Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

The bell signaling the end of the third round of exams rang again.

Xu Tong, who had finished the test early, looked up, smiled at the two proctors in front of him.

"Now, you should believe I didn't cheat, right?"

Xu Tong pointed to his temple. "It's all real knowledge, do you understand?"

The two proctors exchanged glances, and finally collected Xu Tong's paper and pen, preparing to review the score.

But judging from Xu Tong's frantic writing, the answers were likely correct, after all, questions he couldn't answer at all couldn't be answered so quickly.

After the paper was taken away, Xu Tong walked out of the examination room.

This time, the number of disheartened candidates coming out of the examination room was significantly higher.

Especially among the players, the change in numbers was particularly obvious.

Because the questions had clearly begun to lean towards dungeon-related topics, even if they knew the answers to common sense questions, they couldn't possibly answer questions about dungeons they had never encountered.

Even Charles, who was previously confident enough to answer all the common sense questions, now showed a bit of a deflated expression.

"How did it go?"

Zhuang Jiasheng walked over from a distance and greeted Xu Tong.

"Not bad," Xu Tong answered perfunctorily, "Your expression doesn't seem to have changed much, did you do well?"

"Hahaha," Zhuang Jiasheng laughed and scratched his head, "Anyway, I can't understand the questions in each round of exams, how could my expression be any different?"

That's true...

Xu Tong looked at Pei Wenyu walking over with a blank expression, and tentatively asked, "How did you do?"

Pei Wenyu nodded. "It was okay, there were a few questions I recognized."

Pei Wenyu was confident that she could answer all the questions about Qingcheng Hospital correctly.

The scores for these questions added up to at least twenty or thirty points, plus those common sense questions, Pei Wenyu estimated her score to be around the passing mark of fifty or sixty points.

It shouldn't be too difficult to advance to the next round.

Walking out from the not-so-crowded crowd, Charles came to Xu Tong again and said what he had been preparing to say.

"Let me reintroduce myself, my previous identity seems like a redundant introduction to you," Charles adjusted his collar and said, "I achieved the top three in our class's rookie competition, you should know what that means, right?"

Xu Tong raised an eyebrow.

"Top three, is that very impressive?"

Zhuang Jiasheng pointed to Pei Wenyu and said, "Wasn't she third in your class?"

Xu Tong nodded. "Oh, I was first in my class, nice to not meet you."

Charles: "..."

Wait, buddy.

There are other experts?

And what do you mean by nice to not meet me? Is that how people in your country greet people they meet for the first time?

Before Charles could give any answer, the cushioning pad on the wall changed again.

Thud—

Just as everyone looked up, wanting to look at the bulletproof glass behind the cushioning pad.

At that moment, something seemed to fall out from the gap in the cushioning pad.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the thing that fell down, and upon closer inspection, they could see what it was.

It was actually a bone.

And it was clearly a human bone.

The entire white space fell silent.

After all, before this, the eliminated candidates had all disappeared after returning from the exam.

No one cared where the eliminated candidates went, they didn't care, they only cared about whether they could pass the exam in front of them, whether they could be the one who wasn't eliminated.

But now, a piece of white bone was presented in front of them.

This couldn't help but make everyone, especially the players, begin to suspect what exactly happened in this white space when everyone went to take the exam.

At that moment!

«Main Quest Triggered: Pass the Fifth Round of Exams»

The players finally realized something was wrong.

This dungeon had progressed to the end of the third round of exams, and the main quest was only just triggered now?

When they first entered the dungeon, because of the existence of the dungeon introduction and the words of the question setters, everyone had once forgotten that the main quest hadn't been triggered, mistakenly believing that passing five rounds of exams would complete the dungeon.

Now that a group of players had triggered the main quest, they remembered.

In the previous three rounds, they were actually being pushed along, not even knowing what their purpose was!

From the moment they discovered this bone, the main storyline of this dungeon truly began!

Just as the players were exclaiming about their recent discovery, Xu Tong didn't speak.

Because he had also received some different information.

«Side Quest Triggered: Obtain full marks in all five rounds of exams to gain the qualification to "Touch the Truth" (2/5)»

This...

Xu Tong's gaze briefly swept over this line of side quests.

The two numbers behind should refer to the fact that I have already obtained full marks in the first two rounds of exams.

In that case, as long as I continue to get full marks in the remaining three rounds, I can complete this side quest.

Just as the cushioning pad fully unfolded, and the question setters in white coats walked into everyone's sight.

The side quest within Xu Tong's sight quietly underwent a change.

«Side Quest Triggered: Obtain full marks in all five rounds of exams to gain the qualification to "Touch the Truth" (3/5)»

"It seems that I also got full marks in the third round, so I must get full marks in the next two rounds? This side quest is too harsh, it's a good thing it's me, it really wouldn't work for someone else."

Xu Tong muttered softly in his heart, then looked in Charles' direction.

Judging from Charles' expression, this guy probably didn't trigger the side quest, so it seems that among all the candidates, only I have achieved a full score in the first three rounds.

"The side quest can only be completed by me? Alright."

Behind the bulletproof glass, the question setters had already begun to read out the names of the candidates who passed the third round of exams.

Pei Wenyu, Charles, and even Zhuang Jiasheng's names appeared in the question setters' mouths.

Among them, there were still a huge number of players, and the number of ordinary NPCs decreased significantly with the increase in dungeon-related questions.

But, a strange thing happened.

Until the question setters finished reading all the names of the candidates who passed the three rounds of exams, and put down the list in their hands.

Xu Tong's name didn't appear.

Even Xu Tong himself was stunned for a second.

I also got full marks in the third round.

And you eliminated me?

Even Charles was stunned, thinking: "Could it be that I misjudged again? Is this Xu Tong not the guy who got better grades than me?"

After the question setters put down the list in their hands, they then picked up another list.

"Student ID, 179147385147, candidate Xu Tong."

The question setter's gaze fell on Xu Tong, and then asked a question that no one present had expected.

"How did you cheat?"

Xu Tong:?

All candidates:???
