Rune

Chapter 45
As I said before, the exams in Daqin Academy are divided into four items, three civil and one military, and there are many subjects for students to choose.

Among them, the three civil examinations accounted for 90% of the score, while the last one was only 10%.

The students in the school will definitely not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future, but there are big ghosts raging in the south of the Great Qin, which leads to no matter how big the exam is, there will always be some martial arts exams in it, which is also a kind of respect for the Qin army on the border. By the way, I also tell the students all over the world not to forget the Great Qin soldiers who threw their heads and blood on the Huangquan battlefield.

And Xu Baiyan chose four items: [Poetry] [Music Theory] [Spelling] and [Bow Shooting].

The first three items were decided by him and Xie Qingwan after a lot of research, and they were the ones that Xu Baiyan could do best.

As for the fourth item, Xu Baiyan casually chose a bow to shoot.

In fact, there are also sword skills, swordsmanship, spears and halberds in the martial arts test, but students all over the world didn't have any expectations for this martial arts test, so they just chose it randomly.

For Xu Baiyan, it doesn't matter what he chooses.Therefore, these four subjects were decided in this way.

Not long after, all the students gathered in the examination room.

This examination room is set in a square building with white walls and black tiles, with a strong school color. The interior is so spacious that it is a bit empty. There are only tables and chairs, and the adjacent ones are not far or near. If you want to write on something other than the paper, the rune will immediately glow, so pass the note, write the answer on the table in advance, these operations are basically eliminated.

Xu Baiyan sat in his seat, feeling uneasy.

There was a green shirt student in front of him, about the same age as himself, but very thin, not tall, but with fair skin, he looked like a rich man.

"A little nervous?" The young master turned his head, looked at Xu Baiyan and asked with a smile.

"Ah."

"How many times did you take the test?" the young master asked again.

"the first time."

"Haha, you should be nervous, but I wish you a good grade."

"Thank you very much." Xu Baiyan replied with a sincere smile.

After a few simple chats, the papers were handed out, and the chattering in the room was immediately quieted down. The invigilator also walked quietly and slowly among the tables and chairs with his hands behind his back.

In this first subject, the test is arithmetic.

The topic is very simple, just one.
[Today on Wangwang Island, set up two tables with the same height of three feet, and the front and back are separated by a thousand steps, so that the back table and the front table are straight.In the past, the watch walked 120 three steps, people's eyes landed on the ground, looked at the island peak, and joined with the end of the watch.From the back table, walk 120 seven steps, with one's eyes on the ground, look at the island peak, and join the end of the table.What is the height of the island? 】

Xu Baiyan frowned, thinking to himself, the exam in the imperial capital is indeed much more difficult than the usual spells.

This question is not just an arithmetic problem of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but mixed with physics and geometry.

Some depressing hums could be faintly heard in the examination room. It seemed that other candidates were also troubled by such a question.

But Xu Baiyan didn't feel so uncomfortable. After all, he has received modern education. Although he has forgotten all about it these years, he still has some impressions of this kind of geometry in junior and senior high schools plus sequence equations.

Immediately
"First draw two vertical lines, then set the height as H, and the length from point A to point B as 1000"

He murmured in his heart, and calculated on the straw paper.

While doing the calculations, I rejoiced in my heart, fortunately, I chose 'Spell Number'. This was the first time I experienced the advantages of a time traveler in the past ten years.

After a while, he was done, and then put back the pen and ink prepared in the examination room, got up and walked to the front desk.

During this process, there were obviously some exclamations from the audience, and I don't know if the student was done so quickly or gave up.

The invigilator was also a little surprised, this time the math problem was not easy, I didn't expect that someone could do it so fast.
Under the gaze of many, he handed in the paper.

I just wanted to turn around and go out
Suddenly, I heard a few whispers from the quiet classroom again.

Xu Baiyan looked over, and then found that the young man sitting in front of him also got up to hand in the paper.

He walked towards him, and when the two of them crossed their bodies, they met and smiled.

After handing in the test papers, the two of them walked out of the examination room one after the other in silence with a tacit understanding.

outside the house.

"I've always thought that my spells are excellent, and my calculations are extremely fast. I never thought that you are even more powerful." The man smiled and said, "I don't know what the final result is...?"

Get the answers right after the test!

This is the plot that the top learners love the most and the scumbags hate the most.

"1255 steps." Xu Baiyan replied.

The man nodded: "Haha, it's the same next time."

As the first two people to answer the exam questions, the answer is the same, which is naturally considered good news
"Brother, you can count so fast, don't you know your honorable name?"

"I'm Xu Baiyan."

"Well, Bai Yan, Bai Yan, what a good name." The man thought for a while, and suddenly realized something, and exclaimed: "It seems that this year, there is another talented person in the Chaodu Academy."

Xu Baiyan smiled awkwardly, and didn't bother to explain.

"I wonder what brother Xu's next subject is?" the man asked again.

"Poetry"

"Haha—Brother Xu is a great talent, of course it is poetry." The man said: "But the next subject is history."

"History?" Xu Baiyan was stunned, this subject is considered a very partial subject.

After all, the Great Qin Empire has lasted for thousands of years and has never changed dynasties, so there is basically nothing missing in the historical records. Few people in this world will deliberately dabble in the subject of "history".

"Well, I have some interest in the history of Daqin, so I won't go with Brother Xu."

"Well, see you by fate." Xu Baiyan cupped his hands.

Just like that, the two met by chance, bowed to each other in front of the empty examination room of Chaodu Academy, and then went their separate ways.

In fact, it has been more than half a month since I came to the court, Xu Baiyan feels that the people here are really good, it is not like the rumors at all, the people's eyes are higher than the top, and the government is bullying.

On the contrary, the people here are always proud and casual. For example, Dong Fugui I met in the music workshop before, and the young man I met just now. I can tell from the conversation that they must be of extraordinary family background. But they are all approachable.

Just thinking of this, Xu Baiyan suddenly realized that he hadn't asked the other party's name yet.So he turned around, but the young master had disappeared.

He smiled and didn't care. He said that this was just a chance meeting. If Xu Baiyan was lucky enough to be admitted to Chaodu Academy, then maybe the two of them would have some intersections. It became an inconspicuous episode in the lives of the two of them.

"I wish you a good grade too." Xu Baiyan whispered to Kong Wu in front of him, and then walked towards the examination room of his next subject.

And at the same time.

The door of an inconspicuous small room at the edge of the examination room was pushed open.

The thin young man who had met Xu Baiyan just now walked in, and there was a smile on his face, not sure if it was because he did well in the exam.

"Master. You are back." A soft and flattering voice sounded in the room, and then a slightly hunched figure trotted over in a hurry: "Master, have you drunk? The pear porridge is ready in the house and it is still hot." with"

Although the speaker had a weak and feminine voice, he was a man. He looked about 40 years old, and his skin was well maintained. Even with a smile on his face, he still couldn't see too many creases.

"Uncle Gao, this is not at home, you don't need to bend over all the time." The boy said.

If Xu Baiyan was here, he would have recognized at a glance that this man who changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book was the Mr. Gao whom he had seen on the way to the imperial capital.

"You can't make it, whether it's at home or outside, the rules are the rules, and you can't mess it up." Master Gao said, his body bent even more.

The thin young man smiled, and no longer tried to convince the other party, he was in a good mood today.

I stayed at home for too long, and I came out to get some fresh air, and I took a test with great interest. I calculated very quickly, and the answer should be correct.

This brief relaxation made his tired and tense body a lot more comfortable.

"My lord, do you still want to take the exam for the next subject?" Mr. Gao asked tentatively seeing that his young master was in a good mood.

"No, it's interesting to take an exam with many students, but it's still an exam after all, and the questions are too simple, which is a bit boring." The person said.

If other exam students heard this person's words, they would definitely be furious. It's too contemptuous of him to give such a difficult question a 'boring' evaluation.

"Chaodu Academy's recruitment is aimed at the people of Daqin, and the young master naturally finds it boring to do the subjects of the people." Gao Daren said.

That's right, problems like high mountains and long rivers are indeed a bit petty to do. The real magic number should be the count of tens of thousands of Qin troops killed and injured in the Huangquan, the annual harvest of the world's granary comes from income, and the great Qin century The mining of water and rocks, the treasury to relieve disasters and the people, and the calculation of food and wages on the battlefield.

Compared with these, a simple imperial capital recruitment examination question is indeed a bit inconspicuous.

But speaking of this, the young man seemed to suddenly think of something, and he smiled.

Unexpectedly, I was not the first to complete such a simple topic.It seems that, immersed in those complicated calculations all day long, it is a bit uncomfortable for the most basic questions.

"Master, you have been smiling all the time, but what interesting things have you encountered?"

"Haha, I met an interesting person, but he's just an ordinary person." The young man said, "By the way, is that girl Dodo awake?"

"I woke up for half an hour this morning, but the talisman hasn't completely dissipated, and I fell asleep again. I guess I won't be able to fully wake up until night."

"Yeah." The young man said: "Remember to tell her after she wakes up that she must call me 'Master' outside, don't make a mistake."

Master Gao smiled wryly: "The slave will do his best."
