Chapter 118: Chapter 28 Exam Day 1 Chapter 118: Chapter 28 Exam Day 1 Editor: Noodletown Translations June 10!
The day of exams for the Federation’s thousands of academies had finally arrived.
At this moment, tens of millions of candidates gathered here, and each of the Federation’s five major A-level academies sent recruitment teams to the Purple Jade Star.
Now, in the seventy-two cities of Purple Jade Star, districts numbered 1 to 50 were all teeming with people.
The local residents couldn’t help but complain about why the city was always so packed during this time every year.
Apart from the students coming for the exams, there were even more parents.
On this day, Purple Jade Star even issued a planetary lockdown order, forcibly banning all entertainment activities during the day for the next few days.
At the same time, the military and police systems were on high alert, solely to make way for the Federation’s grand exam.
For the officials of the Purple Jade Star’s government, this was an excellent opportunity they couldn’t miss to showcase the prosperity and stability under their administration.
In District A of city number 1, Fat Brother was holding his Sky Communication device, seated inside a floating car heading to the exam venue.
“What’s going on?
He still hasn’t messaged me.”
Since waking up this morning, Mu Fan hadn’t called or messaged him even once, seemingly vanishing without a trace.
But the exam was officially starting today, and Fat Brother was getting anxious.
Luckily, the planet’s magnetic levitation transportation was quite advanced.
The layered floating track bridges were crammed with vehicles, but they all moved orderly along the predetermined tracks.
Fat Brother’s goal today was pure.
He was heading to the special recruitment point at Dingchuan Academy stationed at District A.
Each academy had flexible quota areas, but 99% of the people didn’t know because one had to confirm personal information at the special recruitment point first, then participate in the exam according to normal procedures.
Personal information confirmation meant that examiners from the academy would carefully verify your personal identity, confirming it perfectly matches the internal documents before placing a special mark after your name.
Those with this special mark were either rich or noble.
The need for resources for academy development had no upper limit.
On the premise of ensuring effective student quality, the academy opened its doors appropriately for privileged classes in exchange for resources the academy lacked.
At this moment, Fat Brother was about to do this very thing.
“Hello, we’ve arrived.” The driver’s reminder brought Fat Brother back to his senses, and looking at the gateway flanked by two rows of statues, Young Master Harry finally reached the exam venue.
Fat Brother rubbed his chubby face, looked around at the dense crowd, and walked inside.
The surrounding chatter filled the air.
“Excuse me, please.”
“Don’t push me.”
“Goodbye, Mom!”
The vast flow of people began flooding into the campus; however, these individuals were heading to various exam venues on different floors.
Fat Brother didn’t follow the crowd; he looked up at the sign and then at his Sky Communication device.
“Building 17, Room 107.”
It seemed like this was Dingchuan Academy’s special recruitment point.
When Fat Brother walked into the room, he found only one man, about thirty years old, focused intently on the Sky Communication screen, which was broadcasting exciting fighting images.
He didn’t notice Fat Brother poking his head in.
Is this the place?
Young Master Harry once again checked the room’s sign plate.
Nope, no mistake.
“Um… Hey?
Isn’t that the new Snow Soul Mecha from the Fantasy Department’s seventh generation?
I heard the designer of this mecha is getting bashed to death.” Fat Brother was about to greet him when he noticed the images on the man’s Sky Communication device and immediately leaned over.
Fat Brother was also interested in this; why?
This mecha had a Frost Extreme Freezing Cannon, which performed outrageously in the game.
However, it wasn’t available for purchase yet; only some lucky players managed to get it through a lottery.
“Yeah, a kindred spirit.
Hey, who are you?” The man lifted his head, surprised, upon seeing Fat Brother’s small eyes sparkling as they focused on his Sky Communication device.
“Isn’t this Dingchuan Academy’s special recruitment point?”
“Yes, it is.” The man nodded.
“I’m here to register my information.”
“Well, didn’t expect to see such a promising Dingchuan Academy student.
It looks like you know a lot about PO Battle Net.
Are you planning to apply for the Mecha Department?” the man asked skillfully as he took Fat Brother’s identity card for information verification.
“Hehe, no, I’m planning to apply for the Combat Logistics Department.” Actually, Fat Brother really wanted to say the Culinary Department, but unfortunately, Dingchuan Academy didn’t have such a high-precision department.
In the categorization, the culinary and cooking-related sections were collectively classified under Logistics.
Sigh, Fat Brother would slowly work his way in; hopefully, he could make a good impression and join the cooking squad.
If Mr.
Wayne heard his son’s thoughts, he might explode.
Half of his family fortune and a significant promise made to Gaoling Sen secured Harry’s admission opportunity.
Now this little Fat Brother had the nerve to choose the Logistics Department without consulting the family!
The man at the special recruitment point’s eyes lit up as he assessed Fat Brother’s physique and nodded approvingly, “I also think you’re better suited for the Logistics Department, especially focusing on culinary.”
Young Master Harry promptly took out an unopened box of cigarettes.
“You certainly are a high-level teacher at the academy.
Listening to you talk is enlightening.
I’ve just arrived, and I have nothing much to offer.
Please try these cigarettes.”
The man, seeing how Fat Brother was so perceptive and having already verified his identity information, felt more favorably disposed towards him.
Becoming a Dingchuan Academy student was practically a sure thing now.
Without revealing his emotions, he accepted the cigarettes and noticed they were a special unopened edition for the nobility.
Satisfied, he patted Fat Brother on the shoulder.
“I’m Gu Yuan, an instructor-in-training for Dingchuan Academy’s Electronic Warfare Department.
Once you’re in, let’s exchange pointers.
I can share some of my prized holographs with you, if you know what I mean, hehe.”
Seeing Gu Yuan’s mischievous expression, Fat Brother didn’t need to ask further and nodded knowingly.
A kindred spirit indeed; Fat Brother could be friends with this one.
“Hurry up and go to your exam; see you at the academy!” Gu Yuan cheerfully pointed out the path for Fat Brother.
After Fat Brother left the exam venue, he greedily sniffed the cigarette box and chuckled.
“Haha, Tyrant Ruan, you probably haven’t gotten this lucky, right?
Limited edition Tuheng Cigarettes, hahaha.”
…
The Tyrant Ruan Gu Yuan mentioned was Ruan Xiongfei, the highest-ranked representative Dingchuan Academy sent to Purple Jade Star.
This bald middle-aged uncle was now solemnly patrolling the reserve special recruitment exam venue in District D.
His first task wasn’t to select candidates but to engage in an enthusiastic verbal spar with other academy examiners.
“Well, look who it is, Instructor Zhou from Taoyun Academy.
Why have you also come to this infantry special recruitment place?
How about this—I’ll pick first, and you can be second.”
People around couldn’t help but chuckle quietly.
One man in his thirties, with the Taoyun Academy emblem embroidered on his chest, turned pale with anger.
Seeing the big bald head flex his muscles in challenge, he could only swallow his resentment.
This level 25 monster; why did he come to a place like Purple Jade Star?
And he dared to join the Army Reserve special recruitment exam?
Was Dingchuan Academy’s test administrator out of their mind?
Seeing Instructor Zhou from Taoyun Academy remaining silent, Ruan Xiongfei chuckled and turned his attention to the other side.
“Well, isn’t this the expert from the Capital Star?
Are you all interested in us from the Fourth Administrative District?”
A man in a dark gray, gold-trimmed uniform frowned and said with disdain, “Ruan Xiongfei, although I don’t know why you’re here, you should avoid provoking our Dawn Academy.”
“Tut-tut.” The big bald head stroked his chin, looking at the man with interest, speaking as if making a decision, “I know you’re upset.
You’re also in the Army; let’s have a fight.”
My ass!
The man in the dark gray gold-trimmed uniform was so furious he couldn’t even speak.
Could you finish that sentence?
Yes, I am in the Army, but damn it, do you expect an Army Intelligence Specialist to fight with an old army rogue like yourself?
Do you have any shame at all?
