2. Test your talent
"Brother Xiaobai, are you studying so hard to go to the Academy of the Able?" Chu Xiaohui asked while waving her sword in the courtyard.
"It turns out that the chat is so profound, well, step up and learn." Li Xiaobai looked at the book very attentively and muttered.
"Brother Xiaobai, we can go to the town together this autumn to test our talents, and if we pass the test, we will be able to do so." Chu Xiaohui's sword was swinging faster and faster.
"Listen to the old people in the village, this time is a test of talent, some people have talent, some people don't, Brother Xiaobai, do you say I have talent?" The sword flower wielded by Chu Xiaohui was even more complicated, and Li Xiaobai's eyes couldn't keep up with Chu Xiaohui's sword.
"How smart is my Xiaohui, she must be talented, don't worry, there are still a few months to start testing?" Li Xiaobai took out another book "Men Must Be Fast" and continued to read it.
"The school starts in September, probably, around the end of August, to test the talent." As Chu Xiaohui's sword flower became faster and faster, a breeze actually blew in the courtyard.
"There are still 2 months, so I'll hurry up, time is pressing." Li Xiaobai looked at Chu Xiaohui and was stunned for a moment, and then took out another book called "How to Be a Man Like the Wind" in a daze.
"Hah!" As Chu Xiaohui's sword fell, a strong wind suddenly blew in the courtyard, and only a crackling sound was heard on the courtyard wall, like firecrackers during the New Year.
"Xiaohui, I don't think you're tired at all?" Li Xiaobai looked at Chu Xiaohui with some confusion.
In the past, Chu Xiaohui always had to be out of breath or sweat profusely when practicing swords. Could it be that Xiaohui has opened her talent?
Li Xiaobai thought for a moment by himself, and felt that Chu Xiaohui had indeed changed too much, could it be that Xiaohui was the kind of peerless genius with extraordinary talents?
I remember that it has only been a month since she practiced swords.
Isn't it a bit heart-wrenching.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaobai flipped through the space and found a book called "The First Step of Genius".
"Ah, it turns out that the first step of genius is to need ......," Li Xiaobai sighed.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the end of August hit, Li Xiaobai and Chu Xiaohui packed their bags and prepared to go to the town to test their talents.
At this time, grandpa was already waiting for the two of them in the courtyard, and glanced at Chu Xiaohui with satisfaction and said, "Xiaohui, I am very relieved of you, just put your mind in place and play normally." ”
Chu Xiaohui: "Okay, grandpa." ”
Grandpa looked at Li Xiaobai solemnly and said: "Child, talent is not a particularly important thing, in fact, there are liberal arts, management, and computing outside, although they can't be compared with the Academy of Ability, but they are also an important part of this society, isn't it, children." ”
"Grandpa, if you want to say that, I won't screw it with you." Li Xiaobai was silent for two seconds and said.
"Xiaohui, protect your brother on the road." Grandpa patted Li Xiaobai's shoulder and said.
"Old man, it's heart-piercing!" Li Xiaobai took the name "How to Respect the Old and Love the Young" and read it silently.
"Let's go, let's start your wonderful life." Grandpa waved his hand, and his lonely back slowly walked towards the house.
"Brother, let's go." Chu Xiaohui tugged on Li Xiaobai's sleeve and said.
"Come, Xiaohui will come with me and make a big salute." Li Xiaobai took back the book, stood up straight, and then knelt down slowly, Chu Xiaohui saw this, and knelt down, the two of them silently kowtowed to the lonely back, and the soft shimmer shone lightly in the courtyard, only to see the old man on crutches trembling slightly with his rickety body, and slowly walked into the dilapidated house.
On the way to the town again, Chu Xiaohui took the silent Li Xiaobai and asked, "Isn't it too sensational, brother?" ”
"That's what the book teaches, is there anything wrong with it? The old man should have turned around and hugged me and cried, right? Why don't you play according to the routine? Li Xiaobai flipped through "How to Respect the Old and Love the Young" and silently watched it again.
"Brother, look ahead, it's Sister Ye Ning, Sister Ning Ning!" Chu Xiaohui shouted happily when she saw her acquaintance.
"Huh! Sister Xiaohui. The cold voice was particularly pleasant, and I saw a beautiful girl in a white dress looking back.
"Li Xiaobai?" Ye Ning glanced at Li Xiaobai in surprise.
"In my field of knowledge, there seems to be a lack of a way to greet a beautiful young lady, so I can study and study." Li Xiaobai thought for a few seconds and recalled, and then silently took out a copy of "How to Hook Up Correctly, the Fiery Heart of a Cold Girl".
Chu Xiaohui: "??? ”
Ye Ning: "!! ”
"Your brother, it doesn't seem to be the same as what you said." Ye Ning was stunned for a moment and said.
"Ahem, my brother has been a little different lately, it's okay, don't worry about him. Did Sister Ye Ning also go to the test? Chu Xiaohui asked.
"Well, I'm more curious about my talent, and I want to be a capable person." Ye Ning's dark eyes glanced at Li Xiaobai, who was reading carefully.
Then along the way, the two young and beautiful girls chatted happily, completely forgetting the existence of Li Xiaobai next to them.
"Boom! Congratulations to the host, read 66 books. Turn on permission mode, scratch mode. The pleasant sound of the system echoed in Li Xiaobai's ears.
"Scratch? Hurry up and turn it on. Li Xiaobai was stunned for a moment and said.
System: "Okay, according to the system analysis, the host can only redeem 3 scratch cards, good luck." ”
After the system finished speaking, Li Xiaobai had three more pieces of red paper in his hand, which were printed with "Please scratch here, good luck." ".
"Scrape it and see what's good." Li Xiaobai said excitedly.
"Thank you for participating, welcome next time, come on."
Li Xiaobai looked at the three scratch cards in his hand with a dark face and said, "System, system, what does this mean?" ”
System: "That's what it means literally." ”
Li Xiaobai: "Then how did I redeem it?" ”
System: "Read the book." 20 copies per sheet. ”
"How do you redeem a book?" Li Xiaobai wondered.
System: "Oh, which book do you remember in your recollections?" ”
Li Xiaobai: "I'm special." The brain is hollowed out. Isn't there any other permission? ”
System: "Yes, tasks will be issued from time to time, and the host will continue to work hard and come on." ”
Li Xiaobai wanted to cry without tears and took out a book of "How not to forget", at this time Li Xiaobai didn't want to deal with anyone, he just wanted to swim in the ocean of knowledge.
Just when Li Xiaobai was about to take out the second book, he saw the towering iron city wall in the distance, and looked up with a sense of coldness, which made people breathless and depressed.
There isn't much architecture when you enter the town, and most of the houses are just made of wood and the walls are out of place.
The two girls who were still chatting also stopped talking at this time and walked slowly towards the place where the talent test was held.
After passing through a few streets, Li Xiaobai and the three of them came to the square where the talent test was conducted, the crowded crowd was completely different from the cold street next to it, with lively shops and vendors, juggling, and from time to time there would be boys and girls laughing loudly.
The young boys and girls on the side of the road came from a whispered conversation: "Most of them have failed today, they have all gone to the exams of the disciplines next to them, and a silver talent came out of our village today, and he is stable this time in the Academy of Abilities." ”
"This pretty boy, silver is very talented, right?"
"That's not it, the bronze talent of one in ten thousand, the silver talent is equivalent to one in one hundred thousand, you say it can't be strong. Hey, who are you? Go, go, whoever knows you, don't ask around. ”
"Excuse me, pretty boy." Li Xiaobai said with a smile.
"You have a vision." Pretty boy is very happy.
"Sure enough, if you want to pull people into relationships, you need false appreciation." Li Xiaobai happily took out "The Vanity Life of a Beautiful Boy" and watched it.
"It seems that it's really hard to have talent, I don't know if I can get by, brother." Chu Xiaohui said worriedly.
"Don't be discouraged, don't despair, you're not useless as you say." Li Xiaobai affirmed.
Chu Xiaohui: "Brother, thank you!" ”
Li Xiaobai: "It's okay, at least your judgment is correct." ”
Ye Ning: "!! ”
"Yikes! Ignore you. Chu Xiaohui stomped her foot angrily.
"Your brother is a little different from other boys." Ye Ning was silent for a moment and affirmed.
"Well, in a few years, I will find that I will never meet me like this again in this life, cherish it." Li Xiaobai took out "How a Straight Man of Steel Practiced" and looked at it.
"Sister Ning Ning, ignore him. Let's go to the test together, and let's go to the queue together. Chu Xiaohui pulled the stunned Ye Ning and said.
"The power of knowledge is infinite, I love to read, take a good bath." Li Xiaobai hummed quietly.
With the long queue, occasionally the crowd will exclaim loudly, and there will be sighs of loss, at this time the change of human nature, moody.
"Golden Legend!" All I could hear was the exclamation of the anthropomorphic vocals coming from the test instrument.
"Wow, who's this kid?"
"Hurry up and report to your superiors!"
"It's going to be awesome!"
"Holy, Golden Legend."
"The reincarnation of the god Ou!"
"One in a million!"
"I'm going to marry him!"
I only saw that the young man standing in front of the test instrument did not have the slightest excited look, calm and calm, waiting for the personnel who ran to report.
"Young man, I am the Vice President of Academy 66, and I sincerely invite you to join our Academy." The slightly chubby rich headmaster said with a smile on his face.
"Dead fatty, I don't see you so fast when I usually pay money, and I recruit people faster than anyone else, young man, I am the vice president of No. 40 Academy, and I sincerely invite you to join our academy." The thin Vice Principal No. 40 also said with a smile on his face.
"Young man, I'm Vice Principal No. 80, and our lives will be in danger here, but we are all geniuses here, and you will see a different world." Vice Principal No. 80, covered in scars, looked at the young man in front of him kindly.
"Yo, what age is it, and you still use the radical method, young man, we are the 20th Academy, and I won't admit you because you are not handsome enough." A woman in a gorgeous cheongsam strolled out, still holding a long golden cigarette stick in her hand and said.
"Why isn't there a No. 1 Academy?" The young man asked.
