Volume 3: Star Tower Chapter 4: Bring a Cheat Sheet to the Exam
The lunch was not very sumptuous, basically just a bowl of noodles, a bowl of soup, a few very hard flatbreads, and a plate of half-cooked beef.
The taste of the noodles couldn't be described as very good, just slightly better than instant noodles. However, none of the people were picky and finished what was served in no time.
This surprised the instructor of Yisu Academy a little.
He had already investigated the identities of Jiang Wuyan and Meng Fenghua. They were almost all clan leaders, so they had no complaints about eating such a "travel meal".
Tang Zheng made the instructor even more worried, because he spent money like water and always went in and out of the best restaurants in Fei Shi City. He seemed to have a close . The instructor was also worried that this student would be difficult to deal with along the way.
In the past, when the Aristocratic Academy went to the Sushiwenxing Tower, it had encountered difficult students.
Those with better tempers may just not be able to eat, while those with worse tempers require the instructor to spend some time to "subdue" them. Anyway, teachers have seen countless people and will not be surprised by any situation.
However, the instructor had never encountered a group of students like this. They finished their food without saying a word and then went upstairs to rest immediately.
It would have been fine if it was just Tang Zheng and his group, but even a little girl who was only eight or nine years old who was accompanying them was the same and finished her noodles without saying a word.
After they all went upstairs, the instructor took off his hat and said to the three drivers who were resting on the chairs, "Their future achievements may exceed all of our expectations..."
"Come on, when did you take your students to the Star-Seeking Tower and not say something similar?" Several drivers laughed.
"Hey, I'm serious this time."
"Hahaha, you said it was true last year too!"
…
After resting for only about half an hour, the instructor called them up.
There were not many customers in the small restaurant after the lunch break. They just found a table and sat down. The instructor in charge spread out the map of the Star Tower.
No matter how big the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower is, it has not been fully explored even after so many years. Therefore, the map is not a complete map without gaps, but a map made up of small separate pieces.
When Tang Zheng saw these maps for the first time, he had the urge to play a jigsaw puzzle. However, after just a quick glance, he discovered that no two pieces of these small maps had overlapping edges, so he gave up the idea of playing the jigsaw puzzle.
There are a total of one hundred and forty small maps drawn on the same paper, which looks a bit crowded.
The instructor in charge spread out the map and said, "We have half an hour to set off. During this half hour, you can ask me questions about anything you didn't understand this morning. However, I will not answer questions that have already been answered by other instructors before we set off."
Tang Xiaotang pouted.
Originally, the course before departure should have lasted seven days, but because of Lu Wantang and his team's tomb robbery, and Li Xiaoren's death, their preparation time was shortened to three days, and a lot of content was not actually explained clearly.
"I have a question." Jiang Wuyan was the first to raise his hand.
"Please go ahead." The instructor nodded.
"The information we have says that the Star-Seeking Tower can determine our origins and the status of our star veins. In other words, when we enter the Star-Seeking Tower, our exit direction has already been determined. So, is there any direct relationship between this and our performance in the Star-Seeking Tower?"
"Of course there is a direct relationship." The instructor replied: "The Star-Seeking Tower can tell you what suits you, not what you like. The Star-Seeking Tower's role is to provide guidance, not to force you to adopt a certain method of attracting stars, or to follow its guidance to determine your future path."
"In other words, even if someone like Tang Zheng is a Sun Star Blessed Person, but he doesn't want to bring in too many Sun Stars, it doesn't matter?"
"No, this is still related. The Star-Seeking Tower will directly improve your strength based on your performance... Note that I said direct improvement. The strength of this improvement depends on your performance, but the direction of the improvement is the most suitable aspect for you..."
"So, if the path I want to take is different from the path that the Star-Seeking Tower thinks is suitable for me, it will be very troublesome?"
"If you firmly express your obsession in the Star Tower, the Star Tower will be able to adjust... However, because the Star Tower is only a tower after all, this adjustment will be limited."
Jiang Wuyan nodded, indicating that he had finished asking questions.
This is also the issue that Tang Zheng is more concerned about, and the instructor's answer is relatively clear.
If they can be compared to a car, and "becoming a strong man" to a destination, then the Star-Seeking Tower is the navigation system from the starting point to the destination, planning a clear and appropriate path for every warrior.
In fact, this navigation system is very advanced. If it knows there are potholes on this road, it will improve the car's passability. If it knows there is a river on this road, it will add a wading device to the car...
Moreover, this navigation system does not prohibit deviation. If the car firmly expresses that it wants to take another route, the Sushiwenxing Tower will recalculate the route. However, the recalculated route will definitely not be as easy to follow as the originally planned route.
"Yes, I understand." Tang Zheng also raised his hand.
"You ask." The instructor nodded at him.
"Well...why don't you ask first?" Tang Zheng thought about the questions he was going to ask and felt that it would be better for Xiaotang and the others to ask first.
However, Tang Xiaotang and Meng Fenghua both shook their heads, saying that there was nothing to ask for the time being.
Tang Zheng then spoke up: "What I asked may be an off-topic question."
"Well, go ahead." The instructor nodded again.
"Will someone search you before you enter the Star Tower? Is there anything you can't bring into the exam room... oh no, I mean into the Star Tower?"
"Body search?" The instructor was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean? Why do we need a body search?"
"That is, are there any rules for entering the Star-Questioning Tower? What items can be brought in and what items cannot be brought in..." Tang Zheng flipped through the information, "It doesn't seem to be mentioned here."
The instructor was stunned for a moment before he asked carefully, "What do you want to bring in? The Heavenly Secret Transmission Crossbow? The Star Track Cannon?"
Tang Xiaotang burst out laughing.
Tang Zheng's face darkened: "I would like to take those things, but I have nowhere to put them."
"If you have a way to bring it, you can." The instructor looked puzzled, "That's the Star-Seeking Tower!"
"Well, that's the Star-Seeking Tower... so?"
"So, what can't you bring?"
"Okay... got it." Tang Zheng burst into tears.
He just wanted to take Huangfu Xuanluo's diary in and read it slowly.
In an examination room where even airplanes and cannons could be driven in, he asked questions about whether he could bring a cheat sheet, and he must have been quite drunk.
The instructor looked at the time and said, "If anyone has any questions, please continue to ask."
No one else raised their hands, but Little Bell, who couldn't enter the Star-Seeking Tower, looked at the instructor expectantly, her watery eyes sparkling brightly: "Can I ask a question?"
