Reckless Through The New World

Looking at the heavy door in front of him, Owen Lucis took another deep breath, and then let it out slowly, using this action to resolve the anxiety in his heart.

In a few minutes, this door will be opened. Scholars from all over the world will participate in the first Tara Khan Supreme Imperial Examination hosted by Count Tara Khan, and strive to surpass others and become Successful and lucky.

"We are very lucky to be able to participate in this first Supreme Imperial Examination. So we must seize the opportunity. If we wait until the next time, the competition will be much, much fiercer!"

The city of Tarakhan is very large, but the circle of scholars is not large. Before the start of the exam, everyone also communicated frequently.

During the exchange, this point of view has been raised more than once.

No one who has the ability to pass the regional screening and directly take the highest imperial examination is mediocre. Although there are no famous scholars among these people - people at that level certainly do not need to pass the imperial examination to prove themselves, and Earl Tarakhan will never use the examination to insult them - but not being famous does not mean that they are incompetent, on the contrary, At least from Owen's point of view, among the group of scholars who participated in the imperial examination, at least three or four were definitely first-class learned men, but they were not yet famous.

According to the analysis of scholars, Tarakhan's education level and their effective training system will definitely make great progress for the group of people who go to the place for training. And after this imperial examination, the Tarahan imperial examination will also attract more talents. In the next highest imperial examination, the difficulty will be greatly increased.

Of course, the most terrifying thing is the next time, when a large number of talents trained by Tara Khan will also participate in the Supreme Imperial Examination, and the intensity of competition will be unimaginable now.

Irving is too lazy to think about the future. All he has to do is grasp the present.

The ancestors of the Lucis family once left a family motto "Do well now, don't worry about others". When other businessmen were striving to pursue business opportunities, the Lucis family relied on solid business operations to accumulate wealth bit by bit, from one business to the next. Street vendors have slowly grown into well-known merchants in eastern Molai.

Before and after, but only three generations.

It is a pity that the wealth of the Lucis family is still very limited after all. As a child of the branch, although Owen has shown a smart mind since he was a child, this has kept him away from the business circle. Apart from a small seafood shop, he has no other possessions. And this commonplace shop can only provide him with basic study expenses.

Whether it’s martial arts or magic, it requires a lot of money—of course, you can spend little money, it’s just a matter of risking your life or having an amazing talent.

Although Owen is smart, his talent in martial arts and magic is not good, so he can only retreat and choose to become a scholar.

At least, scholars just need to be smart.

But Owen is not content to be just a scholar. Learning and research is fun, but applying what you have learned is certainly more fun. It's basically impossible for him to apply what he has learned. The Lucis family's fortune was too short to integrate into the local high society, and they did not have the opportunity to become officials.

If it goes on like this, no matter how unwilling he is, it can only be like this. But when Tara Khan announced the imperial examination decree, he immediately saw an opportunity. So I asked my cousins ​​for help, mortgaged the seafood shop's income for the next year, collected travel expenses, and came to Talahan to take the test.

In order to ensure his state during the exam, he deliberately arrived half a month in advance. After half a month of adaptation and recuperation, he is now in the peak state, and he will definitely be able to test the best level!

Owen took another deep breath, calming his pounding heartbeat.

In his vicinity, scholars who are not usually seen swarmed into groups. Some of the talkative mouths kept chattering and annoying, but more people were like him, trying to stabilize their emotions and adjust their state.

Perhaps, those chattering guys are also using this special way to decompress themselves...

Time passed little by little, and when the bell ringer of the Tarakhan Clock Tower rang nine o'clock in the morning, along with the drumbeat of the announcement, the door that had been closed for many days was finally opened.

Inside the gate is a wide road, and rooms adjacent to each other on both sides of the road.

"Each candidate has one room, and check in according to the number they queued up in advance." The official in charge of management said loudly, "The written test lasts three days, and three meals are provided. If there are any special requirements for diet, for example, do not eat spices, do not eat If you have other special needs in life, please register in advance. After the test starts, it is strictly forbidden to leave the test room without permission. If you want to go to the toilet or go out for other things, you can ask Soldiers on patrol report, escorted by soldiers."

He paused for a few seconds to make sure everyone heard clearly, and then raised the volume and said, "Three days can only be shrunk in a small examination room, and I have to face difficult exams. It will cause a lot of pressure. If anyone feels uncomfortable during the exam, they must report it to the patrolling soldiers immediately - there will be another time for the imperial examination, but there is no next time in life, remember!"

Upstairs quite far from the examination room, Panda watched from a distance as the candidates searched for their examination room in a chaotic manner, hurried in, or hurried out to register again, with a headless appearance, and couldn't help laughing.

"Their imperial examinations are much stricter than our college entrance examinations." Beside him, Eric sighed, "If we were in one room during the college entrance examination, the difficulty of cheating would definitely skyrocket."

"Even if you have to prepare for the examination room," Panda said, "it may be necessary to build several such houses, which will only take a few days a year—even if you include the high school entrance examination, it will only take less than ten days, which is too wasteful. already."

"Actually, it's not necessarily very wasteful." Eric thought for a while and said, "Assuming a city of 200,000 people, there are about 3,000 or 4,000 people who need college entrance examinations every year. Even if rural areas are included, the maximum is 10,000 people. Almost there. The average person is about ten square meters, which is 100,000 square meters. Because buildings can be built, so even if you add redundancy, a standard stadium is almost enough. Even if it is a little more, anyway, for As far as we go through the previous state of national real estate, it really doesn’t matter.”

"This dedicated examination room can also be used for other examinations." Aaron said, "Civil servants, professional qualifications... More formal examinations can be taken in it."

"It doesn't seem like a waste when you think about it, why doesn't the country do this?" Panda thought about it and asked with interest.

"It is estimated that the problem of room and board is more troublesome. It is terrible to think about room and board for 10,000 people."

"There must be a lot of people who don't eat pork, maybe they won't let the people in the surrounding rooms eat it," Loma said with a smile, "it may be necessary to build a special building for them..."

So the topic gradually drifted away, and the traversers' usual off-topic style was once again carried forward.

While they were discussing these irrelevant topics, the door of the examination room was closed again, and the announcement drum at the door rang again, telling people that Tara Khan's first Supreme Imperial Examination was officially started.
