Zhu Zhengwei glanced at Bill Hughes.
This Spirit Realm rchant may be as exploited as myself, wouldn’t you say?
After all, no one expected it.
That the Great Tang imperial examination would be such a truth.
All successful candidates are assigned positions after the examination, and through the repeated restarting of the Chang’an City world, they are tested in various roles to discover their most suitable potential.
Even the candidates themselves can’t detect that ti has restarted!
And under such a terrifying imperial examination system, with Chang’an City as the central point of the Mortal Realm, it pushes civilization forward at an extrely terrifying pace, madly advancing...
"Oh, isn’t this the Ghost Witch Doctor?" Bill Hughes exclaid, looking at this fellow countryman, "I heard that from our batch in the Spirit Realm, quite a few have shown remarkable talent."
"In our little world, three of us passed the examination, and the rankings are quite high." He showed a gentle smile, still exuding knowledge and grace.
"Just a coincidence." Zhu Zhengwei replied.
In fact, the real talent was just him; neither he nor the Minotaur were natives of the Red Moon world, just using that world as a stepping stone to gain legal status.
Soon, the six people who alighted from the carriage were escorted deep into the palace.
While walking, they also took the opportunity to converse.
Zhu Zhengwei and Bill Hughes began to exchange words.
Bill Hughes said, "Oh, His Majesty discovered my talents, and I work at the Coinage Workshop.... Although I’m not sure what outstanding achievents the other might have made in different world lines... the final result is remarkable, with the Spirit Coin having a new version that might affect the Great Tang’s developnt system...."
He showed a hint of pride, "Though I’m not sure what the other did exactly, it’s clear that no matter which world line, I have an astonishing passion for minting coins! Surely, it’s this enthusiasm from countless universes of mine that touched His Majesty!"
Zhu Zhengwei: "....."
He seed to see Bill Hughes’ eyes turning into coins.
Truly a great capitalist...
However, unlike Zhu Zhengwei’s vigilance and trepidation, the newly appointed officials around him from the examination seed not to resist this "miracle of ti" much!
So even expressed gratitude to His Majesty for allowing them to try various work positions and discover their unique talents, making themselves shine like gold.
To them, what their other selves did in another tiline was not a concern.
"It seems to indeed be that way... to them, it’s a favor of recognition." Zhu Zhengwei mused, "But for soone like with hidden motives... not knowing what the countless other tilines of myself have done, whether I’ve been tested... would bring ineffable fear."
Nevertheless, Zhu Zhengwei believed that even if he can’t rember the past iterations, he would never expose his true self.
Quickly, as they kept moving forward, they arrived at a resplendent palace where a hazy presence sat, none other than the reigning monarch.
Surrounding him were officials with similarly blurred faces, filling the hall.
Currently, it was ti for court.
"Summoning the six of you today is because in this imperial examination, apart from the conventional talents, there are six special talents who can be pillars of the Great Tang." A voice brimming with majesty and age echoed from above, "And you six, I have new positions to assign..."
"Mr. Li."
As the emperor spoke, a tall, handso man promptly stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, I am here."
"Although your abilities in other areas are ordinary, your talent in land planning is quite stunning. You once led the Jiantu Seventh Branch to build the structure of the East City District of Chang’an, introducing planning concepts not seen in thousands of years, a remarkable feat..."
"I appoint you imdiately, starting as a Fourth-Grade Vice Minister of the Ministry of Land and Construction."
The young man below was startled and quickly expressed his gratitude by kneeling.
Although he had only been in the court for a century!
Essentially a newcor among newcors, yet it appeared he had leapfrogged in status without accumulating experience!
Even though he might’ve worked hard and achieved sothing significant in parallel tilines...
He had no mory of it, and at his age of just over a hundred, being a Fourth-Grade official in the capital city of the Great Tang dynasty was already a position second-most in power.
He seed unchanged in rank.
Though many positions aren’t asured by rank, this was a position of real power, and highly authoritative.
"Seems impressive." Below, Zhu Zhengwei sowhat didn’t understand.
Was this departnt solely about land construction? Or was it related to the study of Array Skills? Or perhaps it involved soul feng shui? Quite mysterious.
And as one stepped down, another stepped forward on stage.
"Chen Minghuan, your abilities in equipnt are remarkable. Although your strengths lie not in researching high-grade Divine Weapons, you optimized the manufacturing structure of standard military weapons for the lower tiers, saving 1.2% of the Great Tang’s military expenditure."
"Henceforth, you shall take over the southwestern equipnt factory as the Third-Grade Architectural Equipnt Minister."
...
Chen Minghuan was so thrilled that he turned beet-red, almost fainting in the next second...
But in an instant.
A gentle force from the sky supported the man.
As if foreseeing his collapse, it steadied him beforehand.
And then spoke astonishingly, "I was aware of your soul’s congenital ailnt, with weakness and illness since your youth, fainting upon excitent... I have preemptively ordered alchemical dicine tailored for you... consu it, and your body shall recover to health, with longevity like a normal person."
"Thank you for your grand benevolence."
Chen Minghuan, as if seeing an omniscient deity, kneeled in gratitude.
Zhu Zhengwei watched in awe.
Perhaps Emperor Tang Li Shimin had already discovered all their secrets through nurous unknown restarts, and this audience was akin to knowing the future...
No, in fact...
This audience might not even be the first ti.
It’s possible he already restarted the eting several tis beforehand, repeating events that have happened before... I may have t him already, and it’s been erased from mory.
Zhu Zhengwei felt the chills.
The world rules of the Great Tang Chang’an City are practically a super BUG.
"I kind of understand; he doesn’t care about accumulating achievents... only about your ability to perform well at work."
Zhu Zhengwei thought inwardly:
"Even if you’re only a hundred years old, as long as you are capable, he will place you in high positions.... to Emperor Tang, this is just a tiline he observes.... awarding you high office, if you perform poorly or don’t et expectations... he can restart and erase the fortune bestowed upon you!"
"He has countless rights to trial and error!"
"Ultimately, he will choose the optimal developntal path to proceed."
"Acts of a great capitalist."
Zhu Zhengwei murmured to himself.
He looked at the officials and civil servants beside him.
Oddly, no objections were raised.
Granting such high office to a re hundred-year-old newbie freshly passed from the imperial exams, even if they outrank them, was t with indifference.
Clearly, even if they’re unaware of why, they certainly trust that Emperor Tang wouldn’t act arbitrarily.
As the sole observer and master of the multi-layered Chang’an City world, he surely witnessed things in other tilines unknown to them, thus affirming this newcor’s abilities.
