Crossing the stars, I live-streamed my cultivation in kindergarten

Chapter 473 Final Exam: Giving Away Points

Off the field, the "unlucky guy" Zhou Zhou and his friends were talking about was trembling all over.

So angry.

Which school are the candidates in the red camp from? They're so insidious.

Who would have thought that the fifth-tier beast bone picked up casually by the roadside was actually a deliberate act of sabotage by the other party?

He was quite pleased with himself at the time, thinking he had found something good.

Fifth-tier beast bones are invaluable weapons in the examination hall.

{Candidate 1482, it is with regret that you have been eliminated in this exam by candidate number two from the red faction. Your points have been halved, and your current points are 89. Please wait for the exam to end and for the rankings to be tallied.}
Don't let him know who that second candidate is! Otherwise, he'll definitely make him pay!
From the first night onwards, candidates kept coming out of the holographic capsules, and they were all eliminated by the candidates in the red camp without ever meeting them in person!

When the candidates who knew each other got together and chatted, they realized that most of their experiences of being eliminated seemed familiar.

They all stayed in the lobby, searching through thousands of videos for the footage they wanted to see.

If any orcs paid attention, they would have noticed that the vast majority of them were watching footage of the red faction's number one through thirteen.

This is currently the most viewed video by test takers.

At that moment, they had only one thought in their minds: no matter what, they must find the candidate who eliminated him at all costs!

Invigilation area.

The senior leadership, headed by Principal Zhong, remained silent for a very long time before Vice Principal Chen finally broke the silence.

"See? I told you, this is the test content that Teacher He from Sunshine Kindergarten personally led to assess! She said it's perfect for their school's middle-class students!"

"You're worried that our second-year students might bully them? Dream on! Class monitor Hei Mo and his gang should thank the Beast God for not leading a team to wipe out all the students in our school!"

Dean Lin's voice was hoarse, "Who would have thought that they could eliminate other candidates in different areas without even showing up?" He actually thought the other party had cheated to get so many points?
That shows a narrow perspective.

Looking back now, the rate at which points were earned was clearly too slow.

For a fleeting second, Dean Lin wondered if their second-year students were too weak. After a whole day and night, their points were still so low, while the younger students on the other side could only get a tiny bit of points.

He felt a little ashamed.

But soon he shook his head, banishing the idea from his mind.

Inside the virtual examination room.

Zhou Zhou and his group chose to remain still and quietly left.

As they retreated, examinee number one, Mu Yunke, examinee number six, Phil, and examinee number thirteen, Doris, looked up at them from afar, their eyes filled with regret.

Mu Yunke: Huh, a bunch of cowards! Ah, they've left his mental perception range.

Phil: Oh dear, why did they leave? It was so hard to lure them here.

Doris blinked: Hmm, should we let a small animal follow them? No, never mind, it wouldn't be good if they killed the animal.

As Zhou Zhou and his group left the area, for a moment they felt as if they were being watched by something.

But soon, as they moved further away from the thirteen candidates in the red camp, that chilling feeling finally disappeared.

Zhou Zhou immediately decided: "From now on, we must not become their enemy." It is not advisable to take action before figuring out their methods.

But not taking action doesn't mean we can't observe.

However, in the following days, they found that the actions of the thirteen candidates were truly baffling.

Today, aside from speaking three times a day, either in the morning, noon, or evening, or once on the 12th or 9th, the timing of these speeches felt somewhat familiar to them.

What followed was a seemingly chaotic but clearly divided "busy work." However, after understanding the purpose of those "junk" items in their hands, they no longer foolishly thought that those things were useless, especially those thirteen old men on the other side!

What puzzled them most was that they could actually prepare three meals a day while in the examination room.

If a meal is missed or if something happens and the student is a little late, the fourth candidate will puff out his cheeks and pout, and what's most terrifying is that he will actually stomp his feet!
That's terrifying. A grown male behaving so childishly.

When they first saw it, many of them rubbed their eyes several times.

Finally, it was nighttime, and surprisingly, no one was left to keep watch across the street; they were all asleep!

I went to bed early!
That's fine, but why do I have to take a nap for an hour at noon?!

It’s incredible!
(The kids who went to bed early: Whew, Principal Xi said they're still growing and need to get enough sleep every day, otherwise it will affect their development! Even during exams! It's absolutely unacceptable for their sleep schedule to be affected by final exams.)
However, after a day and a night of observation, and seeing many "unlucky guys" who came to give points to the other side, as well as groups of low-level ferocious beasts that seemed to be deliberately coming to their deaths and give away points, Zhou Zhou and his group found out Hei Mo's weakness.

Unable to leave the "safe zone" they "constructed".

Most importantly, the opposing team is very weak.

Their actual combat strength is even inferior to that of the first-year students at Tengfei High School!

They were able to win because of those weird and wonderful things.

This reminded Zhou Zhou of the Treasure Pavilion that his uncle had been talking about every day at home recently.

Inside are defensive formations, confusion formations, basic five-element formations, explosive talismans...

In less than 24 hours, 31 kinds of things appeared on the other side.

Zhou Zhou stood in the darkness, looking at the pitch blackness opposite him, lost in thought.

His companions were still scoffing.

"He even took a nap during the exam and fell asleep before 10 p.m. at night, tsk tsk—"

“This schedule is even more regular than my younger brother’s, who just started elementary school.”

"Did you see that today? That guy number five, the one who chose the female virtual avatar, cried three times already. He's such a scaredy-cat. The slightest noise scares him."

"In comparison, although candidate number eight also chose a female virtual avatar, he is quite bold, and his strength ranks in the middle among those thirteen people."

"I think the weakest one is probably candidate number thirteen, right? I've been watching him all day, and he hasn't really made a move, just been attacking from a distance. And... that pretty boy, tsk tsk tsk, so frail—"

As Zhou Zhou listened to his companion's words, a sudden inspiration struck him.

He stared blankly at the opposite side, as if trying to see the thirteen examinees through the darkness.

Take a nap, go to bed early, and maintain a regular sleep schedule.

Mobilization speeches were given regularly in the morning, noon, and evening.

Two days and two nights of exams have passed, and apart from the thirteen candidates in the red camp, there is still no news of the other candidates.

They are exceptionally familiar with the items in the Treasure Pavilion, but their overall strength is generally low.

Among them, there are two female virtual characters.

Before entering the examination room, Old Chen gave a special reminder: Friendship comes first, exam scores are not important. If you encounter a younger student across from you, be sure to take good care of them and don't let other students bully them.

How could Zhou Zhou not overthink these things?

But how could that school possibly take the joint entrance exam with their higher education institution?
Impossible. Putting aside the age and skill gap, the school itself is simply beyond the reach of their Tengfei Higher Academy!

but……

Zhou Zhou thought of the extremely luxurious prize that the other party had offered.

His breathing suddenly became rapid.

It's not because of the prize for doing well on this exam, but because of the exchange student spot in the future!

If his guess is true, he'll go to that school as an exchange student...

Zhou Zhou closed his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and made a momentous decision. ...

With the exam on its final day, as long as you survive the next ten hours safely, you can leave the exam room with your points.

The morning mist draped the nearby mountains and forests like a thin veil, and glistening dewdrops clung to the tips of the grass blades.

In the distance, the rising sun quietly peeks out from the shadows of the trees.

A gentle breeze blows, carrying the fresh scent of grass, trees, and earth, along with the coolness of the mountains and forests, lightly brushing against my cheeks.

Every blade of grass and every tree is so real.

The little ones have started another busy day.

But this morning, when Gacio was patrolling his “territory” as usual, he found that the breakfast was still fresh.

A living, level-seven alien beast, the Flying Feather Beast, bound with rope and gagged.

How can this not be considered breakfast?

Upon careful counting, there were actually thirteen!
Gacio felt a chill run down his spine. Had he run into a "competitor"?

Could it be that some test takers used the same methods to eliminate other people and the ferocious beasts or strange creatures in the examination room?
However, that would be underestimating them.

Even the most gluttonous Zhu Xia couldn't be tempted by such a "trap" that came to her door!
……

Ten minutes later, Zhu Xia's mouth was watering. "I can eat them! I can eat them! Slurp! These feathered beasts are absolutely fine. I guarantee it with my afternoon tea for the next week." Feathered beasts! She hadn't eaten them since leaving school. The taste in the virtual exam room was 90% the same as in the real world.

Gacio looked very unwell.

Lin Xihe pondered for a moment, "Perhaps the other party really meant no harm. I trust Zhu Xia's sense of food; if he says the Feathered Beast is fine, then it's definitely fine." This was entirely out of affirmation for an ultimate foodie and chef.

The three students who had the best grades in extracurricular interest classes stepped forward to check the results and then shook their heads.

Finally, just to be on the safe side, they still didn't eat the feathered beasts.

Instead, he used talismans to kill the thirteen feathered beasts remotely.

91 points have been credited to your account.

They only took the beast core of the Flying Feather Beast and handed it over to Phil and the other children to inscribe formations on the beast core.

Zhu Xia's coveted Flying Feather Beast form was soaked in an unknown liquid by the cubs, and then Doris, controlling the beast, sent it to various places.

Don't say that ferocious beasts, strange beasts, and exotic plants don't like dead flying beasts. As long as there are enough attractants, everything is negotiable.

Add a little "seven-second ascension" to the appetite stimulant, and the points will surely roll in.

After the beast core was completed, thirteen powerful Thunder Explosion Bombs were freshly produced.

They directly blew out the blue camp candidates who came to gain points from the exam room.

Of course, the ferocious beasts and strange creatures that were lured there were no better off.

Their beast cores were made into new Thunder Explosion Bombs, and the meat with good quality was made into roast meat and meat soup, which went into the little ones' bellies; the meat with average quality was soaked in a special liquid and sent out, which was also exchanged for points and collected by the little ones.

But not a single bit was wasted.

Several perceptive children noticed that there were an unusually large number of strange beasts coming to give points today, and that the strength and level of those beasts were seriously mismatched, as if they were injured.

Not only is the meat delicious and the grade is almost all below level eight, which is exactly within their range, but they also come in waves in a regular line.

They also thoughtfully reserved a rest time for them at noon.

In just half a day, they had collected more points than they had in the previous 24 hours.

The kids are taking a nap.

However, some candidates still cannot rest and have to search for the beasts in various dangerous areas of the examination room!
Once they find a suitable herd of animals, they have to fight them half to death, but they can't kill them; they have to keep them alive and give them the strength to run.

After most of the day, they were exhausted, but their points hadn't increased at all.

Aside from a few companions who managed to eliminate a few examinees and earn some meager rewards while catching the beasts, there were also some who managed to do so.

"I don't know what the captain was thinking, actually giving away points to those candidates on the other side for free."

"I believe the captain has his own ideas. Anyway, listening to the captain is definitely the right thing to do!"

"So who exactly are the candidates on the other side? It seems like both Old Chen and the team leader are treating them quite favorably—"

"...Look at the points leaderboard. The captain has dropped from first to third."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly opened the leaderboard.

1. Number One (Red)
2. Number 13 (Red)

No. 3, No. 99 (Blue)
4. Number 12 (Red)

No. 5, No. 431 (Blue)
No. 6, No. 95 (Blue)
7. Number Nine (Red)
8. Number 7 (Red)
9. Number 8 (Red)
10. Number Three (Red)
...}
Seven out of the top ten were candidates from the red camp.

"...Would you say they've been fed up by our team?"

Just this morning, there were only three people in the top ten on the other side.

"Not only that, the captain also handed over the first and second place to them."

"Is the captain going crazy? Before the exam, he was determined to get first place. How come after watching for a day, he's acting like he's lost his mind and is just handing points to the other team?"

"Is the captain afraid of them?"

"Not at all. To be honest, the other side is quite weak. If it weren't for their endless tricks, we would be completely outmatched by them."

"Could it be... that the other side has a powerful background? Is the captain... trying to curry favor with them?"

Zhou Zhou dragged back an unconscious level eight alien beast. He heard their conversation, but he didn't reply. He only said, "Stop dawdling and get to work. Try to catch more alien beasts this afternoon."

They couldn't help but let out a collective wail.

They were really upset to see the points but not be able to claim them.

Zhou Zhou scoffed, "When have I ever harmed you? Get back to work. If anything happens later... I'll do my best to help you apply."
