Chapter 1308 Employment Examination, Full Marks First Place! The Constellation Academy’s school ground was very large, but there were no darkness buildings like the darkness illusion dojo here. They were just ordinary buildings, ones that would be fine even if they were to collapse. Even though Sun Mo had only taken a brief look around, he could still tell that the production capabilities were extremely low. The staple food here was meat and grains. The former was obtained through hunting and animal farming. After all, the Darkness Continent had no lack of primitive forests. As for the latter, they were from crop cultivation. However, they didn’t taste good. This meant that the people here were still at the elementary phase in which they were thinking of ways to fill up their stomachs. They couldn’t afford to be particular about whether something tasted good or not. There was white rice too, but it was very expensive and could only be purchased with spirit stones or contribution points. Speaking of contribution points, the Constellation Academy had a big hall in which missions would be posted regularly. If the senior students could complete them, they’d be able to obtain varying numbers of contribution points. But most of the time, people wouldn’t spend points on eating white rice. They’d use the points to exchange for weapons, spirit runes, alchemical pills, or other things. They would do whatever they could to raise their battle prowess. Right now, Sun Mo was observing the people who came to seek employment. He realized that they were very satisfied with the standard of life here. Some of them even wore envious expressions, swearing that they’d definitely stay behind. This made Sun Mo feel very complicated. If it wasn’t because of the Saint Gate’s rule of killing all darkness seeds, the descendants of those exiled people would definitely think of all possible ways to return to the Nine Provinces. “Is this a life fitting for humans?” Right now, Sun Mo was having his lunch at the canteen. Although some sugar had been added into the cakes made from coarse grains, for some reason they tasted really bad. However, many people who were seeking employment kept stuffing the cakes into their stomachs. “Teacher, why aren’t you eating? Do you not have any appetite?” Li Luoran looked at the sugar cake in Sun Mo’s hand and gulped. This food was limited, and it was impossible to ask for more even if they wished to. “If you don’t mind, you can have it!” Sun Mo handed the sugar cake to Li Luoran. He reckoned that this was a benefit given by the school in order to stimulate the potential job-seekers to do their best. It was because many junior students kept looking over. “This is Teacher’s share!” Li Luoran felt bad about taking it. “If you aren’t eating it, give it to me!” Zhang Xiang reached his hand out for it. Pa! Li Luoran grabbed Zhang Xiang’s fingers and pulled hard. “Ahhh, it’s going to break! It’s going to break!” Zhang Xiang cried out loud. “Haven’t you guys thought of secretly sneaking back to the Nine Provinces?” Sun Mo felt curious. He couldn’t imagine living a life like this. “I have, but they said that if one was caught, they’d be executed by being given a thousand cuts! Do you know what that means? It means that you’ll have the meat on your body sliced off piece by piece!” Zhang Xiang tried to scare Sun Mo. “I have, but we don’t know anything. How can we make a living in the Nine Provinces?” Lu Guojing sighed. In his opinion, if he were to go to the Nine Provinces, he’d just be living a lowly life, and that wouldn’t be any different from staying here. But at the very least, he wouldn’t have to worry about getting killed here. As there were still eight days before the great teacher examination, everyone settled down outside the canyon temporarily. As a benefit of a ‘job-seeker’, the school allowed these people to browse the books in the library. Many people ran there to do some last-minute work, hoping to raise the chances of their success. Sun Mo admired this famous school’s headmaster. He must know that the chances of these job-seekers failing would be very high, but he still gave them the chance to study. This was so that they could gain more capabilities and expand their horizons. “Teacher, why aren’t you going to the library to read?” Li Luoran still didn’t have enough. If it wasn’t because the school didn’t allow it, she’d want to live there. “That’s boring!” Sun Mo had gone to take a look, and the books contained all the things that he already knew. “Given Sun Mo’s talent, he will definitely be able to become a teacher!” Zhang Xiang flattered him and then brought over a book to ask some questions about botany. (You can’t even handle simple external wounds, yet you want to take the test for this subject?) However, Sun Mo was still patient and answered all the questions he was asked. Li Luoran’s father was an amazing hunter who had explored many darkness ruins. Therefore, Li Luoran inherited his studies and knowledge, focusing on archeology. For this subject, Sun Mo had been giving her additional classes these few days. “You learn quite fast, but it still isn’t enough!” Teaching verbally was too slow. “Then what should I do?” Li Luoran also knew that things wouldn’t work if this continued. “Close your eyes!” Sun Mo instructed. “Oh!” Li Luoran didn’t dare disobey Sun Mo, but after closing her eyes, she started feeling nervous again. (There are only two of us in the room. What is Teacher going to do to me?) (Should I abide? Or should I abide?) (Oh my, I haven’t taken a bath for three days.) Amidst Li Luoran’s wandering thoughts, she suddenly noticed an overwhelming amount of knowledge surging into her brain, causing her head to feel a little painful. (Ouch ouch ouch!) (Stop it! It’s full! It’s full!) Li Luoran hugged her head with both hands. At this moment, knowledge that she had never seen before left her at a loss. “Don’t panic. Remember these things while they are still clear in your mind!” Sun Mo instructed. After six hours, Li Luoran heaved a sigh of relief. After that, her body subconsciously tilted over, and she felt as if all the energy from her body was drawn away. It was extremely tiring. Pa! Sun Mo supported Li Luoran. “What… what happened?” Li Luoran looked at Sun Mo excitedly. She felt that she had grown and learned a lot. “I used a great teacher halo to inject some archeology knowledge into your mind.” Sun Mo explained. “Wow!” Li Luoran gasped in surprise, her gaze filled with admiration. She then looked hesitant to speak, looking a little awkward. Sun Mo knew what she was thinking when he saw her expression. “You want to ask me to help Lu Guojing and Zhang Xiang as well, right?” “Can you?” Li Luoran pressed her palms together and looked at Sun Mo anxiously as if she was begging a god. “Although I can pour the knowledge into people’s minds and save them learning time, how much the individual can grasp ultimately depends on their own effort.” Sun Mo reminded her. To put it bluntly, learning ultimately depended on talent. Li Luoran knew that Sun Mo had given his approval after hearing him say this. Therefore, she quickly ran out to pull Lu Guojing and Zhang Xiang here, getting them to kowtow to Sun Mo. “Why should I?” Zhang Xiang was displeased. “You want to be a teacher given your standard in botany? Are you dreaming?” Li Luoran said in disdain. “Uhh!” Zhang Xiang’s expression turned grim. After the past few days of the visit, they already knew that even if they studied for another ten years, they might not be able to be a teacher in this place. It seemed that kowtowing to Sun Mo wasn’t something unbearable if it was for the sake of a bright prospect! Lu Guojing seemed to be accepting this. After that, when a tremendous amount of blade arts and experience gushed into his brain, he was stunned. “Are you a blade saint?” Any random blade art from Sun Mo was already more amazing than his. “It’s because you’ve seen too little!” The cultivation arts Sun Mo had given him were all average-grade heaven-tiers. There were no high-end ones. Meanwhile, what Zhang Xiang obtained was botany knowledge. After a minute, he took the initiative to kneel in front of Sun Mo, addressing him as Teacher and thanking him for the great gift. Finally, it was time for the examination. There were a total of two examinations, a written examination and an interview. “After getting a number, just go to the respective examination venue based on what you want to be tested for.” The assistant examiner kept repeating it to remind them. With no surprise, Sun Mo picked the study of spirit runes. He realized that even if a person wasn’t good in any subjects and only knew combat, they could also come for the examination. The most number of job-seekers came for this category. “Teacher, I’ll be going!” After bowing to Sun Mo, Li Luoran ran off. After that, Sun Mo walked around the teaching building and found the examination hall. When he entered, he realized that there were only 12 people here. It was really a pitiful number. 15 minutes later, the examination started, but there were only 32 people. Moreover, when these examinees received the paper, they scratched their heads and looked like they were thinking very hard. It seemed that they had no hopes of passing. “Don’t be looking around.” The examiner reproached. He was talking to Sun Mo. Sun Mo shrugged and started answering the questions. Half an hour later, he raised his hand. “What is it?” The examiner frowned. “I want to hand in my paper!” Sun Mo said very simply. The examiner instantly looked displeased. (How many questions can you answer in half an hour? Putting aside whether you know the answers to the questions, your attitude isn’t right.) “How many days of lunch have you eaten in school?” The examiner asked. “Over a week!” Sun Mo didn’t understand. “Every single grain of food in the school is very precious. Moreover, the school also knows that many of you won’t pass, but we still let you guys eat. The reason is because we want to let you guys know that school is the place to change one’s fate. But to think that you’re insulting this opportunity, sigh!” The examiner reproached. He had always felt that this school’s measure was too stupid. Because of it, many people like Sun Mo had come to eat and drink without doing anything in return. At this moment, all the examinees secretly looked at Sun Mo, gloating. However, Sun Mo was an 8-stars great teacher after all and couldn’t possibly get angry with an examiner like this. As he couldn’t be bothered to argue either, he only said one thing, “You’re mistaken. I’m submitting the paper because I can guarantee that I’ll get full marks.” “Are you kidding?” Before the examiner said anything, an examinee couldn’t help but lash out. (Please, this paper is very difficult. There are a few questions that I don’t even understand, but you’re telling me that you can get full marks for the paper?) The examiner was a great teacher who majored in the study of spirit runes. Hence, upon hearing this, his countenance changed. He quickly walked up to Sun Mo and picked up his paper, reading it at a quick speed. The more he looked, the more surprised his expression was. He then kept on sizing up Sun Mo. “What’s your name?” “Sun Mo!” “Are you a first-generation exiled individual?” In the examiner’s opinion, a person with such amazing professional conduct must be from a learned family of the Nine Provinces. “Uhh!” Sun Mo didn’t know how he should reply. “What crime did you commit in the past?” The examiner frowned. First-generation exiled people were usually talented but immoral and had bad characters. At the same time, they were overconfident of themselves and looked down on others. Usually, having committed a grave sin because of the bit of talent they had, they were exiled to the Darkness Continent. “I didn’t commit any crime.” Sun Mo felt helpless. “Ha! That’s what everyone said!” An examinee sneered. “Shut up!” The examiner scolded and then hesitated before instructing the assistant examiner, “You stay to invigilate! I’ll go look for the headmaster!” “Huh?” The assistant examiner panicked. (This burden is too heavy for me to carry.) “What ‘huh’? Don’t worry, these examinees are practically going to fail!” The examiner encouraged him. He didn’t have to look at the paper and only had to see these people’s expressions to know their standards. Newbies. The examinees felt like cursing. “You, come with me!” The examiner brought Sun Mo to the headmaster’s office. However, Sun Mo wasn’t able to enter. Three minutes later, the examiner came out. “You’re very outstanding!” The examiner’s countenance was very solemn. “As long as you pass the interview, you’ll be a teacher here. Therefore, I’m warning you, no matter what bad deeds you’ve done in the past, you must be a good person here!” During the examination period, the school forbade anyone from lingering in the school. Therefore, Sun Mo could only wait outside the school. At noon, Li Luoran and the other two came out. “How was it?” Zhang Xiang asked. Pa! Li Luoran slapped the back of Zhang Xiang’s head. “Do you have a hole in your head? Teacher must have passed!” “Teacher, I plan on taking the architecture exam in the afternoon. Do you have knowledge of this area?” Lu Guojing pleaded. “Teacher, I want to add on an archery subject!” Li Luoran wanted double insurance. “Yes, but I won’t give them to you!” Sun Mo refused. “Even if you guys manage to pass the examinations through such means, what will you do in the future? If I were to help you, it’d be irresponsible to those students.” Li Luoran and the other two were very disappointed, but they still went on with the examinations. After all, taking one more examination meant that they’d have one more chance. However, this would require them to pay some fees because the school wasn’t silly. Two days later, the school announced the names of the examinees who had passed. Li Luoran woke Sun Mo early in the morning, wanting to drag him along to check the results. “Not interested!” Sun Mo didn’t wish to squeeze with the others and continued meditating. (Hmph, we’ll see if you’d feel embarrassed if you couldn’t pass!) Zhang Xiang thought in contempt. However, he was disappointed. Sun Mo’s name was ranked in first place on the red board. Li Luoran wasn’t surprised. Now, she started to search from the last rank and progressed forward. However, she didn’t see her name. This caused her eyes to be filled with tears and she sank into despair. She knew her own standards. If her name wasn’t at the back, then it’d be impossible for it to be at the front. Just as she was hugging her head and crying in despair, Lu Guojing suddenly called out. “Luoran, I saw your name!” “Huh?” Lu Guojing looked in the direction of Lu Guojing’s finger. When she realized that her name was ranked 56th, she cried. (I’m thankful to Teacher. Without him, I won’t be able to obtain such proud results.) On this day, some people were glad and some were sad. “Don’t be in a hurry to feel happy. There’s still the interview!” Sun Mo reminded them. Zhang Xiang and Lu Guojing failed, but the two of them planned on enrolling as students to learn something. But given their age, they had to pay more school fees than younger people. The Constellation Academy’s work efficiency was very high, so the interview was one day later. While other people were waiting, feeling anxious and unsettled, Sun Mo was very calm. This made many people who were paying attention to him break into admiring gazes. As expected of the person who was in first place this year, he was very steady. “Teacher, the interview is really easy!” Li Luoran came out and immediately reported to Sun Mo. About half an hour or so later, it was Sun Mo’s turn. After knocking on the door, he entered the office. There were a total of five interviewers. Although the one in the middle should be the most important character, Sun Mo’s gaze couldn’t help but land on the middle-aged man on the extreme right. The other party was also assessing Sun Mo. “Hmm?” Sun Mo was puzzled. Why did this guy look a little familiar? “Sun Mo, are you married or engaged to someone?” The middle-aged female great teacher was the first to speak up. Swoosh! All the examiners looked over, looking stunned. (What are you up to?) “I’m engaged!” After saying that, Sun Mo suddenly wondered when he’d be able to have the wedding. “Tsk!” The middle-aged female great teacher pouted, looking displeased. “Cough cough!” The major character who sat in the middle let out two coughs and started the interview. “Sun Mo, there’s no personal teacher-disciple relationship here like there is in the Nine Provinces. Are you willing to teach others everything you know?”
