The puppets' stage play

While Qi Xiu was answering the questions, his eyes were wandering around.

At this moment, everyone has used their third chance, but the time has just reached 11:15, and the physical condition of all the candidates is already getting weaker.

The candidates were in a daze, staring blankly at the screen in front of them, without moving.

After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses and his expression became more and more embarrassing.

Looking at the time and looking at the questions, except for a few people who were still trying to answer the questions, everyone else fell into an atmosphere of confusion.

I want to answer a question, but I can't answer it in a short time. When I think about it, I can't concentrate. It's like being trapped in an endless loop.

Some candidates held their heads with their hands, their faces drooped, and their bodies trembled invisibly. Then the light and shadow flowed and the figure disappeared.

Some candidates covered their eyes, their lips kept trembling, and tears silently fell down their cheeks and turned into the wind.

Some candidates looked up at the sky, with their mouths open and their eyes dull, like petrified sculptures with sand turning into grains.

Qi Xiu withdrew his gaze and kept talking. He has not given up yet!

Those are people who feel their bodies are on the verge of reaching their limits and have no choice but to give up. They are left behind in the midst of a glorious future.

They left now and chose to give up after just over an hour. It can be said that this exam has nothing to do with them, and the chance of passing is almost zero.

The number of people around me has gradually shrunk, from 60 people at the beginning to 28 people now.

19 people.

12 people.

5 people.

3 people.

11: 25.

Compared with the other two people who had suppressed red faces and wide-eyed eyes, Qi Xiu could be said to be in good condition and could still fight for a few more hours. However, facing the surprised look in the examiner Liu Yu's eyes, he finally came to his senses.

Looking at the question from the corner of my eye, I only finished half of it, about 400 questions.

The time is 11:22

Enough is enough, too much is not enough, and there is still afternoon, so he quickly acted like he was on the verge of reaching his limit.

He began to breathe heavily, his face turned red, his hands became trembling, he pressed the exit button, and his body suddenly disappeared like a shadow.

The two people behind him breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and left with joy.

Liu Yu stared intently at the direction where Qi Xiu left and remained silent for a while.

"Huh, this kid" the smile showed in his words. He didn't care if the other party cheated, that would only happen if the other party was capable.

"Jangdou, I need to take a break. Help me pay attention to that candidate. Call me when the time comes."

Liu Yu tapped the corners of his eyes, then spoke into the air, and disappeared without waiting for a reply.

"Yes, Teacher Liu." A reply in the air echoed in the empty room. Afterwards, it was covered by darkness and the 'examination room' was temporarily closed.

"Speaking of my younger brother, he is usually very arrogant. Do you know this word?"

"He's that kind of arrogant towards others, and still deals with troubles for you even though he's reluctant. So, he's a good brother, hehe."

All the candidates looked at Liu Ting who was bragging in embarrassment and forced themselves to show that they were listening carefully. They were speechless.

Gong Shoucheng's eyes were gentle and he listened to the other party's words with a smile, which made the other party even more enthusiastic. He talked endlessly without any room for pause.

Liu Ting spoke for a full fifteen minutes, and then he ended with a glance in his eyes.

Everyone looked like it was finally over.

The smile on Liu Ting's face dropped, and he spat disdainfully. He looked at Gong Shoucheng, who had no impatience on his face from beginning to end, and admired him even more, but he wanted to do that even more.

"Gong Shoucheng 100 points"

"The rest of the candidates scored 80 points"

Before anyone could be happy, he smiled sinisterly and spoke immediately.

"Out of my personal appreciation for someone, Gong Shoucheng will add 20 points." He raised his head and looked down at everyone.

"As for you, 50 points will be deducted!"

The field suddenly became silent, and the eyes of all the candidates were shocked. Their faces were either sneering or indifferent, but their eyes were looking at someone in the center.

Liu Ting looked at Gong Shoucheng leisurely, everyone was looking forward to the other party's answer.

Gong Shoucheng's smile faded, his expression a little cold. He raised his head and looked around at everyone, with expectant eyes, probing eyes, and a searching mentality.

No matter what, since he chose to step onto the stage, he must bear the corresponding responsibilities.

He knew in his heart that this was a common test for everyone, and when Liu Ting asked a question, the only answers were full marks or failure. There was no other way.

Gong Shoucheng couldn't help laughing, and he looked directly at Liu Ting, who was a little confused.

"I once heard that after Jiang Yanbo failed in the exam, he climbed to the Xiyuan Tower and looked at the distance of the sky and the majesty of the scenery. The more he realized his insignificance, the more he became inspired by poetry."

"I still remember a few of these sentences. Please let the teacher appreciate them and help clarify my confusion." Liu Ting touched his nose and felt strange. What did he do in the old times?

"He talks about traveling from east to west, the gossip in the market makes people greedy, the emperor never comes to court, and the children on the street are crazy about the sky."

"Of course, at that time, he was saying that he was unappreciated for his talent and longed for success, but what happened to him later... Haha"

"Teacher, have you heard that three people become tigers, and people's words are scary?" He smiled at this time, looking at the other person's changing expression.

From doubt to frown, then to thinking, after suddenly realizing, his eyes showed a cold light and looked here coldly.

"You mean to warn me?! Haha, how brave!" Liu Ting's face was cold and his eyes were like knives.

All the candidates were thinking, what was the key to this passage, which made the examiner furious, and the scene was strangely quiet for a moment.

There are smart people who think of the previous situation, and their thoughts immediately connect into a line. They admire the other party's brain more and more, and come up with a solution in a short time.

Not long after, everyone understood the other party's intention and applauded in their hearts.

"Teacher, this student doesn't mean to warn you. I just want you to be careful when speaking. After all, there will always be someone in a higher position among us in the future. Maybe he will be your superior, teacher."

"So, there is no need to continue this boring game of deducting points."

Gong Shoucheng was not angry, his tone was calm, but his words contained his own firm will.

When Liu Ting saw this, his face turned from gloomy to clear, he couldn't help laughing, and he became more optimistic about Gong Shoucheng.

You know, if the opponent cannot control the situation, he will think that the opponent is incompetent, and in turn deduct 80 points from the opponent, and he will deduct another 20 points from everyone else. After all, he said on the surface that there is no upper limit to the points he can give.

In fact, everyone has an upper limit of 500 points, but most people can't get that much.

He coughed and looked around at everyone with a smile on his face.

"Move on to the next topic." He ignored everyone's surprised emotions and continued to advance the examination process.

"Now you have to create a new image for our jelly beans, the center of control of the academy."

"Oh, this is already the 125th collection of the jelly bean image. In fact, the instructors around you are also images designed by your past seniors."

Everyone was curious, and even Gong Shoucheng sat down and listened to his words.

"Jangdou is not only the center of the academy, but also the academy's virtual-real conversion system, which can turn virtual reality into reality. The tea you are drinking now is not an illusion, but a real existence."

"The jelly bean's name is TD, which is our abbreviation for it. From a certain period of time, we began to design an image for it to express our love."

"Now it's your turn to be candidates. Now let me see your strength and how many points you get at the end of the morning."

“After all, it’s getting late.”

Everyone subconsciously looked at the time: 11:25, and their expressions suddenly tightened. They were still thinking about the other party's words in their minds, but they had already begun to describe it, trying to depict the image they recognized.

Liu Ting reached out to pour tea, with a leisurely expression, and drank slowly.

After a while, everyone completed their designs and submitted them individually.

Liu Ting's hand slid in the void, and in front of him was the image carefully designed by everyone.

"This water chestnut has sharp edges and corners, and the painting style is amazing. Unfortunately, I can't appreciate it. 30 points."

An abstract artistic graffiti-like character.

"The image is distinctive, but it is too scary and loses the image. 25 points."

The overall dark background, black and white characters with blood-red eyes are about to pounce.

Later, there were various weird images, some of which Liu Ting ridiculed, and some of which praised him. Overall, they were just average and did not make him shine.

Until a certain image, there was boundless darkness behind a young man, but light surrounded him. His face was slightly rounded, and he looked at the light awkwardly.

Liu Ting raised his eyebrows, looked at the creator's name, and looked at the other person, a little funny. Was he using his own image?

Gong Shoucheng looked at him calmly, and smiled slightly: "This person is my younger brother."

Liu Ting was overjoyed and blurted out, "You also have a younger brother!"

Gong Shoucheng smiled warmly and his eyes were full of kindness.

"Exactly, compared to other images, I think the image of brother-in-law is the most kind and lovely, but this is just my personal opinion."

"Haha, when it comes to my brother, I'm going to have a good talk with you." Liu Ting smiled happily, looking at the candidates' works and evaluating them, while also constantly communicating with them on the other side.

The atmosphere became lively and everyone was extremely friendly and harmonious.

In this way, the morning exams of Gong Shoucheng and others ended one after another.

Qi Xiu opened his eyes, and in front of him was the place where he was before being sucked into that place.

"You're back, come and have a meal. Thanks to your performance, I also have something to eat," came Xiao Huo's voice.

He turned around and saw that the other person was sitting on a small stool with a plate of strange-shaped things in front of him, making strange noises and moving constantly.

His eyes were filled with joy, a white cloth hung on his chest, his cheeks were bulging, and he was constantly stuffing those things into his mouth, which made people's appetite disappear.

On the ground, a white dining table appeared out of thin air, with a bowl of rice, some pickles, some fruits and vegetables, and tables and chairs next to it.

He was silent for a moment, walked forward, picked up the rice bowl and looked at it carefully, looking at the crystal clear rice grains, and remained silent for a while.

"Don't worry, this is all done by 'Chef' Tangdou. It can replenish your energy and is very nutritious."

Xiaohuo glanced at him and revealed the other person's state of mind nonchalantly.

Qi Xiu made up his mind, put it into his mouth, and started eating. Although it was indeed delicious from a normal human perspective, he did not pay attention to it.

Isn't it going to have any unwanted effects on the body? That's right. He is still a candidate after all, so he won't do it privately.

Qi Xiu started to eat voraciously. He still had an exam waiting for him in the afternoon.

"That's right. After you're full, eat some fruits to replenish your nutrients and have a peaceful sleep. I can totally rely on you."

Xiao Huo smiled happily when he saw this, and also speeded up and kept eating.

Qi Xiu glanced sideways and saw that his intelligence had improved compared to before...

The original text is as follows.

Youshi records: Jiang Yanbo, whose original name was Jiang Cheng, had a rare virtuous name. He was respectful, filial and virtuous. He was sung by the people of Youguo at that time. He liked to talk about state affairs and was unhappy with his superiors. At the age of fifteen, he entered the capital and took the exam. The next year, he failed and was angry. And go, touring the north and south of the country.

When I arrived at the Xiyuan Tower, I climbed up and looked up. I expressed my thoughts and became a famous poem. I expressed my feelings. When I heard about it, I was overjoyed and said that I am a great virtue. I sent someone to recall me and recommended it to the emperor. I received the gift and went up to Qingyun. He showed his talents to the fullest, and served as an official to the left prime minister. He exerted power in both the government and the public, and was granted the title of Duke Yanbo.

Emperor Mian was a confidant of the new emperor. In a few years, the entire family would be executed.

The above statement: There are words with negative meanings that have been passed down to the world for a long time. Now kill them quickly.

The people of Youguo have concluded that what they said in the past is conclusive, but it is better to observe it carefully and not to win!
