Chapter 76: Chapter 75: Don’t Ask, If You Ask, I Did Better Than You in the Test

The theoretical exam was half an hour later, Bai Qi, relying on Husky’s brainpower, finally managed to record it. He then entered the exam room filled with confidence.
The exam room was not small, large enough to accommodate over a hundred people taking the exam at the same time. Above the exam room, all kinds of creatures from the Mechanical Engineering Department were almost everywhere.
Given the presence of Star Mechanics Academy, the use of mechanical creatures in Gusu City was quite extensive, so Bai Qi was not surprised that these devices were being used to monitor him.
But what was the purpose of these Super Energy Dolls?
[Name]: Super Energy Doll
[Race]: Super Energy Apartment
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Skills]: Telekinesis, Synchronization Interference, Illusion Beam
Bai Qi sensed his twin pets, which were essentially unreachable, and couldn’t help but develop a headache.
Originally, he planned to cheat using Husky. Now, it seemed that this wasn’t going to work.
Trying to take shortcuts really was not the way to go.
As Bai Qi was observing the surrounding surveillance equipment, three examiners walked in. The head examiner said, “All examinees, please take your seats. Do not sit in the wrong position.”
Bai Qi and the others took their seats in response. Once everyone was ready, the screens on the desks displayed the test paper for this theoretical exam.
To improve efficiency, both answering the questions and grading were done on the smart brain. Basically, the theoretical exam results would be out before the afternoon’s practical exam started.
Bai Qi received the test paper and first glanced over the whole paper.
Just as Gao Cheng predicted, there were many classic questions from Lingxi City in this exam. The content was almost evenly split with Gusu City.
The last big question was a bit surprising to Bai Qi. It was about rune knowledge.
“This is practically a freebie, I’ve got this.”
“Watch how a genius like me crushes the competition!”
In the meeting room of the Danggu Mountain Exam Centre.
President Qin and the President of Lingxi City Beast Master Association, Cui Ming, were sitting in front of a huge screen, checking the results of the first exam.
“President Qin, has Gusu City been too complacent these years? These results are not promising,” said Cui Ming mockingly, looking at the Lingxi City examinees leading significantly on the screen.
”Hmm-”
Seeing Cui Ming’s smug appearance, President Qin’s eyes twitched. Pretending not to hear Cui Ming’s words, he asked the several Shining Moon-level Beast Masters around him, “Have the data for the top ten been sorted out yet?”
A Shining Moon-level mage nodded, operated on the keyboard for a while, and the data of ten examinees appeared on the screen.
Looking at the data of the top ten, President Qin’s expression improved considerably.
Test pet: Ice Shadow Swordsman, a High-grade Elite, First Stage Eighth Level.
Energy Value: 13,000 points.
- 2. Xia Xuan
- 3. Zhang Kai
- 4. Han Wei
- 5. Wang Yun
Test pet: Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, a Low-level Lord, First Stage fifth level.
Energy Value: 9,000
Test pet: Nocturnal Raccoon, a Low-level Lord, First Stage sixth level.
Energy Value: 8,800
Test pet: Wind Demon Wolf, a High-grade Elite, First Stage fourth level.
Energy Value: 5,600
Test pet: Six-eyed Monkey, a Low-level Lord, First Stage fourth level.
Energy Value: 4,300
Three of the top five candidates were from Gusu City, and Bai Qi’s energy value took the lead. This was definitely something to boast about.
“A High-grade Elite with an energy value of 13000? President Qin really kept this trump card up his sleeve.”
Looking at Bai Qi’s shocking performance, Cui Ming couldn’t hide his astonishment but refused to back down, he said, “So, Bai Qi is the special trainee you endorsed to the headquarters, isn’t he, President Qin? It’s a shame that Yan Yun from our Lingxi City, advanced so rapidly that he was given his professional certification early. Otherwise, these two could have competed.”
President Qin chuckled and replied, “No need to rush. After all, the special trainees will have plenty of opportunities in the upcoming group training. Let’s focus on the current examination.”
Cui Ming said, “That’s true. Even though a high energy value is impressive, the practical examination tests more than just one’s ability to control beasts.”
Their Lingxi City was famous for its Super Energy Beasts, and among their Beast Masters, they had several individuals with unique talents, which gave them an advantage in the practical test.
“Hehe…I heard that Yan Yun is already at the third stage? Coincidentally, Celestial Brilliance’s son, Bai Qiucha, who also is at the third stage, is in Gusu City. Why don’t they meet?”
What a cheek, bringing up the unique and gifted Soul Communicator, Bai Qiucha, the son of the Legendary Son. Why don’t you call the Legendary Celestial Brilliance himself?
Seeing Cui Ming’s fiasco brought President Qin immense satisfaction.
Although Gusu City was still overall inferior to Lingxi City, their high-end talents were exceptional. They had three in the top five and five in the top ten. The crucial part was that the first place was from their city.
Moreover, as the Lamentation Tower gradually opened up to the entire city, the overall standard of Gusu City would rise as well.
It all banked on whether Bai Qi could hold up his end in the practical tests ahead.
In the examination room.
Bai Qi stared at the question paper before him, deep in thought.
Question 12: What should a Beast Master do when he is hypnotized by a spirit-beast in the wild, and there is no time to summon his own beast?
Who would venture into the wild without summoning their beast beforehand?
If such a situation did occur, Bai Qi wasn’t overly worried. With Husky’s superior perception, Bai Qi didn’t anticipate such an outcome.
However, a spirit beast might disrupt Husky’s senses, which reminded him to improve their resistance to such interference in the future.
Question 15: What is the correct course of action when a Beast Master is surrounded by a group of ferocious beasts in the wild?
Wait, was this question even worth considering? Either you trample over your opponents, or they trounce you. Did they want you to throw a party with the beasts instead?
Grouching about the starkly different real exam questions as compared to the past years, Bai Qi quickly completed the exam.
Quite a few candidates had also completed, but since candidates weren’t allowed to submit papers early for the theory exam, everyone just waited, mostly spending the time left to review their answers.
Compared to the upcoming practical test, the first two tests weren’t as essential, but they were able to weed out those with inadequate basic skills.
But Bai Qi had no intention of reviewing his answers. After verifying that his identity information on the paper was accurate, he leaned onto the table and started to meditate.
As everyone knows, the probability of revised answers being wrong is quite high.
Soon, the theory exam was over. The candidates exhaled with relief and pulled out their phones to wait for the results.
Because the papers were checked by a smart system, the results of the theory exam came out quickly, deciding whether the candidates could partake in the next round – the practical test.
Indeed, within five minutes, some candidates found their scores.
“Damn, I scored exactly 60 points! Thank you all!”
“I only got 61 points, I’m such a loser.”
“Ditto, ditto!”
Gao Cheng came over to Bai Qi and asked, “Bai Qi, how did you do?”
Bai Qi shook his head and sighed, “I crammed last minute, but thankfully, I managed to pass.”
“That’s good. The most important part, the third round of practical tests, is yet to come.”
Gao Cheng nodded. He had scored 88 points, just around what he had expected. Adding the grades from the first test, as long as he performed decently in the next round, he should be among the top 50. It was a pity that the last rune question exceeded his expectations; otherwise, his score would have been much higher.
“By the way, how much did you score?”
Looking at Bai Qi’s frustrated face, Gao Cheng somehow felt compelled to ask.
“Ah, just scored 95. Misread one question.”
Why the hell did I ask this guy?
Is this the world of top performers?
