There was a sea of people around the Beidou Academy, but at this time, the silent crowd was noisy because of this sentence.

Zhang Shengde frowned, this point was completely out of plan. The question of fairness has never been a concern for practitioners. In other words, in this world of practice, the word 'fairness' has always been an ornament.

I don't want anyone to ask this question today.

But it's understandable to think about it, because Zhang Hao said that he wanted a unified test when he enrolled students before. With such an opportunity, some 'Diao Min' will naturally try their best to seek a fairer (favorable) environment for their children.

But the parents of wealthy families are not happy, and the competition is fierce, and it would be irritating to add any restrictions.

In such a situation, the crowd split into two factions almost instantaneously and began to quarrel.

Zhang Hao slowly flew up and roared: "Quiet!"

The cultivation of the Jindan period has been good, and the voice has spread mightily.

Zhang Hao spoke, and the following quickly calmed down. Then Zhang Hao looked at the person who spoke just now, and said in a somewhat cold voice: "You say, how can it be considered fair?"

"This ......" The man felt Zhang Hao's attitude, and his scalp was a little numb, but he still said strongly: "I think that a certain method should be adopted to try to eliminate the gap between children of different classes." That's how we can select real geniuses!"

"Oh...... Sounds like a good idea, but what's the solution?"

"This ...... This one...... For example, how about the point system, complete tasks of the same difficulty, ordinary families, calculate a little more. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was chaos and noise again.

"Quiet!" Zhang Hao roared angrily, "No matter how noisy it is, get out!"

Then the crowd fell silent again.

Zhang Hao looked at the man and smiled coldly, "What you said has a certain truth. But I'll just ask: Why!"

"This ...... Try to be fair. ”

"Hehe......" Zhang Hao smiled, raised his head slightly, looked around, and his voice was high-pitched and cold:

When the rain is pouring down, and you are hiding at home chatting and playing cards, the sailors of the Dayang Group are moving forward in the wind and rain, looking for unknown hope in the rolling green sea of death.

Lightning and thunder, waves are turbulent, and there is no light of day, and there are sea monsters hovering in the sea, waiting for an opportunity to take their lives. The sailors did not dare to close their eyes for several days, fearing that if one closed one, they would never have a chance to open their eyes again.

While you walk in the sun, when you quarrel with your neighbors, the engineers of the Ocean Group work day and night.

The engineers and craftsmen of the shipbuilding base have not rested for half a year. I spend every day in the sound of the pounding of steel. When you are tired and meditate on the spot, and you have a little more energy, you will study, study, and start doing exercises when you have enough spirit.

A hammer made of steel consumes an average of three hammers per person per month!

While you are satisfied with three meals a day, the soldiers of the Dayang Group are training, practicing, and preparing for the battlefield at any time.

You demand fairness. I want to ask, why do you demand fairness!

Shouldn't those who quietly give their legal income and raise their children?

If you don't want to accept it, you can leave now, and no one will stop you. Otherwise, stay with me honestly!"

Tens of thousands of people were quiet, but this time everyone's mood completely changed.

Zhang Hao said to Zhang Shengde: "Dad, things are almost over. It's time to go. ”

Zhang Shengde sighed and nodded. When Zhang Hao flew down, Zhang Shengde spoke: "After discussion, the Beidou Academy adopts a completely free method. As long as it's in the country of Qixia, it's free!"

The atmosphere suddenly livened up.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao smiled faintly. In fact, the college is cultivating talents for itself, and charging fees is asking for trouble - anyway, now Dayang Group can also afford these costs. The reason why I said that there are possible charges outside Ninghe County before is to let them learn to be grateful and remember the benefits of the Zhang family and Dayang Group. In this way, we can win people's hearts.

Let them know that it is not easy so that they can be grateful.

Zhang Shengde continued: "Attention all students, now the test will start immediately.

From the gate of the academy to the back mountain, the formation has been arranged, and everyone listens to the rules clearly.

When entering the formation, you can't use true qi, magic weapons, etc., and can only rely on your physical strength to advance. As you progress, you will encounter some small fun games, such as arithmetic, building blocks, small mazes, single-plank bridges, and various small traps.

You can choose to play the game, or you can choose to move forward. There are points for everything, and we will eventually pick the top 1,000 people who reach the finish line based on points and performance.

In the end, we will select 450 of the best seeds from these 1000 seeds. Then the 50 best of the remaining 550 people will be selected. In the end, a total of 500 students were admitted.

The first level screens the time until sunset. The time is set at ...... 18 o'clock sharp. It's 9 a.m., everyone has 9 hours, and there is enough time, so don't rush.

Start now. ”

............

said that when Dugu Junjie led the battleship south again, he encountered the cunning and cowardly mirage again. After secretly causing trouble in the sea a few times, the mirage was finally greeted by a few depth charges and ran away again.

After that, the journey was safe, and when the battleship arrived at the Skull River again, there was already some heat rolling here in the Turbulent Continent, and compared to the cold in the north when it set off, it was already a little unbearable heat here. The heat and indescribable dryness of the place are uncomfortable.

However, when I returned to the Skull River again, a small city had already appeared on the banks of the Skull River. Here, a port has been built: Skull Harbor!

Well, it's a pretty weird name.

But when the battleship arrived, there was a battle again. This time, the Red Lotus Sect was not fighting the Holy Fire Sect in the north, but the Sea Demon Beast.

From afar, I saw that the sea monsters were frantically attacking the land, and the small city was already shattered.

The attack of the sea monster beast is like the water flooding the golden mountain, and occasionally you can see the black waves rolling, and the mountain peaks crumbling like a clay pot.

And the Red Lotus Sect, under the leadership of the Left Protector Hua Baixiang, continued to kill a large number of sea demon beasts and obtain rich resources. From time to time, you can see thousands of meters of flame formations falling, and pieces of sea demon beasts have become grilled fish fillets.

Looking at the broken shores, such a battle has only been going on for a long time.

When the battleship appeared, Hua Baixiang flew excitedly from afar, driving the flame phoenix along the way, burning half of the sky, and hurriedly landed on the bow of the Iron Duke, but looked at the white-painted Pearl next to it.

The large characters milled out of the side of the Pearl with a lathe are very eye-catching.

When they met, Dugu Junjie introduced Liu Dingshan, and Liu Dingshan nodded coolly and stood aside without speaking.

Hua Baixiang spun around and chuckled, "What about Zhang Hao?

Dugu Junjie smiled bitterly, that's our president, he's very busy, and he was spanked last time, how dare he come over. Dugu Junjie changed the topic: "Did you take the initiative to hunt and kill the sea monsters?"

"yes, I see that you can all sail in the open sea, and I don't think it's a big deal. Just build a port here, and if we don't want this sea monster to come and eat people, we will go to the sea and catch a few dragons or something. I don't want to make the whole sea boil.

Hmph, my Red Lotus Sect is not a soft persimmon. Although these sea monsters are powerful, their brains are not very good. As long as it is led to the ground, it is a food delivery!

In the past two months, we have obtained a mountain of sea monsters.

Now the sea monsters have almost stopped. A month ago it was the craziest of all. But thanks to your black iron and steel, if it weren't for these excellent materials, we would have suffered a lot. ”

Hua Baixiang seemed to be very excited, and pointed to the Pearl battleship next to her, "This battleship is beautiful!"

"This is Her Majesty's car. ”

"Empress?" Hua Baixiang instantly became interested, "By the way, I didn't have a good exchange last time I came in a hurry." How about going to our sacred mountain this time? Our sect leader would like to communicate with you face-to-face. ”

Dugu Junjie nodded and smiled: "It's no problem." We also want to have an in-depth exchange this time. This time, we also brought a lot of medicinal materials that your sect needed, as well as a large number of pills, dark iron, etc. Artillery and basic industrial technology were also brought.

This time, let's talk about it. ”

"Industrial technology, can you build ships?" Hua Baixiang's eyes kept on the Pearl. After hearing that this battleship was the 'Empress's car', Hua Baixiang became intrigued.

Dugu Junjie smiled: "It can produce dark iron in large quantities." As for whether you can build a ship, it depends on your ability. However, I believe that as long as there is a large amount of Darkiron, your sect will soon be able to have its own steel warship. ”

Hua Baixiang was very satisfied with Dugu Junjie's attitude, and invited the battleship to enter the Skull River as she spoke. Originally, it was planned to build a port here, but now it seems that this port is unusable, and can only continue to enter the river.

The sea monsters blocking the estuary were quickly cleaned up by the artillery. The battleship easily entered the river.

But as soon as he entered the Skull River, Dugu Junjie frowned: "This river ...... It seems to be a lot lower? at least a third less!"

"It's still the dry season. The river does not rise until the rainy season. During the rainy season, the river is more than twice as much as you saw last time!

We only have two seasons here, the rainy season and the dry season.

The rainy season begins in April and May every year and lasts until September. It rains almost half of the time, sometimes every day. After September to April and May of the following year, it is the dry season. It barely rained. ”

"Oh......" Dugu Junjie's eyes widened, curious about the world. Is this the world of the Devil's Path?

But Zhao Dahe, who was following him, didn't think so. He pondered, can the different seasons and the circle of the earth be unified?

The battleship continued to advance, but this time it did not go too far, only to come to the lake where the snapping turtle had been hunted last and stopped. There is already a small city here.

A large number of hunted sea demon beasts were dealt with here, and a large number of masters of the Red Lotus Sect were also gathered here.

Dugu Junjie, Liu Dingshan and others looked at the mountains of ocean monsters and were full of emotion. The Red Lotus Sect really deserves to be a holy land—although it is only half of the Heavenly Capital Sect, it is still a holy land after all.

A holy land, with enough strength and depth to drag down the sea monsters, this is a force that the country of Qixia cannot reach for the time being.

However, Dugu Junjie didn't know that when three steel battleships appeared in this lake, they caused shock.

A master flew out, came to the bow of the ship and looked at Hua Baixiang, and said in shock: "Flower Protector, this is the steel battleship you are talking about?"

"This is Lan Baihong, the hall master of our refining hall!" Hua Baixiang introduced to Dugu Junjie and Liu Dingshan, and then turned to Lan Baihong and said, "Lan Hall Master, the steel battleship you have been looking forward to day and night is here, and there is one more pearl."

This time, as agreed, Dayang Group has brought Xuaniron smelting technology and technicians, and will assist us in building a Xuantie factory. ”

"Oops...... Great!" Lan Baihong was a little overjoyed with excitement.

Seeing Lan Baihong's performance, Dugu Junjie also showed a bright smile - it seems that he can sit on the ground and start the price. Although there is a special person in charge of the negotiation, it does not prevent Dugu Junjie from putting forward opinions on the side.

It's a pity that Hua Baixiang and Lan Baihong, who were temporarily excited, didn't notice Dugu Junjie's meaningful smile.

But no matter what, compared to the obscurity last time, this time too many people from the Red Lotus Sect have seen the Iron Battleship!

It's really a ship made of iron, a steel warship that can cross the open sea!

This time, the battleship quickly caused a huge sensation on the side of the Xuanzhen Sect. And the goods brought on the battleship also caused a sensation for the Red Lotus Sect - they no longer had to accept the exploitation of the inland holy land.

Here the battleship stops, and the trade begins.

Because there are too many unfamiliar goods, medicinal materials, spiritual materials, etc., the pricing is very cumbersome. But that doesn't stop the enthusiasm.

After more than 10 days of discussions, the transaction officially began. A large number of pills in the gas refining period and many pills in the foundation building period were also moved out one by one.

There are also medicinal materials unique to the Northern Fertile Continent, a few special spiritual materials, etc., all of which are moved down in boxes.

And the medicinal materials and unique spiritual materials from the Red Lotus Sect, as well as the demon pills and pearls that had just been obtained from the sea demon beasts, were also carried on the battleship in boxes.

Both sides of the deal were excited. Of course, there will be occasional sound of fierce bargaining, but this only adds to the atmosphere of the transaction.

During this time, the engineers of Dayang Group also followed Hua Baixiang to observe several dark iron mines, and finally selected the address. Prepare to guide the construction of the Xuantie Factory.

And the artillery carried on the battleship was finally supported by Lan Baihong and other masters, and flew all the way to the Holy Land of the Red Lotus Sect, the Flame Mountain. Dugu Junjie and the others also followed to the Holy Land of the Red Lotus Sect.

From afar, I saw a huge flame lotus flower on the top of the mountain, almost hundreds of meters long, burning wildly! The whole sky was reflected red!

The flame lotus is really a lotus flower composed of flames. Each petal seemed to be made of flames, trembling slightly and rising like flames.

Underneath the Flame Lotus, there seemed to be an erupting volcano, but the power of this volcano was drained by the Flame Lotus. The volcano has become a gas bag and a source of energy.

Looking at the blazing flame lotus flower from afar, it made people feel a faint restlessness and irritability, as if some kind of fire qi had entered the body.

Dugu Junjie, Liu Dingshan, Sword Shuangxia, Zhao Dahe and others were immediately shocked. Such a spectacle, ancient and modern.

"This is the Red Lotus of the Nine Lands!" Lan Baihong was a little proud, "This is the treasure of the Heavenly Capital Sect at the beginning." Legend has it that in ancient times, fire lotus seeds fell from the sky and fell to Tiandu Peak. But it was obtained by the patriarch of Tiandu Mountain.

Before the Red Lotus of the Nine Lands had grown, the Master Ancestor refined it and put it into the seal. In this way, we, the disdainful descendants, can control the powerful Nine Lands Red Lotus. ”

Liu Dingshan watched silently, and sighed for a while: "This red lotus of the Nine Lands can destroy the Transformation Stage!"

"Friendly eyesight. However, the cost of destroying the god period is too heavy. We will not use it unless we have to. ”

Liu Dingshan nodded and sighed again: "It is said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books." Today was an eye-opener. I always thought that the Red Lotus of the Nine Lands was just a treasure. I didn't expect it to be such a holy thing!"

"It's a pity that the Ten Thousand Years Sacred Flame of the Nine Lands Red Lotus was lost and snatched away by the traitors in the north. Lan Baihong sighed.
