Chapter 159: Higher Education Entrance Examination (19)
As soon as White Eyeball finished speaking, the door of the examination room closed automatically, and four papers emerged from the air and landed one by one on the table in the center of the first row.
"Exam rules: one exam paper per person, 30 minutes to answer, no communicating, no cheating, no seeking help outside the exam hall, no disturbing the invigilator, no early or late submission of the exam paper."
"I'm too lazy to explain the penalties for violations. Now, each of you has one chance to ask a question. When I don't feel like answering anymore, the 30-minute countdown will begin."
...Are you really here just for the [exam]?
The four of them exchanged glances, and Tang Xinjue spoke first:
"How many points do we need on this test to get into a second-tier university?"
He chuckled with an ambiguous look in his eyes. "That depends on the examiner's standards. If the examiner of a particular question really likes you, then your promotion will be based on the level of your recommended admission ability."
This answer contained even more information than the question itself. Tang Xinjue's eyes flickered, and he had a rough idea in his mind.
Zhang You was the second one. She pondered and asked, "Will we be attacked while answering the questions?"
Eyeball: "If consuming brain cells counts as an attack."
Guo Guo: "Can we go back to the dormitory after we finish the test paper?"
Eyeball: "If you don't want to take the exam now, you can go back."
With only one chance left to ask a question, all eyes fell on Zheng Wanqing. Zheng Wanqing opened her mouth but couldn't think of anything to ask. So she just followed her intuition and asked, "Why are you in the shape of an eyeball?"
Since they entered the game, they have seen various kinds of eyeballs again and again: there are red and yellow eyeballs belonging to ghosts, there are red eyeballs that the counselors have turned into, and now they have encountered a big white eyeball. They are almost desensitized to eyeballs.
She even began to doubt: Could it be that all the teachers in the university town are just eyeballs?
White eyeball: "..."
It seemed speechless for two seconds, but ultimately chose not to ignore it and replied concisely:
"To prevent you from dying before you even take the exam."
After saying this, the eyeball stopped talking. Its gray pupils shifted to an unknown place, leaving only the white of its eye, as if it were asleep.
And on the blackboard behind it, a huge countdown appeared and began to decrease second second.
The answering begins!
The four of them quickly found their seats according to their admission tickets. As soon as Tang Xinjue sat down, he felt an invisible barrier separating him from the exam table, and everything outside the exam table became unclear.
What was particularly clear was the first line of large characters on the scroll:
Short answer questions:
1. In the "Seasons' Protection Guide," what is the name of the seventh-ranked reaper?
Tang Xin Jue: "..."
She continued to look down:
2. In the “Health Surprise Inspection”, what does Article 9 of the Dormitory Hygiene Regulations stipulate?
3. In "Road Trip Tips," where does Grandma Mayas's soup ingredients end up?
…
Although he couldn't see the expressions of the other three people in the dormitory through the barrier, it was not difficult for Tang Xinjue to imagine the silent and complicated atmosphere in the examination room at this moment.
One reason is that this exam is actually just an "exam" in the literal sense.
The second reason is that instead of taking this kind of test, it would be better to let them fight against ghosts.
——These questions are outrageous!
Tang Xin Jue took a quick look and found that this type of question was relatively good, at least the scope of the questions was within the dungeons she had experienced. However, the further she went, the more bizarre the questions became:
Multiple choice question: In "Dead Rising: The Dormitory Survival Experiment", which of the following items cannot be bitten open by zombies on the fifth day?
True or False: In the "College Physical Education Test," the number of meters in the 800-meter race is actually 811, but the physical education teacher was too old and made a mistake in counting. Please tell me if this statement is true or false.
Calculation question: ...
Tang Xinjue answered the previous questions he could answer with an expressionless face, and guessed the others. He scanned through the questions like a ruthless test-taking machine, and in the blink of an eye he came to the last question.
Free Writing: Based on your experiences and observations, please write about a teacher in a university town titled "My Teacher XXX." There's no word limit. The essay will be graded based on accuracy, emotional expression, and literary depth.
Her fingers stopped spinning the pen and she finally smiled.
Here comes the scoring question.
Faced with a mountain of questions they didn't know how to answer, 30 minutes felt both long and short. When the final second countdown hit zero , the invisible barrier surrounding the four people instantly vanished.
The candidates, looking dazed, looked up and saw that the papers on the table were floating in the air and flying forward, and finally all fell on the podium.
The white eyeballs seemed to have just opened from a nap, and the gray pupils emerged from the whites of the eyes again, glancing lightly at the paper:
"Huh, at this level, you still want to advance...huh?"
Its gaze fell on a piece of paper. Although it only had one eyeball, one could inexplicably feel a strange emotion.
After staring intently for a while, he turned his gaze to Tang Xinjue and said, "You're quite something."
Tang Xinjue nodded. "Thank you so much. But now that the exam is over, I guess you'll be leaving soon. I wonder if I can ask you one more question?"
Bai Yanqiu said reservedly, "Since you showed me something interesting, I'll allow you to ask one more question."
"Then may I ask, teacher, could you please remove the spiritual mark from my sea of consciousness?"
There was a sudden silence in the room.
As soon as these words came out, the other three people gasped and turned their heads. The torment of the exam questions was instantly overwhelmed by another layer of shock:
Is the mark in Tang Xin Jue's sea of consciousness related to this white-eyed invigilator?
They believed that Tang Xinjue wouldn't attack without a purpose; his sudden attack must have a reason. Zheng Wanqing almost raised her fist, but Tang Xinjue held her shoulder.
Tang Xin Jue only heard: "The spiritual mark was just put in. It's just that I happen to be majoring in spiritual abilities, so I noticed this."
"While I believe the teacher has no ill intentions, there are already four ghost marks in my sea of consciousness. If there is one more, the remaining spiritual realm will be difficult to support the upgrade of my supernatural powers. I hope you can understand."
After exposing the truth to him and explaining it slowly, Tang Xinjue quietly waited for the other party's answer.
After a long silence, Eyeball spoke again: "Isn't your ability the item-related one?"
Tang Xin Jue: "Oh, I awakened my spiritual power on my own. Adding a second major will make it easier to find a job."
White eyeball: "..."
After a moment, it snorted coldly: "Withdraw."
Tang Xinjue smiled and said, "Thank you, teacher."
The air became quiet again. None of the four spoke first. Bai Yanqiu also flipped through the papers without saying a word. After a few seconds, he suddenly spoke:
"I only put a mark on you because I saw you had so many marks on you and it seemed interesting. How can you confuse you with ghosts?"
Tang Xinjue nodded: "I understand."
Roll of eyes: “…” You don’t look like you understand at all.
Faced with Tang Xinjue's perfunctory attitude, his gray pupils seemed to want to turn up several times, but he couldn't do anything because he was indeed in the wrong. He could only stare at the paper, as if trying to find some problems in it.
After another stalemate for who knows how long, Eyeball threw the paper into the air, watched the paper disappear into the air, and said calmly: "I'll help you remove a ghost mark. Choose one."
Tang Xin Jue seemed to have been preparing for this moment for a long time . He said without hesitation, "There is a mark that has transformed into a silver ring. Please erase it. Thank you."
White Eyeball: ...Are you waiting for me here?
The author has something to say:
Tang Xin Jue: Pick up a penny a day
