Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 212 Preaching
"What kind of activity is this?"

Ding Xiaoyu had nothing to do today, so he simply went with Zhang Jingtian.

He just felt that this activity sounded so abstract.

"Do you know those tutoring institutions? They help ordinary people train to become card makers. There are also card makers who want to advance but can't find a way, so they will sign up."

Ding Xiaoyu nodded: "I know this for sure. Many people in our class failed the college entrance examination and went to tutoring classes to study, and then became card makers.

I'm just confused that they even need you to advertise."

Zhang Jingtian smiled and said, "Who cares? They pay quite a bit. These tutoring institutions are really rich! Maybe they think that a genius like me giving a speech will motivate those students to learn from me?"

Hearing Zhang Jingtian's words, Ding Xiaoyu immediately shook her head, obviously disagreeing with his statement:
"How is that possible! Think about it, you're already attending tutoring classes, so you're probably just an ordinary person with average talent. And then you see a genius who's already Platinum Four Star, almost Emerald, at such a young age. Would you find his speech inspiring? It would only make you more desperate, right?"

Zhang Jingtian exclaimed, then thought about it carefully and felt that what Ding Xiaoyu said did make sense.

"You're right," Zhang Jingtian nodded. "But even if they don't like me, they won't protest on the spot! Anyway, I'll just go through the process, read the manuscript they provide, take the money and leave."

"Yeah," Ding Xiaoyu nodded and said, "I was just complaining about their selection, but Brother Tian, ​​you're quite famous now!"

"No way," Zhang Jingtian chuckled, "The influence of the rankings is still huge."

As Zhang Jingtian's strength continues to improve, his ranking on the college list is also rising.

As the youngest person on the list, he naturally attracts special attention.

Coupled with Zhou Shaoge's previous outstanding performance in the college league, his popularity is already far ahead of his peers.

It’s a pity that he has an ordinary background. If he was from a big family, he would have already gone to District 1 to take on various endorsements and become a celebrity.

However, the tutoring institution that Zhang Jingtian went to give a speech this time is also the largest one in Shanghai. Many people's dreams of becoming card makers started from this institution.

When Zhang Jingtian arrived at the door of the institution, he saw several people waiting for him there.

As soon as he appeared, all the people came towards him.

Zhang Jingtian said to Ding Xiaoyu embarrassedly: "Oh, I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic. I thought I was a big star."

"Hello, Teacher Zhang!"

The one walking in front was the boss of this institution, a middle-aged man in his forties, but he called Zhang Jingtian "Teacher" enthusiastically and flatteringly, which made Zhang Jingtian almost float up.

Although the boss's own strength is only silver, he is richer than many people. The two bodyguards who accompany him are stronger than Zhang Jingtian.

Seeing such a person calling him teacher, Zhang Jingtian couldn't help but smile.

"No, no, just call me by my name. I'm not much of a teacher."

However, everyone still had an expression of admiration for Zhang Jingtian, which made Ding Xiaoyu on the side a little jealous. He couldn't help but fantasize that one day he would be able to receive the same treatment as Zhang Jingtian.

Sitting next to Zhang Jingtian, Ding Xiaoyu whispered, "Your job is so good! Not only do you get paid, but you're also admired by others. I'm so envious."

"When you reach my level, you can do it too."

Walking into the tutoring institution, it was much more grand than Zhang Jingtian had expected.

At this time, the boss of the organization stood aside and described the development history of the organization to Zhang Jingtian in vivid detail.

"Actually, some recent news has caused quite a bit of panic," the boss said slowly, stroking his chin. "But for our organization, it's a good thing." "Many people want to become card makers, no matter the cost. Otherwise, they worry they'll become a speck of dust crushed by the wheels of history."

"It's not that exaggerated." Zhang Jingtian whispered.

"Who knows?" The boss sighed, holding his cup. "Although my rank is low, I have a wide network of contacts. Anyway, from hearsay, the current situation is not optimistic. Oh, I'm worried that one day I will be gone."

Zhang Jingtian chatted with his boss for a while and took the speech manuscript from him.

Although this speech exaggerates anxiety, fortunately it is not very serious and is still within Zhang Jingtian's acceptable level.

He took the manuscript and read it silently several times before walking into the lobby on the first floor.

Ding Xiaoyu, on the other hand, was strolling around the building.

This tutoring institution is very large, with a total of eight floors, and each floor can accommodate thousands of people.

Along the way, Ding Xiaoyu met many students from other institutions, but not all of them went to watch Zhou Shaoge's performance.

Ding Xiaoyu felt complicated as she watched them intently studying the quick-learning tutorial that they had gotten from somewhere.

Because he felt that these things were of little use and most of them were scams.

But these people are still willing to spend money to learn, which is essentially due to fear.

They didn't know when the Scourge would actually launch an attack in full force.

When Ding Xiaoyu reached the top floor, he saw several people in hoods quickly approaching the students who did not attend the speech. They whispered something in their ears and finally handed a flyer to them.

He suddenly remembered that on his way here, many students were holding the same flyers in their hands.

At that time, Ding Xiaoyu thought it was the tutoring institution’s own advertisement.

Ding Xiaoyu suddenly became sensitive and instinctively realized that something was wrong with this thing.

He thought about it and decided to imitate the students. He picked up a book at random, sat in the corner, and waited for something to happen.

After a while, a hooded man really approached Ding Xiaoyu and put something in front of him.

It's that light leaflet.

Ding Xiaoyu raised his head, looked at the man, and asked doubtfully:

"what is this?"

The other person's face was hidden in the hood, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.

Then he said to Ding Xiaoyu in a pretentiously profound voice:
"It's useless for you to study here. You can't become a card maker at all.

Now our great prophet has received the revelation that in three months the world will be destroyed.

Only by joining our Omniscient and Omnipotent Church can you be reborn."

After saying this, the hooded man hurried away.
