"Xiaoyou said with a smile, why didn't I take you to the academy and bring you to Yanyang City? When I came out, the head of the academy told me to take you to the spiritual examination. This is not the first time to go to the academy. Qi Qingrui said with a smile, as if he was not lying.

"Oh, that's right." Chen Chen scratched his cheek, "Spirit? Verify my endowment? Didn't the head of the house believe my teacher's words? ”

Qi Qingrui leaned his face over mysteriously, raised his hand to block the other half of his face, and whispered: "It's not that the head of the academy doesn't believe it, it's mainly that the 'natural' spiritual endowment is too rare, and the matter is big, so I still need to verify it a little more to be safe." Chen Chen nodded, and he realized that the student that the academy wanted to recruit was not him, but a 'person whose spiritual endowment is natural'. Hawkers, what they did is understandable, after all, who can look down on a poor boy with no money and no power.

The carriage soon arrived at its destination, a building located on a busy street. Although it is located in a busy street, the strange thing is that every passerby just glances inside with curiosity on their faces, and then leaves in a hurry. If you are unlucky enough to make eye contact with the person inside, passers-by will definitely bow their heads in shame and walk away quickly. These things were all seen by Chen Chen, and many questions couldn't help but arise in his heart.

Stepping on the steps in front, you will be greeted by huge pillars on both sides, and exquisite colorful paintings are painted on the delicate dougongs. Behind it are two large doors that open, also hollowed out and carved with many patterns. It's not as big as the city gate, but it's beautiful. Looking inside, the most eye-catching thing is the huge instrument in the middle. It was a pedestal with intricate inscriptions and a round sphere that almost filled the entire room. In front of the instrument stood two men in crimson tunics, who looked like the maintenance managers of the instrument; On one side of the open space in front of the instrument stood a number of people, all dressed in robes, who looked like they were engaged in learning.

Qi Qingrui took Chen Chen to the other side of the crowd and gave a rough introduction to the composition of the personnel, and as expected, they were all from the academy. Chen Chen saluted them and said, "I've met the head of the academy, the vice dean." When he lowered his head, a subtle voice of discussion came from the crowd opposite, "Hahaha, you started praising me, haven't you ever seen such a polite person, haven't you ever seen such a cultured person?" Praise it, keep it up, I can stand it. "What if you ask, if you're not praising me? I don't care, if I don't hear it, it's just praising me.

The man in charge nodded and said, "Let's get started." Qi Qingrui agreed, and walked away with Chenchen. While walking Chenchen, he asked in a low voice: "It's to test the spirit, right, where is the Enlightenment Soul Analysis Instrument?" Qi Qingrui also replied to him in a low voice: "Do you see the huge instrument in the middle, the one called 'Wantong Summoning Spiritual Machine', which can more accurately measure the types of people's spiritual endowments...... Heck, you'll find out if you try it. (Just listen to these names, they shouldn't appear again in the future)

The two people in the red corsetes, Chen Chen called them "red people". The two "red men" came to the back of the machine with Chenchen, and one of them said expressionlessly: "Next, just put your hand in the tube." This made Chen Chen a little suspicious, not that he had doubts about this instrument, these two people had been expressionless since he came in, was the salary owed for a few days and not paid, or did he not have enough lunch at noon so he was not motivated? But this is not the time to think about this, Chen Chen put his hand into the machine, and just wanted to discuss the answers to these questions, a huge roar that belonged to the machine sounded, and the whole building was surrounded by this loud noise.

"Boom ......"

"Ah——————h

The pain struck, a huge tingling sensation along his arm to the top of his head, and his hands lost sensation all at once, which made him cry out at once—but all this was just his imagination, there was no pain, no numbness, he tried to move his arm, and found that there was nothing abnormal. Hi, it turned out to be scaring yourself. Fortunately, the machine was loud enough that no one else heard his humiliating screams. But the "red man" on the side saw the movement of his hand and shouted in a voice that overshadowed the machine: "Don't move! Chenchen nodded stupidly.

As a result, the time spent on the spiritual test of this instrument was much longer than that of the Qiling Analytical Instrument, and according to Chen Chen's conservative estimate, the time to test him alone was longer than the time to test him and the small friends in the village combined. There are also "red people" guarding next to him, and there can't be too much range of movement. After a long time, my hands were not numb, but my feet were numb first. "No wonder it's eliminated." Chen Chen pursed his lips and whispered. But when will it be a head if it goes on like this, he couldn't help but raise his voice and shouted, "Is it almost okay?" One of the "red men" ran to the front of the machine to take a look, came back and shook his head. "It's coming!" Another "red man" replied. No, where do you tell he means it's fast? Chen Chen rolled his eyes.

Finally, in the endless torment of Chenchen, the roar of the machine became smaller and quieter, until it disappeared completely. In Chenchen's hopeful gaze, the "red people" nodded.

Chen Chen pulled his hand out of the machine, and this time it was like a wild crane out of the cage that was startled, and it was like a thunderclap in the clear sky that stretched for thousands of miles (in his own eyes). He raised his hand happily, and was about to slap the cage that had imprisoned him for so long, but there was a warning look next to him, and it seemed that this palm could only be slapped on his thigh.

Chen Chen followed the two "red men" out of the machine, and one of them skillfully pulled out a piece of paper from one of the machine's platforms.

“？？？？？？？？？？” What puzzled the "red man" was that after he took this one, there was another one below. He looked at the one in his hand, and then at the one under the cover, and then took it away suspiciously.

However, to his devastation, in addition to the two in his hand, there was one more at the bottom!

For this kind of thing, Chen Chen put on a familiar expression, covered his thighs and said, "The machine is broken." ”

"Impossible! This machine, this machine is the most authoritative in the country, it has been used for so many years, and it has never been missed, how can it be wrong this time?! We also maintain and inspect frequently, and it is impossible, how can this machine go wrong?! If even it goes wrong, who else can believe it......"

Ignoring the little guy who was shocked and chattering, Qi Qingrui just reached out and took the three pieces of paper in his hand, and respectfully handed them to the person in charge: "College Dean, please take a look." ”

The head of the academy didn't reach out to take it, but just smiled indifferently and said, "No need, this child's spiritual endowment is 'natural'." With a confident smile, he turned to the people at the academy and said, "Okay, it's time to go home." ”
