"-200 points, how did these students get so many basic questions wrong?"

"Who knows? But this batch of students will be eliminated."

Two hours and ten minutes before the written test began, the first batch of elimination lists had already appeared.

Although the names and examination numbers of these candidates will not be published in the elimination list, their names can be seen on the scrolling screen rankings.

In the first ten minutes, more than a hundred candidates with negative scores were eliminated.

Jiang He was unaware of her ranking.

She could only see the number of people eliminated from the admission ticket.

With her score close to zero, Jiang He felt confident about the time allotted for the exam.

The first ten minutes passed, then the second ten minutes passed again, and the elimination mark still did not appear on Jiang He's screen or on her admission ticket connected to the examination room.

The number of people eliminated reached 200.

If someone were to search for the name Jiang He, they would find that she is ranked around the ten thousandth.

There are a total of 15,000 candidates taking the college entrance examination in Beihuai City this year. 1,000 of them are from Beihuai No.1 Middle School, 1,000 are from the neighboring Yunshan Experimental Middle School, and the rest are cultivators from non-key schools and independent cultivators.

Jiang He's ranking is indeed a very dangerous situation.

The exam lasts about a day. Of the 15,000 participants, only 2,000 will pass the written exam. The rest will be eliminated, and those eliminated will not be able to participate in the subsequent martial arts and group exams.

According to the exam elimination rules, if the ranking remains unchanged, Jiang He will be eliminated in eight hours.

However, the rankings change in real time, which means that if Jiang He wants to survive, she must answer enough questions correctly to get points.

Until her ranking remained consistently within the top 2000.

Even with this thought in mind, Jiang He still didn't start the quiz mode.

Instead, it remains unchanged.

At this moment, Jiang He thought of Rule Six.

One hundred people are eliminated every ten minutes during the exam, meaning that cheating candidates will also be counted among these one hundred.

Anyone caught cheating will be eliminated regardless of their score.

Jiang He looked around the classroom and successfully spotted the retro-style camera on the roof and the restless test-takers around her.

Rule Six must have been seen by someone before she entered the examination room, but Jiang He didn't expect that even though she had destroyed it, there were still so many students cheating around her.

It seems someone passed this message out after seeing Rule Six.

Nearly a third of the students in the classroom were cheating. Their cheating methods weren't particularly sophisticated, but they successfully fooled the cameras and weren't eliminated.

As Jiang He turned her head, a robot approached her.

"Attention Candidate No. 4888: Do not look around during the exam, otherwise it will be treated as cheating."

Even the robots were so strict. Jiang He didn't expect that she would be alerted just for glancing at the screen, while the other cheating candidates still didn't receive any alerts.

Jiang He kept observing the trajectory of the robot and the camera out of the corner of his eye, and finally discovered the pattern after an hour.

These test takers will not trigger any alerts as long as they are not directly in front of the robot or scanned by the camera while cheating.

What's even more interesting is that Jiang He discovered during the observation process that the robot is very sensitive to sound. If someone sneezes or drinks water, the robot will quickly turn its head to check the situation.

An hour passed, and Jiang He still hadn't started writing.

A plan was slowly taking shape in her mind.

Since she cannot stop others from cheating, she can become a "whistleblower".

Before entering the classroom, Jiang He looked around at the map of the entire teaching building. From the outside window, it looked like there were about a thousand people in each classroom.

Jiang He silently replayed the classroom seating chart in her mind, then began to release fire elemental energy with one hand while absorbing wind elemental energy from the air with the other.

One hundred robots patrolled a designated area within the classroom. Jiang He silently prepared herself:

"Fire! Start the fire!"

After Jiang He finished reciting, a burst of light instantly appeared above the heads of the cheating examinees she had seen out of the corner of her eye.

At the same time, Jiang He's wind spirit energy was fully charged. If she guessed correctly, these desks and chairs were all made of wood and were not of very good quality.

As a result, the corners of a large number of tables and chairs were cut by Jiang He's wind spirit power, causing the chairs to tilt and make a piercing sound.

The fire elemental energy spontaneously combusted the moment it came into contact with the hair!

Why did my chair collapse?

"Where did this fire come from? Who's the blind fool who set this fire?!"

"What the hell? Why is there fire?"

"What a lousy chair."

……

A cacophony of sounds arose, with many people cursing in response to Jiang He's move. Some were so engrossed in putting out the fire that they made quite a commotion, while others saw their tables and chairs collapsing with sharp scraping sounds.

All of these sounds were captured by the robots, and within a millisecond, all the robots turned their heads toward the source of the sounds.

With the arrival of so many robots, many cheaters who were using electronic devices or peeking around were caught red-handed.

No one around was cheating, so they just watched as the robots carried out the exam papers and announced the elimination results.

The fact that so many cheaters were caught made them very anxious.

The cheaters shouted even louder, their voices filled with resentment:

"Rule Six states that cheating is allowed, and I haven't broken any rules!"

"Why am I the only one being arrested? Other people are cheating too! I'm going to report them!"

"If I find out who started this fire, I'll make them regret it!"

……

Unfortunately, no matter how loudly they spoke, the robot remained unmoved.

This made Jiang He even more certain of the feasibility of Rule Six.

Cheating is defined as any unobservable act of cheating.

If she wasn't mistaken, there were already 300 people taken away. It seems that eliminating 100 people in 10 minutes is just the lower limit of the range.

Ten minutes later, the number of eliminated candidates on the admission ticket was updated:

562 candidates have been eliminated.

Of the 562 candidates, excluding the 200 eliminated in the first 20 minutes, the remaining number was roughly the same as the number Jiang He had seen. In other words, once the number of cheating candidates reached 100, the candidates with the lowest scores would no longer be eliminated.

In other words, candidates who cheat will be eliminated at a higher priority than candidates whose scores rank in the bottom 100.

After these people were taken away, even if someone heard about the so-called sixth rule, not many people dared to cheat anymore.

Everyone temporarily quieted down.

Only a few daring individuals remained who were still cheating, including Jiang He.

Nonsense, the robots are all gone. If we don't cheat now, when will we ever have such a good opportunity again?

Jiang He immediately picked up the electronic devices that the candidates had used to cheat and entered the questions into them.

In this way, the answer becomes clear.

However, Jiang He realized something was wrong after answering just two questions.

The answers provided on these electronic devices are wrong!

Jiang He didn't get any points; in fact, she lost 2 points!

Jiang He was speechless. Before the robot returned, she put the electronic device back where it was.
