Chapter 311 017. Open the book! Useful!
Public flying carpets are a very convenient means of transportation. With a few magic formations and a blanket, the assembly line can produce hundreds of thousands of them a day. The flying carpet can avoid most terrain obstacles and can reach speeds of up to It's 190 kilometers. There's basically nothing wrong with it except that its transport capacity is a bit poor and it can only carry people but not cargo.
To put it bluntly, there are no seats, and there are a lot of people lying around, some sitting, and some standing. Anyway, there is a wind-blocking array, so the passengers' manners are not very good.
From the beginning, the magic-side civilization has taken the initiative in information and transportation, but the process of industrialization and urbanization is much slower than that of the technology-side civilization.
Oran City, the test site for Li Ozi and others, is not very close. The flying carpet took a long time to drive, starting early in the morning and arriving in the afternoon. Young students are all filled with emotion when they see the bustling city, and are particularly fascinated by the bustling traffic here. The chain of magic shops is full of all kinds of magic products.
Unlike in the countryside, where most spellcasters are wild mages, the residents working and living in the city have basically received compulsory education, and their quality and health conditions are obviously much better.
However, for Li Aozi, third-tier cities like Oran City are completely insignificant.
The reason is very simple. The urban construction of the magic-side civilization basically relies on the Mage Tower as the center, and continuously builds various satellite cities outwards. You can even see the same pattern of various urban-rural areas: There are several magic workshops, surrounded by dormitories and streets, which can be considered an urban area.
This can be regarded as a shortcoming of magic civilization. If you want to rely entirely on magic to create an automated and intelligent city, you must at least be a star cluster-level civilization.
However, precisely because of the slow progress of urbanization, there is one thing about magical civilization that technological civilization can never catch up with.
Li Ozi and his party walked off the flying carpet. Members of the Assistance Association had already booked the hotel in advance. In order to save money, the group sat directly on the green field, took out the food they had brought, and began to have lunch talking and laughing. .
Oran City, or all magic cities, has a very large green area, undulating hills, forests, wetlands, and swamps. It can be used as a scenic spot everywhere. With the addition of low-density artificial buildings, you can walk to There are scenic spots everywhere, the moist and fresh air, and the wild animals and birds that can be seen everywhere make people feel relaxed and happy.
The comfort level of the Magic City is quite high. Li Ozi, who came from Azure Star, once felt as if he was in heaven. The pleasant temperature and slow pace really made people uninterested in studying.
During the meal, some interesting episodes occurred.
Li Ozi noticed that those in the same village expressed disbelief when they saw that he was particularly popular among others.
"The people from Lanju Village just now actually told me that Leos is a big bad guy. Let us see clearly."
Kadelfi also took the initiative to joke while biting the fruit pie:
"You see, as long as you are good, you will be jealous, even people like Leos are no exception."
"No," a girl giggled: "The same thing happened to the guy named Luther, who pretended to be persuasive and told me earnestly, 'Don't believe Leo, he is just a bully!' - Giggle, Are we blind? ”
"It's just that Leos is so good, handsome and strong, and he has good looks and a good figure. Even men will like him. Anyone who would discredit Leos must be jealous."
"Maybe he just scolded Vic so much that he mistook Leoz's directness as rudeness?"
"Leotz is not a bad person."
Li Aozi's expression remained unchanged, he smiled and continued to cook in silence.
The image of a bully is deeply rooted in the people of Lanju Village. He also went through the exam and behaved differently in front of these outsiders.
Leoz can still perform better. After all, he still has to do a lot of things with this split body.
For example, here is the triggered challenge:
——————————
[伱 triggers the career mission - "Classmates are in a romantic relationship when they are young"]
[Type]: Career Achievements
【Term】: Lifetime
[Task Difficulty]: E
【Introduction】:
"The people of Tanas have strange feelings. Their average lifespan is three hundred years, but they always feel that their time is short. People are particularly sensitive to separation when it comes to sadness in spring and autumn."
"Student, this is your best time, the last time you step into a relatively pure field. I hope you will not let this time lose its color because of timidity and isolation."
I hope you can look back on this period of time with regrets but with emotion.
【Settlement Conditions】:
A. Enter a higher education institution to study, and form a student-dominated assembly group with a number of no less than 25 people, lasting at least one semester.
Reward: Expertise——[Sustainability Pioneer]
B. During this period, hold at least two gatherings and recruit two members of a similar level to you to join your team.
Reward: +20% for any attribute
C. Lead group members to collectively participate in main mission operations no less than 10 times.
Reward: [Racial Potential Optimization]
——————————
This task is not difficult, and although the reward is good, it doesn't seem like much because it takes so long.
What Li Ozi values is the reward of settlement condition A - [Sustainability Pioneer]. At present, the assistant association he has established has been established for 3 hours, and currently 27 people have joined.
After entering university in the future, he will further expand the number of assistants in the association.
One criterion for whether a civilization is developed or not is its potential to be mobilized and effectively utilized.
In the feudal era, the emperor's power could never reach the people at the bottom, but in the cosmic civilization, as long as the people above are willing, the entire civilization can be mobilized efficiently like a machine.
Although the Assistance Society has just been established, it has already shown some advantages.
Those candidates who are working alone and alone are responsible for contacting the hotel and visiting the examination venue by themselves, leaving much less time for their own review.
Luther, who was carrying three large backpacks, was lucky. He had already taken the exam three times and was relatively experienced. However, most of the students were referring to it for the first time. They were not familiar with the place, and the vast forest green area of the Magic City made it quite difficult. The tension of an adventure in the wild.
Li Ozi has no such concerns at all.
The two founders of the Assistance Association, Kadelfi and Mitty, one of them is a social terrorist (social terrorist) and the other is an acquaintance. They can solve a lot of things by just asking and asking questions. .
Coupled with the participation of other members of the Assistant Association, little time was wasted on unnecessary places during the whole process. Soon after the meal, they gathered in the hotel and gathered together to discuss and review the content in groups.
Anyone who has ever taken an exam will know that reviewing by yourself is completely different from reviewing while someone else is supervising you. Many angles can only be realized when others supervise them.
Even Li Aozi is not immune to this. He relied on pure question-sea tactics. Although he is extremely proficient in the principles of some things, when it comes to exams, he seems to be unable to do what he wants.
When each other begins to communicate and help each other, the efficiency of problem discovery becomes unprecedentedly high, especially when faced with a complex project like the Magic Qualification Examination, which involves a full 3,500 objective questions, 600 subjective questions, and 12 experimental questions. , a person can easily ignore his own weaknesses.
It's always easier to get things done when there are a lot of people, especially when people like the Student Aid Association are constrained and united by Li Ozi's [Charm], they are more concerned about where they are incompatible with the group.
People here will secretly compare each other and slip away. When they see the people next to them immersed in studying, they will feel embarrassed, so they lower their heads and start reading. Sometimes they don’t really read in, but they just do it. The look, caters to the atmosphere.
There were breaks from time to time, and someone specifically reminded them to get up and rest, do simple activities, or chat. The pressure before the exam was quickly eliminated.
The more familiar people are with the road, the more they will relax and no longer cover themselves up. In the group, because they feel the resonance and support, people will feel at ease. They will also take the initiative to help with some collective things, such as Take turns fetching water, ordering food and cleaning.
Li Aozi also noticed a few candidates who were obviously outstanding in their studies and speeches, and deliberately communicated with them more. He found an opportunity to enter combat mode, looked at their attributes, and confirmed that several of them could obviously go to college.
"I still need to train some of my core members. When the time comes, these people will be indispensable for my smuggling business."
There is no shortage of talents with higher education background.
After dinner, the members of the Assistant Association returned to their respective rooms and began to review the omissions they had discovered before.
Soon, the evening passed and it was time for the official exam.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the night before the exam, a girl developed a high fever in the middle of the night because she was too anxious. Fortunately, she was in the middle of helping the academy and was sent to the hospital in time. After casting a healing spell and taking medicine, , you can already take the test normally.
This small episode further deepened the candidates' favorable impression of the Association.
The first day of exam officially begins.
——————————
For Luther, the first day he came to Oran City was not a friendly one.
Due to the great pressure, and the fact that Leo was regarded as a star by people from other villages, with all the stars surrounding him, he felt very uncomfortable mentally.
"Just wait and see, a villain who has never read a few pages of a book will definitely be dejected when he returns to the village. It would be nice if he doesn't hand in a blank paper. I don't care about this."
But the more he said he didn't care, the more frequently he thought about being deliberately excluded and bullied by Leo during this period.
"What did I do wrong? Why can't he target me? I must not let this guy surpass me!"
Li Ozi's performance is so dazzling, coupled with his powerful "charm", every action and behavior can attract onlookers to stare intently. After gazing, they will still remember him, imprinted in their minds, forming an echo.
The more Luther thought about Leo, the more he felt that the image of 'Leo' was lingering in his mind. He became more and more impetuous, unable to concentrate on studying, so he simply threw the book away and closed his eyes to sleep.
But in the end, he had a nightmare, dreaming of Leo returning home in glory and becoming an official magician. He became a blockbuster. The girls who used to follow him and admired him all looked at that bastard Leo with admiration...
Since the members of the assistant association shared information, they knew the location of everyone's test center relatively well. They avoided the peak period early and arrived at the test center early.
The first day of testing included the spellcaster qualification test. It was not until Li Ozi had started his physical examination that Luther came over in a hurry.
The Chinese New Year starts tomorrow, so I’ve saved a batch of manuscripts and sent you a 10,000-word update for a period of time.
