Demon King, Don’t Run Away

Chapter 143: Good fortune never comes in pairs

Views:

The magician who was maintaining order reappeared over the high wall, and the riot soon subsided. People lined up in an orderly manner and handed their admission tickets to the staff.

After verifying that the document information was correct, the staff member skillfully took out an envelope from the package and handed it back along with the admission ticket.

Inside the envelope is the transcript.

Some people couldn't wait to tear open the envelope, take out the transcript inside, and repeatedly check their grades as soon as they got it.

Most of them had frowned brows and were in low spirits. Their hands clenched tightly around their report cards were trembling slightly. For a moment, they found it difficult to accept the result.

The more extreme ones would tear up the report card and leave angrily, completely disregarding the feelings of the cleaner. Then, they would be electrocuted by the magician who was cleaning and fined.

It is true that good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly.

Only a very small number of people showed unprecedented happy smiles on their faces. They finally got admitted to the library. They cried with joy, cheered loudly, and ran around to tell others.

Those who didn't open the envelope held it tightly. They would find a corner where no one was, or a place where they could calm down, and then slowly open it.

Most of these people are unsure about their grades and are afraid that their emotions will get out of control in front of the public, so they choose to leave quietly with their transcripts.

Bai Jin, Yang Yu and Shu Jing did not open the envelope.

Yang Yu was naturally aware of his own grades. Even without looking at them, he knew that the library would never admit a poor student like him who scribbled on test papers and did not take exams seriously.

The remaining question is whether the people in the library will generously give him a zero, allowing him to gain the honor of being the worst student in the Library of All Things.

Bai Jin and Shu Jing were both unsure about their results, so they decided to go back to the hotel and open the books slowly.

Before leaving, Yang Yu noticed that Elder Li Yan was staring at him with a gaze like a giant dragon. He looked up and found that Li Yan was looking at him closely again.

"It seems that my zero-score operation has successfully attracted the attention of a big shot in the library. Although, this zero score is unavoidable."

With a confident smile at Elder Li Yan, Yang Yu disappeared into the crowd with Bai Jin and Shu Jing.

Return to the hotel.

Bai Jin took out the envelope tremblingly, took a deep breath, tried to calm her excitement, slowly tore open a corner of the envelope, and gently pulled it. The crisp rustling sound was very harsh in the empty hotel.

Yang Yu sat next to Bai Jin and tilted his head to look at her. "Don't waste time. The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn."

"I'm not mentally prepared yet." Halfway through tearing, Bai Jin held her chest and steadied her breathing, "It has to be done slowly, slowly."

"Slowly changing nothing will change anything, I will help you."

Yang Yu held the envelope with his left hand, and tore it open from the other corner with his right hand, pulling out a thin piece of paper.

"The fill-in-the-blank questions are worth 48 points, the short-answer questions are worth 46 points, and the subjective questions are worth 72 points, for a total of 166 points."

The specific scores for each question were presented in a table. Bai Jin's knowledge was really broad, and her answers to the short-answer questions and subjective questions were basically above four points. Even if she couldn't answer all of them correctly, she could still give a rough answer, which was completely different from Yang Yu.

"Not bad, Bai Jin, you actually scored 166 points. 166 points should be good enough."

Glancing at the last evaluation column, Yang Yu was shocked to see the three big words "Unqualified" written there.

"Failed? A score of 166 out of 200 is still a failure?"

"Huh?" Bai Jin was also surprised. "What's going on? I thought the score should be higher than this. Besides, considering the difficulty of this kind of questions, my score should be qualified, right?"

Shu Jing's mother was very surprised. "The passing score for the library is 180 points. Don't you know that?"

One hundred and eighty points

This was the first time Yang Yu heard of it.

With such a large exam scope, he initially thought that he could get into the library as long as he easily scored 120 points. However, he never expected that he would need a high score of 180.

Not only do you have to read so many books, but you also have to memorize all the knowledge points and answer questions with a correct rate of more than 90% in order to be admitted to the library.

Generally, there are only two words to describe people who are admitted to the Library of Everything.

Straight A student.

Those are two words that Yang Yu will never be able to achieve.

Forget it, if it's dead, it's dead, don't think about it. If the literary method doesn't work, then use the force.

During this exam, Yang Yu also did some research on the library's strength. Along the way, he saw many members with more than two stars and had a general understanding of their strength.

Most of the two to three-star library members are magicians with an intelligence between 700 and 1200, and their fragile characteristics are obvious.

As long as he doesn't meet a genius like Dianwen or some old monster, he should still be able to fight.

Rekindling his confidence and taking the martial arts exam into consideration, Yang Yu turned his gaze to Shu Jing who was sitting opposite him in order to obtain more information about the exam and make adequate preparations.

Shu Jing took out her report card from the envelope, took just a glance at it, then folded it up and put it back into the envelope, holding the envelope tightly until it gradually turned pale.

He looked up at the plain ceiling, then at his parents who had been guarding him, and an extremely helpless smile appeared on his face. In a second, he was forced to despair, and his tears flowed out drop by drop.

The result is self-evident.

Before receiving the transcript, Shu Jing had a vague feeling about the result.

Because he was too nervous, his mind went blank when he got the test paper. He was in a trance for nearly seven or eight minutes before he suddenly came to his senses and picked up the pen to answer.

There was one question that he clearly remembered the answer to, but during the exam, he just couldn't remember it at all, wasting a lot of time.

As she thought about it, Shu Jing slowly calmed down and skipped that question.

He has a family behind him.

It was his family that put pressure on him, but it was also his family that supported him. It was because of his family that he could sit in the examination room and pick up the pen to fight for his future.

As his thoughts gradually became clearer, Shu Jing became more and more fluent in solving problems.

But fate seemed to play a joke on him. When he was writing the penultimate question, the exam time was up, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not leave any mark on the test paper.

He also imagined that the scores for those questions he had finished were enough.

But the reality is cruel.

There are 50 points for fill-in-the-blank questions, 44 points for short-answer questions, and 83 points for essay questions, with a total score of 177, which is only three points away from passing.

Not to mention the last question, if he could finish the second to last question, he would also be admitted to the library.

Just a little bit really.

But just this little bit seemed to negate all the efforts so far and completely crushed all of Shu Jing's fantasies.

With a "click", Shu Jing's sobs were drowned out by a louder sound, and Yang Yu slapped the envelope containing his grades in front of Shu Jing.
