Sus is a type of bird with feet like an owl but otherwise resembling a human. It's said that consuming it can cure epilepsy, tumors, and various other diseases.
The name of the supernatural special task force that Ma Ran is part of symbolizes the members' determination and will to sacrifice themselves to maintain social stability.
Back to the point.
Although the exam came unexpectedly, everyone quickly realized how seriously the school regarded it.
The school prepared stimulant drinks like Coke, Monster, Red Bull, and Nestle coffee for each candidate.
These drinks were stacked in boxes on the podium, and any student in need could take them freely.
The seating order in the classroom was completely rearranged under the arrangement of the homeroom teacher.
The signal jamming device began to take effect, cutting off the network completely, causing those who wanted to play a few more minutes on their phones to sigh in despair.
Three unfamiliar invigilators entered the classroom five minutes early.
They wore identical white shirts and black and red long robes, hiking boots on their feet, and had such stern appearances that it made many usually mischievous students fall silent in fear just by looking at them from a distance, not daring to make a move.
The classroom was exceptionally quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and you could even hear the heavy breathing of some students.
Time passed as the seconds ticked away.
At seven o'clock sharp, the cold-faced invigilator standing on the podium immediately announced, "The exam is officially starting. Please pay attention to exam discipline."
"Any cheating will result in a demerit recorded in your file, accompanying you for life."
His voice was slightly hoarse, but loud enough for everyone in the class to hear clearly.
Hearing this, Su Qiangwei, who was not very nervous initially, began to sweat in her palms.
The atmosphere was too serious!
Even during final exams or entrance exams, she had never seen such a scene!
To ease her inner tension, Su Qiangwei gave the three invigilators, who looked like triplets, nicknames—Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San.
Phew...
Taking a breath, Su Qiangwei twisted open the cap of a Coke bottle, took a small sip, and casually glanced ahead.
Ma Ran, that guy, was still exuding a sense of ease and composure, as if he wasn't here for an exam but rather an outing.
"The test papers have been handed out. Please do not look around."
The icy voice suddenly echoed in Su Qiangwei's ears, startling her and making her quickly look away from Ma Ran.
"Why is this invigilator like a ghost? Overly strict!"
While silently complaining, Su Qiangwei lowered her head, focusing on her test paper, and began to quickly scan through it.
This exam came suddenly, with no prior notification, and she originally thought it would be like usual, but it turned out not to be the case.
Clearly a Chinese exam, yet there were no fill-in-the-blank or essay questions, only multiple-choice!
Even the reading comprehension was converted into multiple-choice questions.
Without much thought, Su Qiangwei started writing furiously, determined to perform her best and beat Ma Ran in this battle, making a strong comeback to prove who the real winner is!
"However... these questions are a bit difficult."
Writing and sketching on the test paper, Su Qiangwei's eyes flickered with light, her gaze slightly fluctuating: "There are many traps buried in the questions. In seemingly simple questions, each option is set with a twist."
"The exam time is only one hour!"
"If I spend time carefully pondering, I could ensure a hundred percent correctness, but there's no way to finish them all!"
"Counting the time to fill in the answer sheet..."
"Hmph!"
"For exams, it's not just about having a lot of knowledge to score high!"
"Answering skills are crucial!"
"As long as I make full use of the time, this time..."
"I will win!"
Just as this thought emerged in her mind, a familiar voice echoed throughout the classroom.
"Teacher, I'm done. Can I submit my paper early?"
Su Qiangwei looked up abruptly, noticing Ma Ran raising his hand without hesitation.
"?"
The cold and unyielding invigilator was evidently caught off guard by this unexpected action.
He expressionlessly walked over to Ma Ran, picked up his test paper and answer sheet, glanced over them briefly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Focus on answering questions properly."
The first sentence from Invigilator Ah Da was said to the other candidates, the second to Ma Ran: "You can leave the room early, but please don't leave the campus and be ready for the next exam anytime."
"Okay, thanks for the reminder."
Ma Ran courteously replied and then leisurely strolled out of the classroom.
"..."
Su Qiangwei squinted at Ma Ran's back, her teeth gnashing audibly.
What kind of garbage bag brand is this guy from?
So capable of pretending?
...
"The Chinese exam is over. Please stop answering immediately."
Except for Ma Ran, no one knew the significance of this exam.
It wasn't a final exam, much less the college entrance exam. Although the school took it seriously, everyone didn't take it to heart and cooperatively put down their pens.
"You have five minutes to rest."
Invigilator Ah Er looked at the students in the classroom without expression: "In five minutes, there will be an English test. If you need refreshing drinks, please help yourselves."
Su Qiangwei immediately ran out of the classroom and saw Ma Ran strolling in the small garden.
"You randomly wrote your answers, didn't you?"
"No."
"I don't believe you. I want to test you."
"ACBBD, DDAAA, CABBC, DDDDA."
"???"
"Those are the correct answers for the first twenty multiple-choice questions. If you remember your choices, I can recite all one hundred and fifty multiple-choice answers for your reference."
Ma Ran calmly replied, "You can ask me if there's a question you don't understand."
Checking answers can be quite unnerving.
Just look at Su Qiangwei's reaction and you'll see.
Ma Ran's kind response left her leaning against a nearby sycamore tree, taking a while to catch her breath.
"With such tight time constraints, who would be bored enough to remember such things!"
"Trying to trick me? Make me underperform? Impossible!"
After saying this, Su Qiangwei ran back to the classroom in a huff and gulped down a whole bottle of Coke.
"You've already lost."
Through the window, Ma Ran's gaze fell on the side of Su Qiangwei's face: "This spot is a crucial part of my plan, and I won't let anyone take it."
As a Reincarnator and a former participant of this exam, Ma Ran had a vivid memory of many questions.
Upon realizing the exam's significance, Ma Ran intentionally used his privileges to access sealed records.
From beginning to end, he meticulously went over all of the exam questions and answers.
After obtaining the [Scholar God] medal through the act of playing a role, Ma Ran only needed to retrieve each question and reference answer from his dormant memory to ensure a perfect score.
Stand out like a lone tree in a forest, and the wind will surely break it?
That's because the tree isn't strong enough.
"Wise One Ma Ran" shines publicly, his fame spreads across the land.
"Role-Player Ma Ran" leads the era behind the scenes, tackling the impending crisis of civilization's extinction!
He wants it all!
