Chapter 12

When it was almost 10 o'clock, Bai Jing took off his earplugs.

Within a few minutes, a fat boy opened the door panting, looked around the room, and then sat down next to Bai Jing with a bang, with a smile on his round face: "Hello, my name is Jin Mao."

"Bai Jing." Bai Jing looked sideways at him, and politely reported his name.

The other party is wearing high-quality clothes, with a space button that can store objects hanging around his neck, and the optical brain on his wrist is also the latest style. It can be seen that his family background is good, but he doesn't know why he sits with him.

"Is that Bai Jing? Your name sounds really nice."

Jin Mao is an acquaintance. He smiled at Bai Jing, glanced at the young men and women sitting in the back row, rolled his big eyes, and whispered:

"Heh, I just can't bear the look of those rich kids with their eyes above the top. They look down on this all day and look down on that. What's so great about it? Here, the strongest is the one who can pass the final assessment."

"Is the assessment difficult?" Bai Jing keenly grasped the word.

He originally wanted to check the precautions about training and assessment, but he only found sporadic information on the star network, which shows that the content of the assessment has not been made public.

"It's very difficult. Although the stone gambling apprentice is not high-level, it is the only way to become a stone gambling master. The annual assessment questions are extremely abnormal.

And regardless of the number of applicants, only the top 100 will be selected each time, and the pass rate is frighteningly low.

Like the latter ones, many of them took the exam for the second or even third time, ahem, I am also the second time. "

Jin Mao scratched his head in embarrassment. Last time, he didn't even enter the top 500, let alone the top 100.

Every year, there are too many people participating in the stone gambling apprentice assessment, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands, and the competition is very fierce.

According to this year, the number of this training room is 8, and there are more than 60 students in each training room. In this way, there are more than 500 people participating in the assessment in Proxima Centauri alone.

The total number of planets in the entire empire may be more than in previous years.

"Hey, although the title is abnormal, the top 30 who pass the assessment will get corresponding points: 5 points for the top ten, 3 points for the 11-20, and 2 points for the 21-30."

"The requirement for a first-level stone gambler is that the points must reach 5 points. If you can get the top ten, you can be directly promoted from a stone gambler apprentice to a first-level stone gambler!"

Jin Mao said a little excitedly, and when he talked about the latter, his face couldn't help but flush.

That's 5 points. According to the regulations, one point is accumulated for each bet increase, and 5 points represent five bet increases.

Even according to the probability of losing nine out of ten bets, at least fifty stone bets are required; if you are unlucky, you don't know how many times it will take.

After hearing Jin Mao's words, Bai Jing silently set a goal in his heart, that is to get the top ten in the assessment at any cost!

As long as he becomes a first-class stone gambler, he can represent Gu to participate in the stone gamble battle, and he can also repay Gu Yuanchao's favor as soon as possible.

At exactly 10 o'clock, a middle-aged man in a white retro robe with a pentagram pattern on his chest came to the training room.

His expression was very serious, and his sharp eyes scanned the classroom, and the room was suddenly silent.

The middle-aged man inserted the black storage chip into the holographic device, and after adjusting the angle, he began to introduce himself:

"My name is Gao Ling, and everyone can call me 'Teacher Gao'. Next, we will learn how to distinguish the origin and characteristics of the planet from the origin and characteristics of the wool and the type of leather shell."

Following Jin Mao's operation, Bai Jing connected the virtual port on the desktop to the optical computer. For a moment, he felt that he was on a somewhat barren planet, with violent wind and sand blowing in his face, Bai Jing immediately raised his sleeve to cover it.

"The wind and sand on Carl Star are very strong, so many rough jadeites are buried below the surface. After thousands of years of movement, a unique rough yellow sand cortex has been formed..."

Following the teacher's explanation, Bai Jing felt the changes in the earth's crust and the ups and downs of the mountains and rivers, and he could clearly see the trajectory of the movement of those woolen materials.

After exiting the virtual space, looking at the training room in front of him, Bai Jing was filled with shock. This immersive sense of reality made him amazed, and at the same time, he was deeply impressed by the characteristics of Carl Star.

Gao Ling displayed Karl Xing's wool images in three-dimensional form in front of the classroom, and began to explain from the origin of the wool, the crystal structure of the leather shell, the thickness of the surface, and the classification of colors.

Bai Jing was fascinated by what he heard. Whenever Gao Ling finished explaining a point of knowledge, he quickly recorded the key words in his notebook, and played them back at double speed in his mind at the same time.

Jin Mao was recording on the optical brain electronic screen, and seeing Bai Jing take out a notebook of ancient earth, his eyes were filled with shock.

"I'm dying of laughter, what is that commoner holding, where did you get the old antique?"

The young men and women in the back laughed even more when they saw it, causing Gao Ling to knock heavily on the podium, "Quiet!"

Bai Jing was calm and composed, and the pen in his hand did not stop at all. Compared with the electronic screen, he prefers the feeling of the pen on the paper, which will make his memory clearer.

The reason why he can survive in the crisis-ridden apocalypse is because of his excellent learning ability and extraordinary adaptability, otherwise he would have been buried in the mouth of zombies long ago.

Right now, he knows too little about interstellar and field knowledge, and his foundation is too weak, but as long as he finds the right method and trains hard, he believes that he will not lose to anyone.

Bai Jing was thinking while taking notes, just memorizing key words in class was not enough, he had to go back and review it several times, trying to retell it completely.

***

Gao Ling talked all morning, and only talked about two or three performances of woolen materials, but his explanations were exceptionally detailed, worthy of being a professional teacher of the Stone Gambling Guild.

After his explanation, Bai Jing could barely distinguish the different types of sand leather shells and wool materials, and he could tell a thing or two about the performance of the leather shells. It can be said that in the whole classroom, he was the one who gained the most.

Jin Mao saw that Bai Jing was still writing hard after class, and his notebook was full of dense handwriting, and he was surprised by the other party's efforts.

His family background is not bad, his father is one of the four major robot manufacturers of Proxima Centauri, and he is well-known in the middle and upper circles.

It's just that now that household robots are close to saturation, the business at home is going from bad to worse, and even his pocket money has been reduced a lot.

Because of this, he wants to become a stone gambler, and wants to open up another path for the family.

Jin Mao thought that he had worked hard enough among his peers. He not only saved his pocket money to buy wool, but also often went to the wool area to watch others bet on stones.

But now, he looked at the less than a page of text recorded on his light screen, and then looked at Bai Jing's notebook full of memories, and suddenly felt very ashamed.

"Bai Jing, I want to learn from you!"

The little fat man looked at the other side fixedly, and clenched his fleshy fists. In the afternoon, he also had to write down what the teacher said word by word!

It has been half an hour since Bai Jing sorted out all the knowledge points in the morning.

It was noon, and everyone took out the nutrient solution one after another.

Ning Yuxuan took out a high-grade nutrient solution from the space button, the surface glowed with fine streamers, like a work of art. This nutrient solution is a custom-made flavor that has not yet been launched, and it is only sold to noble families, and one bottle costs two thousand stars.

Seeing other people's envious eyes, Ning Yuxuan smiled gracefully, deliberately slowing down and drinking gracefully.

This is her favorite creamy strawberry flavor. It has a smooth and delicate taste with a sweet and sour fragrance, which is really a pleasure.

Ning Yuxuan was enjoying the taste of high-grade nutrient solution, when she suddenly smelled a very strong aroma, it was... the smell of curry beef!

She can't remember wrongly, she and her father had eaten at the "Empire Rose Restaurant" a few times before, and the taste was so delicious that it was so delicious that it would bite off your tongue, which is still unforgettable.

But, how could there be such a fragrant smell here

Jin Mao stared intently at the lunch box that Bai Jing took out. The white rice grains were covered with potatoes and beef, and the rich soup had penetrated into the rice, exuding the unique aroma of curry.

Looking at the tasteless nutrient solution in his hand, he was so greedy that his saliva was about to flow down.

In the end, he couldn't bear the tempting smell, and asked cheekily, "Bai Jing, did you do this?"

"En." Bai Jing's movements were elegant but fast, and half of them were wiped out in a blink of an eye.

"You know how to cook ancient earth food?" The little fat man widened his eyes when he heard this.

He has studied interstellar history. When the end of the world broke out and humans emigrated in a hurry, there were only a million people left, all of whom were high-level officials and troops who survived, and many inheritances are gone.

"Jingjing, Brother Jing... Can you give me a little of your lunch, just a little, and I'll just taste it." Jin Mao looked at Bai Jing with pitiful eyes, making everyone who saw it chill.

Bai Jing frowned slightly. People who have experienced the end times will not easily share food with others.

But thinking that Jin Mao had told him about the assessment, he took out another box and gave him half a bowl.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo And So delicious."

The little fat man burst into tears as he gobbled it up. He had never eaten such delicious food since he was a child, and even the high-grade nutrient solution couldn't compare to what happened.

The men and women around Ning Yuxuan sucked their noses deeply, and suddenly felt that the nutrient solution in their hands was tasteless, but their pride did not allow them to strike up a conversation with a commoner, so they could only endure it silently.

A few of them whispered: "Hey, did you just hear that, the curry beef is made by that commoner himself."

"So what if he did it, are you going to ask him for it?"

"Ahem, I want to make an appointment for tomorrow's lunch, do you think two thousand star coins are enough?"

"Are you crazy? Ms. Ning hates lowly commoners the most, let alone one who was born in a slum. Do you want to anger her?"

Everyone was silent, gritted their teeth and drank their nutrient solution amidst the rich aroma, hoping that they would be able to resist the temptation of delicious food after their stomachs were filled.

Ning Yuxuan tried her best to control her breathing, making herself look as usual without being affected in the slightest.

She secretly thought in her heart: I must ask my brother to take her to the "Empire Rose Restaurant" for dinner in the evening, and I must order the beef curry!

After Jinmao finished eating, the automatic recognition odor cleaning device was turned on immediately, and the indoor air was cleaned in 10 seconds, replacing it with a fresh smell like grass and trees.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and finally no longer have to be poisoned by this fragrance.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Ling came to the classroom on time to start the afternoon class.

He first briefly recounted the content of the morning, and then continued to introduce the impact of other planets on the surface of the wool.

Time passed quickly, and by the end of the course, he had finished explaining all the performances of the nearby star fields, and started to ask random questions.

Ning Yuxuan held her head high. Since she was a child, she often followed her father to look at all kinds of woolen materials in the woolen fabric area, and she is very familiar with this knowledge.

And her goal this time is very clear, which is to get the top ten in the assessment and become an official stone gambler as soon as possible!

Gao Ling glanced at her and asked her to answer the first question: "What is the performance of the wool at the mouth of Karl Star No. 1?"

Ning Yuxuan talked eloquently: "Carl Star has a lot of wind and sand, and the crustal movement is violent. The mouth of the No. 1 field is an old pit species, so a unique yellow sand skin with gray spots is formed. The skin is thicker..."

"The answer was perfect."

Gao Ling's serious face softened a little, and he asked several people to answer questions one after another. These questions are relatively basic, and everyone's answers are also correct.

He turned his gaze to Bai Jing, who was sitting in the first row, with a look of appreciation in his eyes.

He had a good impression of this plainly dressed boy, and he was very serious about his lectures. Any teacher would like such a student.

So Gao Ling slightly increased the difficulty and asked a basic question that was not covered in class:

"As we all know, Carl's planet and Dimo's planet are companion stars, and the environments of the two planets are roughly the same, so how to distinguish the wool of these two planets?"

Bai Jing quickly recalled every knowledge point that Gao Ling talked about in class, but he still couldn't find the relevant knowledge after searching in his mind. So tell the truth: "Teacher, I'm really sorry, I can't answer."

As soon as the voice fell, a burst of laughter broke out immediately behind.

Although the stone gambling apprentice assessment is difficult, the course on the first day is the most basic, and most of it is common sense content, and then it will be deepened layer by layer.

This commoner can't even answer such a simple question. Could it be that he wants to take the last place in the exam? Oh, sure enough, all the things that come out of the slums are waste.

Everyone looked at Bai Jing with contempt, and Ning Yuxuan frowned in disgust, as if staying in the same space with the other party was an insult to her.

Gao Ling's brows were also slightly disappointed, he was also born as a commoner, and he knew the difficulties of commoners.

Stone gamblers are expensive, and the proportion of commoners is very small. To become a famous stone gambler, you have to work harder than ordinary people, and get the support of aristocratic families with excellent performance.

And the ranking in the stone betting apprentice assessment is a good opportunity to show yourself.

Seeing the young man's meticulous attitude, he thought that there could be another stone gambler among the common people, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even answer the most basic knowledge.

"This is the end of today's class." Gao Ling immediately lost the mood to continue asking questions, and directly announced the end of the get out of class.
