In the evening of that day, Lin Qi and Lin Xiaodong got into Ye Shiyuan's car together.

Due to the presence of guests, his uncle and aunt could not be too harsh on Lin Xiaodong. The aunt pretended to dig out a backpack that Lynch carried when he went to elementary school for an outing from the box, and stuffed it symbolically. I bought some clothes and snacks and fruit.

The woman pretended to wipe away her tears, and told him to take good care of herself and her younger brother when he got there.

She said that it doesn't matter whether she can be selected or not, the key is to take good care of her body, she looked reluctant to send her off, but she kept paying attention to Ye Shiyuan's position at the door from the corner of her eye.

"Auntie, don't worry about that," Lin Xiaodong smiled, ignoring Lynch's sudden widening eyes, and rubbed his head into a ball of straw, "I will definitely 'take care' of Lynch well."

"You—" Lynch was about to jump, but he noticed the look in his father's eyes and held back.

Seeing the vicious snake-like eyes of this kid, Lin Xiaodong yawned, turned around and opened the car door, climbed into the back seat and fell asleep.

Ye Shiyuan watched this scene and shook his head helplessly.

This kid really has a big heart.

Of course, Lynch also wanted to sit in the back seat. The back seat is so spacious, and I don't know how long it will take on the road.However, before he came out, his parents told him to have a good relationship with Ye Shiyuan, who was Lin Pei's No. [-] person—for some reason, he was sent out to be their driver.But the opportunity is rare, must not let it go.

Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and sit in the co-pilot, looking for something to say along the way, trying to please the other party like an adult.

But no matter how scheming Lynch is, he is still a 14-year-old child after all, what can he have in common with Ye Shiyuan, an adult in his thirties?

The man saw through Lynch's thoughts at a glance, and he didn't expose it. He just chatted casually, and from time to time observed Lin Xiaodong who was sleeping in the back seat in the dark from the rearview mirror.

He wanted to chat with this child, but unfortunately, it seemed that the other party didn't seem to have the same idea.

Although the content of this selection was decided by Lin Pei, this suggestion was actually put forward by Ye Shiyuan.Since that attack, he has seen the changes in the head of the family. As a subordinate, it is impossible to say that he is not in a hurry, but on the other hand, his status as a subordinate also predestined him not to be able to enter Lin Pei's private domain. .

At first, he wanted to find a caring hostess for Lin Pei, but none of the women he found could persist for a month.In desperation, he had no choice but to settle for the second best, hoping to impress the man with family affection - out of the sixteen children in this side branch, there must be one who can be admired by him, right?

After driving the car for three hours, Lynch couldn't hold on any longer, and fell asleep beside the car window.

Ye Shiyuan was a little tired, so he parked the car next to the gas station, and took out a cigarette from his pocket to refresh himself.

But a voice came from behind: "What kind of person is Lin Pei?"

The man froze for a moment.

He turned around, looked at Lin Xiaodong who was leaning against the car door, and laughed with a cigarette in his mouth.

"I have sent sixteen children, and I have answered the same question sixteen times." He said, "But for you, you only need to know one thing: in the castle, you must be careful in your words and deeds, and don't say anything. Don’t say what you shouldn’t, do what you shouldn’t say.”

Lin Xiaodong stretched his waist, and said perfunctorily, "Got it. How long do we have to walk to get there?"

"Hurry up," Ye Shiyuan looked at the highway under the night in the distance, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke rings, "Wait until you bypass the village in front, and you'll be there."

The Lin family's castle was built next to a small lake, which was still dug by hand—yes, the Lin family is so rich and powerful.It is said that the original designer was a missionary who came to preach during the Republic of China, so the style and system are completely Westernized.

However, after listening to Ye Shiyuan's introduction, what appeared in Lin Xiaodong's mind was the picture of Hogwarts.

"I heard that Lin Pei also hired dozens of teachers in charge of different subjects for us," he touched his chin, thinking, "will he teach us how to make compound soup with slugs?"

System: "...Wake up, you are in modern society."

But Lin Xiaodong would rather believe that he is a Muggle and refuse to accept that magic does not exist in this world, so he failed to communicate with each other. It was not until they arrived at the destination and saw the real Lin's castle that Lin Xiaodong's illusions were completely shattered.

It's nothing like Hogwarts here.

In addition to the vast lawns, forests and lakes, the whole castle looks more like a huge country house with a total of five floors. The white walls and blue triangular spires stand out under the bright castle lights. Create a fantasy of a fairy tale world.

Lin Xiaodong even heard a little girl yelling in surprise not far away in the night.

As if to welcome their arrival, the entire castle was lit up. There were no plants planted in the garden, but looking around, the lawn was dotted with small light bulbs like a galaxy, spreading out a hazy sea of ​​light. The valley around the castle brought a cool evening breeze, and the trees shook and rustled.

Even Lynch, who had been pretending to be calm and wanted to make a good impression on others, was stunned, especially when he entered the hall and saw the walls full of precious oil paintings, antiques left over from the last century, furs, books, wolf heads, etc. And the precious medieval weapons and armor, he was so excited that his cheeks flushed, and he kept looking left and right after Ye Shiyuan.

In addition, the glass cabinets on both sides are also full of exquisite classical dolls, cool Lego battleships, miniature castle toys that are almost exactly the same as the real ones, huge plush dolls, a full set of armor and anime figures... Almost all the things that children like in this world are collected.

Even Lin Xiaodong, an adult, looked a little ready to move, let alone those children whose average age was only thirteen or fourteen.

Lin Xiaodong glanced at it. Apart from him and Lynch, there were fourteen other children in the hall. It seemed that all of them had arrived.

"Be quiet, children."

Ye Shiyuan walked up to them and clapped his hands.

The chattering noise in the hall gradually stopped, and sixteen children from different cities across the country left their parents and families, stood in this strange land, looked at the man nervously, and waited for their next arrangement.

"I believe you have all seen it just now," Ye Shiyuan asked with a smile, "Do you want these things behind me?"

"think--"

The children shouted in unison, and Lin Xiaodong, who stood among them and was a full head taller than most of them, smiled wryly and rubbed his ears, feeling like he had entered a kindergarten by mistake for a moment.

But after reading the information, he didn't dare to treat these children as harmless little radish heads.

The Lin family advocates elite education, and Lin Pei himself has brought the law of the jungle and the concept of survival of the fittest to the extreme.

After reading the entire document, I would not believe that Lin Xiaodong was killed. Lin Pei, as the patriarch of the Lin family with his hands and eyes open to the sky, the owner of this castle densely covered with all kinds of surveillance, would not know at all about the various gangsters involved in the selection of the heir. Cliques, framed design.

This fairytale-like castle is not a Disney prince or princess to be cultivated.

It's the real wolf king who can lead the family to glory.

Sure enough, the next moment, Ye Shiyuan confessed to them the purpose of preparing these toys.

He glanced over the sixteen candidates with a calm and scrutinizing gaze, and said lightly: "Since you want it, please exchange it for something. There is no need for money here, and the only thing that can be exchanged is This seal."

The man held up a small purple seal in his hand, and a piece of white paper with a big word "award" printed on it.

"We will send each of you a reward book, which is specially used to collect various stamps. In each class, the teacher will select three children who he thinks are the best performers, and stamp a stamp on their reward books , every Friday afternoon every week, we will vote in the auditorium to select three people who you think should be rewarded the most, and each will be rewarded with three stamps—and as long as you collect all ten stamps, you can open the door behind me. Take out any thing from these cabinets.”

Hearing these words, the children's expressions were a little excited.

Even according to the minimum standard of four classes a day, the teachers will distribute at least twelve stamps every day, not to mention the extra rewards every week.Do the math, as long as you behave positively, it seems that you can get your favorite toy in just a week or two?

But Lin Xiaodong and a few of the more active children didn't show any strange expressions on their faces, because they knew that the test Ye Shiyuan gave them would never be so simple.

"Mr. Ye, you just said various kinds of seals, that means there are other kinds of seals, right?" A boy standing in the front with a little cut raised his hand and asked.

"That's right." Ye Shiyuan nodded approvingly, "In addition to rewards, we also have this kind of punishment seal," he said, holding up another black seal with the word "punishment" printed in a circle , "Those who violate the rules of the castle will be penalized. Once they reach three, they will be punished by Xiaohei/house confinement; if they reach five, they will be kicked out of here and their parents will be informed."

The children took a breath in unison.

But Lin Xiaodong's eyes lit up - this is a great thing for him!

System: "Your mission, don't care?"

"Anyway, there are five of them. I guess I'll finish the task long ago when I collect them all." Lin Xiaodong said indifferently.

Apparently, the other kids thought the same thing.

So, while dreading punishment, none of them felt they would be the ones to be kicked out of the castle.

Ye Shiyuan waved his hand, and several people in black suits came over and distributed a reward book to each of them.Lin Xiaodong opened it and found that fifty seals had already been printed inside.

"If you want toys, you can come and exchange them with me now." Ye Shiyuan smiled, "But once again a friendly reminder: we will provide you with all kinds of daily necessities in the castle for free, but other than that, all All things must be exchanged with seals. Of course, you can also negotiate on your own, the exchange of seals with others is allowed in the castle, but the transfer must be under the supervision of the teacher or me."

Hearing this, Lynch immediately turned his head to look at Lin Xiaodong beside him, his eyes were full of greed.

He heard Ye Shiyuan's implication—it is allowed to exchange stamps with others, but this "exchange with others" does not necessarily mean a fair exchange.

At this time, there were already three children who couldn't help being tempted, thinking that there were fifty of them anyway, and it didn't matter to waste ten, so they stepped forward and asked Ye Shiyuan if they could exchange them for toys.And Ye Shiyuan, as he said, kept his promise very much, and asked the people in black to open the cabinet on the spot.

Looking at the dolls, armor and game consoles in their hands, some people showed envy, while others were unmoved, but Lynch sneered and said in a low voice: "A bunch of idiots."

It would not be too late to exchange these things after figuring out the rules of the castle.

The fifty seals were the "startup funds" Ye Shiyuan gave them - once they were used up, it would be a thousand times more difficult to get them back in the future.

There are also a few smart children who obviously thought of this, and the younger sister even smiled and explained to a little girl next to him: "I read it in a book, it's called 'delayed gratification', the source In an experiment in the West about distributing sweets..."

Lin Xiaodong sighed: Sure enough, all the children of the Lin family, even if they are just offshoots, are all monsters.

Just when Ye Shiyuan thought that no one wanted to exchange it, and was about to ask the man in black to lock the cabinet again, the tallest boy in the crowd suddenly raised his hand.

He said, "Mr. Ye, I want to exchange it too."
