Chapter 116 The Beginning of a Chapter Part One (1/2)
On the edge of the exam venue, outside the warning line, there were several soldiers armed with rifles. They were yelling loudly at a group of people. ”Stop!”
There were three people dressed in formal attire. One of them carried a camera on his shoulder, another held a microphone in his hand, and the last one had a notebook for taking notes.
”We are from Chang'an TV Station. This is our work permit. Our interviews were approved by the Chang'an City Government.”
The first soldier's eyes were cold as he said, ”We have received orders. Unless you have an admission ticket or a work permit, no one other than the invigilator can enter the venue!”
The female reporter smiled and became rigid. She turned her head to take out her phone and quietly called her director.
”Director, we can't get in...”
”We have said we have the permission of the Chang'an City government... but it doesn't seem to work.”
In the end, the reporters were stopped outside the venue. They felt helpless. They most likely would just use drones to take a couple of photographs.
However, they couldn't return empty handed. How would they answer to their superiors when their director would not care for excuses? If they couldn't come back with anything, it would mean that they failed in their professionalism.
”Why don't we interview some of the candidates after the exam venue?” asked the female assistant who was responsible for taking notes. They couldn't get into the venue to record, but no one would stop them from interviewing candidates, right?
However, after interviewing a few candidates, they were unsatisfied with the results. They all gave standard answers. For example, ”I hope I do well, I feel very confident, I thank my parents.”
These weren't bad answers, but they were not going to attract people's attention. It was the kind of news that would be forgotten as soon as it was seen.
”Hey. How about we interview that student?” the videographer said, and suddenly turned the camera to a student in the distance riding a spider.
Behind the student was a humanoid monster wearing a black robe. There was also a centipede that was 20 feet long.
He had three familiars!
This was a student with the highest number of familiars that they had ever seen. They ran to Gao Peng.
The cameraman turned on to start recording.
”Hello, can we interview you?” the female reporter smiled. She habitually pushed her hair behind her ear. She cleared her throat to prepare asking her questions.
”No you can't,” Gao Peng answered concisely.
Gao Peng then rode Stripey past the female reporter. The female reporter didn't know how to react. Something felt wrong.
Silly looked at the female reporter in interest. It then swung its tentacles around and left Gao Peng's shoulder, flying towards the female reporter, landing on her head.
This scene was recorded by the camera. The female reporter's head felt sticky and uncomfortable. Her scalp was numb. She didn't know what it was, but this cold touch nearly made her scream.
”What is on my head?” The female reporter asked the photographer. She sounded like she was about to cry.
”A crown.”
”A crown?!”
The female reporter was stunned. What the hell was it?
After Gao Peng was away from the reporters, he rushed to the examination room. He did not want to be on TV.
There was a long queue in front of the entrance to the examination venue. There were more than a dozen sensory machines in front. The Monster Trainer College Entrance Examination was really strict.
Gao Peng jumped down from Stripey. He walked forward and handed the admission ticket to the soldiers at the front gate, who returned it after checking and told Gao Peng to line up.
