Chapter 35: New Examinee

Yu Yao said a lot of things later and everyone managed to gain some information from it.

She said that the examination contents are varied; it could be ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign.

Each exam would correspond with a particular subject. The knowledge being assessed may not be difficult and may even be very simple, but the system would always have a way to twist it so that it could kill you.

Different examination centres could accommodate different numbers of examinees so whether or not one could become teammates would depend on luck.

As a bug, Yu Yao was the only free examinee and she could freely choose her own exams.

That was why she was able to take the same physics exam as the bald man, and that was also why she was able to enter the same centre as You Huo and Yu Wen for foreign language.

She used her identity as a bug to help out her comrades, but she didn’t make it obvious.

For example, in Chars Village.

“Those ghost limbs have a special habit.” Yu Yao said.

If there are guests who have sewn dolls and guests who haven’t, they would give priority to those who have sewn them

After Yu Yao was resurrected by the black widow, she was considered as half belonging to Chars Village. As long as she was there, the ghost limbs would subconsciously ignore that place.

As such, on the first night of the exam, only Liang Yuan Hao and Chen Bin sewed the doll and only they separated from the group, so the ghost limbs naturally went after them.

As for the second night, the ghost limb should have gone to find Chen Bin first but at that time Chen Bin was with Yu Yao and the others so the ghost limb could only retreat and go find You Huo instead.

As for the third night.........You Huo himself sewed sixteen dolls, attracting all the hatred. Yu Yao conversely stayed with the others. With the ghost limbs having a clear goal, they all became frenzied.

Chen Bin now realised that he was able to narrowly escape from death not just once.

He thanked Yu Yao with gratitude and couldn’t help but ask: “Why didn’t you tell us this earlier?”

Yu Yao’s voice was soft. She said in a quiet voice: “I look like a pregnant woman. If I behave too strangely or reveal that I know too much, the first reaction from others would often be doubt and wariness. Rather than doing as I say, they would even regard me as an enemy.”

Everyone fell silent.

They tried to visualise it, and couldn’t refute.

“But you’re all special, really.” Yu Yao said earnestly: “Ever since we first met, all of you have always held good intentions. You would offer me allowance, call me sister, be punished in my stead and even lend me clothes to wear. I used to be constantly depressed and I felt like a lost soul wandering in and out of exams but now I would occasionally feel like I’m alive. I have to thank you all for that.”

“That’s why I decided to follow along to see if I could help even a little bit.” She pushed back her hair and added: “But that was just my wishful thoughts. You probably are no longer willing. That’s okay, I understand. Even I wouldn’t feel comfortable if I was in your position.”

You Huo remained leaning against the door.

When Yu Yao finished talking, he suddenly broke the silence and said: “It’s not a matter of whether or not I’m willing. It’s the same to me regardless.”

Yu Yao remained silent for a moment.

Old Yu and his son also agreed: “If you want to follow then follow! We don’t mind. You didn’t try to harm us anyway.”

“That’s right sister.” Yu Wen also couldn’t help but ask: “Is Yu Yao not your real name?”

If it was, why didn’t the bald man recognise her when she said her name?

Yu Yao this time blushed. She said with an apologetic expression: “Sorry, I didn’t speak truthfully at that time. That was a name I made up on the spot. Because I felt that you were very kind, I borrowed your surname.”

As she said this, she flipped over the room card in her hand and pushed it over.

On the card it said:

Name: Shu Xue

Examination Ticket Number: 860575-02091318-1127

Completed subjects: Foreign Language

Total points: 12

“This is my name.”

“Mathematics?” Yu Wen was amused: “Sister, your parents have the same taste as my family. Looks like we must still come from the same ancestor despite having different surnames.” (KK notes: Mathematics(數學)=Shu Xue. Homonym to Shu Xue’s name. As a side note, Yu Wen’s name is also a homonym for 语文 AKA Chinese)”

Yu Yao.......Oh, actually she should be called Shu Xue now.

Shu Xue laughed: “I also met someone whose name was a homonym for physics. We should form a group together.”

“But........Why do you only have one exam there? The total points also didn’t increase.” Everyone wondered.

“It has always been like that. Every time I get to the rest stops, it has only been always been the same.”

“Oh is that so.....”

The others weren’t able to process this information quick enough. You Huo went straight to the point: “Then it means that you will never be able to finish the exam?”

“Yeah.” Shu Xue fell silent for a moment. She then smiled, “But I’m happy enough just to let you guys get through this safely.”

As such, very few actually needed to check out.

You Huo glanced downstairs and saw that the checkout counter was empty; there was no need to line up.

His cart was very eye-catching.

Wherever he went, examinees would stare at him.

During the time he pushed it from the seventh floor to the first floor, the empty checkout counter had become rowdy.

You Huo ventured closer and immediately understood the reason for that.

At this moment, there was someone standing at the checkout counter. It was a tall man dressed in a smoky grey shirt. With both hands pressed down onto the counter supporting him, his defined shoulders and back was visible through his clothes.

You Huo’s footsteps stopped. He then rolled his eyes.

That back view was too easy to recognise. Who else could it be apart from invigilator 001?

A group of examinees stood in a circle not far from the invigilator. Their mouths were wide open in shock as they stared at his shopping cart.

That great master not only needed one cart, he had two...........

The cashier closed his mouth and counted the contents inside his cart with a stiff expression.

You Huo slowly walked over. He heard the cashier ask: “.......Are you sure you need four sets of clothing and two jackets?”

Qin Jiu: “Yeah.”

“.................”

“You also want these cans of meat?” The cashier placed emphasis on the word ‘these’.

Qin Jiu: “Yeah.”

“...........”

“This watch—–”

Qin Jiu: “Yeah.”

The cashier’s expression was about to crumble: “Then the suitcase..........”

Qin Jiu’s patience was at its limit. He tapped his finger and urged the cashier: “No need to check. I want them all. Please check them out for me.”

When the cashier tapped on the keyboard, Qin Jiu looked around. The moment he saw You Huo behind him, he raised an eyebrow and smiled: “Good morning. You’re awake today?”

You Huo: “........Why are you here?”

Qin Jiu: “Buying some examination supplies.”

You Huo assessed him from top to bottom and said succinctly: “An invigilator still needs exam supplies? Don’t you have your own building?”

Qin Jiu let out an ‘oh’ and said: “An invigilator naturally doesn’t need it, but an examinee should at least prepare themselves a little.”

You Huo coldly snorted.

A few seconds later, he suddenly looked up: “Repeat that last part again. Who’s an examinee?”

Qin Jiu: “Me.”

You Huo’s response: “..................”

You Huo asked: “Why?”

Qin Jiu: “The system thinks that I overdid it when I provided help so according to the rules, I am punished to be an examinee for one round.”

The source of this punishment was the help card, so it naturally had something to do with You Huo.

He thought for a moment and added: “How long is one round?”

Qin Jiu said: “At present, the entire examination consists of five subjects. Just like you, it will only count if I pass.”

You Huo: “Oh.”

He thought for a moment and, not knowing what else to say, he moved to put his earphones back in.

But before he could do that, Qin Jiu spoke up: “During the disciplinary period, I have no right to choose my own subjects. According to the rules, I must follow an examinee. Examinees could be personally selected but I’m lazy so.........I went with the default.”

You Huo held his earphones: “Who’s the default?”

Qin Jiu laughed: “Don’t make that face. This is the rule. I ended up like this because of your help card so you naturally can’t escape from it.”

He took off his gloves and lazily stretched his hand out: “Please take care of me fellow examinee?”

“............”

You Huo wanted to slam the shopping cart into his face.

KK has something to say:

They’re gonna be stuck together again ????????
