Banner of the Evil God

The first civil service recruitment examination of the Northwest Republic attracted the attention of many people.

Although I don’t know what the so-called “civil servants” are, there are still many people signing up.

Everyone is not a fool. After a little thought, you can deduce that "civil servants" should be the officials who manage the daily affairs of the territory. According to past traditions, officials were promoted by lords. They are usually selected from the lord's subordinates, or are appointed by the lord's relatives. It is rare to select directly among the people like the Northwest Republic.

It's just rare, not impossible.

After all, the foundation of the Republic is weak, there are not many high-level officials, and there are not many relatives and subordinates. If you want to promote enough officials, it will not be enough.

This is everyone's opportunity.

So in just three days, almost everyone with skills in the four towns, not to mention the four towns, had signed up. Many people even rushed to Void City through the teleportation array to sign up.

When the statistics were collected after three days, the number of people who had signed up was over 10,000, which stunned the people responsible for statistics.

"Do we have so many duties for them to do?" Felix asked after being stunned for a while after getting the statistics table.

Mrs. Teague, the consul of Void City, pondered for a moment and shook her head.

"How many seats can there be?" Felix asked again.

"I have calculated this. We currently have about 300 to 400 vacant manpower... urgently needed."

"A little more, five hundred. That means choosing one of at least twenty people..." Felix sighed, "I always feel like something will happen!"

Although she has never experienced this kind of thing, she can understand by just imagining it. Twenty people with some ability were eliminated by nineteen - if it was just like this, that would be it, but when the number expanded to more than ten thousand , in fact, it is almost equivalent to more than 10,000 people who signed up being eliminated.

If this kind of thing doesn't cause trouble, she will swallow that statistic sheet!

Facts have proved that she is still too young and naive after all, and still needs to continue learning.

After Sui Xiong got the report, he glanced at it lightly, smiled, and said, "The enrollment rate is 5%, which is quite high."

What? Quite high? ! How high is this!

Hearing this comment, Felix felt bad about himself.

She couldn't help but ask, and Sui Xiong said with a smile: "It's really not too difficult for twenty people to compete for one position. And this is just registration, and the written test hasn't even started yet."

"Can the written test screen out a lot of people?" Felix frowned and said, "There are so many people!"

"I guess we can screen out a lot of them. After all, it's an exam. At worst, the papers will be a little more difficult." Sui Xiong said irresponsibly, "If it doesn't work, you can still choose the best. There are always more solutions than problems."

"Test?" Felix was stunned. This was different from the "written test" she had imagined!

"Isn't that something done in school?" she asked. "Isn't the written test just for everyone to write something casually to prove that they can write and do math?"

"How is that possible!" Sui Xiong's eyes widened, "In that case, how can we judge the pros and cons?"

Felix was stunned again. She really hadn't thought about this. She originally thought that the so-called written test was just a way to eliminate those people who didn't recognize anyone. Unexpectedly, Sui Xiong would imitate the curriculum in the school and set a high standard.

"If you want to recruit civil servants, of course you have to take an exam first." Sui Xiong said, "First pass the exam to screen out those who don't even have basic cultural levels, and also eliminate those who have weird ideas and can't relate to normal people. , and then eliminate those who have mediocre abilities and have no idea how to behave... After eliminating these worthless redundancies, the remaining ones can be considered valid registrations. "

Felix thought for a while before he understood what he meant, and asked hesitantly: "But... let's ignore those who are illiterate. What about those who are not literate enough or have poor arithmetic skills?"

"You don't even have this level, you are just a fucking civil servant!" Sui Xiong laughed, "When there is something to report, he should always write a report; when there is something that he is responsible for, he should always write a note. Let’s give it a name; when the superiors issue documents, they must be able to understand them... I don’t require them to be able to write poems, compose operas, etc., but they still need to have basic reading, writing and numeracy skills.”

Felix frowned for a while, and then asked: "So, what does Your Majesty plan to do with those who are eliminated because of insufficient education?"

"If you are interested in learning to read and write, you can apply to settle down and take literacy classes. The tuition is low and the courses are loose, but as long as you work harder and spend a year and a half, you can learn a lot of words. If you have money or are willing to do so in the future Those who pay back the money can sign up for school, but the school enrollment quota is very tight now, and they may not be able to apply. As for those who don’t want to study, there’s nothing I can do about it,” he said with a smile, “It’s just a person, he doesn’t even have it. To make progress, can I still force him to learn?"

"...I did have this interest back then, but I can't do it now! I have more and more things to take care of, and I really don't have the energy."

Felix almost understood what Sui Xiong meant, was silent for a moment, and asked: "What should we do if those eliminated make trouble?"

Sui Xiong sneered: "When the time comes, I will ask Wo'er to preside over the written examination. I want to see how many people dare to act wild in front of the God of Knowledge!"

In fact, there isn't one.

In fact, among the people who came to sign up this time, there were quite a few with suspicious origins and bad motives. But no matter what their thoughts were, when they witnessed the divine light rising, His Majesty, the God of Knowledge, descended to the mortal world and personally presided over the written examination, they They all gave up their original plans.

Doing trouble under the nose of the true God? What a joke!

Of course, there are some die-hards among these people who are not afraid of death, but when facing the true God, no matter how strong-willed a person is, it will be difficult for them to muster the courage to do whatever they want to do. Among them, one or two had gone through repeated ideological struggles and had a slight urge to risk their lives, but before they could make up their minds, they were already seen through by Wall, and they were taken directly to the Kingdom of God's "sanctuary" with a wave of his hand.

As for these people, one moment they are gnashing their teeth in the examination room and about to self-destruct, and the next moment they are in the Kingdom of God facing a super giant jellyfish with a smile that makes people's scalp numb. Will they collapse or go crazy? It is not within the scope of the "civil service examination".

Because of Wall's presence, the written examination went smoothly. As Sui Xiong estimated, the vast majority of applicants failed to obtain the minimum standard passing score in the written examination and were eliminated.

This is definitely not because the written examination papers are too difficult, but because the level of education in this world is too low.

The written test paper was published by Felix and was divided into four parts. The first part was to judge whether thirty common words were written correctly. The second part was to judge whether the thirty common words were written correctly. The second part was to perform ten very difficult addition and subtraction questions. The third part was Read a notice and briefly write a summary of the notice's contents below. The fourth part is to listen to a civil dispute and write down your own solution.

Among these four parts, as long as you can get the first two parts correct, you can get a passing score. From Felix's point of view, it almost felt like it was a free gift. Not to mention the students of the magic school, there are even many miners in the negative energy mine who can get both of these parts right.

However, it turns out that she was too optimistic.

When she was correcting papers, she almost collapsed due to the messy mistakes. She roared out of the office more than once. She roared for a long time inexplicably before she calmed down and started correcting again.

After doing this again and again, Sui Xiong finally couldn't stand it anymore and took over the task of correcting the test papers himself.

Those low-level mistakes are indeed driving people crazy, but Sui Xiong used his magical power to fix them in one go without having to correct them himself.

When the result that "the passing rate was less than 20%" came out, Felix was very calm. She even asked curiously: "Your Majesty, are you going to lower the standards? The passing rate is so high." ?”

She would never have had such an idea before the exam. However, after being tortured by those error-filled test papers, she had completely lost trust in the cultural level of the candidates and had serious misconceptions.

In her opinion, it would be a blessing if only one tenth of these candidates passed!

As it turns out, this is nothing more than prejudice.

The results of the written examination were announced quickly, and the candidates did not cause trouble. After all, they knew what their cultural level was. There was no one who felt that his level was very high and he should be able to pass. However, some people looked at the blue word "passed" behind their names on the roster and were stunned for a long time, and then burst into giggles.

At this time, if someone borrowed Fan Jin's performance when he passed the exam and said "Oh! I won!", it would be very appropriate.

Of course, I haven’t actually won yet, and there is still an interview next.

More than 10,000 people turned into less than 2,000, and in the end, 500 people will be admitted. This ratio made Sui Xiong mutter several times, nothing more than "Why didn't I encounter such a high admission rate back then?"

As a serious college graduate, Brother Xiong naturally passed the civil service exam back then. However, art students are really not suitable for taking this kind of exam. His written test scores were so disastrous that he was not even qualified for the interview.

I really can’t blame him. It’s not uncommon for art students to become civil servants, but it’s really too rare!

Probably only those top academics with solid basic knowledge can do this kind of thing.

However, if the original written test papers were as difficult as this time, everyone would be able to pass. Well, the premise is to translate the language of the paper into Chinese...

The interview situation was slightly better than the written test. At least more than 80% of the people were not eliminated. After some screening, a relatively outstanding 500 people were finally selected. The rest of the people were selected if they were willing. If you settle in the Northwest Republic, you can be exempted from the written test the next time you take the exam. But if you don't settle here, you will have to take the written test again next time.

In the end, more than 1,000 people chose to settle down. Adding the 500 civil servants recruited, the population of the Northwest Republic suddenly increased by more than 1,500, and they are all highly qualified - compared to the population in this world. On average.

This made Ferex and the others very happy, especially Ferex who could finally say goodbye to the pile of documents. He was smiling from ear to ear.

But Sui Xiong was not very happy.

In this civil service examination, he didn't even find a single truly outstanding talent.

He thought that for such a big event, he would at least attract a group of talents, but he didn't expect that among those who signed up, there really wasn't even one outstanding person!

This made him sigh and feel depressed.

A few days later, Morani came to visit him by chance to discuss the matter of making equipment for the messenger of God. Seeing that he looked so sad, he couldn't help asking.

When He heard that Sui Xiong wanted to find outstanding talents, he was silent for a while and said, "If you don't mind, I have a talent to recommend to you."

"Who?" Sui Xiong was stunned, and then asked happily.

"A famous wandering hero, known by the name of Ranger Paul, who almost succeeded in becoming a god, but chose to give up the deification. Now he can almost be regarded as an evil god, the 'heavy-armored lion' Reynard." Morani thought for a while and added, "My former voter, now my enemy."

Today is the birthday of the deputy moderator "The Depressed Uncle", and I wish him a happy birthday!
