Chapter 87: The Iron Rice Bowl Becomes a Golden Rice Bowl
Xiaoling Mountain.
Bai Qi was led by Wang Ling to a conference room, and when he arrived, there were already about ten people sitting in the room.
These people were sitting together in groups of three or four, and when they saw Bai Qi appear, they all turned their eyes to Bai Qi.
Some are out of curiosity, but more are out of resentment.
Among these grievances, Wang Yun and Li Lei are naturally indispensable.
"Bai Qi, here!"
Seeing Bai Qi appear, Gao Cheng immediately stood up and waved at Bai Qi, indicating that Bai Qi should sit with them.
"Congratulations, you also ranked first in the practical test."
Gao Cheng patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and said, "I looked for you in Xiaoling Mountain for a long time but couldn't find you. I thought you didn't participate."
"Ahem, I'll be more low-key this time."
Bai Qi coughed twice guiltily and avoided Gao Cheng's sight.
On the way here, Wang Ling had briefly informed the situation of the practical assessment.
In order to avoid disputes, the two presidents simply made up false data for Bai Qi and ranked him first.
Originally this behavior was an absolute violation, but after the two presidents jointly reported the resource points that Bai Qi had obtained in the previous round, the higher-ups stopped talking.
Even if they don't give it to him, if we let this guy go in directly, he will probably still get first place. Who knows, he might do something again.
The examiners have no objection, but the candidates may not.
While Gao Cheng and Bai Qi were chatting, Zhang Kai took the initiative to walk up to Bai Qi, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hello, I'm Zhang Kai."
Bai Qi glanced at the two curse patterns on the back of Zhang Kai's hand, shook Zhang Kai's hand, and said, "Bai Qi, may I ask what you can do for me?"
Zhang Kai smiled and said, "It's normal for the first place winner of the two rounds of assessment to want to get to know each other, right?"
"I heard from Wang Yun and the others that your pet is very powerful. I am deeply sorry that I didn't meet it in the actual combat assessment, but we will definitely meet in the next ranking battle. I look forward to your performance."
After saying that, Zhang Kai returned to the Lingxi City team without waiting for Bai Qi to reply.
Is this guy here to declare war?
Gao Cheng explained: "Zhang Kai is a seed player from Lingxi City. He was originally recommended to become a professional beastmaster without taking the test. This time, it seems that he is here to snipe at our Gusu City."
"However, in the first three rounds of exams, Zhang Kai ranked second in all the other rounds except the second round of theoretical exam, so..."
Bai Qi nodded and formed a preliminary impression of Zhang Kai.
Being treated as the second for a thousand years but still smiling so happily, he is either a sinister person or a fool .
Judging from his current appearance, he must be a sinister boy.
"By the way, Brother Cheng, since you are here, you must have passed the professional assessment, right?"
A smile suddenly appeared on Gao Cheng's face. He nodded and said, "Yes, it's finally passed."
Bai Qi said: "It's time to pass. But Brother Cheng, you know so much about professional assessments, how come you failed after so many attempts?"
“Ahem…”
Gao Cheng was a little embarrassed when he heard this. Han Wei came over and said, "That's because someone's theoretical scores have always failed, so he was eliminated in the second round."
Seeing Han Wei picking up his shortcoming in front of so many people, Gao Cheng was a little angry and said, "You are also eliminated in the second round every year!"
Han Wei pursed his lips and said, "Don't get me wrong, I am the first in theory every year. I just felt sorry for you, so I took the initiative to give up the third round of exams."
"But if you haven't passed the exam this year, I won't bother waiting for you anymore. Otherwise, my parents will cut off my pocket money."
Han Wei patted Gao Cheng's shoulder, then glanced at Wang Yun, who was glaring at Bai Qi with anger, and said with an ambiguous smile, " Hey, what did you do to Wang Yun? I heard that she is a famous iceberg beauty in Lingxi City?"
Han Wei's voice was quite loud, and everyone in the cabin's attention was immediately drawn to him, and they all looked at Bai Qi.
Looking at the ambiguous smile on Han Wei's face, Bai Qi's eyes twitched slightly.
No wonder this guy has a good relationship with Gao Cheng. Most people can’t handle this kind of talk.
By the way, Old Man Qin won’t blame him for beating him up during the ranking battle, right?
Han Wei's words made the atmosphere in the cabin suddenly become strange. Fortunately, Cui Ming , and everyone's attention was immediately attracted.
Cui Ming's expression was obviously a little gloomy, and Zhang Kai and other candidates from Lingxi City couldn't help but panic after seeing Cui Ming's expression. They all lowered their heads and dared not look directly into Cui Ming's eyes.
All those present were elites from Tianxuan High School. They thought that this joint exam between the two cities would definitely sweep Gusu City and greatly enhance the prestige of Lingxi City.
But unexpectedly, the number of people entering the qualifying battle from the two cities was the same.
Although it was a draw, for them, it was no different from a failure.
"First of all, congratulations to everyone for passing the assessment and making it into the top 20."
President Qin looked at the candidates in front of him with a smile and said, "But your assessment is not over yet. Everyone should do your best in the next ranking battle and strive to get a result that satisfies you."
"This year, it is a joint exam between two cities, and it is with Lingxi City, so the gold content this time is quite high."
Because he had successfully slapped Cui Ming in the face, President Qin was in a very good mood and said, "That is why the subsidy you can receive from the association after the ranking battle this year will be twice that of previous years!"
double?
When Bai Qi heard that the subsidy would be doubled, he immediately became excited.
The original monthly average was 100,000. Now that it has doubled, doesn't it mean the average is 200,000?
If I can get first place in the qualifying battle, this iron rice bowl will be upgraded to a golden rice bowl in an instant!
In an instant, a terrifying fighting spirit ignited around Bai Qi, which surprised the people around him.
Bai Qi's actions naturally caught the eyes of others. Xia Xuan immediately looked disdainful, and Zhang Kai also frowned slightly.
Although a stable job is very good, it is nothing compared to the ranking in the qualifying battle.
As long as you can get the first place in the ranking battle, the resources and opportunities you can obtain in the future will far exceed the value of these subsidies.
If it was someone else it would be fine, but Zhang Kai really couldn't stand Bai Qi being like this.
How could I be defeated by such a greedy person?
“Ahem!”
President Qin also noticed Bai Qi's loss of composure and coughed twice to remind Bai Qi to restrain himself.
Bai Qi immediately understood what was happening, his face straightened and he returned to his seat silently, but in his heart he felt contempt for these people.
Only those who manage the household know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. Not to mention the cost of training two pets, just learning those mechanical illustrations is enough for Bai Qi to bear. How can he do this without making money?
"The ranking match will start in an hour. You can rest for a while and recover your strength."
Cui Ming glanced at the twenty contestants present, and then left with President Qin.
"Huh~ I finally have something to eat. I'm almost starving to death."
Han Wei, who had been hungry all the way, finally couldn't help but speak, "Lingxi City's breakfast is very famous, let's go and have some together?"
Gao Cheng nodded and said to Bai Qi and Lu Yuan beside him: "Bai Qi, are you coming?"
"I'm OK."
Lu Yuan made it into the top 20 this time and was in a particularly good mood. Forget about having breakfast, he would even be willing to eat a cow.
"No, I brought my own food."
Bai Qi waved his hand, took out a bottle of divine water and drank it all in one gulp, and the feeling of hunger disappeared immediately.
Taking divine water as food?
I suddenly understood why this guy's pet has an energy value of 13,000.
Seeing Bai Qi's luxurious diet, the candidates in Lingxi City suddenly became enlightened and added the name of Tianshen Water to their respective internal strategies.
