At the entrance of the cinema, there were many souvenir vendors mingling with the crowd selling replicas of the crown of thorns worn by Ladislaus in the movie to the audiences who had left. [Read the latest chapter] There were many young men and women in the square who bought them and put them on their heads. Zheng Wenwen also took out her change and bought two. She and Gu Hanhan each had one and put them on their heads.
The shape of this kind of crown is quite strange. It is made of metal material drawn into the shape of a thorn branch. It forms a circle with four branches and a huge gem in the sky. Under the light and shadow of the movie, there is always a kind of light with a certain sacred color, which matches Ladislaus's handsome face, which is extremely charming.
Of course, the tiaras sold by hawkers for 50 cents must be very rough and incomparable with the ones in the movies. In the movie, the crown of thorns is made of some kind of precious metal alloy with a soft shimmer. What the vendor sells is a gray-white aluminum bar with a lot of impurities. In the movie, it's a natural gemstone that glows by itself. What the vendor sells is plastic beads coated with luminescent agent. . The crown in the movie exudes an aristocratic air from the inside out, and the hawker has a silky style from head to toe. However, since this thing was imitated from the tiara of Ladislaus, the two girls, as die-hard fans, put it on their heads and walked among the crowd very proudly, regardless of its crudeness.
There were still many people in the square, and they walked through the crowd towards the center of the square. Holding the crown on her head with her hands, Zheng Wenwen chatted with Gu Hanhan about the gossip they overheard while watching a movie just now: Those two people sitting in the row in front of us, yes, just to the left, they seem to be in a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend. Yes, I heard them talking about it, it seems that this kind of crown looks very similar to the holy crown of thorns from the Galaxy Temple. Have you heard of it, Hanhan?
I've never heard of it. Gu Hanhan shook his head decisively and said without even thinking about it, I only know about the Galaxy Temple Cult. The "Foreign Family Hotel Business Guide" my mother got back from the tourism bureau said that the Galaxy Temple Cult is one of the three major religions in the galaxy. It seems that there is a market in colonial planets. Hundreds of countries in the Galaxy Alliance have announced this Is the Temple the state religion?
State religion? Does there still exist such a thing as a state religion? I thought it was a term that only appeared in history books. Zheng Wenwen burst out laughing, almost choking on her own saliva, and then she laughed: Isn't the so-called religion a relic of the uncivilized period of mankind? Now we are in the post-Galaxy era, and this is about to break out of the Milky Way and reach the entire universe. Why is there still a country in the Galaxy Alliance playing this? Return to state religion? Come and learn from me, which country in this country is so cool?
Hanhan thought carefully about this review, but the result was still shaking his head: Then who remembers it? I just glanced at it and didn't take it seriously at all. Anyway, there are quite a few countries, and it’s quite a long list of names.
anything else?
what else?
That Galaxy Temple Cult? Zheng Wenwen asked in a gossipy spirit, what are their sacred objects, legends, etc.? Ah, and the Holy Crown of Thorns. Why does the crown worn by Ladislaus look so similar to it? Do you remember that every time the Hecate was in danger, the gems on Ladisros's crown would sparkle, and then they would always be able to save the day.
That means our Ladislaus is wise and brave, unparalleled in the universe, okay?
Maybe there is some reason...
How do I know this? Miss, I just happened to read two pages of a slow-selling book that the tourist bureau forced me to buy when my mother wanted to go out to play mahjong so she exploited me to guard the store for her! Gu Hanhan said bitterly, as for the mysterious and mysterious sacred objects of the small religion in the depths of the universe, which are both profound and powerful, probably only the old antiques who specialize in religion would know about it, right? No one on earth believes it anyway! Fortunately no one believed it! Otherwise, in those countries where the Temple Church is the state religion, maybe we won’t be allowed to sell this fake product!
That's right, it's really unlikely that the reference book issued by the tourism bureau would write those things. So, the two people in front of us are probably college students majoring in religion at the university... They are so unpopular, boring and useless. Zheng Wenwen nodded and muttered in a low voice. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, her voice rose an octave. : Speaking of majors, Hanhan, August is only a few days away, and the results of the college entrance examination are about to be announced! Are you sure what major you will study after entering university?
Not yet... When it comes to the college entrance examination and majors, Gu Hanhan is a bit listless: It should be a major in hotel management or tourism...
All in all, it’s about running a family hotel, right? Zheng Wenwen looked like she had known this before and said sarcastically, "You really plan to take over your mother's gun and destroy the hotel that has been passed down from generation to generation!" How boring is the job of dealing with aliens all day long!
Why are you talking about this? I already have enough headaches about applying for this damn college entrance examination. I finally ran out on my birthday today - my 18th birthday, miss. It’s my only 18th birthday in my life. It’s my adult night. You really know how to do it. Disappointing!
No, I just asked here as I mentioned it! I don’t want to learn about tourist hotels. I’ve been staying in hotels since I was a child, and I’ve been bored to death by the many rustic aliens who come and go. I was looking forward to changing my major as soon as I went to college, and then selling my hotel to get money so that I could change my career.
Who says it isn't? Gu Hanhan agreed with heartfelt feelings. In fact, he had had enough of the Star Hotel.
Zheng Wenwen avenged Gu Hanhan's injustice: It's true that your mother still let you choose even though you didn't like it!
Gu Hanhan shook his head and said: What should we do? If there are no extra points for social practice, you know, with my grades, there is basically no hope of going to any third-rate or higher university on the planet. After all, I only have some experience in earth tourism and accommodation, and I can get extra points through assessments. Therefore, the only major I could choose was this one. I can’t completely blame my mother. I have no plans to leave the earth and go to college on other colonial planets.
Hearing what Gu Hanhan said, Zheng Wenwen couldn't help but nod: That's right, a colonial star is still a colonial star no matter what, and it can't be compared with the earth! It is better to stay on Earth and study in a third-rate university than to go to a colonial star to study in a first-rate university! Even though you go to school on a colonial planet, you don’t necessarily have to stay after graduation. The reservation convention also clearly stipulates that the indigenous people of Earth who study and work on colonial stars can retain their citizenship of the Federal Republic of Earth as long as they pass quarantine without changing their household registration or nationality. But the question is, who knows what will happen after four years of college? What if we eat too much extraterrestrial fruits and vegetables in four years and fail the quarantine, forcing us to become aliens?
Speaking of this, Zheng Wenwen paused for a moment, and her tone became hesitant: Just... stay on earth to go to university, even a third-rate university, professionally...
There is nothing we can do! Gu Hanhan finished the next words for Zheng Wenwen.
For ordinary girls like Gu Hanhan and Zheng Wenwen, who are in their third year of high school, the most important thing in life is to work hard for the college entrance examination and strive to get into a good university on earth.
Of course, universities like Tianda University, Earth University, and Federal National University are all first-rate universities in the galaxy. It's good to be able to get into them, but it's normal not to be able to get into them. After all, the proud men of the entire galaxy are watching with eager eyes, and the universities on Earth are so popular!
No normal person would force this.
Being able to get into a university that is first-rate on earth or second-rate in the Milky Way is something to be proud of. You can be praised by your neighbors as a role model for educating your own children. On a more general level, if you can get into a second-rate university on earth, but not a first-rate university in the galaxy, you can almost have a celebratory drink. Even worse, if you can get into a third-rate university, you are finally on Earth, and you have something to say, which is not satisfactory. The worst kind, the kind who couldn't get into any exam in the first place, simply gave up. Anyway, they would probably end up working as a waiter in a high-end restaurant in the future. The most troublesome ones are those like Gu Hanhan and Zheng Wenwen, who are more beautiful in appearance, have fewer talents, and have lower grades - but not so low that they are completely hopeless.
If you can get into college, it’s alien.
I really pissed my parents off.
In short, people like them. If you want to stay on Earth and go to college, you have to think of something else.
Is there any way?
some.
Regardless of those who are particularly rich or powerful, the unified examination of the Galaxy Alliance for general higher education admissions is quite fair, just and open, and it is basically impossible for anyone to cheat. Of course, black-box operations are immortal in the universe, outlasting the stars. To be honest, if you are rich enough to buy several galaxies, or powerful enough to dominate a country, then naturally any university can be regarded as nothing. The key is that there aren't many people like this in the entire universe. The vast majority of people in the alliance still have to rely on legal channels to go to college.
The legal way to realize the wishes of those poor children who are almost able to go to college on Earth is two extra points: specialty points and social practice points.
The full name of specialty points is new human special ability points. As the name suggests, it is extra points for special functions. It's a long story, but to make it short, after entering the Milky Way and alien colonization, due to a small amount of cosmic rays or the inability of aliens and spacecraft to fully simulate the ecological environment on the Earth's mother planet, a very small number of humans will suffer from this. Slight mutations have occurred, giving them special abilities that the indigenous people of the earth do not have.
This special ability may be beneficial or harmful. In line with the principle of guiding people with special abilities to benefit society, the alliance stipulates that for certain abilities, depending on the situation, the college entrance examination admission will be scored from 50 to 200 of extra points. Of course, the special abilities brought by this mutation are unlikely to be available to ordinary earth girls like Gu Hanhan and Zheng Wenwen who have never jumped into space and have only been to the moon during interstellar travel. In fact, the vast majority of Earth's natives do not.
What can really help these two girls is social practice points.
Social practice points, what do you say about this thing? He is just a cheating device, specially designed for candidates from Earth.
The Earth Federal Government encourages middle school students over the age of sixteen to actively participate in social activities. According to the special bill passed by the 1143rd plenary session of the Earth Federation Parliament, Earth Federation citizens who take the general college entrance examination and apply for majors related to their social activities in universities in the Earth Federation region can rely on government departments and social groups when enrolling in the college entrance examination. Or a certificate issued by the enterprise will receive 5-30 points of social practice bonus.
Compared with the specialty points, the bonus points for social practice are indeed a bit pitiful, and there is also the disadvantage of professional restrictions. However, no matter how pitiful it is, it is still a bonus for the college entrance examination. For the highly competitive college entrance examination battlefield, every extra point is precious. Have you ever seen how many parents go around treating guests, giving gifts, and asking for favors just for a mere 5 points of extra points for social practice? They wish that all the eighteen generations of their ancestors would have some kind of relationship. Who makes this social practice bonus point so many places that make people smile?
The college entrance examination, the college entrance examination, is not only a test for students, but also a test for parents!
In the parent examination, Gu Hanhan's mother has a natural advantage.
Gu Hanhan's mother, a middle-aged and promising woman known as Ms. Li Shufen, is currently running an interstellar hotel inherited from Gu Hanhan's grandfather. Although this interstellar hotel barely covers an area of more than 130,000 square meters, it is less than one-twentieth of the Royal Holiday Hotel in the Summer Palace. But after all, it is an interstellar hotel that is officially registered and taxed by the district government, and its name can also be found on the tourist bureau’s directory of foreign-related hotels.
Gu Hanhan's mother, Ms. Li Shufen, as a hotel legal person, only exchanged certificates with her peers, so it was easy to get 10 points for Gu Hanhan's professional practice in tourism. If you go to the tourist bureau and spend some money to find acquaintances, this score can be increased to 15 points. Furthermore, if Ms. Li can take the risk of being accused of child labor, 20 points is not completely out of reach.
Gu Hanhan's difference was only ten to twenty points.
As for Zheng Wenwen, her situation is similar to Gu Hanhan. Zheng Wenwen's family also runs the Star Hotel, and Zheng Wenwen's mother, Mrs. Zheng, can also get these ten to twenty points for Zheng Wenwen. Zheng Wenwen's grades were just average, and she was about the same as Gu Hanhan. How else could they be said to be a duo of unscrupulous girls?
The only difference between them is that it doesn't matter what major Gu Hanhan studies, as long as he can go to college on Earth. Zheng Wenwen was very envious of the high-heeled employee at the import and export company, so she became confused and decided to major in earth trade.
This is very bad.
Regardless of the fact that the earth trade major is the most popular major in the galaxy, the competition is fierce. There is really no overlap between the people who run interstellar hotels and those who sell local products from Earth! Even if there is, it is a hostile relationship with sparks flying around.
All in all, proof of extra points for social practice cannot be obtained. How could Zheng Wenwen be admitted to a university on Earth without getting any extra points and relying solely on her test scores?
Therefore, when it comes to the dialectical relationship between a good university and a good major, although Zheng Wenwen is tough-minded, she can't help but feel a little sad.
I don’t know if there are many people applying for the land trade major this year? It would be great if no one dared to apply, and the score would definitely be lowered. The year before last year, because no one dared to apply, Huangzhuang University's land trade major only scored 320 points, which was lower than classical philosophy...
Scholars from Huangzhuang University, the town's university, are just across the street from Zheng Wenwen's hotel. The size, reputation, and even employment of teachers are completely lacking. Let's put it this way, as long as Zheng Wenwen has enough points to get into other schools, there is no way she can consider going to college under her mother's nose. This shows how low her goals are.
Seeing Zheng Wenwen's frown getting tighter, Gu Hanhan hurriedly touched her hand and said: Hey, don't think about it. Anyway, there is still time before applying for a volunteer. Now that the results have not come down, it is too early to worry. Aunt Zheng also There is always a way! Today is my eighteenth birthday, my adult night. We promised to have a good day, let's go have a big meal!
Hearing what she said, Zheng Wenwen also cheered up and said with high spirits: Let's go find food! Ha, Hanhan is going to treat you today! Let's hurry up. It's National Day today, and by dinner time, there will definitely be no seats in the restaurants in the underground city!
Who said you have to go to a dungeon to eat? Gu Hanhan said with a mysterious and proud look on his face, "Tonight we will have dinner at a high-end restaurant on the ground!"
After Zheng Wenwen heard this, she immediately felt like she was struck by lightning and yelled: Damn it, Han Han, that kind of restaurant specializes in killing aliens!
No wonder Zheng Wenwen had such a big reaction, the restaurant on the ground is really not for the aboriginal people of the earth.
Long before the beginning of the macrocosm era, the main body of human cities was already below the ground. The only urban structures above the ground are residential towns and public facilities such as parks, museums, hospitals, schools, city halls, and libraries. Even if there are dining, entertainment, shopping and leisure venues on the ground, they are very expensive - in fact, they are not expensive. According to federal law, such business premises will be heavily taxed as long as they are opened above the ground, so they are very expensive. Not selling luxury goods.
Five hundred years after the opening of the macrocosmic era, a wide range of genetic mutation diseases broke out in the human world of excursions. Geotherapy became popular and the earth's resources were in unprecedented demand. According to the "Galaxy Alliance Environment and Species of the Origin of Humankind" signed in 3658 AD, According to the "Convention on the Protection of Earth", the earth is strictly divided into large reservation areas that restrict aliens from entering and small foreign-related areas that allow aliens to recuperate, travel and shop.
——The former has low prices, fresh air, and beautiful environment, but if aliens want to enter, they must pay an almost sky-high earth resource compensation tax on a daily basis. Not many people in the universe can afford this kind of money. Of course, the latter also has to pay taxes, but it is much cheaper than the reserved area. Although the foreign-related area is cheap, the environment is much worse than the reserved area, and the prices are extremely expensive - there is no way, there are too many aliens who come to earth to buy goods!
As a result, all the high-end dining, entertainment, shopping and leisure places on the ground were owned by aliens in the Foreign Zone who made a lot of money. As for ordinary earth natives, although they can also go, it is actually completely unnecessary. Because there is no difference between vegetables priced at 100 yuan in high-end restaurants on the ground and vegetables served in underground cities for 1 yuan a plate, except for the degree of presentation. They have no benefit other than satisfying a certain kind of special psychology.
