We Agreed to Stay Together, But You Betrayed Us?
After a round of explanations, Lin Chang`an heard a female student, who was the second to come out of the examination hall, break down in tears.
“See? I told you that it was simple. There’s someone breaking out in tears of joy.” Lin Chang`an turned and looked over.
She was a girl with a childlike appearance who had been skipping away with her hair tied up in twin ponytails. But now, she was squatting down and crying loudly, like she was very happy.
When the reporters saw her, they quickly gushed toward her.
“This girl seems to be quite famous?”
Lin Chang`an didn’t think much about it.
He returned to the bus and his form teacher looked impatient.
To think that the first person to come out was Lin Chang`an. She didn’t even feel like asking what kind of questions there was this time around.
Lin Chang`an was happy with this outcome and continued to cultivate silently.
His qi and blood value slowly grew and very soon, other people from his class who had completed the paper successively returned to the bus.
Some of them were happy and some were sad.
Many people were comparing answers.
“Sh*t! It’s over!” The student who was often the top in class in humanities now wore a painful expression.
Many people instantly appeared spirited. “What is it?”
“What happened? You didn’t do well?” All of them seemed a little agitated.
“I answered one multiple choice question wrongly! Sigh! I won’t be able to get full marks!” After attracting everyone’s attention, the person spoke with some feelings of pity.
“F*ck!”
“Scram!”
When the four hours were up, the rest of the people who hadn’t finished the paper were forced to leave. All of them wore crestfallen expressions.
Many people were sobbing and some even started to howl.
The artificial intelligence rapidly went through the papers and came up with the scores.
15 minutes later, the examination’s official website and the huge banner in the sky showed the results with everyone’s scores. The examinees were also split into groups.
Everyone on the bus turned their gazes toward the section for those from Qindao City.
Qindao City’s Number Two High School.
“Geng Hanxin, 691 points!”
The ranking was in the order of the score obtained, and the full mark was 720 points. The student who was often first in class had gotten 691 points, so he got first place once again.
This person let out a sorrowful lament. “Sigh, as expected, I didn’t do well.”
“F*ck...”
“To hell with you! All of you, don’t stop me!”
Someone was angered by his pretentious attitude and had a strong urge to fight him.
Through the unified examination, people were split into two groups.
Those who didn’t pass would forever be at the bottom of society.
Those who did would continue to progress upward with hope.
The difference between the two was vast.
There were many things that they would never get an opportunity to resolve if they weren’t taken care of now.
With the results for the humanities examination out, there were also sounds of fighting in the buses from other schools.
The class continued to check the list.
“Sang Zixiu, 677 points!”
Envious voices rang out again.
Then, as they continued down, everyone was stunned.
“Lin Chang`an, 661 points!”
The form teacher: “?”
All the classmates: “??”
Many people rubbed their eyes, and their faces filled with disbelief.
Was this still that good-for-nothing? Why was his score for humanities so high?!
This score would definitely put him in Group A. When he drew lots, he’d definitely pick one from Group F. This meant that he had basically passed the first round successfully.
All the gazes looked over.
Some of the gazes were envy, some surprise, but more of disbelief.
To think that someone who hadn’t been studying for three years turned out to be third in the class? Scoring over 660 points?
Who the f*ck should they go to reason this with?!
Didn’t that mean that there was a high chance that Lin Chang`an might pass the examination and enter an academy?
The other bottom rankers in the class suddenly didn’t know how they should feel.
“This feeling... why does it feel as if I’ve eaten shit?”
“F*ck, we agreed to stay together, but you betrayed us?”
(We’re all ranked at the bottom in the class, but at the last moment, you’re saying that you’re going to bypass those in front? Are you McLaren? F*ck!)
(I can’t accept this!)
But very soon, someone suddenly thought of something.
“That’s not right. No matter how good his humanities result is, his qi and blood value is just 134. Even if the opponent he meets is from the F Group, they’ll be of a similar or higher qi and blood value!”
“This... he seems to be sending warmth?”
Suddenly, many people’s eyes lit up.
Those who ended up in Group F felt that there was hope.
If they were extremely lucky and happened to encounter him in their first round of the arena battle, wouldn’t that mean that they’d pass?
All the bottom-ranking students instantly felt a lot better.
(That’s right. Everyone is at the bottom, so why did you climb up by yourself secretly? Isn’t it good to accept fate?)
They continued to check the list and very soon, everyone in the class ascertained their scores and group.
In this unified examination, the examinees were grouped from S to F based on their number and score.
Those who scored 700 or higher were put into Group S, those who scored 655 or higher were put into Group A, and those who scored 600 or higher were put into Group B.... Finally, those who scored 300 or lower were put into Group F.
According to the rules, the first round was an elimination round. The names of those in Group S and Group A were put into Box One.
Those from Group F went into the next box.
A number would first be picked from Box One, followed by an opponent from the other box.
Those who were from Group S and A would definitely meet someone from Group F in the first round.
Although one’s humanities score might not necessarily be equivalent to their battle prowess, there was still an extremely high probability of them being at a relative level.
In the past, the passing rate for the first round of the arena battle for those from Group S and A was 99% or higher, with only a few cases of accidents. This showed how important the humanities examination was.
Lin Chang`an was put into Group A and for the first round, he would definitely meet someone from Group F. There was a high chance that his opponent would be a weakling.
...
At noon, food and drinks were distributed to the examinees.
After having the food, everyone felt instantly invigorated. It was as if all of their fatigue had been washed away.
When it was close to the time for the arena battle in the afternoon, the examination venue rumbled.
A deep crack appeared on the ground, and the massive square that took up a space of several thousand kilometers sank under the ground. The crack then closed under everyone’s extremely astonished gazes.
The examination venue that had been split into multiple rooms now turned into a massive square. Moreover, a huge spectators stand that circled around the square had appeared.
At one glance, the spectator stand could seat at least several hundred thousand people.
“All the spectators, please enter the venue orderly!” A broadcast sounded from the center of the square, and the densely-packed crowd started to slowly enter from all four corners.
The unified examination was the grandest event in the country every year.
There wasn’t any other such major event in the entire Huaxia, and it was hard to get a ticket to the spectator’s stand.
Those who sat in the very front row were usually the leaders or the management teams of the various corporations. They were usually rich or had distinguished statuses.
At the sight of such a scene, ordinary students would be stunned.
Outside the waiting area, many people looked astonished. There were also people who were discussing excitedly amongst themselves.
“Isn’t this Huaxia Mercenary Alliance’s six-star soldier chief?”
“F*ck! To think that an important figure like this would come to watch the Jiangbei Province’s unified examination.”
“He should be giving the Jiangbei Province some face. How could such an influential figure be willing to come to watch children playing around?”
“Is that an important figure from the Virtual Universe Company? The clothes he’s wearing is V8?”
“Oh god!”
Many people felt that this wasn’t a wasted trip just from seeing these characters.
Usually, they could only see such important figures through the Internet or television. Who would have thought that they could see them here in person?
After the important figures in the very front row took their seats, the audience in the back row started to take their seats in succession.
Many people started to take selfies and post them on their social media.
There were also people who turned on their cameras and were streaming.
Being able to get a ticket was definitely something worth boasting about.
The Jiangbei Province had a population of over one billion. Hence, several hundred thousand tickets weren’t enough to go around.
At this moment, the big screen in the examination venue was showing information that the examinees needed to know. After the spectator’s stand was filled up, the examinees slowly streamed into the venue.
