The others discussed.
“That’s not right, right? I remember that Shan Yue is not a biology student, right?”
“Did she study mathematics or chemistry? In any case, it’s definitely not related to plants!”
Due to Shan Yue’s outstanding performance, the group of professors in the surveillance room discussed Shan Yue in full swing. Many professors even had the thought of poaching Shan Yue from Capital University to be their last disciple.
In just ten minutes, Shan Yue walked out of the cave maze of Act 11 and prepared to enter the scene of Act 111.
In fact, the reason why Shan Yue could recognize those plants just now was because she had occasionally read a plant encyclopedia in the library in her free time. Back then, in order to be able to make medicine, she had memorized all the plants that might exist in the Federation City. Now, it was of use.
Besides, when she went on missions in the wild in the past, she had to deal with plants. She was very familiar with identifying the characteristics of plants and making use of them. The small test of the second act was a piece of cake for her.
After leaving the cave, Shan Yue used her hand to block the dazzling sunlight above her head and saw a huge table in front of her. On the table was a large map, and beside it was a stack of draft paper, pens, and rulers.
As soon as Shan Yue approached the table, a device extended from the ground. The virtual female examiner for the first scene appeared again. She smiled and said to Shan Yue, “Congratulations on reaching the third scene of the first test. Candidate Shan Yue, do you want to start answering the questions now?”
“Yes.” Shan Yue did not hesitate. She carefully noticed that as soon as she finished speaking, the timer placed in the upper right corner of the table activated.
The time displayed immediately changed from eight hours to seven hours, fifty-nine minutes, and fifty-six seconds.
At the same time, the virtual female examiner’s figure slowly disappeared. She reminded her, “Please complete the questions before the countdown ends. Otherwise, you’ll be directly eliminated.”
It seemed that the first two scenes were all appetizers. Starting from the third scene, the success or failure of the questions would directly determine the contestants’ survival.
Shan Yue walked forward and looked at the questions that appeared on the map.
The word count for the question was close to a thousand words. It involved calculation, drawing, geometry, logic, and many other subjects. It was a very cumbersome and complicated comprehensive question.
It took Shan Yue a few minutes to understand the solution to this question. There was a lot of calculations and it required precise drawings. It was indeed time-consuming.
“However, is there a need to give me eight hours to answer the questions? Isn’t that a little too long?” Shan Yue muttered as she thought about the questions.
At this moment, she noticed that the time in the upper right corner had decreased by nearly twenty minutes.
Why was the time flow of this countdown device so fast? It was almost four times faster than normal. Shan Yue frowned slightly.
In the surveillance room.
Seeing that Shan Yue had noticed the abnormal countdown device, an old professor in his seventies was very satisfied. “Actually, these eight hours are completely a cover. Shan Yue’s answer time is not eight hours at all. Once she relaxes and doesn’t finish the questions, she will be eliminated.”
“Yes, this is also the difference between her first exit from the cave maze and the stages of the other three contestants. The countdown devices of the other contestants are normal.”
The man who had been paying attention to Shan Yue’s answers changed from his initial lazy state to an interested observation. Hearing this, the man said, “I realized that the people in your Federation City are all very interesting.” “Why do you say that?” someone immediately asked.
“Well… why did you increase the difficulty of a contestant who had a huge advantage and deliberately narrow the gap between her and the other contestants?” the man asked in confusion.
Starting from the first scene, when Shan Yue was more than half an hour ahead of the other three contestants, the professors deliberately did not give Shan Yue lighting equipment in the second scene, then set a trap for Shan Yue in the third scene.
To put it nicely, in order to balance the difference in strength between the contestants, the professors were deliberately targeting Shan Yue and making things difficult for her.
From a man’s point of view, this was not fair.
“Haha, Mr. Louis, you might not know this, but this has always been the style of our Federation City’s competition selection. If a powerful person wants to always obtain an advantage, they have to work harder than others. If she’s helpless just because of a little additional difficulty, she’s not worthy of being in the lead.” The old professor from before smiled and explained gently..
