Shen Ling originally wanted to share the cost of the taxi with Yige, but when he saw that the figures on the taxi meter were enough for him to pay for a week's food, he was completely confused.

He took out his □□ painfully, he knew that it was so expensive, he would rather be entangled by that highness on the through train than take this damn taxi.

Eagle happily paid the fare, and Shen Ling's idea of splitting the fare was rejected by him. Shen Ling was a little reluctant, and Yi Ge smiled and said: "It was originally to take you for a ride, don't worry about this, the number of free rooms in the hotel provided for candidates is limited, and if you don't go early, it will be gone." ”

Shen Ling had no choice but to put away his □□, thinking that Yi Ge was really a good person, and it would be good to compensate him next time he had the opportunity.

The two went to the University Town Hotel, which provides free accommodation for students who come here to take the exam, and when the two entered the hotel, there were already many people inside. Students from other places lined up in front of the check-in desk in the lobby in a regular manner, and when Eagle and Shen Ling stood at the end of the line, Shen Ling could clearly feel that a few female students glanced shyly at this side.

Of course, their eyes were all focused on Iggy, and occasionally two girls glanced at the little fat he was holding in his arms. Shen Ling should have been a handsome young man, but standing next to the handsome Iggy, he didn't look inconspicuous at all.

Chubby: ╭(╯^╰)╮ I'm more attractive than the owner.

Several registrars at the front desk are busy checking in the candidates' check-in information. When it was Shen Ling's turn, the front desk registrar, who was so busy that he was numb, asked coldly without raising his head, "Zhi Brain?" ”

Shen Ling was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

The registrar repeated impatiently: "Take the brain to enter the information for me." ”

Only then did Shen Ling understand that the other party wanted him to use his brain to come out and swipe his identity information. In the Empire, because of the particularity of the Zhi Brain, it is very common to use the Zhi Brain to brush identity information. But Shen Ling has never stayed in a hotel, and there is also a fully automatic iris verification identity machine in the terminal when he takes the spaceship, so he doesn't understand this.

"I don't have a brain." He replied.

Hearing this, the registrar finally reluctantly lifted his head from the virtual screen where he was buried in his head, full of curiosity to see what kind of student even had an intelligent brain. When he looked at Shen Ling's clothes, he pointed to the iris authentication machine on the side with disgust and said, "Go over there to verify your identity." ”

Shen Ling used the machine to verify the identity of the iris, and the registrar gave him an old door card. Iger also got the key card, but Shen Ling's room was on the first floor, and Iggy's room was on the 18th floor, after the two said goodbye, Shen Ling found the room according to the instructions on the door card, pushed open the door of the room, and Shen Ling smelled a damp and old rotten smell. The room was rudimentary, about the same as the kind of quadruple room he had lived in in the orphanage, and it was covered with dust on both the floor and the furniture, as if no one had moved in it for a long time.

Shen Ling thought to himself that there were really no good goods for free, but he was not such a picky person. For him in such a tight financial situation right now, as long as he has a free room to live in, he is thankful. He went into the room and put his things away and began to clean, but luckily the most primitive cleaning tools, brooms, mops and so on, were still complete.

After cleaning, Shen Ling sat on his desk and reviewed the exam materials for the last time.

Ever since Shen Ling decided to look up to Neil and go to the mecha manufacturing department of the Kaodi Academy, he has been learning relevant knowledge. However, due to limited funds, Shen Ling did not actually operate mecha parts by hand.

For this reason, he is worried that he will not be able to pass the exam, he has already investigated, and the entrance exam of the mecha manufacturing department of the Imperial ** Academy accounts for the highest score not in practical operation but in theoretical knowledge, as long as the theoretical score is good, practical operation can barely enter.

The next day soon came, Shen Ling got up early in the morning, had breakfast in the hotel restaurant, and waited with other students for the special car of the Imperial Affairs Academy to pick up the candidates. A few minutes later, Eagle also came out and greeted Shen Ling warmly.

Because the phoenix has a grudge against Iggy, he snorted "third-class goods" when he saw him

I got on the special bus and arrived at the Imperial Affairs College, where there were already many students at the gate of the school. The students are either looking at the top university that could be the place they will live in for the next five years, or nervously holding the materials for the exam with their brains.

Shen Ling was also very nervous, in fact, he was still very uncertain about whether he could pass the guò exam.

"Don't be nervous." Eagle reassured. "It's over soon, let's go to the physical potential test first."

The first content of the entrance qualification examination of the Imperial Academy is the physical potential test, because different departments have different requirements for physical potential, so only the guò test can be carried out in the next exam. For example, the mecha and battleship command departments, these two departments have particularly high requirements for physical potential, and the minimum requirements are genetic level: A, physical fitness: 5, and mental power: 5.

In fact, this exam is basically a virtual reality, and the candidates who can come to the Imperial Academy to take the entrance examination are basically tested in some institutions that can test their physical potential, and if their physical potential is not up to standard, they will basically not choose the department with high requirements for physical potential, so that students can effectively avoid wasting time on the examination materials of the department that they can't go to.

The mecha manufacturing department that Shen Ling plans to go to has very low requirements for genetic level and physical fitness, as long as the genetic level reaches C or above, and physical fitness is above 3, but in terms of mental power, the requirements of the mecha manufacturing department are relatively high, and mental power is required to be above 7 in order to obtain the qualification to continue the examination.

Shen Ling hadn't gone to other institutions to test his physical potential before, because he didn't have a brain and had never been on the Internet, and he didn't know that there was such an exam. But he is also quite curious about his physical potential, since he is the strongest race in the legend, no matter how much physical potential is not bad.

With this in mind, after handing over Xiaopang to Ig temporarily, Shen Ling sat in a virtual cabin shaped like a white ball.

When Shen Ling's test results appeared on the screen, the testing teacher's eyes instantly rounded, he looked at the virtual cabin and then at Shen Ling, and said suspiciously: "Why is the mental power zero, is the machine broken?" The testing teacher asked Shen Ling to come down, walked over to check it, and said to himself, "No problem." He pointed to the fat student who was about to leave after the test, "Who's that, come here, you test again." ”

The fat student thought that there was a problem with his own test, so he walked over in horror and sat on the virtual cabin. The testing teacher returned to the computer and looked at the values, and scratched his hair in confusion: "No problem, is there really a student with zero mental power?" ”

He asked Shen Ling to sit on it and try it again, and Shen Ling sat on the virtual cabin again with trepidation.

This time the detection was longer than the first time, Shen Ling only felt that his body seemed to lose gravity and float in mid-air for a moment, and suddenly gravity returned, he trembled violently, and the door of the virtual cabin opened.

"It's really zero!" The testing teacher was surprised, he had done the physical potential test for more than ten years, and it was the first time he saw a student with zero mental power, so he muttered the test result without paying attention.

Because the door of the testing room was wide open, Shen Ling's delay was too long, and the students standing in the back all came to the front to watch. I heard that there were students who had zero mental power, and it soon spread among the students.

"It turns out that there are really students with zero spiritual power in this world, I thought it was just a legend."

"It is said that people with zero mental strength are only a little bit more than mentally retarded?"

"I'm curious how he got through the graduation exam."

The testing teacher knew that he had lost his words, coughed twice, handed him Shen Ling's physical potential test report, and persuaded Shen Ling kindly but regretfully: "Classmate, you have failed the physical potential test, and you can't take the next exam, so it's better to go back early." ”

Shen Ling took the test report with a stiff expression, gene level: B, physical fitness: 6, mental power: 0.

"Mermaid cub, it seems that your mental strength is not good." Phoenix said regretfully, "But these people don't know the goods, and your soul power is hundreds of times better than that spiritual power."

"Don't be sad, the mermaid just needs to have a strong soul." Ash said comfortingly.

Shen Ling pursed his lips and didn't speak, he walked to the next Ig who was being tested, and Igge just wanted to open his mouth to comfort, but Shen Ling raised his hand to stop him.

Shen Ling smiled and said, "Give me the little fatty, you come on." ”

Eagle handed the little fat to Shen Ling, and Shen Ling walked out of the testing room with everyone's complicated gaze.

He didn't expect that after working hard for so many years, he ended up in the first exam.

His level of spiritual power, unless there are third-rate schools on some remote planets, other schools don't even have the qualifications to take the exam, let alone the higher learning institutions on the capital planet Kamilia.

His Kamilia dream had already broken before it even began.

Shen Ling's nose was sour, and it was particularly uncomfortable.

Feeling his master's sadness, Chubby climbed onto his master's shoulder and rubbed his cheek.

Shen Ling was stunned for a long time at the door of the testing room, when someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder, he turned his head and saw Yige's gentle smile.

"Hungry, huh? I'll take you to the University Town shopping street, where Maria's Granny candy shop is said to be older than the New Galactic Empire. ”

"You don't want to take the test?" Shen Ling asked suspiciously.

"I suddenly don't want to go to this school." Eagle smiled, "I'm going to take the exam at the Saint-Cyr Comprehensive School tomorrow. By the way, I remember that there is a department in their school that does not require mental power for the exam, it seems to be the animal trainer department, are you interested? ”

Shen Ling's eyes lit up again.

……

Although the university town is called a university town, there are actually only two institutions of higher learning: the Imperial Academy and the Saint-Cyr Complex College.

The shopping street of the university town is located between the two schools of the Imperial Academy and the Saint-Cyr College, and the food here is famous throughout the New Galactic Empire, and people often come here to taste the food.

Of course, of all the gourmet shops, the most famous is the "Granny Maria's Candy Shop", which has been in existence for longer than in the country. As the founder of the shop, Granny Maria's age has also become one of the top ten unsolved mysteries of the New Galactic Empire.

On the second floor of Mother-in-law Maria's candy store, Mother-in-law, who was busy cleaning up the house, heard the sound of "Didi" of Zhi Brain, she opened Zhi Brain, clicked to agree to answer, and the virtual screen immediately jumped out, and a tough old man in beige home clothes appeared on the screen.

But the old man still looked like a child in front of the age-obsessed Granny Maria.

"Long time no see, mother-in-law." Fu Chenhui greeted her mother-in-law intimately.

"Hehe, Xiaohui, you still remember me as an old woman." The mother-in-law leaned over and walked to the desk with her brain and sat down slowly.

"Mother-in-law, I have an important thing to tell you about Xuwen and Yelena when I came to you today."

Hearing the names of her son and daughter-in-law, a glimmer of brilliance appeared in her mother-in-law's cloudy dark eyes. "Quick, tell Mother-in-law."

"I'm going to show you someone." Fu Chenhui passed Shen Ling's information to his mother-in-law.

When the three-dimensional image of the Asian teenager with black hair and black eyes appeared in front of the mother-in-law, the mother-in-law's wrinkled face shook violently?

He ...... He is! ”

"His name is Shen Ling, and he is an orphan." Fu Chenhui said, "Pan Yi and I met him on Xiali Island, and we suspected that he was the child of Xuwen and Yelena. ”

"Doubt? Is this still a matter of doubt? He's definitely my grandson! Mary said excitedly, "Where is he now?" Alley? Granny Maria turned and shouted out the door, "Orange, prepare my spaceship, I'm going to Charlie soon!" ”

"Mother-in-law, calm down, he's not in Harry Island now."

"And where is he?"

"He passed the exam for the basic college this year, and it is said that his voluntary school is the Imperial Academy. Three days ago he took a ride to Kamilia, and I reckon he should take his exam at the Imperial Academy today. ”

"My grandson is in Kamilia!" The mother-in-law screamed with joy, jumped up from her chair as if she had suddenly rejuvenated herself, grabbed her brain and rushed out of the room.
