Chapter 55 Reversal of Middle School (4) - Mock Exam Ranking
The three sat on the steps of the playground, their elbows resting on their knees and their hands supporting their foreheads.
After a long while, Wu Yi started scratching his head, making his hair look like a bird's nest, and then asked, "What should we do? Will there be any punishment for us in this mock exam?"
Ning Shu didn't think it was a big problem: "It's okay, at worst we can just kill the teacher. You should worry about what to do if you fail the exam."
This is even more of a blow to Wu Yi.
With only half a month left, Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan were extremely anxious because they really had no clue whatsoever.
Cheng Chuan looked at Ning Shu: "Do you want to team up with other players and share clues?"
Ning Shu: "Do you have any clues you can share with the other party?"
"..." No.
Cheng Chuan remained silent.
After a long pause, he spoke up: "Perhaps we can use points?"
Ning Shu: "With so many players, who will you choose to cooperate with?"
Cheng Chuan thought about it and realized that he didn't seem to have much contact with other players.
"Perhaps we can observe them first before making a decision."
"That's a good idea, but you'd better make your choice quickly, or the game will end soon."
After Ning Shu finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to go back to her dormitory to rest. She needed to relax; she had been too stressed these past few days.
On the morning of the third Monday, as soon as they arrived at the classroom area, they saw a large crowd.
Wu Yi asked curiously, "What happened up ahead?"
Ning Shu urged Wu Yi, "Wu Yi, you're tall, go up and see what happened."
Wu Yi obediently did as instructed, and a while later returned to tell Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan:
"The rankings of the mock exam results were released earlier, and I took a look. The players' rankings are all quite low."
The highest-ranked player was 652nd, with almost everyone else at the bottom.
Ning Shu: "What's the total score of that player ranked over 600?"
Wu Yi was taken aback: "It seems to be over 300 points, but I don't remember the exact number. Should I go back and check again?"
"No need, I'll go check it out later." Ning Shu said, then turned to Cheng Chuan. "Even the highest-ranked player didn't pass the minimum score. Are you sure you want to cooperate with them?"
Cheng Chuan was taken aback: "Why are you so wary of other players this time? You weren't like this before."
Ning Shu: "The previous players didn't start fighting right away, and I always felt that Hai Ge and Hou Ge had something going on."
Cheng Chuan frowned upon hearing the last sentence; it turned out he wasn't the only one who thought so.
Wu Yi: "What's wrong with them? I don't see anything wrong with them."
Ning Shu ignored him and waited until the crowd thinned out before walking to the results board. She wanted to see what clues the board was trying to reveal.
Let's look at the last one first. You can tell he's a player just by looking at his unique name. There are a total of 880 students participating in the ranking.
Just as Wu Yi said, most players were at the bottom.
She first looked up her name, which ranked 723rd, a decent ranking among players, but her score was absolutely abysmal.
Then look at Cheng Chuan. His ranking is not much different from hers, but his martial arts skills are hard to describe. No wonder he didn't mention his ranking at all just now.
After seeing the appalling rankings, it's natural to pay attention to the rankings of the top students.
Ning Shuzai carefully studied the results list several times and found that all 880 people from the 405th place onwards had failed.
With a pass rate of less than 50%, this school doesn't seem very good.
However, seeing that ranking gave her a new idea.
The bell rang, and they went back to class.
After class, Ning Shu and the others went to find the class monitor again.
The class monitor frowned when he saw the three people surrounding him and asked, puzzled, "Hey, you who doesn't wash your feet, what's wrong with you now?"
Again? How presumptuous of you to use that word!
However, remembering that he needed her help, Ning Shu still gave a friendly smile: "Class monitor, do you know which class that student named Zeng Shaobo is in?"
The squad leader frowned: "Why are you asking this?"
Ning Shu blurted out, "Wasn't he the top scorer in the mock exam? We want to learn from him."
The class monitor didn't react much, and casually replied, "In Class 1 of the second year of high school."
Wow, I didn't expect them to be so close.
Ning Shu happily thanked the class monitor and waved goodbye, then pulled Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi towards Class 1.
Cheng Chuan asked Ning Shu in the corridor, "What's your plan?"
Suddenly seeking out the person who ranked first in the exam—what can they possibly learn from that? Is it something that can be accomplished simply by seeking knowledge?
Ning Shu pulled them aside and whispered, "What do you think? Would it be okay if we threatened them to write our names on the exam papers?"
Wu Yi's eyes lit up.
Cheng Chuan thought for a moment: "It's not that we can't, but when do you want to try? If it doesn't work, we'll all be wiped out."
Wu Yi, who had just been excited about the idea, instantly became dejected.
Ning Shu thought for a moment: "I wonder if there will be another round of mock exams. It would be great if there were."
Cheng Chuan: "I don't think so, otherwise the frequency of exams would be too high."
Ning Shu frowned: "Then let's keep this method as a backup. I'll think of other methods."
Cheng Chuan was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself, "You have quite a few ideas."
Wu Yi looked at the two of them and asked, "Should we still go find the top student now?"
"Top student? That's a good title." Ning Shu thought, "Why don't we use that to refer to our classmate Zeng?"
“Go, why not? We have to go… to learn from their experience!” Ning Shu winked at the two of them.
Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi were completely bewildered.
However, Cheng Chuan felt that if they really needed NPCs to take the exam for them, they would need to hire at least two more people.
Ning Shu stopped a little distance away from Class 1, turned around and told Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi, "You guys wait here first, I'll go over and chat for a bit."
So the two of them waited in the corridor, watching Ning Shu walk to the door of Class 1 and talk to the students inside.
Wu Yi nudged Cheng Chuan with his elbow: "Brother Chuan, Sister Ning is quite capable. You have good taste."
Cheng Chuan asked, puzzled, "What do you mean by 'good taste'?"
Wu Yi: "Stop pretending. Aren't you two a couple?"
Is it because I've always been by your side that you're embarrassed to show affection in public?
You two definitely seem a bit different from typical couples.
Wu Yi was still wondering if it was because of him, the third wheel, that they were all too embarrassed to get close to him. He needed to be more careful in the future.
As a result, he was stunned by Cheng Chuan's words.
"We are not a couple."
"..."
Wu Yi remained silent, then burst into a scream.
"Really?"
Cheng Chuan nodded.
Wu Yi: "But you two seemed to know each other very well during the trial instance, and you even held hands together."
Cheng Chuan: "We were scared at that time, so we instinctively held hands."
Wu Yi: "Huh?! Why didn't you say so earlier? I thought you guys..."
Cheng Chuan stared at Wu Yi: "What? You've taken a fancy to her?" His tone was indifferent, with a hint of coldness.
