Chapter 14 (2/2)

Shen Zhe’s eyes widened.

No wonder Ling Xueru was proud. She certainly had every reason to be.

The calculations were too complicated for him to understand.

“Ninety-eight points!”

Soon, he determined her result.

Her answer was absolutely the same as the teacher’s, except for the speculation at the end.

She deserved to be the student with the best grades in her class.

Coincidentally, Shen Zhe’s paper had been given to Ling Xueru.

Ling Xueru was satisfied and comforted to see that Shen Zhe wrote confidently just then, but the moment she read his answer, she knew that she shouldn’t have felt happy that soon!

“What did he write?”

“Cooking tips?”

“The question was about refining, yet you’re adding oil and pepper powder…”

She thought that Shen Zhe was making progress, but he had betrayed himself in the test, showing that he was even worse than before!

While his grades were bad in the past, he was able to get some points, but he had apparently given up on himself.

Shaking her head, she looked at the correct answer on the blackboard and wrote a score after hesitating for a moment.

“Submit the answers now!” said Xin Qi, seeing that everyone had stopped writing.

Soon, all the papers were piled on the rostrum.

“I’ll announce your grades now!”

Sorting the answers according to their grades, Xin Qi said, “Ling Xueru, 98! Cui Xiao, 95…”

Although the quiz was difficult and there was no definitive answer, more than half of the students had scored higher than ninety points, while the rest were all above eighty points.

Shen Zhe noticed that even Wang Qing had gotten 86 points.

“This doesn’t make sense. My answer is different from the one on the blackboard, but it has been verified in practice… Why has my name not been announced yet?”

Shen Zhe frowned.

He was very confident about his answer.

After all, the herb liquid had been produced; it improved his body to the seventh stage.

Such a correct answer should score at least ninety points, if not a full score… Why was his name not mentioned?

“The last one… Shen Zhe!”

While he was puzzled about this, Xin Qi read his name aloud.

Everybody looked at him, as if wondering how many points the last place of their class could get.

“Three points!” said Xin Qi with determination.

“Three points?”

Shen Zhe was stunned.

Such a perfect answer had produced so few points?

“I thought that you could get at least sixty points, but I didn’t know that you could be so bad!”

His face grim, Xin Qi was about to explode.

He had never seen a lower score in all his years of teaching.

It certainly had created a new record.

You could get points by writing a few random formulas on the paper. Three points meant that Shen Zhe had gotten everything wrong!

“It’s almost impossible to become a Druggist, even for those with more than 95 points. Three points…”

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Xin Qi raised his eyebrow and slapped the desk furiously, “Shen Zhe, tell me, what can you do with three points?”

“Well…”

Sheepishly standing up, Shen Zhe scratched his head and said innocently, “Avoid getting a zero?”
