Because once the exam begins, the hourglass starts flowing.
It's impossible for everyone who breaks free from the first hourglass to get a perfect score, because that would seem too easy.
What if the hourglass really just represents time?
A thought struck Chen Qian, and his gaze returned to the flowing hourglass.
The exam started at 2 PM. Judging from the time recorded in the log, he had spent less than three minutes in the illusion, and the hourglass had just passed a quarter of its length.
If you think about it that way, it makes sense. The "10" in each hourglass actually represents ten minutes.
There are ten hourglasses here, which actually refer to the maximum duration of the assessment, 100 minutes.
Are you going to spend 100 minutes fighting against a single Willpower Card?
Shen Qian turned to look at the dull "King of Spades" and gradually realized something.
He stared at the King of Spades and said, "Switch cards!"
A sound like mechanical turning rang out, the King of Spades slid to the left and disappeared into the darkness, and a brand new card reappeared in front of Shen Qian.
"Plum Blossom Seven".
Golden light flowed across the card, and this time the central image was a flame.
really!
Shen Qian was shocked. Even if he had passed the test of one card, he could still choose a second card.
"hiss!"
Suddenly realizing something, Chen Qian gasped.
He felt as if he had found a way to get a perfect score.
If each card takes about three minutes to process on average, how many cards would take in one hundred minutes?
No, that's not right!
The implied requirements are likely even higher, because if Shen Qian's guess is correct, to pass the exam perfectly, one needs to pass the test of all the cards here...
Before the ten hourglasses run out.
How many cards are in a deck of cards?
The tingling sensation on my scalp returned.
If one illusion is already this terrifying, what kind of monster would it take to pass all the illusions in such a short time?
Before sinking in, I inexplicably thought of those two "madmen" in history who scored 299 points. I'm really curious about which subject they lost points in.
"bring it on!"
Without further hesitation, he stared directly at the "Plum Blossom Seven" before him.
The card shone brightly, enveloping Shenqian, and the flames on it transformed into two large characters.
"pain."
The next moment, an invisible force once again dragged Shen Qian into the cards.
...
In the quiet examination room number three, only a few staff members patrolling could be heard making light footsteps.
Their primary responsibility is to monitor the candidates' condition at all times. If a candidate is found to be completely broken down or experiencing physiological reactions, they must help the candidate forcibly end the exam.
At this moment, the other three people all had strange expressions, and they kept glancing at their colleague standing in front of a test table by the door.
Starting ten minutes ago, that colleague seemed to have become the personal customer service representative for candidate number 01, standing there afraid to leave.
The main problem was that the candidate's condition was too strange. He had almost collapsed more than once, but whenever his colleague tried to disconnect the helmet, the candidate would quickly return to normal.
It's absolutely bizarre.
The staff standing in front of Shen Qian's desk were also very puzzled. Is this okay or not?
If you say this candidate is capable, he always seems to nearly break down; if you say he's not capable, he always manages to pull through.
In short, Shen Qian's alternating state had been going on for a long time, making him afraid to be distracted and keeping his eyes fixed on Shen Qian.
In a small room next to the venue, three invigilators from examination room number three were sitting.
They were watching the monitors on the screens, not only to keep an eye on the candidates, but also to supervise the patrol personnel inside.
The strange situation of candidate number 01 had already caught the attention of the three, but the chief invigilator from the Ministry of Education had not expressed any opinion, and the two deputy officials from the Department of Education naturally had nothing to say.
If Shen Qian were here, he would recognize that the white-haired chief examiner was the same one who had conducted his physical fitness test.
Ou Peiliang was originally assigned to invigilate exam room number five, but he applied to his superiors to change to exam room number three.
The reason is indeed because of the sinking.
It wasn't that he thought Shen Qian could get a perfect score in this exam, but rather that he subconsciously wanted to keep an eye on Shen Qian, this "good seedling".
It has been a long time since anyone has grasped the ultimate secrets of physical fitness tests.
As members of the Examination Supervision Department of the Ministry of Education, they are among the very few people in China who know the "biggest secret" of the college entrance examination.
Unfortunately, even if you know the answer, you can't say it. Even if you did, it wouldn't make a difference. It's like the first physical fitness test; you can't answer it just because you're told the correct answer.
He also noticed the strange state of the sinking body.
He felt it was a bit of a pity.
This student, Shen Qian, who is exceptionally talented in physical ability, doesn't seem to be very good at willpower.
He also wondered if Shen Qian was quickly clearing different card illusions, but then he thought it was impossible; it couldn't be that fast.
As a veteran employee of the Examination Inspectorate, he has proctored countless college entrance examinations and has seen countless exceptional geniuses.
However, the only genius in history to have scored full marks in the test of willpower is a unique and irreplaceable individual.
"In any case, with such physical fitness as a foundation, willpower can be gradually improved, and he is still a rough gem."
Ou Peiliang stared intently at Shen Qian on the monitor screen, silently praying that nothing unexpected would happen to him.
