The proctor turned his back, and the smile that had just appeared on his face vanished.
The exam had only been going for forty minutes.
He knew very well what kind of students were handing in their papers at this time.
Mostly, they were the ones who didn't study hard usually and had no other choice, reluctantly handing in their papers.
They weren't even willing to stick it out a bit longer.
Many questions on mystery studies can be figured out if you just think them through.
The proctor picked up the paper from the table and headed towards the podium, shaking his head.
Baiyu didn't know what the proctor was thinking. He packed his things and walked out.
Many in the classroom witnessed this scene.
"He finished so quickly; did he solve the final open-ended question? If he's handing in his paper early, he must be really confident in his answers. Damn, that question is such a headache."
Yue Zian stared at the last big question on the paper, hesitating to write.
Others thought Baiyu couldn't solve it and handed it in early.
This monster must have solved everything.
The proctor went to the podium, placed the paper on the desk, and gave a helpless smile to the other proctor beside him.
"There's always a student each year who hands in the paper early. It's something you'll get used to over time, Dong." Another proctor said.
Dong Chunsheng said disappointedly, "They don't even have the perseverance to stick it out till the end. For such students to practice mysticism and become martial artists, they're just asking for trouble and wasting school resources."
"Each year is worse than the last. Not even as resilient as we old folks."
He picked up the paper haphazardly and glanced over it.
But with just a casual glance, he froze.
The paper was filled with answers, not a blank space to be seen.
"Did he just scribble randomly?"
Dong Chunsheng couldn't believe that someone could finish the test in forty minutes.
Especially the last scenario simulation question.
If this test were given to the teachers, without prior knowledge of the answers, it would take at least an hour to complete.
Driven by curiosity, he continued reading.
His expression grew more and more solemn.
The answers to the multiple-choice questions were all correct. The fill-in-the-blank section was completely correct.
And the short answer and analysis questions.
Not only did the student analyze more than twenty standard points, but he also considered additional situations and made supplements.
More comprehensive than the correct answer!
With a heart full of amazement, Dong Chunsheng read the final scenario simulation question's answer, then sighed deeply and put down the paper.
The younger generation is indeed formidable.
He could have managed the earlier questions.
But the final scenario simulation question, he would not have thought of answering it as completely as this student did.
The other proctor noticed Dong Chunsheng's grave expression and asked, "What's wrong, Dong? Still upset about that student from earlier?"
"Haha, if every student were like that one, I wouldn't mind dying from anger. Take a look at this test paper, it's beyond impressive. It's worth my trip back from the Shelter just to guide this graduating class."
A smile of satisfaction appeared on Dong Chunsheng's face.
The other teacher, suspicious, picked up the paper.
After a quick glance, he showed an expression even more amazed than Dong Chunsheng's: "A perfect test paper? When did Linjiang have such an outstanding student? Have we stayed in the Shelter too long to keep up with the times?"
"Haha, and it's from Teacher Qiong's class, Qiong Jiu's found a good sapling there." Dong Chunsheng was full of praise.
The two talked softly, their conversation not reaching the ears of the other test-takers.
But their expressions, like young girls in crush, sparked curiosity among the test-takers below, all wondering what made these two proctors so happy.
In the Mental Testing Room.
Below a machine encased in metallic armor, a status report slowly emerged.
Mental state: Perfect
Pollution level: Zero percent
Accumulated negative emotions: None
Assessment: Your mental resilience is shocking.
"I thought my pollution level would increase a bit; it seems even after experiencing extraordinary events, there's still no impact whatsoever."
Baiyu sat on the chair in the testing room.
After every exam, students needed their mental state checked.
Perhaps due to Baiyu's exposure to various bizarre cultures in a past life, his spiritual contamination level has been very low since crossing over.
It hardly ever exceeded five percent.
If it did exceed occasionally, it would quickly drop back.
After activating the Scholar System, it hit a new low, reaching a shocking zero percent.
Just then, the door to the testing room was pushed open.
There wasn't just one mental testing room, and most students were still taking their exams.
The probability of two students running into each other was very small.
The probability of them knowing each other, even smaller.
Qian Xue looked at Baiyu sitting inside, and after a while, she finally snapped out of it, discreetly taking two steps away from him.
"Stupid woman? Why are you here? As an Investigator, shouldn't you be dealing with the aftermath of the Bruce incident? Also, aren't you from Linjiang Second Middle School, attending the same school as Qin Shou?"
Baiyu asked curiously.
Qian Xue stood in another corner, her tone inexplicably reverent: "I'm a student, so naturally, I have to take the second mock exam. The Investigator in East District is Sister Lin Shan. I just usually help her out. Besides, didn't you know all the students from Linjiang City are taking the second mock exam at Linjiang First Middle School? Even if you spend your days doing bizarre things, you should at least know about your school's exams."
Baiyu really didn't know.
He thought it was like the first mock exam, conducted at their respective schools.
Their brief exchange ended quickly.
From Qian Xue's behavior, she seemed to fear Baiyu a bit.
But Baiyu didn't know what he did to scare her.
After all, as an Extraordinary, shouldn't he maintain his poise?
He was unaware of the shock the Armstrong Rotary Accelerator Jet Cannon had on Qian Xue.
For any normal person.
Facing such a Spiritual Technique Scroll, they likely wouldn't stay calm.
She was now utterly terrified.
As someone seemingly mentally unstable like Baiyu, who dares to go confront the mastermind behind supernatural events, might quietly surprise her one day—a situation even immortals can't save.
Better not to provoke.
"Qian Xue, you're here."
A bright male voice suddenly came from outside.
A handsome young man with slicked-back hair and a charming face walked in.
The man was very handsome.
His looks could easily score a nine out of ten, just one point shy of Baiyu.
Seeing the bright red bouquet of roses in his hands and the expression of warm affection on his face, Baiyu's expression shifted.
Finally, it's about to happen!
Since crossing over, this is his first time to show off and face-slap!
According to the plot that follows.
This man should be Qian Xue's suitor, misunderstanding his relationship with Qian Xue, relying on his unusual family background to step on him hard, and then getting slapped back hard!
Baiyu had an epiphany, sitting upright in his chair, quietly waiting.
He was even a little excited inside.
When the man saw Baiyu inside the mental testing room, his warm expression froze instantly, his gaze flitting between the two.
Qian Xue's expression changed, and she quickly said, "It's not what you think."
But the man completely ignored her, snapping, "Shut up! What's this 'not'!"
Qian Xue's voice abruptly stopped.
Seeing the man stride forward to Baiyu.
Just as Baiyu prepared to pose coolly.
The man suddenly grabbed his hand, his voice filled with excitement and admiration: "You... you are Senior Baiyu, aren't you!!"
Qian Xue slapped her forehead, showing a face of utter resignation: "I knew it..."
