Once he finished writing his answer, Meng Chao panted a little.
He checked the answers from start to finish three times before he chose to hand them in.
At that moment, there was only one hour left in the written test.
Many of the bad students were still scribbling away with long faces when they heard the partition in front of them open, and someone walked out.
They could only comfort themselves. 'It must be a bad student who's even worse than me. He's in complete despair and gave up. Otherwise, how could someone hand in their papers an hour early when the national college examination is so difficult?'
When Meng Chao walked out of the examination area, a fragrance wafted into his nose from the canteen.
A temporary tent had been set up in the field, and it was filled with medical cabins.
The written test that lasted for five hours was very difficult. Many of the examinees gritted their teeth and persevered. The moment they walked out of the examination area, they fainted.
Hence, the education department prepared a lot of food, and a large number of doctors were on standby. They used high-calorie nutritional fluid and bioelectricity to massage the examinees in the mobile medical cabins to help them recover.
Meng Chao was the first examinee to hand in his paper, and he received the privilege of having dozens of masters and doctors serving him.
It was also the reason why he handed in his paper early. It was not because he was pretending to be cool, but because he wanted to enjoy more recovery treatment. The practical test was the main event.
He fell asleep in the medical cabin, and it was only then that he heard a ruckus around him. The examinees rushed in in a mess, and in an instant, the temporary tent turned into a market.
Many of them fell into the medical cabins. Some of them did not even manage to make it to the medical cabins and fell limp on the ground. Some of them failed the test and lost control of their emotions. They crouched on the ground and wailed.
"Ace Student Chao, did you hear? There's a really awesome ace student in our examination area. He handed in his paper an hour early. Isn't that a little too crazy?" Fatty Wang Tao ran over excitedly with a group of Ninth High School students.
Meng Chao wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
Wang Tao was a little stunned, and he cried out, "Wow, Ace Student Chao, are you the crazy ace student who handed in his paper an hour early?!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Hundreds of gazes landed on Meng Chao.
Some of the examinees were wearing Construction High School's uniforms. They had seen how strong Meng Chao was during the mental strength test, so they lowered their heads and discussed him.
There were also examinees wearing the uniforms of Dragon City High School and Dragon City Second High School. When they saw that Meng Chao was only wearing Ninth High School's uniform, they could not help but snort in derision. A ace student from Ninth High School? He had to be a bad student who surrendered early!
"Wang Tao, can you lower your voice? Don't have the same problem as Feixiong." Meng Chao felt gloomy.
"I was too excited and exposed your true strength, Ace Student Chao. I wasted your time in pretending to be weak! I'm sorry!"
Wang Tao apologized seriously. He paused for a moment before he said, "Ace Student Chao, since you handed in your paper so early, you must be confident. Come, let's compare the correct answers!"
Meng Chao said, "The exams are over. Is there a need for this? The results will come out soon."
Right now, the national college examination used computers to answer questions and superbrains to grade them. They used big data analysis and artificial intelligence, and in at most an hour, they could get their results.
"Aiya, let's make a comparison. Even if it's only an hour, it's still very torturous!"
This was the mentality of examinees. The earlier they knew the results, the better it would be.
Meng Chao could not argue with them, so he searched for a few rather difficult questions and told them his answers.
These questions were comprehensive questions that combined mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. Without a lot of practical experience, it was very difficult for them to answer all the questions.
Some people did not manage to answer them at all, and that was fine. But some people wrote a long set of answers and thought that they had gotten all the points, but when they listened to Meng Chao's analysis, they realized that their answers were full of loopholes. In fact, they were completely different from the intentions of the person who set the questions. They could not help but beat their chests in frustration.
"Ace Student Chao, you dealt another ten thousand points of damage to our fragile hearts! I hate you!" Wang Tao wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
Meng Chao did not know whether he should laugh or cry. "You're the ones who insisted on matching answers. Aren't you just asking to be tortured?"
"That's right. Matching answers with Ace Student Chao is indeed asking to be tortured. Come, next question!" Everyone wailed. They continued matching questions, and they could not stop.
In an instant, a teacher notified them that the results were out, and they could check the data terminals on the sides of the tent.
"I got 756 marks! Hooray!"
Someone jumped three feet high.
"I got 499 marks, and I'm currently ranked eighty thousand in the city. I wonder if I can get into the university's special line. I'll have to work hard during the practical test later."
But there were also people who were worried.
"I'm currently ranked around sixty-three thousand in the city. Based on the enrollment rate of the universities last year, I still have hope. Everything will depend on the practical test!"
Wang Tao swung his fists, and delight appeared on his face.
The examinees from the other universities were the same. Some were happy, and some were sad. Some were full of fighting spirit, and some were sighing. This formed the complicated main theme of the national college examination.
"Ace Student Chao, you —"
When the students saw that Meng Chao's expression did not change when he checked the data terminals, they could not help but be stunned.
"Could it be that Ace Student Chao didn't do well?" They looked at each other at a loss.
"Wait, I understand. Ace Student Chao is going to pretend to be cool again!"
Wang Tao was the first to react. "He intentionally pretended to be expressionless and waited for us to ask him. Then, he sighed softly and said," Ah, he didn't do well. He's only ranked among the top ten thousand or even five thousand in the city. That must be it, right? Ace Student Chao, I've already seen through you!
"Everyone, don't fall for it. He wants us to ask him, but we won't. We'll just suffocate him to death!"
"…"
Meng Chao found himself speechless. He shut his mouth and stared at Wang Tao.
After staring at each other for half a minute, Fatty surrendered. "I lost. Damn my curiosity. Come on, Ace Student Chao, tell us your results and ranking. You can trample on us to your heart's content!"
"My results were pretty good."
Meng Chao smiled. "939 marks. I'm currently ranked 1,084 in the city."
There was silence.
Then, a volcano erupted in the silence.
The students dragged Wang Tao over and beat him up. "I told you not to ask, but you just had to! Now, everyone has been dealt a mental blow. How are we supposed to take the practical test?"
"I was wrong." Fatty shed tears of regret. "I really shouldn't have provoked Ace Student Chao. I've let everyone down!"
Even though they were messing around, once the examinees learned of their written test results, they still used every second they had to replenish their energy and recover from their fatigue.
After another hour, a bell rang outside, telling them to gather. Dozens of school buses came to take them to the practical test.
"Ace Student Chao, thank you."
The practical test for college and higher vocational colleges were different. Many of the students went their separate ways. Someone found Meng Chao at the last moment before he got on the bus and said sincerely, "If it weren't for you and Chu Feixiong forming a study group and teaching us a lot of brand new force execution methods and talking about monster structures to deepen our understanding of monsters, my written test results wouldn't have been higher by more than thirty marks compared to the mock test.
"My parents have always wanted me to get into Spirit Electricity Engineering School. The minimum passing score is really high. I originally didn't have any hopes, but now, I'm filled with confidence. It's all thanks to your help!"
"Me too, Ace Student Chao! Once the national college examination is over, we'll treat you to a meal!"
"From now on, we'll take care of all your milk tea and supper!"
"That's right. You're definitely going to get into college and become a superhuman. But even if you become a superhuman, we're still brothers. If you need anything, just tell us. We'll definitely help you!"
When Meng Chao saw the students' passionate gazes, warmth surged in his heart.
"Don't worry. Regardless of whether we get into college or higher vocational colleges, we're all fighting for Dragon City. We'll be brothers and sisters for life. In the future, we'll help each other a lot. Now, work hard and fight for your dreams!"
Meng Chao's smile was bright. Under the sunlight, he swung his fist.
…
The school bus sped south.
Red flags fluttered in the wind along the way, and all sorts of banners congratulated the examinees for their great victory.
The people on the bus were all examinees who wanted to get into college.
Half of them were students from First High School, Second High School, and Construction High.
The students from the three famous schools competed against each other with their gazes and auras. Innocent passersby were easily injured.
"I'll have to fight against these monsters later. What a headache!"
Wang Tao looked glum. He cast a glance at Meng Chao, who sat beside him, and said gloomily, "Oh well, I shouldn't have talked about this with you. You're even more of a monster than them!"
Meng Chao smiled faintly and closed his eyes to rest.
In an instant, the bus shuddered and slowed down. The sound of a raging river came from outside the window.
They arrived at Red Dragon River.
The rain was thick, and the Turtles and Snakes surrounded the river. Amid the fog was a winding, raging river that divided Dragon City into the north and south. It lay in front of Meng Chao.
Countless factories and military camps could be seen on the other side of the river. More than one thousand armored airships moved through the colorful fog. They looked like they were preparing for war and were filled with murderous intent.
That was the legendary "Jiangnan District"!
On Earth, Red Dragon River was one of the longest rivers in the world and had the greatest flow of water.
The Red Dragon River was also one of the oldest places of civilization in the country where Dragon City was located.
It was blessed by the heavens, and the two banks of the Red Dragon River once gave birth to a large city with a dense population and developed industry and commerce.
During a few eras where the north and south faced off against each other, the two cities served as important military and industrial bases.
As time passed, the scale of the cities continued expanding, and humans were connected to each other. More bridges and tunnels appeared under the river, and the two cities merged into one to form a metropolis with a population of tens of millions.
Before Dragon City transmigrated, Earth was in an era of change.
The old hegemons became weaker and rotted away, and the new powers rose to power. There was a high possibility that the old and new orders would go off the rails, and all sorts of sudden dangers would cause the conflicts to intensify.
To deal with the war, the country where Dragon City was located carried out a large-scale mobilization and construction in the land.
Countless light and heavy industrial towns and high-tech industrial parks that might be attacked by the enemy moved to the land.
Dragon City was located at the center of the country, so transportation was very convenient.
