Chapter 1051: Shaking the Examination Room, the Eldest Miss of the In Family, Talent Disappeared! (1)
“…”
The examination hall suddenly fell into silence, leaving the students bewildered.
Even the invigilators, who were accustomed to witnessing all sorts of situations, were momentarily stunned.
In the history of the international joint examination, many geniuses had emerged, with early submissions being quite common. After all, candidates were allowed to submit their papers after the first hour of the exam.
However, these geniuses typically displayed exceptional intelligence and abilities from a young age, often completing graduate-level courses before turning fifteen.
Si Fuqing’s background, on the other hand, was vastly different.
The invigilators only knew that Si Fuqing was NINE, and also the Oracle’s spokesperson, making her participation in the international joint examination unprecedented.
And yet, it wasn’t even two hours into the exam, and she was already finished?
Even the most brilliant minds in previous years had taken at least two and a half hours to submit their papers.
The invigilator adjusted his glasses, his expression stern. “Are you sure you want to submit? Once you submit, you cannot continue the exam, and it will result in disqualification.”
Si Fuqing responded with a light “Yes, I’m sure.”
The timing of the International Joint Exam was highly inconvenient, ending at 6:30 PM—a time when she would typically be out enjoying a walk after a satisfying meal.
She needed to leave to grab something to eat.
Seeing that the girl’s expression was earnest, the invigilator finally approached to collect her paper.
After Si Fuqing left, he glanced over the exam paper, growing increasingly astonished as he read.
He was a professor at Etno University, and although there was a significant gap between his level and that of the exam’s reviewers, he could still solve the problems.
There were questions where his thoughts had stalled halfway through, yet Si Fuqing had completed them smoothly, even presenting a new problem-solving approach he hadn’t considered.
The invigilator’s hands trembled slightly.
This paper would surely score no less than 270 points!
The maximum score for the international joint examination was 300 points!
In previous years, the highest average score hovered around 258, with the occasional outlier surpassing 270, but that hadn’t happened in over a decade.
The invigilator meticulously reviewed the paper three times before setting it down, calming his wildly beating heart before resuming his patrol around the exam hall.
**
Outside the exam hall, the sky was clear and blue, with the wind gently rustling the leaves, accompanied by the occasional chirping of birds.
Si Fuqing snapped a photo of the sky and posted it on Weibo.
[@SiFuQingV: The weather’s nice.]
It was afternoon in the Muston Dukedom but still morning in the Great Xia Empire. However, within seconds, her post had garnered thousands of comments and retweets.
[Where’s the selfie? We used to at least get pictures with dogs, and now it’s just scenery. This is getting out of hand.]
[I’ve learned to be content because ever since I found out that a certain actress scored full marks on her college entrance exam, I’ve been worried she might leave the entertainment industry any day now [smile].]
[Isn’t this the time for the International Joint Exam? How is Si Fuqing able to post on Weibo?]
[She probably submitted her exam early. If you can’t solve the problems, you can’t solve them. No point in forcing it.]
Si Fuqing paid no mind to the comments as she leisurely walked out of the exam area.
Within a hundred meters of the International Joint Exam site, all street vendors and unrelated individuals had been cleared to ensure the security of the examination.
Si Fuqing walked up to Yu Xiheng, who opened his eyes and handed her a cold, refreshing glass of juice. “Full marks?”
“No, I held back.” Si Fuqing lazily leaned on the railing, letting the breeze blow through her hair. “I don’t want to join the Intercontinental Research Institute.”
From her experience in setting exam questions, she estimated that the highest score in this year’s international joint examination wouldn’t exceed 260. She only needed to score slightly above that.
Scoring full marks would indeed make her a priority for the Intercontinental Research Institute’s training program, but it would also mean being subjected to strict monitoring.
This had happened before. A candidate who scored 292 points had eventually been driven to the point of taking their own life due to the pressure.
This incident occurred four years ago. Si Fuqing had heard about it and didn’t even have a chance to demand that the Intercontinental Research Institute change its methods before the candidate died in an explosion.
From what she had learned from Lu Xingci, the Intercontinental Research Institute had only grown more extreme in recent years.
Yu Xiheng leaned his head on his hand, smiling as he met her gaze. “Hiding your true strength, you’re a wise girl.”
It’s important to show your brilliance, but always keep a backup plan.
What’s easily revealed can no longer be considered a trump card.
“Let’s go, it’s my treat for some good food,” Si Fuqing said, pushing the wheelchair forward.
“Qingqing!”
After walking for a while, a cheerful voice called out from behind.
Si Fuqing turned her head.
Lu Xingci waved enthusiastically at her. “I knew you’d finish early, so I waited here just for you.”
Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow. “Little prodigy, are you here to be a judge?”
“No way, I’m just here for the fun.” Lu Xingci fidgeted with the hem of his shirt, looking a bit bashful. “I mainly came to see you, Sister Qingqing. When are you going to introduce me to someone?”
