Chapter 3: Shrinking the Earth to an Inch

While making a sound, he pointed to his own ears and then shook his head, making it very clear that he was deaf-mute and could not understand what the other person was saying

September 27 is the day of the examination. However, on the afternoon of the 26th, the registration office only posted a notice, instructing everyone to collect the materials in the afternoon

Certainly, the majority of those who are noisy are the ones who have received the materials, especially those who come to collect books on behalf of their family members. As for those who are still in line and have not yet received the materials, they are definitely not involved in such matters

"We have notified every candidate to pay attention to the announcements at all times. The materials have not been sent, and even if you ask me to change it now, I cannot do so, can I?" The staff member furrowed their brow.

Upon hearing this question, the staff appeared momentarily stunned, as if they had encountered an alien, before nodding and saying, "It's nothing, just remember to pay attention to the notices posted here at all times"

What is your son's name? Let us check. The staff's attitude is very proper, and they show great respect for the elderly

Oh no, Chen Taizhong gently tapped his forehead, realizing that his emotional intelligence had been somewhat declining lately, which was not a good thing

When the new system was first introduced, it was naturally not very完善, which provided certain individuals with opportunities for opportunism. The crimes that occur in the light of day often require some guise to conceal their true nature

With a grip that was twice as fast, Chen Taizhong could have evaded it; however, he was unprepared and did not realize the seriousness of the situation

At this moment, the short and stout individual launched a deadly flying knife, saying, "This candidate, wouldn't you agree?"

Fortunately, Chen Taizhong is quite stubborn. Over the past few days, he has essentially treated the registration office as his home, wandering around here every day without much to do. In fact, when a cultivation fanatic treats something as a serious matter, it is usually quite terrifying

Muttering in public like this is clearly another incident of low emotional intelligence, and he is still unaware of it. Unfortunately, his muttering was overheard by a staff member nearby

Where did he go? Chen Taizhong had already slipped out of the registration office's door. To avoid this awkward situation, he even employed the celestial technique of "shrinking the earth to an inch," although this would consume a significant amount of the celestial power he had painstakingly accumulated

Celebrities are indeed subject to the celebrity effect. Chen Taizhong does not mind. Thinking back to my earlier days, everyone would avoid me. Isn't that also a form of the celebrity effect

"You must not!" said the short and stout individual, answering to himself. "Therefore, everyone might as well regard this matter as a temporary test imposed by the organization, do you understand? This is a test from the organization for you!"

Furthermore, it is not entirely accurate to say that he was not informed; did he not mention that he should pay attention to the announcements at all times?

"I see, this officialdom is indeed not a place where ordinary people can thrive," Chen Taizhong was somewhat bewildered. He certainly understood that he was being used as a scapegoat. "Well, indeed, it is a good place to hone emotional intelligence"

Countless malicious gazes were fixed on Chen Taizhong. Even if his emotional intelligence was lacking, he understood that he had incurred the wrath of the crowd. This scene was strikingly similar to when he was besieged by the multitude of immortals.

The civil service examination system is a new system, and some even predict that this will be a prelude to a new "imperial examination". Just wait and see if you don't believe it.

I can't believe it, are you trying to deceive me? The short and stout man was instantly enraged, forgetting that he had initially intended to silence the crowd. He reached out again, wanting to seize Chen Taizhong.

How could Chen Taizhong manage so much? After eagerly paying the registration fee and submitting the materials, he asked, "When can I collect the admission ticket and the examination materials?"

The absence of regulations regarding the educational qualifications of candidates is certainly not a mere oversight, as there are two sons of leaders who have just graduated from high school and have not yet had the opportunity to attend university

Chen Taizhong's consciousness had not yet returned to its optimal state, but without a doubt, this small amount of information was still no challenge for him. After squeezing through the crowd, he just wanted to go home

"What other notices are you posting?" an old man shouted, "I said, my son has already paid the registration fee. When will you finally distribute the exam materials?"

The dignity of the celestial being, Luo Tian, is not to be desecrated. Using me as a shield? Dream on. Chen Taizhong coldly laughed to himself, uttering a couple of "ah ah" sounds, his eyes filled with confusion.

"This candidate is absolutely right; in the future, you will inevitably take on leadership positions," the short and stout individual subtly misled everyone. "What if an unexpected emergency occurs? Can you complain that the incident did not give you prior notice?"

However, this material does not seem to be of a serious nature, or rather, it is excessively formal. The binding is exquisite, and the price is high. Upon closer inspection, oh, it is written by certain well-known individuals, and originally it does not belong to the category of materials such as https://m.hetushu.com.

This fellow looks somewhat like the purple-haired hound of the Xu Beast Golden Immortal, and Chen Taizhong is feeling a bit murderous. Do you think I am easy to bully?

What Chen Taizhong did not know was that this trial of the "civil servant examination" had quite a few hidden agendas.

Three days later

The crowd, once again incensed, shifted all attention to the short and stout individual, "How can you hear a mute speak? Who are you? State your name and organization!"

In that case, if no one speaks out, everyone will still be on the same starting line, and there will be no suspicion that anyone received the information in advance

Everyone is the future pillar of the government, " the short and stout Qing cleared his throat and raised Chen Taizhong's right hand, " Everyone, quiet, quiet... "

Regardless of the circumstances, discovering a slight decline in his emotional intelligence left Chen Taizhong somewhat displeased, and the joy of successfully registering vanished without a trace

After starting work, balancing both work and study without hindering either is common knowledge, and it also allows for the accumulation of work experience

The candidate spoke very accurately. The short and stout staff member was being complained about by the crowd to the point of losing his temper. In a fluster, he quickly grabbed him, his speed of action rivaling that of "One Sword Without Blood" Feng Xifan.

You didn't notify me about https://m.hetushu.com. If it weren't for a slight hesitation, Chen Taizhong would have blurted this out. Of course, this mistake is too basic; given his current self, he would not make such an error.

Thus, he was the first to receive the examination materials

Is there anything else? If not, may I leave now?

Hmm? Caught an empty one

The civil service examination, of course, is a system where the capable rise and the incapable fall. Chen Taizhong couldn't help but mutter a few words; this was hardly a problem for him. How can one even consider taking an exam if they can't finish such a small amount of material?

There is an abundance of materials, no wonder the registration fee is set at 500. That amount is what Chen Taizhong has saved up over several years through frugality. Currently, he is essentially in a state of destitution

At this moment, he realized that there was quite a commotion behind him. It turned out that many people were complaining about the late distribution of materials, saying, "With so many books, is it even worth it now? You might as well not distribute them at all"

When he turned his head again, the former shield had already vanished without a trace. Huh? Where did that guy go? There were too many people, and with a short and stout figure, it was impossible to find him.

"Do I look that foolish?" The old man has quit, and instead of his son causing a scene, it is he who has come. Naturally, he must be wary of certain matters. "You all know what my son's name is; can he still pass the exam?"
