Chapter 260: The Exam
All the exams were conducted separately, with a few days in between for everyone to cram at the last minute. What everyone cared most about were the four required courses, because if you failed an elective, you could simply take another one, but failing a required course meant a makeup exam.
"System Analysis and Processing" was very simple for him; the assessment still involved watching videos of several criminals and then determining what their systems were based on their behavior.
To Xiang Beifei, such an assessment was like — taking an open-book test.
He didn't have to guess; the system interface was clearly displayed.
Even more accurate than the answer key!
Because the examiners might not even know precisely what systems the criminals had, they only provided a reference type, which was nonetheless quite close to the mark.
As for Ye Changfeng's "Simulation of Cultivated Domain —Desolate Wilderness," he had set up a very targeted environment in the simulation room, analogous to the situation in Cultivated Domain. The final assessment required finding a specific hidden desolate beast in these dangerous environments, killing it, and processing it into edible meat products.
Students were also required to eat the meat they had processed themselves!
Most desolate beasts were toxic, so to eat them, it was necessary to learn how to process their toxins.
Of course, Ye Changfeng wouldn't choose a desolate beast that would directly poison the students to death. He chose a Qi-Controlling mid-stage desolate beast with a multicolored face. If one didn't handle the toxins properly after killing it, eating it would result in multicolored spots on one's face.
After that, it was simple.
Ye Changfeng would take an automated scanner to measure; as long as the spots on the face were larger than two centimeters in diameter, points would be deducted!
The number of points deducted depended on the color: red would cost one point, while purple would cost seven points, and so forth. If the spot's diameter was longer than five centimeters, the points deducted would be doubled.
To get full marks, one's face couldn't have any spots.
So when his course's assessment ended, the expressions of the entire class were colorfully diverse.
The assessment was carried out collectively, with all the first-year students being assessed together. Most people were clumsy, and while processing the meat of the multicolored-face desolate beast, they did not clean the toxins thoroughly and emerged with large colorful patches on their faces.
Long Guocheng's entire nose had turned red, resembling a bulbous nose from excessive drinking, and there was a bruised patch under his left eye, making it appear as if he had been punched.
He looked rather annoyed, his usual cool image ruined in an instant.
"Young Master Long, that style looks really cool!" Ma Ziqian laughed unabashedly.
"Get lost!" Long Guocheng cursed fiercely.
Ma Ziqian only had a yellow spot and a purple spot on his face, the size of a fingernail, with a diameter no larger than two centimeters. This level of toxin wasn't too severe and was within acceptable limits.
He was feeling quite smug when Ye Changfeng, without even lifting his eyes, said, "Ma Ziqian, ten points off."
Ma Ziqian was dumbfounded on the spot.
"Teacher, the yellow spot was only 1.986 centimeters in diameter when scanned with the ruler just now!" Ma Ziqian argued, holding a mirror.
Ye Changfeng looked at him indifferently and said, "I personally took you to the special training in the outer domain of Cultivated Domain. You've learned more than the other students and still managed to get poisoned. Aren't you ashamed?"
Ma Ziqian immediately lost his spirits.
Long Guocheng sneered, "Serves you right!"
"You lose eighteen points," Ye Changfeng glanced at Long Guocheng.
Long Guocheng was stunned and said, "Eighteen points?"
He only had one red spot larger than five centimeters, but the red color was the lightest in terms of poisoning; even doubling it would only make it two points. Together with a green spot less than five centimeters in diameter, it would only add up to a deduction of five points, not eighteen.
"With such a large area, rounded up, it's triple deduction. Having enjoyed special training, you must adhere to special rules. Didn't you see the exam instructions?" Ye Changfeng pointed to the exam regulations. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire
It was written there: The final interpretation right of the exam rules belongs to the examiner, who can adjust the scoring rules according to the special circumstances of the students.
Long Guocheng was rendered speechless.
Both Xiang Beifei and Li Zimu dealt with the toxins perfectly; there were no spots on their faces. Meanwhile, Xi Keyao was squatting on the ground, covering her face, too ashamed to raise her head.
"Xiang Beifei, stay away, don't look at me! Don't look at me! Wuu wuu wuu! I'm disfigured!" Xi Keyao covered her face tightly, too embarrassed to show her face to anyone.
"It's alright, the toxin will disappear automatically in two hours. You haven't been scored yet," Xiang Beifei consoled.
Ma Ziqian came over and whispered, "Xi Keyao, don't you have healing abilities? You could have detoxified in secret, right?"
"Without Mr. Ye's cultivation level, I can't detoxify. He specially treated the toxins of the desolate beasts to prevent cheating," Li Zimu explained from the side.
Xi Keyao still covered her face, shaking her head desperately, "This is too embarrassing! This is too embarrassing!"
Ma Ziqian said seriously, "Xi Keyao, be brave. We're all professionally trained, what kind of storm haven't we seen? Show us just how disfigured you are."
Xi Keyao sadly said, "You guys won't laugh at me."
"We won't," said Ye Changfeng.
Xi Keyao hesitated for a long time before finally moving her hand away to reveal her face.
Everyone was shocked!
Xi Keyao had two huge black circles under her eyes, and her whole face was striped in swirls, just like a mosquito coil, with black lines spreading all the way up to the center of her forehead, where a red spot appeared, making it seem like a burning mosquito coil.
"Did you stamp a mosquito coil on your face?" Ma Ziqian was the first to burst into laughter.
The people around turned to look at Xi Keyao, and upon seeing this peculiar appearance, couldn't help but let out laughs.
