Chapter 177 Preparing for Class
Before parting, the receptionist of the college handed Yiman a sealed package.

"Someone designated it for you." The receptionist shrugged and said, "Don't ask me who left it for you, because I don't know either."

Yiman opened it to see that it was a thick book.It records the files of all the students and teachers of Tongtian Ability Academy, including the beggars at the school gate, and all the people who can be related to the academy.The information of their family members, lovers and even mistresses are all on it, very detailed, and catalogs are made by category.

Needless to say, it must have been sent by someone sent by Zixing Tianfeng. After weighing it, Yiman could have a file that weighs seven or eight catties. He thought that it must have taken a lot of effort to make this file, so he asked Nina in confusion. : "What is the use of this information?"

"Haven't you heard of it? Information is also power. The more you know, the easier your work will be." Nina replied ambiguously, but Iman didn't go into it and threw the file into his own space.

There are a lot of things to do, such as dormitory keys, assigned classes, college canteen card collection, physical examination and a series of tedious procedures.Yiman had never entered the Cang Qiong Academy before, to be precise, he had never entered a regular academy in the Han and Tang Empires.I was very uncomfortable, and when everything was done, the day was almost over.

It has to be said that the education of the Han and Tang Empires was indeed not as good as that of New Loulan.In the Green Willow Villa where Iman grew up, there is only one teacher, and he can also go to the church in the town to listen to the pastor's free lectures. The courses are only some literacy classes.Most children only need to know how to read and write. There are many martial arts masters in the villa, and children are more inclined to find a master to learn martial arts.

They are all driven by the tide of beasts, which is why there is a phenomenon of emphasizing martial arts and despising literature. In Yiman's impression, only those children with magical talents have the opportunity to go to school.

Iman was not gifted with magic.

The dormitory is for 18 people, with very strong stone beds and three floors.It looks quite old, the edges and corners have been polished smooth.It is covered with a thin layer of wooden boards and sparse straw mats.

"This broken straw mattress cost me ten silver coins. It was in the Han and Tang Dynasties. No one wanted ten copper coins." Yiman couldn't help but secretly cursed in his heart. If he didn't buy a straw mattress, he would have to sleep on a wooden bed. In the college, all board and lodging is free, but some daily necessities are not provided, such as bedding and toiletries, which are extremely expensive inside the college, and they cannot be bought outside.There is only one set of clothes a year, and they cannot be damaged.

The students have no source of income and no time to work to earn money. The only way is to curry favor with those noble children and ask them for alms.Yiman finally understood why in the promotion test, those commoner youths would rather kill each other than do anything to noble children. It turned out that they had developed a class concept from a very young age.

Sleeping on such a stone bed will catch a cold. Like other warriors, Yiman has always cherished his body.From the space, he took out a thick ice bear fur blanket and spread it on the bed.This kind of blanket will not be cold when sleeping in the ice and snow.

Low-key, everything should be low-key, the priceless ice bear fur blanket, with a layer of tattered cotton cloth sewn on the outside.

In the evening, Iman went to the cafeteria. The civilian students lined up in a long line, orderly, and it was Iman's turn within 10 minutes.I glanced at the food provided for free, like pig food, unknown rice noodles and rotten vegetable leaves stewed together.Suddenly lost my appetite.

Yiman returned to the dormitory without taking a bite, took out a roast chicken from the space, and shared it with Nina.

"What kind of life is this! Is it going to jail?" Iman said indignantly. Nina explained while eating delicious chicken legs: "This is the life of ordinary children in the Three Kingdoms of Heaven. Once a baby is born, it must be soaked in boiling water. In the hot spring, it has been tested. Generally, it is said to bid farewell to parents after the age of five, but most of the civilian families are unable to raise their children. After the baby is born and tested, it will be provided by the sky until the age of five, but it is not free and needs to be paid back in the future. That's the famous first debt."

"The first debt? Child support expenses from birth to five years old?" Yiman found this country more and more incredible.

"That's right, the interest on this debt increases by [-]% every year, and it's the kind of revolving interest. This is the main source of income for the sky. In fact, the vast majority of Zimu people will never be able to repay this debt for the rest of their lives. Nina explained, and suddenly frowned: "Iman, your room smells bad, hurry up and find a way to change it."

"Change to the room where the nobles live?" Yiman curled her lips and said, "You think I don't want to, I asked, five gold coins a month for a single room, thirty gold coins a month for a suite, I'm afraid of revealing my identity, so I can only Endured."

Nina said earnestly, "Yiman, in Xinloulan, if the common people want to live well, they must curry favor with the nobles."

"Pull them up!" Yiman said angrily, "No, I'd rather live in a room with 18 people."

"Hee hee!" Nina said with a narrow smile, "If you want to make full use of your strengths, with your looks, it's more than enough to be a good face for a noble lady."

Yiman had a chill: "Let's forget it."

After eleven o'clock at night, the roommates in the same dormitory rushed back, dragging their tired bodies, very quiet.

"Hi everyone, my name is Iman Hod." It was the first time to live in a group, and Iman wanted to build a good relationship with his roommates.

"Stop rambling, go to bed right away." One of them shouted at Yiman.

Seventeen roommates climbed onto the bed and were dreaming in seconds.

"How could this be?" Yiman asked in his heart, am I so unpopular? "

Nina giggled in Iman's mind and said, "Stupid, you will know after reading tomorrow's class."

Iman took the class schedule, which recorded the class schedule for the day:

Wake up at 03 o'clock, the time for washing is undecided, but the meal will be served on time at 30:3000. During this period, I have to complete the [-]-meter running book, otherwise I will not have breakfast.

From 45:[-] to [-]:[-] p.m., there are densely packed courses.The seventeen major subjects include: fencing theory, long-distance running training, cooking recipes, flower arrangement techniques, painting history and philosophy, harp studies, literary appreciation, arithmetic, geography, history, machinery and magic, alchemy knowledge, magic theory, witchcraft theory, Ocean knowledge, ability classification, dragon language overview.

"Damn, there are so many subjects, why do you even have Dragon Language?" After reading it, Yiman was confused for a while. For the past year, he has been practicing hard, and he feels that he has been fully loaded, but the training time has never exceeded eight hours.

From [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, minus the short break in between, the study time is actually more than [-] hours.

Compared with the children of Xin Loulan, it turned out that I was not working hard enough!Yiman smiled bitterly in his heart.

In Iman's mind, Nina said in a deep and deep voice: "See, this is the elite education system of New Loulan. There was once a cardinal in the temple who was dumbfounded after seeing it. He wanted to try it in the Crusades. The alliance promoted this educational method, but it was rejected as soon as the proposal was made, and the position was almost lost. Parents of the Crusader Alliance said that our children only need to devote three hours a day to study one of the subjects. "

Early the next morning, a deafening bell rang in the corridor.Yiman, who was still asleep, turned over and went back to sleep after being woken up.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up." Nina yelled in Iman's mind: "This is not the Silver Hook gambling house where you do your best, and you are not the gambling tycoon of Ann's Rest City, you are Tongtian Commoner students of the Ability Academy are not qualified to sleep in."

Yiman got up reluctantly, turned around and ran to the sports field surrounded by people, and started a routine 3000-meter long-distance run every day.

As a seventh-level martial artist, the 3000-meter run was like a game, but he felt sleepy for a while, and Yiman just moved forward mechanically.

"Damn it, you actually fell asleep while running." Nina yelled in Iman's mind, "Just like you, thanks to being born in the Han and Tang Dynasties, if you are from Xinloulan, you are trash, rubbish." But still wait until the finish line Only then did Iman wake up.

In fact, more than half of the civilian students who were hungry could not reach the finish line in time and did not have breakfast.

Some people suspected that this was a way for the college to save food. For this reason, Tongtian Ability Academy protested, saying that only in a difficult and excellent environment can real talents be cultivated.

"Hurry up and eat, class will start in fifteen minutes." Nina urged in Iman's mind.

Yiman rubbed his eyes, went to the dining hall sleepily and got two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, without paying attention, took a bite, but didn't move.

"Huh!" Yiman finally woke up a little, only to notice that the steamed buns were black-faced, almost as hard as a stone, and there were only a few grains of rice in the porridge.

"How can you eat this!" Iman poured out his bitterness to Nina.

"Stupid, look at how other people eat." Nina felt a little resentful of iron being weak.

I saw that the children of common people smashed the steamed buns with stones, and then swallowed them directly with porridge.

Yiman took out the introduction of Tongtian Academy sent yesterday, turned to one page and cursed: "Didn't it say that the budget for breakfast is fifteen copper coins? Fifteen copper coins can sell two meat dishes in the Han and Tang Dynasties. A nice bowl of wine."

"The budget for dinner is still [-] copper coins. It's not like you didn't miss it yesterday. Remember this is Xinloulan, not Hantang." Nina said displeased.

"I thought it was just an occasional meal to experience life." Yiman put the bowl and chopsticks away: "Anyway, I don't eat."

Iman started looking around.

"What are you looking at?" Nina asked strangely.

"I want to see where the noble children eat." Yiman laughed and said, "I have learned the ability to carry food since I was a child."

"You are stupid! Noble boy, you won't get up before eight o'clock."

"This! This! Only civilian children get up at three o'clock!"

"Because we are civilians, we have to work harder."

"Heaven wants to send a great mission to the people, it must first torture their minds, starve their bodies..."

This is the slogan shouted by the students before Yiman's first class.

In the classroom, the desks and chairs are of different sizes, and the larger ones are bigger than the pallet Iman used to work on, almost as large as a bed.Those are the desks of the noble boys, all empty with name tags on them, and the commoner's is just a small desk.

Tongtian Academy of Ability is the best school under the sky, the choice of most noble children.But the number of noble children is too small, accounting for only about 5.00% of them.The college's motto is equality for all, mixing nobles with commoners.In fact, the real meaning is that there are no common people to bully, and those nobles are unwilling to attend classes.

On one of the large tables by the window, there is a name tag with two words written on it: Peach Blossom.

It's Taohua's seat. By the way, Taohua is also from aristocratic background, so she hasn't come to class yet.That big table was more than enough for three or four people, since she wanted to protect her, she had to be nearby, Yiman unceremoniously moved the chair to Taohua's table.

For a moment, all the poor children in the classroom looked at Yiman differently. There were a few sympathetic looks, most of which were gloating, but no one said anything to him.

It's none of your business.

After five classes, Yiman didn't pay attention to what he was talking about, and was in a state of half asleep and half awake. The Wenqu star Nina yelled in his mind and automatically ignored it. Nina, who was angry, simply ignored him.

A crisp bell rang, which was very pleasant to the ear. Yiman finally regained his energy. It was already the sixth period, and it was almost nine o'clock. The noble children came to class.
