I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 9 Difficult Exam
"呲————"

The airlock doors at the main entrance of the building slid to both sides, and the Kram Cigarette Factory unveiled its mystery to the students.

A figure came over.

He was wearing a white hooded robe, his mouth and nose were covered by a mechanical mask, and his right eye had been modified, with a glowing red prosthetic eye replacing the original eye.

"Wow, that's cool, he has implants."

"His right eye is glowing red. Is he scanning us?"

"I really want to get myself a bionic arm, but it's too expensive. I can't afford it even if I sell my dad."

The boys were whispering and were very excited.

Flesh and blood are weak, but machinery lasts forever.

This sentence is widely circulated among boys. Now that they have finally seen the rumored implants, how can the boys not be excited.

"All silence."

The mechanical mask of the visitor was integrated with a sound array device, and the voice he spoke was synthesized electronically, sounding like a robot.

He stood in front of the door, his hands behind his back, and said sternly:
"I'm the security chief of the Kram Cigarette Factory, you can call me Borg.

"My master is the respected Mr. Kram. He is the owner and controller of the Kram Cigarette Factory and the leader of the Kram family.

"I hope that you will remain dignified and solemn from beginning to end after entering this building, and do not act without authorization. Those who violate the rules will be handed over to the Hive Legal Department and punished for stealing confidential documents."

Borg paused, and swept his cold eyes over everyone:

"Do you understand everything?"

The students nodded in unison, not daring to breathe.

"Very good, follow me."

Borg walked towards the door with his hands behind his back and his back straight.

The students looked at each other and lined up in three lines to enter the hall.

Li Nuo was at the end of the line and happened to be walking with Amy, so he returned the book.

Amy looked very nervous.

After putting away her textbooks, she didn't talk to Li Nuo, but stared at the road ahead.

The team moved forward in silence.

There was a strange smell in the corridor, a bit like disinfectant, and the air was colder than outside, giving people goose bumps.

There is sound-absorbing material on the walls, and the students' footsteps are completely absorbed, making the atmosphere in the team even more depressing.

After a while, Borg stopped and gestured at the sensor door.

The door opened, revealing a room with tables, chairs and benches, large enough for everyone to sit.

"In five minutes, the data board on the table will present the test questions. The first test will last for one hour. Only those who pass the test can enter the second test. You can find a seat by yourselves."

Students came in one after another.

Li Nuo sat in the corner.

A data pad was attached to the table in series with cables, and a stylus was next to it.

There is a countdown on the screen, made up of green pixels.

After five minutes, the countdown disappears.

Multiple-choice questions are refreshed one by one.

The green screen lights up the room, making people's faces look pale green. If someone doesn't know, they would think this is a stock exchange.

There were exclamations one after another in the room.

"Oh my god, is this still Low Gothic? How come I know every letter, but I can't recognize even one piece?!"

"Damn it, it seems to be High Gothic! Didn't we agree to examine Low Gothic?"

"Is this High Gothic? It's horrible. The words are longer than my index finger."

Li Nuo glanced at the multiple-choice questions on the data board, feeling a little surprised, and subconsciously looked to the left.

Amy just sat there.

Her expression was complicated, a mixture of joy and relief. Could it be that her father, the dean, had given her the lowdown?
It shouldn't be cheating.

Maybe she learned High Gothic at home, which is why she behaves like this.

"Keep quiet." Borg stood by the door, his face grim:

"From now on, noisemakers will be kicked out of the building. The exam has already started, answer the questions as quickly as possible."

The students answered with gritted teeth, and most of them had sad faces.

Li Nuo was a little amused.

It’s not because the questions are difficult, but because they are too easy.

If he wanted, he could even pass the exam with full marks.

This was thanks to the Latin he had mastered before the time travel.

In order to contribute to international journals, he used his spare time to teach himself Latin related to mycology.

If you master the common roots, affixes and grammar of English and Latin, you can barely read a short Latin text.

The same is true of the relationship between Low Gothic and High Gothic.

After having a sufficient vocabulary of Low Gothic, anyone can identify the roots and affixes of High Gothic by "finding similarities" and thus roughly understand the meaning of the question.

In essence, this exam is to test students' ability to respond on the spot, and at the same time to check whether their foundation in Low Gothic is solid.

Li Nuo saw through the test-setter's intentions and the train of thought behind the questions. He also had the foundation of self-taught Latin, so this test was a piece of cake for him.

If I don’t get full marks, I will be sorry for my hard study before traveling through time.

Start doing the questions.

Time passes quickly.

Some students sighed, while others seemed to have found the pattern and their eyes lit up with excitement.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes.

There were fewer sighs at the scene, and more and more people grasped the tricks of solving the problems.

Forty minutes, fifty minutes.

Li Nuo wrote furiously, the tip of his pen moving non-stop.

But the damn test paper seemed to have no end. After finishing one page, the next page would always pop up.

If you can't finish all the test questions, how can you get full marks?

Write, write, write, write hard, write crazily, and write tirelessly.

Li Nuo seemed to have returned to the time when he was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, and was completely immersed in the vast ocean of questions.

What everyone failed to notice was that Examiner Borg's artificial eye was flashing rapidly.

A strange attitude emanated from his eyes and enveloped the entire room, making many candidates drowsy.

There was only one exception at the scene.

That's Li Nuo.

While others' wrists were sore, he was solving problems.

While others were moving their arms and shoulders, he was still solving the problem.

While other candidates were yawning due to inexplicable sleepiness, Li Nuo was still solving the questions.

The stance that Borg exuded did not prevent Li Nuo from answering the questions.

At this moment, the test-taking ability he had developed during his long student career fully broke out.

No matter what the topic was, he never paused for a moment and spoke as smoothly as flowing water.

Borg came up behind him.

The prosthetic eye flickered, and invisible light repeatedly scanned Li Nuo. A faint sound of electric current continued in Borg's body.

Every move and facial expression of Li Nuo while doing the test was collected by Borg's prosthetic eye, then compiled into binary data through the intracranial implant and transmitted to the monitoring room of the building through the sound array system.

There, four figures were watching Li Nuo solving the problem.
