Rules of the Exam Room (2/2)
Library Examination Regulations
“Are you going to utilize these regulations?” Huang Qiao Yi asked Meng Ming.
“Look at #15,” Meng Ming pondered it for a bit and said, “As long as one is caught violating any regulation, it’ll be immediately viewed as cheating…”
“That’s right! Hm, as long as Brother Meng Ming forces Zhou Lun Yu to violate a regulation, then…”
Meng Ming tossed the regulations sheet in his hand, having seemingly memorized it already. He leisurely smiled and said, “Cheating isn’t like that. We already agreed earlier that we’d be competing in total points, not who would get caught. Regulations, I’m sure we’ll both violate; moreover, it’s necessary. What we need to is—make sure our violating actions aren’t discovered by anyone.”
“Eh…”
Although most of the first year Class A students had been to Lin Xian Library before, that didn’t mean they knew how the test site arrangement was like. After several minutes, the students all alighted the bus at the library. When they saw the sign in front that said “Occupied by Lin Xian Central High For Midterm, Suspended Business For 4 Days”, they weren’t sure whether to laugh or cry.
The examinees in Class A all used the elevator to get to the third floor. After walking out, they saw a pair of glass doors on their left with a seal stuck on them.
This was the exam site.
This room had originally been full of bookshelves, but those shelves had been moved to another place to clear out many spaces. Afterwards, the large tables and chairs from the reading area had been brought in for the examinees to use.
The exam site is pretty simple… Meng Ming inspected the entire room.
The large, square-shaped room had surveillance cameras hanging from all four corners of the ceiling. These devices had originally been used to prevent people from stealing books, but were now being used to proctor the exam. The tables and chairs were arranged from east to west, so that the windows facing the south provided enough light. The reading area had originally been in the north, but because it was a small area, it wasn’t being used for the exam.
“Not bad, there are surveillance cameras in every direction.” Meng Ming hadn’t seen these kinds of cameras in ages, and grew slightly excited, “Those models are way too old. The camera lens is actually exposed on the outside.”
Hearing this, Huang Qiao Yi couldn’t help but say, “…The other exam sites I mentioned earlier, including the zoo, all have surveillance cameras…”
Teacher Wang had already left. The students all stood outside the exam room, waiting for their proctor to come and break the seal.
“Zhuge Meng Ming.” Another male voice called out to Meng Ming. This time, it was Qiu Min Ke.
“You won’t have a problem with the surveillance cameras, right?” He said, “I won’t get involved this time.” He then left with a strange expression.
Actually, Meng Ming hadn’t even noticed him.
At that moment, someone came from the elevator. It was the first year Class A’s proctor! When the students noticed him, they all turned around in excitement to look—and discovered that it was actually that geography teacher with a patch of his hair missing! He was normally pretty muddle-headed, so the fact that they had drawn him as their proctor made the L-types feel happy, thinking that the exam would be pretty relaxing.
The old man was wearing his fake hair, and had a key tightly gripped in his hand. He said to the students, “You students can all enter now. Don’t think of cheating; it doesn’t matter if I can’t see it clearly, as the four surveillance cameras on the ceiling can definitely catch it.”
He then ripped open the seal in front of the door.
Now that they were about to enter the room, everyone began to feel nervous about where their arranged seating was. Meng Ming was no exception.
He thought: No matter how many surveillance cameras there are, I’m not afraid of being caught with the Heavenly Eye Technique. I just cannot sit in the frontmost row…compared to the surveillance cameras, I need to be more cautious of that guy…”
Meng Ming glanced at Zhou Lun Yu, only to see him run his fingers through his hair and calmly enter the room, as though any exam environment would be unable to phase him!
Hmph… Meng Ming rubbed his fingers together and began to run some mental calculations.It’s a good thing that old baldie taught me the flying disk. As long as I use the disk, I can cut his red threads. Let’s see what you do then! He followed the crowd and walked into the exam site as well.
After entering the room, the people were all shocked at seeing the arrangement of the tables and chairs.
They were normal rectangular-shaped tables, with no drawers, so the stationary was placed on the tables. The tables were were each 2 meters apart, and perfectly filled the entire square-shaped room. The seats were arranged in 7 rows and 6 columns, but the main point was—that the tables were arranged in opposite direction of those in the adjacent columns!
The point of this arrangement is to decrease the chances of examinees looking at others’ tests…if the text on the test papers are backwards, it’ll be much harder to copy. Meng Ming immediately analyzed the intention of this arrangement. However, this isn’t any hindrance to the Heavenly Eye Technique.
“Very interesting!” Just like all the other examinees, Meng Ming searched for the seat the corresponded with his student number. Luckily, it was in the middle! The fifth seat in the third column. After Meng Ming sat down, he reflexively looked around again. It felt like he’d just entered a casino, and sat down at a gambling table.
He continued to analyze: …Zhou Lun Yu’s seat…is at the window on the right. He’s facing this direction, I really don’t want to see him…Little Qiao is in the upper left corner…the other people don’t matter, but…”
Meng Ming turned around to look—

Why is Bai Jiu sitting behind me…! When Meng Ming saw the girl behind him, he began to panic.
Just then, Zhou Lun Yu seemed to look around as well.
Finally, the two people’s gazes met again!
Just before the exam began, Zhou Lun Yu organized his stationary and smirked at Meng Ming:Zhuge Meng Ming, do you really think you have the skills to beat me? You’re about to experience just how great the difference between our strengths is.
On the other hand, Meng Ming was extremely confident: Difference? The Zhuge Style Cheating Technique is the quintessence. No matter how good or bad the situation is, anyone has a chance of winning! I’ll prove that to you in this exam!
