The taxi driver was a talkative middle-aged man.
"Which school are you from, kid? Going straight to Test Site 1... that's incredible!"
"Dongjiang First Middle School."
A hint of surprise flashed across the driver's face. "A Municipal Martial Arts High School? I've driven my share of examinees over the years."
"This is the first time I've ever seen a student from a municipal school get into Test Site 1."
"But I guess I have you to thank for this! It's the only reason I get to drive on Chenghua Avenue! None of my buddies have the clearance for this road today, hahaha!"
Lin Ye made small talk with the chatty driver for the rest of the ride.
Soon, a cordoned-off road, manned by a combination of automated security bots and human police officers, came into view in the distance.
Farther in the distance, a magnificent complex of buildings came into Lin Ye's view.
The Dongjiang City Comprehensive Testing Center.
