As we all know, there are generally many clubs in universities in China, such as computer repair club, pulley club, fitness club, aerobics club, e-sports club, Hanfu club, spare tire club and so on...... Most of them are organized according to different hobbies to help students find like-minded partners with the same hobbies, so that they can have a good hobby in addition to studying.

The same is true of the universities of Europa and Millican, although they have a lot of coursework, they still have clubs on campus, but the content related to the clubs is more extensive, in addition to personal hobbies, there are other clubs, such as the club engaged in the study of a problem, such as the solid-fuel rocket research society; For example, associations that advocate certain charitable projects, such as gay and lesbian affirmative care clubs; For example, some temporary clubs were formed for a period of time, and after completing the purpose of their original formation, they were automatically disbanded, such as some flash mob enthusiast clubs.

Moreover, unlike the universities in China, there is another existence that is above all the clubs in the top universities of Omi, and that is the secret society.

Generally, a top university has only one secret society, they often have a long history, some even from the beginning of the school, they have been in the school for a hundred years, or open, or hidden, in a long time, become one of the most important organizations of the school, its authority often overrides the student council of each school, and even outside the school, still exert their huge influence.

The most famous of these associations is the Skull and Bones Club of Millican University, which selects a group of reservists from among the third-year college students in April and May each spring, and finally admits 15 of them.

The selection of these reservists is very strict, such as only recruiting the children of wealthy nobles, and it is best to have noble bloodlines; For example, you must have excellent grades, and the best middle school is also an aristocratic private high school; Must love sports, have their own specialty, preferably in the military...... Then a purely meritocratic selection is carried out, and the final official members are generally the best of the students in the school.

Of course, there is a reason why the standards are so strict, because only in this way can elite members who are well-born, have excellent ability, and have a strong will, after entering the society in the future, have a greater possibility of success and help other members.

After all, helping each other is actually about class and level. Just like a tycoon, in most cases, he won't need the help of a programmer who works part-time, but he will not refuse to make a future top barrister friend.

Of course, other schools also have such associations, such as the Poslen Club of Harmo University, when the founder of the indispensable founder, Xiao Za, applied to join the brother's club when he was in school, but in the first round of screening, he was undoubtedly brushed off.

The Apostolic Society of Knife Bridge University is also a secret society of this level, and it is the most influential student association among all universities in England, and it is more influential than the Brington Club of Mazin University.

Founded in 1820 by 12 elite students from the three strongest colleges of Knife Bridge University, King's College, Trinity College, and St. John's College, the Knife Bridge Apostle Society has been almost 200 years in a row, and their recruitment standards are equally strict, and only 12 new members are recruited every year.

There is no doubt that once a student of Daoqiao University joins the Apostolic Society and becomes an Apostle of Daoqiao, then after he graduates, he will be like a fish in water in the upper class society of England and even the entire Europa countries, and it will be easy to find a job, and if he encounters any difficulties that he cannot solve, he can also find his companions or seniors in the society at any time, and even ask for help from the family forces behind them and get their help.

Of course, as the first heir to the British BT telecommunications company, Alex, who received an elite aristocratic education since childhood, is of course a member of the Knife Bridge Apostle Society.

With four of his men, Alex came to the secret base of the Apostolic Society, located behind the school's Trinity College.

Delivering the folder to the door, the four men quickly retreated. They also have a prominent family, and their abilities are also top in the school, but after all, they are juniors, and they are now in the review and inspection period, and they are not yet full members of the association, so they are only responsible for giving help to the official members, and they are not qualified to enter the secret base to participate in the activities of the society.

"Alright, you guys wait for me outside." With that, Alex walked into the base.

It's the middle of winter, and of course it's cold outside, so it's not suitable for waiting for people, but it's in the audit inspection period now, isn't it? So all four of them nodded yes.

This secret base looks like a small church, but inside it is a cave.

It was rows of ceiling-high bookshelves, large tomes with obscure titles that had almost all the gaps, and wooden ladders with pulleys between the shelves for readers to access and put books.

Surrounded by all the bookshelves, in the middle of the room, there was a long oak table carved with magnificent Chinese, and beside it were twelve chairs of equally luxurious beauty.

Now, eight of the twelve chairs were occupied, four were empty, and Alex stepped forward and sat down in his own seat.

There were not only nine of them in the room, but more than a dozen of them were seated, some leaning on the shelves, some sitting on the stacks of books, some simply sitting on the carpet, looking at the table in between, and the twelve apostles who had seats at the table.

Since 12 third-year college students are enrolled in a year, generally speaking, there are 36 members of the Daoqiao Apostolic Society, but only the 12 members who have contributed the most to the association and have the highest status will receive the title of Apostle and have a seat, and the others can only choose their favorite posture next to them.

It is important to note that all the people in the room, with or without seats, are all young white men.

No dark skin, no yellow skin, no red skin, no women, no Jews, no Greens...... It's all the purest, the one you know at a glance, the white young in the true sense of the word, the white elite.

"How's the translation going?" Alex had just taken his seat when one of the people sitting across from him asked a straight question.

"The previous 9 regular maps have been translated, and today I brought the strategy of numbering 1 to 40, a total of forty chapters of rare maps." Alex explained: "As you know, the strategy of rare maps is very fragmented and fragmented, even if there are those Chinese people to help us search, summarize, organize, and translate, it will take a while, and the strategy of the next 60 rare maps will probably take about two weeks." ”

"Oh, that's it......" The man on the other side dragged out his voice: "Actually, you don't have to go by yourself every time, just send someone to take this kind of thing." ”

"Hey, after all, it's for people to work for nothing, and the posture they should have has to be put on." Alex shrugged: "Just take a walk after drinking afternoon tea to digest and digest." ”

After a cursory explanation, Alex's voice changed: "By the way, what did the boss say?" Are we going to join or not? Don't let me be busy for most of the day, and finally quit. ”

"Joining is definitely going to join." The seat at the head of the long table was empty, and a white young man next to him explained: "After all, Mazin's gang has joined, and we have to be responsible to the seniors in the past, and we can't let Mazin's people take this opportunity to catch up." The key is in terms of investment and project location, and we still have some differences with the boss. ”

"What disagreement?" Alex asked directly.

"The boss means to specialize in one thing, give up the 5-person team competition, and specialize in the single competition, after all, the prize money for the two is the same." After a pause, the man then explained: "And what Mark Weiss and I mean is that it is best to participate in both projects, although the investment is larger, but it is safer, after all, Mazin participates in both projects." ”

"That's right...... In terms of money, I can raise a little bit, how much worse? Alex suggested.

"That's right, the boss decided that he would raise money to participate in the singles tournament alone, and we would take care of the logistics for him, such as providing strategies, analyzing opponents, etc., if the team competition had to be participated, then we would raise funds and form a team by ourselves." The man explained.

"The boss raised it himself? How much to raise? Alex's eyes widened.

"What the boss means is that if you want to win the championship of the single competition, you must at least raise your superpowers to the sixth level, which is what the Chinese people call the [Xuan] level!" The man elaborated: "Recently, the price of the Heart of the World has risen a bit, and it is approaching 460 pounds a piece, which means that the boss has to raise 50 million pounds on his own. ”

"Oh, that's fine...... Alex breathed a sigh of relief: "If you win £50 million, you still have to make ...... if you win the championship"

But he sighed with emotion, he looked stunned, and then asked: "No, I remember that the boss's superpower seems to be [sound wave], even if he is promoted to a high level and has the ability to control ultrasonic waves or infrasound, the limitations are also very great, for example, there are a few in the special map that are space battles, and in a vacuum environment, no matter how strong the sound wave ability is, it is useless......

"You don't have to worry about that." Another person smiled: "The boss's superpower is not like ours, it is only the first order at the moment, and it only takes 5 world hearts to change an ability, the boss has changed more than seven hundred times, and the superpower he has now is very powerful and very comprehensive, enough to deal with any situation!" ”

"What about a five-player team battle? What is the charter? Alex continued to ask.

"If we participate, then we need to raise our own money, due to the current news, the single competition and the team competition are held at the same time, and if you participate in the single competition, you can't participate in the team competition, and vice versa, so we can't rely on the boss in the team competition, we can only pile up five people to participate." The person next to the head said: "For the time being, we want to pile up five fifth-order superpowers, but I don't think it's very safe." ”

"It's really not safe!" Alex nodded in agreement: "As far as I know, there are a lot of rich people in Mazin's gang, if they pile up a sixth order in the team battle, we will be passive!" There are also those Mi Guoyan, there are many people who are not bad for money, but they only rely on five fifth-order, which is really not safe. ”

"However, if you still have to pile up a sixth order, even if you win in the end, you won't be able to make any money......" The person on the other side expressed his opinion.

"Don't think about making money with everything, it's completely acceptable to lose some and ensure our status. Fame is also part of the interests, and the gold content of the fame owned by the champion is also not less than 100 million meters of gold! Alex persuaded him, and then asked rhetorically: "I can raise 30 million pounds, what about you?" ”

"Then pile up a sixth!" Another person said decisively: "I can get 25 million pounds!" ”

"I've been ......a little short of money recently," someone looked embarrassed: "If you give me some time, I can almost raise 15 million." ”

"Senior, I can also come up with 15 million! It'll be available next week! It was a man at the bookshelf who spoke.

"I don't think money is the problem, the key is those five candidates, who will be on it?" Someone expressed his opinion: "I think it's still like the boss, choose people with low superpower ranks, brush five with a high degree of matching, and be suitable for superpowers with strong usability." ”

……

The meeting didn't end until dark, and Alex walked out of the humble chapel.

Snowflakes were falling outside, and the temperature was a little cooler due to the nightfall.

The four reservists were still rubbing their hands together in the corridor next to the door, spitting and waiting, and when they saw Alex coming out, they immediately tidied up their clothes, patted off the snow on their bodies and greeted them.

"You've worked hard." Alex smiled at them, then said, "Let's go, let's go to dinner." ”

Walking forward in the not thick snow, one of the four big white men couldn't help but speak: "Senior Alex, I have a question......

"What's the problem?" Alex stopped and turned his head: "It's okay, just ask." ”

"Are you really going to recommend that Huaguo kid when you recruit new people next year? I don't think he deserves to be in our Apostolic Society......" Although he hesitated, he still clearly expressed his doubts about leaving.

"Hahaha~" Alex laughed a few times, as if he had heard some very funny joke.

Then he smiled and asked rhetorically, "James, tell me, in the past two hundred years, has any yellow-skinned person succeeded in joining the Apostolic Society?" ”

Without recalling or thinking, the big man James said directly: "As far as I know, there should be none." ”

"That's right!" Alex spread his hands, and his voice was categorical: "Since there are no in the past two hundred years, then the next two hundred years ...... Nor will it be! ”
