[202] The means of the big shots
After the vignette.
The assessment has officially begun.
Xing Peng saw that the door of the lounge opened, Director Cheng was the first to enter it, and the first group of ten mermaids rushed in, and the door was closed.
Immediately there was a "buzzing" of discussion in the hall.
A group of young people waiting for the assessment looked nervous.
After all, when we have to face a real big man in the meeting, who can be calm and normal?
Others looked concerned.
Director Cheng personally took action to capture the Avengers' wonderful performance, which made this group of rich people attach more and more importance to the position of "inspector".
With such an outstanding director, why worry about not being able to make achievements and establish a career?
This is a clear path!
Thirty seconds later.
"Squeak~"
The lounge door opened.
Ten examiners walked out one after another.
Their state looked very strange, and everyone was confused, as if they had just woken up from a big dream.
There was an immediate commotion in the hall.
Xing Peng was a little surprised: "Why is the assessment so fast?" ”
Fan Ancheng whispered: "You have already condensed the Source Sense Seal, and you have also cultivated the Nine Yuan Martial Arts, can you see what they have experienced?" ”
According to the rumors from the Winter Garden, as long as his children participate in the assessment, regardless of success or failure, they must donate at least fifty gold coins, which is by no means a small amount of money, and this rich man can't care about it.
The face of a big man is worth so much money, and if you talk to Director Cheng, the donation amount must be more, which is an unspoken rule.
Xing Peng shook his head: "What kind of person is Director Cheng, how can I instinctively see it?" ”
Fan Ancheng didn't ask again: "That's right." ”
Fang Qinghuai, the lord of the Winter Garden, shouted at the right time: "Please let the second group in." ”
The second group of examiners quickly entered the break room.
The gate was closed again.
Another thirty seconds passed.
The second group finally came out.
It's still a blank look.
This made onlookers feel more and more confused.
And then.
It was Xing Peng's turn to be in the third group.
With trepidation, he lined up to enter the lounge.
As far as the eye can see.
It wasn't the lounge scene you expected, but a rather long hallway, flanked by pots of flowers.
There was a maid standing next to her, and she made a gesture of "please" to everyone: "Everyone, as long as you pass through this corridor, it will be the assessment location." ”
A group of people walked briskly forward.
Xing Peng walked a few steps and suddenly discovered a strange thing.
The hallway seems to be getting longer and longer.
It was only more than ten meters before.
Now it looks like it is more than 100 meters, and the few pots of green plants placed at the exit have turned into a few small green dots the size of a palm.
And that's not all.
Even the competitors who were close at hand just now became quite far away at this time, and the nearest assessor was more than ten meters away.
Xing Peng suddenly had a feeling of numbness in his scalp, and his heart was filled with strong fear.
You can't bump into weirdness, right?
Director Cheng's assessment, how can it be weird?
I don't know why.
He completely forgot that it was just an assessment, and he unconsciously ignored the idea that "all this could be part of the design".
Out of the instinct of human huddles, Xing Peng looked at the figure in front of him and shouted anxiously: "Hey, friends in front, wait for me!" ”
After shouting, he strode over.
The figure in front of him was a tall, thin young man, who heard the voice behind him and turned to look.
Xing Peng shouted as he ran: "It's very wrong here, we'd better ...... together"
I'm not done.
It came to an abrupt end.
Because Xing Peng saw a terrible scene.
I saw a pot of flowers not far from the tall and thin young man, and his body swelled sharply, instantly changing from half a meter tall to more than three meters tall.
The few beautiful flowers hanging on the plant turned into an incomparably hideous mouth, and the center was covered with dense sharp teeth.
Xing Peng stopped with a shocked face, and two words popped out of his mind - weird!
OMG!
Why are there so many weird here!
"Whoosh! Sou! ”
Several vines sprang out, firmly entangled the tall and thin young man's body, and dragged him towards the giant mouth.
The tall and thin young man began to struggle desperately, and shouted for help: "Help me!" ”
This moment.
Xing Peng was caught in a battle between heaven and man.
If you save it, you may be able to save the other party, but this plant is so weird, there is a greater probability that it will be put into it with you.
If you don't save it, wouldn't you watch a big living person being eaten alive?
Ultimately.
Xing Peng chose to follow his heart.
If you don't save you when you die, it's not me!
Try to save people on the premise of being as careful as possible!
Xing Peng decisively pulled out a long knife, strode forward, and slashed out a heavy knife, cutting off a vine.
"Whoosh! Sou! ”
Two more vines whipped like whips.
Xing Peng had already taken precautions, quickly took two steps back, brandished a long knife to cut off the vines, and his left hand took advantage of the situation to slash the air, breaking a vine.
His sword skills are good, and with the nine-element martial arts, his combat power may not be too strong, but he can win in being flexible and changeable.
As many vines were cut off, the speed at which the strange plants dragged their prey slowed down considerably.
The tall and thin young man stretched out a hand and begged, "Pull me!" ”
Xing Peng swung his knife to cut off a vine, saw a good opportunity, took a step forward, grabbed the other party with his left hand, and planned to drag it out.
However.
Just before his fingertips were about to touch the tall and thin young man, he felt a "chuckle" in his heart.
Wrong!
Just now, the weird plant subdued the prey in an instant, but I casually slashed a few knives to repel the vines, and I still had a chance to reach out and pull people.
And the tall and thin young man reached out just right to ask for a pull, this person was obviously panicked to the extreme, and he could still accurately grasp the opportunity?
That's a coincidence, isn't it?!
"Bang!"
Xing Peng kicked the ground hard, and the whole person flew backwards in an instant.
It's Dengque Pose!
The next moment.
A large canopy of vines, numbering more than twenty, swept abruptly.
Unfortunately, they pounced.
Because Xing Peng fled one step ahead.
He was in mid-air, looking at this scene, and a cold sweat instantly oozed from his back.
Sure enough, it's a trap!
Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I was afraid that I would also fall into prey.
The tall and thin young man still stretched out his hand and begged bitterly: "Please save me, I don't want to be eaten away by the weird little bit, please!" ”
This person's plea for help seems to have angered the strange plant.
"Click! Click! ”
With a few muffled sounds, the limbs of the tall and thin young man were broken.
"Ah~It hurts~"
The tall, thin young man wailed.
Xing Peng couldn't bear to turn his head sideways.
A giant flower approached its prey and bit off a piece of flesh.
"Ah~"
The screams grew louder.
The tall and thin young man wept bitterly: "I don't want to die, please save me!" ”
Xing Peng sighed secretly, his right arm swelled, and he threw the long knife out with all his might.
Moving Mountain!
"Woo~"
With a light roar, the long knife swept through an arc, slicing the throat of the tall, lanky young man.
"Ho! Ho! ”
A large stream of blood foamed from the mouth of the tall and thin young man, and the divine light in his eyes quickly dissipated.
Xing Peng stood solemnly and said softly: "I'm very sorry, my ability is limited, I can't save you, I can only end your pain as soon as possible." ”
A second passed.
An indifferent voice rang out out of thin air.
"The assessment is over!"
Subsequently.
The picture suddenly freezes.
Xing Peng was stupid all of a sudden.
It was as if some shackle had been opened, and he realized a lot of irrationalities.
I knew it was an assessment, but why did I forget it all after entering the lounge?
I obviously didn't carry any weapons, but when I was dealing with weirdness just now, I suddenly found a long knife, but I didn't think it was strange at all?
Come to think of it.
Xing Peng turned his head to look at the long knife and found that the long knife had disappeared without a trace at some point.
He stood for a long time, recalling the whole process of the assessment, and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "It's amazing!" ”
As soon as you enter the door, you will unconsciously fall into the illusion and ignore all the irrationalities, this method is really awe-inspiring!
Another moment.
Xing Peng only felt a blur in front of him, and everything had changed.
The hallway is gone.
The greenery is gone.
A lavishly decorated lounge comes into view.
But Director Cheng is not one of them.
There was only one beautiful maid, looking at everyone with a smile.
The other nine examiners all had a confused look on their faces, and their eyes were also a little trance-like, obviously not completely free from the influence of the illusion.
The maid confirmed that everyone was awake, and said in a pleasant voice, "Everyone, the assessment is over, please leave the lounge." ”
Xing Peng took a deep breath and walked out of the lounge first.
Fan Ancheng immediately greeted him, directly pulled Xing Peng into the corner, and asked a little nervously, "How is the assessment result?" ”
Xing Peng froze, lowered his voice and said, "...... just now"
He briefly recounted the process of the assessment.
After listening to this, Fan Ancheng said excitedly: "You must have passed the assessment!" ”
Xing Peng himself thought so, and nodded lightly: "It shouldn't be a big problem." ”
Fan Ancheng's face was full of admiration: "First examine the character by saving people, and then set traps in the battle to test martial arts and eyesight."
"Just a fantasy realm, you can comprehensively assess the quality of all aspects, Director Cheng's mental means, it is really amazing!"
Xing Peng thought so: "The methods of the big man are indeed extraordinary!" ”
Fan Ancheng glanced at Xing Peng, and there was a feeling of picking up a treasure in his heart.
He thought about it for a while, and said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Xing, when you marry Xiaoqian, our Fan family will definitely marry a rich dowry." ”
Xing Peng really didn't know how to answer.
Xiaoqian and I haven't seen each other for at least two years, so it's too sudden to talk about this now.
Fan Ancheng gritted his teeth and decisively offered a sky-high price: "At least a dowry worth six hundred gold coins, including a high-end residence!" ”
Originally, the price code in the heart of this rich man was three hundred gold coins, but now that he knew the content of the assessment, he immediately doubled the price.
can pass such a difficult assessment, this can be regarded as the director of the personal check, the talent with good character and ability, it would be a pity if you missed it!
Xing Peng was a little short of breath when he heard this, but he didn't say no.
So much money, a fool refuses.
Besides, Xiaoqian is also very beautiful!
Five minutes later.
The assessment is over.
Director Cheng did not reappear.
But no one had an opinion.
Of all the attendees in the banquet hall, one counts as one, perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, but in front of Director Cheng, he is nothing.
The big man is willing to show up once, which is already very appreciative.
After a while.
Fang Qinghuai, the lord of the Winter Garden, shouted loudly: "Everyone, Director Cheng has selected fourteen outstanding young people and instructed me to inform you of the results. ”
The banquet hall immediately fell silent.
Although Xing Peng had guessed that nine out of ten of them would be selected, his heart still lifted.
Fang Qinghuai took out a note and read out the first name: "Xing Peng......"
Xing Peng's heart was about to explode with joy.
I was selected!
I was favored by Director Cheng!
Fan Ancheng suddenly burst into laughter.
The prospective son-in-law he found ranked first on the list, indicating that he performed the best!
This time you got the bet right!
Fan Ancheng patted his prospective son-in-law on the shoulder, and his tone was extremely affectionate: "Xiao Xing, you are not too young, just marry my family Xiaoqian in the next half of the year, I promise to buy a dowry of no less than eight hundred gold coins." ”
The price of the dowry has been raised again!
Xing Peng was a little surprised, and also blushed a little: "Late? Isn't that too fast? ”
Fan Ancheng shook his head again and again: "Unpleasant! Not at all fast! ”
This wealthy businessman is afraid of long nights and dreams, and he can't wait to hold a wedding tomorrow, but his heart is too slow!
Xing Peng is a principled person, and since he agreed to the conditions in advance, he has no intention of repenting.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll discuss it with my parents, and they shouldn't object." ”
Fan Ancheng looked anxious: "Okay! Then I'll go home with you and meet my future in-laws. ”
Xing Peng was a little uncomfortable by this enthusiasm, but he didn't object: "Okay. ”
Soon.
The banquet entered the second link - collecting money.
Fang Qinghuai stood in front of the crowd and talked eloquently: "Ladies and gentlemen, Director Cheng felt that many ordinary people were living in difficulty, and decided to set up a charity committee......
He barred for a while, and ended with a sentence: "Everyone is welcome to donate generously and contribute to helping the low-level civilians!" ”
Fan Ancheng was the first to raise his hand: "I donate five hundred gold coins!" ”
The eyes of a group of people around them instantly gathered.
Although it was a lot of money, Fan Ancheng smiled happily.
Originally, his budget was three hundred gold coins, but Xing Peng's performance was so good, he decisively decided to increase the money.
The first place in the selection will never have a bad future, and it is worth the price.
*
Half an hour later.
Inside the garden office.
Cheng Han learned the result of this donation - 21,400 gold coins.
A little more than expected.
And raising such a large amount of money, it can be used to do a lot of things, and it can also greatly appease the low-level civilians.
Cheng Han looked at Fang Tingyuan and ordered: "Spread the donation amount as soon as possible and vigorously promote the kindness of the donor." ”
Fang Tingyuan responded respectfully: "Understood, I'll do it right away." ”
Cheng Han grinned.
His strategy has always been linked one link after another.
This fundraising is also an opportunity to force the Council Council.
Even the people are trying to help the low-level civilians, so isn't the Council doing nothing?
If the archon was motionless, what would the Xuan Pavilion think?
