Chapter 17: Roy Plains
Along the way, the food train crosses several countries, with different architectural styles, different natural environments, and quite fantastical colors.
It reminds Ivan of the strange adventure novels in the world he once had.
On the track flush with the sea, the food train runs by, as if driving on the sea, the cold sea breeze in the early morning, the seagulls chasing the train, and the golden sunshine at the junction of the sea and the sky, which is amazing.
Patches of hills, green leaves within reach, cicadas chirping, birds chirping one after another, the tunnel formed by vines overhead blocking the light, and the sunlight blocked by the leaves, dappled on the train, like a beautiful oil painting.
I couldn't see the horizon on the edge, and as far as the eye could see, there was flat ground, tender green grass, a breeze, and the cattle and sheep chewing the tender grass looked up at the unknown iron monster running.
Along the way, the seven-day journey, all kinds of buildings, houses built on the sea, cabins on the hills, yurts on the steppe, all kinds of animals and creatures, both known and unknown, opened Ivan's eyes.
On the way, there were several station resource supplies, giving everyone time to get off the train and rest.
The sweet water snail, a specialty of a coastal area, is about the size of a bowl, placed in ice water, the white shell has a kind of jade texture, and it is as cold as a mountain-like spring when touched.
The tool pried open the bottom, sucked it with its mouth, and inserted the straw exquisitely, just like sucking jelly, the sweet snail is uniquely sweet, cold and cold, and it also has a little white fungus taste, washing away the irritability of the hot summer.
The wild boar boar in the hills is wrapped in rice, the wild boar here eats the sweetest berries, drinks the clearest mountain spring water, the soft and glutinous wild boar has no fishy smell, a trace of the unique sweet and sour berries, the wild boar absorbs the juicy rice, the grains are distinct, shiny, full of fragrance, a bite down, giving people infinite satisfaction,
The endless meadow, the delicate mutton barbecue, without the slightest smell, stained with the local unique leek jam, take a roll of beet leaves, stuff it into the mouth, there is no greasy, and instantly let you feel the vastness of the grassland, the meaning of fresh words.
This seven-day journey made Ivan realize what it means to be a vastness of heaven and earth, and the infinite deliciousness of the world, every day gave him a great impact, and the seeds of the idea of wanting to eat the whole world were planted in his heart, waiting for one day to sprout and grow.
After a very impactful journey, he opened the second fine hole.
The sound of the whistle of the food train still retains the steam charm of the original old train, and the train finally stops as the water vapor rises into the air.
The endless plains are not covered with green, just like the dry season in Africa, withered yellow mixed with a little green bushes, a lot of gravel scattered everywhere, the harsh wind blows through and rolls up a lot of sand and gravel, there is an illusion of the Gobi Desert.
You can even see a lot of craters as if they were smashed out by something, just like the surface of the moon.
"Is our academy right here?" Ran Lu looked around curiously, his eyes couldn't hide his disappointment, there was no beautiful campus scenery as he imagined, only withered yellow shrubs, and a sense of desolation rose from the depths of his heart.
"Idiot, this is Roy Plains, one of the seven training grounds of the Academy of Gastronomy." Emma rolled her eyes at Ranlu.
"Our academy headquarters is not here, but in the food forest, and this is one of our academy's testing grounds, Roy Plains, which is also the venue for your potential assessment before admission, and this evaluation will ultimately determine your future life on campus." Polk stepped forward and explained.
The entrance assessment of Yuanyue Gastronomy Academy is equivalent to an entrance exam, and resources are divided according to grades, and the better the results, the more resources can be obtained.
"I've been looking forward to this assessment for a long time, and I'll definitely leave my name on the freshman list." Emma was very excited, she had been looking forward to this test for a long time, and she had even prepared for it.
The asymmetry of resources will cause the asymmetry of information, and people like Emma who won at the starting line, most of the information about the far moon has already been clear.
The annual freshman list of Yuanyue is directly linked to resources, and even the top three freshmen will be rewarded by the college.
The rewards are different every year, but they are all extremely rare existences, just like last year's freshman reward is the air snow fruit that grows on the top of Mount Everest on the Red Earth Continent, 10,000 meters above sea level, and can directly open several sperm holes in the body when eaten, and it can also enhance the potential of the body, which is one of the seven incredible delicacies in the human world.
Last year's shock made Emma especially look forward to this year's rewards.
"Pock, take them to the freshman gathering place, I'll go first." Ark got out of the car and walked away.
As one of the life administrators of the Far Moon Academy, and the person directly in charge of this freshman enrollment assessment, there are a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
"Alright, I'll take you to the gathering place and get to know the others." Polk smiled.
Ivan was the last of the new students to arrive, just in time for today's freshman assessment, which is a grand occasion every year, and many Yuanyue teachers will watch the assessment process and select the students they want to mentor in a year's time.
In the same way, every year, these outstanding people selected from the entire Ezhen Continent shine, and when they shine, there will always be some geniuses or monsters who overwhelm everyone.
Pork is looking forward to seeing what kind of light this group will shine in this assessment.
"Come on!" Ivan encouraged Ran Lu, carrying his backpack and wanting to leave, as a freshman in the biology department, it has nothing to do with this freshman assessment of the hunter department, just a few steps away, but was stopped by Maya.
"Ivan, you're going to take part in this test too."
"Biology students are also participating?" Ivan's tone changed, and he looked at Maya with a strange expression, looking at her with an expression that you are sure you are not teasing me.
The technology nerd of the biology department participated in the freshman evaluation of the hunter department, and it was not right to think about it.
"All freshmen with mental power must participate, this is the rule of the college." Maya turned her head to look into the distance, not daring to look directly into Ivan's eyes.
Maya's expression of obviously lying, made Ivan move his gaze to Pock, wanting to ask for proof, Poke nodded calmly, indicating that I am an honest person and will not lie to you, Ivan will be suspicious of this, but he can't question it.
"Hahaha, let's do it together." Ranro kept Ivan's shoulder, and was obviously happy to have a friend with him for the assessment.
Ivan still suspected that there was something wrong with it, but after thinking about it, he didn't think that Maya had any benefit in deceiving himself. I had to leave the station with Pock.
