In the end, Xia Xu was unable to taste the braised pork.
The afternoon time is still spent on boring review and explanation of test papers.
However, after school, his deskmate Ma Bing nudged Xia Xu with his elbow and asked, "Are you going to visit the school later?"
"See the school?"
Xia Xu was stunned when he heard this.
"Look at the university. Xu Chao and his friends will organize a group to go and have a look."
Ma Bing said with great interest.
"Looking at universities? Why are you going to look at universities when you haven't even taken the college entrance exam yet?"
Xia Xu was speechless after hearing this.
"Independent recruitment, junior college, Xu Chao seems to say that he has a way, so he doesn't need to take the college entrance examination and can directly apply for independent recruitment. Moreover, the test is very simple, almost like elementary school questions."
Ma Bing explained helplessly with a look of "You are so ignorant".
"So this is it..."
Xia Xu turned his head and looked at a fat man sitting in the corner of the classroom.
That was the Xu Chao that Ma Bing mentioned. He was also a student whose grades were not very good but he was doing well outside. He used to get along well with Tang Hao.
"Hey, are you going or not? Speak quickly. If you are going, I will talk to Brother Chao for you."
Ma Bing nudged Xia Xu with his elbow again.
"No, I don't plan to study for a junior college."
Xia Xu shook his head decisively.
If he wants to study at a junior college, he might as well just drop out of school.
He went to college not to live a life of idleness or to fulfill his parents' assignments, but to have easier access to talented people and excellent connections, and to have more face by showing off his academic qualifications.
If you want to go to a technical college, it is better not to go. It will not produce any results and will only waste time and delay things.
"Are you really planning to take the college entrance examination?"
Ma Bing was somewhat speechless: "Come on, don't I know your grades well? They are just as good as mine. If you don't participate in the individual recruitment now, you may not even be able to get into university."
Xia Xu shrugged: "Even if I don't do well in the college entrance examination, I can still choose a junior college. And if it's really just a junior college or a second or third-tier university, I don't plan to study anymore and will just drop out."
"You don't even plan to study for the second or third books? Do you mean you plan to get into the first one?"
Ma Bing was delighted: "I actually hope you can pass. If you can get into a first-tier university, then I can definitely get in with the score line, right?"
"That's just my plan. I'm not saying you'll definitely pass. If you don't pass, just drop out and go out and start a business."
Xia Xu spread his hands.
He really intended to do so. After all, the meaning of school to him was different from that to most people. If it was too bad, it would be a burden that would waste his time and development speed.
"You're getting more and more ridiculous. Brother, doing business requires capital. Your family..."
Ma Bing seemed to remember something when he was halfway through his sentence. He stopped and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring this up."
"It's just a small matter."
Xia Xu smiled and said, "But if you and Xu Chao are not working together on this single move, I suggest you don't get involved."
Ma Bing was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"If you have this idea, you might as well take the college entrance examination and give it a try. Even if you do poorly on the test, it will always be easy to get into a technical college. Why be afraid before the test
It's like when you play a game, one option is to lose, the other is to win, and the worst outcome is to lose, what do you choose? "
Xia Xu smiled.
He actually had some understanding of the concept of independent recruitment. To put it simply, it meant that junior colleges and the like recruited students independently. There was no need to take the college entrance examination. One could be admitted by following the same process and taking a simple test.
However, this thing seems to be quite dirty. It seems that the school enrollment is subsidized, and those in charge of enrollment will actively recruit people. They also let those precocious high school students recruit people in their own classes. If they recruit someone to sign up, they can share the money.
It is said that the money is not small, and the specific amount depends on the bargaining between the parties. Anyway, it is subcontracted layer by layer, and finally goes to the "agents" in various universities to trick students into selling themselves and then they are grateful.
Of course, this is a bit disgusting, but it cannot be called a crime, and it is not even a bad thing in essence. After all, those who are willing to go also have such needs, and it is a matter of mutual consent.
Therefore, Xia Xu was too lazy to risk offending others by explaining this to Ma Bing, and giving a few words of advice was just enough to fulfill his friendship as classmates.
"But...if this continues, it seems like I'll really have to drop out of school."
The conversation with Ma Bing forced Xia Xu to face this problem.
In two months, it is possible to get into a third-tier university if you work hard, but if you want to get into a first-tier university or even a 985 or 211 university, it is extremely difficult. No, it can be said that there is no hope at all.
But there is nothing we can do about it, the time is really too short.
Unless he uses a cheat to travel back in time and go back to an earlier time, even if the hunter plot hadn't delayed him, he would only have three months. If he wanted to use this little time to cram and get into a top-notch university from a poor student, the difficulty would be no different from it is now.
Now that things have come to this, he can only comfort himself and relax and stop forcing it.
Anyway, it won't cause any fatal impact on yourself. At most, you will just take a slight detour.
Of course, he is not the type to give up on himself easily. He still has to learn what he needs to cram for the exam.
Without the interference and distraction of the plot, he spent the next few days studying peacefully, teasing the little white flower from time to time, and his life was quite comfortable.
The training with Uncle Luo every morning and evening is still going on, mainly to continue to improve physical fitness. In the evening, I take time to practice fighting skills and the newly learned Miao Dao, and also go to the archery hall to shoot arrows.
Needless to say, the former, unarmed combat is the most basic and most commonly used means of self-defense, while the latter two are options for extraordinary circumstances.
Not to mention the existence of Luo Hongyun and Atuo, normally it is enough to fight with bare hands in the city of Xia Country. Using sharp weapons will make it difficult to control the degree and the nature will also change.
When it comes to using weapons, it's definitely a life-or-death struggle, so naturally, whatever is fierce enough and lethal enough will be used. For a small body like his with no talent, the Miao Dao and bow and arrow are definitely more practical than a small dagger dancing on the tip of a knife.
The most important thing is that you cannot get hot weapons in Xia Country. Only these things are convenient. Bows and arrows can be legally possessed. Miao Dao also has a special sales registration and collection certificate because it is produced in Longquan. It is not against the rules to carry it.
Even if they really find fault with it, it will just be confiscated. To be honest, no one will check it unless you take it on a train or plane.
During these few days, Atuo's appearance changed day by day. With Xia Xu's sufficient meat supply at all costs, its body size grew rapidly. It soon went from being a skinny skeleton among its peers to a strong dog that was a size larger than its normal peers.
And this is not just gaining weight. Atuo looks like an ordinary wolfdog on the outside, but underneath the hair and skin are solid and tangled muscles. In terms of explosive power, those super-large dogs that are half a person's height would be crushed by him.
Compared with the cheating Atuo, Xia Xu's own improvement was a bit bleak.
My studies are progressing steadily but it is just 'steady progress', like a stagnant pool with no sign of change or hope.
Combat power... We can't expect any changes in a few days.
However, on Thursday, Xia Xu received a call from Feizhou Studio.
The so-called Feizhou Studio is actually the game company he opened after investing in Hongbo. Today, Hongbo called to inform him of the good news. Their game "Wulin Painting Scroll" is basically completed and will soon be launched on a certain game platform.
