Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dong!
Dong!
Hundreds of fireworks shot up into the sky, exploding into beautiful balls in the azure blue sky.
Accompanied by the sound of cannon salutes, cheers, shouts, and screams, the examinees filed out of the 'narrow' room and swam into the 'wider' world.
In the second row of the spectator stand, Area A.
Chen Siwen, who was originally nervous, saw Chen Yu's figure and her nose turned sour. Tears immediately rolled down her cheeks. "Mom, it's Chen Yu. It's Xiao Yu! Mom! He's advanced, he's advanced!"
Mother Chen naturally saw it as well. Her hands were shaking so much that she could barely hold the corner of her clothes. She just kept nodding, nodding, and nodding...
In the front row.
Sister Qi was cross-legged, back against the seat. She elegantly lit a cigarette, and light smoke drifted out...
"Hoo..."
With the smoke rising, and her sexy lips...
...
"Come on!"
Dong! Dong!
"Come on!"
Dong! Dong!
"Come on!"
Dong! Dong!
Under the rhythmic beating of dozens of big drums, more than 60,000 audience members shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky.
In Chen Yu's memory, he had been here when Chen Siwen took the college entrance exam two years ago.
But only from the perspective of an examinee could he feel the 'waves' coming from all directions
Chen Yu reached out to pick his ears and walked out of the door. He immediately looked at the audience seats in Area A.
He saw Chen Siwen waving at him forcefully. The makeup on her face was all messed up from crying.
Chen Yu grinned. Just as he was about to raise his hand to respond, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Sister Qi, who was 'under' Chen Siwen.
"F*ck? Why are they sitting together?"
"Hehe..."
Chen Yu seemed to hear Sister Qi's sneer...
He also saw her slowly raising her middle finger...
"Emmmm... It's over."
...
There were a total of six arenas in the large stadium outside.
The large arena in the middle.
And the small arenas surrounding it.
The large arena would only be used during the official competition on July 8th.
And today's arena competition would only use the five small arenas surrounding it.
Each batch would have five groups, and the competition would be held at the same time. The time limit was 15 minutes.
Not only was the tempo fast, but the audience from various regions could also enjoy watching it.
It was worth mentioning that in order to prevent the examinees from suffering too many casualties, the system would prioritize the matches between students from the same school...
1:10 pm.
The mayor, department heads, and others entered the venue and arrived at the VIP seats.
1:15 pm.
The grading examiners from all over the country entered the venue.
1:20 pm...
"The group arena is about to begin."
"The group arena is about to begin."
"All examinees are invited to the waiting area!"
"I repeat, all examinees are invited to the waiting area..."
The sound of the broadcast resounded throughout the entire stadium.
All the examinees who had advanced immediately ran to the waiting area of their respective middle schools.
The waiting area was the place where examinees waited for the competition.
Other than the school's leadership, massage staff, and medical staff, teachers were not allowed to enter.
Compared to the overcrowding of the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 High Schools...
The waiting area of No. 7 High School where Chen Yu was located was deserted.
There were only a dozen or so students who had advanced...
"Are you all here?" The principal of No. 7 High School picked up a list and ordered with a serious expression, "Give the students a massage to relax their muscles and bones."
As soon as he finished his words, all the technicians rushed forward and forced the advanced examinees into their chairs. Then, they began to knead and stretch them.
"Students, the match rules of the group arena match give priority to matching with our school." The principal picked up the list. He spoke quickly. "We know the strength of our own people. Once the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, the weak side must immediately admit defeat to avoid internal strife and casualties."
"But..." One of the examinees hesitated, "The examiner said that if we don't show our strength, even if we win three times, we might not be able to advance."
Pa!
The principal rolled up the name list and slapped it directly on the head of the examinee. "Are you stupid? What do you mean you might not be able to advance?"
The examinee who was being beaten: "Ah?"
"We won't be able to advance at all!" The principal waved his hand and said in an awe-inspiring manner, "I've been the principal of No. 7 High School for so many years, but not a single student has advanced!"
Everyone: "..."
"This is my experience. There are hundreds of people, but only 12 have advanced. What do you have to advance with? Kind eyes?"
Everyone: "..."
"Don't think too much. If you can win one round, it's one round. Avoiding internal strife is the way to go!" The principal gave a firm order and immediately opened up the name list. "I'll start the roll call now to see who hasn't arrived. **."
"Here!"
"***."
"Here."
"Chen Kaizi."
"Here."
"****."
"Here..."
After calling out the names, the principal heaved a sigh of relief. "There are a total of twelve people. All of them are here, and none of them have been left behind. Everyone, remember, after the match, do not wander around. Come back immediately and arrange your tactics!"
"Understood."× 13
"Now, all of you take a break. Save your strength and wait for the match."
"Understood."× 13
Nodding his head, the principal put away the name list and turned around to find a chair to sit on. However, he realized that the chair was already occupied. "En? Is there no place for me to sit?"
"Principal, there's no place for you to sit?" The director of education beside him brought over a box of mineral water and placed it on the ground. "Why don't you sit here?"
On the College Entrance Exam arena, the top three students were the top three.
Even the principal was embarrassed to compete with the examinees for seats.
"That's not right." The principal frowned. "Isn't it counted as good? Twelve students advanced, and we borrowed thirteen chairs from the officials. How can there be no seats for me?"
The dean turned around and glanced at them. He scratched his head. "They're all full..."
"That's not right."
The principal walked to the far left and stretched out his chubby fingers. He checked them one by one. "One, two, three, four... eleven, twelve, thirteen. Eh? Thirteen?!"
The leaders of No. 7 High School were shocked.
"Thirteen?"
"Isn't it twelve?"
"How could it be thirteen..."
The principal took out the name list in a flurry and called out the names one by one."**!"
"Here!"
"****!"
"Here!"
"Chen Kaizi."
"Yes!"
"***..."
From top to bottom, all the names were called out. The principal was dumbfounded. "That's right, it's twelve?"
The dean was at a loss. "It... It's just twelve? How could there be thirteen..."
"...Come, all students, those whose names have been called, stand up." The principal held up the name list and read it again. "**!"
"Here." A male examinee stood up.
"****!"
"Here." A female examinee stood up.
"Chen Kaizi."
"Here." Chen Kaizi stood up.
"***."
"Here..."
One by one, the students stood up.
When all twelve names had been read out, only one person remained in the thirteenth seat, enjoying the professional skills of a technician.
"..."
Everyone's gaze was fixed on that person..
Chen Yu: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Chen Kaizi: "?!!"
"En..." Chen Yu calmly cupped his hands and said with a serious expression, "Everyone, what do you think of the negative reviews of cyberpunk 2077 after it was released?"
Everyone: "..."
