Chapter 115 The Fourth Assessment Task
Zhao Yuxi used musical notes to see through the truth of the "illusion" of paper and pen: the paper and pen your two friends held were almost the same as the real thing. The pen and paper you made looked similar to the real thing, but there were slight differences in the outline. This is only one aspect, there are many other differences.

She unfolded the asymptotic domain and scanned all the people in front of her, coming to some strange conclusions.

The asymptotic rates of your two friends have changed, one from modern to modern, and the other from contemporary to modern. In addition, the asymptotic rate of the girl is only a hair's breadth away from the transition stage. What method did you use to almost fill up her cumulative qualitative variable? Since you have such a method, why do you only use it on a few people?

The most inexplicable thing, and the thing I can't understand the most, is still you. You two have the same asymptotic rate and the same domain radius, just like a person's left hand and right hand. This relationship is too... How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Moreover, you two are in the same town, and your families are not far away. From a probability perspective, it is impossible for two medieval people to be born in such a small distance.

Either you are too lucky, or you have an extraordinary origin, these are the two possibilities. But to be honest, if it is the latter, it is also good. The stronger you are, the better it is for me, because we will be inseparable allies. It is undoubtedly a good thing for allies to become stronger. But there is still a troublesome thing at the moment: I can see these unusual places, and of course Gu Tingzhou can too, what will he think?
Gu Tingzhou did not open the asymptotic domain, and he was unaware of the asymptotic rate and domain radius. He took out his weapon: "Can this be copied?"

What he wanted to understand was: If you can copy your friend's physical body, it might be because you have done this before, but unless you can copy my weapon, it would be a real skill.

Mu Zhengguang did not copy the branch dean's weapon step by step. Instead, he took out an almost faded scene from his memory and used it to summon up another thing.

One red and one blue, the two collided, and Gu Tingzhou's heartbeat slowed down, and he had a premonition of impending disaster. He thought that another branch dean was plotting against him, but when he looked back, he realized it was an illusion: Zhao Yuxi was sitting there without moving, and the notes had already dissipated.

The two weapons overlapped slightly, and hot and dazzling sparks flew and scattered. Gu Tingzhou felt increasingly uneasy and reached out to retract his weapon.

The collision between the real and the imaginary shattered the authority of the dean of the branch, and Gu Tingzhou's eyes showed rare admiration and doubt. This collision also broke up the original solidified atmosphere, and people talked about it, probably because they saw something incredible.

Xu Wanyang also took out the physical object and asked Mu Zhengguang to copy it, and Mu Zhengguang gladly accepted it.

Afterwards, several more people did the same, and Mu Zhengguang treated them all equally, depicting their entities with patience and care. Before the first dish was served, he once again depicted the confrontation between red and blue, both of which were virtual images, which was a relatively perfect ending for the performance.

After the banquet, Mu Zhengguang asked relatives and friends to leave first, while he and Xu Ying stayed and "confronted" the two branch deans.

Zhao Yuxi was the leader of this drama. When the irrelevant people left, she spoke first: "You will pass the third assessment soon. If you pass three assessments, you can become the dean of the fourth-level branch, but only managing one or two cities does not meet our expectations. Gu Tingzhou and I have prepared the fourth assessment for you, which is not difficult. After passing the test, defeat us and be promoted to the dean of the third-level branch."

Xu Ying went straight to the point: "Can the Middle Ages win against the Ancients?"

"Don't worry, if we fight at the same stage and level, it won't be easy to beat me as long as you play normally. But Gu Tingzhu is very powerful, and it will be very difficult to defeat him."

Xu Yingze and Mu Zhengguang realized that Gu Tingzhou was also an ancient. The "same level" mentioned by Zhao Yuxi did not only refer to the same position, but also the asymptotic rate of these two people was also very close.

Gu Tingzhou felt his face turn red when he heard this: "Why do you praise me for no reason? Is it good for you to praise me so highly? Although I have never fought with you, I know that your strength is not weaker than mine."

"President Zhao is too modest. You and I are equally matched. If I can beat you, I can beat me. It won't be difficult. Mu Zhengguang, let me be your examiner. What do you think? You can make a tool similar to my weapon. You use your strength to drive your tool, and I use my strength to drive my tool. The victory or defeat will be decided by the tool."

Using tools to decide the outcome is a good suggestion. It can avoid physical harm. Mu Zhengguang agrees with this very much: "Okay. When is the battle?"

"I'll come back to you after you pass the four tests. You should have enough time to make the tools. Don't let me down."

"Then we'll have to wait and see. Dean Gu is my examiner, so Xu Yingze's examiner is Dean Zhao?"

Zhao Yuxi looked at Xu Yingze, and she made an assurance when answering the question: "Of course. I don't like fighting and killing either. Fighting and killing is bad for the body, and I'm not good at it. I will use my ability to tailor a set of assessment rules for you, and I will definitely make you pass." Her intentions were obvious. The behind-the-scenes operations that most people were reluctant to talk about were brought up by her and discussed openly.

Xu Ying "appreciated" her style: "Then I would like to express my gratitude here first, President Zhao."

"You're welcome. There are 17 prefecture-level cities in the province, and they will all belong to us. I look forward to that day coming soon. Dean Gu, it's time for us to go."

Dean Gu had a good impression of Mu Zhengguang and said hello to him before leaving: "Goodbye."

Mu Zhengguang responded: "Goodbye."

Only light and darkness remained in the room.

After seeing off the two branch deans, Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief. She was finally able to express her "brilliant opinion" about the branch deans: "In theory, Zhao Yuxi's words are credible. Since she gave her a chance, she must want to seize it. How about you? Do you have any ideas on how to defeat the branch deans?"

Mu Zhengguang suddenly remembered the inexplicable thoughts that had arisen in his mind when the virtual and the real collided: "Not yet, but don't worry, I'll just go back and look for similar cases."

"If you need manpower or material resources, please let me know and I will ask the director to help."

"Probably not. I'm going to go see my parents. What are your plans for the afternoon?"

"I'm not busy recently and don't have any plans. I suggest you find a time to tell your friends about what happened today so that they don't think too much. I'll talk to Xu Wanyang and Xu Mingsong."

"Okay, I understand. I'll be leaving first then?"

"Let's go, let's go, I'm leaving too. Come find me if you have something to do, or not, I'm usually at home."

"Ah."

Mu Zhengguang entered the next private room, Wu Zao arrived here before him. When he came in, he just heard his father talking about his "shortcomings" and "past events", which roughly meant: Mu Zhengguang often did not go to school throughout the second year of high school, missed a lot of classes, and his study attitude was not as good as your daughter's.

The smell of alcohol, cigarettes, voices and noise all made Mu Zhengguang feel disgusted. He stayed here for a while and walked out of the house without saying a word.

The sudden arrival and departure of the "host" broke the "atmosphere" and "customs" in the house. The talking and laughing in the house stopped abruptly, and only half a minute later could any words be heard.

"Please keep those words that you shouldn't say. Don't say them in front of him, and don't say them outside of his presence. Have you forgotten how your son looked when he heard your wish last night?"

Mu Zhaochen was just talking nonsense because he was drunk. Hearing his wife's scolding, he felt very uncomfortable. He shuddered and half sobered up. The scene of last night suddenly appeared in front of him: his wish was not complicated, but not simple. After hearing the wish, his son's eyes were dull and dim.
