After Fishing For 10 Years, I Became A Saint Without Knowing How To Raise Beasts - Chapter 419
419 Five Minutes Again?!
“I’d like to see what this guy is going to do now. It took him just five minutes earlier, right? We should only give him ten minutes this time. That should be more than enough time. Just watch him mess it up!”
“Aren’t we going a bit too far?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Anyone who can fork out the ten million required to study alchemy should be the scion of a major family or organization. If we bully him like this, won’t his family take offense? It’ll strain the relationship between our families and his.”
!!
“Hehe, do you really think that will happen? My family is also quite powerful, but we wouldn’t dare to pull off something like this in the Alchemist Guild!”
“Maybe this guy who secretly colluded with some people in the Alchemist Guild to obtain the assessment questions in advance.”
“There’s no other explanation for him being able to complete it in five minutes!”
Everyone was embroiled in an intense discussion.
One side felt that they should not burn bridges with someone they had yet to identify, while the other side believed that Yuchi had merely concluded with certain people from the Alchemist Guild.
The Alchemist Guild was the preeminent organization in the Alchemist Valley, and was considered sacred by many. If it became corrupted, it would mean that the entire Alchemist Valley had no future. Therefore, they would not allow such an intolerable thing to take place before their very eyes.
In any case, the consensus was that everyone present felt that Yuchi was finished. With so many high-level alchemists involved, the assessment would be several times harder.
The situation progressed quickly. After the high-level alchemists heard about the situation, they looked at Yuchi with dissatisfied expressions. After all, the speed that Yuchi had completed the assessment paper was unheard of.
It was not that they had not secretly leaked the papers to others before. After all, this assessment round was not that important.
It should be known that this round was only a theoretical assessment. There were more assessments after this, and the candidates would have to pass those too.
Therefore, the questions for the theoretical assessment could be sold for money, as it would not affect the overall assessment.
“You should have been more patient when he got the questions and pretended that the assessment was very difficult. Then, no one would have found out. Furthermore, why did you get full marks? One or two wrong answers would have steered suspicion away.’
A certain third-level was currently whispering to Yuchi in a dissatisfied tone.
However, Yuchi did not respond, and simply smiled.
When the alchemist saw this, he became even more certain that Yuchi had used his own means to obtain the questions in advance.
This made him feel even more helpless.
Later on, if Yuchi was unable to pass the test, then the other students would definitely cause a ruckus. At that time, the Alchemist Guild would definitely have to find a scapegoat to take the blame. Furthermore, the incident would damage the reputation of the Alchemist Guild.
However, there was no other way.
Sigh.
As the crowd looked on, a set of assessment papers was passed around among the other students for perusal. Everyone could tell that the level of difficulty of the assessment was higher than the original one.
There was also no need to worry about the questions being leaked, as they had been written by the alchemists present. Even if Yuchi had bribed one, he could not have bribed them all.
After that, Yuchi started answering the questions as everyone scrutinized him closely.
They were all subjective questions.
There were 100 questions in total.
Then…
An unbelievable scene occurred.
Yuchi only gave the papers a once-over, and then began to answer. He wrote his answers rapidly, barely even pausing between questions. In fact, he was writing faster than the observers were reading his answers.
The 100 questions only took him five minutes.
Yuchi simply decided to be ostentatious about the whole thing. Showing off some talent would allow him to progress faster and hopefully skip levels as he studied alchemy. He had no intention of sticking around the Alchemist Valley for too long.
Thus, he chose the high-profile approach.
By this time, he had placed his pen down, and was looking at the stunned alchemists in front of him.
“I’ll have to trouble everyone to check if my answers are correct.”
After Yuchi finished speaking, the alchemists crowded around the question paper, each one checking out Yuchi’s answers.
However, when they saw his answers, they gasped. Sure, there were textbook answers to these questions, but Yuchi had gone far and above that. It was simply amazing!
