Life is like this, it can always give you surprises and surprises in unexpected places.
What the eyes see may not be reality.
Cheng Lin originally thought that this was a very ordinary fan group, but now he realized that it was not the case.
These people are all second grade.
It’s Chai Daofei, who was still in the first rank last time I saw him, and now he’s been promoted successfully.
what does that mean?
Taking the Nine Divisions as an example, most of the current students are stuck in the first-level realm.
In front of the altar projection, Cheng Lin was the only second-grade student in the entire Nine Divisions.
Of course, this has changed a lot during this period. Even the top ten in the Ninth Academy's monthly exams have been successfully promoted due to the accumulation of Lingdi's resources. I believe there should be people within the academy who have been promoted.
But no matter how you calculate it, among thousands of people, those who can reach the second level at this time are very few top players.
This is basically true for all major colleges.
Even if there is a difference, it won't be very big.
Therefore, we can responsibly say that these students in the group are almost among the top ten in their respective colleges.
From the perspective of development, they are all current geniuses and are more likely to become the backbone or even the pillar force of Xia Kingdom's cultivators in the near future.
This group has gathered so many elites. How can this not be surprising?
"I really don't know how Chai Daofei managed to attract so many people. Not only are they good enough, but they are all fans of Senior Cheng... It's not easy at all."
Cheng Lin was very curious.
This also explains why there are so few people in the group. After all, the elites are in the minority.
Thinking in his heart, Cheng Lin remained silent on the surface and just chatted casually in the group.
After a brief introduction, the topic naturally turned to projection.
"Speaking of which, you should all be on your way to the projection, right?" Suddenly, a member of the group nicknamed Wucai Liangpi asked.
Cheng Lin remembered that he was one of the few two second-grade and third-dan students, and he was born in the second academy.
"Yes, in the car."
"I just set off and haven't gotten in the car yet."
"Same as above."
Members of the group responded one after another.
Cheng Lin blinked and realized that the seven or eight people currently in the group were basically on the road.
"Are you also allowed to enter the projection exploration? As far as I know, this exploration should not include students." Cheng Lin asked tentatively.
Chai Daofei replied: "That's true. This time the projection appeared on the sea.
According to previous regulations, marine areas do not fall under the jurisdiction of any department.
So after discussion, the final result was to allocate these projections to multiple departments and bureaus.
Naturally, ordinary students can no longer go there, but we are different."
After a pause, Chai Daofei sent a "reserved" emoticon and said with a smile: "We are elites."
This sentence might be ridiculed in other places. There is no one who calls himself an elite. In Xia culture, this seems too immodest.
But here, everyone agrees with it.
This is not a question of humility, but a matter of fact.
"The news I heard is that all departments and bureaus have quotas for second-grade and above students like us.
Let us go in and explore as students and formal lapels. This is also an opportunity for rapid growth.
Speaking of which, each college usually has a closed network. If everyone hadn't come out today, there wouldn't be so many people online in the group."
Chai Daofei said.
Well, now it makes sense.
Cheng Lin nodded. No wonder Chai Daofei only increased his prestige at this time. It seemed that he had just come out of a closed academy, and everyone in the group was similar.
Thinking about it, Cheng Lin suddenly remembered something and scrolled the chat history forward. When he saw the self-introductions of the group members, his eyes suddenly flashed.
At this time, the "Five Color Liangpi" from the Second Academy who had reached level 3 of cultivation spoke:
"Speaking of which, many people in the group are rushing to the projection this time, but everyone's purpose is different.
After all, there are seven projections,
I remember that the projection of the sea area near our magic city was jointly explored by our second division and six, nine and ten. Look at it this way...
Hey, when will you arrive in Magic City? Do you want to get together?"
Get together?
This proposal immediately aroused everyone's interest.
Speaking of which, most of the people in the support group organized by Chai Daofei are actually netizens and have never met in person. This is really a good opportunity.
"Agree! Many people in our group will meet in the real-life projection in the future, so it would be nice to take this opportunity to get acquainted.
First of all, this is the first offline meeting of our senior Cheng fan support group.
Secondly, when we enter the projection, everyone can take care of each other."
Chai Daofei, as the group leader, expressed his high approval at this time.
Wuse Liangpi smiled and said: "That's best! Without further ado, how about tonight? Everyone should be able to arrive tonight, right? I'm in the magic city, how about I do my duty as a landlord this time? I'll make an order right away
Location, let’s get together and talk tonight.”
"Speaking of which, as for the Magic City, we really have a lot of people to go to this time."
"@马拉香肉pot, are you coming?"
Cheng Lin was a little hesitant when he saw this proposal. Should we meet offline?
He had just joined the group and was familiar with Chai Daofei alone. Now he suddenly wanted to go to a party. According to his personality, he did not like it very much.
But his reason told him that this party was necessary.
After having the refining furnace, as long as you obtain the Hejian according to the plan, if you want to repair it, you need to find the Hejian produced by other projections.
This requires information channels and connections, which Cheng Lin currently lacks, but this group is a good opportunity in front of him.
Taking this opportunity to communicate with elite students from various departments and bureaus is a good thing no matter how you look at it.
"I'll check the situation when I arrive. If there's no problem, I'll go." Cheng Lin replied cautiously.
He still didn't know the arrangements after arriving in the magic city, and he didn't know whether he could move around freely, so he didn't say anything too harshly.
"Okay, then it's settled. I'll prepare it first. When you arrive and confirm it, we can communicate in the group at any time!"
…
…
After the matter was finalized, everyone was in high spirits.
Perhaps he was looking forward to the party in the evening, so he didn't continue to talk about the projection in depth, which made Cheng Lin feel a little regretful.
The high-speed rail is very fast, and it only takes a few hours to reach the magical capital from the departure point.
Cheng Lin turned off his cell phone, closed his eyes and rested for a while. He accidentally fell asleep. When he was woken up by the arrival reminder, he opened his eyes in a daze.
"I actually fell asleep?" Cheng Lin smiled bitterly.
Unexpectedly, as a practitioner, I still can't resist the fatigue during the long journey.
After walking out of the station, the people from Jiusi quickly met up as agreed. After that, the people from Jiusi's office in Shanghai had prepared the car. After the group got on the car, they came to a block close to the seaside and opened a restaurant together.
hostel.
Yang Congxian, who had broken through the fourth level, was at the peak of his powers and was very energetic. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he gave a very brief speech, waved his hand, asked for information, and left.
A group of little lapels were left looking at each other.
Cheng Lin caught a small lapel who was sitting relatively close to him in the car.
They had chatted a few times before. The other person's surname was Feng, and he was only in his twenties. However, he had a gray head, and his face was not visible in the crowd, but his hair was very conspicuous.
"Brother Feng, Deputy Secretary Yang is leaving now? What should we do next?" Cheng Lin asked.
The little lapel surnamed Feng asked for a tissue from the front desk lady, wiped his face, and said with a smile: "Next? Move around freely. Take a rest when you are tired. If you are not tired, you can also go out for a walk."
"That's it? Is that okay?" Cheng Lin was a little surprised. He thought there would be strict rules and regulations, such as not being allowed to go out.
The little lapel named Feng grinned, patted his shoulder, and said with a hearty smile:
"Why not?
Our formal lapels are different from those of yours in the academy. We maintain strict discipline, but other things are actually more relaxed.
When you come out this time and put on this uniform, just treat yourself as an official member.
Are you familiar with the discipline manual I showed you before?
As long as you don't violate the above regulations, you can just treat yourself as an ordinary person.
The projection hasn't solidified yet, and we have no mission, so we can just pretend we are traveling.
Do you understand?"
Cheng Lin nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, thank you, Brother Feng."
"Hey, what's the point? According to your current progress, you can probably graduate early.
Maybe in two months, we will be colleagues, so don’t be polite.
By the way, we're going to go out and have fun later. Let's go? Together?
You entered the academy right after you graduated from high school, right? That's not possible. How about my brothers showing you the world?"
As he spoke, he winked with excitement, pointed to the bustling streets and high-rise buildings outside, and said: "When you come to the world of flowers, you can't come here in vain!"
Have fun?
What to play?
Cheng Lin's breath tightened, and he quickly shook his head and declined: "No, I'd better go around by myself."
The little lapel surnamed Feng touched his chin, with a look of regret on his face, "Okay, let's go first."
"goodbye."
"bye."
After saying that, he and a few lapels walked out of the hotel with a smile and ran towards the colorful world. Of course, they were all wearing casual clothes.
Cheng Lin watched a few men walk out, shook his head, but smiled again.
His previous impression of small lapels was still in the serious style.
But after really getting in touch with them, I realized that they are ordinary people, even more easy-going than those in the police and military systems. After all, many of these little lapels were ordinary people not long ago.
Strangeness comes from distance.
The same goes for fear.
When he came out this time, he no longer had the discipline constraints of the college teachers. Cheng Lin felt relaxed all over for a moment, as if the sea was wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky was high enough for birds to fly.
After simply packing up his things and changing his clothes, Cheng Lin walked out of the hotel leisurely and came to the bustling street.
It was already evening at this time, the street lights were not yet on, but the LED billboards on the tall buildings on both sides of the street had already been lit up early.
Colorful lights fill both sides of the street. If you ignore the crowded flow of people, it is simply a sea of lights.
High-rise buildings are like the tall and straight lines drawn by a painter, holding up the sky here, and also supporting countless gold foils and material desires, countless young people's dreams and losses, legends rising like meteors, and more unknown tiny souls.
Standing at the street corner, Cheng Lin raised his head and looked at the street signs with metal pieces written on them like feather dusters, his big eyes flashing with confusion.
"Boom~"
A message appeared on the phone.
Cheng Lin glanced at it and saw that it was a message from @all members.
"At 7:30 in the evening, we will gather at this location for dinner!"
Under this text, there is also a map location card.
Cheng Lin clicked it and looked at it, then looked at the street sign above his head and showed a smile.
