Chapter 203 [202] Methods of a Big Shot

After the brief interlude.

The assessment officially began.

Xing Peng saw the door of the lounge open, and Director Cheng took the lead in entering, followed by the first group of ten people, and the door closed behind them.

The hall immediately buzzed with discussion.

A group of young people waiting for the assessment looked nervous.

After all, they would soon be facing a real big shot, and who could remain calm and composed?

Others looked on with concern.

Director Cheng's personal display of capturing the Avenger had made this group of wealthy people value the position of "Inspector" even more.

Following such an outstanding director, why worry about not achieving success and building a career?

This was definitely a clear path!

Thirty seconds later.

"Creak~"

The lounge door opened.

The ten examinees walked out one after another.

Their condition looked very strange, everyone had a dazed look, as if waking up from a dream.

A commotion immediately erupted in the hall.

Xing Peng was a little surprised: "How is the assessment so fast?"

Fan Ancheng said in a low voice: "You have already condensed the Source Sense Mark, and also cultivated the Nine Yuan Martial Technique, can you see what they have experienced?"

According to rumors from Winter Garden, as long as their children participated in the assessment, whether they succeeded or failed, they had to donate at least fifty gold coins. This was by no means a small amount of money, and this wealthy man couldn't help but care.

A big shot's face was worth this much money. If they had talked to Director Cheng, the donation amount had to be even more. This was an unspoken rule.

Xing Peng shook his head: "What kind of person is Director Cheng? How could I have the ability to see through him?"

Fan Ancheng didn't ask further: "That's right."

Fang Qinghuai, the master of Winter Garden, announced at the right time: "Please, the second group, enter."

The second group of examinees quickly entered the lounge.

The door closed again.

Another thirty seconds passed.

The second group finally came out.

They still had a blank look on their faces.

This made the onlookers feel even more confused.

Then.

It was the turn of Xing Peng's third group.

He entered the lounge in line with a nervous mood.

What he saw.

Was not the scene of the lounge as expected, but a rather long corridor, with pots of blooming flowers on both sides.

A maid stood beside them, making a "please" gesture to everyone: "Everyone, just walk through this corridor, and you will reach the assessment location."

A group of people walked forward quickly.

Xing Peng took a few steps and suddenly noticed a strange thing.

The corridor seemed to be getting longer and longer.

It looked only ten meters long before.

Now it looked more than a hundred meters long, and the few pots of green plants placed at the exit had become small green dots the size of palms.

Not only that.

Even the competitors who were close at hand just now had become quite far away, with the closest examinee being more than ten meters away.

Xing Peng suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and his heart was filled with intense fear.

Could it be that he had encountered something strange?

How could there be something strange in Director Cheng's assessment?

For some reason.

He completely forgot that this was just an assessment, and unconsciously ignored the idea that "this may be a well-designed part".

Out of the human instinct to stick together, Xing Peng stared at the figure in front of him and shouted anxiously: "Hey, friend in front, wait for me!"

After shouting, he strode over.

The figure in front was a tall, thin young man, who turned around when he heard the voice behind him.

Xing Peng shouted while running: "This place is very wrong, we better together..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Because Xing Peng saw a terrible scene.

A pot of flowers not far from the thin young man suddenly swelled up, instantly changing from half a meter high to more than three meters high.

The few beautiful flowers hanging on the plant had turned into extremely hideous giant mouths, with dense sharp teeth in the center.

Xing Peng stopped in shock, and two words popped into his mind - weird!

My God!

Why are there so many weird things here!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several vines quickly窜了出来, firmly缠住 the thin young man's body, trying to yank him towards the giant mouth.

The thin young man began to struggle desperately, shouting for help: "Help me!"

At this moment.

Xing Peng was caught in a dilemma.

If he rescued him, he might be able to save the other party, but this plant was so powerful that it was more likely that he would be dragged in with him.

If he didn't save him, wouldn't he be watching a living person being eaten alive?

Ultimately.

Xing Peng chose to follow his heart.

It's not me to stand by and watch!

Try to save people on the premise of being as careful as possible!

Xing Peng decisively drew out a long knife, strode forward, and slashed out a heavy blow, cutting off a vine.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Two more vines lashed over like whips.

Xing Peng was prepared, quickly retreated two steps, waved his long knife to cut off the vines, and slashed out a Void Severing Strike with his left hand, breaking a vine.

His swordsmanship was good, and with the Nine Yuan Martial Technique, his combat power might not be too strong, but he was flexible and versatile.

Because several vines were cut off, the speed of the strange plant dragging its prey slowed down a lot.

The thin young man tried his best to stretch out a hand, begging: "Pull me!"

Xing Peng cut off another vine with his knife, seized a good opportunity, took a step forward, and grabbed the other party's left hand, intending to drag him out.

However.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the thin young man, his heart "thumped".

wrong!

The strange plant subdued the prey instantly, but I casually cut a few knives and repelled the vines, and I still have the opportunity to reach out and pull people.

And the thin young man just happened to reach out and ask for a pull, this person is clearly extremely panicked, and can still accurately grasp the timing?

Isn't this too coincidental?!

"Bang!"

Xing Peng stomped hard on the ground, and his whole body floated backwards in an instant.

This is the Magpie Ascent!

The next moment.

A large clump of vines, more than twenty, suddenly swept over.

Unfortunately, they pounced on nothing.

Because Xing Peng had escaped one step ahead.

He was in mid-air, watching this scene, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

It really is a trap!

Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I'm afraid I would have fallen into prey as well.

The thin young man was still reaching out, begging bitterly: "Please save me, I don't want to be gnawed away bit by bit by the weird, please!"

This person's cry for help seemed to anger the strange plant.

"Crack! Crack!"

With a few muffled sounds, the thin young man's limbs were broken.

"Ah~ It hurts~"

The thin young man wailed.

Xing Peng turned his head unbearably.

A giant flower approached the prey and bit off a piece of flesh fiercely.

"Ah~"

The screams became louder and louder.

The thin young man cried bitterly: "I don't want to die, please save me!"

Xing Peng sighed inwardly, his right arm swelled up a section, and he threw the long knife out with force.

Mountain Moving!

"Woo~"

The long knife swept across an arc with a light whistling sound, cutting off the thin young man's throat.

"Ho! Ho!"

A large amount of blood foam gushed out of the thin young man's mouth, and the light in his eyes quickly dissipated.

Xing Peng stood solemnly and said softly: "I'm very sorry, my ability is limited, I can't save you, I can only end your pain as soon as possible."

After a second.

A indifferent voice rang out of thin air.

"The assessment is over!"

subsequently.

The picture suddenly froze.

Xing Peng was dumbfounded.

As if a certain shackle was opened, he realized many unreasonable things.

I clearly knew this was an assessment, why did I forget all about it after entering the lounge?

I clearly didn't carry any weapons, but when I was dealing with the weird just now, I suddenly pulled out a long knife, but I didn't find it strange at all?

Thinking of this.

Xing Peng turned his head to look at the long knife, and found that the long knife had disappeared without a trace at some point.

He stood there for a long time, recalling the whole process of the assessment, and sincerely sighed: "Too powerful!"

As soon as I entered the door, I unknowingly fell into an illusion and ignored all unreasonable things. This method is really awe-inspiring!

After a while.

Xing Peng only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and everything changed.

The corridor was gone.

The green plants were also gone.

A luxuriously decorated lounge appeared in front of me.

But Director Cheng was not among them.

Only a beautiful maid was looking at everyone with a smile.

The other nine examinees all had a dazed look on their faces, and their eyes also showed a bit of trance, obviously not completely out of the influence of the illusion.

The maid confirmed that everyone had woken up and said in a pleasant voice: "Everyone, the assessment is over, please leave the lounge."

Xing Peng took a deep breath and took the lead in walking out of the lounge.

Fan Ancheng immediately greeted him, directly pulled Xing Peng to the corner, and asked a little nervously: "How was the assessment result?"

Xing Peng calmed down and lowered his voice: "Just now..."

He briefly narrated the process of the assessment.

Fan Ancheng was excited after listening: "You must have passed the assessment!"

Xing Peng thought so himself, and nodded lightly: "It shouldn't be a big problem."

Fan Ancheng's face was full of praise: "First, observe the character by saving people, and then set traps in the battle to test martial skills and eyesight.

"Just an illusion can comprehensively assess the qualities of all aspects. Director Cheng's mind is really amazing!"

Xing Peng deeply agreed: "The methods of big shots are indeed extraordinary!"

Fan Ancheng glanced at Xing Peng, and felt like he had found a treasure.

He thought for a while, and said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Xing, when you marry Xiao Qian, our Fan family will definitely give a generous dowry."

Xing Peng really didn't know how to respond.

I haven't seen Xiao Qian for at least two years, is it too sudden to talk about this now.

Fan Ancheng gritted his teeth and decisively offered a sky-high price: "At least a dowry worth six hundred gold coins, including a high-end residence!"

Originally, the price in the heart of this wealthy man was three hundred gold coins, but now that he knew the content of the assessment, he decisively decided to double the price.

He can pass such a difficult assessment. This is considered a talent personally checked by the director. He has both character and ability. It would be a pity to miss it!

Xing Peng's breathing was a little rapid, but he didn't refuse.

Only a fool would refuse so much money.

Besides, Xiao Qian is quite pretty!

Five minutes later.

The assessment is over.

Director Cheng did not appear again.

But no one had any objections.

Everyone present in the banquet hall, one by one, may be considered a big shot in the eyes of ordinary people, but in front of Director Cheng, they are nothing.

It is already very flattering for a big shot to show his face once.

After a while.

Fang Qinghuai, the master of Winter Garden, shouted loudly: "Everyone, Director Cheng has selected fourteen outstanding young people and ordered me to inform everyone of the results."

The banquet hall immediately fell silent.

Although Xing Peng had guessed that he would be selected by 99%, his heart was still raised.

Fang Qinghuai took out a piece of paper and read out the first name: "Xing Peng..."

Xing Peng's heart was so happy that it was about to explode.

I was selected!

I was favored by Director Cheng!

Fan Ancheng smiled instantly.

The prospective son-in-law he found was ranked first on the list, indicating that his performance was the best!

This time, the bet was right!

Fan Ancheng patted his prospective son-in-law's shoulder, his tone was extremely cordial: "Xiao Xing, you are not too young, why don't you marry my Xiao Qian in late this month? I guarantee to prepare a dowry of no less than eight hundred gold coins."

The price of the dowry has increased again!

Xing Peng was a little surprised and a little blushed: "Late this month? Isn't this too fast?"

Fan Ancheng shook his head repeatedly: "Not fast! Not fast at all!"

This wealthy businessman was afraid of a long night and wanted to hold the wedding tomorrow, and he still felt it was slow!

Xing Peng is a person with principles. Since he had agreed to the conditions in advance, he did not intend to go back on his word.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll discuss it with my parents, they shouldn't object."

Fan Ancheng looked anxious: "Okay! Then I'll go home with you later to meet the future in-laws."

Xing Peng was a little unaccustomed to this enthusiasm, but he did not object: "Okay."

soon.

The banquet entered the second part - raising money.

Fang Qinghuai stood in front of the crowd and talked eloquently: "Everyone, Director Cheng feels that many civilians are struggling to make a living and decided to establish a charitable committee..."

He babbled for a while and ended with one sentence: "Welcome everyone to donate generously and contribute to helping the bottom-level civilians!"

Fan Ancheng was the first to raise his hand: "I donate five hundred gold coins!"

A group of people around him gathered their eyes instantly.

Although this was a large sum of money, Fan Ancheng smiled extremely happily.

Originally, his budget was three hundred gold coins, but Xing Peng's performance was so outstanding that he decisively decided to add money.

The first place in the selection will never have a bad future, it is worth this price.

*

Half an hour later.

In the garden office.

Cheng Shu knew the result of this donation - 21,400 gold coins.

More than expected.

Having raised such a large sum of money, it could be used for many things, and also greatly appease the common people at the bottom of society.

Cheng Han looked at Fang Tingyuan and ordered, "Spread the amount of the donations as soon as possible and vigorously publicize the kindness of the donors."

Fang Tingyuan responded respectfully, "Understood, I will do it immediately."

Cheng Han grinned.

His plans were always linked, one after another.

This fundraising was also a way to use momentum to pressure the Hall of Governance.

Even the common people were working hard to help the lower classes, so could the Hall of Governance do nothing?

If the Grand Administrator remained unmoved, what would the Xuan Pavilion think?
