Through conversation, we learned that four of the other five people were from wealthy families, either the second generation of officials or the second generation of rich people, or one of their parents was a powerful emissary.
Gao Peng and Han Xiao, the only civilian geniuses present, cherished each other.
Han smiled and said to Gao Peng: "On the day the exam ended, several groups approached me to sign a contract with me. Have any groups approached you?"
Gao Peng was stunned for a moment, frowning and thinking. He didn't seem to have met anyone from other groups who came to him. Why is that...
Han Xiao saw something from Gao Peng's expression and comforted him: "It's okay. You are number one in Chang'an City. A group will definitely contact you after the results come out." Seeing Gao Peng's confused expression, Han Xiao tried his best to comfort him. .
"Well, probably." Gao Peng guessed that his grandfather or Uncle Liu might have helped him stop people from other groups, and thought to himself.
Han Xiao's beast is a god ant. It is said that he accidentally ate something during an adventure and then mutated. He mutated from a black ant into this god ant, which means it is like a god descending to earth.
Gao Peng took a look and saw that this was a level 21 elite-level leader-level beast.
It is two and a half meters high and five meters long. The whole body is covered in golden armor and looks really majestic.
But in Gao Peng's eyes, the real name of this monster is the Golden-armored Demon Ant, which has nothing to do with the God Ant of Heaven.
This is interesting. Could it be that the "patent right" has been registered
[Monster name]: Golden-armored Demon Ant
[Monster Level]: Level 21 (Leader Level)
[Monster Quality]: Elite Quality
[Monster attribute]: Gold system
[Monster Weaknesses]: 1. No armor protection on joints 2. Hates pungent smells
It is very difficult to cultivate a leader-level beast by relying solely on talent. Without background and resources, where can the elixir come from to help the beast grow rapidly in the early stage? Even if there are, there are only a few lucky people who have harvested genius treasures in the wild. This is very rare. Although it is a bit cruel, it is a fact.
Of course, this does not mean that the civilian ambassador cannot grow up, it just requires more luck and time to give him more opportunities. As the saying goes, the rich rely on technology and the poor rely on mutation.
Gao Peng's ability only allows his beast masters to overcome the bottleneck of quality when they break through to the next level, and avoids many detours. It does not directly give his beast masters a faster growth rate.
Landing.
In front of us is a bustling big city, and planes can be seen taking off and landing from time to time at the wide airport.
This is a prosperous big city. This is Gao Peng's first impression of Jiangnan Base City.
Another name for Jiangnan Base City is Wudu.
It is relatively close to the Magic City and Jinling, and it is also one of the top cities in China after the disaster.
"Welcome to Jiangnan Base City." The plane landed and a sweet female voice sounded over the airport.
The trunk of the plane slowly opened, and dazzling sunlight shone in through the open gap.
"Hey, that plane over there seems to be a military fighter plane. Why are there so many fighter planes today?" A passenger in the airport terminal looked outside curiously.
In the hour he was waiting for the plane, seven or eight military planes landed. The dark green fighter planes had dark blue lines on them, and their streamlined bodies were full of high-tech feel.
"Are you saying that a wave of monsters is about to break out somewhere near Jiangnan?" Someone frowned and said worriedly.
"It shouldn't happen. If there is an outbreak of monsters, there should be reminders on the news." Someone comforted.
"I hope..." The man nodded.
"You all guessed wrong. A war is not about to break out somewhere. Those are the candidates who came to take the second round of the Chinese District Imperial Examination."
"How can a single exam lead to so much mobilization? And military planes were used to transport the students." Someone was astonished.
"Hey, you didn't know it. Generally, there are only a few candidates in a base city, at most a dozen candidates. These are the proud ones selected from tens of thousands of candidates at the same time. Naturally, the military region must protect these geniuses. "A young boy next to him rolled his eyes.
"Uh... Choose a few people out of tens of thousands of people. They can be regarded as the top few in the college entrance examination in a city. They are indeed geniuses. The gold content is indeed not bad." The person who originally asked the question muttered to himself. "Hey, do you know why they came to our Jiangnan base city?"
"You should be able to see it on TV in two days." The boy cleared his throat, straightened his collar, rolled his eyes upward, and tried to straighten the bridge of his nose.
An aunt who had been watching suddenly interrupted: "Does anyone in your family work for the government? Otherwise, how would you know this news?"
The corner of the boy's mouth curled up, and you finally asked!
Taking a deep breath, the boy opened his mouth with a hint of pride -
"Ye Han! Why did you come here? You made us anxious to death." A girl wearing black sports pants and a ponytail ran over panting and said to the boy angrily. "Everyone was about to set off, but they found that you were missing. If it weren't for your beast master to lead the way, you would have been lost today, do you know? Why are you so uneasy, I'm not your mother!" The girl's tone became more serious when talking about it. This guy has been lost three times along the way!
A silver-white piglet emerged from the ponytail girl, shook its big head, and sighed in a humane manner, completely disappointed with its stupid master.
Ye Han's face turned red and he kept waving his hands, "I'm not lost, I just want to see how the imperial envoys in other base cities are growing up. Besides, if the imperial envoys go to the wrong place, they don't count as lost. This doesn't count."
This explanation seemed a bit feeble, and the silver-white piggy grinned and mocked mercilessly. The girls with ponytails couldn't help laughing, and the airport terminal was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
The atmosphere that was finally created just now was gone.
Finally, the girl with the ponytail said helplessly: "Next time, don't wander off." After saying that, she turned around and left.
... ...
Are these the other candidates taking part in the competition this time? Gao Peng looked at the candidates around him.
There were a lot of people, almost two hundred people.
Fortunately, since he was born in China, he has long been immune to the concept of crowds.
There are a total of fifty base cities in the entire Huaxia District. Basically, the second-tier and above cities before the disaster were divided into base cities.
There are different types of beasts present, including most of the types of beasts that can be seen.
There are flying ones, such as a six-meter-high volcanic vulture standing next to Gao Peng, with scorching waves of air billowing outward.
Gao Peng originally thought that Ah Chou would be frightened and hide, but Ah Clan just nervously lay on his head, then turned his back. Through the blood contract, Gao Peng could clearly hear Ah Clan trembling and muttering to himself, "I'm not Guoji, I don’t taste good, I don’t taste good..."
In addition to flying types, there are also undead types, but those undead monsters all wear cloaks or wrap themselves tightly, perhaps because they are afraid of scaring others.
