I built the Black Tower City in Sumeru.

Chapter 12's questions are way too easy.

Chen Bo also has a lot of experience with exams.

During his graduate studies in his previous life, he was often forced by his advisor to proctor exams for undergraduates.

Simply put, it means helping your supervisor.

From the teacher's perspective, it's immediately clear who is scratching their head, who is cheating, and who is daydreaming.

Small actions can't be hidden at all.

It mainly depends on how strict the invigilation is.

Most university exams are not very strict, mainly because they are unnecessary.

After all, it's not a crucial exam.

However, the selection exam for the Academy of Education is similar in nature to the college entrance examination, as it determines resource allocation and future prospects.

It determines how much funding will be allocated and which mentor will be able to get close to.

The invigilation was extremely strict.

The curling test is done.

All the questions are on one test paper.

The exam is out of 500 points and lasts for four hours.

Chen Bo glanced at the test paper as soon as he received it.

The first type of question is fill-in-the-blank.

The questions were all simple, basic knowledge questions. The main knowledge points tested were rainforest ecology and species identification.

These types of questions purely test memory. For example, question three: "Briefly describe the territorial marking behavior of the mandarin tiger and its role in the rainforest food chain."

Or, for question five: "The principle behind the color changes of the petals of the Rose of Mount Sumeru under different lighting conditions."

For fill-in-the-blank questions like these, you either know the answer or you don't; there's no way to guess.

However, for Chen Bo, these questions were no different from easy ones.

Basically, once you've read the question, you can start writing the answer smoothly.

There was absolutely no thought process involved.

A continuous line.

Sitting behind Chen Bo was a boy wearing thick-rimmed glasses, who was biting his pen tightly, with a fine layer of sweat on his forehead.

He had just gotten stuck on a question about "the spread of star mushroom spores" and was racking his brains to recall which chapter and page of the textbook it was.

However, the incessant writing noise from the row in front of me was getting a little annoying.

How come he keeps writing without stopping at all? Doesn't he need to think at all?

"This guy... he's just writing nonsense, right?" the bespectacled man reassured himself. "Who solves problems without pausing? He definitely doesn't know how to do it and is just making things up."

This writing took twenty minutes.

In twenty minutes, all the basic questions were easily solved.

The speed at which Chen Bo answered the questions mainly depended on the speed at which he wrote.

Or rather, even though it took twenty minutes to finish writing, it was still slowed down by Chen Bo's writing speed.

Then, Chen Bo turned the test paper over and began to look at the questions at the back.

The bespectacled man behind Chen Bo trembled, and the tip of his pen drew a long ink mark on the test paper.

The page has turned? It's turned the page already?

Have you finished answering all the fill-in-the-blank questions?

You didn't even know how to do the first question, so you skipped to the next one?

Chen Bo looked at the questions in the second part.

"Analysis of the structure of biological organs"

The difficulty of the questions suddenly increased.

If the biomechanical school is divided into arts and sciences, the main body can be classified as arts, which mainly focuses on memorization and on examination in terms of experiments.

Biological mechanisms are the only science-related topic among them.

Although it is only the basic structure of a living organism.

However, the difficulty is also quite high.

This is not just about endorsement; it also requires logical construction and calculation.

This type of question happens to be Chen Bo's specialty.

Because Chen Bo previously worked in mechanics, the so-called biomechanical system was simply replacing gears with muscle fibers.

Instead, it simplifies the complex.

It was also easy to win.

Another ten minutes passed.

The question is completely finished.

At that moment, a girl in front of her stood up, handed in her paper, and then walked away gracefully.

Because Chen Bo was sitting at the back, he subconsciously assumed that the students in front of him were top students.

I couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the Academy is full of hidden talents. Someone can answer questions as fast as me. Are the questions this time too easy?"

Thinking of this, Chen Bo carefully checked the paper again. The handwriting was neat, the logic was coherent, and even the punctuation marks were not missed.

Perfect, without a single problem.

Then, he stood up, picked up the test paper, and walked to the podium.

Seated in the chief proctor's seat was Nafis, the sage of Amirido Academy.

The sage is the dean of an academy, a position of considerable status and prestige.

Especially in places like Mount Sumeru.

This official position is equivalent to a minister in a ministry.

The old man, with his white hair and beard, was wearing a stern face, clearly not in a good mood.

He was very annoyed by the student who handed in a blank paper.

Young people these days are getting more and more restless. They can't even sit still for four hours, so what kind of research can they do?

When he saw another student come up, Nafis frowned again.

Another one giving up?

The current student body of the "life theory" school is producing increasingly lower-quality students each year; it definitely needs a serious overhaul.

"Just leave it there." Nafis said without even looking up.

Chen Bo didn't say anything, placed the test paper flat on the table with both hands, and turned to leave.

Nafis picked up his teacup, took a sip, and casually glanced at the paper out of the corner of his eye.

The next second, the teacup stopped at his lips.

There are no blank spaces.

This is not a blank paper, but a paper that is filled with writing.

The black ink was densely packed, filling every answer area.

Nafis paused for a moment, put down his teacup, picked up the paper, and began to look at it curiously.

The handwriting is beautiful, but that's not important.

The important thing is the content.

The first question was answered correctly.

The second question was answered correctly.

Nafis adjusted his glasses and sat up straight.

It's not unusual to get all the questions right by rote memorization; anyone can do it if they put in the effort to memorize them.

He flipped directly to the last major question.

The title is: "Illustrated diagram of the force and motion of bionic joints in complex terrain".

This is a complex mechanics problem.

Very few people can answer correctly.

However, this student not only provided a perfect answer, but also added a note at the end:

"Considering the corrosion of metal components caused by the high humidity of the rainforest environment, it is recommended to add a hydrophobic coating based on 'mushroom spore extract' to the joints to reduce wear..."

That's really detailed.

Nafis then read through all the remaining questions.

All correct, not a single question was wrong.

This is a perfect score test paper.

That's interesting, so very interesting.

For many years, no one has ever gotten a perfect score on an exam.

Nafis raised his head and looked in the direction Chen Bo had left, his eyes filled with the surprise of discovering a gem.

This year, the college has produced a promising student.

"Anil..." He glanced at the name on the scroll and silently memorized it.

I wonder if this student would be interested in being my research assistant. I'll go and ask them after the exam.

Submitting the exam early did not put pressure on the students taking the test.

They all assumed that the two students had submitted blank papers.

There were only two exceptions.

One of them was that unlucky guy sitting in the row behind Chen Bo.

When Chen Bo stood up just now, Raj subconsciously looked up at him.

That one glance completely shattered his composure.

He watched as Chen Bo's exam paper was covered with dense writing!

Even the bonus question section is completely filled!

How is that possible?!

It hasn't been that long.

Raj looked down at his still largely blank exam paper, then at the empty seat in front of him, his head buzzing.

Could it be that this year's questions were actually quite simple?

Am I too stupid?

It’s over.

This time we'll definitely be last.

My mindset is unbalanced, and I feel even more confused.
