Chapter 106 Active Exam Preparation
Chapter 106 Active Exam Preparation
"Wow, we have so much money now!" Gu Shijiu's eyes lit up.
She was afraid she had miscalculated and wanted to calculate it again.
Shi Qi roughly considered it in her mind. The main thing was the rewards from "The Great Xia War God". Even if there were mistakes, the difference shouldn't be too big.
However, he did not stop Gu Shijiu.
Sure enough, after calculating it again, the number remained the same.
Gu Shijiu excitedly planned, "Shiqi, has the recruitment season already started? We've saved enough tuition fees, let's go take the exam."
Originally, the two planned to retake the exam next year because they couldn't afford the tuition.
But looking at it now, the tuition is already enough.
When Shi Qi thought of those so-called actors in the Immortal Realm, she felt that these schools might not be as good as they thought.
"We haven't started preparing yet, so we might not pass the exam."
Gu Shijiu thought it was no big deal: "You've already won the Best Actor award, how could you not even pass the entrance exam?"
Seeing that she was very enthusiastic, Shi Qi didn't want to spoil her fun.
"Then let's choose a school first, then register. We won't go to Little World for a while, and we'll focus on preparing for the exam."
Gu Shijiu immediately agreed: "Okay."
Shi Qi shared the news with her fans, who were delighted and recommended educational supplementary books to them.
Upon learning this, Zhao Qing also donated her study materials free of charge.
"Although each sect is different, the content of the exam is roughly the same."
First, conduct a preliminary review to eliminate candidates who do not meet the requirements;
The second round is the preliminary test, which is usually a theoretical exam, mostly in written form.
The third round is the re-examination, which is usually still a theoretical exam;
However, it's no longer a written test; the examiners ask questions directly, and each person's questions are different.
The final round is the interview, where you have to perform a short skit for the examiners.
The examiners are usually senior figures in the sect; they will evaluate your performance and ultimately select the new disciples for the year.
Gu Shijiu was a bit overwhelmed; there were so many theoretical exams!
How is she supposed to get through this?
Shi Qi flipped through the relevant books she had received from Zhao Qing; the content was quite complex.
I wish there was something that could enhance memory.
Thinking of this, Shi Qi searched for related questions on Weibo.
Unexpectedly, it actually exists, but now he and Gu Shijiu can forget about it.
Either their cultivation level has increased to a certain point, resulting in extremely strong mental power;
Either you obtain some rare and precious materials that can increase your spiritual power.
In short, memory, reading ability, and so on are directly proportional to mental strength.
That's related to cultivation. Shi Qi returned to the cultivation space and asked San Jiu some more questions.
According to Sanjiu, after cultivating to a high level, one can not only project their mental energy to do small things, but also generate offensive power.
Some powerful beings can manifest their spiritual energy in a way that is almost equal to their actual physical strength.
Even if one dies unexpectedly, their spiritual power can remain for a long time.
If the right opportunity arises, one can reshape their physical body and continue cultivating.
Shi Qi hadn't paid attention to this before, but looking at it this way, isn't it similar to the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation he had seen in novels before?
It's like having an extra life.
It seems I need to increase my mental strength more in the future.
Since I've decided to take the exam, I naturally need to choose a school carefully.
Even with Sanjiu's help, Shi Qi and Gu Shijiu still couldn't find a suitable sect.
Most arts and literature sects require at least a beginner level six cultivation, and some sects also have restrictions on works and age.
For cultivators, reaching the sixth level of the initial stage is not a difficult task.
Some people who ascend from the lower realms may have intermediate or even advanced cultivation levels right from the start.
Even someone with low strength like Zhao Qing can eventually meet the requirements as long as they cultivate for a long enough time.
Other restrictions are more complicated.
Having acted in a play doesn't necessarily mean you have a body of work; after all, anyone who has participated in actor auditions can be considered to have acted in a play.
Instead, there are regulations regarding the number of fans, the number of views of the works, and the number of star tickets.
For example, the Central Academy of Arts, which Zhao Qing wanted to apply to, required applicants to be under 200 years old and have a cultivation level of at least Level 8 (Elementary Level).
You also need to have at least three works with more than 10 views.
The entry requirements alone can filter out a large number of people, and the subsequent exams are said to be very difficult as well.
In the end, Shi Qi and Gu Shijiu chose a sect that did not require cultivation level—Xin Yi Zhai.
This is a small sect, with only about a hundred people in total, from the sect leader to the disciples.
The reason for choosing this one is that the location of this sect is very close to the Fairy Tale Kingdom;
Secondly, this sect sent invitations to Shi Qi and Gu Shijiu very early on.
It's currently the enrollment season, and Shi Qi and Gu Shijiu's sect invitations have included a lot of new information.
This may be related to their increased strength and the resulting increase in public attention.
Upon closer inspection, Shi Qi noticed that the sects that had recently extended olive branches were significantly stronger than the earliest ones.
However, this is just a trial run for them; even if they pass the exam, they don't necessarily have to go to school.
After choosing their sect and registering their names, Shi Qi pulled Gu Shijiu aside for some intense review.
Having attended high school twice and passed the college entrance examination, Shi Qi is no stranger to intensive exam preparation.
Gu Shijiu was different; she barely graduated from junior high school.
Almost the moment she saw the study plan, she wanted to give up.
"Actually... you can go and study, I can accompany you."
Gu Shijiu tried hard to make herself appear sincere and reliable.
Shi Qi had seen this kind of academically challenged attitude many times at school.
“Ajiu, you have to believe in yourself. You’re not stupid, you just don’t work hard enough.”
"As long as you study hard, you will definitely pass the exam."
Shi Qi even had the room's smart assistant hang a virtual countdown timer in the living room.
The one-bedroom, one-living-room layout seemed a bit insufficient at this point.
They could only set up a table in the living room as a temporary study space.
Gu Shijiu was a little confused: "Why do we need to set up this table?"
Smart bracelets can completely enable their consciousness to enter a virtual space for holographic learning.
It doesn't matter where a person is or what posture they are in.
Besides taking up space, what other purpose does this table serve?
"This is to increase the sense of urgency in exam preparation and make us nervous about it."
Shi Qi has always been a person who values rituals.
"Alright, all ready. Our goal today is to finish learning this book!"
In the virtual space, a thick book suddenly appeared in Shi Qi's hand.
Out of personal preference, he designed all his learning materials to resemble physical books on Earth.
Sure enough, Gu Shijiu was more receptive to this kind of book.
However, it's impossible to finish learning an entire book in a single day.
Gu Shijiu's eyes felt a little dizzy: "This book has more than 200 pages."
"Haven't our mental strength increased quite a bit?"
Compared to when his mental strength was only a two-digit number starting with 1 when he first arrived, Shi Qi felt that his learning ability was definitely much stronger now.
"Do you want to see my intelligence data?" Gu Shijiu asked listlessly, slumped over the table in the virtual classroom.
