CHAPTER 55: CHAPTER 55: YOU’RE IN VERSAILLES! THEN I’LL ALSO BE IN VERSAILLES!_1

The next day, 7:30 AM.

Today is the first day of the Evolutionary College Entrance Exam.

Morning: 8:00—10:00.

The exam is the written test for Evolutionary Science.

By the time Su Yan arrived at the school’s examination room, the classroom was almost full. At a glance, he saw several familiar faces: the top student, Class Monitor Lin Ruoxi, and the two God Gu fangirls from the back row.

Su Yan couldn’t help but think, This really is quite a coincidence.

Out of the five Evolutionary Science top students in his class, three were in the same examination room as him. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. It seems I do indeed have the makings of a top student!

Just as Su Yan was entertaining these random thoughts, Lin Ruoxi, from the front row of the examination room, greeted him with a smile, "Su Yan, good morning!"

"Morning, Class Monitor," Su Yan responded politely, then went to sit at the desk next to Lin Ruoxi’s.

The two were quite fated, not only assigned to the same examination room but also seated beside each other.

Seeing that Su Yan had taken his seat, Lin Ruoxi stood up, leaned over slightly, and brought her cherry-red lips close to his ear, whispering softly, "Su Yan, after we finish the test paper, I’ll pretend to check it. You can copy as much as you can then. Try to get more points."

Su Yan raised his eyebrows at this and smiled, "But Class Monitor, we’re taking different versions. I have the A paper, and you have the B paper."

"It doesn’t matter. I’ll write the answers on the questions on my paper, and you can just directly copy them from there."

"Thanks, but no thanks, Class Monitor. It’s just the Evolutionary Science written exam; it’ll be a piece of cake for me."

Hearing this, Lin Ruoxi couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth slightly, then said, "Su Yan, based on the trends from the past few years, this year’s exam is likely to be very difficult."

"It’s fine. No matter how hard it is, I, Su Yan, will still ace it. If I score less than 90, consider it my loss."

Lin Ruoxi was rendered speechless. She considered ignoring Su Yan completely but still offered one more piece of advice, "Su Yan, don’t overdo it..."

Before she could finish, Su Yan cut in forcefully, "Class Monitor, I’m not just acting tough. I really am this strong."

"Su Yan, I think..."

"Class Monitor, the teacher is coming."

Lin Ruoxi wanted to persuade him further, but seeing that the proctor had arrived, she could only hold her peace and return to her seat.

Soon, the time reached 7:55 AM, and the proctors began distributing the test papers to the students.

Su Yan glanced at the test paper he received; his initial impression was that it seemed quite difficult. But it didn’t matter. After more than twenty days of intensive study, he was fully capable of acing this test. He was confident he could score at least 90.

When the clock struck 8:00 AM, the students in the examination room began to write.

The distribution of questions on the test paper was straightforward:

8 multiple-choice questions, totaling 24 points.

4 multiple-response questions, totaling 20 points.

4 fill-in-the-blank questions, totaling 20 points.

3 open-ended questions, totaling 36 points.

Less than 20 minutes into the exam, Su Yan had finished the first 12 multiple-choice and multiple-response questions. With an absolutely dominant performance, he flawlessly secured all 44 points.

But in the next 4 fill-in-the-blank questions, he got stuck for a while on the last one. It was a strange diagram-based question:

16. Based on the partial limb of the evolved creature shown, identify its species, gender, and age.

(Note: An error within two years is acceptable)

————See diagram————

[A thick and long leg]

————See diagram————

Guess the species, gender, and age of an evolved creature from just a part of its limb? To be honest, this question is excessively difficult; it’s clearly designed to mess with people, he thought.

Five minutes passed, and Su Yan was still stuck on this question, completely stumped.

Another five minutes went by, and he still had no clue.

By this time, many students had reached this question and were cursing furiously in their minds: "What the hell?! Who on earth came up with this question? This is bloody impossible!"

However, these complaints were relatively mild. Some hot-headed guys even wanted to tear up their test papers, storm over to the education bureau, roll up their trouser legs, and shout at the question setter, "Guess! Guess, damn it! If you can’t guess the age, take a punch from me!"

Time continued to tick by. Soon, another five minutes had passed in the blink of an eye.

Just then, Su Yan’s eyes suddenly lit up! I remember now! I finally know what evolved creature this limb belongs to!

During the first two days after he’d transmigrated, he had spent a lot of time surfing the web intensely in the hospital. He’d happened to come across a forum post discussing a type of evolved creature whose legs grew larger as its Qi and Blood Value increased. This evolved creature possessed incredibly strong Explosive Force in its legs; even at the Ordinary Level, it could shatter bulletproof glass with a single kick. It was said that once its Creature Level reached Epic, it could even obliterate mountain ranges and rift valleys with one kick. Outrageously strong and exaggerated!

The species of this evolved creature was called: the Tyrant Roc!

Alright, species identified. Now, only gender and age remain, he thought.

Su Yan carefully recalled. He remembered that the gender of a Tyrant Roc was primarily determined by the muscular development of its legs. Generally, those with thicker legs were male. Given that the bird leg in the picture is thicker than a large cucumber, it has to be a male. No doubt about it, he mused.

And just like that, only the age was left to determine.

If I remember correctly, the age of a Tyrant Roc is mainly determined by its leg length. I think it was one centimeter per year of age, Su Yan recalled.

With this in mind, Su Yan immediately focused all his attention on analyzing the picture, trying to find a reference object to compare the length of the bird’s leg.

The elements in the picture were simple: a bare patch of earth met his eyes. Many beans were scattered on it—green beans, red beans, snow peas, and so on, visible at a glance.

Suddenly, a peanut under the bird’s leg caught Su Yan’s attention. It was a mature peanut, with very standard proportions in both width and length. Generally, a mature peanut is about 1 centimeter long.

Realizing this, Su Yan quickly grabbed a piece of scratch paper. He marked a length on it corresponding to the peanut in the picture, then used this length as a basic unit to measure the bird’s leg.

After some measuring, Su Yan was pleasantly surprised to find that the bird leg’s length in the picture was exactly 18 times the length of the peanut. Not a bit more, not a bit less.

It’s obvious now! The answer is crystal clear! The length of this bird’s leg is 18 centimeters! In other words, this Tyrant Roc is 18 years old!!!

Wuhu! Perfect!

After spending nearly 40 minutes, Su Yan had finally completed all 16 multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions, securing the 64 points with almost perfect accuracy.

Next, only three open-ended questions remained.

17. Assume you encounter a Nine-tailed Fox Demon on a deserted street corner, one Creature Level higher than you; what would you do?

18. Assume you have an elephant leg, a Kirin’s arm, along with the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear; is it possible to successfully graft them all onto your body simultaneously?

19. There is an evolved creature that has two legs when no member of the opposite sex is nearby, and three legs when one is present; identify the species of this creature.

Su Yan found these three questions to be no trouble at all. In less than 20 minutes, he had formulated perfect answers.

He finished the exam with a full hour to spare. Su Yan spent 10 minutes reviewing his answers. After confirming everything was correct, he laid his head on the desk and went to sleep. If early submissions were allowed, he would have already handed in his paper and left.

Seeing Su Yan suddenly put his head down to sleep, Lin Ruoxi, who was sitting nearby, assumed he had given up and couldn’t help but sigh internally. Sigh, he seemed so confident when he first signed up for Evolutionary Science. Yet now, just at the written exam stage of Evolutionary Science, he’s already given up completely. He enrolled in Evolutionary Science but isn’t taking it seriously. That jerk Su Yan... He’s probably going to be like this for the rest of his life...

With that thought, Lin Ruoxi returned to her own test paper.

Soon, the clock struck ten. The exam was over. The two proctors immediately began collecting the papers.

Shortly after the papers were collected, the two God Gu fangirls from Su Yan’s class hurried over to Lin Ruoxi, initiating the typical post-exam discussion among top students. As soon as they approached, they immediately started their Versailles routine with Lin Ruoxi, the ultimate top student:

NovelBin

"Sigh, this exam was so difficult. I feel like I’ll only get around 90 points."

"Same here. I couldn’t do the last fill-in-the-blank question, so those 5 points are gone for sure."

Lin Ruoxi, not to be outdone, joined in with her own Versailles-style comment: "I didn’t do well either. I’ll probably only get 95 points. Sigh, I messed up."

Listening to the three top students intensely one-upping each other with their humblebrags, Su Yan silently packed his things, preparing to leave.

Just then, the two God Gu fangirls, having failed to impress Lin Ruoxi with their showing off, turned their attention to Su Yan. "Su Yan, I saw you put your head down to sleep really early. How did you do on the exam?"

Su Yan glanced at them and said with a feigned troubled expression, "I didn’t perform too well. It took me a bit longer than I expected."

Hearing this, one of the God Gu fangirls, while appearing to comfort Su Yan, was actually showing off: "It’s okay, this exam was quite difficult. They’ll probably lower the grading standards." She continued, "Look at me, I usually get a perfect score, but this time, I’ll probably only get around 90."

This God Gu fangirl deliberately spoke loudly enough for nearly everyone in the examination room to hear, as if afraid others wouldn’t know she was a top student.

Once she finished her humblebrag, Su Yan grinned and said, "You’re right, this exam was indeed difficult. I initially thought I could finish it in about half an hour, but it ended up taking me a full hour."

Then he added, "But it’s alright, I think. Getting a perfect 100 points shouldn’t be a problem; it just took a bit longer than I’d hoped."

Correct content is on NovelBin

The two fangirls: "???"

Lin Ruoxi: "???"

The rest of the students: "!!!"

Upon hearing Su Yan’s words, every student in the examination room was utterly shocked. A true top student is right here among us! they thought.

The three female top students beside him were momentarily stunned. What kind of person is this, boasting so shamelessly without batting an eye? Finishing the test in an hour with a perfect score... Yeah, right! If you’re such a master bullshitter, why bother with Evolutionary Science? You should just go raise cattle and get rich! they fumed internally.

The three top students were silently raging at Su Yan, feeling like they had picked the wrong target for their showing off. It was like punching a steamed bun—all effort, no impact, and just making a mess for themselves.

Truly, the ancients did not deceive us! A tree without bark will surely die; a person without shame is invincible in this world.

Still, let’s see how embarrassed you are when the results come out this afternoon! the two God Gu fangirls thought.
