My health recovery is incredibly fast.

"Among these four branches of alchemy—poisons, oils, medicines, and rare substances—the most difficult is the alchemy of rare substances, followed by the alchemy of poisons."

"You are Professor Kulov's student, so your practical skills in poison alchemy must be quite good."

"Then we just need to focus on the study of rare alchemy."

"The good news is that the exam for Cursed Alchemy will only cover the subject of Megacraft."

Xia Zuo nodded. "Yes, we've only taken the course on the subject of giant creation. We haven't explored the other two branches yet."

Mars swallowed the cherry tomato and spread his hands out:

"One regret is that the anvil and high-temperature furnace used in the study of giant creation are only available in the alchemy section of this discipline."

"Professor Bolton, who teaches this subject, is not easy to communicate with. You probably won't be able to get into his alchemy section."

“I would love to share my insights with you, but my mentor, Professor Bethel, a professor of the Concrete Elements discipline, has given me a gag order.”

"Therefore, I suggest you talk to the students in the field of giant creation and learn from their practical experience in this branch of the discipline."

Xia Zuo shook his head thoughtfully.

"There's one more thing I'll only tell you."

Mars scratched his blond hair. "The final exams for freshmen are quite difficult. Many people may not be able to pass even after repeating the course for six months."

Why? Aren't the exams just based on the content of those 25 books? Xia Zuo blinked in confusion.

Mars understood the other person's eyes:

"Take the simplest subject, functional pharmacy, for example. Its exam lasts for three days, with one book tested each day, and every knowledge point in each book will be tested."

If the full score is 1000, guess what score is needed to pass?

Xia Zuo frowned slightly. "800 points?"

"No, it's too low."

"900 points?"

Mars shook his head. "950 is the passing score, and that's just for one book. There are 25 general education textbooks, and you have to take 25 exams over 25 consecutive days. You have to get a score of 950 on all 25 exams to pass the final exam."

"hiss"

Xia Zuo gasped. Without a cheat code, he might never have passed the exam in his entire life.

He was filled with worry. It wouldn't do if Anru failed her exam. He had to urge the girl to memorize the book again!

Mars leaned forward and lowered his voice:

"You should be glad, Xia Zuo. You have such a good memory, and you're still studying poison alchemy. As long as you get your hands on the practical experience of the giant creation discipline, passing the final exam is a sure thing."

After he finished speaking, he picked up his knife and fork, cut the steak, and began to eat heartily.

"Now that you mention it, I think I'd better not waste my time reading the newspaper."

Xia Zuo stood up and slung his backpack over his shoulder. "I have to go to the Poison Alchemy Zone. Goodbye, Senior Mars, have a good meditation."

Mars mumbled "meat and bone" as he waved, saying indistinctly, "Goodbye. Good luck on your exam."

The Poison Alchemy Zone.

The alchemy room was completely silent.

Xia Zuo put down his schoolbag, walked to the soft sofa, and softly called out to his tutor.

Kurov put down his book and looked at the student with a slightly worried expression, saying, "What's wrong? Having trouble concocting poison?"

"teacher"

Xia Zuo's gaze was complicated.

No professor ever spoke about the specifics of the exam.

If I hadn't happened to meet Mars, I probably wouldn't have known that the passing score was as high as 950 until the exam.

"Teacher, do you have any past exam papers here? I'd like to use them to practice writing."

Kurov stroked the corner of his mustache. "Did a senior student tell you? These kids... don't tell anyone. The Dean plans to tell you in a month."

"However, since you already know... let's start by doing some practice problems."

Kulov pointed to a bookshelf covered with a black cloth. "The past exam questions are there. Go get them yourself. You can't take them outside; you can only do them in the poison alchemy area."

There are still a little over a month and two weeks until the final exams.

The college plans to announce the exam schedule one month from now, two weeks before the exam.

In other words, if you start practicing coding problems now, you'll be about a month ahead of others.

Chapter 22 Supplementary Exam Preparation Materials

Xia Zuo sincerely thanked his mentor and quickly walked to the bookshelf, lifting the black cloth.

"!!!"

A whole cabinet full of exam papers!

The spines of the books are marked with serial numbers, from 1 to 212, totaling 212 sets of exam papers.

He randomly picked a book, opened it to the first question, and searched through his knowledge for four or five seconds before finding the correct answer.

A set of test papers has about 100 pages, with 30 questions on each side of each page. It takes at least 5 minutes to do one page of questions, so it would take more than 500 minutes, or about 9.5 hours, to complete a whole set.

It would take at least 1800 hours to process more than 200 books.

I can only come to the Poison Alchemy Zone in the afternoon and evening each day, and I can stay there for a maximum of 7 hours.

It would take at least 250 days to complete all the test papers.

Xia Zuo felt a tightness in his chest, clutching his robe at his chest, as if a breath was stuck in his chest.

It seems the university is deliberately trying to test the aptitude of its new students.

Releasing the question bank two weeks in advance is just a consolation prize, or rather, a reminder.

Students who are destined to fail should be prepared to fail the course or even be forced to leave the school.

Once Mars finishes practicing meditation, he really needs to thank him properly.

Xia Zuo stood in front of the bookshelf, stroking his chin as he planned his future schedule.

The trainee has completed the training in all poisons and toxins.

We only learned about the antidote for white palate poison. The instructor said they'd teach other antidote formulas later. The final exam won't cover antidotes, so we can leave that part for later.

I've also started to get a feel for the practical experience of the discipline of creating giant objects.

Right now, the most important thing is to practice coding problems like crazy.

Xia Zuo picked up a stack of test papers from the bookshelf, tiptoed around the soft sofa, and went into the small classroom to look through them.

The final exam had a relatively simple question format, consisting only of multiple-choice questions and application problems.

But it will involve all the knowledge points.

He gradually found his rhythm in the sea of ​​questions, working himself to the bone from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. until he was so hungry that he packed up his bag and put the test papers back in their place.

Castle Hall.

Anru waited here for more than ten minutes before finally seeing the passage to the Poison Alchemy Zone open.

Seeing the slightly worried look on her face, she stepped forward and took her hand. "What's wrong? What happened?"

"How did the blending oil class go this afternoon?" Xia Zuo asked with a forced smile.

"Yes! I tried four times and got a score of 90 or above each time."

Xia Zuo rubbed his temples lightly. "It's the weekend, we should be taking a walk to relax. But I've changed my mind and want to review the basic course textbooks again. Will you come with me?"

"Okay."

Anru crossed her arms. "Shall we watch in the restaurant, or go to the small classroom?"

"Watch it from the restaurant."

Xia Zuo nodded, his face resolute.

While doing his practice questions this afternoon, he found himself handling the intensity of the exam with ease and even discerned the patterns in the questions.

This undoubtedly gave him a glimmer of hope in helping Anruer rank up.

Regardless of whether she ultimately passes the exam, I want to try to tutor her.

The two found a quiet corner in the restaurant where there were few people, and started reading after dinner.

Xia Zuo took out the Alchemy Linguistics textbook, circled the key points on it with a pencil, and marked the frequency of the key points appearing in the test paper with numbers.

The more frequently a test point appears, the more marks it will be worth.

From the perspective of the test creator, the frequent use of the same test point in the test means that this test point is very important in this course.

8:30pm.

There was still half an hour until the bedtime set by the castle manager, Dim.

Xia Zuo put down his pencil and stretched his sore wrists.

There are still over 500 pages left to mark the entire book, but the more than 1,000 pages that have already been marked are enough to read.

"Here, use my book to review."

Xia Zuo spread out his alchemical linguistics in front of Anruer, pointing to the numerical symbols on it and saying:

"These test points with numbers exceeding 10 are the ones I think are more important, and you must memorize them. Set aside the other test points with numbers not exceeding 10 for now, and you don't need to memorize them for the time being."

Anruer flipped through a few pages, then suddenly hugged Xia Zuo's shoulders, nuzzling her head against his neck. "Is this your memory method? Why did you tell me..."

"I just wanted to make your studies easier, so please don't tell anyone else."

Xia Zuo removed the other person's arm from her neck and held her hands, "Make sure no one else sees the markings in this book."

"Yes!" An Ru'er pursed her lips tightly, her expression solemn.

"Alright, that's enough for tonight. Take my book back to your dorm."
