Chapter 31: Monthly Examination

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chen Chu had just taken a shower and was about to go to bed. He had to sleep early tonight. After all, tomorrow was the monthly exam. As he dried his hair, he subconsciously turned on the system and was stunned.

A line of text appeared on the system screen:

[You have completed a special mission!]

[Fivefold reward: 15 years of lifespan, ancient martial arts (available)]

[Additional Reward: Cleansing Spell]

[Chant the incantation silently, expend one’s stamina to remove the filth out of thin air.]

Chen Chu was stunned for a moment. He was already used to the System going crazy. However, the reward this time was a little more. The original three years of lifespan became 15 years.

As for ancient martial arts? It was alright, but he did not need to fight with others. It would only enrich his skills column. This will most likely collect dust in his skill column. The Cleansing Spell was not bad. In the future, he would not have to clean and wash the dishes.

Chen Chu realized that he had unknowingly obtained a lot of lifespan and placed it in the system space. If he counted carefully, he actually had 24 years of lifespan. After some thought, he quietly went to his parents’ room and distributed the lifespan to them.

Twelve years for each person. It was visible to the naked eye, but it also seemed like his eyes were playing tricks on him. His parents looked younger.

There were a few other rewards in the system space: a healthy body, cancer medicine, the mouth of the Marrow Cleansing Spring, and the mother bed of the Picometer-level smart industrialization.

He had used everything else. There was only one healthy and young body. Chen Chu didn’t know who to give it to. However, his parents were in good health now, so he might as well leave it aside and think about it in the future.

After leaving his parents’ room, Chen Chu turned on the air conditioner, turned off the lights, and lay down on the bed with a peaceful expression.

At 6:50 a.m. on Tuesday, Chen Chu arrived at school.

What was different was that Chen Chu did not take the bus today. Instead, he rode a bicycle made of carbon fiber. It was unclear whether it was expensive or not. Chen Chu did not investigate, afraid that he would not be willing to ride it after investigating.

In any case, he had to ride a bicycle no matter how expensive it was. He might as well not investigate. On the other hand, this carbon fiber bicycle was very light and stable. Coupled with the unique color combination and handsome structure, it was very eye-catching.

However, when these configurations appeared on a ‘worthless’ bicycle, there was only one word to describe it. It was low-key and handsome.

That was true. In everyone’s hearts, how expensive could a bicycle be? No matter how good-looking it was, how cool the color combination was, and how stylish the structure was, could it exceed a few thousand yuan?

After all, not many people could recognize that this bicycle might be more expensive than a mid-grade car.

After parking his bicycle, Chen Chu went straight to the examination venue, which was the classroom of the first-year students. The examination venue had been allocated yesterday. After the evening self-study session, the students had already posted the candidate’s number on their desks.

It was not troublesome. The teacher distributed the candidate numbers assigned to them. Before class ended, everyone just had to paste them with glue.

Chen Chu took out a gender-neutral pen, a 2B pencil, and other exam supplies. He started to daydream and quietly waited for the exam to begin. However, no one knew that he was currently operating the proficiency interface.

[Riding Level 2 (258/1,000)]

He had just set off from home. The 5.1-kilometer journey to school passed by four bus stops. He would gain one proficiency point for every ten meters. So he had obtained a total of 516 general proficiency points. This way, he could obtain at least 1,000 proficiency points every day. Because he had lunch in the school cafeteria, there was only one ride to and fro.

Not bad, not bad.

Chen Chu was operating the proficiency interface when someone poked him. He turned around. It was a classmate from another class that he wasn’t familiar with. “What’s wrong? Is something the matter?”

That person had a gossipy look on his face. “Chen Chu, I heard that you made a bet with Zhang Geng from Class 17. The total score for the monthly test?”

Chen Chu simply turned around. “As if I have nothing better to do! Whoever wants to compete can compete with him.”

“Eh, no? Didn’t Zhang Geng go around saying that you wanted to compete with him in the evening self-study yesterday?” The person was puzzled.

Chen Chu was speechless. Zhang Geng was really looking for humiliation. Initially, he wanted to give him some leeway. After all, it was not good to get full marks from the beginning. It did not seem necessary now, although it was not necessary in the first place.

The bell rang, and the invigilator arrived at the examination hall. He checked the number of people and distributed the test papers. It was time to review the papers.

After the reviewing time was over, Chen Chu started to answer the questions. It didn’t take long for him to read and examine the questions. He basically finished answering all the questions. There was still an hour and a half until the end of the exam. There was only the last composition paper. Chen Chu pondered for a moment before he wrote.

An hour after the exam ended, Chen Chu raised his hand. “Teacher, I’ll hand in my paper.”

The invigilator was from the school next door. This monthly examination was an interactive exam from the four schools. Out of goodwill, she suggested, “If you’re done, you can check the questions a few more times.”

Chen Chu checked. “Teacher, I’m done checking.”

“This, alright. Hand in the paper and you can leave the examination hall, but please don’t affect the other examinees’ exams.”

Many examinees raised their heads and looked at Chen Chu, stunned that he handed in his paper so quickly. They could not help but feel a little pressured. They quickly looked at the time. There was still an hour before the end of the exam. They immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Chen Chu handed in his paper and left the examination hall, heading home. In the afternoon, he handed in his math paper in advance. Even the form teacher, Old Tang, heard the news and called Chen Chu to ask what was going on.

Chen Chu said honestly, “Teacher, I’m done answering the questions. I’ve also checked. I was bored so I handed in my paper.”

Old Tang was a little helpless. “Alright, but it’s best not to submit the paper in advance and check it a few more times.”

Chen Chu nodded perfunctorily. After hanging up the phone, he did not go home. Instead, he set off from the city and rode to the suburbs. He realized that it was easier and faster to increase his proficiency while riding, and it consumed less stamina.

In the same one and a half hours, jogging could earn 4,000 proficiency points, and riding could earn 5,400 proficiency points.

Chen Chu felt that he had found a new way to obtain proficiency points.

On Wednesday, there was comprehensive science exam in the morning, and foreign language exam in the afternoon.

Just after the exam ended, the examinees rested, but the teachers barely rested at all. Instead, the four schools interactively graded the papers. With the help of the machine and the answer sheet, they worked overtime until late at night to grade all the papers.

The final ranking was out!

The teacher from Experimental High School No. 2 next door was in a daze as he looked at the transcript of the second-year students from Experimental High School No. 1.

First place, total score, 749.

It was nearly full marks…

When did such a monster appear in the Experimental No.1 High School? And it was not Zhang Geng?

Zhang Geng was ranked second with a total score of 701.

The four schools summarized the results and all the schools were dumbfounded.

In the middle of the night, Principal Lin’s phone rang. On the other side was the teacher in charge of reviewing. “Principal, principal, this is great news!”

Principal Lin’s face darkened and his tone was low. “What great news?”

“We have a student with a total score of 749.”

“What?! Which class is he from? Who is he?”

“He’s in Year Two! He’s Chen Chu from Year Two Class Four.”

Bang!

Thursday, School

Before the morning reading class, the students, who usually studied quietly at this time, were no longer as quiet as before. There was a flurry of discussion and chatter. It was even more noisy than the market, and it didn’t allow people to have some peace at all.

Chen Chu walked into the classroom and felt a little helpless. He carried his bag and stood on the podium. “Quiet! Study when you have to. Why are you making so much noise?”

The classroom was silent for a moment. The students were intimidated by Chen Chu and did not dare to speak again. However, girls were bolder in this aspect, especially when the class monitor was a boy. Not to mention, beautiful girls always had such privileges in the class.

They were spoiled. Then, a beautiful girl said, “Class Monitor, don’t you know? An abnormal person with a total score of 749 has appeared in our second year of high school.”
