When the blue bus stopped in front of the two of them, it wasn't just Sun Xiao whose eyes widened.
Even Cheng Lin was surprised.
They thought it would be a car or a minivan, but they didn't expect it to be such a big bus.
It's the kind of bus that runs between two cities, with only fifty or sixty seats in one bus.
Do you need such a big car?
In other words, how many students are there in Ningcheng?
"Stop standing around and get in the car!"
The driver was not Qi Bin, but he was also a small lapel driver.
There was also a white-collar clerk in the car who looked familiar, as if he had met him when he went to the Group 8 office building.
The two looked at each other, put the suitcases away first, and then got in the car.
When I looked into the car, I saw that the huge car was already full of people.
From a visual inspection, I'm afraid there are not forty or fifty of them.
Almost all of them are young people, about the same age as the two of them.
These people only glanced at them with slight curiosity, then withdrew their gazes, and each of them listened to music and read novels.
Are these all the second batch of students?
"Find a seat first."
The clerical woman said.
"good."
The two nodded and looked for seats all the way to the back, only to find that there were no longer two consecutive seats.
After thinking about it, the two of them simply went to the back.
There is a bench seat at the very back of the bus, which is still empty. As soon as the two of them sat down, the bus closed and started again.
The civilian lapel boy stood up and walked over, then stretched out his hand towards them.
Sun Xiao glanced at her and asked, "How much is it?"
The woman was stunned when asked: "What money?"
"Aren't you... the one who collects fares?"
The woman's pretty face darkened and she said, "What are you thinking about? I want to see your IDs!"
"Oh oh oh, sorry, here."
Sun Xiao took back his wallet in embarrassment and handed over his ID card.
The same goes for Cheng Lin.
The woman's eyes were obviously a little strange when she checked Cheng Lin's ID, and then she looked at him deeply before returning to the front in silence.
No way, who made the name Cheng Lin so famous?
…
Next, the blue bus stopped a few more times, and a few people picked up, all of whom were young people. They should all be students.
This surprised both of them.
They didn't expect that Ningcheng's second batch of students would be so large.
Sun Xiao even said in a low voice with a puzzled look on his face: "I thought there were very few awakened people, but I didn't expect that there are dozens of people in Guangning City."
Cheng Lin shook his head and said: "Our Xia Kingdom has a total population of more than one billion. According to the introduction in the pamphlet,
The ages of awakened people are mainly under 40 years old and over 14 years old.
Although there are other age groups, their numbers are relatively small.
This is still the data distribution of the first batch of awakened people.
According to the latest data,
The people who gradually awakened later were almost all between the ages of 18 and 25.
But even if we only look at people in this age group,
There are hundreds of millions in the entire Xia Kingdom,
There are more than 500 cities in the country,
The population base of each city is listed there,
They all have a population of hundreds of thousands or millions,
No matter how rare the awakened ones are,
There must be a lot of people gathered together.”
Sun Xiao also nodded when he heard this. This is the reason. "When you put it like this, I think the second batch of students in Ningcheng is quite small. It can only be accommodated in this bus..."
At this time, the civilian lapel had just finished checking the identity of a young man. Hearing Sun Xiao's words, he couldn't help but said: "One bus? What are you thinking about? This is your third bus, and there are two other buses picking up others.
Students.”
Sun Xiao opened his mouth but couldn't speak. So, could it be that there are more than a hundred students in the second batch of students in Guangning City?
How many will there be in that province?
Are there thousands of people?
Thousands of awakened ones?
This is only the second batch of students. You must know that the number of people who awakened in the first batch half a year ago was much larger.
Sun Xiao was not calm at that time.
Even Cheng Lin frowned.
According to their original guess, there were only a few hundred people in the so-called Ninth College.
But now it seems that the scale of Ninth College is much larger than they imagined.
With thousands of students... it would be equivalent to the size of a high school.
Just as I was thinking about it, the bus suddenly stopped again.
Next, I saw a girl wearing a brown windbreaker appear at the door of the car.
This immediately attracted their attention.
It’s not because of anything else, but because it’s July, which is the hot time of summer, the temperature is very high, and almost everyone in the car is wearing cool summer clothes.
In this case, she was actually wearing a windbreaker... which was somewhat conspicuous.
"Wearing a windbreaker in this summer, you don't have to worry about covering up prickly heat..." Sun Xiao muttered.
However, before he finished speaking, when the girl stepped onto the car, the temperature of the entire car suddenly plummeted.
It was just a normal temperature before, but now... it's as if the air conditioner has been turned on... The students were almost all shocked.
Even the driver and the female clerk were surprised: "Please find a seat first."
"kindness."
The girl nodded with a cold voice and walked back.
She is very tall, no shorter than Cheng Lin, with a figure as tall as a willow, fair complexion, and regular facial features. She is very beautiful. Her black hair is tied behind her head. Her eyes are like phoenix eyes, which are very attractive. Her eyes are shining and translucent.
It smells like a stranger.
The temperament is a little cold, but it is not weak, but has a heroic flavor.
very beautiful.
There were a few bolder ones, and the young people with empty seats beside them subconsciously puffed up their chests.
It's a pity that she just glanced at it without stopping. She didn't seem to want to get too close to others, so she kept choosing and came to the end.
After all, in comparison, the entire back row is quite spacious for three people.
"Can I sit here?" the girl came over and asked.
Cheng Lin and Sun Xiao immediately gave her some space.
"Thanks."
The girl was still polite, but when she said thank you, she didn't have a smile on her face at all, which looked weird.
At this time, the civilian woman also came over and asked her for her ID card.
Cheng Lin happened to see her name from the side: Xie Qingke
Your surname is Xie?
Cheng Lin was startled and remembered the news he accidentally heard in the noodle shop a few days ago.
The eldest daughter of the owner of Eslite Lou Gold Store is named Xie, and she is also a student in the second batch.
The surname Xie is not a small one, but it is not particularly common either.
Looking at it this way, there is still a possibility that this Xie Qingke is that person.
Cheng Lin thought about this and his eyes stayed on her face.
Xie Qingke sensed his gaze, first ignored it, then frowned slightly, then looked over directly, looked at Cheng Lin, and asked: "Is something wrong?"
"Yes, I would like to take the liberty to ask, between you and the Eslite Lou Gold Store in Ningcheng..."
"That's my shop, what's wrong?" Xie Qingke was a little surprised that Cheng Lin recognized her.
Sure enough it was her!
Cheng Lin's eyes showed a clear look, he hesitated, smiled gently, and said: "It's nothing, I just think your business is doing well, and the gold in the store is of high purity, which is very good."
After saying that, he turned back again.
Xie Qingke: "...?"
She was completely confused by Cheng Lin's words.
The iceberg girl's temperament almost broke her success.
This man... speaks so inexplicably!
As for Sun Xiao, who was witnessing all this, his eyes were shining brightly. He didn't expect that this girl's family was so rich.
What I didn't expect was that Cheng Lin, who was usually honest and amiable, would be so bold when it came to striking up a conversation.
The technical content seems to be quite high... Is this the so-called hard-to-get game?
Sure enough, reading more is useful.
…
…
After Xie Qingke got on the bus, no one came up.
The blue bus finally turned out of the city and drove onto the intercity highway.
Although Ningcheng is not very far from the provincial capital, it still takes five or six hours to get there by bus.
After such a long time, even if it was a bit fresh at first, as time went on, everyone in the car started to feel drowsy.
This situation did not change until the radio started to sound in the car.
"We are about to arrive at the terminal. Please be prepared and pick up your luggage. Thank you for your support along the way. See you next time..."
The announcement was a recorded arrival reminder, and now the group of stunned students in the car finally cheered up.
There are still fields outside the car window.
But the difference is that we can already see tall buildings in the distance.
Unfortunately, the car did not go to the city, but changed lanes and drove slowly towards the edge of the city.
Tens of minutes later, on a desolate land, a building that looked like a college finally appeared in front of it.
The students in the car were leaning on the windows and looking out with some excitement.
The atmosphere was a little restless.
If nothing else happens, they will have to live here for the next six months.
Cheng Lin silently opened the map software on his phone, located it, and found that this place was in an old town in the provincial capital city, very close to it.
The surroundings are very desolate.
The only name written on a large building is a certain campus of a certain university.
"It seems that this place was renovated by a university campus..."
Cheng Lin was not surprised. He had already expected that the Ninth Spiritual Training Academy must be established in a very remote and desolate place.
After all, you have to be isolated from ordinary people.
Some university campuses are generally located in desolate places, and the infrastructure on campus is still complete. Once the gate is closed, there is no problem living inside.
"hiss……"
Just as I was thinking about it, the blue bus stopped, and the civilian lapel began to organize everyone to get off.
You can see that there are many buses parked in front of the school gate at this time, and there are also many people crowded in. It is quite lively.
Students sent from various cities arrived in these two days, and there were quite a lot of them.
There are school staff who are directing and leading students to enter.
The staff in the Ninth Hospital wear uniforms, similar to the style of clothes with small lapels, but the hem is more curved, and the color of the whole suit is also gray.
"The new students line up and follow the leader into the school gate!"
"Don't make any noise! Don't walk around! Carry your luggage!"
"Who is that? Help that little girl carry her suitcase...what are these big and small packages for? Which city sent them? Didn't you warn me in advance?"
"Whose suitcase is this with hello kitty on it? Take it away quickly!"
"Little girl? Where are you going? This way...ah? Are you a boy?"
Several college staff in their thirties were sweating profusely and giving instructions back and forth.
All I need is a big speaker.
It would be perfect if there could be a rainbow bridge at the school gate, a few hydrogen balloons, and a banner to warmly welcome new students.
What Cheng Lin saw after getting out of the car was this noisy scene.
He suddenly had a black line on his face. This was a bit different from the serious atmosphere he had imagined.
Turning around, I saw a tall and cold figure walking down.
Xie Qingke's beautiful brows also wrinkled slightly.
The next moment, I saw the small civilian lapel leader of the team greeting: "Everyone, line up, don't run around, follow me!"
With that said, a group of them formed a team and slowly walked into the gate of the Ninth College.
Inside the school gate is a straight asphalt road, dark, with yellow traffic lines painted on it.
On both sides are flower beds with lush green trees and flowers.
The group walked a few hundred meters in, when Cheng Lin suddenly looked in a certain direction as if aware.
"What's wrong?" Sun Xiao asked.
Cheng Lin shook his head and said, "There seems to be a venue over there."
"Venue? Is it the entrance speech for freshmen?" Sun Xiao was startled.
Xie Qingke, who was not far away from them, also looked over.
Then he uttered a few words coldly: "That's the graduation ceremony."
