Chapter 171 contains deep meaning
Time passed in a flash, and fifteen days had passed since Mo Lan broke through and became a fourth-ring mage.
"Zou Peng, we will officially start recruiting members tomorrow. How are your preparations going?"
Mo Lan walked down the Mage Tower and asked Zou Peng beside him.
"We worked overnight and have prepared an examination room that can accommodate a thousand people at a time . Together with the twenty waiting areas, it can accommodate 20,000 candidates at a time. This should be enough.
And the test paper..."
Zou Peng took Mo Lan and walked outside until they came to a mountain on the shore of Jinghu Lake.
There was a cave inside. When I went in, I saw rows of woodblock printing machines working at full capacity, with scrolls piled up on the side.
Mo Lan picked up the test paper with the ink still wet on it, took a look at it, and nodded.
"Well, it feels like the papers from decades ago. The papers that our teacher printed for us were similar to this."
When Zou Peng heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly thought of something.
“By the way, I, the printing staff, can basically guarantee that the questions will not be leaked.
But we are taking the exam in batches after all. Although the questions before and after are slightly different, the question types are similar after all. Are you sure no one will post the questions on the forum?
Or send it to someone privately? "
Mo Lan shook his head.
"It's impossible to prevent it, even if we organize all the people to take the exam in the same batch. In fact, leaking the test questions is a small matter . The questions we designed have certain requirements for improvement experience and have higher requirements for the candidates' knowledge reserves of spell models.
So, if you know it, you can do it without looking at the questions in advance. If you don’t know it, it’s useless even if you look at it in advance. Let alone one or two hours in advance, even if you look at it in advance one or two days in advance, you can’t make up the gap. If you don’t know it, you don’t know it.
What needs attention is the candidates taking the same exam. After all, their questions are the same. If someone has contacted in advance and wants to copy homework... we can only disrupt the candidates from different regions to take the exam in batches, and try to avoid people who know each other taking the exam together."
"But eventually there will be someone together, so what should we do?"
Mo Lan shrugged and said indifferently.
"Then I hope the person who copied my homework has some skills. My question has a standard answer, but no standard process.
If one candidate copies the paper exactly the same... then both candidates will be disqualified.
Why do you still play the role of a wizard if you are so stupid? Just pay more attention when marking the papers, haha.
No way, no way, there really can’t be someone who would copy something exactly the same, right? "
Zou Peng looked a little strange when he heard this and rolled his eyes.
"What do you think? Wish them good luck."
“Are all the staff ready? Invigilators, staff, guides.
By then, the number of participants in the entire event is destined to exceed ten thousand, or even tens of thousands.
These are only the mages who meet the requirements to take the exam. If we also include the mages who do not meet the requirements, the friends and relatives who come to join in the fun, and the players who come to watch.
I am not surprised at all that there are more than 100,000 people in the entire Jinghu Lake area.
I've read your plan, it's feasible, are there any other difficulties ?"
Zou Peng rubbed his eyebrows when he heard this.
“It’s not a big problem. No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter, which screens out more than 90 percent of the people.
If this group of people starts a live broadcast, they will probably settle down.
As for those who intend to sign up, since they are here to participate, they will definitely obey management. At least they have a sense of weakness and are not difficult to manage.
So the problem is not big. The main thing is you. You should try to make it as fair as possible, at least make it look very fair on the surface. As long as it does not cause public outrage, everything will be fine."
Speaking of this, Zou Peng felt a little regretful.
"The time is still too short, if there is more time.
You can create a large anti-magic force field on the field, and every one of these mages will be quiet and obedient, and you can punish them however you want."
Mo Lan suddenly felt someone was looking at him, which made him turn his head and look Zou Peng up and down.
"You seem to be thinking about something bad?"
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense, you are an arcanist, the forbidden magic field can't suppress you, I'm not that stupid."
"Oh, that's right, but did I tell you what you were thinking about?"
Zou Peng fell into silence and spoke weakly.
"Wait for me to make excuses."
"Hmm? Any news? What, an accident? I'll be here right away!
Mo Lan, I have something urgent to do. I'll leave first. Contact me by message."
Zou Peng's face suddenly became serious, he turned around and ran, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was out of Mo Lan's sight.
"Shit, luckily I ran away quickly, otherwise I almost let it slip."
Time passed little by little, and many people had already arrived at the shore of Mirror Lake. However, they found that a large area was tightly surrounded by stone walls and could not be entered.
With some disappointment, they came to a mountain with a better view. They skillfully assembled the tents they carried with them, set up the small pot, and started camping. When they lowered their heads, they overlooked the entire examination room below.
The examination room was surrounded by a circle of tall stone walls and had only two entrances and exits, the front and the back.
Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see that the examination room is also divided into two circles. The outer circle is like the viewing area of a stadium, with all the stepped chairs.
It was divided into ten areas with words written on them. I squinted my eyes and took a closer look.
"Area One...Area Two, this should be the waiting area, right?
The candidates are monitoring the progress of the exam. The organizer is very thoughtful. But isn't he afraid of the questions being leaked?"
In the middle of the waiting area is a square examination room with stone tables and chairs neatly arranged horizontally and vertically.
A passerby on the top of the mountain saw this and said with admiration.
“Look, this examination room is straight and level, which means that President Mo Lan is rigorous and follows the rules in everything.
The stone chair means that Mo Lan is like an indestructible stone, standing at the forefront of the mage's research work, unshakable.
Twenty-five horizontally and forty vertically. Twenty-five and four are a very clever combination. Four twenty-fives make one hundred, and forty twenty-fives make one thousand.
This implies that Mo Lan has more than 100 members in the Mage Association and is pursuing 1,000 members. It also implies Mo Lan’s earnest hope for the Mage Association and future mages. It also implies…”
At the foot of the mountain, Mo Lan inspected the entire venue and counted the seats.
"Well, they are straight and level, neat and tidy, and look comfortable. There is just enough space to put a thousand of them?"
Xu Zongxin next to him smiled and shook his head.
"No, the flat land beside the lake is a perfect square, so we fenced it off and arranged a set of chairs at regular intervals. There are more than 900 sets of chairs in total, horizontally and vertically.
The main reason was that it looked a little untidy and not an integer, so we expanded the space to make it an even number, 1,000 sets.”
At the top of the mountain, the passerby nodded slightly after saying this.
"How could Mo Shen arrange things randomly? His every move and every arrangement has a deep meaning, but he is too far ahead of us for us to understand.
Alas, you can imagine how lonely Mo Shen is, ahead of the entire era, no one can understand him, alas, pitiful, lamentable, respectable! "
Down the mountain.
"By the way, Zong Xin, haven't you caught the monster yet?"
"Instructor, no. I was busy setting up the exam room during this period. The few monsters I encountered were too powerful to catch. They either ran away or were killed."
"Well, okay, let's do this. Tomorrow a roe deer will get heatstroke. Let's eat it tonight. A roasted whole roe deer, oh, the taste is just average. The main thing is that it will get heatstroke tomorrow."
Mo Lan licked his lips.
“It’s just so-so.”
