Chapter 590 What Makes You Think You Can Pass the Exam?
When the over 5,000 people left the examination field, they all looked utterly wretched.
At this moment, Le Renkuang was chasing Luo Xiaobai, asking what the answer to the first question was. Han Fei picked up his ears to listen.
Luo Xiaobai said, “I remember that when I was still a fisher, the first class I had was about Spirit Swallowing Fish. The Spirit Swallowing Fish live between 10 meters to 30 meters under the sea surface. And the deeper they live underwater, the smaller their bodies are. Those living the highest are the largest. But even the largest Spirit Swallowing Fish is only half a meter long. But this is not the key.
The 3 points of spiritual energy a junior Dangling Fisher uses are equivalent to the 80 to 100 points of spiritual energy a junior fisher has used. And the force used for fishing is about 200 catties, which means that the fish is more than half a meter in length, and a lot longer, indicating that this is a large mutant Spirit Swallowing Fish whose body length can reach one meter…
Each ring of scales on an average Spirit Swallowing Fish contains about 25 to 30 scales. So, excluding the head and tail… The fish body is about a foot and a half, so the number of scales is between 1250 and 1500. Taking the median, I wrote 1375!”
Everyone: “???”
Han Fei’s eyes widened. “Are you a devil? How can you even figure this out?”
Xia Xiaochan cried out in surprise, “Are there so many? I wrote 500.”
Han Fei glanced at her sideways. “How did you get that number?”
Xia Xiaochan said nonchalantly, “I just wrote the number of scales on your spiritual beast, Little White.”
Han Fei was speechless. “So, you didn’t use your brain at all, did you?”
Xia Xiaochan said carelessly, “Whatever. Anyway, even if I didn’t write the right answer, I can still go to the Unknown place.” “Huh?”
Le Renkuang immediately agreed, “Yes, that’s what I thought just now. So when I found that I couldn’t understand the questions, I just went to sleep.”
Luo Xiaobai shook her head and said seriously, “It shouldn’t be that simple. This exam is obviously a selection method. Although the questions are strange, they seem to test our thinking ability.”
Zhang Xuanyu was stunned. “Why do you think the questions were meant to test our thinking ability? They were obviously meant to make things difficult for us.”
Luo Xiaobai analyzed, “Actually, the first 10 questions were the most difficult. When doing the questions, I saw many people break down and give up answering them. But the Hidden Fishers sitting above were watching us. Obviously, these questions were meant to test our will.”
Everyone: “???”
Luo Xiaobai continued, “Of the total 108 questions, there were 50 multiple-choice questions. These questions were meant to test a person’s ability to judge and analyze in different environments and occasions. This should be the focus of this exam.”
Zhang Xuanyu immediately said, “I answered these questions, all of them. They must be able to find out about my noble character from my answers.”
Luo Xiaobai rolled her eyes at Zhang Xuanyu. “No, they don’t care about whether we have a noble character or not. The purpose of the exam is to select proper people to go to the Unknown Place that is much more dangerous than the level-three fishery.”
Han Fei said immediately, “So, we just needed to follow our true intentions, right?”
Luo Xiaobai nodded. “Yes.”
Han Fei was overjoyed. “Haha! That’s what I did.”
Xia Xiaochan’s eyes lit up. “Me too.”
Zhang Xuanyu frowned. “What else?”
Luo Xiaobai continued to analyze, “The other 45 questions were short answer questions. For example, your judgment in a crisis, the way to cope with a battle, the management and distribution of personnel, the use of terrain, the choice of weapons, the using standards of money, and your personality… These 45 questions involved many aspects and were meant to choose proper captains.”
Han Fei blinked. Personnel management? Can I be a good leader? For me, there is no management. The team members just need to obey my orders!
Xia Xiaochan looked envious. “Xiaobai, you are really amazing.”
Zhang Xuanyu nodded hard. “If only you could’ve told us the answers via voice transmission.”
Le Renkuang scoffed. “Oh! These questions are really a pain in the neck.”
However, Xia Xiaochan asked, “But Xiaobai, what did the third last question mean? Why the sneeze?”
And she looked at Han Fei and said, “Someone said that if you sneezed, there must be someone missing you, right?”
Luo Xiaobai asked, “Who said that?”
“Ahem!”
Han Fei interrupted immediately, “Well, let’s go… The exam has been over. What’s the point of checking answers here?” Luo Xiaobai said, “This question is actually simple. When you sneeze, there are only two situations, but the causes of these two situations are completely different.”
Han Fei couldn’t help but pick up his ears. “What situations?”
“First of all, if you sneeze three times in a row, it means that someone in the water wants to kill you.”
“Huh?”
Han Fei asked, “Why?” Luo Xiaobai, like a straight-A student, explained, “Because Dangling Fishers won’t sneeze. If you sneeze, you must have been poisoned. And once you sneeze in the water, you’ll definitely choke from a lot of water or lose your breath. If you sneeze three times in a row, it is enough to exhaust the air in your body. Then your weaknesses will be exposed and it’s easy to give people a chance to kill you with one blow… So, if you sneeze three times in a row, it means that someone wants to kill you and you must be in the water.”
Everyone: “…”
Han Fei couldn’t help but look up at the sky. “What the hell! So is this the way straight-A students look at the world?”
At this time, Old Bai ran away again, and he probably went to check the test papers.
SC
Wenren Yu coughed, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back. She just said, “Go! Go back! The result will be out tomorrow.”
Xia Xiaochan asked, “Teacher Wenren, why don’t you just tell us the results? You seem to really want to tell us.”
Wenren Yu smiled contemptuously. “There is nothing to say. You guys… Are either too smart or too stupid. Can’t you meet in the middle?”
Han Fei murmured, “Either be good or be bad. The most worthless are those who are neither good enough nor bad enough.”.
Wenren Yu: “…”
Le Renkuang seemed to have forgotten about the exam. “Let’s go back. Shall we go back to eat meatball hot pot?”
Han Fei couldn’t help asking, “What is meatball hot pot?”
Le Renkuang snickered and said, “When I was dreaming, I dreamt that I bought dozens of different kinds of meatballs from the Tree Core City, and then threw them into the hot pot. The taste was very good.”
Zhang Xuanyu was speechless. “You sound as though you’ve actually eaten them…”
The next day.
The examination facilities in the Wind Thunder Arena had finally disappeared, and many people let out a long breath of relief after seeing the tables and chairs gone.
The exam yesterday was hell-level difficult. As a cultivator, it was more comfortable to fight. Taking an exam or something was simply torture.
Everyone gathered in the arena.
The mayor of the Wind Thunder Town said, “The results of the exam yesterday have come back. Most people have a good result. The results have been informed to the academies. You can directly ask your president. After an hour, we will conduct the third assessment.”
“Hiss!”
Everyone took a breath in shock. Is there a third damn assessment?
Some people wondered, “Most people have gotten good results? Are you kidding me?” Someone exclaimed, “Has anyone worked out those questions?”
For a while, no one was in the mood to think what the third assessment would be about and everyone surrounded their respective president.
As for the Thug Academy, there were only 7 people including Old Bai and Wenren Yu.
Han Fei couldn’t help asking, “President, how many points did I take? Did I pass the exam?”
Old Bai was taken aback. “Pass the exam? What is that?”
Han Fei hurriedly said, “It’s a 100-point paper. If I get 60 points, I pass the exam!” Old Bai looked at Han Fei as if looking at a lunatic. “What are you talking about? Pass the exam? 60 points? Are you dreaming?” Han Fei: “…”
However, Old Bai said, “But there is someone among you who has passed the exam. It’s Xiaobai. She seemed to have scored 60 points or so.”
Everyone: “…”
Han Fei couldn’t help clutching his head… Luo Xiaobai only got 60 points? I must have failed this exam!
