Time passed quickly, and a week passed quietly in the blink of an eye.
At nine o'clock this morning, ZTech's official website closed the registration channel and decided to announce the list of applicants at noon.
Everyone in the world has been waiting for this moment.
The internet has completely exploded, and everyone is looking forward to Zeke's result, full of prayers, whether it is Jesus, Mary, Buddha, or Allah, as long as they can bless them, they all prayed!
"Damn, I've never been so nervous before, I feel as nervous as the first time XX!"
"I must pass! As long as I pass, I will be a citizen of the strongest country in the world!"
"God bless! God bless! I am a Ph.D. graduate from MIT. If I fail, I will be embarrassed!"
...
Everyone is nervous.
This is a brutal contest. For a whole week, nearly 400 million people signed up.
In the end, only 20,000 people will be able to succeed!
This shows that out of every 200 people, only one lucky person can become a citizen of Zanarkand Kingdom.
With such a terrible screening rate, can people not be nervous?
...
"Jarvis, you can announce the interview list if you've finished the screening."
Zeke was lying under the
umbrella on an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean, wearing a pair of swimming trunks, enjoying the beach.
Gael is helping massage him, not to mention how comfortable it is!
"Yes, sir."
Jarvis agreed and got to work.
Jarvis's efficiency is naturally not said. In just ten minutes or so, 390 million of the 400 million applicants were eliminated, leaving only 10 million people!
"Sir, they have been notified to prepare for a video interview at 11 o'clock."
Jarvis said.
"Please ask the questions I have prepared for you, and capture every detail of those people. It doesn't matter if they hide it, but if they lie on purpose, you can directly deny them!"
Tens of thousands of people are interviewed simultaneously, which sounds incredible, but for Jarvis, it's just a piece of cake.
But the interview is just a trivial test. What they really want to know is the temperament of the interviewee.
Although human nature is very complicated and cannot be explained clearly, Zeke must ensure that the quality of Zanarkand Kingdom's citizens is higher than the world average to the greatest extent.
"Sir, here are two files you may want to see yourself."
Hearing Jarvis' words, Zeke was a little surprised and, at the same time, puzzled. What kind of files are these two? Even Jarvis can't review them well.
"OK, show me what's so mysterious about them."
Zeke did not ask but said curiously.
"OK."
After Jarvis responded, a floating window appeared in front of Zeke, and a file was slowly turned over in Zeke's eyes.
"Princess of the Royal Family of Country U, Elena."
"I knew it was her!"
Zeke was not surprised at all about Elena's departure.
This little girl has been following her before, but now that he has built his own kingdom, it is normal for her to join.
But what makes Zeke curious is, who is the second person?
There are only a few people close to him, and Jarvis recognizes even fewer.
Being able to be screened out by Jarvis must be an acquaintance he knows.
Jarvis didn't answer him either, Elena's file was turned over, and the following file appeared.
"Phoenix Kingdom, Lucy Garcia."
Lucy Garcia?
When Zeke saw the photos on the file, the female police officer with a beautiful face and an excellent figure immediately appeared in his mind.
As Zeke invented more new technologies and his status became higher and higher, Lucy came to find him much less often, and there was almost no contact afterward... but he can imagine why.
The person she likes becomes more and more dazzling and even becomes the elder of a kingdom and even the savior and hero of the whole world. In contrast, Lucy is only a small policewoman. With such a disparate identity, the gap in her heart is naturally not small.
However, Lucy still chose to sign up. Obviously, she was still holding on to that glimmer of fantasy and hope and was unwilling to give up.
Jarvis asked with a smile: "Sir, are these two files going to be interviewed or just passed?"
Hearing Jarvis' words, Zeke thought about it and said, "They are acquaintances. Since they want to come, let them come in!"
...
At ten o'clock, the official website of ZTech announced the list of 10 million candidates who were qualified for interviews.
In order to facilitate the inquiry, ZTech's official website has specially built a search system. You can check your admission status if you enter your name and ZTech's ID card information.
"Great!! Passed! I'm qualified for the interview!!"
"Haha! I knew it! How could my ability not be able to enter the Zanarkand Kingdom? I will soon become the most powerful person in the world!"
"Dad! Mom! Did you see it? Direct admission notice! I am now a member of the Zanarkand Kingdom! You are all too!! Our whole family can go to Zanarkand!!!"
"What are you doing? I'm a doctor! I don't even have an interview opportunity? Are you kidding?!"
"It must be a mistake! How is it possible? I am so good. I have always been the first since I was a child. I am a scholar! So how could I not even have an interview opportunity?!"
"..."
As soon as the list was announced, some people were happy, and some were disappointed.
Those who thought they were excellent but didn't get the opportunity to interview kept scolding Zeke for being blind.
Those who successfully got the interview opportunity were so excited that they jumped up and down and couldn't wait to post screenshots to their circle of friends or show off online.
Some unique talents were screened out and directly admitted, and they were so excited that they screamed in the sky, and they almost smashed the computer to add to the fun!
In contrast, more people are in the mood to join in the fun.
After all, how can there be 400 million talents in the world?
Most of them are just there to try their luck. It is good if they pass, but it is also harmless if denied.
But once they encounter those who have posted screenshots for their circle of friends on major social media websites, apps, and forums, they feel a sense of envy in their hearts.
Being able to pass the initial test means standing out from the 400 million people and being recognized by ZTech for their ability.
This in itself is a supreme honor!
Therefore, every person who posts a screenshot will inevitably attract a lot of likes and comments in their circle of friends. Moreover, all relatives they do not know called to congratulate and make an appointment for dinner, and even some leaders will deliberately come to curry favor.
The power of Zanarkand Kingdom has become a worldwide benchmark in subtle ways!
And this is only through the first round of preliminary tests.
Once they pass the interview later and are genuinely recognized as a citizen of Zanarkand Kingdom, you can imagine how exaggerated the worship they receive will be!
