Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 108 - 90: This Old Deng Is Frighteningly Strong!
Lin Xiamo had seen Shen Qiushan’s efforts for herself, and she also had a good sense of his grades from the last few pop quizzes, so she was very confident in him.
Whether it was the school’s mock exam paper or the ones from the AI question bank, the difference really wasn’t that big for Shen Qiushan.
Seeing Lin Xiamo agree so readily, Yang Xijin and Wang Zhixin were both a little surprised. In fact, before coming to take this mock exam, the two of them had already coordinated—in fact, the suggestion to switch papers at the last minute was something they’d schemed up beforehand.
From their perspective, the school would absolutely cover for Shen Qiushan. It wasn’t out of the question that he was given a copy of the mock exam well in advance.
That’s why they’d come up with the idea to swap out the test papers at the last minute.
They’d honestly expected the school to do everything possible to shoot down their proposal!
Who’d have thought Lin Xiamo would agree so cheerfully? 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Just as they were still puzzling over it, Shen Qiushan suddenly spoke up: "Principal Lin, switching out the papers last-minute is just a huge waste of time. I really don’t think it’s necessary!"
Of course Shen Qiushan was against changing the test paper!
For him, this wasn’t just some basic mock exam, but more than two hundred thousand Scholar Index points!
He only gets one chance a month to rack up Scholar Index points; if they switch the paper, how’s he supposed to farm his Scholar Index score?
Seeing Shen Qiushan disagree with switching papers, Yang Xijin and Wang Zhixin’s eyes both lit up.
See?
Definitely something fishy going on!
"Old Shen, are you worried about wasting time, or are you scared you won’t be able to score high if we change the paper?"
Yang Xijin immediately said with obvious sarcasm.
"Or maybe you’ve memorized all the answers already?"
Wang Zhixin chimed in right away.
The other reporters and influencers participating in the mock exam also started chattering, all insisting that the paper should be changed.
Seeing this, Shen Qiushan shrugged helplessly: "Principal Lin, how about this—give me a copy of the original paper, too. I mainly just want to see how I stack up against the other students."
"You mean, answer both papers at the same time?"
Lin Xiamo was stunned. She trusted Shen Qiushan, but answering two whole test papers in the same exam period was way too hard.
Yang Xijin and Wang Zhixin and the others all had incredulous looks on their faces, too.
Wasn’t Shen Qiushan just making things harder for himself?
They really couldn’t understand what he was trying to pull.
"Old Shen, what’s the deal? Are you looking down on us?"
After a moment of silence, Yang Xijin scowled and asked.
"Why would I?"
Shen Qiushan chuckled and shook his head: "I just want to see the gap between me and the other students. The school’s mock exam paper is much closer to actual college entrance exam level."
"At the same time, I don’t want to mess up the little contest we’ve got going, so I’ll just do both sets. No one else needs to worry about what I’m doing!"
After saying that, Shen Qiushan turned to Lin Xiamo again: "Principal Lin, it’s getting late. Since they want to change the paper, let’s hurry up and get on with it."
"Alright!"
Lin Xiamo nodded, then looked at Yang Xijin and Wang Zhixin: "You two come to the computer and pick out a paper, then!"
Since the swapping idea was theirs, it was only right to let them choose the test paper themselves. That way, there’d be no conspiracy theories later.
The two immediately followed Lin Xiamo to the AI question bank to select a paper, and Teacher Li, who was in charge of the livestream, followed them with a selfie stick, determined to stream the whole process.
By this point, more than twenty thousand people had already poured into Teacher Li’s mobile livestream, and most of the online viewers supported switching the exam paper too. In their eyes, Sanjiang High School and Shen Qiushan were in cahoots, so swapping the paper was absolutely necessary!
To prevent the school and Shen Qiushan from working together behind the scenes, Yang Xijin even suggested that before each subject, he and Wang Zhixin would randomly select the test paper, just to keep the school from passing Shen Qiushan the answers in advance if the paper was chosen too early.
Fortunately, there were only twenty-two people taking the test with Shen Qiushan—in total, just twenty-three papers—so even with this system, it wouldn’t waste that much time.
8:30 a.m.
The exam in Shen Qiushan’s classroom finally started.
The first subject was math. According to Shen Qiushan’s own request, he received two test papers: one picked out just now by Yang Xijin and Wang Zhixin, and the other the standard mock exam paper from the school.
Once Shen Qiushan got both papers, he put the school’s mock exam off to the corner of his desk and focused on answering the math test picked by Yang Xijin and Wang Zhixin from the AI question bank.
No idea how old this paper was, but the difficulty was obviously behind the level of today’s college entrance exam.
Finding a paper like this in the mix was pretty normal, since the AI question bank had an absolute ton of tests, some from ten or twenty years ago!
A test of this difficulty was super easy for Shen Qiushan. His answer speed was off the charts—he finished the front page in no time.
Rustle~
Shen Qiushan casually flipped the paper over.
This little move immediately caught the attention of Yang Xijin and Wang Zhixin, who were sitting on either side of him.
Even though the two had tried to quickly brush up their high school material this past month, they’d been out of school long enough that there was no way they could get back to their former high school level. Answering the test was still a real struggle.
End result: neither had finished half a page, but Shen Qiushan was already flipping his over.
His answer speed was so insane that even if you put the two of them together, they still couldn’t keep up!
Inside the livestream showing the whole exam room—
There were already more than thirty thousand people watching live.
It really was a "cloud invigilator" situation.
The livestream had the gifting feature turned off, so there weren’t any flashy special effects.
