🕑 Added 2025-04-05 10:03:01 +0000 UTC
This time, the applicants were given a full day to answer the questions, so they had plenty of time to think about their answers.
Of course, you can submit the paper early, but no one will do that.
One day later.
The answering time is over.
All candidates came forward to hand in their papers.
After collecting all the test papers, the test proctor announced, “You all go back and wait for notification. If you pass the exam, you will receive a formal admission letter and be informed of the enrollment time.”
Many of the test takers looked a little nervous. They left the classroom and walked out of the school gate, feeling unsure. Because many of the questions in this exam seemed very confusing to them. They couldn’t figure out what the examiner wanted to say. What did he want them to say?
They could only fill in the answers according to their own ideas.
Unfortunately, there was no way to cheat on this test paper, because there was no standard answer to the test paper, and it all depended on Ye Cheng, the examiner, to judge. Therefore, it fundamentally eliminated the possibility of cheating by candidates due to the questions being leaked in advance. Because even if they knew the questions in advance, they had no idea what answer the city lord wanted.
Night.
In the City Lord’s Mansion, in the office.
Ye Cheng was sitting at the table, scanning the test papers one by one and judging whether they were qualified.
He also saw many familiar names among the names filled in on these test papers.
For example, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan from the Spirit Hall.
Huo Wu from Chihuo Academy, Feng Xiaotian from Shenfeng Academy, Shui Bing’er from Tianshui Academy, Xue Ke from Tiandou, Davis from Star Lou… and many other familiar characters from the original novel.
Even the Shrek people came to join in the fun, including Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Dai Mubai and others.
Ye Cheng shook his head. These people really had no self-awareness at all. What about me? Don’t you have any sense? How dare you come to take the exam?
Never mind, he only looks at the answer anyway.
If the answer is right, why not let them enter the school?
The question is, can they write an answer that satisfies him?
After a period of time.
Ye Cheng read all the test papers and selected 98 qualified candidates from the 1,000 people according to his own judgment. Most of them were male, while females accounted for a small part.
Coincidentally, most of the characters that appeared in the original work were qualified.
Of course, there were also those who failed, such as Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun from Shrek. The answers given by these two silver sticks were simply a mess! However, Oscar’s thoughts were not filthy, and he could barely be admitted.
“Just these people.”
After Ye Cheng decided in his mind which people were qualified, he reached out and pressed the desktop. Suddenly, a light appeared on the large desktop, and then a sci-fi screen appeared. At the same time, many illusory buttons appeared on the desktop… It looked like a computer. Or it could be said that this was a Douluo version of a computer.
I have to say that since the soul guide Xuan Ji’s character was embodied, not to mention other things, daily life has indeed become much more convenient, and handling official business no longer needs to be as complicated as before.
All information is stored in the “computer” system.
At this time, the entire Baiyun City has been built into a simple version of the network system by Ye Cheng using the knowledge brought by the soul guide Xuanji. Officials will be equipped with a device similar to a mobile phone, which can communicate in real time and check some information if necessary. Of course, this requires permission, and not just anyone can know the information they want.
Furthermore, this network is useless outside of Baiyun City, so if you want to communicate, you can only do so within Baiyun City. If you are too far away, it will just become a piece of scrap metal.
The energy that drives these network computers is not electricity, but the soul power that exists everywhere in this world! Therefore, it should be called soul guidance technology. Don’t confuse it with modern technology.
Ye Cheng casually clicked a few times on the virtual keyboard, and soon a bunch of names appeared on it. They were all people he judged to be qualified. This virtual keyboard was actually connected to the soul master’s soul power and mental power. So it was actually a thing that relied on the mind to operate. It didn’t matter whether you pressed it or not, as long as you touched it.
The computer In his office is the mainframe of all the computers in Baiyun City and also the core system. Here he can directly issue instructions to other computers without having to pass them on from person to person.
Soon, the person who was in charge of admissions matters received the shortlisted list sent by the city lord.
Then we started to prepare to send acceptance letters to those shortlisted candidates.
…
Brilliant hotel.
This is the premier high-end hotel in Baiyun City, and therefore, some people from powerful families all choose to stay here during the exam registration period, even the princes and princesses of a country.
After all, Baiyun City is not a small countryside place. Even the emperor has no privileges here, because the city lord does not tolerate the bad habits of the nobles, and he does not need to look at the emperor’s face.
The Brilliant Hotel has a total of nine floors, and the bottom floor is home to some shops and places for tourists to relax and have fun.
At this time, three geniuses from the Spirit Hall, known as the golden generation, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, were sitting in the leisure area drinking drinks and chatting.
“The questions on this test are so difficult, I don’t know how many I can answer correctly.” Xie Yue said with a worried look on his face. You know, they came here with high hopes, and the Spirit Hall required them to enter Baiyun College and learn the knowledge they wanted!
They were just full of confidence when they came, thinking that apart from qualifications, admission was just a matter of letting them fight each other, and whoever won would get in.
But after they arrived, they found out that the entrance exam was not for martial arts but literature, which made their abilities useless.
“Yes, the questions on the test paper are too weird.” Yan also had a bitter face. He had a brain full of muscles, so picking up a pen to answer questions was the most difficult thing for him.
“I told you to read more books instead of listening. Now you realize that you regret not reading enough when you need them.” Hu Liena looked at Xie Yue and Yan who were frowning, and said unhappily.
“Oh, I wonder how many of the three of us can make it this time?” Xie Yue sighed. The more confident he was when he came, the less confident he is now.
“I just hope that not all of us will be wiped out. At least one of us will be able to enroll successfully. Otherwise, how are we going to explain this to the Pope when we return?”
“Don’t be so depressed. Maybe the written test is just a pretense. In reality, it still depends on talent. With our talents, we can definitely get admitted.” Yan patted his shoulder and comforted him.
“I hope so.” Xie Yue still looked hopeless.
Hu Liena was also silent.
At this moment.
A figure approached quietly, and the three thought it was a waiter serving drinks, so they didn’t pay any attention.
When he spoke, they turned around and saw that it was the official who delivered the admission letters to the three of them. In other words, all three of them were admitted!
Along with the admission letters, there was also a free student version of the mobile phone.
