Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Tang Zhen admitted that there was an element of gambling in his actions. He didn't believe that he would be disqualified from the exam just by entering the room, so he went straight into the exam room.

After entering the examination room through the main entrance, he saw the proctor sitting in a chair, who was swiping his personal terminal. When he saw him come in, the proctor looked up to confirm his presence.

"Candidate number 26, right?" Zhao Jiu glanced at the number on his training uniform and confirmed the message Huo Xuan had sent him. "Let's go, I'll take you into the examination room."

Tang Zhen first observed the examination room without making a sound. There was an open space inside the main gate. A few steps forward, there was a small door. After opening the small door, there was an open space in front of him, and a wall that was not very clear in front of the open space.

Zhao Jiu was about to leave after dropping the person off when Tang Zhen stopped him: "Teacher, where is this place?"

"This is the center of the exam room. There's a supply point next to it. I remember you guys are in negative points right now, so hurry up and get some points." After saying that, Zhao Jiu ignored Tang Zhen and left for good.

Tang Zhen bit her lower lip, feeling that the proctor was looking down on her. But she had just been valued by Instructor Huo and was ranked alongside school celebrities like Chu Deng and Pei Hanxing. Why was he treating her so badly?

However, Tang Zhen did not realize that he felt that the other party looked down on him, and he himself looked down on others. He subconsciously ignored Meng Qiuhe, who always ranked low in the exams.

"What's he trying to achieve by doing that? He can't even wait 15 minutes, his obedience is appalling." Zhao Jiu, who had just walked away, was indignant on Huo Xuan's behalf. "He was just asking me questions with such an arrogant look on his face, anyone who didn't know better would think he was a teacher!"

"Alright, alright, why bother arguing with a little kid? Let him learn a lesson this time. Don't give him the props yet, wait until those three come in." Huo Xuan chuckled twice after hearing Zhao Jiu's voice before instructing him.

“Okay.” Zhao Jiu thought about it and agreed. It was pointless to argue with a child, so he sat back down and continued using his personal terminal.

Eight o'clock arrived in the blink of an eye.

Chu Deng had no intention of probing Pei Hanxing's secret, and Pei Hanxing did not continue the topic of the blue potion. The two tacitly avoided each other's gazes and fell silent.

The three remained silent for a while. Unable to contain his impatience, Meng Qiuhe started talking about the monthly exam results. Pei Hanxing simply nodded without saying a word, which made Chu Deng laugh.

Seeing that it was time, Chu Deng, worried about the exam, took the lead and entered through the main gate.

Seeing the three students enter one after another, and confirming their numbers—numbers 1, 54, and 2—Zhao Jiu didn't waste any words and pulled out a stack of cards from his pocket.

"Because you have waited for 'thirty minutes,' each person can take ten scorecards. You can add or subtract points, it's up to you. The instructions are on the card."

All three noticed that he emphasized "thirty minutes," and knew that Tang Zhen probably wouldn't receive that compensation.

Chu Deng glanced at the card in Zhao Jiu's hand, then held it up with her palm facing up to one side.

Zhao Jiu smiled and glanced at Chu Deng, placing the card in Chu Deng's palm. "Go through the small door and you'll find the center point."

Chu Deng nodded: "Thank you, teacher."

After saying that, Chu Deng's figure quickly disappeared through the small door.

"Xing, which one do you choose?" Meng Qiuhe asked, but before Pei Hanxing could answer, he said his own choice, "Teacher, I choose the deduction card! I'm going to be the one to have fun. Anyway, I'm already in debt, so I'll settle my scores today!"

After saying that, Meng Qiuhe even urged her friend to join her, saying, "Choose the deduction card, choose the deduction card, choose the deduction card, choose the deduction card..."

Pei Hanxing sighed helplessly, "Fine, choose the deduction card."

"Yay!" Meng Qiuhe cheered.

Zhao Jiu handed the two deduction cards to them. "Well, a smart choice. Do your best on the exam. I'm looking forward to your results."

Zhao Jiu and Huo Xuan had a good relationship. Knowing that the two of them were improving their physiques quickly, Zhao Jiu estimated that he would see them at the base soon. He said a few words of encouragement and watched them enter through the small gate.

The moment the small door closed, all the candidates in the examination room heard the new broadcast message.

"Announcement: Attention candidates: Candidate No. 1 should bring ten bonus point cards into the examination room, while candidates No. 2 and No. 54 should each bring ten deduction point cards into the examination room. Please take appropriate measures."

The announcement was repeated three times, making Meng Qiuhe shake his head: "No, the instructor is really heartless! He just exposed the three of us like this? But Chu Deng chose the bonus card, so she's probably going to be surrounded and attacked, right?"

"Let's run laps to rack up points while looking for people. It'll be easier to stick our cards to people where there are a lot of them." Pei Hanxing stretched her limbs, and seeing that Chu Deng was long gone, she randomly chose a path to run on.

"Okay, let's get rid of the negative points first, and then find those guys to get revenge on as we run!" Meng Qiuhe completely agreed and followed Pei Hanxing.

With ten bonus cards in hand, Chu Deng knew that Huo Xuan wouldn't let the three of them off the hook. She didn't hesitate when choosing the cards, as she didn't know how Jin Xiaoyue had done on the exam.

As soon as Chu Deng saw the scorecard with points added and deducted, she knew how chaotic it must be. In her opinion, there might be students in the regular classes who would honestly run laps to accumulate points, but in the minds of the students in Classes 1 and 2, why not take the shortcut if there is one? So most of them were obsessed with the rules of the scorecard, and running laps was probably a minority.

While most people are focused on the point deduction cards during the exam, those running in circles are also affected. After all, the exam room is circular, and you'll encounter people no matter which path you choose. When you encounter people, you have to be careful that they don't deduct your points. Just stick your card on the scoring device for three seconds; it's not difficult whether you stick it on secretly or openly.

If Jin Xiaoyue loses too many points during the thirty minutes Chu Deng is away, these ten bonus cards, totaling 30 points, can save Jin Xiaoyue a lot of effort.

Chu Deng is currently focused on running around while searching for Jin Xiaoyue.

Her own score could be raised quickly. If Chu Deng wanted to, she could activate her senses and know everyone's location. Although she couldn't match who was who, she could still avoid people.

But there's no need for that. She won't bully anyone who dares to try and steal from her, but she won't let them leave easily either. It's fun to play within the rules.

Chu Deng stepped onto the wall with ease, picked up a deduction card from the wall, and thought to herself.

The moment Chu Deng landed on the other side of the wall, she put the deduction card in the pocket on her waist and continued running along the road surrounded by the wall, passing by several people through the wall.

She didn't activate her senses, but she could hear footsteps when they got close, making it relatively easy to ignore them.

If it weren't for the fear of attracting too much attention, Chu Deng would have liked to run directly on the wall, which would have been faster and easier to find Jin Xiaoyue.

Chu Deng first ran from the center to the outer perimeter, then ran a lap around the perimeter. In the middle, she saw several candidates who were running and stopping. She blocked her own number, casually walked past the exhausted people, and continued running from Gate 4 to Gate 8 on the opposite side, and then from Gate 1 to Gate 5 on the opposite side. She left everyone she encountered on the straight track by jumping over the wall. No one even saw Chu Deng's shadow.

Chu Deng had no choice but to run along the outer perimeter, checking all eight gates several times. Feeling unlucky, he couldn't see Jin Xiaoyue after running around several times. So he waited at one gate to see what the situation was like.
