Chapter 689
Except for the 1,024 places that can be traded at the beginning of the group stage, most of the other visitors got the places by "competing for hand speed".
Umbrella Airlines, the only airline with the right to fly to Penglai, only provides ticket purchasing services to those who have a quota.
Most of the first batch of tourists who arrived had grabbed personal or family qualifications by 'quick hands'.
There are only a few big guys who got in by virtue of their places in the group stage.
But no matter who you are, when you first witness the scale of Penglai and see the track connecting to the South Gate of Heaven, you will feel amazement and shock.
It can be said that everyone who has been able to come here has watched many videos related to Penglai.
But the situation in the video is completely different from the personal experience.
Especially now that Umbrella's status has changed again!
After Umbrella captured Da Piaoliang and signed the agreement, his status naturally reached the top and he was crowned king.
This situation is enough to make passengers on the plane, regardless of their identities, be cautious when getting off the plane.
Several big guys who won places in the group stage also did not show any arrogance.
Instead, he followed along obediently.
Before they had finished landing, three more passenger planes broke through the clouds and began to land.
The specifications of this vast airport are sufficient to carry out multiple batches of take-off and landing missions at the same time, and the throughput is extremely large!
"Umbrella is truly an amazing company."
After getting off the plane with his old partner Munger, a certain Fate couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, the original move was purely for physical reasons, but who could have thought that the new king would be crowned so quickly."
Both of them are well-known figures in the investment circle, with extensive connections and can get a lot of information in advance.
So they can confirm that this conflict between Umbrella and Da Piaoliang can really be considered an "accident".
This is a typical example of conflicts spiraling out of control after a single attempt.
However, the result was shocking. They were not optimistic that Umbrella could win in a full-scale collision and slaughtered all enemies!
"Unfortunately, settlement rights cannot be bought or sold."
"Yes, but I've already answered the test questions. Although some of the questions are related to brain power, reaction speed, and quick thinking, I can't compare with young people, but I should still have some chance."
Munger was a little bit looking forward to it, but a certain Fate sighed helplessly.
"If we were great scientists who won the Nobel Prize, it wouldn't be a problem if we were older, but for now, I don't see any need for our kind of industry from Umbrella. Artificial intelligence can completely replace us."
Hearing this, Munger also sighed.
"Artificial intelligence can perfectly replace algorithms and operations, but..., alas, it's a pity that Umbrella seems to have no intention of using the advantages that credit points can gain in the future to reap the benefits. Even the corresponding banking system regulations have not been introduced yet."
In fact, this was considered quite abnormal and even incredible by the two.
Financial means bring profits too quickly!
It can be said that having achieved such a dominant position, it would be simply inconceivable and a waste of resources if they did not use it to make profits!
Even if you don't want to look ugly when eating, there are gentle ways to do it.
As long as the harvest is proper and the eating is not so ugly, most of the villagers on Blue Star can actually accept it, because a stable business environment and trading system are more important!
The reason why Da Piaoliang became more and more notorious later on is that it overdid it. If it had been more polite in its appearance, stuck on the line, and not used this advantage to impose sanctions here and there, then even its competitors would have accepted a certain degree of concessions.
But so far they can't see any intention from Umbrella.
They even considered giving money to the virtual world to maintain stability.
Is he really a good man? What is he trying to achieve?
With such a strong military force, being too peaceful will prevent you from playing to your strengths!
There is no need for a company to take on responsibilities that do not belong to it!
But you can't say that this company is a saint. When they are ruthless, they are really ruthless and show no mercy.
A collection of contradictions...
"Perhaps this is why guys like us are not taken seriously by them."
…
"Passed! I passed Umbrella's settlement rights assessment! I passed! Haha, hahahaha!"
The first person who revealed online that he had passed the settlement right assessment appeared and attracted a lot of onlookers.
This may not be the first one to pass the test, but he is the first one to self-destruct!
The most important thing is that through his Weibo certification, we can see that he is a college student.
And although it is a first-class university, it is not a 985 or 211 university, but just an ordinary first-class university.
Of course, being able to get into an ordinary first-class university can be considered an elite among thousands of people trying to cross a single-plank bridge. After all, even after the expansion of enrollment, the admission line for the first-class university is still here.
At present, as long as the students of this kind of school do not play around for four years in college and study hard, their abilities are impeccable.
Many people have been making up the theory that studying is useless, but in fact, as long as college students at a key level or above study hard for four years and their majors are not bad, they can get the ceiling salary for most people in their lifetime right after graduation.
For ordinary families, this is still the main way to change their destiny.
But if this is the case, everything else would be fine, but now there is only one place out of one million in the world, which seems a bit weird!
This is not aimed at students currently in school or new graduates, but at everyone on Blue Star!
Members of various Double First-Class and top 100 international universities have not reacted at all, but an ordinary first-class university student unexpectedly revealed that he had obtained it.
This really made many people leave messages on his Weibo.
There are also many questioning voices.
In the face of these doubts, the blogger himself said very calmly
"Don't say you're weird, I'm pretty weird myself, haha."
Then various netizens also asked various questions wanting to know the details of the blogger.
After all, this is the only one who is willing to self-destruct after passing the test.
Even if Red Queen said it, even if you happen to encounter two identical questions with the same answers, there will be different results based on your personality.
But it still can't stop people's curiosity and research.
"Except for some questions about memory and logical thinking, I feel the rest are quite normal. Just answer them within the specified time. However, my settlement rights are of the lowest level. Although I have obtained settlement rights, I still need to accept some follow-up arrangements from Umbrella."
After hearing this, some people immediately became excited, because this was something that had not been mentioned in Umbrella’s previous announcement. It was an absolute inside story and currently the only one in the world!
This may be one of the reasons why the student finally decided to self-destruct!
Because you can get huge traffic, there may be a chance to monetize it.
After all, even though one has no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation in Penglai, one can never have too much money.
Once the basic problems are solved, we will have more advanced ideas.
"I have asked Red Queen about these things, and she can tell me everything. My next step is to study."
After hearing what this student said, many netizens also felt a little confused.
study?
What the hell!
"It basically means that I will have to undergo intensive online learning on the VR platform for at least three years, and there will be corresponding assessments. If I fail the assessments, my right to residency will be confiscated."
He was actually a little nervous when he said this.
Then some netizens immediately discovered some highlights and asked questions.
"Can I ask the blogger's college entrance examination scores? And how dedicated were you to studying in high school and college?"
After this question came out, many people felt a little confused. However, when they saw the blogger posting his college entrance examination results, they all had a new perspective.
This student is definitely one with extremely poor performance in certain subjects. His scores in the two language courses among his main subjects are terrible, but his scores in comprehensive science and mathematics are quite excellent.
If not, he would not have been able to reach the first-tier score line.
"Well, I was serious in high school, but I was also a little addicted to online games, which distracted me."
Case solved!
No wonder Umbrella provides such a settlement right that requires study arrangements.
This is a student with great potential and talent!
Of course, no matter how talented a person is, it will be useless if he doesn't work hard.
That’s why Umbrella has subsequent learning and assessment arrangements.
If he still uses the same attitude as he did in high school, he will most likely be disqualified.
But at the same time, this should also be a chance to bring out his potential!
After the first person was exposed, some people who passed the assessment also posted their results one after another.
Among them, most of the highest-level people who unconditionally bring their families here to settle down are already famous scientific researchers or key members of some laboratories!
These talents that have been cultivated for decades have been scooped up in large numbers by the model launched by Umbrella!
Normally, many people would probably hesitate even if they passed.
But now, after Umbrella has captured Da Piaoliang, some of the people who were originally wavering have already agreed...
