Chapter 27: Second Mock Exam Begins, Stray Dog

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On Monday, Li Chengqian and Ding Ling arrived at school early.

Because of the incident in Peach Blossom Valley, Jian Qingli seemed to be avoiding them on purpose. In the end, she did not go to school with them.

“Li Chengqian, what did Chef Huang whisper to you yesterday?” Ding Ling asked curiously.

Yesterday, Huang Daliang pulled Li Chengqian aside and muttered in his ears for more than ten minutes. In the end, Huang Daliang left with a smile on his face.

“It’s nothing. He just told me to call him immediately if I find white truffles in the future.” Li Chengqian smiled. He wasn’t lying to Ding Ling, he simply didn’t tell her the whole truth.

“Oh, I see! Actually, Chef Huang’s dishes are quite delicious. If there’s a chance in the future, I must go to his restaurant to eat.” Ding Ling recalled the barbecue was still relishing the taste.

Especially the white truffles. They didn’t smell good, but they tasted delicious.

However, Ding Ling did not mention the white truffles because Huang Daliang had already given them the price of white truffles once.

Li Chengqian was lucky to have found them once in the mountains, but he might not be able to find them a second time. If she talked about it, Li Chengqian would surely feel immense pressure.

“Chef Huang also told me that if I want to eat, I can call him any time. After the exams in the next few days, I’ll bring you to his restaurant for a meal.” Li Chengqian was all smiles.

“Forget it, I’m just saying. After I went home, I checked and found that Chef Huang’s Tianyi Daliang Restaurant is the best restaurant in Tianyi City. It’s also especially expensive. On average, it costs 300 yuan per head!” Ding Ling shook her head.

Then, she changed the topic again and talked about the second mock exam.

“Li Chengqian, how are your preparations for this exam?” Ding Ling’s eyes were filled with worry. After all, Li Chengqian’s previous results weren’t good.

“No problem! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely give all of you a surprise.” Li Chengqian smiled confidently. His Student profession was already at level 9. His elementary, junior high, and senior high school skills had already reached Master level.

A mere mock exam was nothing to worry about.

“Alright, I’ll wait for your surprise. Work hard for the exam. Don’t be assigned to the Progressive class!”

As the second mock exam was a joint examination for the entire province, the school attached great importance to it. The exam was basically held in accordance with the requirements of the university entrance examination.

After parting ways with Ding Ling, Li Chengqian found the examination hall and sat down according to the seating plan.

When he came in, he deliberately looked around. Other than the people from his class, there were also people from other classes in this examination hall.

Liu Daqiang, Jian Qingli, and Bi Jialiang were all in this examination hall.

Looking at the experience value points in the Experience Pool, he only had 1,032 experience value points.

During the Saturday holiday, the remaining experience value points was 312 points. He obtained 200 experience value points through reading, and 520 experience value points through Planting skill.

For the Farmer profession, experience value points were obtained through planting.

He can obtain 10 experience value points for every unit of wasteland he reclaimed, and 10 experience value points for every unit of plant he planted.

Every time he harvested, he could obtain a different amount of experience value points depending on the plant.

For example, 100 experience value points could be obtained from planting and harvesting high grade ingredients like ginseng.

However, because he was afraid of being discovered, he didn’t dare to use the power of the Farmer profession on a large scale.

Li Chengqian frowned and thought to himself, “Without a teacher to teach, the experience value points I get every day in school is pitifully little.”

“Looks like I have to think of a way to go to the suburbs and use the skills of the Farmer profession to farm a whole bunch of experience value points.”

His main goal in taking on the Farmer profession was to increase his Strength Stats. He had already surpassed his goal now.

“For this exam, I’ll take a test at nine in the morning and another at two in the afternoon. I’m allowed to hand in my paper in 30 minutes. If I hand in my paper at 9:30, I’ll have five and a half hours in between.” The more he thought about it, the more Li Chengqian felt that this plan was feasible.

In his previous life, in the Master of All Professions game, what restricted farmers from farming experience value points quickly was that seeds were especially rare and expensive.

In reality, this problem did not exist at all. If he used 100 yuan to buy ordinary seeds, it was enough for Li Chengqian to use.

The only problem was that he was afraid of being discovered.

Liu Daqiang noticed Li Chengqian frowning in deep thought and he started imagining things.

“Hey, Li Chengqian, aren’t you very capable? You haven’t even started the exam and you’re already frowning? You’re worried that you won’t be able to do the questions later, right?” After being rebuked by Li Chengqian once, Liu Daqiang had been waiting for an opportunity to ridicule Li Chengqian thoroughly, to the extent that he had no comeback.

When the results of this exam are out, he would let Li Chengqian avoid him like the plague.

Liu Daqiang wasn’t the only one laughing. Jian Qingli was laughing too, and so was Bi Jialiang.

All of them were waiting to see Li Chengqian’s exam results, and then wait for Li Chengqian to be assigned to the Progressive class.

The first subject was Chinese. The invigilation arrangement was the same as the university entrance examination. There were two invigilators, one in front and one behind.

After the test paper was distributed, Li Chengqian filled in his personal information, flipped through the test paper, and began to answer the questions.

“It’s so difficult! The questions for this provincial joint exam are even more difficult than the official university entrance examination!” Many students flipped through the test papers first and realized that the questions for this exam were much more difficult than usual.

Li Chengqian was anxious to go to the suburbs, thus he didn’t hold anything back amidst everyone’s bitter cries. He quickly filled in the answers to the questions one by one on the answer sheet.

These questions were too simple for him. There was no need to think at all. At a glance, the answers naturally came to him.

The only thing that took some time was the essay question. He thought about it for about a minute before starting to write. Then, the words simply flowed.

The answer sheet was clean and tidy. There were no typos or stains.

In his previous life, Li Chengqian’s handwriting wasn’t good. 𝐟𝓇eℯ𝒘𝙚𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷𝗲Ɩ. co𝓶

However, in this life, calligraphy was included in the skills of the Student profession.

After all the skills of his Student profession were upgraded to Master Level, his crooked writing became neat and tidy.

They were especially beautiful.

From the first question to the last question, Li Chengqian spent a total of 35 minutes, five minutes more than expected, and that was because the essay writing took a lot of time.

“Teacher, I want to hand in my paper!” After he finished writing, Li Chengqian raised his hand straightaway. He still needed to go to the suburbs.

...

The teacher on the podium looked at the time and realized that only 35 minutes had passed. He frowned.

“Alright, you may leave!”

Li Chengqian used the test paper to block the answer sheet and walked out of the classroom without hesitation.

When Li Chengqian raised his hand to hand in the paper, everyone in the classroom saw it.

“Brother, did you just give up?” For ordinary people, they couldn’t even finish answering the multiple-choice questions in 35 minutes. The only explanation for handing in the paper at this time was that he was giving up.

Jian Qingli shook her head.

She even felt that Li Chengqian was very pitiful, especially when he rushed out of the classroom in that manner. In her eyes, it was as if he was running away, like a stray dog.

“In the past, although his results were bad, he would persist until the end of the exam.”

“Now when he realized that he didn’t know how to answer the questions, he handed in the paper the minute he could do so and left!”

“Li Chengqian has given up!”

“His test results this time might be worse than the last.”

...

The smile on Liu Daqiang’s face became even brighter. “When the results are out, I’ll say what you said in front of everyone. Let’s see if you still have the cheek to remain in Tianyi High School.”

Bi Jialiang also shook his head. His opinion of Li Chengqian had dropped another level lower.

He discovered that ever since he obtained first place in the computing theory test, Li Chengqian had been proud and complacent, completely letting himself go. He no longer revised the questions for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. He even played games every day, did not study his textbooks, and did not take the exams seriously.

“Only now do I realize that Li Chengqian isn’t even a worthy opponent.”
