Chapter 125 Da Hui II 3
"It seems that everyone has forgotten a lot of the knowledge from the first year of high school. This is not good."
When the head teacher frowned and said this, there should have been a sigh in his voice, but because he spoke too quickly, there was no such feeling, it was like he was reciting a set line quickly.
"In the exam ten days later, we will test the knowledge learned in senior year, and the difficulty will be increased." The head teacher said simply, and then explained something more important: "For the next exam, the school has set a passing score of 620 points. This passing score is the admission score for key universities compiled by the school."
There was a sound of inhalation and low curse words in the classroom.
Yang Mei had been protecting his report card, and finally moved his arm away when he heard the head teacher say the passing line.
Xia Bai saw his score, 635.
If the knowledge tested doesn't increase and the difficulty doesn't increase, he will have no problem with the next test.
On the back of his transcript, he was ranked eighth in the class, which means that there must be many people who did not pass the exam.
Xia Bai thought that most of the people between second and eighth should be classmates from the original world.
As he expected, after the head teacher left, the classroom was filled with curses. Xia Bai saw scores of over 500 and over 400 on the report card that was stepped on the ground.
Even in the real world, it is extremely difficult to raise a high school grade from over 400 to 620 in ten days. No wonder they are so angry about stepping on the transcript.
An old player came over and told them that he scored 617.
"To be honest, I dared to sign up for this game because I had paid attention to it for a long time. I thought that my college entrance examination results were pretty good, so I picked up my high school textbooks again, thinking that I would be able to conquer this game in the future. Someone like me who has been prepared for this may be the bird that catches the worm."
"Who knows..." He spread his hands.
If he is like this, let alone other players.
Xia Bai said: "Your score is very close to the passing line. If you work hard in the next ten days, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"I can pass the first test with a score of 620, but what about the second, third, fourth, and fifth time?" He became more and more desperate. "If the passing score is 700 by then, oh well."
Most people in the classroom were as desperate as he was. Zhou Peiman, the top student, stood out. It was the first time Xia Bai saw a smile on her face. She was probably happy because she heard the head teacher say that the test paper was only for freshmen.
“…”
During lunch, Xia Bai asked Ling Changye and the others how many points they had scored in the exam.
Ling Changye's expression remained normal: "691."
Hua Haoming's face turned pale: "607."
Wen Yuxin frowned: "612."
Yang Yi said calmly: “739.”
“…”
Several people looked at Yang Yi with a look of "Are you a pervert?"
Yang Yi pushed his silver-rimmed glasses and continued to eat calmly.
"What should I do?" Wen Yuxin was so worried that he couldn't even eat. "There are no clues yet. This game can't be so perverted. Is it just a pure test?"
"Why are you worrying? If you can't do it, you can use your eyes to copy. Isn't there a top student in your class?" Hua Haoming said, "I'm the one who's having a headache."
Wen Yuxin was angry and said, "There is a top student in our class who was selected, but he is 188cm tall and sits at the back. If I turn around, I will be caught by the teacher behind me!"
They both sighed, and Yang Mei followed suit.
The three of them all sighed in common: "This is the hardest game I've ever played."
While drinking his soup, Ling Changye looked at the irritable and anxious people in the cafeteria and said, "Don't worry, the clues should appear soon."
Xia Bai asked: "Did you see anything unusual on the monitor?"
Last time, Xia Bai used Medusa's skills to move Ling Changye's small surveillance prop, so he should be able to see the entire picture of the fourth floor of the library.
Ling Changye: "If there is anything unusual, it is that they study very hard, rarely leave, and always sit in their seats reading."
Seeing that Wen Yuxin, who was the slowest eater, had also put down his chopsticks, he said, "There's even a toilet in the classroom on the fourth floor of the library."
“…”
"I have heard of studying so hard that you forget to eat and sleep, but studying so hard that you don't even have to go to the toilet outside, isn't that too exaggerated?" Yang Mei said.
"They really were so busy that they forgot to eat and sleep. Weren't there only three students who went to eat that afternoon? The remaining dozen or so didn't even eat." Xia Bai said.
Ling Changye nodded, "They really did not sleep or eat. Many of them did not go back to sleep. I should say that only one of them went back to sleep last night, while the others were sleeping on their desks."
“…”
"No, isn't this a bit too exaggerated?" Hua Haoming said, "Is this school so scary? Is this game just for us to take exams? Are we really studying for exams at the risk of our lives like they are doing?"
Yang Mei grumbled, "No wonder they all look so tired, have they really become stupid?"
Ling Changye said: "We don't have any clues yet. The key right now is to find more clues. Those who have difficulty in the exam should go back and study hard. Those who don't have difficulty should ask for more information."
"I'll try to talk to the seniors." Xia Bai said.
Ling Changye knew that he now had Yu Yin's charm skills, so he nodded and said, "I'll go with you."
Hua Haoming said with a headache: "I won't go. I have to go back and study hard."
Wen Yuxin said, "Me too, but if you need me, just call me at Class 7 anytime."
Yang Mei raised his head, but before he could say anything, Ling Changye asked him to go study.
After the results came out at noon, the teachers asked the students to go to the office to move the materials. Everyone had a table of study materials to look at, which might contain a lot of knowledge beyond the scope of high school in the real world. The task was heavy, and Yang Mei did not feel safe.
Yang Yi said, "I'll go ask the teacher."
After assigning the tasks, they went back to their classrooms.
Although there are assignments, they are done after class, and they still have to study during class time.
A special feature of the senior year at Dahui No. 2 Middle School is that there are a lot of self-study classes. Morning reading counts as self-study, and in the evening there is evening self-study. There is also one self-study class in the morning and afternoon. They can only meet with teachers of different subjects once a week.
Perhaps it is because in Dahui No. 2 Middle School, students learn all the high school knowledge in their second year of high school, and the most they do in their third year of high school is self-review.
A lot of study materials were distributed at noon, and many of them were content that Xia Bai had not learned in high school, especially the liberal arts. He memorized them as seriously as all the players in Class 13. During breaks, he would look up and see Zhou Peiman and turn the page every few seconds.
“…”
I hate these academic geniuses.
Xia Bai read more attentively, trying to memorize one page per minute.
After the afternoon self-study class, he took his textbooks and went to the cafeteria with Ling Changye to quickly finish his meal, and immediately went to the third floor of the library to guard.
The peak meal time for the senior high school students was staggered with theirs, so at half past six, the two finally waited for a student to come down for dinner.
Xia Bai used Yu Yin's skill, the skill name is [Harmless Face], which belongs to the charm system. This skill is actually very useful in the game. No matter what he does, others will easily believe that he has no bad intentions and is innocent and harmless.
He and Ling Changye followed the boy out of the library, and Xia Bai caught up with him and called him, "Classmate."
The boy seemed not to hear his voice and continued walking forward.
He had seen their ability to block outside information last time, so he was not surprised and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
The boy finally turned and looked at him.
Xia Bai smiled at him and asked him, "Classmate, are you studying on the fourth floor?"
The boy frowned, turned his head and continued walking forward.
Xia Bai was slightly stunned; his skills seemed to have no effect on him.
He caught up with him and continued to ask: "Classmate, are you our senior? Is the senior year of high school very tiring? You look a little thin."
The boy ignored him.
Xia Bai asked him again: "Senior, do you also have to take an exam every ten days?"
The boy still ignored him.
Xia Bai leaned forward and waved his hand in front of his face, "Senior?"
The boy still didn't respond.
Xia Bai had no choice. Just as he stopped, a stone hit the boy directly.
They were two high school boys who were returning to the classroom after dinner. After throwing stones at the boy, they were pointing at him and laughing.
Even so, the boy didn't react at all. He still walked towards the cafeteria with no expression.
"Captain, he really looks like a zombie." Xia Bai said to Ling Changye.
Ling Changye asked: "Do zombies walk that fast?"
The boy walked really fast. Xia Bai followed him all the way and had to speed up his pace several times to catch up with him.
Ling Changye shared another discovery he had made, "This boy's walking is not that steady. It's not very obvious, but there's just a sense of disharmony."
The zombies' walk was uncoordinated and very stiff.
In that case, he's more like a zombie.
The two discovered some new problems and were still confused.
The evening study time was approaching, so they had to go back to the classroom.
The next afternoon, they came to the library again, and this time they agreed that Ling Changye would go and talk to them. Ling Changye secretly copied Yang Yi's skills and came here.
Unfortunately, no one came down from the fourth floor to eat that afternoon.
Ling Changye turned on his cell phone and they saw from the surveillance camera that someone had brought a lot of chocolates from the fourth floor and the students were sitting there eating them.
Xia Bai looked at it for a while, feeling very complicated.
After leaving the library, he said to Ling Changye: "Captain, do you think it's worth it for the college entrance examination?"
There was a toilet in the classroom on the fourth floor. It was a real bucket with urine in it. If they just wanted to pee, some of them would do it there.
The same goes for meals. Although not everyone went downstairs to eat in the past two days, at least some people went to the cafeteria to eat hot meals. But now, no one goes downstairs and they just sit there eating Chocolatier.
They are like soulless livestock kept in captivity by the school, whose sole purpose is to produce high scores.
"After birth, the college entrance examination is the first and perhaps the only chance for many people to change their fate. I am not qualified to say whether it is worth it or not." Ling Changye said, "From another perspective, the exam is also a chance for us to change our fate. If we pass the exam, we can get out alive, otherwise we will die. Do you think it is worth it?"
Xia Bai seemed to understand a little.
During this evening study session, Xia Bai clearly felt that the atmosphere in the class was anxious.
There are so many things to learn. After one day of study, many people realize that it is too difficult to learn all of them in ten days, not to mention getting such a high score, which is almost an impossible task.
If they can't finish it, they will die.
Many people would throw their books or pens away while watching, or go out to get some fresh air because they felt too depressed.
There are surveillance cameras in the classroom. When the head teacher sees students like this, he will come in and scold them, then call them to the office to stand in punishment.
But many of the prisoners were not students and had long lost their fear of teachers. Moreover, when they realized that they were about to die, they could be said to be fearless. After the head teacher asked a few of them to stand in the corner as punishment, the remaining ones in the class not only did not restrain themselves, but became even more rampant.
A female prisoner kicked Zhou Peiman's desk and made it tilt. "Learn, learn, learn! Learn from your mother!"
Xia Bai knew that this was a typical mentality of not wanting others to live even though he himself couldn't live.
Zhou Peiman glanced at her and silently pulled his desk back. When he was about to lower his head to continue reading, the woman grabbed his hair and pulled him up, "You are so capable, right, you college bully!"
When Xia Bai was about to stand up, the head teacher appeared at the window out of nowhere, with his face pressed against the window glass, looking at the woman with dim eyes.
For some reason, the woman's fingers trembled and she suddenly loosened her hand.
"We caught you." The head teacher, who usually spoke very quickly, spoke very slowly this time, looking at the female prisoner with an excited smile, "We have evidence to persuade you to quit."
The female prisoner was taken away by security guards.
She was in good physical condition and struggled hard at first. Two security guards took a step back and the other two directly covered her with an electric net. In less than two seconds, she was electrocuted and passed out. Perhaps she fainted or perhaps she was dead. She was dragged away by the security guards with her body stiff.
Sizzle-sizzle-sizzle-
The sound echoed in the corridor for a long time and then gradually faded away.
The classroom was quiet for a while, and suddenly several prisoners stood up and rushed towards the head teacher outside the door.
Xia Bai, Yang Mei and another veteran player sat there motionless.
They all knew that the game gave them some magical skills, but they had to use them where they should be used. It was obvious that this game was designed to let them pass exams, so it was impossible for them to use their skills to resist violently.
Once you enter the game, there are two default basic rules: one is to abide by the rules of the game, and the other is not to violate the character setting.
As students, they cannot resist and suppress the school, and they cannot refuse to take exams.
But these prisoners who have committed serious crimes and come from prison don’t know. Maybe they know and have been educated about it, but when they see no hope, they like to use violence to solve the problem and try to create another way out.
The only sound outside was the sound of them rushing out, which soon died down, and then there was the sound of clothes rubbing against the rough floor as people were dragged.
Xia Bai couldn't help but stood on tiptoe to look out the window, only to see that the last person who was dragged away still had his eyes open. He was not unconscious, nor was he dead, he just had his eyes open and no response.
"They all had their eyes open." After the evening self-study class, Wen Yuxin waited for them at the entrance of the teaching building and told them what she saw. "Their eyes looked a little strange. I didn't notice it at first. It was only when they were about to be dragged into the laboratory that I saw fear in their eyes."
Ling Changye asked: "Did they start to panic later, or did their panic develop particularly slowly?"
His question was actually a bit strange. Wen Yuxin thought about it and said, "It really is generated very slowly! This is what I find strange. People's fear usually develops very quickly. Even if they slowly realize the terror, it will be reflected directly and quickly in their eyes. They..."
Ling Changye said: "Their reaction has slowed down."
Wen Yuxin: "Yes! It seems so."
Yang Mei felt a little dizzy after a day of intense study and asked, "Is it the same as the group of senior students in the library?"
Those students seemed to be slow to react.
Ling Changye couldn't figure it out. "If they reacted very slowly, why did they get high scores? And why were those students who were dragged away so terrified?"
Even Yang Yi couldn't figure out this problem.
Xia Bai was the same. He couldn't figure it out and couldn't even think of a possibility. In this situation, he began to wonder what Lin Xiang would imagine.
"Could it be that the ghosts of other top students have entered their bodies?" Xia Bai said seriously, "The school raises the ghosts of top students and lets them enter the bodies of senior high school students every year, so that they can take the college entrance examination on behalf of the senior high school students."
"That's why students from this school are admitted to prestigious universities every year. That's why they react so slowly, walk stiffly, and have a sense of disharmony. It's caused by the incompatibility between the spirit and the body."
Yang Mei pointed out the problem directly, just like Xia Bai did before, "Wake up, I've tried it, the people on the fourth floor of the library are not ghosts."
Xia Bai: "They are ghosts that have entered the bodies of living people. They are still in the process of adapting to the new environment. They are not pure ghosts."
“…”
Xia Bai asked: "Any other questions?"
Yang Mei was stunned, "No more."
"I can't think of any problem either." Hua Haoming said: "This can also explain why the people on the fourth floor of the library are like zombies."
"Me too." Wen Yuxin said, "This can even explain why the boy committed suicide on the day of the oath-taking ceremony, and the relieved smile on his face when he died. He must have collapsed, and he would rather die than let the evil ghosts use his body at will."
Yang Yi, the former vice president of the research institute who has heard many retellings of the game, analyzed, "From the perspective of dungeon design, it is indeed very likely. Whether it is the ghosts of top students trapped by the school or the students who are possessed, they all have stories to tell. Those top students may have been killed by the school's design. If we make the truth about their deaths clear, they can help us pass the exam."
“…”
“…”
After everyone finished speaking, they fell into silence.
Xia Bai looked at Ling Changye, the only one who hadn't spoken yet, but Ling Changye couldn't say anything either.
After a while, he started laughing. Xia Bai saw him laughing and started laughing too. He moved closer to him and asked him, "Captain, am I right?"
Others: “…”
Showing off some love.
Ling Changye thought about it and didn't say whether there was a problem or not. "You have learned it. Maybe you and Lin Xiang can make great contributions? We will wait and see."
Yang Mei's face immediately turned from gloomy to bright, and the tiredness was swept away, as if a little sun was hanging. "If this is the case, no matter which top student's ghost comes into my body, won't they be fascinated by me and willingly take the exam for me?"
“…”
They talked and laughed and went back to the dormitory, neither taking this as the only truth nor denying the possibility.
After studying until late at night, early the next morning, all the senior high school students dragged their tired bodies into the classroom.
The head teacher of Class 13 stood on the podium and announced something after everyone arrived.
"What happened last night was terrible. It was not just our class. The head teachers of other classes also reported similar situations." The head teacher spoke very quickly and looked very angry. "In order to prevent poor students from affecting the learning of excellent students, the school decided to re-divide the classes and dormitories according to the results of the baseline test."
He posted the new classes and dormitories of his students on the blackboard. "In addition to classes and dormitories, students whose scores on the baseline test are less than 600 will have to wait until students with scores above 600 finish their meals before eating."
"I hope you poor students have a clear understanding of yourselves. You will be persuaded to drop out at any time. Don't even think about competing with the top students who bring honor to the school. Not only can you not compete with them, you have to give in to them in everything and put them first."
The head teacher said, “After the morning reading class, change the classroom and dormitory at breakfast time.”
It is not surprising to divide classes according to grades. In the real world, high schools also have experimental classes and ordinary classes, so players did not think much about it.
At breakfast, Xia Bai went to his new class, Grade 3 (1).
His new classmates are Ling Changye, Yang Yi, Zhou Peiman, about twenty top students selected by the Tourism Administration, and a dozen classmates from his original world.
Wen Yuxin and Yang Mei are in Class 3 (Senior 3), and Hua Haoming is in Class 4 (Senior 3).
Xia Bai's new roommates became Yang Yi, three top students, and a classmate from his original world.
After the class division, the teachers had even less teaching time for the first few classes, leaving most of the time for students to study on their own.
Self-study is better for them. The new learning materials contain complex new test points and many detailed knowledge points that they need to remember. Even Yang Yi needs a lot of time.
The person who was dragged away that night never showed up again, and the others didn't dare to make trouble anymore and just studied hard in class.
The search for clues reached a deadlock, so they temporarily focused their energy on the exam, which was the essence of this game.
Hua Haoming, who had the worst grades, only slept three hours a day, even under the tutoring of Yang Yi. However, the passing line was a dead end, so he did not dare to be complacent at all.
After enduring ten days and nights, the first formal exam was held on the eleventh day after they entered the game, still in their own class.
The Grade 3 (1) class was silent throughout the entire test, with everyone concentrating on answering the questions.
Xia Bai could still hear a few subtle sighs from time to time. This exam was indeed more difficult than the last one, and the examination was even more detailed. Even he had several questions that he had found from nowhere, had no idea where to start, or couldn't remember.
After the test, Hua Haoming and Yang Mei were completely paralyzed. Wen Yuxin was better. She said, "I review and admit that I copied from several classmates. This class division is very friendly to me. I can copy a little bit from everywhere."
“…”
This was the first time Yang Mei wanted to exchange skills with someone else, "Why hasn't the ghost come yet?"
“…”
Just like last time, the results came out the next day at noon, and this time they were posted on the bulletin board.
When they saw the report card at lunch, they were all stunned.
It was a consensus among everyone that this exam was more difficult than the last one. Xia Bai only scored 681, while several prisoners who had only scored over 500 last time were ranked ahead of him this time with high scores.
