When people are busy and fulfilled, they often feel that time passes quickly.

In a blink of an eye, it is only one month before the year-end test.

Hongshan City has bid farewell to midsummer and ushered in a cool autumn. The lush forest land wrapped around the city has turned into golden and red, making this harvest city look gorgeous and colorful. As the most dazzling pearl in the central hinterland of the Great Qin Empire, Hongshan City attracts literati and poets all year round, and uses various gorgeous words to praise its beauty.

Being able to live in Hongshan City is the lifelong ideal of many people in the Qin Dynasty. In the survey conducted by a third party: in the ranking of your ideal living cities, Hongshan City has always been above Baiye City.

However, there is a group of people who live in the beautiful city that countless people dream of, and are known as the pride of heaven and have an infinite bright future. But they are frowning and even resentful all day long.

"I... haven't heard that Hongshan College is so hard before I come."

A young student with dark circles was walking like a walking corpse on the way from the dormitory to the library. The two heavy material books in his hand were almost like falling down his upper body.

Next to him, a student who could hardly open his eyes was also shaking, staggering, holding information in his left hand and a roujiamo in his right hand, and putting it into his mouth stiffly and mechanically. Because he couldn't open his eyes, he completely subconsciously followed the people around him slowly. He heard that he had a lot of emotion when he mentioned his hard work in his studies.

"That's to say, if I had known that I was so tired, it would be better... Forget it, it's still Hongshan College after all. The starting point of graduation is the end point of many people's lifelong struggle."

"But if we continue like this, I'm afraid that we will usher in the end of our life until we can't wait for the starting point of graduation." Dark Eyes said angrily, "The year-end test of the first year is like life and death. There are still four years left in the future. Based on the calculation of 20 years of life each year, I guess I'll finish the year after."

While speaking, the student, who was seriously sleep-deficient, had to cover his chest with his hands to suppress his heart that was so painful.

Just as the two were talking, a pair of senior students walked by, both starting from the dormitory area, but early in the morning they ran towards another direction.

"I have been reading these two days. I have to learn until six or seven o'clock in the evening every day. Today I relax for a day and go to the suburbs of the city to climb the mountain."

"Well, I'll just go after breakfast. So early, the special package in the cafeteria should still be there..."

Listening to the relaxed and pleasant conversation, the two freshmen in the first grade felt a sense of confusion that was like a different life.

Once upon a time, they also enjoyed every day of the present with a beautiful vision of the future.

Of course, learning requires hard study, but in combination with work and rest, there are too many entertainment activities besides learning, such as going out to climb, purchasing in the city, and many exciting activities organized by the student union in the college, which make students' lives fulfilling without being tired.

It was not until the year-end test plan was announced that the freshmen's study and life took a sharp turn and quickly fell into purgatory.

"As far as I can't understand... This matter has nothing to do with us. Master Yuanshi made it clear on the first day that he couldn't use us, why did we have to be so tired?"

"Probably because we are so scared that we like to feel uncomfortable."

The students' self-deprecating words pointed out the core of the problem very accurately.

Human nature is inherently lowly. The more unnecessary it is, the more pretentious it will show. Original poem disbanded the 148-person group, and except for a few "core members", all the others broke up on the freedom action.

The reason is also simple and sufficient. Except for a very small number of people, others cannot play any role in facing Bai Xiao, so Yuan Shi does not expect them to contribute at all. Instead of wasting time preparing for the exam, it is better to spend precious student time leisurely.

However, the idle people who were broken up were unwilling to be lonely, and instead set off a revengeful learning frenzy.

The first initiator is difficult to verify, but when people notice the abnormal situation, everyone around them seems to be getting strange.

Those students who usually get up lazyly at eight or nine o'clock in the morning started to get up early without realizing it. At first, they only got up a few minutes early, from early 9 o'clock to 9 o'clock, and then to 8:50, 8:45 o'clock...

Finally, when the autumn wind blew into the college, someone had already woken up and found that it was not clear outside the window. When he came to the door of the library, he found that there were many classmates standing at the door, waiting for the library to open.

Obviously no one explicitly requested it, and even there was no need to think rationally, this trend of comparison still spread and became uncontrollable.

Everyone is speeding up their learning progress and squeezing their potential twice as if they want to resist Teacher Yuan Shi who had denied him.

Although this kind of active and enthusiastic style of studying is good, the students in it always feel a little awkward.

Especially when I return to the dormitory with exhaustion every day and lie on the bed to fall asleep, the sense of incongruity in my heart becomes stronger and stronger.

Is it really necessary for us to pay such a heavy price just to fight against Mr. Yuan Shi?

Or, with the personality of that teacher, will he really care about our resistance?

But these questions will only linger in my mind for a moment and then disappear.

Because it is really meaningless to consider these things. Even if the original poem really doesn’t care, can the freshmen relax?

Of course not, because everyone else is working hard!

Even if the confrontation of the year-end test is not considered, based on the tradition of Hongshan Academy, students must be ranked in the end.

Now everyone is working hard and the progress is much faster than normal. If they continue to relax, their ranking will naturally plummet.

The 149 people in the first grade, except for a very few geniuses, most of them have a short distance from the magical talent. The main thing that determines the grade is the hard work.

But under normal circumstances, few people will start this kind of vicious competition. After all, the result of everyone's desperate efforts will not change the ranking, but everyone has to pay a tragic price for it.

"So, why do we have to work so hard..."

The newborn with dark circles once again made a voice questioning life.

However, the next moment, the person who answered him was not the roommate around him, but a voice full of confidence and vitality.

"Of course it is to defeat Bai Xiao and create a feat that can be remembered for life."

The dark circles were stunned for a while before they found information about this sound from the chaotic brain.

"Mr. Qi?"

The Squinting Brother next to him hadn't come back to his senses yet: "What Young Master Qi?"

The dark circles quickly poked his ribs, making Brother Squinting look wide and bent down, and he couldn't breathe for a long time.

But this also made him wake up and realize that the one who just spoke to them was Qi Wei, the young master of the Qi family.

Before entering the school, he was famous for his academic talent, and his mock test scores even surpassed Lu Xun.

If Qingyue had not appeared out of nowhere, the first person in the new year of this year's life would probably have been his. With such a dazzling title, Qi Wei's student career would have a bright future.

Unfortunately, Bai Xiao's sudden appearance plundered everyone's glory, and even Lu Xun was bleak, let alone Qi Wei? When talking about the freshmen of Hongshan Academy, people will mention Bai Xiao, Qingyue, Lu Xun, and occasionally mention Zuo Qingsui and Gao Yuan, who are now booming in the live broadcast industry, but few people will mention Qi Wei, as if this person has turned into transparent.

But the dark circles and squinted brother who are both transparent people know very well how powerful Qi Wei is.

Even if the light was covered up, he was the eldest son of a first-class wealthy family. His original position was Lu Xun's right-hand man! With the Lu family's status in the Qin Dynasty, Qi Wei's positioning actually had a lot of the meaning of being the priest in the dynasty.

Compared with such a big shot, Dark Circles and Squinting Brother are really just small and transparent.

So the two of them suddenly became a little energetic and did not dare to be drowsy anymore. They hurriedly extended their sincere greetings to Qi Wei...

Qi Wei smiled, "Why are students so unfamiliar? You don't have enough sleep, so let's drink this."

As he said that, he handed them a bottle of drink.

My heart was thrilled when I saw Dark Circles and Squinting Brother.

Awakening Soup (Apple Flavor) worth 3,000 silver dollars! Just one bottle can relieve fatigue all day and make people radiant. It is a magical tool for blood recovery after staying up all night. Although it cannot be used continuously, for civilian students who have never drunk (can't afford it), these two bottles of drinks are still rare luxury goods.

Qi Wei is worthy of being a wealthy young man, and he actually gave away thousands of silver dollars!

If it weren't for the fact that the Hongshan people had been distorted by Bai Xiao during this period, Brother Dark Eyes and Squinting would have burst into tears on the spot.

Of course, even so, the two of them were still grateful to the drink handed over by Qi Wei. They opened the bottle and drank it all on the spot, sweeping away the fatigue of ecstasy.

After that, I had the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Qi, did you say you want to defeat Bai Xiao? But Teacher Yuan Shi was not..."

Qi Wei shook his head: "Teacher Yuan Shi did not give up hope for us, but we can't give up hope ourselves. Since the content of the year-end test is that so many of us form a team to fight against Bai Xiao, then defeating Bai Xiao is naturally our goal. The efforts we put in now will become the foundation of the year-end test. Indeed, if we look at the test rankings, this crazy student trend is just a vicious competition, but I still think that the efforts in our student days will never be meaningless. Moreover, if we can really defeat Bai Xiao in the final decisive battle, it would be a more important event than the year-end rankings."

After drinking the drink in the dark circles, I felt the pressure in my heart gradually soothe and my thinking became active. So I responded: "Indeed, if I can defeat Senior Brother Bai Xiao... even if I am just a trivial participant, it will be enough to remember it for life. But do we really have a chance?"

Qi Wei smiled and said, "Of course there is a chance. Bai Xiao is indeed very powerful, but he is just a human, not a god. Haven't he done simulated wars before? Under certain rules, he can't even beat Gao Yuan."

After a moment of stunned eyes, he realized that Qi Wei was talking about the magic Goji battle that is known to everyone now, which happened in the blurred realm. According to special rules, all of Bai Xiao's specialties were banned and he could only play against Gao Yuan honestly. Then he had basically never had Goji before, so he was naturally not Gao Yuan's opponent.

Although he soon colluded with Qingyue later, seriously hurting Gao Yuan's pure heart, it is undeniable that Gao Yuan won a victory that was enough to boast about ten years in the first battle.

"But, so long has passed, Senior Brother Bai Xiao should be doing special training, right?"

Qi Wei smiled and said, "Can special training solve the fundamental problem? If you have the special training for a year, will you be confident of fighting with Bai Xiao?"

Dark circles shook his head quickly, let alone a year, there is no hope for the rest of his life!

"Because Bai Xiao's strengths lie in his actual combat, his practical talent and qualifications are far higher than us, and he is not the same species. So our special training will certainly not solve the problem. But in other words, in the place where Bai Xiao's talent and qualifications are backward, no matter how special training he trains, he can't compare with his more talented opponent."

Qi Wei smiled: "The rules are beneficial to us after all, so show some confidence..."

As I was talking, I suddenly heard a noise coming from a distance.

Qi Wei frowned.

He has a very good hearing, and even if he is far apart, he can hear people in the distance clamoring.
Chapter completed!
