Chapter 1009: Chapter 475: No One Can Cheat In Front of Me!

The atmosphere in the examination room was solemn, and everyone bent over their desks working on questions, not willing to waste even a second.

If one scored well, they could be directly recruited by the Security Bureau, which was even more comfortable than being a civil servant. Saying it was a quick rise to the heavens, spanning social classes was not an exaggeration.

As a newly-minted God Hunter, one wouldn’t understand much, wouldn’t be able to make big money, and life safety couldn’t be guaranteed.

Joining the Security Bureau for a few years, making some connections, even if one later struck out on their own, this experience could help find a good team.

He Zi’ang had some brains. Worried that the examiner would notice something off about him, he quickly composed himself, but he couldn’t help glancing at the three examiners.

When his gaze landed on the young man.

Their eyes met!

The guy was watching him!

Damn!

He Zi’ang was jolted instantly, hurriedly lowering his head.

"This little nobody, he shouldn’t remember me, right?"

He Zi’ang muttered, starting to answer the questions.

However, he knew that the questions weren’t hard, the difficulty was the Rule Contamination that would erupt while answering. Luckily, he had a method to break through it.

As the candidates’ attention focused on the questions, the Rule Contamination on the test papers erupted.

The more absorbed and focused they were, the faster they became contaminated!

This eruption time was also part of the assessment, but Lin Baici didn’t need to record it, as six cameras installed in the room would handle it.

After completing fifteen questions, Xu Wei suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, his vision blurred, and when he looked at the questions again, they seemed as incomprehensible as Martian script.

He couldn’t even read the questions, let alone answer them!

Xu Wei immediately became anxious, his heart pounding, as he looked down.

Nope!

Still nope!

Still clueless!

Xu Wei felt completely numb, and just when he thought he was done for, a cool chill suddenly emerged on his left wrist. Like a slippery grass snake, it traveled up his arm, over his shoulder and neck, and eventually into his brain.

Hisss!

Xu Wei got another jolt, his mind clearing up considerably.

After this cooling sensation passed five times, Xu Wei completely calmed down, snapping out of the illusion, and when he looked at the questions again, they could be described in two words...

Simple!

Xu Wei twisted the Bodhi bead bracelet on his left wrist.

This trinket was utterly unremarkable, not even suitable for a boutique gallery, akin to those sold as tourist traps by roadside stalls.

Yet, this bracelet had cost Xu Wei a considerable sum of money.

Because two of the Bodhi beads had been contaminated by Taboo things, carrying an effect that could clear and awaken the mind, Xu Wei had purchased it specifically as a cheating device for this written exam.

And it was quite effective!

"Next up, let’s see how the second test goes!"

Xu Wei let out a sigh of relief and continued with the questions.

Footsteps sounded—it was the examiner. Xu Wei didn’t take it seriously, assuming he was just normally patrolling. As for himself, he hadn’t done anything; surely the examiner couldn’t just apprehend him?

Lin Baici passed by Xu Wei, glanced at him, and moved on without stopping. He walked half the room and then stood next to He Zi’ang’s desk.

The boy had not yet triggered Rule Contamination because he was confident of this round, always getting distracted, observing others. Of course, there was some nervousness, too.

Fear and worry

were a normal psychological response!

"What are you looking at so erratically?"

Lin Baici inquired.

"I’m not!"

He Zi’ang argued, lowering his head.

"Take off your bracelet!"

Lin Baici commanded.

"Ah?"

He Zi’ang was taken aback, then went numb. How could he continue the exam without his bracelet? So, he quickly explained, "This is just a regular bracelet."

"Take it off!"

Lin Baici rebuked, "I’ll hold on to it for you. You can have it back after the written test is over!"

Can’t give it,

otherwise, I’m done for!

He Zi’ang took a deep breath and put on a pitiful face: "You’re deliberately targeting me, messing with my mindset!"

"How can I take the test like this?"

A few people looked over, but most did not, because they were caught up in Rule Contamination and couldn’t pay attention to anything else.

"Don’t look around, focus on your own test!"

Liu Langqing chided.

An Yi Xian immediately came over, sizing up He Zi’ang: "What’s wrong with him?"

Lin Baici moved closer to An Yi Xian’s ear and murmured, "Cheating!"

"What?"

An Yi Xian’s brows instantly furrowed: "You can’t be serious? This is not like an exam where you can sneak in cheat sheets!"

"You now have two choices,"

Lin Baici said to He Zi’ang, his tone stern, "First, hand over the bracelet and rely on your abilities to answer questions; second, I’ll remove you from the room!"

"Of course, that also means you’ll lose your qualification and can’t participate in the following assessments!"

He Zi’ang felt overwhelmed.

Wasn’t it supposed to be a sure thing?

Why did this surprise occur?

He Zi’ang didn’t understand. If those two aunties had seen his cheating method, that would be one thing, as they were older with plenty of experience, but why did this younger fellow seem to know better?

"You have three seconds to decide!"

Lin Baici did not count down, but with a single forefinger, he tapped on the desk.

This finger, long and white, seemed a waste not to play the piano with, but at that moment, He Zi’ang wished he could smash it with a hammer.

Then came the middle finger!

Although the examiners were silent, a tremendous pressure was pervading.

He Zi’ang looked up at Lin Baici.

The man’s face was expressionless, as cold as a chunk of Arctic ice. Those deep, clear eyes seemed as if they could see through everything.

Gulp!

He Zi’ang swallowed hard.
