Chapter 275: Bad Luck

Seeing that it was getting late, the invigilator took back Zhang Ye's answer sheet and prepared to leave. Although Brother Scar knew that he was careless, he still refused to give in. He gritted his teeth and asked again: "Dare you ask the invigilator, as mentioned in the question, Even if the light crystal is fake, then why bury it back?"

Brother Scar was thinking that Zhang Ye was lucky enough to see through the trap of the question, but if he buried the rest, he would definitely answer randomly. If he didn't get full marks, he couldn't make things easier for Zhang Ye either.

The invigilator has experienced more salt than Brother Scar, so how could he know that he was unconvinced, but seeing that the apprentices all looked like they were asking for advice, he reluctantly replied: "Okay, I'll tell you why. Bury it back."

"As the title says, you dug up the crystal of light in the mountains. Don't you feel confused? Why did you dig up the crystal of light and not someone else? Moreover, this fake crystal of light can actually be confused with the real one. Is it possible that it is the one that you dug up? Is there no problem?”

"So, there is only one possibility - this is someone's fault! Someone deliberately created a fake crystal of light, waiting for you to discover it, but unfortunately, this person was very careful, so it gave the blacksmith a chance to see through it. ”

"No matter why this person planted a fake crystal of light, there must be a conspiracy hidden in it!"

"So, the most correct way is to bury the light crystal back. This is also the safest way to deal with it. First of all, this will not fall into a trap of others; secondly, to take a step back, this is not a trap. Since the light crystal is If something is artificially imitated, it has no value. If it is buried, it should be returned to its original owner..."

The words of the invigilator and deacon once again stunned everyone. This was no longer a common sense question about blacksmithing, but about Jianghu experience.

After the invigilator finished speaking, he turned around and left. The apprentices looked at Zhang Ye with admiration or amazement, who was still sleeping on the table. How could this guy who slept from beginning to end be so awesome?

But in Brother Scar's jealous eyes, he wouldn't believe that Zhang Ye had considered all aspects. It must be a coincidence. A blind cat meets a dead mouse!

"You're lucky. I will never lose to you in the next subject!" Brother Scar clenched his fists and swore secretly.

…

At this time, in a conference room of Lingbao Division, under the auspices of the chief executive, a group of deacons finished their meeting and were extremely bored. Somehow, they came to talk about the apprenticeship assessment.

"Old Qian, it's said that you set the test questions for the first subject. What do you think the passing rate for the first subject is?" the person in charge asked.

The deacon surnamed Qian was quite proud and stood up and said: "Master, please rest assured that this assessment focuses on testing the basics. The passing rate should be at a normal level. However, it is difficult to get high scores!"

Deacon Qian wanted to show off and continued: "The exam for the first subject should be over at this moment. Before the results are transmitted, how about all the deacons also come and do the test questions given by Qian?"

Because Deacon Qian gave it away, the other deacons were a little curious. Since there was nothing else to do today, they agreed.

Deacon Qian seemed to have been prepared for a long time. He took out a stack of test papers, one for each person.

The deacons took a cursory glance at the test paper, and one of the deacons said: "Old Qian, except for the light crystal, which is a relatively unpopular material, the others are not difficult. There are not many high scores, but there should be a lot!"

Deacon Qian chuckled: "Pay attention to the review."

The deacons read the title again, suddenly understood, and laughed and cursed: "Old Qian, you still can't change your bad habit of being a shady person behind your back!"

"It seems that many people will fall into question 10 now."

"Wrong, everyone will fall into question ten!" Deacon Qian corrected himself quite proudly.

Deacon Wang always had a bad face. He glanced at the test paper and threw it aside without saying anything.

Deacon Qian caught this scene and said with a smile: "Hey, Lao Wang, who provoked you? Look at your miserable face."

"Why, are you worried that the little apprentice you brought in a few days ago will not do well in the exam? Then you can't blame me!" There are also many overt and covert fights among the deacons. It is also a pleasure to find opportunities to disgust others. , Deacon Qian smiled.

Deacon Wang likes to scold people, but he can't scold Deacon Qian now, otherwise he will really be considered like that. He suppressed his anger, snorted coldly, and ignored it.

But Deacon Qian seemed to be reluctant and asked: "Hey, do you think which apprentice will be the first in the first subject? How about a small gamble?"

Although the deacons were aloof, they still knew something about the apprentices. When they heard about the small bet, they became even more interested. Some bet on zero, eight, one and nine, while others bet on eight, zero and ninety. Even the master in charge joined in the fun. After betting a few sky stones, Deacon Qian did the math: "Hey, there are people betting on everyone, why is there no one betting on nine, five, two, seven?"

Although 9527 has been in the limelight recently, he has only been in Lingbao Division for a short period of time. The deacons believed that his foundation was insufficient, so they did not take him into custody. Deacon Qian looked at Deacon Wang, the irony was self-evident.

Deacon Wang is a person who is easily angry. Being provoked by this, he smashed out a high-grade sky stone and said, "Bet nine, five, two, seven!"

No matter what the final result is, losing people is not losing face.

Deacon Qian laughed and thought that this high-quality sky stone was just for free. He praised the stone and accepted it with a smile.

At this time, the invigilator came back with a stack of answer sheets: "My lord, the first subject examination is completed. These are the apprentice's answer sheets. The first place is..."

Just when he said this, Deacon Qian interrupted him: "Wait, let's not talk about who is the first place, we made a bet, and we will announce it later. Can you tell me the score of the first place first?"

The invigilator saw that the master did not object, so he smiled and said: "First place, full marks."

The complacent Deacon Qian's face suddenly changed. After all, he had boasted before that it was impossible for him to get full marks on this set of questions.

Deacon Qian asked unwillingly: "The tenth question is a trap question. I have warned you not to make a mistake!"

The invigilator was a little dissatisfied: "The answer of the first place is exactly the same as your correct answer - it's fake, bury it!" He paused and added, "Even the punctuation is correct."

"But don't worry, only one person got full marks, and the others were tricked. The pass rate is at a normal level."

After the invigilator said this, Deacon Qian thought better: "Who is the first place with full marks?"

The invigilator handed the answer sheet to the master: "Let the master announce it."

The invigilator kept it a secret, and then said: "Is it too late for me to raise the bet? I bet you can't guess who is the first!"

Of course, no one was willing to bet with the invigilator, and they all looked at the master, waiting for the first candidate to be announced.

The headmaster flipped through the answer sheet, a little surprised, and then looked at Deacon Wang: "Xiao Wang, if you win money, you have to treat me to a drink tonight."

The headmaster never jokes. He named Deacon Wang, which means that Deacon Wang bet on the right person. Who did Deacon Wang bet on? 9527!

Deacon Qian's face turned the color of liver. It was fine if he got a full score, but it was the 9527 that he mocked? Deacon Wang couldn't believe it. He took Zhang Ye's answer sheet from the headmaster. He wanted to find a flaw, but there was no mistake, not even a typo.

Deacon Wang looked for money from Deacon Qian with an angry face, but after getting the money, he couldn't help but laughed twice.

The deacons present had never seen Deacon Wang laugh, and now his smile was no less than slapping Deacon Qian twice, which was more effective than scolding anything.

Deacon Qian stood there with a red face. The headmaster coughed and said, "Okay, let's start the next subject."

Deacon Wang was in charge of the second subject. He left as ordered, but Deacon Qian seemed to be fighting with Deacon Wang, or worried that Deacon Wang would cheat. 9527: "This time, there are many hidden talents in the apprentice assessment. Let's go and take a look?"

The remaining deacons looked at each other and were bored. They wanted to see how 9527, who got full marks, would perform. Therefore, all the deacons present followed him.

…

The apprentices in the examination room finished the first subject, rested for a while, and were taken to the forging workshop. The second subject was about material processing, which required forging equipment such as furnaces.

The apprentices rushed into the forging workshop, but they were suddenly stunned. There were seven or eight deacons who were rarely seen on weekdays, and even the headmaster who was elusive was there!

The apprentices were so nervous that many of them even froze on the spot and could not speak clearly: "Hello, Master Zhushit, Hello, Master Shit..."

"Find the furnace position by yourself, and the exam will start immediately. Cheaters will die!" Deacon Wang, as the invigilator of this round, was even more decisive.

The apprentices were submissive and quickly found the furnace position. Many of them were weak and crawled.

But some people seemed very generous, and Scar Brother was one of them. Although he was also very nervous, he felt that the deacon and the master came to observe the exam. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as he performed well, he might be promoted by exception!

Therefore, Scar Brother restrained his trembling hands and feet and stood in front of a furnace position with a measured manner. He took the time to sneak a glance at the big shots, but found that the big shots didn't look at him at all. Everyone's eyes were on Zhang Ye.

And Zhang Ye, who looked like he hadn't woken up yet, yawned and found a furnace position. He stood and sat without knowing how to stand or sit and dozed off.

Actually, this is not Zhang Ye pretending to be cool.

Previously, Deacon Wang said that he would not give Zhang Ye a backdoor, but the night before the exam, Deacon Wang dragged Zhang Ye and forced him to recite the material catalog and practice the materials all night.

Zhang Ye wanted to cry but had no tears. What the hell did you do for training long ago? Besides, he didn't need this kind of intensive training at all, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so Zhang Ye had to endure it all night. So Zhang Ye was dozing off when he walked today.

Deacon Wang glared at Zhang Ye, but Zhang Ye ignored him. His head was hanging at a weird angle and dozing off.

Deacon Wang knew the reason and didn't know what to say. He took out a Qiankun bag, which contained the materials for the test.

The materials in it were varied and not prepared by Deacon Wang. He was only responsible for invigilating. At that time, these materials will be randomly distributed to apprentices. Each apprentice will get different materials with different difficulties. It not only tests the apprentice's mastery of the materials, but also a person's luck.

People with bad luck will do nothing! People who are truly capable are not afraid of bad luck.

When Deacon Wang saw the apprentices in place, he slapped his Qiankun bag, and thousands of materials flew out and circled in the air. Then, Deacon Wang opened his mouth and spit out a black gas that covered all the materials. With the apprentices' cultivation, they could not detect the internal situation.

Deacon Wang ordered: "Select the materials."

The apprentices took the order, stretched out their hands and sucked, and materials flew out of the black fog and fell into their hands. When the black gas dissipated, they knew what materials they had grabbed.

Some apprentices were delighted because they drew materials they were good at, while others were bitter because they didn't know the materials they drew and were destined to get bad grades.

During the apprentices' drawing process, the deacons discussed: "Old Ma, what is the most difficult material you prepared this year?"

Deacon Ma was the question setter for the second subject. He smiled and kept it a secret: "Let's talk about it when it appears. Anyway, it's very difficult."

At this moment, Zhang Ye stretched out his hand and sucked, and a piece of material flew into his hand. After the black air dissipated, a piece of colorful material was placed in his hand, which was very beautiful.

However, Deacon Ma was stunned and smiled: "The 9527th one is the most difficult question in the undergraduate course."

The deacons had different expressions. Some were gloating, and some felt sorry, because they had understood why Deacon Ma said that the material in Zhang Ye's hand was the most difficult question.

The material in Zhang Ye's hand was colorful, but that was not the color of the material itself, but a mixed material of five to six materials mixed together.

Mixed materials are also often seen. The common processing method is to remove impurities from the materials and extract the main materials, which is referred to as purification.

But the material in Zhang Ye's hand has five or six materials of similar weight, and it is difficult to distinguish the main and the secondary. Moreover, these five or six materials are thoroughly integrated, and it is simply that you have me and I have you. Even a forger at the level of the furnace master may find it difficult to purify.

Even if it can be purified, other materials will inevitably be lost, and the second subject assessment is to handle materials. Once there is material loss, you will not get a high score.

Therefore, the material in Zhang Ye's hand is the most difficult question listed by the questioner.

With Zhang Ye's ability, if it is an ordinary material, he may get full marks, but no one expected that Zhang Ye would be so unlucky and draw this material of almost abnormal difficulty. In this round of assessment, let alone a high score, he can pass it.

Deacon Qian, who had lost a lot before, laughed the happiest at this moment: "9527, bad luck!"

This means that Zhang Ye's performance in the first subject is even attributed to good luck.

Although it was difficult for Deacon Wang to accept such a thing, as an invigilator, he had to be fair. He ignored Deacon Qian and gave an order: "One stick of incense, the test begins!"

The apprentices quickly processed the materials in their hands, either calcining or hammering, and the forging workshop was buzzing with excitement.

Zhang Ye was stunned with the materials in his hand. In Scar Brother's opinion, Zhang Ye was at a loss.

Scar Brother no longer paid attention to Zhang Ye and concentrated on his own materials. He drew a material with moderate difficulty. As long as he handled it well, he would definitely get a high score, or even a full score.

Zhang Ye, there is no need to worry.

(Yesterday, a young lady commented that she wanted to cut me. I'm scared. This is a 4,000-word chapter.)
