Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Two and a half hours later, outside the examination room.

A Craig shattered gently.

It was not difficult to tell from his slightly dull expression that his spirit was completely crushed by the test paper.

I encountered a common language test paper in the Waterdeep examination room. The tricky test points were as difficult as monsters, and I couldn't answer them no matter how hard I tried.

Craig didn't understand why the lingua franca test was so strange.

It's not like he never went to school.

Of course, common languages ​​are taught in aristocratic schools, and there are exams every semester.

The exam questions for those common languages ​​are very simple, relying only on some knowledge points of classic works, examining famous poetry selections, and finally a long essay.

Very reasonable.

This is how other schools test common language, and it has always been like this.

Chinese, how many tricks can there be?

However, in the past 150 minutes, Craig has witnessed how many tricks there are in the Chinese language.

A very long news article, the following multiple-choice questions ask which option is incorrect.

He felt that none of them were correct, but they all seemed to be somewhat correct.

And that reading comprehension, oh, so much comprehension.

Who knows how the author expresses his emotions?

He couldn't tell what emotion the author was expressing.

Poems are no longer memorized directly, but instead students are tested on what words in a certain sentence have what artistic effect.

But the most important thing is still the composition.

Here is a short story that is like a fable. A man's horse was lost, and his father asked why it was not a good thing. Sure enough, the lost horse actually brought another horse home.

Then his father said how could this not be a bad thing? Then the man broke his leg while riding a horse...

What kind of associations and thoughts does this trigger in you?

Choose the right angle, determine the theme, clarify the style, write your own title, and write no less than 800 words.

What can you think about this?
His father is a very good fortune teller?

Craig had never heard such a strange story. If a bard told this story, he would definitely not be able to eat.

There was not much time left to write the composition, so he could only write it down based on his feelings.

After writing it, I can’t even tell whether I have gone off topic or not.

The person who came up with this kind of question must be mentally abnormal.

Craig cursed the person who asked the question madly in his heart, but he could only curse in his heart.

As a loyal customer of the Drogo Group, although there was no evidence, his intuition told him that such a weird test question was most likely made by Drogo Bengo.

While I was in a daze, I heard the voices of other candidates behind me.

"What did you choose for the first few multiple-choice questions in the text reading?"

"332, 412."

Multiple-choice options are numbered.

"Is option 4 for question 1? I chose ."

"1 is right. Option 4 says 'magic farming tools are more feasible', but the original text only mentions that magic farming is feasible, without emphasizing 'more'."

"Oh, you are right, I made the wrong choice..."

Several people were comparing answers.

Other candidates passing by kept joining the answer-checking group and engaging in heated discussions.

Craig was stunned.

What kind of person is this? He starts checking answers right after leaving the exam room. Is there no one to supervise him?

Aren't they afraid of discovering that their answers are all wrong, which would cause them to lose their temper and fail the next few subjects?

Craig wanted to leave quickly, but the sound of the group's discussion kept drilling into his ears, slowing him down.

Curiosity, strong curiosity made Craig feel conflicted about whether to run away or stay and listen.

Why not listen to it first, just in case his answer is okay.

I listened to this for quite a while.

Given that this is a specialty of Drogo's hometown, it is a completely new type of question that all the native Ferencs have never seen before.

Therefore, except for the multiple-choice questions, the other questions were not discussed to any avail.

And so it goes until the composition.

"Do you understand the essay topic?"

"I didn't quite understand. I wrote that you should learn to use the power of magic so that you won't be confused about whether something good or bad is happening."

"I think it's about the same thing. We should try to control our own destiny instead of leaving everything to luck."

“I wrote the same thing…”

A magical thing happened. Many people had the same idea about writing the composition.

Maybe it’s because the person who wrote it is different, and his mentality has quietly exploded and he doesn’t want to talk.

Like Craig.

He regrets it now.

Why didn't I think of that? It's clearly a story about trying to change your destiny.

It's all over.

What he wrote is that good or bad things may not be absolute, so we must maintain a good attitude no matter when facing good times or bad times.

This is definitely off topic.

Is my academic journey going to end in failure in the first subject?

Craig ran out of the test center in frustration.

"Master, how did you do in the exam?" The little servant waiting outside the examination center saw Craig coming out and approached him eagerly to ask.

Craig didn't answer directly, but just sighed helplessly.

He has never been one to hide his emotions.

"It's okay, young master," the attendant consoled him, "With your level, if you find the questions difficult, then others must find them difficult too."

"so what."

"So suppose, I mean suppose, Master, your score in this subject is not very high, but this exam is a ranking system. As long as you can get higher than others, it's fine. The difficulty is the same for everyone. If you score low, others will score even lower."

Craig's eyes lit up.

It seems to make some sense.

Seeing that the young master was no longer so depressed, the attendant continued, "There are still three subjects left. Those are the young master's strengths. Even if the common language is a little worse, he will definitely surpass it in those three subjects."

The entrance examination was scheduled very tightly, with two subjects per day, and completed in two days.

Rest time is precious.

The two of them went straight back to the inn, and Craig perked up a little.

He studied mathematics, physics and experiments seriously.

Unlike common language, I didn’t pay much attention to it before the exam.

He will make up for the points lost in Chinese in the other three subjects!

A day and a half later.

After finishing the last experiment, Craig walked out of the examination room.

This time he seemed to be in good condition, not gloomy, and even smiled.

Not because he did well in the exam.

On the contrary, he failed to do several things.

I can still laugh, simply because I'm used to it.

I am used to doing poorly on exams.

What should he do? He has been studying for several years and has never seen an exam of such incredible difficulty.

Several months of preparation seemed like kindergarten education before this exam.

Craig couldn't figure out what kind of student Drogo wanted.

Anyone who is about his age and can answer all the questions in the exam is definitely a genius among geniuses.

It's a pity that I am not.

If he passed the exam, it was definitely not because he did well, but because the others did just as badly.

There is still one week left before the results are announced, and the list of successful candidates will be posted online.

Most of the candidates returned early. Zhuo Ge reimbursed the accommodation expenses only until the end of the exam.

Craig was obviously not short of money, so since he was already here, he decided to stay and explore this strange city.

He had previously learned about Waterdeep on the Internet.

This is a place that can be called a miracle.

In a very short period of time, it grew from a small village into a big city.

Craig didn't believe it at first.

All cities of considerable size on the mainland, without exception, have a long history and have developed little by little.

Only after seeing Waterdeep with his own eyes did he have to admit that it was indeed a miracle, a real miracle.

Although there are still many places in the city that are under construction, one can already see how special this place is.

Extremely convenient transportation, neat and beautiful buildings with a unified style, and street lights that illuminate all the streets at night.

These are things that the Twin Towers City does not have.

And the construction site. Craig never thought that the construction site could be like this, full of order and efficiency.

He had seen the construction site where his family was building a villa, and even though it was much smaller than the site in Waterdeep, it was still a mess.

What surprised him even more was that the workers here were almost always learning cultural knowledge and even magical knowledge after work.

This could become a city without illiteracy.

Why did Drogo do this.

The fact that so many people are learning it must be because he is actively promoting it.

This was different from the education Craig had received.

The elders in the family always taught him not to let the servants be too smart, otherwise they would not work seriously.

He felt that there was something wrong with his family's approach, but he didn't know how to refute it.

After seeing Waterdeep, although he still didn't know how to prove that his elders were wrong, he knew that they must be wrong in fact.

The workers in Waterdeep are smart and not lazy. On the contrary, they are extremely efficient.

Craig loves this city.

Novel and full of surprises, it seemed like this was another world different from Feilin's.

This place is full of vitality, and every resident is full of energy, works actively, is hardworking and optimistic.

There are more magic props here than in all the other places he has been to combined, and they are not used in wars, but in life and construction.

And there are no nobles.

At least Craig didn't see him. Maybe there were no nobles here, or maybe they were hiding their identities like him.

Until now he thought he had hidden his noble identity well.

In fact, when he walks on the street, he gets a lot of attention, and all passers-by can see that he is a nobleman.

Craig thought that the people here were very friendly and that even strangers would greet each other.

Extraordinary people are no longer so special. He has seen many mages and people from other professions mixing with civilians.

It is said that as long as they can be killed with one shot, it doesn't make much difference.

As an absolute vested interest of the upper class, Craig felt that this seemed pretty good.

This made him more determined to study here.

When he had just finished the exam, he wanted to follow Mr. Benz's advice and study hard first, and then enter the Shenzhen Graduate School after graduation.

Now he has changed his mind.

He wants to study here.

If I don’t pass this time, I’ll try again next year…

While traveling in Craig, all the test papers had been marked and the ranking had begun.

The average scores were actually the same as Craig thought, no one did very well.

The difficulty of Drogo's arrangement is indeed too high for the current education level.

The four subjects were scored out of 162, with a total score of , and the final average score was only points.

Ke Jun is in his early forties.

When the results were announced, Zhuogo also came to understand the situation. After all, they were the first batch of students and they had to be taken seriously.

This average score was still within Drogo's acceptable range; he thought it would be only one hundred or one hundred or twenty points.

The highest score was beyond expectations.

A little girl chose biology and chemistry and scored a high score of 377.

Even Drogo himself couldn't guarantee it would be higher than this.

How did you pass the exam?

This is the score obtained without any practice test training.

Drogo also saw an acquaintance on the preliminary admission list, Craig, who barely passed the exam.

He specifically went to confirm whether this Craig was the rich and powerful young master from back then.

Drogo was also surprised when he received a positive answer.

Who would have thought of this.

And that kid chose physics as his subject.

Physics is good, but this theoretical department needs students who have been rich for generations.

Having a strong family background is the second most useful talent in theory, besides high intelligence.

Having money means you don’t have to worry about life, which also means you can be more accepting of not producing results for a long time.

The life of a rich person is full of room for error.

Many talented children from poor families will not pursue theoretical research. Instead, they will switch to other majors where they can make more money.

All candidates who pass the written test will also have a simple remote interview.

Recruiting high school students is the same as recruiting graduate students.

The main reason is that there are still few students at present, and the interview workload is not large, so those who have learning ability but obvious character flaws can be screened out.

For example, a potential super-male school bully or something.

During this period, except for a few teachers in charge of marking the papers, other teachers were also busy.

They need to refer to the sample papers provided by Zhuo Ge, mass-produce similar test questions, and write good explanations.

Prepare for future teaching supplementary books.

《Five years of entrance exams, three years of simulations》

Deep Water City Famous Schools Real Exam Paper 33

"Compilation of Famous Teachers' Simulation Golden Papers"

It's time to let the students of Feilin experience the horror of the sea of ​​questions tactic!

The teaching plan that Zhuo Ge came up with was quite impressive for local teachers.

It doesn't feel like a school, but more like a factory. It is rigorous, efficient, and churns out graduates in batches.

They weren't sure if this was a good approach.

Someone mustered up the courage to ask Drogo: "Principal." Drogo was the honorary principal of all schools in Waterdeep, "Isn't this arrangement of teaching too stressful and not conducive to the children's free growth?"

In Feilin's mainstream concept, learning is something that is done out of interest.

Having said that, the nobles still forced their children to study.

In response, Zhuogo held a meeting of all teachers to answer this question.

"The pressure is indeed great and will affect students' free growth to a certain extent, but these are all acceptable. For the vast majority of people, learning is not a pleasant thing. They need certain constraints and urging to ensure that they acquire knowledge. Time will prove this method."

If you ask Drogo if he was happy when he was a student.

He will definitely answer that he is not happy.

But if you ask Drogo when he grows up whether his previous studies were necessary.

He will definitely answer that it is necessary.

This model is definitely the most effective model for improving the average education level.

As long as the stress is not too great, to the point where you only sleep four hours a day and have one day off a month, it will be fine.

That's really unacceptable.

Moreover, the Zhuoge Group has a huge gap in high-level knowledge talents, ensuring that students who have studied hard can get matching positions.

You won’t end up studying for more than ten years only to find out that what you learned is useless.

Just like that, in an inconspicuous autumn, a new type of school started in Waterdeep. (End of this chapter)
