123: Chapter 123 This back door is too obvious.

For the first ten seconds after the black test papers appeared, no one in the classroom spoke.

Even the Homeroom Teacher on the podium didn't move.

The chalk dust still lingered on the edge of the blackboard, and the conic section problem written halfway through hung there, as if it had suddenly become unemployed.

On the desks, the test papers lay spread out quietly.

The few lines of text at the beginning of the paper were more intimidating than any official notice.

[ Foreign Language Tribunal · First National Unified Examination ]

[ Invigilator: Chu Youwei ]

[ Exam Time: Now ]

[ Those scoring below sixty points will be judged as defective educational products ]

[ Defective products will enter the remedial examination process ]

The last line of text wasn't large.

But the whole class saw it.

Li Hao stared at the test paper, his mouth agape for a long time, before finally turning his head to look at the spot where Chu Youwei had just vanished.

The seat was empty.

She was gone.

But her name was still hanging on the test paper.

He held his breath for three seconds, then whispered with emotion: "Awesome... School Beauty Chu's promotion speed is faster than the Homeroom Teacher getting a professional title upgrade."

No one replied.

Because everyone was flipping through their papers.

Then, gasps of air could be heard one after another in the classroom.

"What is this thing?"

"Where's the listening section? Why does it start directly with reading comprehension?"

"It's over, it's over, this is the end."

"Why is it so hard? I don't know how to do it!"

Li Hao looked at two multiple-choice questions, and his face started turning green.

He glanced at the final composition and translation sections, and he turned even greener.

"No way."

"Is there some kind of personal grudge here?"

Li Hao stared at the top of the paper with a look of grief and indignation: "I can understand the Invigilator being listed as Chu Youwei. But for her to set the questions like this, I can only interpret it as settling a personal score."

Once he finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly regain his balance.

That's right.

What was he panicking about?

No matter how hard this test paper was, Su Yun was here too.

And Su Yun's foreign language skills had always been a spectacle in the class.

They were at a level where teachers had to take a deep breath before deciding how to write their comments.

Thinking of this, Li Hao felt relieved.

"It's fine."

"If the sky falls, Brother Yun will be there to cushion it."

"Going by the rules, if there's really going to be a penalty, it'll definitely be him first."

On the podium, the Homeroom Teacher finally snapped back to reality.

He looked down at the black test paper that had also appeared on his own desk, then glanced at the terrified students below. After a few seconds of silence, instinct overcame his shock.

He raised his hand and knocked on the blackboard.

Thump, thump.

"Don't panic."

"Sit down first."

"Since it's an exam, let's follow the exam hall discipline first."

"If there's anything... we'll talk after the exam."

These words were very simple.

But the effect was surprisingly good.

The whole class actually quieted down quite a bit.

The reason was also simple.

The test papers weren't biting, breathing fire, or dragging anyone away for the moment.

Aside from being a bit difficult and weird, there didn't seem to be anything else.

Since that was the case, they might as well do it.

Maybe if they passed, nothing would happen.

At the same time.

Gu Lang looked at the black paper on his desk, his expression changing bit by bit.

He was different from ordinary students.

What others saw was "Strange Tales exam has arrived."

What he saw was a path to becoming a king.

And the most outrageous part was!!

The location was still Linhai No. 2 High School.

"..."

Gu Lang gripped his pen, unable to write for a long time.

He only had one thought in his mind.

Was there something wrong with the feng shui of this school?

Why could this school produce three such awesome people at the same time?

Of course, one of them was himself, and another was Su Yun.

The last one was Chu Youwei.

Gu Lang's eyes went a bit blank.

Someone who was an ordinary student yesterday, and at most an A-rank special sequence user today, had now become the Invigilator covering the entire national examination hall.

Gu Lang subconsciously thought of the Investigation Bureau's deductions, and his breath hitched.

Didn't Captain Jiang and the others say there was still a buffer period?

How did Chu Youwei reach the top in the blink of an eye?

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

But soon, he forced himself to calm down.

"It has nothing to do with me."

"I am just an examinee."

"Let's finish the test paper first."

Gu Lang lowered his head to scan the questions, and his expression shifted again.

These questions were very tricky.

It wasn't the kind of difficulty that came from just piling up vocabulary, but a difficulty with a bias toward rules.

It didn't just test if you knew the material, but also whether your understanding was normal.

Once your train of thought went off track, the whole section afterwards would easily become problematic.

Gu Lang wrote a few answers and already had an idea.

Don't even think about a perfect score.

Being able to maintain a passing grade would count as having a good day.

"Fortunately."

"The rules aren't targeting me right now."

He had just exhaled half a breath of relief when he suddenly remembered something more important.

Su Yun.

Gu Lang shifted his gaze and looked to the side.

He had originally intended to watch a joke.

Even he had to be careful with this paper, so Su Yun, who usually wanted to drop dead on the spot whenever he saw a foreign language, would most likely be judged as a "defective educational product" on the spot today.

But when he looked over!!

Gu Lang froze.

Su Yun was bowing his head, holding his pen, writing furiously.

Not spacing out.

Not guessing randomly.

He was writing very fluently.

And he wasn't just doing the multiple-choice questions.

Fill-in-the-blanks, reading comprehension, translation, even the composition box at the back was almost full.

Gu Lang's eyes widened sharply.

Not right.

This was too wrong.

He had seen with his own eyes that when Su Yun did foreign language papers, the temperature around him would drop.

When did this guy get this kind of speed for doing questions?

Unless...

Gu Lang couldn't hold back his breath, stood up abruptly, and his voice went out of tune.

"He is not Su Yun!"

The whole class went quiet.

Even the Homeroom Teacher turned his head sharply to look.

Li Hao, who was busy selecting A, also looked up, looking bewildered.

Su Yun "himself" slowly looked up, watching Gu Lang with an innocent expression.

"Who are you cursing?"

Gu Lang pointed at the paper on his desk, his hand shaking: "How could you be this capable?"

As soon as the words left his mouth.

The black test paper on his desk suddenly shook.

A line of text floated up.

[ Examinee Gu Lang, loud noise during the exam, disrupting exam hall discipline, deduct 20 points ]

Gu Lang: "..."

The next second, the [ 75 ] in the top right corner of his test paper instantly jumped to [ 55 ].

Gu Lang looked down at the score, his face turning pale instantly.

Fifty-five.

Failing.

This meant that all his hard work earlier had been for nothing.

And he wasn't confident about getting all the later questions right anyway.

In other words, he would most likely really have to go through that "penalty process" now.

Gu Lang's expression stiffened, and he was on the verge of a breakdown.

No.

He had only told the truth!

This gets deducted too?

The Su Yun Clone beside him glanced at him, his expression complex, as if looking at a friend who had suddenly had a seizure during the exam.

"Calm down."

"You can't blame others for having good grades just because you didn't do well, right?"

Gu Lang almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Li Hao had originally wanted to join in the commotion, but when he saw Gu Lang get twenty points deducted on the spot, he instantly shrank his neck back.

He looked left and right, confirmed the rules weren't targeting him, and then carefully lowered his voice, leaning toward Gu Lang.

"Buddy."

"You don't know the value of private tutoring."

After saying that, he looked at Su Yun's test paper with an envious expression.

"School Beauty Chu even chased him home to give him lessons; it's reasonable for Brother Yun to get stronger, right?"

Gu Lang: "..."

Reasonable my foot.

If one tutoring session could make grades this good, he would have had perfect scores long ago.

Gu Lang didn't believe it; he wanted to find some clues.

His neck turned stiffly, staring at that nearly filled-out test paper, and he finally saw the content on it.

Question 1.

[ Which of the following letters is A? ]

A. A

B. B

C. C

D. D

Question 2.

[ What is the first letter of apple? ]

...

Gu Lang: "..."

He looked further back.

Question 9.

[ Please write down any 1 of the 26 English letters. ]

Question 10.

[ Bonus points: If you feel the exam is very difficult, you may write "Too difficult" here ]

Gu Lang's brain buzzed.

This wasn't their test paper.

No, this couldn't even be called a test paper.

This was early childhood education material.

It was meant to coax children into learning how to read!

On what grounds?!

Gu Lang stared fixedly at the test paper on Su Yun's desk, completely numb.

Could this rule-based examination hall even play favorites?

Others got reading comprehension, and he got alphabet recognition?

This wasn't just favoritism anymore.

This was opening a whitelist for one's own son!

This wasn't tutoring anymore.

This was openly opening a backdoor!

This is simply beastly!
