Volume Nine Thieves Guild Chapter One Invitation from Duanmu Family
Every year in mid-June, the Holy Land is always very lively, and the reason for this situation is the Holy Academy.
However, unlike recruiting new students, mid-June is when the fourth-year students graduate and leave their alma mater.
Graduates of the Holy Academy are undoubtedly talents among talents. History has also confirmed this. Most of the people who graduated from the Holy Academy have become famous outside, and many have even become pillars of talent. This makes everyone
Graduates of this year have become hot commodities.
Therefore, around June every year, forces from all over the mainland would send envoys to the Holy Land, trying their best to recruit, hoping to get as many students as possible to help manage the cities and counties under their jurisdiction.
However, the envoys can only stand still outside the sanctuary for the time being, because before the graduation ceremony, the college prohibits graduates from contacting and negotiating with any force.
Despite this, the envoys still have a lot of work to do. Just the thick information released by the Holy Academy is enough to give them a headache.
That information includes each student's school status, school status, age, gender, family background, department, class, martial arts characteristics, all month-end test scores, competition rankings, internship performance, awards, punishments, and graduation of each student in the Holy Academy.
Results etc.
Each student's information is only a few pages, but with thousands of graduates added up, one can imagine the huge workload.
Recruiting graduates from the Holy Academy is a technical job, and it is not as simple as just starting from the total graduation score. Any item in the student's information may affect the result.
For example, Xia Houjin ranks first in the school in terms of total graduation scores. Logically speaking, he is undoubtedly the focus of recruitment by all parties, but no one will spend time on him, which will only be a waste of time and energy. Because Xia Houjin
After graduation, it is a certainty to return to Jinmeo County, which is managed by the Xiahou family.
Dugu Feng, Duanmuxi brother and sister, Dongfang Lu, Helian Jian and other eight ancient tribes don't have to think about it.
Also, Jiang Yajing, who is ranked ninth, must have been assisted by Hui Ningge and the lord's father, so she can also be excluded from the candidate list.
Therefore, family background is the first thing that the envoys study. The possibility of recruiting young heroes from powerful forces is extremely slim.
Secondly, the performance and punishment of internship tasks are also factors that the envoys focus on.
Those who break away from the group and have poor discipline during internship tasks will also have their impression points greatly reduced. You must know that the management of counties, cities and pools is a group work. If there is no superior, disobey orders, and affect harmony, this person's martial arts skills will not be counted.
No matter how strong you are, it's still a headache. Captains and vice-captains on internship tasks are highly favored because they have relevant management experience and can adapt quickly.
In addition, personality must also be taken into consideration, whether it is withdrawn, cold, arrogant, arrogant, timid, or indecisive. It is not good to go to either extreme. Also, if you are interested in this student, you have to like him. In this way
The success rate will increase.
Also, regarding the intentions of the students, for example, some graduates clearly stated on their resumes that they hope to work in counties, capitals or big cities, small forces should not have delusions.
In addition to the above points, there are many things that need to be paid attention to. In short, recruiting graduates of the Holy Academy is an extremely cumbersome matter. Usually the envoys will make a long form, and then refer to various information to complete the form.
The names of students who are impossible to recruit, have little hope, or are unsuitable are crossed out one by one.
The students remaining on the list are also divided into three categories, such as key targets, ordinary targets, and reserve targets.
As the name suggests, the key targets are students who must be recruited with all their strength, but they are not ideal targets. The ideal targets are naturally those who have excellent martial arts skills, good team discipline, and are not in any situation at school. However, not everyone is qualified to recruit such students.
.
This depends on one's own situation. For example, small forces have a reputation for being self-aware and will focus on inferior students and make them key targets on the candidate list.
You must know that time is precious, and you must race against time to gain the upper hand in recruitment. If you spend time on those outstanding students who are unrealistic, then the inferior students will be quickly impressed by the favorable conditions of other forces and make an agreement.
If the bamboo basket beater fails, he will regret it.
In other lower colleges on the mainland, people are basically selected by forces. However, this rule does not hold true in Holy Academy. The signs of students choosing forces are more obvious. This is based on strength. Because of excellence,
They have more choices.
After screening one by one, there is only one name left at the top of the list of key targets of each major force - Gu Yao!
"Gu Yao, male, nineteen years old, his place of origin is unknown, his parents are dead, and he has been a wanderer since he was a child. He passed the trial and entered the ninth class of the first year of the liberal arts department of the Sacred College. The trial score just passed the passing line, and he was officially the first student.
One, my grades at the end of February were at the bottom of the class, and I improved one place in the third month..."
There is nothing outstanding about the above, but from the next line, the legend begins.
"Starting from the fourth month, the end-of-month results have improved by leaps and bounds, and the process of progress has continued. From the end of the class to the last month-end test of the first grade, I participated in the freshman competitive competition with the thirty-seventh place in the class. The points in the competitive competition were not outstanding, but two of them
In the competition, she unexpectedly defeated Mu Lingling, an outstanding student in Class 2 of the Hidden Weapon Department, and an outstanding student in Class 1 of the Liberal Arts Department. After being promoted to the second grade, she has been occupying the first place in the general class of the Liberal Department, with the final total score
Sixth in the whole grade, fourth in the final grade of the third grade, second in the final grade of the fourth grade, and fifth in the total graduation grade! There was no punishment in school. Except for the first grade, I received the highest scholarship in every semester.
Excellent performance in this internship task!”
Having no father or mother means that he has no family background and can be recruited by anyone. People with rough backgrounds are usually more loyal.
He entered the Holy Academy as a probationary student and made breakthroughs again and again like a rocket. He never stopped until graduation. This shows that he is a hard-working and very smart person. Moreover, he is still so young, not even twenty years old.
Yes, there is unlimited room for improvement.
The overall score is fifth, below Xia Houjin, Duanmuxi, Dugufeng and Carlo. But don’t forget that the overall score is the comprehensive score of the four years of college career. Only if you are held back in the first semester will you fall to
Fifth. His final grade in fourth grade ranked second, second only to Xia Houjin, an internal martial arts master known as another Tiger King. In other words, his current level may even be higher than Duanmu Xi, Dugu Feng,
At least it’s comparable!
He was not punished in school and performed well in internship tasks, which shows that he is a disciplined and team-oriented person.
A talented young man with a rough background, hardworking, smart, and unremitting struggle to become strong. In the end, he achieved outstanding achievements and was strict with himself. No matter how you look at it, he makes the hearts of all parties excited. It is natural for him to be included in the priority list.
.
If we have to find fault, there is a bad record in this student's detailed information. When he was in the first grade, he once broke into the women's bathroom and openly exposed his private parts in front of female students.
Although Dongfang Lu did not make a complaint to the college, the college still included her in Gu Yao's files, but there was no punishment.
This is a stain that makes people laugh and laugh. No one would have thought that this genius who grew up to be almost charming and flawless would actually have twisted and perverted habits.
Okay, just treat it as an emotional catharsis caused by his diligent and boring training. It was purely an accident. Besides, that kind of thing never happened again, and the flaws were not concealed. The major forces convinced themselves in this way, and then it did not prevent them from putting Gu Yao on the list.
The first place in the world, try your best to chase it.
The messengers outside are racking their brains and thinking of ways, and the academy is also very busy.
Although they were not allowed to meet and talk directly, the envoys showed their talents and used various methods to deliver invitations to their favorite students.
The invitation letter contained various promises of generous benefits, such as allowing students to hold official positions, giving them luxury homes, remuneration, benefits, etc., all kinds of things.
Basically, every student has received more than a hundred invitations, and those students with a medium level have received the most invitations, or even thousands, because all the big and small forces have included them on the list.
Students must carefully choose the one that suits them best among these invitations, as this affects their destiny and future. In addition to salary, there are many things to consider.
If you yearn for a peaceful land, don’t go to a force that is raging with wars and disputes. If a big force has a grand background, but there are a lot of talents, it is much more difficult to climb up than in a small place. If you choose the city of sand, then don’t even think about it.
While enjoying the beautiful weather with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, you have to be mentally prepared to adapt to sandstorms.
It is also painful to have too many choices, because I always feel that this one is good, that one is also good, this one seems to have some problems, and that one is not suitable.
At this time, the relatively unrestrained people, except for Xia Houjin and other people who have no doubts about serving the family, are the only students who intend to become freedom warriors. These students have no intention of joining any force, but just want to travel the mainland alone or with like-minded people, and be free.
Free and unconstrained.
However, there are not many students with the ambition of freedom warriors. Compared with freedom, more people like power, and power can only be obtained by relying on various forces on the mainland.
At the same time, freedom warriors are also regarded as wanderers without ambition, and the college does not recommend graduates to choose this path.
In the center of the Holy Academy, stands a tower called the Holy Tower. The tower is hundreds of meters high and is the tallest building in the entire Holy Domain and the symbol of the academy.
It was evening, and there was a young man lying on the top of the sacred tower. He crossed his arms behind his head, crossed his legs, held a piece of foxtail in his mouth, and looked leisurely at the setting sun.
Judging from the school emblem on his clothes, he is a fourth-year graduate of the Holy Academy. While others are busy choosing a lifelong destination from invitations and investigating whether it is suitable, few people are as idle as him.
Compared with the future and the future, the sunset in front of him seemed to interest him more.
"Second brother!" Following the shout, another young man flew up from the tower.
The young man is quite tall, but a little skinny, with disheveled hair and two dark circles under his eyes. He looks like a panda.
Next to the young man was a tall woman with masculine beauty and a very cool look: "Gu Yao, you are still so leisurely!"
The young man lying on the top of the tower stood up and smiled slightly: "You also know that I am just a little freedom warrior."
This young man is clearly Gu Yao, whom all the major forces are competing for!
Compared with the boy four years ago, Di Guyao is obviously different now.
First of all, it is most directly reflected in his appearance. With his tall and straight body, he is half a head taller than tall, thin young men and women. He has a strong body, and his exposed arm muscles are very strong, containing powerful explosive power.
Having swept away the childishness of yesterday, after four years of college life and experiencing many things, Gu Yao has obviously matured.
Naturally, the young man with the dark circles and the woman who came with him were Carlo and Dugufeng. They fell in love at first sight when they were defeated in the first-grade arena. After confessing but being rejected, Carlo did not give up. On the contrary, he worked harder.
The total score finally surpassed Dugufeng.
In other words, he is stronger than Dugu Feng and has the capital to pursue her.
Dugu Feng was finally impressed by this alchemist with a strong will and accepted it by default. Now the two are a couple that everyone in the school envies.
After four years of internship, the three of them were all assigned to Group A. Coupled with Carlo's relationship, Dugu Feng is equivalent to Gu Yao's half sister-in-law, and they are relatively familiar with each other.
Dugu Feng frowned and said: "Gu Yao, do you really want to become a free warrior and do nothing all day long? You should set a goal for your life. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of your martial arts skills?"
Carlo helped: "That's right, why not go to Yunuo County where the Dugu family lives. We brothers will be together. How lively it will be!"
Others are like husbands and wives, but this couple is the complete opposite. Carlo still obeys Dugu Feng's words. Even though he is strong enough to compete with his girlfriend, or even better.
Carlo was originally one of the focus graduates, but he has publicly stated that following Dugu Feng to work for Yunuo County of the Dugu family, others have completely given up.
Now Di Guyao has received dozens of invitations, but the number is not too much, even pitiful for graduates of the Holy Academy.
However, the quality of these dozens of land invitations is absolutely high, and they are all from the most dominant and powerful capitals on the mainland. Although other small forces covet this big piece of meat, they know that they have no ability to compete.
Just gave up.
Although Gu Yao's file ambition clearly states the word "freedom warrior", the major forces have not given up. According to experience, many graduates with freedom warrior ambitions will change their minds under the offensive of generous benefits.
The pursuit of Gu Yao has also reached a feverish stage, and the financial treatment is very meager. People like this will never be short of money in the future. Some forces have even offered the title of Captain. As long as Gu Yao nods, then
He will immediately become the small commander of five hundred elite warriors...
This title is only mid-level, but don’t forget that Gu Yao has just graduated. Normally, various forces will let college graduates practice in low-level positions for a year or two before being promoted. Gu Yao, for example, has to provide services before he even steps out of the college.
The position of captain is extremely rare, and it can be regarded as a message silently revealed to him by the big forces - if you join Ponto County, you will be guaranteed a bright future in the future.
In the invitation letter, the weakest force was Mophidu. In addition to the position of captain, the lord even said that he was willing to betroth his third daughter, the most beautiful woman in the city, to Gu Yao, which showed that he was eager for talents.
Some forces played the friend card and persuaded Gu Yao's classmates or friends in the hope that he would accept the invitation. Even the eight ancient clans were no exception. Dugu Feng also received instructions from the family and tried to incorporate Gu Yao into Yunuo.
County establishment.
Gu Yao touched his nose: "Haha, Dugufeng, you should know very well that I am not a person who likes to be controlled. Okay, the graduation ceremony is about to begin, I will take the first step, and you two will slowly romance, hey!
"
After saying that, he opened his arms and fell straight behind the tower.
This is the top of a sacred tower hundreds of meters high, but neither Dugu Feng nor Carlo are worried about him. They know very well how outstanding Gu Yao's Qinggong is.
Carlo muttered: "Hey, this kid! It took a lot of effort to find him, but he said he was running away. He's a free warrior. He's really useless. Fengfeng, don't worry, I will persuade him again after I return to the dormitory.
Until he agrees!"
"Forget it, he doesn't want to be a freedom warrior, but has other goals! I just complete the family's explanation as a routine, and that's fine." Dugu Feng rolled her eyes at him: "Also, don't call me Feng Feng, it's disgusting!
"
Carlo said with a straight face: "This is a little more friendly. By the way, what does the second child want? Why don't you tell us?"
Dugufeng didn't protest this time, but just sighed: "We can't give him what he wants, maybe no one in the world can give it to him!"
Carlo was full of doubts: "What, is it a star? Damn it, does the second brother want me to help him pick the stars?"
Just as the two of them said a few words, Gu Yao had already fallen to a place only more than ten meters above the ground.
Of course, the fifth-ranked graduate of the Holy Academy would not fall to his death like this.
Gu Yao's body stretched out in the air, gliding gracefully like a swallow, and landed steadily on the ground. His movements were smooth and natural.
Since blending with Luo Shimei's yin and yang, accidents of losing control of fighting spirit have never happened again. They have become Gu Yao's tools tamely. The body no longer absorbs elemental power from space on its own, but after having a solid foundation,
You can always improve steadily through practice.
As soon as he landed, Gu Yao saw a woman in front of him.
In the past four years, everyone has been changing, maturing step by step, both physically and psychologically.
After the 18th female transformation, Duanmu Qing is now even more beautiful and graceful.
Apparently, this was no coincidence.
Gu Yao spoke first: "Well, Duanmu Qing, what's the matter?"
In the past few years, the relationship between the two has been neither salty nor cold, and they have never been able to take it any further. The main reason is Gu Yao.
After Han Dan was kidnapped and Gu Yao spent several months in pain, Duanmuqing tentatively raised the question again.
However, Gu Yao denied it, and in the next few years, he devoted all his energy to study and training, losing interest in anything, day after day, until he graduated.
Duanmu Qing hesitated slightly: "Gu Yao, on behalf of the Duanmu family, I would like to extend an invitation to you. I hope you can join Lance County. Is that okay?"
It was the same invitation, but Gu Yao rejected many, including his eldest brother Xia Houjin, his prospective sister-in-law Dugu Feng, and others who had nothing to do with him and didn't even bother to reply.
But this invitation cannot be compared with others. It comes from the Duanmu family and Duanmu Qing, which is of extremely important significance.
If he accepts the invitation, then Gu Yao can become a member of Lance County and will undoubtedly be taken seriously.
Then he has the confidence to rise to the top with his own abilities. Then, with the strength and status, he can legitimately pursue Duanmu Qing. The Duanmu family should be very satisfied with such an outstanding talent. Even becoming Chenglong's son-in-law is not just a luxury.
Aren’t these all things you dreamed of before entering the academy?
The realization of your wish is just around the corner, and there seems to be no need to hesitate at all.
Gu Yao was silent for a long time, but then slowly uttered three words: "I'm sorry!"
