Based on the experience of the first stage, the physical fitness test, other people's experiences may not be entirely correct, and may even be misleading.
"knew."
However, Chen Qian didn't show anything on the surface, he just smiled and nodded.
"Candidates, please prepare to enter the examination room. The willpower test will be conducted in groups of 100. When your name is called, please proceed to your respective examination room as directed by the staff!"
Just then, the bell rang, and a voice came over the loudspeaker.
"I'll be going now before it sinks. Good luck..."
Ouyang Fei hesitated for a moment before saying, "You may not have come into contact with any treasures for nurturing spiritual power before. Compared to some wealthy disciples, you'll have to work harder on the basics. However, the strength of one's will doesn't entirely depend on the strength of one's spiritual power. In short..."
"Don't feel guilty or pay attention to the rumors. We'll be waiting for you at the exam entrance!"
After Ouyang Fei finished speaking, he left. Shen Qian watched his departing figure, a warm feeling flowing through his heart.
This trip to take the college entrance exam was actually a bonus; I made some real friends.
I specifically consulted Shi Dingyan about the relationship between willpower and mental strength last night before I went to the lake.
Indeed, as Ouyang Fei said, strong mental strength does not necessarily mean strong will. It can only mean that people with strong mental strength have clear consciousness, open-minded thinking, and are more likely to form a more tenacious will than ordinary people.
To put it figuratively, mental strength is the foundation, while willpower is the tower that stands on it. Strong mental strength makes it easier to build a tower that reaches the sky, but this is not absolute.
For example, regarding pain tolerance, some people can endure more pain, while others cannot bear even the slightest pain.
Perhaps only women and children can endure the pain, while strong men are the ones who are afraid of it.
Willpower is the resistance to all negative emotions and the strong inner strength to remain calm in dire straits.
Shen Qian wouldn't dare say he had the strongest willpower, but he was most confident about this exam...
So far, at least, I haven't seen any predicament or desperate situation that could affect the system.
Absolute calmness and rationality are also a kind of extreme perseverance.
The real problem facing Chen Qian is simply finding the path to a perfect score.
"...Examination admission ticket number, Jingcheng No. 7 Senior High School, Shen Qian!"
At that moment, the staff at the front called out Shen Qian's name.
"arrive!"
"Wait in the orange area ahead."
Next, the staff called out the names of ninety-nine people. After all one hundred people had arrived, he led them through the stadium's corridor and into a venue about the size of a basketball court.
Hundreds of tables and chairs have been set up inside the venue, and each table has a black wire helmet with the wire at the other end connected to the ground.
Under the guidance of the staff, everyone took their seats one by one.
Shen Qian's seat was right next to the door. After sitting down, he looked at the helmet on the table. It looked a bit like a virtual reality headset for VR games, but it had a colder feel to it and was labeled "For Exams Only".
"After verifying your identity, you can put on the helmet and listen to the exam rules. The exam will begin in five minutes. Please prepare. If you encounter any problems such as helmet malfunction, please raise your hand to report them immediately."
An invigilator's voice came over the loudspeaker in the upper right corner of the venue, but it was impossible to see where the person was sitting.
After having his fingerprints recorded to verify his identity, Shen Qian put on a helmet.
Click!
The helmet closed automatically, and after a slight stinging sensation on his forehead, Shen Qian subconsciously closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he was standing in complete darkness.
A light shone overhead, and when Chen Qian looked up, he saw a line of large floating characters.
The characters were strong and elegant, yet slightly messy, as if handwritten.
"A firm will can dispel all confusion."
What's this?
Exam advice?
He pondered silently before sinking down.
Soon, the word "light" disappeared, and a pleasant mechanical female voice rang out in the dark space.
"Welcome to the candidates whose admission ticket number ends in 'I will now read out the detailed rules of the willpower test.'"
"There is an hourglass countdown on your left. Break free from the willpower card before all the sand runs out, and you will be considered to have completed the test..."
"You can switch the front-facing Willpower cards at will..."
"You may terminate the exam at any time, and your score will be based on your actual performance in the assessment..."
Shen listened carefully and found that it was largely the same as what Ouyang Fei had said.
He turned to look to his left and sure enough, there were ten golden hourglasses floating there, each marked with the number "10".
"According to Ouyang Fei, if one hourglass is worth ten points, does that mean that you can only get a score of ninety or higher by breaking free of the card before the first hourglass runs out?"
Before sinking, he vaguely felt that something was not quite right.
Before I could think it over, the pleasant female voice rang out again.
"Neuron connection complete, candidate's condition detected as normal, permitted to take the exam."
"The exam is about to begin. Please prepare yourselves. Ten seconds left..."
"...3, 2, 1!"
As the countdown reached zero, the first hourglass began to flow, and at the same time, a small point of light appeared in front of Shen Qian.
The point of light quickly expanded, transforming into a life-sized golden card that hovered in front of Shen Qian.
The image on the card gradually became clearer, and it was indeed shaped like a playing card, except that the central image was a black eye.
"King of Spades".
Chen Qian glanced at the number in the upper right corner of the playing card. According to Ouyang Fei's reasoning, this card should be the most difficult.
