Chapter 43: Spy Equipment

  June 5th morning.

  Chen Yi brushed his teeth and washed his face, then quietly began to make preparations in the room. At this critical moment when the fate of most people was about to be decided, for students and parents who happened to be on time, the last-minute review had a sacred flavor, like praying, begging or thought reporting.

  However, Chen Yi's preparation was entirely different.

  All I saw was him sitting upright in his chair, his right hand grasping a pen, his eyes fixed intently on the test paper in front of him, as if he had fully immersed himself in the frontline of exam-oriented education, while his left hand seemed to be casually brushing against his knee.

  The inner lining of a 1st-level Intelligence Scroll was torn apart.

  Chen Yi smiled with satisfaction.

  In the actual exam, he would naturally exchange the first-level intelligence scroll for third and fourth level ones, plus the listening scroll. The specific usage depends on the situation at that time.

  According to recent tests, even if he poured the energy recovery potion into a water cup and brought it into the examination room, using two 3rd-level scrolls throughout the entire exam was his limit. If he used three times, he estimated that he would fall asleep until the afternoon exam time. And if he needed to use a 4th-level scroll, after the medicine wore off, even if he frantically drank the potion, he would still have to sleep for a long time, and it's not certain that he could recover overnight.

  In this way, the 4-level scroll can only be used in the math or comprehensive test conducted in the afternoon, and if not necessary, it is best to solve the main battle within 60 minutes for the Chinese and English tests in the morning.

  "Gudong" drank a bottle of restorative potion, Chen Yi wiped his mouth and continued to practice, looking very serious. Unfortunately, the mages of Saint Qiao Kingdom couldn't see this scene, otherwise the drool would be enough to fill that bottle again.

  The phone suddenly rang, it was Luo Xiaoshan's.

  Chen Yi licked off the medicinal liquid on his lips and picked up the phone with a smile: "Fatty, there are only two days left before the exam, how's your preparation going?"

  "The first sentence is just that, really no creativity." Fatso burst out laughing and said: "I have something good here, do you have time to come and take a look?"

  "What is it?"

  "It's inconvenient to say on the phone." The fat man said mysteriously: "Of course it's helpful, good stuff."

  Chen Yi could guess a few tenths, smiled and said: "No need, I can handle it myself."

  "Really no need? What I have here is extraordinary, can't I just call you with ordinary goods? Come and take a look."

  Luo Xiaoshan was so concerned, Chen Yi thought for a moment and said: "Then I'll go over in a while."

  "Meet at the tea house on the corner." He quickly hung up the phone.

  Chen Yi couldn't help but laugh and pushed open the door, only to see his mother in the kitchen.

  This is not an easy thing to do, even when things are going smoothly at home, the workload of the foundation will not decrease. Moreover, there was a chef at that time, and my mother only showed her culinary skills when it mattered most. As for now, she's busier than ever, without a single moment to spare.

  Needless to say, this is Ms. Fang Man-yi, who specially made a breakfast for her son two days before the college entrance examination. She got up early and waited for Chen Yi to get up - although she showed concern a bit late, but she still sat at the table like any mother, carefully asking: "Are you confident? How's your preparation?"

  It's just as Luo Xiaoshan said, everyone asks the same questions.

  Chen Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  ……

  The tea house on the street corner is a leisure center suitable for young people. The partitioned private rooms guarantee privacy while allowing everyone to have fun, like a KTV without a song selection machine.

  Luo Xiaoshan was extremely timid and shrank to one side of the private room, holding a small box in his hands, like a child hiding an ice cream.

  "What's going on?" Chen Yi closed the door and turned on all the lights with a sweep of his hand.

  "Don't make it so bright, be careful of being secretly photographed." The fat man looked left and right.

  "Take a sneak shot of us two?" Chen Yi smiled wryly and shivered again.

  Luo Xiaoshan let out a "hmmph" and put the box on the table, saying: "I'm afraid of being known. Seriously speaking, do you remember me saying that my old man knew some spies?"

  "I thought you were joking, they shouldn't have a license to kill." Chen Yi said with a laugh.

  "Even if it's just a warehouse manager, that's still espionage. And look now, isn't it evident?" Luo Xiaoshan took out another small box from the box on the table and handed it to Chen Yidao: "Take a look."

  "You're kidding." Chen Yi made a joke with an evil tone and opened it up.

  In a small box, tightly packed were two rice-grain-sized objects, light and airy, as if they could be blown away with one breath.

  "The latest technology, absolutely undetectable earplugs. Just throw them into your ears and they'll automatically stick to the eardrum area. Taking them out is simple too, just press and suck. " Luo Xiaoshan took out another MP3-sized square box and said: "This is the transmitter. Even when shielding the signal, it's still clear and effective, and difficult to track. You definitely can't buy this on the market. We'll arrange for someone to be responsible for sending the answers later."

  Chen Yi used a toothpick on the desktop to fiddle with the earplug, and indeed, there were fine lines on the back, like engravings on rice grains, a delicate smear.

  "This is the most powerful one." Luo Xiaoshan continued to show off: "I call it 'Bone Microphone', the latest technology from America or Europe. You don't need to speak, just make a slight mouth shape when speaking, and it will transmit your voice through the vibration of your bones. Many spies haven't even used this good stuff, who among the education bureau people can detect it..."

  "Are they all from, mysterious friend?"

  Luo Xiaoshan nodded slightly and said in a rare soft voice, "Is this enough for you to make a run? When the time comes, if you're well-prepared inside, you'll naturally get what you want, as much as you want."

  He said that he would divide all things into two parts, one of which was returned to Chen Yidao: "There are only two sets in total. The Liang Yu family has a way out, and that's the two of us."

  Chen Yi looked at the big pile of things in front of him, and he was also full of emotion. No wonder since ancient times, the sons of official families have always been able to become top talents that are one in a million. Looking at this kind of cheating investment, not only is it difficult for ordinary people to reach, but also the defensive measures cannot keep up with it.

  There is no perfect lock in the world. The best lock is one that can be made at the lowest production cost, but with the highest theft cost, yet as long as someone is willing to pay, there will always be a countermeasure that cannot be afforded.

  The latest espionage tactics, except for a few corresponding agencies, which examination room can detect. In other words, as long as a certain family is willing to invest so many resources, it should naturally receive special treatment, Zhang Yanshang calls it "wealth can communicate with gods", referring to this line.

  However, Chen Yi no longer needed it, so he shook his head resolutely and said, "Uncle rarely speaks, I don't need to use it."

  "Isn't it easier than the college entrance exam?" Luo Xiaoshan glared, lowering his voice: "I know your mock test scores are good, but the proctoring difficulty of the formal exam, the shielding standards and the mock exams can't be compared. You shouldn't feel embarrassed either, this year alone I know of over a hundred people, no one is laughing at anyone."

  Chen Yi furrowed his brow and asked, "You know of over a hundred people? Doesn't that mean several hundred to thousands have used it?"

  He pointed at the rice grain earphones on the desktop.

  "It's not necessarily that awesome, but it's also high-end goods." Luo Xiaoshan curled his lips and said, "How can we all get past the first line, otherwise it would be a waste of studying."

  "You didn't learn it in the first place." Chen Yi smiled but still declined, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Thanks."

  He patted Luo Xiaoshan's shoulder heavily and said, "Be careful when using it, sometimes too many people is not a good thing."

  The latter stared at him with small eyes for half a day and finally sighed: "You really are stubborn. Don't worry about me, 007 has got my back."

  Chen Yixin's expression changed slightly as he smiled strangely and asked, "This 007, will it sell to multiple parties? For example, the hundreds of households you mentioned?"

  Luo Xiaoshan was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it and said indifferently: "What's the big deal, anyway? It's all just single-line contact. Even if we get caught, it can't be our kind of advanced equipment. You're not thinking that..."

  "I can handle it myself." Chen Yi then went on to talk about other things.

  The two of them chatted and laughed for a while before going their separate ways. Luo Xiaoshan, who was still in high spirits, didn't notice that Chen Yi's expression remained serious the whole time.

  The more tense he is, the more meticulous his thoughts become.

  Chen Yi's first thought was of the circle of wealthy families' children, where everything was shared.

  Luo Xiaoshan, Liang Yu and himself were iron-clad good brothers. Sharing fortune and hardship was the least they could do. At their age, even if there would be family conflicts in the future, as long as it wasn't a matter of life and death, their friendship would only deepen, not diminish.

  In a small circle like this, there are many in Jiangning. Children pass it on to ten people, and ten people pass it on to a hundred, and soon it becomes a secret that everyone knows, and as parents of children, how can they be kept in the dark?

  In other words, there were a lot of rumors about students cheating before the exam, and some people already knew about it.

  "The mayor of Jiangning is He Fuhan, I don't know if he knows about it." Chen Yi suddenly thought of the He family in Xijing, they were the biggest beneficiaries after his grandfather stepped down, and He Fuhan was the He family's bridgehead in the south.
