This Lord is Very Scientific

This essay topic can be said to be very in tune with current events.

Unlike the previous life, where some essay topics were so focused on the Doctrine of the Mean that they didn't tie into current events, conflicts, or hot topics, highlighting only the ordinary.

But the essay topic given out this time directly ties in with the Great Wilderness City's most pressing issue to date, which is the war issue, sparking discussions about this war in the Great Wilderness City.

Whether from the perspective of the Great Wilderness City, the Forest Hut, or an observer like the Holy Life Alliance or the Black and White Kingdom, it's all acceptable.

As for arguing points, any perspective is fine; Lin Ke doesn't practice literary inquisition.

As long as the argument is reasonable and self-consistent, it is acceptable.

Deliberate slandering and sycophancy are both displeasing.

Youth should have the demeanor of youth!

After Lin Ke finished reading the exam questions, he began to check other people's answer sheets.

This is also a hobby for many proctors.

But Lin Ke doesn't check them in person; instead, he uses his self-developed skill "Distant Viewing" to inspect them.

"What crap, all flattery and sycophancy; what is this person thinking?"

"Hmm? Not bad, criticizing the Great Wilderness City with reasonable arguments, but unfortunately, in his heart, the war by the Great Wilderness City is still a righteous act, so the critique isn't thorough enough, though it has some dialectical significance."

"From the perspective of a Magical Beast in the Elemental Forest? That's a good angle, discussing war from an environmental and social responsibility perspective?"

"Not bad, someone found the meaning of the movie 'Schindler's List', very perceptive and detailed!"

"This logic doesn't work, loving the Great Wilderness City means not being clear-headed, not thinking independently, not longing for freedom? Just brainwashed and dyed red? What nonsense." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Oh, this one is also good, clear logic, smooth structure..."

As the end approached, almost all the candidates had written the essay, except for a few chronic problem students, so Lin Ke checked them one by one.

However, during the process, Lin Ke also sensed a few areas of magic power fluctuation on campus, suggesting some changes.

But since the Dark Maiden and Revin didn't act, it proved that it wasn't a big issue, at least likely the magic power fluctuation from the proctors.

Some might be cheating, and there's a certain probability that the cheaters are outsiders, aiming for a spot in the Fearless Tower, so they didn't study hard and learn knowledge.

Actually, regardless, even if they passed all the previous subjects, they might still be eliminated in the moral aspect.

For example, honesty.

Honesty is a very important quality, but it's not about absolute honesty; many times, a well-intentioned lie is acceptable, or some lies that avoid trouble, and so on.

But at the very least, basic honesty in many matters is a required quality.

Also, the most basic principles like having good character, compassion, empathy, knowing gratitude, etc.

These aren't related to level, race, or how many lives one has taken.

Some people kill indiscriminately but kill only enemies or those deemed deserving in Naseng's view.

Others have never killed any living creature but are corrupt, indirectly causing the demise of millions.

So, Lin Ke also discussed with others how to evaluate the morality and character of a wise being.

Eventually, they set up some questions and scenarios.

With Revin and the Mist Princess here, no one below the Starlight level can resist this psychological test.

In a way, if it weren't for Revin's wide selection of partners, Revin and the Mist Princess would be a natural pair.

While contemplating, Lin Ke continued to review student essays; some sensitive students could sense Lin Ke's magic power fluctuations, so he would immediately retract his observation to avoid affecting the candidates' answers.

"Ding-ling-ling..."

Soon, the exam time reached its endpoint.

After everyone heard the bell, the proctors also activated their respective magical devices.

Test paper collection magic device!

"Candidates, please stop answering! Candidates, please stop answering!"

"Remove your hand from the test paper, or the paper collector will deem you as overtime and no longer collect this test paper!"

"Relevant regulations and announcements have been made before the exam. Please comply, or you won't be able to take the exam for the next three years!"

"Repeat it! Please stop answering! That candidate!"

...

Exams from the previous life evolved and changed over time, with these improvements and changes limited by the level of technology and the thinking patterns of cheaters.

Metal signal detectors, for example, prohibited cheating with watches and glasses, bottled water couldn't have an outer shell or other recordable packaging, and so on.

These were developed step by step.

Fortunately, Lin Ke directly copied almost all the rules and requirements from the previous life before crossing over and added many regulations suitable for Naseng's land, making the whole process very reasonable with the utilization of magic.

However, Lin Ke didn't expect that there would be so many cheating methods!

"There's a candidate from the shoreline's Chester Walrus Tribe, a level thirteen [Surfing Hero], who swallowed a lot of water in advance and engraved water elements in his stomach, then cheated using internal vision. If not for the proctor noticing that this candidate, transformed into human form, seemed to constantly roll his eyes, no one would have known his talent was so unique!"

"The sea elephant clansman is okay; there was even a legendary [Divine Fire Thief] who directly used the Power of Laws to bypass magic power, briefly stealing the thoughts and knowledge of the candidates, causing ten minutes into the exam, everyone in the room except him was still writing names and candidate numbers!"

"Lord Lin Ke, you say, legends are so great, why resort to such means? Legends clearly have other channels!"

"You're probably talking about the one who had a grudge with the Insomnia Emperor when he was young and took the opportunity to steal the Insomnia Emperor's thought about 'exercising', while the Insomnia Emperor and the Five-Colored Dragon Mother were researching the next generation, right? Is he still alive?"

"I know about this too! Let me tell you, Lolita, I heard my father..."

"Ahem! Ahem!!"

Lin Ke heard the discussion topic veer in a strange direction and immediately coughed to stop his followers' discussion.

Of course, mainly Rica and Lolita, who seemed to fear the world wasn't chaotic enough, turning the serious issue of exam cheating into a roast session.

So Lin Ke turned his gaze to the Dark Maiden, who had been observing for a long time and was likely to have new discoveries.

Casual cheating wasn't a problem; he feared disruptive hostile forces.

Feeling Lin Ke's gaze, the Dark Maiden also looked up, holding that massive and dreadful scythe in her arms.

She looked at Lin Ke and said, "Tonight, I'm going to fight against you."
