Zhou Qiong also looked at Yi Tian. For some reason, her mood improved significantly.
Although rationally she knew that since it was Yi Tian's first time taking the exam, there was a high probability he wouldn't be able to answer a single question. However, having someone much "noobier" than herself right next to her made her feel better, even if she messed up her own exam.
Humans, after all, find comfort in comparison.
Yi Tian said, "Hmm... felt okay, I guess."
Zhou Qiong asked mischievously, "Xiao Tian, what score do you think you can get?"
Zhou Tiangang gave her a reproving look. Why bring up a sore subject?
Yi Tian didn't hide anything. "100 points, probably."
Pfft.
Zhou Qiong couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Xiao Tian, you really are a good person. You knew your sister was unhappy, so you're teasing me to make me smile."
Yi Tian: "..."
I'm not, don't talk nonsense. He truly had the confidence to score 100.
Inside the monitoring room.
Zhang Sheng looked at his incredibly confident nephew on the screen and couldn't help but puff out his chest.
Hmph. Even if his nephew entered the Evolution Department, so what? The knowledge he learned still belonged to the Zhang family!
He said leisurely, "The first place will most likely be my nephew."
Wang Tingsong also spoke leisurely, "It's a pity your nephew will be a member of my Evolution Department in the future."
"He is my nephew."
"He is my subordinate."
The two glared at each other, neither willing to admit defeat verbally. The researchers behind them were long accustomed to this; they had been bickering for more than a day or two.
All the candidates' test papers were sent to the monitoring room to be graded on the spot by the researchers present. Scores were released immediately after grading. Then, those who didn't score past 60 could go home early to rest.
"Work's here."
A pile of papers was brought in, and the researchers began grading.
[Sun Ting, 40 points] [Zhang Lun, 57 points] [Liu Feiyu, 60 points]
"Finally, one over 60." A researcher, rarely seeing a passing grade, couldn't help but sigh.
"Come look quickly, I'm grading Zhang Qisheng's paper," someone suddenly spoke up.
Quite a few people had their attention drawn over.
"Good guy, he really is impressive. I might not necessarily answer these questions better than him."
[Zhang Qisheng, 94 points]
"Undoubtedly, he is definitely the highest score of this exam."
The grading was in full swing. For every paper graded, the staff member responsible for data entry would input it. The two big shots, Wang Tingsong and Zhang Sheng, sat leisurely in their chairs, offering commentary.
"Not bad. At least over 100 candidates can pass the first round this time," Wang Tingsong smiled. "Our Evolution Department has too high a threshold, and we've always been short-handed. I hope two more people can pass the second round of assessment this time."
Zhang Sheng ignored Wang Tingsong's humblebrag. Hehe, too high a threshold? Isn't that just saying the Evolution Department is better than the Nurturing Department?
It was May now. Every year at this time, students from major Beast Taming Academies graduated. So, there were particularly many people participating in the assessment this time. With more people, the probability of finding talent naturally increased. According to the patterns of previous years, the number of people passing in May was at least three times that of other months.
However, starting from this time, the practical assessment would undergo reform, so it was hard to say how many people could pass.
"Holy crap!!!"
Just as the grading was nearing the end, a researcher suddenly stood up.
"What?" The others looked over curiously.
"Holy crap?"
"Holy crap?"
"Who is this guy? That's too fierce, right?"
A group of people stood frozen on the spot. Even Wang Tingsong and Zhang Sheng were attracted. They stood up in confusion and walked toward the researcher in the center.
"100 points!?"
Both raised their eyebrows simultaneously.
On the paper, correct answers were marked in red, and mistakes in green. In that researcher's hand, the paper was a sea of pure red.
Both of them were confused. It shouldn't be. When looking through the candidate information, they didn't see any amazing geniuses, did they?
Who is it?
The two snatched the paper and looked at the name in the top left corner. Then, they both froze.
"It's him!?"
