Chapter 43 - 43 43 End of the Unified Exam

43: Chapter 43: End of the Unified Exam 43: Chapter 43: End of the Unified Exam When Liu Lingxiu went out to call her mother, Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming fought over who would pay the bill.

The meal cost a little over a hundred yuan, which seemed quite cheap to Zhu Zhiming.

In the end, Zhu Zhiming paid the bill.

When they left the restaurant, it was still early, but Liu Lingxiu wanted to go back to the classroom to memorize some vocabulary words.

Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu returned to the classroom, while Zhu Zhiming and Li Shen intended to go online and return to the classroom later when the exam started.

When Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu got back to the classroom, Liu Lingxiu sat at her desk and began memorizing vocabulary words, while Ye Qiu took out his Immortal Cultivation novel and started reading.

As he read, Ye Qiu slumped over the desk as if he had fallen asleep.

At 2:45 PM, two proctors from another school brought in the English exam papers.

Because the exam included a listening section, they handed out the exam papers early so the students could preview the listening section.

The actual listening exam would take place between 3:00 and 3:30 PM.

In the past, although Liu Lingxiu had good hearing and could understand the English listening sections, her inability to speak since elementary school caused her language abilities to degrade quickly.

Therefore, the listening section had always been her weak point, making her English grades less impressive compared to the top students in the class.

But now that she could talk, she had spent the past couple of days practicing English with a cassette tape at home.

Everything felt different during the listening sessions; she could keep up with the pace of the audio.

As for the former Ye Qiu, like Li Shen and the others, he couldn’t understand a word of the “bird language” and would randomly guess his answers on multiple-choice questions.

But now he was completely different.

Ever since he absorbed those soul consciousnesses, not only did his English become excellent like those top students, but he also became proficient in various languages from other worlds, including some lesser-known ones.

Ye Qiu carefully reviewed the questions and answers for the listening section, and then at 3:00 PM, the speaker on the classroom podium started playing the listening part of the exam.

From the first listening question to the last, he did not miss a single one.

It all seemed extremely easy, like elementary school questions.

Next, he tackled the main part of the exam, which was equally easy for him.

Whether it was multiple-choice, reading comprehension, or the two essay questions—one short and one long—Ye Qiu completed them all very well.

After shading in the answers on the answer sheet with a 2B pencil, he had finished the entire English exam, including the listening section, in about an hour.

Without any further ado, Ye Qiu raised his hand and handed his paper to the proctor.

Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming had randomly guessed on the multiple-choice questions and left the rest blank, so when they saw Ye Qiu submitting his exam, they also handed in their papers.

Originally, Ye Qiu planned to stay in the classroom and read his novel, waiting for Liu Lingxiu to finish her exam so he could escort her home.

But now, since Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming invited him to go out with them, Ye Qiu had no choice but to go along.

When they reached downstairs, Ye Qiu asked: “Where are you guys going?”

“We just finished the joint exams.

We’re going to relax for a bit,” Li Shen said.

“Relax how?”

To Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming, the joint exams were no different from the usual monthly exams; they simply participated because they knew their own situation.

“Ye Qiu, who do you think will come in last place this time, you or the two of us?”

The last place was usually rotated among the three of them, but Ye Qiu ended up with the most opportunities.

“This time it has nothing to do with me,” Ye Qiu said.

Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming didn’t believe him.

Seeing his bicycle was still there, Ye Qiu pushed it along as he walked with Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming.

He thought about the two boys, Li Jun and Zhang Yong, from that morning.

Did they bring the money?

“Do you think they’re in Class 7?” Ye Qiu asked.

“We don’t know.”

Ye Qiu didn’t have much money left and definitely needed to ask those two boys for compensation.

When he, Zhu Zhiming, and Li Shen went to Class 7, they didn’t see the two boys, so Ye Qiu guessed they probably didn’t show up for the exam.

“Ye Qiu, I heard those two have connections with some gangsters outside of school.

I suggest you don’t mess with them.

Forget about those few hundred yuan,” Li Shen said.

Both he and Zhu Zhiming thought the same.

Even though Ye Qiu had changed somewhat, they believed he would get into trouble if he messed with those gangsters.

Ye Qiu smiled but didn’t say anything.

They rode their bikes to an arcade near Jiangbei No.

3 Middle School.

The arcade had all kinds of games, and you could just exchange money for tokens to play.

Of course, Ye Qiu knew that many of the games here were quite addictive and closely resembled gambling.

He saw that most of the players were young students and some other young people.

Li Shen took out two hundred yuan and exchanged it for two hundred tokens, then distributed them to Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhiming.

Ye Qiu found a racing simulator with a steering wheel.

Sitting in it felt almost like driving a real car, but it was even more thrilling.

He used to be an Imperial Physician in Heaven.

Although he had seen many vehicles on the road, he had only experienced them through the soul consciousnesses he absorbed, not first-hand.

Now he found it quite enjoyable, though he still didn’t know how to get money to buy a car.

After playing for some time, Ye Qiu found Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming again and asked them about the time.

They had been there for almost an hour.

Ye Qiu realized that Liu Lingxiu must have finished her exam, so he told the two of them, “You should head home early.

I’m going to pick up Lingshow.”

Ye Qiu left the arcade and rode his bike back to the Jiangbei No.

3 Middle School teaching building, where he saw Liu Lingxiu looking around outside.

Seeing Ye Qiu arrive on his bike, a smile finally appeared on her face.

Liu Lingxiu felt good about her performance in the English exam, especially the listening section.

She no longer had to rely on guessing but could actually understand the listening material, making her confident of a high score.

“Where did you go just now?”

“I went to the arcade with Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming.”

Liu Lingxiu frowned and said, “Ye Qiu, arcades are not good places.

You shouldn’t hang out there with them anymore.”

Ye Qiu understood what Liu Lingxiu meant.

When they reached the school gate, Liu Lingxiu got on the backseat of Ye Qiu’s bike and hugged his waist as he rode towards her home.

Since they had finished the exam at 5:30 PM, they didn’t stop to play on the way home.

They arrived at Liu Lingxiu’s home at around 6:00 PM.
