I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 137 Final Test Items
At night, the moonlight shines to the south of the county, and it is separated into blocks of frost by high felt walls.The original test preparation area was full of drums, leaving only piles of luggage covered in tarpaulins.How many bags were left at that time, and how many are still there now, not a single basket is missing.

Zheng Que was engrossed. He didn't even know what kind of wooden parts he was making, but they must be parts.The wood is jujube wood, and the shape is wide in the front, narrow in the middle, and wide in the back. Grooves are carved from the top, extending to the rear width, expanding, and chiseling a vertical rectangular hole.

Since he was eliminated, he followed the crowd and was urged to come here by the inspectors.This must be a craftsman's factory set up by the government. Carpenters and blacksmiths are mixed together. The movement of craftsmen making utensils is endless day and night. Zheng Que was at a loss.The inspector said that no one is allowed to leave this place until the exam for the prospective craftsman is over.

The most frightening thing is that the inspector also said that every time a standard wooden part is made, the craftsman must engrave his household registration and name on the specified position. All grades of the craftsman will be abolished, and the exam will not be retaken for life.

"Woo...I want to go home." Zheng Que howled silently, his face was too dirty, and the tears that fell were black, so he couldn't wipe it off because his hands were even dirtier.

In the examination room, Wang Ge had already finished making the abacus and was weaving a sewing cage with rushes.The sewing cage was the first thing she ruled out that could be transformed. She never thought that it would be the easiest to do according to the requirements on the bamboo slips.

The requirements for the transformation of the sewing cage are: adding a pattern to make it more elegant.

The modification of the straw rope was the most unexpected to her, in fact it was not considered a modification at all, but she was asked to tie ten kinds of strong grass knots.Wang Ge knows only three kinds, and he can't get out of them all.

Requirements for square-toed shoes: adjust the warp and weft ropes to increase the wear resistance by at least [-]%. Candidates can give up. If the modification is perfunctory, materials will be wasted and the grade of other utensils will be reduced.

The same is true for the armor plate: after polishing the armor plate and making it into a braid, the defense degree will be increased by at least [-]%.

Tsk tsk tsk... Wear resistance, defense, is this a game?Ancient words are quite trendy.Wang Ge was afraid that if he changed his armor, the defense of his armor would become weaker.

the next day.Some candidates finished the competition ahead of time, and there was really no way to wait. The inspectors came and went, and when any candidate had no work, the inspector would stare at the other party with shame on his face.May I ask what is the point of holding on with this embarrassment?
Wang Ge couldn't bear it any longer.She completed the sewing cage transformation, adding large rectangles and tucking small diamonds inside each rectangle.But after making this utensil, she can't sit still. She has already sorted out the materials, and the grass is smoother than her hair.

The inspector is hateful, just like the invigilator in the previous life, knowing that she can't do anything, the more she wanders around.

Alas, forget it, Wang Ge, like the other candidates who left the production area early, felt that no matter how hard he tried, he would only be looked down upon by the inspectors.But can her grades be retained?In the final struggle, Wang Ge used nine bamboo abacus to build a "chopstick arch bridge" that he often played in his previous life, and then put the heavy shaukei containing five utensils on the thin bamboo stick bridge. Go up and leave the utensil shed.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and lunch was being distributed in the rest area.Wang Ge probably counted, there were at least forty candidates who finished early, and he felt at ease.

In the afternoon, candidates came out one after another. At sunset, the fifth test item was announced to end early.The examiners assessed the grades overnight, and the examinees couldn't fall asleep. They all stretched their necks in the dark and looked into the utensil shed.

"Straw utensil shed, candidates numbered 25 and [-] come in."

Wang Ge was already mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that the one who was asked first was Suanchou Arch Bridge.

Examiner Gu: "Candidates, don't be nervous. Did you figure out how to set up the bamboo stick yourself?"

"Yes."

Wang Ge had made up the reason, but the examiner didn't ask, just said "yes" twice, and then asked the abacus: "Explain this thing."

"Returning to the examiner, this object imitates abacus board. It looks like bamboo beads are fixed in a long plate, so I call it an abacus."

Examiner Liu: "The Abacus Abacus is divided into two-color beads, which can be used for counting, addition and subtraction. Candidates, if the abacus you made only changes its appearance, it cannot be regarded as improving its function. The score will be rated as 'weak' at most. "

Wang Ge: "Return to the examiner, this abacus can be counted ninety-nine times."

"Details."

"Each bead on the upper bead counts five, and each bead on the lower bead counts one. The upper bead is used for five, and one is made for ten. Candidates request to demonstrate for the examiner, for example..."

After less than half an hour, the two examiners who could not understand arithmetic finally couldn't take it anymore and asked (thrown) Wang Ge out.What is "a few times and a few times"?What is "how much refund and how much"?My head is dumbfounded.

Or hurry up and ask the examiner.

It was late afternoon the next day.

The candidates retained in the three major test areas combined together, a total of 99 people, Wang Ge stood at the head of the team with the best score in the second test area.

In fact, the results of the first and third test areas had already come out early in the morning, but the second test area was extended all morning.The chief examiner came and asked Wang Ge to demonstrate the addition, subtraction, and ninety-nine multiplication of the abacus again, and then defined the result of this artifact as the only "strong" among all candidates.

This time, the examiner will personally tell the final competition.Wang Ge was the closest to the chief examiner, and she was full of admiration. This was the second master craftsman she had met.

If it weren't for this old man who knew arithmetic, she might not even be rated as "weak" with her confident abacus, and the examiner also meaningfully praised her "wonderful" construction of bamboo stick bridges, and praised her as a first-class craftsman.

"Candidates, let's enter the final elimination competition. You will form a two-person team with 99 blacksmith candidates, and fight against the winners of the 99 village soldiers competition."

A gasping sound!fight?Use a broom to pounce, a bamboo stick to whip, and a straw rope to rein in?Will he be slapped repeatedly?Will he be kicked into the air by others?
The examiner smiled and continued: "From now on, you can use your own skills to make an object that can help you defend, cough... or attack, or both. The materials are enough, and the tools are enough. The next day, with each other I will meet with my fellow blacksmiths and go to the township military field to the west. Do you understand?"

"Understood." The chief examiner, Ren Shan, really understood what he said. He advised the candidates to make defensive weapons, which would save them from being beaten. Don't be stupid to make offensive weapons, let alone expect to have both offensive and defensive weapons.

"The method of team formation is that the person with the best score on our side will form a team with the last blacksmith candidate, No. 2 will form a team with the opponent's No. 90 eight, and this method will be postponed. Can you understand?"

Shout out to those whose grades drop!
Wang Ge secretly thought it was bad luck.She wants to fight with the blacksmith with the worst grades and the best in the village soldier competition!
Examiner: "There are three competitions in total. As long as you win one, you will win. Candidates, believe in your hands, in your creations, and in the ability of craftsmen. You may not lose...too badly. In short, This assessment is the last assessment, and only the final [-] places will be reserved! I hope you will wait...do your best!"
