Chapters 115 and 116 test!
"Are you Da Hongmei's doctor?" The guard asked and checked the medical license, it was real, no mistake.
"Yes." Xiao Hong responded.
"Come in." The guard responded with a single word and stepped aside, then added Xiao Hong's name to the list of safe people.
Taking a stroll on campus, the intense studying of these past few days has left Xiao Hong somewhat exhausted. The weather is nice, and the coolness of autumn makes people feel very comfortable.
With the map of Xizhimen Academy in hand, Xiao Hong quickly found the location of Xizhimen Branch School. Compared to the grand Xizhimen Academy, the branch school was much smaller, but it wasn't too shabby either. Several exquisite buildings stood upright, and under one of the five-story white buildings, hundreds of new students were waiting again, bustling about.
Students in the branch school can be roughly divided into two categories. The first category is children from ordinary families, who come here to learn a skill that will allow them to make a living and earn a decent income after entering society. The other category consists of children from wealthy families, but not those born into high-ranking official or aristocratic families, who come here to obtain a diploma and show their parents that they have accomplished something.
The level of innate talent is also pitiful, at the Western Magic Academy, most students, except for those who are admitted through backdoors, have abilities around Level 5 or 6, with excellent ones reaching Level 8, 9, or 10, which determines their existence as top-notch, but they are extremely rare and usually come from the direct lineage of the major Western Magic Academies, being key targets for cultivation.
As for Xiao Hong, ironically, the first-class driver almost ignored all the top new students, and in the end, Xijin Mojun Academy didn't even want him.
At first, Xiao Hong was very angry about this, but now he just smiled helplessly.
Looking at the students on this side of the branch school, being able to reach the level of Yu Tu 4 or 5 is already considered excellent, and most are still stuck at Yu Tu 2 or 3. Even Li Le can proudly look down on his peers here.
Entering the campus, due to Xiao Hong's ordinary clothes and low-key behavior, he didn't attract any attention at all, and was once again submerged in the crowd.
Glancing around, there were still all sorts of people, but compared to those aristocratic young masters, they lacked a bit of "nobility" in their demeanor. They gathered in groups of three or five, chattering incessantly.
Just a few nearby girls, with a strong perfume smell on their bodies, made Xiao Hong feel dizzy. He glanced at them lightly and saw that they were all dressed in bright red and green clothes. One of them had thick foundation makeup on her face and was talking to the other two girls with exaggerated expressions. Her eyebrows and eyes were not bad, but she was too tackily dressed.
He had intended to hand over a promotional card for Da Hongmei's concert, but thinking twice, Xiao Hong decided against it. Here, Xiao Hong believed that less is more.
As for the three women not far from Xiao Hong, they also seemed to have noticed Xiao Hong, with their hands in their pockets, looking around left and right.
"Hey, Zhen Jie, look at that guy, he seemed to have glanced at you several times just now?" A woman not far from Xiao Hong suddenly said to the girl with thick foundation.
Looking at this woman called Zhen Jie, she seemed to be dismissive, slightly sizing up Xiao Hong, pursing her lips and saying disdainfully: "Look at how many men I have, huh."
"In my opinion, if you want to get close to Zhen Jie, you should at least be good-looking and have a monthly income of over 20,000 yuan, or be a super newcomer with a level 7 or 8 driving skill." A woman continued, her words filled with endless arrogance.
The woman who called herself Zhen Jie didn't respond, but she still enjoyed these compliments.
As for Xiao Hong, his ears were very sharp and he could faintly hear these words. He didn't show much expression, just slightly shook his head, rolled his eyes, and leaned back into the corner.
"Hey, look at him, he's even embarrassed now." The woman beside Zhen sister smiled slightly.
"Consider yourself lucky and stop dreaming of eating swan meat while holding a toad." Another woman added.
In just a few minutes, probably only five minutes later, several people dressed as teachers walked out of the building. One of them was over sixty years old, slightly bald, and wore thick glasses.
His other name is Cui Yuanbo, he is the chief professor here, and has been a professor at Xijing University before. However, due to his advanced age, he can no longer withstand high-intensity teaching, so he came here.
There was no such thing as setting up an admission device like in the Western Jinwen Academy. After a few professors briefly introduced themselves, they let hundreds of students go to the large hall inside, fill out personal information forms, submit their materials, accept class assignments, and finally each person received a paper bag containing various magic keys and identity recognition magic patterns for use on campus.
Xiao Hong had previously received preferential treatment and had been in contact with Cheng Shao Yong's assistant, and Cheng Shao Yong was absolutely accommodating. After Xiao Hong finished filling out the form, he was assigned to the Pharmacy Department Class 1, which was considered an elite class among the dwarfs.
After completing the messy formalities, Xiao Hong finally found his own classroom. The facilities were of the same advanced standard as Xizheng Magic Academy, with neatly arranged seats and retractable partitions installed between each one.
He casually found a spot by the window and sat down, but just then, Xiao Hong noticed that the so-called Zhen Jie from earlier, along with two companions, slowly walked into the classroom. However, Xiao Hong didn't pay much attention to them, as the room became increasingly noisy with more people gathering.
All sorts of people are here, some pretending to be experts, while others sit quietly at their desks, chatting softly with those around them.
However, Xiao Hong didn't respond and just sat quietly in the corner, propping his chin with one hand, gazing out the window at the scenery, waiting to see what the new teacher looked like before leaving.
Not long after, a man in his thirties, dressed in a gray suit, walked in as the students were gathering. He looked refined and cultured, but there was nothing remarkable about him.
"Is he the class teacher?" Xiao Hong wondered in his heart, somewhat disappointed. From observation, Xiao Hong could clearly see that this refined man walked with a slightly floating gait, his eyes were dull and dim, and he didn't look like someone with strong leadership or a scholar who had read extensively. The only impression he gave was that of an ordinary person.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Wang Jia, I am Professor Cui Yuanbo's assistant. He will be your class teacher from now on, but he has something to attend to today and can't make it, so I'll be explaining the basic course to you all instead. Additionally, there will be a small test, mainly to assess everyone's actual abilities, and this test will also be compared with the new students of Xijin Magic Academy, so I hope you all put in some effort."
"Test?" The students under the podium looked at each other in dismay. They had an inherent aversion to tests.
And also compared with freshmen from Seijin Academy?
"Is it? Isn't this self-inflicted humiliation enough?"
The students under the platform began to discuss and speculate, seeing that the guy in front of them was not their class teacher and seemed to be ignoring him.
Wang Jia on the podium, seeing the students' behavior, was somewhat embarrassed. He briefly introduced the course and school rules, then took out a wooden box from outside the door and absent-mindedly distributed it to the students.
Xiao Hong, who had been quiet all along, took over the wooden box that was handed to him, opened it and took a look inside. There were three blank rune stones and several materials. With just a slight glance, Xiao Hong knew that this was for crafting the second-level healing tattoo of the Rider's Slave.
Xiao Hong had also vaguely guessed it earlier, because the second-level healing potion pattern of the Yu Tu, whether it was a pharmacist or other pattern makers, was one of the basic patterns that must be mastered, just like how people, whether they were studying mathematics or chemistry, had to start with recognizing characters.
"This time the test is very simple, just try to make an excellent second-level healing potion as much as possible, and the time limit is one hour." Wang Jia tried her best to put on a gentle expression and introduced it to all the classmates.
Looking at the students below, they all seemed absent-minded, still whispering to each other. Under a hundred helpless circumstances, Wang Jia slightly shook her head. The source quality is extremely poor, and even with the best teachers, what can be done?
She took another glance at the students, and Wang Jia had no choice but to press a button on the podium. Instantly, partitions rose from the desks, separating each student from one another. The purpose was to calm them down and focus on creating their magic seals.
Looking around, he was slowly enclosed in a relatively closed space by the thin isolation board. Xiao Hong's expression remained calm, and the second-level poison mark was almost as simple as a child's play for him.
No rush, Xiao Hong stretched out his hand and took out three blocks of cargo stones that were cut very smoothly. He looked at them and found that each layer had the school emblem of Xijin Magic Academy and the words "Test Special Use" printed on it. This was to prevent cheating, as they were worried that students would bring in magic patterns made by others from outside the school.
In fact, for this test, Xiao Hong didn't pay much attention to it. However, he still planned to take out the exam questions and randomly make something up, although he was a privileged student, but he still had to consider the teacher's and school's face, it wouldn't be good if he seemed too pretentious.
Plop.
Just as Xiao Hong had just taken out the container, ready to make it, Xiao Hong suddenly discovered that a thumb-sized glass insulation box had fallen out, with several cracks on one side.
And in this thermos, there was a grain of artificial permafrost, which Xiao Hong left for occasional use. The thermos had cracks, and the insulation would naturally be greatly discounted.
"Hmm." He picked up the thermos, looked at the crack on it, and couldn't help but click his tongue. However, he didn't think much of it and casually put the thermos aside. Then, in a flash, he used the engraving knife to carve out a specific pattern on the stone, completing the entire process in just ten seconds.
Chapter 116: Announcing the Results! (Part 1) Putting down the carefully crafted carrier, Xiao Hong began to prepare the magic pattern liquid with great familiarity, still as effortless as ever.
However, at this time, outside the shield, the sound of bottles and test tubes colliding with each other was endless, and there were even test tubes falling to the ground, shattering.
"Teacher, I accidentally spilled my ink, can you give me some more materials?"
"Teacher, can I have another burden stone?"
Such voices, one after another, entered Xiao Hong's ears. Although he couldn't see the guy who called himself Wang Jia, Xiao Hong could completely imagine Wang Jia's frantic appearance. At this, Xiao Hong just smiled.
In just five minutes, two tubes of magical liquid were mixed together. He glanced at the cracked thermos beside him. Although artificial millennium ice shouldn't melt, it would inevitably sublimate over time. Now, Xiao Hong couldn't find another thermos either.
"It's better to use it up rather than letting it melt away." Xiao Hong muttered, then took out a bean-sized piece of Eternal Ice and crushed it into powder before directly adding it to the Magic Pattern Liquid.
Then inject the magic liquid into the loadstone and activate it, the whole process takes less than ten minutes.
After settling everything, Xiao Hong took a casual glance at the second-level healing tattoo on his wrist, and then put away all his belongings, including the broken lunchbox. After checking them over, he stood up, pushed open one of the doors with a partition, and walked out.
"Teacher, I've finished the test and there's nothing else, so I'll leave first." Xiao Hong said calmly to Wang Jia as he walked up to the podium.
For Xiao Hong, Wang Jia didn't know him and didn't pay attention to him. After all, the privileged students' status wasn't written on their faces. At this moment, he was busy handing out stones or other materials to each student, looking like a kindergarten teacher.
"Oh, yeah." Facing Xiao Hong's words, Wang Jia casually made such a response, and then picked up a test tube and handed it to a student.
Seeing Wang Jia like this, Xiao Hong took two steps back and then turned around and walked out of the classroom.
Walking out of the teaching building, Xiao Hong took a look at the paper bag in his hand and casually tore it open. After rummaging through it for a while, he finally found a form with detailed records of his dormitory's location.
After asking for directions, Xiao Hong finally arrived at the dormitory building where he lived. This was a relatively quiet place located on the edge of Xijin Mochen's branch school, and just one wall away from the No. 1 high-end dormitory area of Xijin Mochen Academy.
That is the most prosperous dormitory area of Xijin Mofeng College, privileged students, senior professors and even the principal all live there. It can also be considered a piece of land in Xijin Mofeng College, but the environment is indeed very quiet, because the vast majority of students are not allowed to approach that place.
Along the elevator to the seventh floor, Xiao Hong quickly arrived at the door of room 717. This was where Xiao Hong's dormitory was located. Although he knew that he might not use it frequently, taking a look was still quite necessary.
He rummaged through the paper bag again, took out the magic key and swiped it beside the door. The tightly closed white metal door opened a gap, and he pushed the door open to enter. Xiao Hong's eyebrows couldn't help but rise, revealing a hint of unexpected expression.
The first thing that caught Xiao Hong's eye was a spacious living room, with a flat sofa, exquisite audio-visual equipment, beautiful curtains, and several solid wood chairs arranged in a staggered manner, simple yet elegant.
All living facilities should be available.
She walked into the living room and made a circuit, pushing open a delicate glass door with a casual hand.
"Wow." Xiao Hong couldn't help but exclaim, only to see that inside was a fully equipped tattoo room, a professional tattoo workbench, and all sorts of instruments, everything he had always wanted, but never had the chance to get, and his home space didn't allow it.
In fact, the pattern of this building is the same as that of Chai Feng's, in other words, the building where Xiao Hong is now located was originally part of the No. 1 dormitory area of Xijin Magic Academy, and later, Cheng Shao Yong constantly complained to the Hongbo Group, saying that the Xijin branch school was raised by a stepmother.
The boss of Hongbo Group had no choice but to cut off a building in the No. 1 dormitory area and allocate it to Xijin Branch School.
As he walked in front of the window, Xiao Hong could clearly see most of the movements in Dormitory Area No. 1.
Xiao Hong didn't leave the dorm until afternoon, feeling a little reluctant to part with it. He was preparing to return to Da Hong Mei's journey to continue working. On the way, Xiao Hong suddenly thought of another issue, that is Luo Xue Ning and the masked man.
Logically speaking, this matter has nothing to do with him, but once they really make a big move, it's hard to say whether the city gate will lose fire and the fish in the pond will be affected. After all, Luoxue Ning's destination is Xijin Magic Academy, and it's very likely that it's in the No. 1 dormitory area, which is just next door to him.
"It seems that some self-defense preparations are necessary." Xiao Hong thought to himself, and then boarded the magic train.
At the same time, in a hall at Xijin Mianhua Academy, all the newly admitted freshmen who had been successfully enrolled had arrived.
In the front row, there were even high-ranking professors from Chaisang and Xiqin, as well as over a dozen privileged students. Chai Shuang was also among them. In addition, there were several senior figures, with the highest ranking being Miao Chen, a fourth-year student who was also a direct descendant of the family and an absolute key cultivation object of the Hongbo Group.
At this moment, he was calm and collected, looking at the stage, where the admissions director He Yunzhi was talking about the school's history, with a head of flowing long hair that made him look extra elegant.
Of course, Mu Xi'er, who was holding the ball, was also among them. She had already become one of the new privileged students and was the focus of attention in the audience. Some boys who were just falling in love couldn't help but drool when they saw her.
"The process of our school's founding is just like that, so it's only natural for all of you seated here to feel proud. Now, let me publicly announce the results of the new students' entrance exams. I took a rough look at them earlier and they're quite impressive." He Yanzhi said with great enthusiasm.
At the same time, behind him, a metal box about one person tall slowly rose, inside which was the second-level healing rune made by the new students of Xijin Magic Academy. On the other side, an instrument similar to a target also slowly rose, this was the instrument for detecting the second-level healing rune, the detection was divided into two major items, namely the effect and the number of uses.
"Now let's invite our department head, Han Chen, to test the scores of these new students." He Yuzhi said, and then his gaze fell on Han Chen in the first row.
Han Chen's expression remained unchanged as he walked up to the stage, then personally opened the metal box. Inside, a large number of second-class magic tattoos were neatly arranged, with each tattoo having the creator's name tag on it, clear at a glance.
In order, take out a second-level healing potion from the metal inlay, and simply from the knife work, it is very old-fashioned and can be called impeccable.
"This is the magic pattern of Zhang Jialuo, a first-year student in Class 4, with a driving skill level of 8." After introducing it, Han Chen drove this battle pattern and released a light green beam against the detector next to him. Then he put this magic pattern into the card slot of the detector.
After a few seconds of analysis, the final result appeared on the large screen: Healing degree 136 points, available uses: 38 times.
Seeing such results, the entire auditorium was abuzz with whispers, it's clear that being able to create a second-class medicinal tattoo to this extent is already quite impressive.
However, what surprised everyone was yet to come. When Han Chen took out the second medicine pattern, the instrument displayed a number of 162 points and could be used 44 times.
"Wow."
Seeing such a number, the people present couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, their eyes filled with astonishment. To be able to create a second-level magic pattern like this is already abnormal, especially for a newcomer.
"This demon pattern is the best among the new births, a masterpiece of Feng Shang, who has reached the tenth level of demonic cultivation." Han Chen said, looking at the surname and name tag on the demon pattern.
As soon as Han Chen finished speaking, the freshmen present turned their eyes to Feng Shang sitting in the second row.
Feng Shang at this time did not show too much arrogance, only a slight smile, slightly stretched out his hand, hinted, looked very low-key, but in this low-key, there is endless self-confidence.
Sitting in the front row, center position, Chai Sang also had a smile on his face. Feng Shang could be said to have personally taken care of him and promoted him all the way. This kid was very promising, and now he had already made up his mind to cultivate him well in the future, making him a symbol of Xizhen Magic Academy.
Then, Han Chen began to test them one by one. Although they couldn't compare with Feng Sang's stunning ones, the worst of them were above 80 points and the ones that could be used the least number of times still had 20 stocks.
Just from this point alone, it can be seen how excellent these newly-born qualities are.
Not long after, the results of the new-born medicine pattern were displayed on the large screen on the podium one by one. The dense data was clear at a glance, and automatically ranked in order. Feng Shang's name was among them, standing out from the rest.
"To let everyone see the effect of the small second-order medicinal tattoo, we now invite Chai Shuang to demonstrate it on the spot." He Yanzhi suddenly had a burst of enthusiasm and suggested.
As soon as He Yunzhi's words came out, the students in the whole field looked at Chai Shuang with their eyes fixed on her. For Chai Shuang, the heavenly darling of Xijin Magic Academy, they naturally knew that only she had received 100% of Chai Sang's personal transmission.
As she saw the crowd's eager and adoring eyes fixed on her, Chai Shuang naturally enjoyed this feeling, for it was in such gazes that she had grown up all along.
