After Li Luo and Song Yunfeng had a draw, his results in this preliminary exam were completely stable in the top 20.
According to the normal process, the top 20 people will usually be divided into rankings, but Li Luo has no interest in this, because in his opinion, this kind of ranking competition is meaningless, after all, whether it is the second The tenth place or the first place is just the qualification to take the college entrance examination.
And once too many hole cards are exposed here, when the time comes to meet a strong opponent in the college entrance examination, the opponent will have too much information about him, which will undoubtedly add some difficulties to himself.
So, low-key development, isn't it good? The stingy old dean won't give him any rewards for winning the first place in the preliminaries.
Even this time in the competition with Song Yunfeng, if the other party hadn't been determined to jump repeatedly on the verge of death, Li Luo would have chosen to admit defeat with a high probability.
After all, he didn't think it would be embarrassing to admit defeat if he couldn't beat him. For his improved version of "Water Mirror Technique" to be exposed here, Li Luo now feels a little unworthy.
So when Xu Shanyue came to ask him if he would participate in the competition for the top 20 places, he directly refused. With this time, he would absorb more of the strange light of spiritual water and work harder. Doesn't it smell good if you get the sixth grade of your own "water and light phase"
And Xu Shanyue was not surprised by Li Luo's choice, he just asked him to work hard to prepare for the university exam.
The battle for the top 20 rankings came to an end on the second day. In the end, two people were selected from the second court, Li Luo and Zhao Kuo, but they were both brothers and sisters. Li Luo ranked fifteen, Zhao Kuo ten. Six, just the last part.
Li Luo's ranking obviously has a lot of room for improvement. If he wanted to, it would not be a problem to enter the top ten, but because he gave up the ranking competition, he was finally rated in this ranking.
And the twenty of them will, in two weeks' time, represent Nanfeng Academy, take part in the college entrance examination, and win the admission places of Saint Xuanxing Academy.
As the top university in Daxia, Shengxuanxing Academy will issue some admission places to each county every year, and these places must be robbed by all the schools in each county through the university entrance examination. In the past, every year, South The number of places admitted by the Feng Academy is always the most, which gradually stabilizes the golden signboard of the No. 1 Academy in Tianshu County.
However, Nanfeng Academy is not completely without rivals. Dongyuan Academy is a strong opponent. Although Dongyuan Academy’s background is not as good as Nanfeng Academy, its rise is quite rapid, and behind it is the support of the Governor’s Office of Tianshu County. , in the school exams a few years ago, it also caused a lot of threats to Nanfeng Academy.
It is said that this year Dongyuan Academy is still eyeing the gold-lettered signboard of the number one academy in Tianshu County. Presumably, there must be a lot of fighting for the school's final exam.
After the pre-examination, Nanfeng Academy will have a vacation of more than a week. Students can choose to go home or continue to practice in the academy, and of course Li Luo chose the former without hesitation.
The old house, the attic of Li Luo's room.
Li Luo's eyes were closed tightly, and a faint light lingered on his body. On the tea table in front of him, there was a strange light of the fifth-grade spiritual water that had been used.
After absorbing it for a long time, Li Luo just gradually opened his eyes, and a blue light flashed in his eyes.
"This is the last bottle of this batch."
He looked at the empty crystal bottle in front of him and couldn't help scratching his head. Up to now, Cai Wei has helped him purchase eighty-three bottles of fifth-grade spiritual water and strange light, which consumed more than 400,000 sky-quantity gold , This is a huge sum of money. If Cai Wei hadn't sold off some properties of Luolan Mansion in Tianshu County, I'm afraid it really wouldn't be able to support his consumption.
And after absorbing so much of the fifth-grade spiritual water strange light, Li Luo's fifth-grade "water-light appearance" has indeed improved a lot, but there is still some distance from the evolution to the sixth-grade.
But he had to raise the water and light phase to the sixth grade before the university exam came.
Although the battle with Song Yunfeng ended in a draw this time, Li Luo didn't feel complacent about it, because he knew that if it wasn't for the time mechanism of the pre-examination, he would lose in the end because he was exhausted.
In the college entrance examination, this kind of tie will never happen.
If you want to win the admission quota of Shengxuanxing Academy, you must rely on real ability.
In the college entrance examination, the top students from all universities in Tianshu County will participate, and the competition is so fierce that it is far from the preliminaries of Nanfeng Academy.
In addition, Li Luo has already selected an energy guidance technique to transfer to in advance, and the minimum requirement is to need a sixth-grade appearance.
Therefore, these six grades of water and light are the top priority.
"According to the current progress, if you want to evolve to the sixth rank, you should still need the last batch of fifth rank water light."
"But Sister Cai Wei walks around me when she sees me recently... It seems that she doesn't really want to see me." Li Luo expressed a little distress. Cai Wei didn't even eat breakfast in the old house these days, maybe because she was afraid He asked for dozens of spirit water strange light again.
After all, the fifth-grade Lingshui Qiguang is not Chinese cabbage. The market price is about 5,000 gold per piece, and 50 pieces will cost 250,000 sky-high gold. This is already close to the profit of Luolan Mansion in Tianshu County for a year. .
So Li Luo also understands this very well. He is a good butler with a gold medal, but after arriving in Tianshu County, he can only rely on constantly selling the properties of Luolan Mansion to maintain his operation. This is simply a huge stain on his career path ah.
Until now Cai Wei has not resigned, Li Luo already feels that her heart is as broad as the sea.
But Li Luo can't help it. His acquired appearance is simply a gold-swallowing beast. Fortunately, his father and mother left him a Luo Lan mansion, otherwise he feels that five years later, there is a high probability that he will burp directly.
"Let's go to Xiyang House first."
Li Luo pondered slightly. Now that Luolan Mansion is troubled by internal and external troubles, he can't just sit back and sell Luolan Mansion's property all the time. If he was messed up, the people under Luo Lan's mansion would also have objections to him, the young master of the mansion.
The most important thing is that this will make people suspect that he, the Young Master of the Luolan Mansion, may be a fool... Li Luo obviously cannot accept this.
With some thoughts in his mind, Li Luo tidied up a little, then left the old house and went to Xiyang House.
When he arrived at Xiyang House, he went straight to Yan Lingqing's refining room. When he opened the door and entered, he saw two familiar figures sitting together, as if they were talking about something. At the same time, on the cheeks of the two women, All with a little worry.
It was Yan Lingqing and Cai Wei.
Seeing Li Luo's figure, Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing were startled: "Young Palace Master?"
"What are you talking about?" Li Luo walked in with a smile, and then saw several bottles of spiritual water on the table in front of the two women, and one of the bottles was the first-grade green tea he had refined before Bilingshui.
"I'm talking about Xiyang House's sales performance this year." Regarding Li Luo, Cai Wei didn't hide anything, and said directly.
"The performance is not very good?" Li Luo frowned slightly when he saw this. Xiyang House contributed nearly half of Luolan Mansion's annual profits in Tianshu County. If the performance here deteriorates, it will obviously affect his evolutionary plan .
Yan Lingqing pointed to the crystal bottles in front of her, and said in a cold voice: "For the first-grade spiritual water in the market in Shu County today, there are two main competitions. One is the Qingbi Lingshui from Xiyangwu, and the other One is the "Rizhao Qiguang" produced by Songziwu under the Song family, and the quality of the Lingshui Qiguang of these two companies is similar, so in the past few years, in the Yipin market, the two together accounted for nearly 80%."
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
"However, recently, for some reason, the quality of the "Rizhao Qiguang" produced by Songziwu has improved, and the average tempering power has reached about 57%, which is almost close to the highest quality of our Xiyangwu."
"That's why the Song family has been hyping up their pine house's "Rizhao Qiguang" recently, which has led to them accounting for more than half of the Yipin Lingshui Qiguang market in Tianshu County, while the sales of our Qingbi Lingshui have been greatly weakened."
"If this situation continues, Xiyang House will completely lose to the Song family in the competition for Yipin Lingshui Qiguang. This will be a great loss for Xiyang House. Of course, the most important thing is , will affect the reputation of Xiyang House in Tianshu County."
Hearing this, Li Luo's face was also slightly solemn, and he said, "What is the yield rate of the first-grade spiritual water and strange light in Xiyangwu?"
"Xiyang House in Tianshu County can produce five bottles of first-grade Lingshui Qiguang every day, which is 150 bottles a month, and the price of first-grade Lingshui Qiguang on the market is around fifty gold, so a Over the next year, the total sales of Xiyang House on Yipin Lingshui Qiguang will reach about 90,000 sky-high gold, excluding all costs, the profit will be 30,000 gold." Cai Wei said without thinking, obviously He is well aware of all the industries and data of Luolan Mansion in Tianshu County.
Li Luo first gave Cai Wei a thumbs up to express his appreciation, and then slightly estimated that he was a little surprised, because the profit from this grade of Lingshui Qiguang alone accounted for 10% of Luolan Mansion's annual income in Tianshu County One, from this we can see how much benefit this market of spiritual water and strange light has.
But this is also normal, because not everyone can squander high-quality Lingshui Qiguang, and more people who buy first-grade and second-grade Lingshui Qiguang do not mean that their own appearance is only of this grade , but because they may not be able to consume a large amount of higher-grade spiritual water strange light, so they can only use low-level spiritual water strange light as a substitute.
It's just that this kind of improvement efficiency will obviously be much lower than using high-quality Lingshui Qiguang, and the accumulation of impurities will be faster, but there is no way, not everyone has Li Luo's family business at the beginning.
After knowing this information, Li Luo's first feeling was that Xiyang House must not be affected, otherwise it would definitely affect the rhythm of his future evolution of water and light.
"Why is the quality of the "Rizhao Qiguang" produced by the "Songzi House" of the Song family improved this year?" Li Luo asked.
"There are nothing more than three things that affect the quality of Lingshui Qiguang, the formula, the experience and strength of the refiner, and the quality of the source water and light."
Yan Lingqing said indifferently: "I have checked the "Rizhao Qiguang". After my analysis, it should be that the formula has been slightly changed. I think there is a high probability that the Song family paid a lot of money to ask some experts to give advice."
Cai Wei put her left arm around her chest, propped her right elbow, and then lightly touched her snow-white chin with her right hand, and said with a frown: "In addition, Zhuang Yi has been using this excuse to attack Lingqing recently, saying that the result is because of her. , let her quit Xiyang House."
Cai Wei stood with Yan Lingqing, but she didn't know that her unintentional movement made the already raging waves a little dazzling, especially in such a comparison, Yan Lingqing next to him could only be described as miserable .
And Yan Lingqing seemed to have noticed something, stretched out her hand expressionlessly, and tore off Cai Wei's left arm.
Cai Wei didn't react for a while, but soon there was a blush on her gentle and charming oval cheeks, and at the same time, the hand under the table pinched Yan Lingqing who was next to her with some embarrassment.
Then, the sharp eyes of the two women turned to Li Luo, and the latter was taken aback for a moment, not only did not panic, but said with a serious face: "When talking about business, don't make some small moves, you are such a big person, and then Next time, I will criticize you."
In the end, Li Luo's serious words only attracted a cold snort from the two women, and they quickly ignored the matter.
"Then Zhuang Yi is still messing around?" Li Luo asked back to the point.
Mentioning this Vice President Zhuang Yi, Yan Lingqing's cold face showed a bit of annoyance, and said: "This guy is looking for trouble all day long, which has caused many internal conflicts in Xiyang House. This year, the quality of Xiyang House's products has declined. Not unrelated."
"It seems that this is a scourge, can you find a way to get rid of it?" Li Luo grinned, also very upset, I need a lot of money here, you don't hurry to make money for me, and you want to set a fire in my backyard
Cai Wei frowned, and said: "Now Xiyang House is a group of dragons without a leader. After all, Lingqing is new, and the prestige is not enough, and Zhuang Yi is an old man. Some tempering masters in Xiyang House still trust him, so if there is no right Forcibly driving them away, I’m afraid it will cause panic.”
"And, behind him, after all, there is still the support of Pei Hao."
Li Luo frowned. Pei Hao's white-eyed wolf is the biggest scourge of Luo Lan Mansion. This Zhuang Yi is only affecting the sales of Xiyang House, but Pei Hao wants to take over the entire Luo Lan Mansion. Walk.
This is simply to cut off his lifeline, Luo Lan Mansion was taken away by you, how can I fill this bottomless pit with my postnatal appearance? By face
But now that Pei Hao's climate has matured, but on the other hand, he is just a fledgling and has no strength to fight him at all, so for the time being, he can only hide behind Sister Qing'e in a low-key manner to develop.
And just as Li Luo was thinking about it, someone suddenly reported it.
"Young Mansion Master, Chief Steward, Vice President Yan...Vice President Zhuang suddenly summoned all the management of Xiyang House, saying that there is an important matter to discuss, and the three of you are invited to participate."
Hearing the announcement, Li Luo, Cai Wei, and Yan Lingqing were startled, and then looked at each other, frowning at the same time.
This guy is going to do something again.
