Chapter 239 Appendix 15

On their first day here, everyone was probably still a bit emotional, so they all stayed up a little late that night. 11 To take care of Teita, the youngest in the dormitory, the four of them helped him with many things. This kid was obviously used to being pampered. Even when he took a bath, there was a robot to brush his back. The old servant arranged everything for him.

Xilin and the others had seen Teita's room; they had all taken a look after the old servant had finished arranging it. It was fully equipped, so much so that Teita didn't have to lift a finger for many things, only needing to give commands to the housekeeping robots and intelligent systems.

Upon seeing the thick, plush carpet in Teita's room, Gray Cat felt an itch on his back and longed to rub against it immediately. In fact, Gray Cat did just that, but was pulled back by Xilin before going to sleep.

"There are several hidden surveillance cameras in this dormitory. There are three in Teita's room, one in the kitchen, one in the bathroom, and two in the living room..." Gray Cat said listlessly, lying next to Xilin after being dragged back to the room.

The final conclusion was that, except for the room where Xilin and his three companions were not monitored, the rest of the dormitory was being monitored.

"Looks like Teita has quite a powerful background." Xilin scratched the gray cat's chin, thinking about what Teita had mentioned about the Fifth Entrance Examination earlier that day, and then closed his eyes to go to sleep.

Xilin was woken up by the gray cat before he had fallen asleep.

"What?" Xilin didn't even open his eyes.

"That kid can't sleep, probably because he's homesick and doesn't feel used to it?" Gray Cat could also see what was going on in Teita's room through the monitor.

"Now that we're here, we have to get through this."

Ten minutes later.

The cat's paw slapped Xilin's back.

"What's wrong with you now?" Xilin still didn't open his eyes.

"That child seems quite aggrieved, how can you bear to do this?"

"People always learn to be strong while crying; it's a way of growing up."

The gray cat flicked its ears, seemingly unsure whether it had understood.

Another ten minutes.

Xilin suddenly rolled over and opened his eyes. The gray cat in front of him raised its paw, ready to strike again.

"I'm truly impressed by you!"

Meanwhile, on another planet in the capital, in a room within a sprawling castle-like complex, several people were watching the situation in Teita's room displayed on a large screen.

Watching their eight-year-old toddler roll around in bed unable to sleep, the two women kept wiping away tears with handkerchiefs.

"I told you we couldn't send him in so early! Look at him, he can't sleep without being home!"

"Yes, Dad. Teita is still young. You know what kind of place the First Affiliated Hospital is. Besides, Teita doesn't need to take the same path we all take. We can protect him."

"I agree. We should bring Teita back," said another man in military uniform.

Everyone around looked at the man standing in the middle, who, though nearly old, was still exceptionally heroic.

The beautiful woman standing to the side wiped away her tears, glancing at her father who stood stiffly in the center. She thought to herself: "Keep pretending. He's the one who dotes on Teita the most. I don't know what he heard from some people in the military this time, but he impulsively sent Teita over. Now he regrets it more than anyone else, but he hasn't said it out of politeness."

Hearing the comments from those around him, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and decided to take the child back. "He's too young," he thought, "let them say what they want. It's not like he'll lose anything. I'll send him back in a couple of years when Teita is a bit older. I'm sure Teita won't disappoint me. Right now, the child is still too young, too young. It breaks my heart."

Just as the old man was about to speak, the doorbell rang in Teita's room.

Teita sat up abruptly, composed herself, and tried to look less dejected and helpless than before. This made the others watching the screen feel a pang of sadness.

Teita opened the door, and before she could say anything, something was thrown at her. She quickly caught it and saw that it was the gray cat.

Xilin yawned and said to Teita, "This is the cat I'm sending to serve you in bed. It likes your carpet, so let it sleep here. Of course, if you don't want it, just throw it out."

After saying that, Xilin went back to his room to continue sleeping.

Teita stood at the door, blinked, glanced at the gray cat in her arms, closed the door, and went inside.

As soon as they got back to Teita's room, the gray cat couldn't wait to jump onto the carpet and start rubbing itself all over the room. After rubbing itself around once, it looked up and saw Teita staring at it intently. The gray cat got up and shook its fur: "Don't worry about me, you can go to sleep by yourself. I'll guard the door for you." After saying that, the gray cat continued to roll around and rub itself on the carpet.

After the gray cat's antics, Teita's mood improved considerably. After watching it for a while, he took the soft cushion off the bed and sat down next to the cat. The bedroom temperature was set perfectly and was intelligently controlled, so there was no need to worry about catching a cold.

Half an hour later, the person and the cat snuggled up on the stall and fell asleep.

The people in front of the big screen remained silent for a long time. In the end, the old man still didn't take Teita back; he wanted to see Teita's test results first.

The test for the first affiliated hospital finally arrived amidst the anticipation of over a thousand people.

All of these more than a thousand people had referral cards, but they received them at different times. When the number of people who arrived reached the required number, the First Affiliated Hospital began the test countdown.

The first item of the five tests in Appendix 1 is the written test that Teita mentioned.

In the previous stage, those who participated in the test only had one written exam with a three-hour time limit. The questions were few but very difficult. However, this time it was clearly different.

This written exam lasted ten hours with no breaks in between. We had to bring our own food, so apart from going to the toilet, we spent the rest of the time in the exam room.

Each candidate does not know where their seat will be. Everyone gathers in one venue, sits down at will, and then a partition rises from around the chair to cover each person before they are moved to the examination room.

Inside the exam room, you can only see the white partition around you; you can't see what's on the other side. However, people standing outside the exam room can see everything clearly. So, don't try to deceive yourself, or you'll be in big trouble if you get caught.

After everyone was moved to the examination room, they discovered they were facing a thick exam paper. Yes, a whole book. It contained their basic personal information and various test questions.

Xilin glanced at it; the first few lines were basic information, including personal hobbies, what materials they usually read, what online news they follow, and lifestyle habits. Many people try to write positively, unaware that the instructors will use the information they provided to design the test questions. If they discover you've lied, the instructors will make things very difficult for you.

Xilin didn't write much; regarding special skills, he only mentioned shooting, since Guan Feng's gun was there. It would be written down sooner or later.

The basic information about each person can also reflect their level of self-awareness, and the information they fill in can reveal whether they are arrogant or insecure.

However, Xilin didn't know what the standards were for this written test. According to Teita, some people who couldn't write were still admitted.

However, when Xilin wrote the first word, he understood why there was an exam paper this time.

A person's handwriting can reflect certain aspects of that person. Handwriting is a reflection of the person. Furthermore, handwriting can become more vigorous and composed with age and experience.

It varies depending on the time and mood. When I'm in a good mood, my handwriting is neat; when I'm in a bad mood, it's crooked and messy.

The pressure exerted while writing, the structure of strokes, the size of characters, and the degree of cursive writing can all reflect many things. For example, it can reveal a person's habitual force, self-awareness, and the coordination between thought and action. Writing speed is also related to the speed of comprehension, and the layout of the text can reflect the writer's attitude towards the external world.

Of course. There's also mindset. When a person's mindset changes, their handwriting will change accordingly. On this exam paper, many people's handwriting will definitely become increasingly messy as they go on, while others' handwriting will remain largely unchanged throughout. That's the difference.

After filling in the basic information, Xilin began to look through the opening questions. This was Xilin's habit. Back in Qiyao, even if he didn't write by hand, he would first look through all the questions before starting to work on them.

The first question was a definition of terms. It was a familiar question type, but looking at five whole pages of definitions, Xilin felt a long-forgotten sense of bewilderment. Ninety-nine percent of the words were obscure; Xilin had never heard of these words since arriving in the Lansa Empire.

Continue flipping through the pages: Q&A, calculations, discussions...

I'm sorry, there are no multiple-choice or true/false questions here. If you don't know the answer, you don't know the answer. You can't guess like you can with multiple-choice or true/false questions. And as Teita said, these questions cover a wide range of topics, from the formation of the universe, quantum mechanics, evolutionary history, molecular formulas to human reproduction, positive and abnormal physiological indicators, and ancient questions like which came first, the chicken or the egg.

When Xilin turned to the fifth question from the bottom on the third-to-last page, he raised an eyebrow.

There was only a short, inconspicuous line of text: "Choose any thirty questions from the above list to answer; no extra points will be awarded for answering more."

Often, such words appear either at the beginning or the end of an exam paper, but what's unusual is that this one appears on the third-to-last page of this exam paper, in the fifth question from the bottom, making it almost impossible to notice.

I wonder how many people will ultimately be discouraged by this statement.

Xilin shook his head and continued looking at the questions. The later questions were all similar, except for the last one. After confirming that there were no other hidden meanings, Xilin began to write.

Two hours later, Xilin finished the first thirty questions and the rest of the questions, leaving only the last question.

The last question is as follows: If you feel that the above questions do not showcase your unique characteristics or abilities, please feel free to elaborate here.

After thinking for a while, Xilin suddenly had a whim and drew a cat in the answer area of ​​this question, a round cat holding a piece of dried fish cake in its mouth.

After finishing the questions, Xilin didn't rush to hand in his paper. He checked it once and then lay down on the table to catch up on sleep. He felt that the tests at the affiliated high school would be very energy-consuming, so he wanted to conserve his energy in advance.

There were some tutors from the First and Second Affiliated Universities walking around the examination room. They could clearly see the small actions of the candidates inside. Some were warned, and some points were deducted, but none of them were disqualified on the spot.

There were others like Xilin who finished the exam early; they either handed in their papers early or, like Xilin, simply lay down and slept. So Xilin wasn't particularly outstanding among them. However, those who completed the exam within three hours had their records kept by the examiners.

Xilin was woken up by the end-of-exam bell. After leaving the exam hall, she met up with Libero and the others at the agreed-upon location.

Judging from Li Bello and Tie Tou's expressions, they probably didn't see that sentence on the third-to-last page. They're still quite dejected. Wei Lai remains carefree, while Teita, though he didn't see the sentence, has a good attitude; he's passed the exam, so he doesn't feel much pressure.

The candidates who had just finished the first round of written tests were not given much time before the aircraft transported them to a location for the next round of testing.

Stress tests are used to assess candidates' physical responses to stress, such as recovery ability, immune tolerance, and physiological responses under conditions of hypoxia and hypotension. The tests also examine candidates' physical limits and physiological deficiencies. Test results are graded from highest to lowest into five levels: S, A, B, C, and D. However, the final results of the tests are unknown to the candidates.

Under such stress, people of different races will reveal another side of themselves, displaying the characteristics of their other half's bloodline. However, this is all kept secret; apart from the responsible instructors, the candidates are unaware of the situation of others.

After undergoing a series of tests, including basic drug allergy testing, wound healing testing, and low oxygen and low blood pressure heart rate tests, the person in charge of the tests wrote an "s" on Xilin's final test rating after Xilin left.

As Xilin had predicted, the candidates were given very little rest time. After the second round of testing, they were sent to another location on the planet for a third round. This time, Xilin noticed that the number of candidates was slightly less—not by much, but by more than fifty.

The third round of testing, also known as the three-item test, involves candidates choosing three items from a pool of test subjects. Xilin chose shooting, close combat, and parts assembly.

The reason for choosing these three items is not because Xilin is most confident in them, but because these three items are known to others. At least, Guan Feng certainly knows them.

Needless to say, the parts assembly was completed quickly. The people in charge of that parts assembly section also studied the components that Xilin assembled, and then wrote a long comment on Xilin's test results. As for what they wrote, Xilin had no idea.

In close combat, Xilin encountered a massive opponent with an iron head. This man excelled in strength; a single punch could dent even reinforced ground, leaving him unscathed as he continued his attack. Initially, Xilin adopted a defensive strategy, not rushing into offense. Only after gaining a general understanding of the giant's strength and allowing him to demonstrate his full capabilities did he end the fight with a single blow.

The last activity was shooting, and many people chose shooting; Xilin even had to queue up.

Unlike the previous tests, shooting is semi-public, allowing candidates who choose shooting to see the designs of others at the shooting range.

There were many excellent shooters, and each candidate showcased their best skills. However, a phenomenon occurred at the shooting range: while the candidates cheered enthusiastically, the instructors in charge didn't react much.
