A week later.

seven in the morning.

The freshmen filled their stomachs in the dining hall, holding books or their own notebooks. As they walked towards their dormitories, they seized the last time before the exam and memorized knowledge points that were difficult to fully master.

Xia Zuo sent the anxious Anruer into the corridor of the girls' dormitory, avoiding the sight of everyone, and walked into the passage of the poison alchemy area.

Kulov had arranged the small classroom in advance, and this is where the exam will be held today.

The original rows of seats were stored in the storage room.

Only a pair of desks and chairs were left in the center of the small classroom.

One meter in front of the desk, six fist-sized glass balls were suspended, emitting a weak white light from them.

The scrying technique reported that inside these glass balls were the professors’ surveillance guards.

Each glass ball corresponds to a professor.

Other students were randomly proctored by a professor.

Xia Zuo enjoyed six times the salary and was invigilated by six professors.

After saluting the six glass balls, he calmly sat down behind the desk and waited quietly for the exam to begin.

The clock on the wall reads 8 am.

A wooden box flew out of the podium and landed smoothly on the desk.

Xia Zuo followed the exam instructions given by Beatrice, the head of the school, in yesterday morning's class. After repeatedly confirming that the surface of the wooden box was intact, he gently pushed the lock on the side of the box.

"Click"

There was a crisp unlocking sound, the cover of the wooden box was opened, and the test paper and the pen for the examination were lying inside.

On the wooden board inside the cover, there are rows of grass specimens of different styles.

They are wrapped with glass slides or clear liquid glue.

It not only allows candidates to view the specimens clearly, but also prevents specimens from scattering.

The second examination item mentioned by Beatrice, the head of the hospital, is to check whether these specimens are damaged.

They are prepared for word problems. This is the second benefit provided by the school to help freshmen pass the exam.

Xia Zuo glanced at the specimen the size of his little finger and threw out the detection technique.

Very good~

All with clear and clear feedback.

It seems that today's herbal medicine course exam is not difficult.

Pick up the pen, write your name on the cover of the test paper, turn to the first page and look at the first question.

He wrote down the answers fluently, and finished the 200 multiple-choice questions only 20 minutes after the exam started.

On average, each multiple-choice question only took about 6 seconds.

If he hadn't deliberately held back his points, it would only take three seconds at most to solve a multiple-choice question.

These multiple-choice questions, whether single-choice or multiple-choice, basically test one or several knowledge points. Just follow the information in the [Knowledge Reserve] and use your brain to write down the answers.

It's a little difficult to get to the application question stage.

The corresponding textbooks for herbal medicine are "Illustration of Magic Grass", "Guide to Picking Magic Grass" and "Pretreatment of Magic Grass".

Although this test paper tests "Pictures of Magic Grass", its application questions will involve these three books at the same time, but the focus will be different, focusing more on testing students' familiarity with magic grass.

Facing the first question at the beginning, Xia Zuo thought for ten seconds after reading the question before deciding on the solution.

【Application question】

【Question 1】

[It rained in the forest last night.

[In the early hours of this morning, you are going to pick ghost mushrooms from the tree trunks in this forest. There are a total of 11 small mushrooms, 6 medium mushrooms and 2 large mushrooms.

[How to preprocess to maximize the retention of these ghost mushrooms? 】

Ghost mushrooms grow rapidly in dark, moist environments.

The so-called picking of ghost mushrooms actually means picking off their caps, which have spotted patterns and emit a faint blue light.

When fully mature, the caps of ghost mushrooms turn a transparent blue, hence their name.

The stipe connected to the cap is firmly embedded in the trunk and cannot be picked together, let alone cut with scissors.

Because its stipe is full of light blue liquid.

Once the stipe is damaged, the liquid inside will quickly drain away, leaving only the soft skin attached to the trunk.

The mycelium of the ghost mushroom is hidden deep in the trunk of the tree, just like the root system of the tree is buried deep in the soil.

It can be seen that transplanting this kind of mushroom is relatively difficult.

It is better to write down the place where it appears, remove the cap, and keep the stipe and hyphae for picking next time.

After the cap of the ghost mushroom leaves the stipe, water will continue to leak from the gills. In a maximum of two seconds, the entire cap will shrivel and wither.

The stronger the light and the higher the temperature, the faster water will leak out.

at the same time.

The rate of water leakage will increase exponentially with the number, width and length of the gills.

Therefore, large mushrooms with the largest number of gills are not worth picking.

Maybe as soon as it was picked off, its gills started spraying water, and within half a second, only the wet, soft skin was left.

The little ghost mushrooms are the slowest in sipping water. Just put them in an opaque potion bottle.

As for the 6 medium ghost mushrooms...it all depends on fate. If you are quick, you can save 3 to 5 flowers.

Xia Zuo made a mental draft and wrote down the answer in concise sentences, including all the key points.

In the following time, every time I did a word question, I thought about it repeatedly before answering.

About 2 hours after the exam starts.

He put down the pen, exhaled slowly, checked all the questions carefully, put them back into the wooden box after confirming they were correct, and closed the lid of the box and locked it.

The wooden box flew back to the podium, and another wooden box flew out.

This time it is a test paper for "Gigantology".

With the experience of Professor Merben Riley Jr., the application problems of macrophysics are no longer confusing.

To be cautious, Xia Zuo used a cardboard model in a wooden box and simulated the operations mentioned in the question before finally writing down the answer.

12 o'clock noon.

Lunch is served in the small classroom.

A satiety potion floated from the podium. The potion bottle contains amber gel.

Xia Zuo read the instructions on the medicine bottle, then uncorked the bottle, poured the gel into his mouth with his mouth wide open, and let the gel slide from his throat into his stomach without chewing or swallowing.

The message from Goldfinger came to my mind:

"Successfully taking the satiety potion will give you the satiety effect, which lasts for 168 hours. During the duration of the effect, you will gain 0.05 experience points every hour."

Tsk tsk tsk.

He looked at the potion bottle in his hand and felt that he was still unsatisfied.

If you don't feel hungry for 7 days, you will get 1.2 experience points every day. If you rely on satiety potion to satisfy your hunger for a year, you will get a few hundred experience points every year.

This is similar to being on-hook to get experience. It can be called fully automatic leveling.

I wonder if there are any similar potions in potion alchemy...

Thinking of this, Xia Zuo decided not to take a lunch break.

After he went to solve the domestic demand problem, he sat back in the small classroom and said to the six glass balls that he wanted to continue taking the exam.

The third wooden box flew out of the podium. Two hours later, the third wooden box flew back, and the fourth wooden box flew out...

It wasn't until 7 o'clock in the evening that Xia Zuo waved his hand towards the five glass balls, indicating that he was too tired and in poor exam condition and needed a night's rest.

I walked into the castle hall and walked around the restaurant. I didn't see Anruer. She must be in the dormitory.

Xia Zuo returned to his dormitory, read "Kit Kat Object Concept Illustration" for a while, and then went to bed early.

Noon 4 days later.

A small classroom in the poison alchemy area.

Xia Zuo put down his pen under the gaze of six glass balls.

The nearly 5-day final exam has ended. Complete all course exams 20 days earlier than other freshmen.

The price is calluses on the knuckles of the right hand and index finger, and a dull soreness in the wrist and lower back...

These are all worth it.

Xia Zuo nodded with a smile, packed up the wooden box, walked out of the small classroom and came to the alchemy room.

Kulov lay on the soft sofa, closed his eyes and said:

"There is a book box on the desk. There are some teaching materials in it. Take it back and read it. You can make your own arrangements for the next 20 days."

"Yes, Professor."

Xia Zuo smiled even more, picked up the slightly heavy book box and walked out with a smile.

The instructor did not disclose how he did in the exam, but he directly asked him to take away the textbooks. The deeper meaning is self-evident.

The effect of the satiety potion remains for about 2 days.

While the medicine is taking effect, I can eat, but I always feel like I have no appetite.

He planned to wait for the satiety effect to end and then go to the restaurant to have a good meal. Since other freshmen were still taking exams, the entire restaurant was booked.

It’s really rare that you don’t have to compete with others for a seat.

The scenery inside the school is so beautiful that life in the next 20 days will be like a vacation.

However, he won't slack off.

Even without the supervision of a tutor, I will still read diligently under the encouragement of a golden finger.

The days are spent in a peaceful reading atmosphere.

Except for meeting Anruer and chatting at the restaurant every morning and 6 p.m., I spent the rest of the time memorizing knowledge from books.

20 days later.

【Level】LV.11+1→LV.12

【Experience】270/1600

【Spirit】9.2+1.8→11

[Free attribute points] 3+2→5

There are 5 textbooks in the book box given by Kulov.

Each textbook does not have much content, nor does it provide a lot of experience and spiritual attributes, but it is very refined and abstract, and requires specific alchemical operations to fully understand.

Xia Zuo hurriedly memorized them all before the exam ended.

Today is the long-awaited day - the head of the college will announce the exam results.

7am.

In the silent classroom, students sat upright in their seats.

Most people looked lonely.

The exam experience of more than 20 days in the past, which was intensive and stressful, made them clearly realize that they were not meant to learn alchemy.

Failing the exam is inevitable. You may even fail to pass the make-up exam and retake the exam.

A small number of people looked nervous, but there was no look of loss.

An Ru'er beside me is among them.

There are 25 exams, and each test paper has been answered completely, but there are always some uncertainties.

She rubbed her hands on the table, her fingers intertwined, and her thighs swayed restlessly under the table.

Xia Zuo patted her back lightly, but it only made the noisy emotions in the other person's heart calm down for a short while. After more than ten seconds, her body started to tremble slightly again.

croak croak croak

Crisp footsteps came from outside the classroom.

Beatrice, the head of the hospital, walked to the podium and stood still.

At this time, the students no longer had time to admire her charming beauty and graceful figure. They all stared at her red lips, expecting to hear pleasant words from her.

"The way of the mage will accompany the elements."

Beatrice crossed her arms, glanced at the dignified faces of the students, and said calmly:

“It’s a dangerous path up the ladder.

“Our school of alchemy is the safest, has the lowest threshold, and has the most generous treatment among the four mages’ paths.

“Even if you leave here, you will still enjoy the care of Starry Night Academy.

"Students who failed to pass this round of exams, I hope you will not be discouraged. The school has arranged make-up exams and retakes for you.

"If you still fail to pass the reconstruction, don't lose confidence in the future. Because the knowledge you have learned in the past few months is enough to find a good job in the kingdom.

"The length of study here will also be converted into Warrior Guild points. After leaving the school, you can use these points to exchange for Warrior Guild rewards."

The words of the head of the school made many students who were worried about failure in the exam put aside most of their worries.

Xia Zuo had long known his test scores from Kulov, so he seemed particularly calm among everyone. It was just that the people around him were so distracted by their thoughts that they didn't notice anything strange about him.

Beatrice snapped her fingers and summoned the silver sand from the invisible.

The silvery sand condensed into a list above the podium.

[1st place: Poison Alchemy Subject, Xia Zuo, total score: 25,000 points

[2nd place: Elemental Concrete Subject, Fein, total score: 24888 points

[3rd place: Kit Kat Object Subject, Lucas, total score: 24210 points

[6th place: Oil Alchemy Discipline, Anruer, total score: 23750 points]

The silver sand stopped changing and the list was condensed.

Xia Zuo remembered that Mars once said that the passing score for the exam was 950 points. If calculated based on the total score of 25 exams, the total passing score would be 23,750 points.

An Ruer just crossed the line and passed, ranking 6th.

If the passing line is drawn based on the total score, it is actually a bit loose, and candidates with partial subjects are allowed to pass by default.

"A total of the above 6 students passed this round of exams."

Beatrice successfully caused a storm in the classroom.

"What!? Only 6 people passed the exam!"

"Hey, is the passing mark 23,750 points? I wonder how far behind I am..."

"Wow... you're so strict... If I had known earlier, I should have read more books..."

"It's over, it's over, it's all over, I have to go home and dig the roots..."

"Someone actually got perfect scores!"

Xia Zuo noticed that many classmates looked over. He looked at them with a calm smile on his face.

"I passed the exam~ I passed the exam~"

Anru'er twisted her body excitedly, hugged Xia Zuo's arm with both hands, and shook it excitedly a few times. Her face was full of joy, and she turned sideways and opened her arms to hug him.

Xia Zuo quickly stopped her and winked at the podium and the surroundings, "So many people are watching."

"Oh oh oh" An Ru'er lowered her head, her face flushed, and she held Xia Zuo's hand under the table and squeezed it repeatedly.

Seeing the two of them playing around, the students around them had complicated and subtle emotions.

The final exam was extremely difficult, but 6 people still passed it, and 1 person got full marks. This person also has a partner...

Beatrice clapped her hands, attracted the students' attention, and announced loudly:

"The make-up exam will be held in one month. The tutor will tell you which subjects you need to take the make-up exam. Students who want to take the make-up exam should arrange their own schedule for this month. After two months, the next freshmen will arrive at the school. There will be no make-up exams. Those who pass will retake it with them.

"The six students who passed this round of exams started studying the next stage of the course this morning."

Beatrice repeated a few words she had said before announcing the results to ensure that the students did not have extreme emotions before announcing the disbandment.

Anru'er pulled Xia Zuo, jumped out of the classroom, and trotted all the way to the lake outside the castle.

The sun shines on the ripples of the lake, and the breeze stirs up the sparkling water.

The two figures merged together.

"Thanks to you, I passed the exam."

Anruer pressed it tightly against her chest, listening to the heartbeat in her ears, and smiled happily.

Several months have passed since the two met. Xia Zuo never responded to the other party's body language.

Now

He hesitated for a moment, stretched out his right arm to hug her back, and caressed her shoulder with his right hand, "Don't let up later. If you have any difficulties, tell me in time."

"Um"

Anru'er nuzzled her in her arms like a baby, intoxicated in the time they spent together.
