Chapter 70: The Second Test (Thanks to book friend Tianqiong Yunhai for the alliance leader

"Whose family’s Mantis Fist is played like this?!" The Deputy Sect Master widened his eyes. He had also heard of Mantis Fist, which is a fist technique that imitates a mantis.

It is a fist technique that imitates a mantis, not a fist technique that turns into a mantis!

In order for this test to reach the expected standard, he repeatedly deduced and even let several flexible-minded high-level officials in the sect try it, confirming that except for the standard answer he gave, there is absolutely no second solution.

Now two answers outside the standard have popped up at once, and he cannot accept it!

The Sect Master looked at it more openly: "You change your perspective and think about it. He just looked at the mantis a few times and realized the Mantis Fist. The Jin general in history also had no martial arts talent, which shows that this Lu Yang has extremely high martial arts talent. In the end, he entered the Dao with martial arts, and martial arts practiced into spells. This is a genius that can be met but not sought!"

The Deputy Sect Master was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the Sect Master who looked serious, and asked: "Are you serious?"

The Sect Master thought to himself, of course I made it up. In fact, I didn't understand how he turned from a human into a mantis, but as a Sect Master, I can't show ignorance in front of subordinates.

The Sect Master nodded and said: "Naturally, I am serious."

After the Sect Master said this, the Deputy Sect Master felt better. Since it is a genius that can be met but not sought, it is reasonable to find a way to break the situation by mistake.

Barely acceptable.

"Those who can pass have passed. Let’s end the first test here." The Deputy Sect Master said. There were hundreds of thousands of pictures on the water surface, and the pictures recorded everyone’s performance.

Only a small number of people realized perseverance from the spider, and a very small number of people realized strategy from the mantis. Most people were depressed in the cave, became deserters, and were killed by Liang soldiers in the chaos of war, dying without a name. The Liang soldiers didn't even know how high-spirited the person they killed had once been.

"The second test begins."

"The second test is to let the examiner leave you sincerely."

Such a sentence appeared in everyone’s mind, forgetting the cause and effect, only remembering that they must try their best to pass the second test.

Yan Wangsun’s brain was a little dizzy. He had no impression of what happened before, only vaguely a very familiar person asked him where he was from, and he said he was from Huangyue City.

"I am Yan Wangsun, and I am currently applying for a position at the Luodi Jinqian Chamber of Commerce. I need to pass an interview. The interview requirements cannot tell others about the interview questions." Yan Wangsun sorted out the information he currently knew.

Even if it wasn't required, Yan Wangsun wouldn't tell others about the interview questions. This is building a bridge for others, and it has no benefit to himself.

Yan Wangsun found himself sitting in the first position, next to a burly man wearing a Confucian robe.

"My name is Man Gu, what’s your name?"

Yan Wangsun didn't answer because the examiner was calling his name.

As soon as he entered the room, Yan Wangsun noticed a ball of paper under his feet, threw it into the trash can, and then prepared for the interview.

The examiner was chubby, his clothes were very reluctant to wear, and he always had a smiling face: "Yan Wangsun, right? You go to the market now and see if there are any potatoes for sale?"

Yan Wangsun left honestly. After strolling around the market, there was only one place selling potatoes. After he came back, he said "Yes."

The chubby examiner asked again: "How many potatoes are there?"

Yan Wangsun had no choice but to run out again and came back saying: "There are eighty catties of potatoes."

"What about the price?"

Yan Wangsun scolded in his heart, why didn't you say so earlier, you fat man? He ran out for the third time and asked about the price: "Three coins a catty."

"How is the quality of the potatoes? Does it match the price?"

Yan Wangsun endured his anger, like walking a dog, and ran out for the fourth time to see the quality of the potatoes: "The quality of the potatoes is average, about three or four coins, and the price is not set high."

The chubby examiner said with a smile: "You are eliminated."

"Why!" Yan Wangsun said angrily. He was run out four times by the chubby examiner, running there and running back every time, working hard for half a day, and you tell me I failed?

Playing with people!

The chubby examiner spread his hands: "You ran out four times for such a small matter of asking about potatoes. How can I rest assured to give you the job?"

"Then you should have asked everything in one breath!"

The chubby examiner shook his head: "It’s your work that is not comprehensive. How can you blame me for not asking? Young man, you must learn to guess the superior’s intentions at work."

"Bah, you think you are the Emperor, and there are superior intentions."

The chubby examiner was not annoyed: "Although you failed, you can stay."

Yan Wangsun looked at the chubby examiner suspiciously, worried that he was playing with him again: "Really?"

"Do you still remember the ball of paper you picked up as soon as you entered the door? I threw it on the ground on purpose, just to see who would pick it up."

Yan Wangsun was happy, thinking, could this be testing his sense of responsibility and observation?

"It just so happens that we are short of someone to clean, so you stay and be responsible for cleaning."

Yan Wangsun: "..."

Yan Wangsun really wanted to scold people, but he never said it. No matter what, being able to stay is passing the test, which is a good thing.

"Next one," the chubby examiner shouted.

Man Gu walked into the room. Yan Wangsun saw Man Gu’s honest appearance and felt a little disdain, thinking that this person must be like himself and be played by the examiner.

"You go and see if there are any potatoes for sale in the market." The chubby examiner asked the same question.

Man Gu said "Oh" and left, and didn't come back until more than ten minutes later.

"There is an old man pushing a small cart selling potatoes in the market. There are eighty catties of potatoes, three coins a catty, the quality matches the price, and the old man also said that if you buy more potatoes, the price can be another one-tenth cheaper..."

Man Gu answered extremely detailed, even asking questions that the chubby examiner hadn't considered in advance. Yan Wangsun, who was standing by, was stunned.

Don't look at Man Gu’s burly appearance; in fact, he is a person with a delicate heart and thoughtful consideration. He is good at learning with an open mind, especially learning from Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

As far as the current situation is concerned, there is still a long way to go before graduation.

"Congratulations, you have been left behind."

"Look at what I said, this Man Gu is a good seedling." The Deputy Sect Master was very happy to see Man Gu pass the test again, which proved that his idea of setting questions was correct.

Others answered the examiner’s four questions after running twice, which is barely considered qualified.

Only Man Gu perfectly matched his idea.

The Sect Master nodded: "It seems that this second level tests whether things are done thoroughly and whether one can consider for the superior."

The demonic path must be careful when doing things, not leaving a tail, so as not to be caught by the righteous path.

Furthermore, only by considering for the superior can it show that you have the potential to rise, and the higher-ups will promote you.

The Deputy Sect Master based the second test on various considerations.

"There shouldn't be any other methods this time," the Deputy Sect Master laughed proudly.

The Sect Master didn't speak, but cast his gaze on the two who performed excellently in the first level.

Intuition told him that there might be other methods.
