After finally waiting for everyone to finish the discussion, Fang Ping poked Chen Fan next to him and whispered: "Ma... Grandmaster Ma, is this Ma Huateng?"
Chen Fan's expression changed, and he instantly became serious, and said seriously: "Fang Ping, calling the master by his name is the greatest disrespect!"
Fang Ping: "..."
Fang Ping felt like crying at this time. Good guy, I can’t even mention his name. Brother Ma’s majesty is simply scarier than the president.
However, Fang Ping is also sure of one thing. The boss of Penguin is indeed Brother Ma.
The company is right, the boss is right, the only thing wrong is the martial arts expert that everyone calls him.
I always felt that there was something strange mixed in suddenly, which made Fang Ping feel like a lump in his throat.
Suppressing the desire to refute, Fang Pingzhuangruo said unintentionally: "I have been busy preparing for the college entrance examination recently, and I haven't watched much news. Please tell me and see if there is anything interesting?"
Chen Fan didn't take it seriously and said: "It's not like those things before. Grandmaster Ma broke through to the eighth level. This thing is a bit unexpected."
Chen Fan doesn't like gossip very much, but the future bearded Yang Jian in the front row is quite talkative.
At this time, the school bell hadn’t rang yet. Yang Jian also heard Fang Ping’s question. He turned around and whispered: “There aren’t many confirmed big news, but I read the gossip news a few days ago and I know some gossip.
, I don’t know if it’s accurate.
I heard that Ah Li’s Master Ma may have broken through the seventh level recently and reached the rank of Grandmaster!
Baidu's Grandmaster Li seems to be preparing to retreat and break through to the eighth level. The time for Grandmaster Li to break through to the seventh level is almost the same as that of Penguin's Grandmaster Ma. However, in recent years, Grandmaster Li's martial arts progress has not been as fast as that of Grandmaster Ma. It is hard to say whether he can break through.
.
By the way, there is another news, our Governor Zhang of Nanjiang Province is very likely to break through the seventh level in the near future.
Once Governor Zhang breaks through to the seventh level, it will be great. Our Nanjiang has been weak for many years, and now there are only a few older generation seventh level masters sitting on one side. Governor Zhang is not very old. If he breaks through, he is expected to go one step further and sweep away Nanjiang martial arts.
A chronic disease of weakness.
Also, before this year’s Wuhan University exam, our school seems to have invited a senior who was admitted to Nanjiang Wuhan University last year to give us a speech..."
Yang Jian kept talking about gossip, but Fang Ping felt as if he was listening to heavenly scriptures.
Most of the gossip news Yang Jian talked about were news related to warriors.
So-and-so may be about to break through, and so-and-so is in retreat.
Fang Ping had heard the names of some of them, not just in the business world, but also in the entertainment world, and even in the political world.
From some of Yang Jian's inadvertent words, Fang Ping could feel that warriors had a very respected status in this society. Those who were powerful below the seventh rank, Yang Jian always took the suffix of master, and those above the seventh rank were called grand masters.
Another point can also be seen, all well-known figures seem to be strong martial arts.
Or in other words, if you are not strong, you will not be famous.
During this period, Fang Ping asked casually, how strong are these people?
In the end, Yang Jian was very rude and said: "Any warrior who comes here can beat us into pieces!"
When the school bell rang, before the teacher came, Yang Jian slightly said with emotion: "If you don't pass the martial arts exam, you won't become a martial artist, and you'll be like this for the rest of your life.
Being an official can't help you in the market, and the same goes for doing business. It's difficult for ordinary people to get ahead!"
As soon as these words came out, Fang Ping was stunned again.
Chen Fan, who had not spoken much before, was also a little disappointed and said in a low voice: "Martial artists are in the minority after all, not to mention that for us, whether we are in business or politics, we may not be able to get to that point, so there is no need to care about this."
Through the conversation between the two, Fang Ping vaguely felt something.
If you don't become a warrior, according to his understanding, you can't be an official beyond the department level, and you can't do business in other cities.
I don’t know if it’s a hard rule or an unspoken rule that everyone acquiesces to.
But no matter what it is, Fang Ping can feel the society's strong malice towards him!
If you don't become a warrior or a strong person, even if you are a reborn person, I'm afraid you will only be at the bottom for the rest of your life.
The key is that now Fang Ping seriously doubts whether he is reborn?
Although the appearance of the classmates has not changed, the names have not changed, including the names of the big guys and companies, they are all correct.
But a high-powered profession suddenly appears, are the others really the same as what I remember?
I wanted to ask a few more questions, but at this moment the teacher had already entered the classroom, and everyone else went back to their seats, so there was no more chatting.
Moreover, these things are common sense to others, and Fang Ping does not want to ask in detail.
If he keeps asking more, I'm afraid these guys will suspect that he has lost his memory.
After thinking about it, while the teacher was turning around, Fang Ping asked Chen Fan in a low voice: "Our school...is there an Internet cafe near the school?"
Chen Fan gave him a strange look, but still replied: "Of course, didn't you often go to that Blue Sky Internet Cafe before?"
"call!"
Fang Ping breathed out, nodded and said nothing. It seemed that some things were still the same.
For example, this Internet cafe with a cliché name is still there. Since the Internet cafe is still there, it means that some things have not changed. If you go to the Internet cafe after school to check the information, you should be able to find the information you want to know.
Seeing that Fang Ping was relieved, Chen Fan kindly reminded him: "Although we can't pass the martial arts exam, we can't give up. If we do well in the liberal arts exam, we still have a chance to get ahead, and maybe we will have the opportunity to become a warrior in the future.
The college entrance examination is around the corner, so I’d better go to Internet cafes less often..."
Fang Ping smiled and nodded. As a member of the "Ordinary Duo", although Chen Fan didn't talk much, everyone had similar conditions and he cared about his deskmate.
…
After finally finishing the remaining classes in the morning, Fang Ping hurried out as soon as the school bell rang.
At this time, he was full of doubts and needed to be clarified.
Chen Fan saw Fang Ping walking out in a hurry. After thinking about it, he caught up and said, "Are you going to eat or go to an Internet cafe?"
"cybercafe."
"Come back early, the first period in the afternoon is the homeroom teacher's class."
Fang Ping responded. At this time, because his parents were both at work, he had lunch at a fast food restaurant near the school and did not have to go home.
Taking advantage of his free time at noon, his strong thirst for knowledge made him want to go to the Internet cafe immediately to learn something he didn't know.
With a quick pace, Fang Ping briefly scanned the environment along the way.
Just like in his memory, there was nothing different about Yangcheng No. 1 Middle School. His classmates and teachers were also normal. Fang Ping did not see anyone climbing over walls.
In terms of contrast, it is probably that there are some strange slogans and signboards in the school.
"Preparing for the college entrance examination, I'm here for martial arts!"
"Fight to the death and strive for martial arts!"
"To take the martial arts exam, come to Jade Bird - Jade Bird Martial Arts Tutoring Class, your best choice!"
"One blood energy pill will ensure you get into martial arts!"
"..."
If these strange gadgets hadn't appeared openly on campus, Fang Ping would definitely have reason to believe that magicians and Dali Pill sellers had sneaked into the school.
But at this moment, looking at everyone's accustomed appearance, Fang Ping understood that this was not the world he remembered after all.
As for how big the gap is, we won't know until we figure it out.
…
Ten minutes later, Fang Ping arrived at the Blue Sky Internet Cafe, which was not too far from the school.
It’s still a familiar taste, and it’s still a familiar sign.
It looked like a high-end Internet cafe back then, but now it looks shabby. The words "Blue Sky Internet Cafe" can hardly be read.
Stepping into the Internet cafe, the familiar but somewhat unfamiliar female network administrator, a young girl, was sitting at the bar at the door.
I remember back then, during the hormonal youth period, the female network administrator who dressed more maturely than the students would sneak into Fang Ping's dreams several times and do some shameful and bad things.
Looking back now...
Fang Ping felt that his eyes must have been a little crooked when he was young.
Also, if you really want to be beautiful, why should you be a network administrator?
Glancing at the female webmaster, Fang Ping had no intention of flirting with girls. Even if he flirted with girls, girls of this caliber were not suitable for tall, reborn people.
But when I think of "Grandmaster Ma", that spontaneous feeling of looking down is instantly shattered.
The reborn person is quite tall, but the key is to be reborn in the right place!
After a few curses in his mind, Fang Ping did not delay and went straight to the topic: "How much does it cost per hour to set up a machine?"
"3 yuan."
The female network administrator answered simply, and then said: "Are you a member? If you are not a member, open a membership, top up 50 and get 10 yuan."
Fang Ping looked arrogant and didn't bother to talk to her.
Recharge 50 yuan to get 10 yuan, so stingy!
Besides...which of your eyes can tell that I look like someone with 50 yuan?
After a few classes in the morning, Fang Ping had already figured out his net worth. His total wealth was 28 yuan.
This little money, including my own lunch money, I have to be able to get it out if I want to recharge 50.
Ignoring the network administrator's promotion, Fang Ping took out a 5-yuan bill from his pocket and slapped it on the bar with a proud face.
Of course, the female network administrator also ignored a poor guy like him, threw him a temporary membership card and ignored him.
Fang Ping wanted to shout "Don't bully young people who are poor", but considering that the network administrator's level was too low, he could just leave this to the big guys in the future. He didn't argue with the network administrator anymore and went to the corner of the Internet cafe with his temporary membership card.
…
A corner of the Internet cafe.
As the computer turned on, Fang Ping searched eagerly for the information he wanted to know.
The dim light of the display screen reflected a somewhat gloomy expression on Fang Ping's face.
If someone were sitting near Fang Ping at this time, they would feel something strange about Fang Ping.
Sometimes his face changes, sometimes he is indignant, sometimes he gnashes his teeth...
Sometimes, a few national curses would come out of Fang Ping's mouth, and he didn't know whether he was scolding God or who he was scolding.
After more than an hour, the machine shut down automatically and the Internet bill ran out.
Fang Ping had no intention of recharging money, and walked out of the Internet cafe with a little confusion and understanding.
The moment he stepped out of the Internet cafe, Fang Ping's expression became much firmer, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Take the martial arts test!"
As if that was not enough to prove his determination, Fang Ping added: "You must take the martial arts exam!"
