Quiz 59: Heart’s Window
“What?! Little Qiao, you’re not going?” Meng Ming had only found out during class that day that Huang Qiao Yi hadn’t registered for the joint examinations
“That’s right,” Huang Qiao Yi s has already been in school for a se Ming should go play around by himself in the final exam this time”
Meng Ming was a bit depressed If Huang Qiao Yi went, it was possible that she could’ve been a huge help at the exa…
“Isn’t that fine?” Zhou Lun Yu popped up rando wrapped up in this kind of annoying exam”
“But…” Meng Ming was still soood; without her grades, Lin Xian’s total points would decrease by a lot Helplessly, he said, “Zhou Lun Yu, judging froistered”
Zhou Lun Yu had indeed registered, but Meng Ming didn’t know that Zhou Lun Yu wasn’t worried about grades in this exam He said, “If you have the tireetings of those three were filled with malicious intentions”
As expected, Kui Yuan’s C-type students were preparing to stir up trouble at the final exam?!
Those Kui Yuan C-types have to be crushed before I can have the energy to focus on Sun Ming Qing In short, I need to first work together with Zhuge Meng Ming Although Zhou Lun Yu thought this, he didn’t voice it “There’s quite a few of theainst theood if you can prove to be of some use”
Although this annoyed Meng Ming, he also understood that Zhou Lun Yu’s habit was just like this…
During these past few days, Meng Ming and Zhou Lun Yu had already gotten a general feel of Guo Dian’s and Lu Xiao’s most practiced skills—two of their opponents for this final However, Qi Tian Ao was still a mystery
Lu Xiao was an expert at playing the electric guitar Not only could he use friction fros to create a powerful electric power at the tips of his fingers, he could also let the electricity flow through his skin Depending on the strength of the current, he could sense different things going on around him
“Playing with an electric erous one should be the one that finds pleasure in har others at the exam site, Guo Dian”
In the past, his grades had been the second best in the entire district, which
Guo Dian was an expert at Chinese and Western art Since he’d first learned how to draw, he’d always had an excellent grasp of the lighting of art and hoell the colors blended together Zhou Lun Yu said, “The flow and aether, their thickness and stickiness work in harhtest drop, able to obtain the exact desired color and aers to control the content on the paper,the product exactly perfect”
“Drawing pens, paints, ink, and whatever can’t be brought into the exa asked
Zhou Lun Yu answered, “Both Chinese and Western art are not li that must be added He has completely mastered the rhythm of the liquid drops and their flohen he draws—he can easily scribble all over another person’s test papers”
Meng Ming pondered this for a bit There were only so s that were allowed into the exam site “So, you mean to say…”
“H water”
During the last class today, Teacher wang announced the arrangements for the final exams
“Ohohoho!! From the looks of it, there aren’t thatto participate in the joint examinations!” She happily asked, “Do all of you want to stay here and participate in the unified examinations?!”
Class A’s Huang Qiao Yi and Bai Jiu were both people that wanted to stay
Teacher wang said “The 35 na in the joint exae Meng Ming, Zhou Lun Yu, and Jin Nai Nai After all, the adone to invite those three
Chen Fei already arranged everything, he’s so fast… Meng Ming put away the novel he’d been reading during class in preparation to listen to the joint exah the entire classroom—
“There is still a hint of war able to attend the unified examination with two beauties is really extreme fortune” shi+ Yun recited out fro, if you are the sun, I wholeheartedly hope that you can come illuminate our exam site”
Oi, are you still half-asleep?!
Asking her to proctor the final, have you lost your mind?!
If I’d realized earlier that I’d be taking the exaht as well have chosen to attend the joint exams…
“Ohohoho!! Then, as the sun, I’ll first talk about the joint exa had said this quite amiably “The date already been decided as next Monday The location has been set as well, so none of you need to worry about having the exam pushed forward at the last ed at Old Xian Town in the western part of Lin Xian!”
Once she brought up Old Xian Town, everyone in the class understood where the joint exam was located
“Little Qiao, where’s that?” Meng Ming secretly asked
“Mm, it’s a bit far fro Qiao Yi said “It’s an old town that’s located further south than Kui Yuan Although it’s called ‘old town,’ it’s actually more like a city, with a lot of skyscrapers There aren’t that s left anymore Aside from some scattered, run-down houses, the main points are the examination sites at Old Xian’s Twin Towers and on the opposite shore These are both still perfectly intact”
“Exae “What examination sites?”
Huang Qiao Yi said, “Those places were cities in the past The exao to hold the imperial examinations”
The imperial examinations were tests used to select the best people once every three years during ancient ti and Qing dynasties, any scholars that wanted to stand out could only do so through this imperial exa just for a place near the middle Hundreds of thousands worked hard to beco top marks in these exams Since this exao, the many aspects, from bitter hardshi+ps, a multitude of all emotions, countless stories, and numerous anecdotes, moved people, and were the source of their lamentations
These were exa thousands The person that passed would be bestowed an official title and enter the ranks of the nobility, while those that did not pass could only bitterly wait for the next exaan to try to h any means, fair or foul
Cheating had arisen from the imperial examinations
The io, had been the beginning stage of the current college entrance exas had been passed down
Huang Qiao Yi also actively explained the content and restrictions of the i
“That’s why I’ now understands why the first exam is Chinese every time”
“To think that the college entrance exam was a thousand year old tradition…and they didn’t let fe said
That’s not all… Zhou Lun Yu was sitting in his own seat, thinking about Sun Ming Qing’sis also a thousand year old tradition H this kind of site for the final exams really suits that person
Everything that needed to be said about the final exa finally explained, “The school will take care of the living accommodations All of the joint exas you want to bring with you Meet at the school gates next Monday at 8:30 am The school will drive the 35 examinees to the west of Lin Xian”
The students registered for the joint exams were very fortunate to be able to feel the ambience of the ancient examination site for their final exaather in that same exam site; it was unknown exactly which three subjects would be be part of the exae didn’t feel any concern, nor any insignificance —Originally, the administration head had forced him to attend, but now he had his own reason to partake
To him, these final exams were also a very important test—he’d promised Chen Fei that he would properly protect Jin Nai Nai
Everything was prepared and ready The time also flew by very quickly This day was the first day of the final exam
Alright, I have to gather h the next three days I definitely cannot lose! Meng Ming was on the bus in the earlyhimself
Prettyon the bus Although they still didn’t knohich subjects were being tested, their concentrations were locked onto books This was the last exarades There was also some discussion—
“Who knohat kind of site it is? Will any problems occur…ood grades…”
“Don’t be afraid of that I’rades at all In terms of comprehensive scores, I don’t believe that we’re lower than Kui Yuan We have the first-rate Zhuge Meng Ming, as well as that C-type called Zhou Lun Yu Also, I heard that the person ranked first on the ”
“Yeah, that’s right We definitely don’t need to worry about total grades, we’ll win! That’s e should just look after ourselves This is the final Let’s stop talking about it, I’o study”
The outstanding students on the bus were all actively preparing for war However, Meng Ming was still very depressed His guard wasn’t up at all…
The fe counted, and discovered that there was still one student roup, and obviously the one responsible for proctoring the exam as well
There were still a fewanxious as they waited Teacher Jiang wanted to leave early to calm everyone down, so she said to all of the students, “Everyone, please try to earnestly conduct the tests as the school has arranged; don’t worry about the issue of writing problems and the proctors The test papers, probleh strict evaluations There won’t be any flaws in the problem sheets or the exam papers”
Hmph, of course I know that The seated Zhou Lun Yu believed that anyone cheating on the problem sheets and exam papers would really be at too low of a level That kind of trick could be seen through with a single glance The exaht
“Zhou Lun Yu, why are you spacing out?” Meng Ming suddenly asked him
Zhou Lun Yu regained his senses before replying, “Did you think I was afraid of Kui Yuan’s group of C-types?” After ht: I alainst those troublesome Kui Yuan fellows…there’s too much to do They have a total of three people on their side…
Meng Ming had realized a while ago that Zhou Lun Yu seeht, if he didn’t say what he wanted to now…
“Hey, actually, you,” Zhou Lun Yu asked him, “Didn’t you say there was still one more student, the one that hasn’t yet boarded the bus?”
“Ah, that’s right,” Meng Ming replied with a nod There was still one h they could wait for a while, if the person didn’t arrive on time, others would always think of them as unreliable
“What kind of person is this?” Zhou Lun Yu asked “It’s fine if they’re a bit weaker, as long as they can prove to be even the slightest bit useful”
“Eh…” Meng Ming didn’t kno to reply In short, this student was one that was cohts… I don’t know if she would be useful, and she even needs our protection Meng Ming didn’t voice this out loud, and instead said, “Basically, this student I’ about is definitely not normal”
“This person’s really so a was just intentionally exaggerating, but he suddenly saw a girl racing over fro s There was also a piece of bread currently in her mouth
“Ah, she’s co immediately said, “I just knew she’d definitely come”
Jin Nai Nai boarded the bus with her bags of various sizes, and armly welcomed by all of the students!
“We’ll be relying on you, Number One!”
“I’ll probably still be unable to compare with you this time…!”
