After verifying the identity of the candidates at the entrance, Hayashi River walked into the Scaled Scale Mechanic Base. The scene inside was beyond his expectations.
On both sides of the wide road were many dome-shaped buildings. Various types of monitoring devices were suspended in the air, flashing lights everywhere.
Light screens were erected everywhere, displaying the latest technology of the White Dwarf Kingdom. It was a completely different style from the ancient grayish-white building.
The passersby were all candidates, the staff of the base, invigilators, high-level mechanics, and mechanics. This was a rare sight in the outside world.
Hayashi River really wanted to take a selfie and send it to his best friend, Lu Xiong, who had lost contact with him during the extended closed-door special training. If Lu Xiong saw the picture, he would probably think that it was photoshopped, as most of the people on the street were White Dwarves.
Looking around, there was a portable hoverboard parking lot on the side of the road. Hayashi River stepped onto a hoverboard and entered the location into the automatic positioning device.
Hu …
The hoverboard started and glided toward the location sent by Senior Tong Shuan.
After gliding on the main road for ten minutes, Hayashi River realized that the Mechanic Base was really huge. With the maximum speed of the hoverboard, it would probably take him forty minutes to cross the entire place.
The scale of this base was equivalent to a town, and the entire base was the examination venue.
Twenty minutes later, Hayashi River arrived at the examination area on the west side of the base. He walked into the resting hall of the candidates. It was very lively inside, and there were hundreds of candidates gathered there.
However, Hayashi River's sharp senses made him realize that the atmosphere here was very strange. The candidates seemed to be divided into two groups.
One group was on the right, and they were grouped together. There were three layers inside and three layers outside, and the purposeful giggles of girls could be heard from time to time.
The other group was scattered on the right, and they gathered together in twos and threes. They did not interact much with each other.
In the corner of the hall, Hayashi River found his three seniors. The three of them were sitting together, looking dejected.
"Senior Dana, what happened to you guys …"
Hayashi River saw Senior Dana's ugly expression and could not help but be shocked.
He knew his three seniors well. Tong Shuan and Ou Ruoge had severe PTSD, and even the slightest disturbance would cause their mental states to fluctuate.
However, Senior Sister Dana was different. The female White Dwarf had always been very optimistic. Moreover, it was her first time participating in the examination, so she didn't care whether she passed or not.
Now that Senior Sister Dana was also like this, Hayashi River knew that he was really in trouble.
"Junior … Junior Brother … We … Sigh …" Tong Shuang stammered. He realized that he was speaking too slowly and looked at Ou Ruoge.
"Junior Brother. We're really in trouble this time. There are two pieces of bad news. "
Oujo lowered his head, and the White Dwarf said with a bitter expression, "The first piece of bad news is that the main examiner of the Cracked Scale Mechanic Base is Dean Tekso."
Hayashi River was shocked. He had heard from his seniors that Dean Teixo was the dean of the first academy in the White Dwarf Kingdom, the Forge Hammer Academy. He was an authority in the field of machinery in the White Dwarf Kingdom.
Of course, to the majority of examinees, President Teixo had another nickname — Examinee Killer!
In the past ten years, it was said that the passing rate in the White Dwarf Kingdom was limited to single digits when Dean Tekso set the questions.
That was simply insane!
This time, the examination questions in the White Dwarf Kingdom were also set by President Teixo.
However, he had heard from Teacher Tie Yin yesterday that President Teixo had guaranteed that the passing rate this time would be the same as last year's. He believed that the questions were not that crazy.
However, the fact that President Teixo was the main examiner of the Cracked Scale Canyon examination area was indeed a huge mental pressure on the examinees.
This was why even children would stop crying!
"Junior Brother, the first problem is still okay. The second piece of bad news is the biggest problem, "Ou Ruoge muttered.
"What's the second piece of bad news …" Hayashi River asked.
Senior Sister Dana raised her head and said, "Over there …"
Over there …
Hayashi River turned around and saw that the left side was surrounded by three layers of people. He happened to hear the sharp laughter of a female goblin, and his body trembled.
A wisp of mental energy flowed out, and Hayashi River 'saw' that there were two tables of examinees in the crowd. The surrounding people were looking at them with fanatical gazes, as if they were chasing after their idols.
One of the examinees was the most eye-catching. He had blonde hair and was wearing a white Mechanic robe. He seemed to be looking over intentionally, as if he could find Senior Brother Tong Shuan and the others in the gaps of the crowd.
"Who is this …"
Hayashi River muttered to himself. He looked at Senior Brother Ou Ruoge and asked, "Why are there so many people gathered together? Are they famous among the examinees in our Cracked Scale County? "
Ou Ruoge lowered his head and said, "Yes, those sitting over there are all geniuses among the advanced mechanics in the Cracked Scale County. However, there is one examinee who is not from our Cracked Scale County. That guy is Teacher's arch-enemy, the student of that old fellow Bainte, Augustson. "
Hearing this, Hayashi River frowned. He had heard about Teacher Tie Yin's arch-enemy from his seniors. Master Bainte, the manager of the Giant Stone Furnace.
The feud between Teacher Tie Yin and Master Bainte started when they were young. Both of them participated in the Mechanic Qualification Examination in the same batch, and it was said that their examination laboratories were connected.
In the end, Teacher Tie Yin passed the examination that year, but Bainte did not.
After that, from 1-star Mechanic all the way to Master Mechanic, Teacher Tie Yin was always the first to advance.
That was how the feud between the two was formed. In fact, it was Bainte who was one-sided against Teacher Tie Yin …
Over the years, the only thing that Bainte surpassed Teacher Tie Yin in was that he accepted a genius student. It was said that Augustson was one of the top mechanical prodigies in the White Dwarf Kingdom.
"The Giant Stone Furnace is in the south, right? It's so far away from here. That old fellow Bainte transferred Augustson's examination information to this examination area? Why is he so petty … "
Hayashi River immediately understood.
Tong Shuan and the other two nodded. Their expressions became more and more dejected. It was bad enough that they met Dean Tekso this year, but they also met Dean Tekso as the main examiner.
Now, they were in the same examination area as Augustson, and both of them were in the western examination area of the base.
"Junior, if we don't pass, and Augustson gets the first place in the Split Scale Prefecture, what will Teacher Tie Yin do …"
Senior Sister Dana's expression became uglier. She regretted that she should have studied more during this period of time to increase their chances of passing.
If they all failed, she could imagine how much Teacher Tie Yin would become a laughingstock.
At the same time.
In the crowd, Augustson had been paying attention to the situation. He secretly shook his head. He originally thought that the student of his teacher's nemesis would be an outstanding genius.
Who knew that when he arrived at the examination area and asked the examinees in the Split Scale Prefecture, Augustson would be greatly disappointed. The student of the Grayish-White Furnace Master was only average and not eye-catching.
As for the student that Master Tie Yin had just accepted, it was said that he had only accepted him for less than two months. Even if he participated in the Mechanic Qualification Examination this time, his chances of passing were next to nothing.
With such a weak group of opponents, even if he got the first place, there was nothing for him to be proud of.
"Forget it. I'm here to complete Teacher's request. No matter how weak the opponent is, I will break the record here, "Augustson thought proudly.
In the corner of the resting hall —
Looking at his three seniors who were about to shut up, Hayashi River knew that this was bad. If they were to participate in the examination with this kind of mentality, they would not be able to use even thirty percent of their strength. It would be a miracle if they could pass.
"Seniors, don't think too much. As long as you can pass this examination, Teacher Tie Yin will be happy."
"Actually, the Mechanic Qualification Examination is only the first stop in the field of machinery. Senior Tong Shuan, didn't you say that as long as we pass, we will be able to get a 'below average' score. Why should we compare ourselves with others … "
As Hayashi River comforted them, he used a strand of his spiritual energy to perform a mental suggestion on the three seniors.
Actually, Hayashi River was a complete layman in this type of mental suggestion technique. However, [Materialized Spiritual Energy] had the ability to create illusions. Using a strand of his spiritual energy to repeat it to the three seniors was definitely effective.
In the following period of time, Hayashi River would occasionally instill mental suggestions into the ears of the three seniors that they would definitely pass the examination.
This continued until the evening. Hayashi River's mouth was dry from all the talking. After drinking an entire bucket of water, the expressions of the three seniors changed. The anxiety and nervousness from before were swept away, and they were filled with confidence for the examination the next day.
"Yes … I, Tong Shuan … will definitely pass …" The Goblin Senior said with certainty.
"I, Ou Ruoge, will definitely pass this time." The White Dwarf Senior clenched his fist and muttered confidently.
"I will definitely pass." Dana recovered her usual optimism and straightened the muscular upper body of the White Dwarf Senior.
At the side, Hayashi River nodded to himself as he gulped down water. His few hours of talking had not been in vain. There was finally some effect.
At this moment, Dana looked at Hayashi River and said worriedly, "Junior, we should all be able to pass. As for you, just take the examination casually. Don't be nervous. It's your first time taking the examination, so it's fine if you can't pass. The main thing is to familiarize yourself with the atmosphere here. Just treat it as a formality. "
Hayashi River: "(ー `'ー)"
