Chapter 1201.
Although the Empire’s technology was extremely advanced, with the Star Ocean Network covering all star clusters and cities.
However, in terms of education, it still followed the ancient traditions, with the vast majority of students studying in schools, classrooms and martial arts halls, communicating with their teachers face-to-face, rather than taking the most cost-saving online classes.
Wang Chen was currently a third year student at the Third Secondary Academy of Changhai City, his primary and intermediate knowledge had long been completed, and his physical arts and battle techniques had reached the second rank level.
The only thing left in his daily curriculum was the preparation and review for the Higher Martial Exam.
Pinpointing the time, Wang Chen arrived at the academy’s martial arts hall.
At this time, the martial arts hall was already very lively, with one to two thousand third year students who were about to take the entrance exam like Wang Chuan gathered together.
The martial arts teacher responsible for today’s lecture had not yet arrived, so everyone sat around in groups, either whispering or laughing, exchanging enthusiastically.
The topic that the students were talking about naturally couldn’t be separated from next month’s Higher Examination.
The empire attaches great importance to the annual higher examination, the content of the examination is naturally kept strictly confidential, and the examination center is changed year after year, so even the vast majority of nobles can’t find a loophole.
Over the past few hundred years, the number of heads that have fallen because of the Higher Examination is enough to stack up into a hundred-meter-high Jing Guan!
Not many people dared to violate the majesty of the Imperial Supervisory Court.
Therefore, although it was said that there was a strict hierarchy within the empire, the Higher Examination had undoubtedly given countless commoners a chance to change their destiny, and had also allowed the middle and upper classes of the empire to constantly absorb new blood, greatly slowing down the speed of decay and evil.
The young faces in the martial arts hall were filled with longing and desire for the future.
Although only about 30% of them can pass this exam!
Wang Chen had just found a seat and sat down when the personal terminal he wore on his wrist vibrated.
He clicked it open and realized that it was actually a message from Mu Yu: “Brother Lu Yuan, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have broken your heart like that yesterday, but please believe me, you’ll always be the best brother in my heart!”
Even through the holographic screen, Wang Chen could smell a strong tea flavor.
He returned, “Uh-huh.”
Mu Yu: “I know you’ve always taken very good care of me, and I’m really grateful and touched in my heart.”
Wang Dust got impatient, “What’s your business?”
It was probably because the other party did not expect Wang Dust’s attitude to be so cold, and it took half a minute before he messaged back, “Brother Lu Yuan, my classmates and I are planning to enroll in a college entrance exam sprint tutoring class, but my tuition fee is still short of 2,000, can you lend me a little bit?”
There was also a churlish emoticon added at the back!
Wang Chen was speechless.
This Mu Yu really treats the predecessor as an ATM machine.
Having said such heavy words only yesterday, he came to borrow money today, clearly eating up the licking dog and not afraid of flipping his face at all.
He thought about it and checked his bank account through his personal terminal, then extracted all the records of money transfers to Mu Yu and edited them into a long table.
A few dozens or hundreds, as many as one or two thousand, and the final tally made Wang Dust take a shock.
28609.50 star dollars!
In just three years, the original body had actually lent Mu Yu nearly thirty thousand star dollars.
Knowing that the monthly salary of an ordinary worker in Changhai City was only three to four thousand star dollars, all the money Lu Yuan had paid was all from his hard work, plus the savings he usually saved!
Currently, he only had 395.70 star dollars left in his Imperial Bank account.
Mu Yu asked for two thousand!
Without any hesitation, Wang Chen sent the list of transfers to the other party, “Return this money to me, and we’re clear.”
In fact, this money was merely a direct loan to Mu Yu, and the gifts that the original body had purchased for her over the years, as well as snacks and toys and such, were not included at all.
Mu Yu didn’t reply for half a day, presumably already confused.
Wang Chen also didn’t pay any more attention to the other party.
In fact, he had ways to force Mu Yu to pay back the money, such as hanging the transfer records on the academy forum, or sending it to the latter’s boyfriend to ask for repayment and so on.
But Wang Chen knew very well that if he did this, the original body would not be able to support him in heaven.
Every drink and peck has its own destiny, so Wang Chen didn’t mind his own business – as long as Mu Yu didn’t bother him anymore.
At this time, a burly man wearing a grayish-white martial arts uniform appeared on the martial arts stage.
His pair of leopard eyes looked around, and the murmurs in the martial arts hall quickly disappeared.
This was none other than the third year’s martial arts teacher, Jiang Zhenping, a Battle Cleric with D rank strength!
Only to hear him say in a deep voice, “Students, we are watching the content of the Higher Martial Examination of the Azure Star Cluster in the year 579 of the Sacred Light Calendar today, coordinates EK390 Eco-Experiment Star ……”
As Jiang Zhenping’s magnificent voice resounded in the martial arts hall, a huge holographic display appeared behind him, projecting a view of the surface of a planet.
The Empire’s Higher Martial Examination was completely practical in nature, with interstellar transport ships first sending candidates from the same star cluster to selected ecological experimental planets, and then uniformly dropping them onto the planet’s surface.
Each candidate was allowed to carry a set of armor and weaponry, as well as a life-supporting first aid kit.
The content of the test was actually very simple, it was to hunt and kill the mutated creatures that inhabited the Ecological Experiment Star!
The mutated creatures of the Eco-Experiment Star were genetic creatures created by the Empire’s Supreme Academy of Science, and they possessed a variety of strange abilities, making them ideal for prospective combatants to hone their combat skills and guts.
Everyone’s performance in this test will be graded by the super mastermind, which will ultimately determine everyone’s performance!
Due to the fact that the number of ecological experimental stars that the empire has transformed is large and increasing, the terrain, environment, and climate are often very different, and the mutated creatures that have been naturally cultivated are also not the same.
Therefore, the academy let the third year students who were preparing to participate in the higher examination familiarize themselves with and master some of the ecological experimental stars and mutant organisms through holographic videos.
The EK390 Ecological Experiment Star that Jiang Zhenping was narrating about was 3.7 light years away from the Azure Star Cluster, its planet diameter was over 17,000 kilometers, its land area accounted for more than 90% of the entire planet, and it was inhabited by countless mutated creatures.
Although it was said that the probability of the venue of this year’s Higher Martial Exam being placed on the EK390 Ecological Experiment Star was very low, this martial arts teacher was still very patient in explaining the situation of this planet, including the mutated creatures within.
The things he said were very relevant, covering survival, fighting, dodging, self-rescue, and so on on an unfamiliar planet.
The dry goods were full!
The Higher Martial Exam was different from the Higher Literature Exam, the latter was taken in the incomparably safe and habitable planetary city, the former was something that could potentially cost one’s life.
Jiang Zhenping was saying all of this to help everyone pass the exam safely.
Wang Chen listened with great interest, even ignoring the frequent vibrations of the personal terminal on his wrist.
It wasn’t until the break between classes that he opened it to take a look.
Then he pulled Mu Yu into the blacklist!
