In the morning of the next day, tens of thousands of young men and women gathered in the hall on the first floor of the guild headquarters, all of whom came from various planets to participate in the stone gambling apprentice examination.
Fortunately, the guild headquarters occupies a very large area, and the hall has a large space, otherwise it would definitely not be able to accommodate so many people.
Looking at the dense crowd and the constantly beating numbers on the detector, Jin Mao's face turned pale. This time there were more than a thousand candidates than last year!
Regardless of the number of people, the Stone Gambling Guild will only recruit the top 100 people each year, which means that this year's competition will be more intense than previous years.
He unconsciously glanced at Bai Jing beside him, and the calm and indifferent appearance of the other party made him calm down: It's okay, this year he is much better than last year, and he has been guided by Bai Jing, and he will definitely enter the top 100 !
"Look, the contestants from Capital Star are here!" Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd.
I saw a group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old noble men and women Shi Shiran coming from the door. They were wearing uniform silver uniforms with silver chains hanging on their chests. The boys were handsome and the girls were beautiful. shoot.
Everyone spontaneously made way for them to walk ahead.
"Huh, fortunately there are not many people this time, only thirty people."
"There are so few contestants in the entire Capital Star?"
"Hey, don't you know
They are all recommended by the major families of the capital star, they are the absolute pride of heaven, and the pass rate of the examination is close to 100%! Not only that, the top five in the annual assessment will be taken by them, without exception in the past ten years. "
"!! This is too strong."
"Fuck, isn't our quota only 70?!"
Among this group of people, the most conspicuous one was the young man at the head.
The young man has thick chestnut hair, blue eyes like the most dazzling sapphires, fair skin and a slender figure, like a prince walking out of an oil painting, with an incomparable arrogance, and is the focus of everyone's attention.
"Ah, did you see that standing in the front is the young master of the Du family—Du Xingyu."
"The Du family, is that the Du family of the empire's second largest wool miner? That's a behemoth second only to the Gu family."
"That's right. His older sister, Du Jingya, is the youngest fifth-level stone gambler in the history of the empire.
Influenced by his sister, Du Xingyu liked to gamble on stones since he was a child. He has a whole planet of rough stones and has received professional education. He is definitely the number one. "
"Hey, this year's contestants are too strong, I hope God will bless us to pass the assessment."
Bai Jing followed the flow of people to the tester, and after passing the test, entered the No. 6 examination room where Proxima Centauri belonged.
The space in the examination room is very wide, and each person has a corresponding partition bar, which is separated by opaque light curtains around them, forming a space of four to five square meters.
The assessment time is two days, divided into theory and practice, each of the two assessments occupies one day. The total score of the exam is 100 points, 40 points for theory and 60 points for practice.
The test on the first day is theoretical knowledge, and the test time is five hours.
Bai Jing connected the virtual port on the desktop to the optical computer, showing that the identity authentication was successful.
The interface of this assessment appeared on the light curtain. After clicking to answer the question, the light curtain flickered instantly, and countless complicated and vast questions floated in front of Bai Jing's eyes, and finally froze in an instant.
This is equivalent to randomly selecting a set of test questions from thousands of question banks, and each candidate is different.
Bai Jing scanned it from top to bottom at a very fast speed, and found that these questions were very detailed, covering all aspects of knowledge, covering a wide range, and must have been selected by the Stone Gambling Guild.
But this theoretical knowledge was not difficult for him.
Today's Bai Jing has read all the content in the chip, and his foundation is extremely solid. Coupled with Gao Ling's professional explanation in class, he is now very familiar with the knowledge of stone gambling.
He only read these questions once, and he immediately had the answer in his mind.
The electronic pen in the hand is as light as nothing and has an excellent touch, leaving clear marks without effort. The black nib wrote quickly on the light screen, almost without any pause.
Two hours later, Bai Jing stopped answering, and the light screen displayed beautiful and neat handwriting, but it turned into general-purpose electronic writing in an instant.
The brown eyes behind the lens checked the answer from beginning to end, and after making sure that there were no omissions, he walked out of the examination room.
Du Xingyu was the only one in the empty hall.
He had obviously just come out, and was standing on the tester to be tested when he left.
Seeing Bai Jing, Du Xingyu was obviously stunned for a moment, and his blue eyes flashed with surprise.
His answering speed has always been unparalleled. According to his calculation, the second person who walked out of the examination room should be at least an hour later, and he should come from the examination room No. 1 where Capital Star is located.
'Who the hell is this person? The speed of answering questions was even on par with him. But judging by his clothes, he is obviously a commoner... ..'
Thinking of this, Du Xingyu couldn't help but glance at Bai Jing again, his expression was difficult to distinguish.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he snorted disdainfully, turned and left.
It was because he was wrong. This person is not talented, but just unable to answer. It was useless for him to stand in place and guess for a long time, cut, it was really boring——
As Du Xingyu expected, the next candidate to walk out of the examination room was a girl who came out of examination room No. 1 after three hours of the exam.
The status of the girl is equally noble, she comes from the Tang family, the number one mecha manufacturing family in the empire, and her grandfather is the strongest mecha maker in the empire, she has received a very strict education since she was a child, but she doesn't like mechas, and prefers to gamble with stones.
Bai Jing sat in the waiting area of the hall, first drank two nutrient solutions to replenish his strength, then turned on the optical brain to watch the virtual video of wool, while waiting for Jin Mao and An Ge.
The theory test this time is indeed difficult, but it has not yet reached the level of 'abnormal' that the little fat man said.
According to his speculation, tomorrow's practical assessment is the most important part, it is the part that can really widen the distance between each candidate, and it needs to be prepared early.
"Brother Jing, we're out—"
With half an hour left before the end of the exam, Jin Mao and An Ge walked out of the exam room almost at the same time.
There was obvious excitement on the faces of the two of them, which showed that they did well in the exam.
The little fat man excitedly wanted to pat Bai Jing on the shoulder, but the latter dodged it reflexively, and he didn't mind, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth:
"Brother Jing, thanks to you helping us sort out the test sites, I have answered all the questions this time except for two or three that I don't know."
"Yeah!! I will definitely pass the exam this time—"
He clenched his hands into fists and couldn't help howling, which attracted everyone's strange eyes.
"Let's go." Bai Jing walked out of the hall first, and the two hurriedly followed.
***
The second practical exam started at 9:00 am and ended at 5:00 pm. It lasted for a full eight hours, which showed that it was a tough battle.
Bai Jing followed the crowd into the examination room one by one. His seat was still No. 6, No. 138, no change.
The only difference is that five nutrient solutions provided by the headquarters are placed on the table to ensure the physical strength of the candidates.
Bai Jing connected the virtual port on the desktop to the optical computer. The moment the two connected, he felt that he had come to a virtual space with several woolen materials.
Dozens of woolen materials are placed on the stone platform in the space, with different appearances and sizes.
At the same time, other candidates also entered the same virtual space at the same time, but because of the space isolation technology, each candidate is equivalent to being in a different parallel space without interfering with each other.
Immediately afterwards, a sweet female voice sounded in the empty room, very clear:
Candidates please note that the content of this practical examination is as follows:
First, please classify the fifty-five materials in the examination room according to the planets and gates, and enter the corresponding numbers of the materials into the corresponding planets and gates. Each correct answer is worth 1 point, and the total for this item is 55 points;
Second, please choose the piece of wool that is most likely to produce emeralds among the fifty-five wools. If the bet increases, this item will be worth 5 points.
The two assessments total 60 points, and the examination time is 8 hours, and the countdown begins now. "
All the wool placed in this space are all unscreened wool that the staff of the Stone Gambler Guild brought back from various planets.
Except for a few wool leather shells with obvious field characteristics, most of them are randomly picked and not representative, making it difficult to judge.
I am afraid that no one knows where this piece of wool came from except the stone gambler who brought it back.
Bai Jing looked at the answering area on the light screen. There were more than 30 planets listed on it, with a total of more than 80 fields. It is not easy to accurately judge each of these fifty-five pieces of wool and classify them in turn!
'It really is a hell-level assessment. Bai Jing sighed secretly in his heart, time was running out, he began to look along the first piece of wool one by one.
The first piece of wool was about the size of a football, with sharp edges and corners. It was a yellow sand shell with off-white spots on the surface. When illuminated with a strong light, the light transmission is not strong, indicating that the leather shell is thick, which is a typical performance of the entrance of Dimo Star No. 1.
Bai Jing filled in the number 1 on the corresponding gate, and started to look at the next one.
The first four or five have typical characteristics, but when it comes to the sixth, he is a little uncertain.
This is a piece of lime leather wool, about 30 centimeters long and about 10 centimeters high. It is an irregular cuboid with different shades of surface.
He irradiated it along the epidermis with a strong light, but the light transmission is not strong, indicating that the leather shell is thick. Other than that, however, the piece of wool has no other characteristics.
Bai Jing has excellent eyesight. He looked at this piece of No. 6 wool over and over three times, but he still didn't find anything.
Its surface has no pine flowers, python belts, ringworm and withers, and is plain and featureless. This kind of wool can correspond to the mouths of seven or eight planets.
In desperation, Bai Jing could only let it go for a while and move on to the next piece.
In addition to judging the planet and field where each piece of wool belongs, he also needs to record the good performance of the wool, and finally choose the best performing one among them as the answer to the second assessment.
Two hours passed, and Bai Jing looked at more than 30 pieces of raw materials in a row, among which three were inaccurate, and the rest were filled in with answers.
Bai Jing frowned, dissatisfied with the result. But what he didn't know was that the other candidates had already been tortured crazy by this year's perverted exam questions.
Jin Mao sat on the ground without any image, holding a magnifying glass in his hand, and almost covered his entire face on the woolen fabric, but still couldn't see any features, so he slammed the ground violently.
"Damn, it hurts, it hurts—"
When the fist collided with the hard stone slab, it was like hitting a stone with an egg. Jin Mao screamed in pain while holding his red fist, but there was nothing he could do.
He couldn't distinguish one-third of the wool, and he was about to cry. Who made such a perverted problem this year, it wasn't so difficult last year!
After more than a month of hard work, experience in previous years, and Bai Jing's guidance, Jin Mao's strength has gradually increased. Even so, it is very difficult for him, let alone other candidates.
Loud cursing and crying on the verge of collapse came from different rooms. Many people just scribbled and left the examination room, preparing to fight again next year.
Even Du Xingyu, who was the most favored in the No. 1 examination room, frowned, and there were four or five woolen materials with unclear properties, which showed that it was not easy.
At the same time, in the room on the top floor of the Stone Gambling Guild.
The president of the Stone Gambling Guild looked at the distressed candidates on the big screen, narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"Haha, it seems that I have a very good idea this year. You can see that they are all in a state of dismay. They are indeed young people, full of vitality—"
Hearing this, the corners of the mouths of several senior stone gamblers standing beside the president twitched: You have thought of a good idea, and these candidates will be miserable!
But they also know that there are too many applicants this year, and if the difficulty is not increased, it may be difficult to widen the gap.
"You don't need to look at the number one this time. It must be the boy of the Du family. With the guidance of his genius sister and the inheritance of Master Du, he will definitely reach the top."
"Well, not only that, the more difficult the topic, the easier it is to widen the gap. I'm afraid Du Xingyu will surpass the others by a large margin."
All the stone gamblers looked at Du Xingyu's nearly 100% correct rate on the big screen, and showed a tacit smile. The first place this year, there is no suspense.
"Hey, this kid is also very good. The materials he judged are all correct, and none of them are bad." A sixth-level stone gambler suddenly said.
