Chapter 124: Admission Exam for Observing Students

Zhuang Yu waited anxiously for the representatives of the Faceless Tribe to arrive. When they came, they would receive an unexpected gift.

He instructed the scouts reporting the news, "Send someone to ensure the safe arrival of the Faceless Tribe to Crimson Great City."

With the possibility of interference from Red Great City, the situation was becoming more serious. Zhuang Yu had to expedite the process of winning over the border Tribes, and the Faceless Tribe was the beginning. He needed to establish an example.

...

The next day, it was bustling outside of Crimson Great City. Beneath the city gate, there were many young people carrying packages. Their eyes gleamed because today was their big day. Whether they could enter the school to study depended on today.

Zhuang Yu stood on the city wall, looking at the young people below. He couldn't help but marvel. After such a long time, they could still stand firm under the city gate and stay here, indicating their steadfast pursuit of education.

It was impossible not to be moved. They were all good students, enduring such hardships. If they entered the school, they would surely study hard.

These young people indeed had a kind of stubbornness in them. Why couldn't they enter the school like other students? Why couldn't they persist? They didn't want to come to Crimson Great City in vain and return with nothing.

Most importantly, the more they interacted with students, the more they envied them. In students, they saw something different from themselves. That difference couldn't be described in words, but it was the unique temperament of scholars, applicable in any era.

It could be said that any current student from the school, thrown into any other group, would definitely be noticed first. This uniqueness of scholars was so prominent in this era. In ancient times on Earth, scholars were revered, and in this backward era, they were even more outstanding.

These young people persisted because they wanted to become people like the students. Every day, they earnestly listened to Hong's "teaching" until now.

Zhuang Yu looked at the people below the city gate, their eyes fixed on him without blinking. This kind of persistence was somewhat awe-inspiring.

Today, even the merchants from various Tribes in the market were scarce; they all came to watch. Many of these young people were their fellow Tribesmen, and they witnessed their persistence. Once known for causing trouble within their Tribes, now they showed a persistence that they hadn't expected before. They also hoped that the children of their Tribes could successfully enter the school.

For some reason, they clenched their fists, even more nervous than the students. Becoming a student of the school, in their eyes, was not just about these young people anymore; it was also about the glory of their Tribes and a competition with other Tribes.

Zhuang Yu looked at the sky and said, "This exam is designed for the admission of observing students to the school. Everyone knows what observing students are, right?"

Without waiting for a response, Zhuang Yu continued, "Observing students can enter the school to study like other students, but they are only allowed to listen and cannot ask questions. In addition, the tuition fee for observing students doubles, and mission points are halved. There are no textbooks, no school uniforms, and no accommodation arranged..."

It could be said that the conditions were extremely harsh. Originally, Zhuang Yu intended to use such stringent conditions to eliminate most people, but now it seemed that things didn't go according to his plan.
