Chapter 189 Another Exam

With endless anticipation for summer vacation, the day of the exams arrived.

In the school classroom, three Pixiu (mythical creatures) squatted side by side on the desk, surrounded by most of the students in the class.

Yue Tian stepped forward, solemnly picked up three pencils, and stuck them into the flowerpot in front of them, praying for good fortune and success in the exams!

May good fortune bless you and may your exams go smoothly!

The students chanted in unison, their expressions devout, their voices echoing throughout the classroom, as if a solemn religious ceremony were being held!

"What are they doing?" Several Xie Zhi clones passing by the door stared blankly at what was happening in the classroom, wondering several times if it was some kind of cult or pyramid scheme and they were about to rush in.

However, Xie Xiaolan was among them. She knew the strange things in this class quite well, and explained to the other basketball players, "It's okay, don't worry about it. They have a lucky beast in their class, and they're here to pray for good luck on the exam."

"But this is too much..." A basketball hesitated, unable to finish its sentence.

"Besides, only the Pixiu is considered an auspicious beast in the class, and they don't actually manage these things," another basketball player chimed in.

"I don't know, but I guess I won't lose anything anyway, so I'll just offer a little prayer."

Not only them, but even the three worshipped brothers themselves felt that this was too abstract!

Bai Jie watched as his classmates took turns offering their pens as incense and praying to the Pixiu (a mythical creature in Chinese mythology associated with wealth and power), and couldn't help but twitch his lips. What started as a few academically challenged students praying to the class's mythical beast for passing their exams had always turned into a source of inspiration once the boys got together.

No one knows who came up with the idea of ​​holding a more formal ceremony, but when the three brothers realized it, they, as legitimate Pixiu auspicious beasts, were chosen to play the role of living deities.

All I want to say is, can I not participate because I have social anxiety?

Tianlu Bixie was also embarrassed, sweating profusely.

This was already manageable, but the next three beasts that came up made them even more unbearable! Walnut, Qiong Xiaoqi, and Taotie all had burnt faces! And they even looked like they were devoutly worshipping Buddha. Who could stand that?

"There's really no need for such a grand gesture..." Even with Tianlu's thick skin, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, his awkward claws almost digging through the table.

"Hey, Tianlu, don't mess around. Only sincerity works." Walnut's little face was serious, clearly treating this as a game.

He respectfully took out a box of dried fish and placed it on his desk. Then he bowed deeply, closed his eyes, and prayed earnestly, "May the Pixiu above bless Walnut to get a perfect score on the exam!"

Qiong Xiaoqi, who had just finished praying, saw this scene and couldn't help but complain, "I'm not a crybaby, are you making offerings here? Pixiu only takes in and doesn't give out, so once you make offerings, you can't get them back."

And you know what? His words really came true. Tianlu's eyes lit up when he saw the food, and he even glared at the person who had been slandered, saying angrily, "Go away, if you don't want to worship Buddha, then don't go up!"

"Oh my god! The auspicious beast has shown its power, he's doomed, he definitely won't pass!" The surrounding students cheered.

Upon hearing this, Qiong Xiaoqi curled his lip and immediately grabbed Tao Xiaowu and left, saying, "Hmph, who cares? Let's go!"

"Hey, hey, I haven't finished praying yet!"

"What are you worshipping? They're all divine beasts, I refuse to believe we're any worse than them! Besides, we're on the same side, you're not allowed to defect to the enemy!"

Taotie was speechless: Didn't you just go and pray too?

Tianlu ignored all these changes. After chasing away Qiong Xiaoqi, he proudly placed his paw on Walnut's forehead and said, "Don't worry, for the sake of our good brotherhood, I'll definitely make sure you pass the exam!"

As he spoke, he subtly moved the dried fish closer to himself.

Bai Jie and Bi Xie glanced at him sideways at the same time: Tian Lu, where is your integrity?

The onlookers suddenly understood: They got it! Only by offering tribute could they receive auspicious blessings!

So from then on, every beast that came to worship the Pixiu would be offered some food. Bai Jie and Bi Xie wished they could disappear into a crack in the ground.

As for Tianlu... he no longer cared!

It doesn't matter if it's awkward or not, as long as there's food!

"Hehehe, so much delicious food~" He laughed like a dog weighing over ten pounds.

"Lord Pixiu, this is my favorite food. My name is Baiwu, please bless me to pass my exam." A white cat offered a beautifully packaged snack.

Without a second thought, Tianlu accepted it and readily agreed, "Haha, of course, no problem with food! It looks so exquisite, let me see what it is?"

"what!!"

With a scream, he was so startled that he flung the box away as soon as he opened it.

only because……

"Hey! Lord Pixiu, what happened to you? Fish eyes are delicious."

Amidst the clear white sky, a package that had been flung away scattered countless eyeballs! Bixie saw one eyeball fall right in front of him, rolling away until its pupil was directly facing him, the pale eyeball showing visible blood vessels. Even with his strong willpower, his eyelids twitched.

Bai Jie and the other students around him were so frightened that they let out a sharp, loud bang! The classroom instantly descended into chaos!

The worship ceremony concluded with the arrival of the mythical creature Xie Zhi. Incidentally, all the snacks were confiscated and could only be retrieved after school. Bai Wu, in particular, received a severe reprimand for bringing fish eyes to school and frightening his classmates.

Tianlu cried.

The white crow cried and wailed.

……

"The exam begins."

When the exam papers for the first period were handed out, Bai Jie unsurprisingly received questions that were beyond the syllabus. But he wasn't flustered at all. Ever since Tian Lu had shown off by randomly filling in all the multiple-choice questions correctly last time, he had opened up his thinking. Before today's exam, he specifically went to guess the types of questions that might be on the exam and reviewed them.

In addition, the brain that this world had given him was already very good.

This wave is stable!

Time flew by, and the first half of the exam went smoothly. But in the second half, most of the good students had finished their papers, and all sorts of troublemakers began to stir.

After finishing his test, Bai Jie started watching the spectacle. Now, everyone in the class knew he had done questions beyond the syllabus, so there wouldn't be a repeat of the embarrassing incident last time where someone even tried to peek at his answers. Because of this, even if he looked around, he wouldn't be accused of cheating, allowing him to enjoy the show.

"Ugh...ugh!"

Suddenly, a retching sound came from beside him. Bai Jie turned his head and saw that it was Tian Lu? At this moment, he was sticking his fingers down his throat, as if trying to vomit something.

"What are you doing?" Bai Jie asked, bewildered.

Tianlu stretched its claws into its mouth again, but found it couldn't spit anything out, so it had to give up.

"I swallowed the cheat sheet, and now I can't get it out." He looked pitifully at his two brothers.

Bai Jie's brain went blank, and even Bi Xie was drawn to look at him sideways. Even Xie Zhi glanced over... then looked away! Tian Lu successfully used his touchingly low IQ to make the proctor realize he was about to cheat, but couldn't even muster the slightest thought to discipline him.

"Stupid Tianlu, even walnuts know that once you eat something, you can't spit it out, huh?" Even the walnut in the front row couldn't help but turn around and complain.

Tianlu was struck dumb.

I was mocked by a child?!

Bai Jie and Bi Xie couldn't bear to look at it. They were also puzzled. Where had Tian Lu been all these thousands of years? How could he still do something so clever?

"Why don't you two come into my stomach and take out the cheat sheet?" Tianlu was unwilling to give up. He wanted to prove his idea, so he looked at his two brothers with hopeful eyes.

however……

"No, you'll be discovered immediately." Bixie refused his younger brother's request without hesitation.

The main problem is that this idea is really unreliable. Not only is it 100% exposed, but the Xie Zhi is right there listening! If someone were to actually carry out such a loud conspiracy, they would definitely have their head stuck in a door... Tianlu is an exception.

"Okay..." Tianlu was very disappointed at being treated as an exception. Since unorthodox methods were no good, he had no choice but to obediently do the test.

Apart from Tianlu, a fool that even the Xie Zhi (a mythical beast) wouldn't bother with, the other beasts' cheating methods were much more normal and sophisticated.

One of the few human boys in the class raised his hand to go to the toilet. Seeing this, Qiong Xiaoqi waited for a while, and after the boy returned and a little while later, he also raised his paw to indicate that he needed to relieve himself.

"Go."

Without making a sound, Qiong Xiaoqi excitedly pulled out a notebook and exclaimed, "Hahaha, it wasn't for nothing that I managed to get that little bit of payback from my dad! These snacks were worth it, I'm guaranteed to pass the exam, I don't need any blessings at all!"

He laughed heartily. He explained that he and his classmate had arranged to place the notebook there beforehand to pass on the answers.

Qiong Xiaoqi was eager to turn the page when, just then, two soft coughs suddenly sounded behind him.

"Cough cough."

His body stiffened abruptly. After a moment, he slowly turned his head... and saw a clone of a Xie Zhi staring at him solemnly, clearly one of the few that had passed by the door when he worshipped the Pixiu earlier.

Soon after, Bai Jie saw Qiong Xiaoqi being dragged back to the classroom dejectedly by a basketball. Xie Zhi communicated with his clone for a moment, then said a few words to the boy who had gone to the toilet earlier, and the boy immediately looked miserable as well.

"Cheating on the exam will result in a five-point deduction."

……

"Hey buddy, why won't you give up? You've been battling with Teacher Xie for so long and you've never won." Taotie scolded his brother as he returned to his seat.

"That's still better than you always taking sides with the other side! Humph, it's none of your business!" After throwing a small tantrum, Qiong Xiaoqi angrily sat down and buried himself in the test paper. However, this test was math, and when the beast got desperate, he could do anything except math.
