Volume 1: A World Made Out of Nothing (XXXVII) The Road Encounters a Tiger
Today, the streets of the provincial capital are crowded with people, and there is a lot of traffic everywhere. However, what is surprising is that the central avenue has already been the first to be cleaned.
The streets leading to the test centers have already been attended by many security personnel who have begun to maintain order in advance.
As long as it is a candidate, it will be escorted all the way to the designated test center by these test escorts as soon as possible.
This scene reminded Yu Tianlu of the scene of taking the college entrance examination that year.
Those confused worms who forgot to bring their admission tickets were often sent to the test center by the police uncle all the way.
"I didn't expect that after changing time and space, this exam is still taken very seriously!" Yu Tianlu couldn't help but sigh.
"How can there be so many people?" Looking at the crowds on both sides of the road, Yan Yue couldn't help but mutter, "I don't see so many people in Duyang Town, even when it's a temple fair!" ”
"Remember that this is a provincial capital, not Dusun Town!" Shopkeeper Feng, who was in charge of the nursing examination, said.
The shopkeeper Feng, who was entrusted by Ma Zhenbei, was very conscientious, and on the day of today's exam, he took the initiative to unload the work in the inn and take the two little ones to take the exam. This looks very much like a parent with a child rushing to take the exam.
"We're just taking an exam, so we don't need to be so grand, right?" Yan Yue asked as he walked.
"Young Master Yue, you have to know that this is the entrance exam of the Royal Academy! What is this Royal Academy? This is one of the highest universities in the entire Huaxu country! Every graduate who comes out of here is an outstanding talent! Shopkeeper Feng explained, "And this royal academy is regarded as the base of Huaxu Guo's elephant chemists, and there are countless elephant chemists who come out of here every year. ”
"I've heard about it too!" Yu Tianlu echoed, "Many of these graduates have been hired by the Huaxu government or the big families. As long as you graduate from this academy, it is almost equivalent to getting ahead. ”
While speaking, Yu Tianlu and the others had already arrived at the test center they were taking - a huge stadium.
At this moment, the candidates have surrounded this stadium.
"Why are there so many people in the examination room!" Yan Yue looked dumbfounded.
"There's no way, this test center is an ordinary test room, and it's also the place with the largest number of candidates." Shopkeeper Feng said.
"Ordinary examination room? Are there any special examination rooms? Yu Tianlu asked.
"Of course there is." Shopkeeper Feng explained, "How could the entrance exams of those big families and members of the royal family be put together with us ordinary people? They all have their own examination rooms, and they are all placed in the most prominent location in the city center. You don't have to rush like us! ”
You must know that the inn where Yu Tianlu and Yan Yue live is more than ten kilometers away from the test center.
In order to be able to catch the exam on time, they came out almost before dawn.
Who knew that when I arrived at the test center, I saw that several doors had already been surrounded by water.
"Do you even have to score three, six, nine and so on in the exam?" Yu Tianlu's face sank. You must know that this seven-year-old child hates injustice the most.
"Actually, you can't blame those who engage in privilege." Shopkeeper Feng sighed, "The Royal Academy recruits people who have the potential to be an elephant chemist. It is good to be able to set up a general test center so that ordinary people have the opportunity to enroll. Don't ask for anything more. ”
"Got it! Let's adjust our mindset for the exam! Yu Tianlu nodded.
Yu Tianlu, who had seen the wind and waves in his previous life, was also very able to understand the differences in class.
"But Xiaolu, how are we going to get in? It's only half an hour before the exam starts! Yan Yue looked at the big clock on the stadium and said anxiously.
At this moment, a discordant voice sounded at the front of the line.
"You guys don't want to go over today! The eldest young master of our 'Wu Lian Gang' took the exam today, so don't make trouble for me like you competitors." ”
"Looks like there's a disturbance!" Yu Tianlu glanced at Yan Yue, "Ah Yue, let's go over and see who is in our way." ”
So with the help of the strong Yan Yue, the three of them pushed through the crowd and finally came to the entrance of the entrance of the examination room.
I saw a group of men dressed in strong suits, forming a human wall at the door, preventing those candidates from entering.
"How can this be? My child had a hard time getting the letter of recommendation! ”
"The 'Wu Lian Gang' can't be so domineering!"
Those parents were also red-eyed and protested loudly at the "Wu Lian Gang".
"We're not overbearing!" At this time, a person walked out of the team of the "Wu Lian Gang", holding a pu fan and saying slowly, "This entrance was bought by our 'Wu Lian Gang' with a lot of money. Only those who have given us a hundred gold coins will be allowed to pass. Otherwise, please enter through the other entrance. ”
"Who is this man?" Yu Tianlu asked the shopkeeper Feng beside him, "And what does this 'Wu Lian Gang' do?" ”
"Young Master Yu, this 'Wu Lian Gang' is a tyrant in this provincial city. Originally, it was to undertake the transportation business of major chambers of commerce. At first, it was just a small gang, but after more than ten years of hard work, it has become a leader in the transportation industry. Shopkeeper Feng explained, "Now the 'Wulian Gang' wants money and money, and it has become a gang that cannot be ignored in the provincial capital." ”
"'Wu Lian Gang', 'Wu Lian Gang', how does it sound the same as 'Rogue Gang'!" Yan Yue couldn't help but say.
"Who's to say it isn't? That's what everyone calls them behind their backs. I heard that the little young master of their 'Wu Lian Gang' is also going to take the entrance exam for the Royal Academy today. I didn't expect them to do everything they could to get it through! Shopkeeper Feng sighed.
"Didn't the security guards who kept the exam room order?" Yu Tianlu said curiously.
"Young Master Yu, the person who spoke just now is called Wu Qingyi, and he is the chief housekeeper of the Wu Lian Gang. It seems that the security guards at this entrance have been bought off by them. I can't get into the exam room from here today! ”
"You can still operate like this, so won't the Royal Academy come to charge?"
"Tube? Ordinary examination rooms, the Royal Academy will not pay attention to it at all. A parent on the side said indignantly, "The enrollment in the ordinary examination room every year is just a formality." They are all concerned about the pride of the sky in the special examination room, and we ordinary people are too lazy to care. ”
"That's right, this 'Wu Lian Gang' can't get on the stage, and there is no way to squeeze into the special examination room. It's really annoying to take such a measure! A parent next to him also complained.
"Then you can go to the other door. That's a lot of gold! Yu Tianlu said.
"Other entrances? In addition to the farthest exits, other places have also been bought by many gangs. Every time I take the exam, there are a lot of gangs that take this opportunity to make a windfall! One parent shook his head repeatedly, "Alright, alright, let's hurry up and take a detour!" Otherwise, it's not good to miss your child's exam! ”
After saying that, many parents were already in a hurry to leave the scene with their children, and they desperately rushed to the other entrances.
"So what do we do......
Without waiting for Yan Yue to finish speaking, he only heard the sound of gold coins colliding.
I saw that Shopkeeper Feng took out a bag of gold coins from his backpack and shook it in front of the two children.
"Don't worry, I'm prepared." Shopkeeper Feng said with a smile, "There are two hundred gold coins in here, which is enough to enter." Master Ma has instructed, let me make sure that you can take the exam smoothly. ”
Saying that, Shopkeeper Feng was about to take the two of them into the examination room, but he was unexpectedly pulled by Yu Tianlu.
"I said Young Master Yu, what are you ......" Shopkeeper Feng was a little surprised, "If you don't hurry up, you may not be able to catch the exam." ”
"Of course I have to take the exam, but it's not what I want to give these two hundred gold to this group of hungry wolves." Yu Tianlu said, "And I think this group of evil wolves blocking the way is an exam in itself." Yu Tianlu said with a smile.
"Exam, what kind of exam is this?" Yan Yue was stunned.
"This is the test of life, we can't bow our heads to the underworld like this!" Yu Tianlu looked at you Yan Yue and said, "Ah Yue, how about teaching these guys a lesson with me?" ”
"No problem, my mother said, everything is under your command."
After speaking, the two children strode towards the "Wu Lian Gang".
"Young Master Yu, Young Master Yue, ...... you Wait for me! Shopkeeper Feng was at a loss for a while, so he could only follow the two children quickly.
At this time, the "Wu Lian Gang" was busy in front of the entrance.
Those parents who are unwilling to lose their qualifications for the exam have no choice but to pay the tolls.
At this time, Yu Tianlu and Yan Yue walked in front of this group of roadblockers, as if they didn't see Wu Qingyi, they walked inside vigorously.
Seeing this, the "Wu Lianbang" immediately stopped, and there was no need for Wu Qingyi to say anything, but two minions stopped the two children.
"Which kid is this so ignorant!" A minion pointed at the two of them.
"We're here to take the exam, are you the staff at the exam room?" Yu Tianlu blinked his two big eyes, pretending not to know anything and said to the "Wu Lian Gang" minions.
"Are you two deaf?" The minion said angrily, "If you want to enter from here, you will have to pay a toll of 100 gold." Otherwise, let me go to the north passage. ”
"Tolls ......" Yu Tianlu frowned, and said in his heart, "These guys are really robbing!" Then he said, 'I opened this road, I planted this tree, and if you want to live from here, you will leave the money to buy the road.' 'That's it. ”
"Tolls have... At this time, Shopkeeper Feng rushed over and wanted to pay the toll for Yu Tianlu, "This is two hundred gold, please raise your noble hands, don't be embarrassed for these two students!" ”
"Two hundred gold? Sorry it's not the price anymore? The minion glanced at Shopkeeper Feng, "Now it's three hundred gold!" ”
"What three hundred gold?" Shopkeeper Feng gasped, "Didn't you just say it?" How can you sit on the ground and raise the price? ”
"I'll just sit on the ground and start the price!" The minion was unceremonious, "You guys are disrespectful to our 'Wulian Gang', and it's good to charge you 300 gold." It won't be that price in a while. ”
"I thought you were the staff of the examination room, and you were just a group of maniacs who bullied and dominated the market for a long time."
"Who's talking!" The minion was furious.
"It's me!" Yu Tianlu walked out slowly.
"It turned out to be you, a little ghost, it seems to be boring!" The minions were furious and swung their fists at Yu Tianlu.
As soon as he punched out, he was grabbed by a powerful hand.
How could Yan Yue let his brother be beaten, he quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed the other party's wrist directly, and then squeezed it gently, which immediately made this unspeakably thick minion who didn't know the height of the sky.
"Pain, pain, pain!" The minions let out a scream.
As soon as Yan Yue raised his hand, he lifted this fox fake tiger guy up.
"You dare to touch Xiaolu, this is your end!" Yan Yue said, like throwing garbage, and threw it out casually.
The minion rolled on the ground like a rolling gourd several times before stopping.
