After a week-long unified examination, Ding Xiu finally finished all the tests, and his results were very good, although he was not among the top among the freshmen, but he was also among the top.

Ding Xiu told Chen Jianing the good news, and couldn't wait to share his joy with Gu Beimo and others, so as soon as the unified examination ended, he came out of the academy and went to the flower shop outside.

"Ding Xiu!" Song Xijun, who was busy in the flower shop, saw the figure walking in the door, his eyes were red, but a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Sorry for you, Xiaoyou." Ding Xiu smiled and waved at her, and then saw Shen You running out of it with the cat in his arms, and greeted the two.

"Where's Lao Gu?"

"Lao Gu went to do something." Shen You put the orange cat down, "This is 'Zhaocai', we came here on the day the store reopened, and we kept it." ”

"It's good to have a cat, have you heard that cats can attract wealth, so you give it this name." Ding Xiu looked at the orange cat's round body and was very cute.

"Hehe, you guessed it." Shen You nodded.

"What is Lao Gu going to do?" Since what happened last time, Ding Xiu was particularly worried about the safety of a few companions here, and he asked Shen You.

"We have recently started the business of private detectives, which is not always good for survival, and now we are running this business."

"I see." Ding Xiu listened to Shen You's explanation and breathed a sigh of relief. He was still a little uneasy, and asked again, "It's not dangerous to take the job, right?" ”

"He's helping a licking dog investigate a money worshipper." Shen You had sympathized with Tian Duoge before, but now he already had some complaints about him in his heart.

"What licking dogs? And Who is the money worshipper? Ding Xiu was a little curious, and generally everyone would gossip about such stories.

"That's right. There is a gentleman surnamed Tian who bought flowers from us before to give to his sweetheart, but his sweetheart didn't care about him at all, and even trampled on Mr. Tian's feelings for him at will. Lao Gu thought that the store would have to carry out intelligence business sooner or later, so he started with the private detective first, and took the initiative to help investigate the woman. Song Xijun helped Shen You explain.

"Haha, that's kind of interesting." Listening to the reason, Ding Xiu couldn't help but wonder, "True feelings should be sincere and equal." There is no distinction between high and low in the relationship, and there is no need to grovel. ”

"Yes, yes." Song Xijun listened to Ding Xiu's words, and she agreed very much, and she asked again: "You haven't been in love, how can you have such a deep understanding?" ”

"Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you ever seen a pig run?" Ding Xiu used a joke in place of answering.

"By the way, I came to you to tell you that I passed the unified examination, and I ranked 38th among the 126 freshmen this time, and I finally didn't embarrass Jia Ning and her grandfather." Ding Xiu said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Ding Xiu." Both girls were happy for him.

"What about the two brothers and sisters of the Meng family? They should also be freshmen, right? Song Xijun thought of the pair of brothers and sisters who only had a few faces, and asked unintentionally.

"Their ability is much stronger than mine, and their performance is also very stable this time, Huaiyu is the 4th among the freshmen, and Zhixi is 13th. Oh, by the way, if Zhixi looks at the ranking among the girls, then she will be ranked first. ”

"Wow, I didn't expect them to be so powerful!" Song Xijun and Shen You exclaimed.

Song Xijun was originally from a big family, and she knew very well the difficulty of entering the Brilliant Academy, let alone getting such good grades in the academy. So in addition to being surprised, I was in awe: "I admire them so much." ”

"Me too, they're what I'm learning and catching up with." Ding Xiu nodded.

"Business in the store is also very good during this time, so let's celebrate together." Song Xijun proposed.

"Then it's still 'western', how about it?" Ding Xiu has a special affection for that store now.

"Ahhhh Shen You seemed to smell the aroma of meat, and swallowed his saliva.

"Then it's decided, when Lao Gu comes back, I'll talk to him." Song Xijun made up her mind.

"Okay, then I'll go back to the academy first, you pay more attention to safety, and contact me as soon as you have something." Ding Xiu saw that he couldn't help much here, so he prepared to go back, and before leaving, he told the two girls again.

Back at school, just liberated from the process of the unified examination, Ding Xiu was not as busy as before, he wandered around the academy for a while, and then called Chen Jianing again.

Ding Xiu called her before going to the flower shop, and the girl was busy with something at that time, so the two didn't have time to talk more.

"Jia Ning, are you done with it over there?"

"Not yet, it will take a while for things on my side." The girl replied on the other end of the phone.

"Then you get busy first, I'll go to the academy and wait for you to finish." Ding Xiu thought about it and wasn't going to disturb her.

"You're okay now, aren't you? In that case, you come to the Brilliant Simulation Training Hall. ”

"Brilliant Simulation Training Hall?"

"Yes, come on, I'll wait for you." The girl continued: "We are right here to choose someone. ”

"Pick someone?" Ding Xian was puzzled, Chen Jianing on the other end of the phone seemed to have been called away, so he had to hang up the phone in a hurry.

"Check it out." Anyway, being idle is idle, Ding Xiu thought like this, so he went straight to the brilliant simulation training hall without saying a word.

The Brilliant Academy's Simulated Combat Training Hall is a very large building, and its appearance is very high-tech, and from a distance, it looks like a huge flying saucer.

The venue takes on different forms at different angles and at different times, and during the day it is like a "shuttle in time and space"; At night, it looks like a dreamy "floating city". The venue is centrally laid out with the teaching building on the northwest side as the background view, and the unique shape can be perfectly integrated into the surrounding green space, making it one of the most famous landmark buildings in the college in the early days of its construction.

There are two battle halls in the simulation training hall, each of which can accommodate thousands of spectators, and the stadium also integrates cinema, concert hall and other facilities, which is very in line with the modern concept as a cultural and entertainment gathering area.

Ding Xiu quickly arrived at the venue, and there was an on-campus bus directly to the academy. He swiped his student card into the hall, and soon saw Chen Jianing waiting for him at the door of one of the halls.

"Ding Xiu, this way." The girl was waving at him.

Ding Xiu ran towards her and asked, "Is there any activity here today?" ”

"You come with me." Chen Jianing walked inside with him, and explained to him: "Today, our science and technology branch is here to select people, specifically to prepare for the brilliant simulation battle competition in half a month. ”

"Ah, are we in the Courtyard? Why haven't I heard anything at all? Ding Xiu was stunned, if Chen Jianing hadn't told her about this just now, he really wouldn't have known that there was such a thing.

"You are a freshman who will enter this year, and the freshmen have to prepare for the unified examination, and generally the branches will not consider the freshmen when selecting candidates for the mock competition." Chen Jianing led Ding Xiu to one of the halls in the venue, Haina Hall, where many spectators had already been seated.

Ding Xiu recognized some of the faces in the audience, most of them were seniors and seniors in the science and technology branch.

"So many people who signed up?" Ding Xiu was a little surprised.

"They are not all applicants, some are friends or 'family members', and more of them come to watch the selection process, after all, the brilliant simulation battle is one of the compulsory main courses for all students, and the people who can be selected for the branch team are the best among them, and they can learn a lot from watching the competition."

"I see." Ding Xiu nodded, "You called me here because you want me to watch and learn more, right?" ”

"I think it's good for you to come and see." Chen Jianing said.

"Can I sign up?" Ding Xiu had a whim, and as soon as he spoke, Chen Jianing was startled.

"What?! Do you want to sign up? The girl thought for a while and hesitated: "In terms of the selection of candidates in the simulated battle, although there is no explicit provision that new students are not allowed to sign up, in fact, it is indeed difficult to have the best candidate among the new students. ”

"So you can try it?" Ding Xiu ended the unified examination anyway, and being idle is also idle, and it is always not a bad thing to participate in and get in touch with new things.

"You can try it if you want." Chen Jianing saw that he was very interested, so he didn't want to break his confidence: "The focus is on participation." ”

"You're right, it's all about participation." Seeing that Chen Jianing agreed, Ding Xiu nodded happily.

"There is only one place for the selection of people in this branch, but there are more than 100 applicants, and the competition pressure is very high." Chen Jianing said to him: "In fact, the team lineup of our science and technology branch was originally very stable, and it was the original team that won the championship in last year's simulation competition, but the team members in the auxiliary position have had some problems at home recently, and he has basically decided to miss this year's game, so we need to find a new player for this position." ”

"Isn't there a substitute for our Sorting Team in the support position?" Ding Xiu asked.

"Of course there is, but he didn't have many opportunities to play last year, and if he can't find a more suitable candidate this year, he will take the main position." Chen Jianing sighed when she said this: "Alas, it's a pity that such a stable lineup suddenly lacks one person." This year, the lineups of the other three divisions have been strengthened, and it seems that the chances of winning the championship are relatively slim. ”

Ding Xiu looked at the girl's disappointed eyes and felt a little distressed, he wanted to share the girl's worries.

"Let me try, Jia Ning. Although I am not very strong, I have been lucky. Ding Xiu said deliberately happily.

"Well, if you want to try, you can go to the front and sign up now, but you don't have to worry too much about winning or losing, because you will definitely be stronger in the future than you are now." Chen Jianing said and smiled at him encouragingly.

"By the way, Jia Ning, I remember that in the team of the brilliant simulation battle, the support is partnered with the ADC, who is the ADC (shooter) of our branch team?"

"Me."
