Chapter 21: Fortune telling is much easier than answering exams (Part 3)

Yu Chengze pushed the bridge of his eyeglasses and raised his head. When he understood Lin Qingyin’s movements, he was stunned…

What top student?

Is it true that people collapse so fast?!!!

Li Yanyu stared at the tortoiseshell and seemed to have understood Lin Qingyin’s actions. He touched his chin in surprise and said: “She is tossing a coin to guess the answer? One coin represents one option, but there are only three coins. What if you the answer is D?”

Yu Chengze glared at Li Yanyu, who was talking nonsense. After the listening test finished, he walked down the platform, bent his index finger, and tapped Lin Qingyin’s table. Then, he pointed at the tortoiseshell on her hand: “Put away your things that have nothing to do with the exam.”

Lin Qingyin raised her head and looked at Yu Chengze with an innocent look: “This is related to the exam! I am figuring out the answer here!”

Yu Chengze almost choked to death when he heard Lin Qingyin’s righteous words. His chest couldn’t stop moving up and down in suffocation. If it was another student, he wouldn’t ask more questions, and would just take away the test papers. However, he couldn’t help but want to be more patient with Lin Qingyin.

The students nearby looked at Yu Chengze standing beside Lin Qingyin, while the other stretched their heads to look. Yu Chengze didn’t want to disturb the exam, he lowered his voice and said to Lin Qingyin: “Look at the questions more, maybe you’ll get it right, do the right thing and don’t make a fool of yourself.”

Lin Qingyin nodded her head. Yu Chengze returned to the podium, but he still looked at her. However, Lin Qingyin started tossing coins again. Yu Chengze had a headache and patted his forehead. When he was about to go down the podium again, Li Yanyu grabbed him: “Let her toss it. When the score comes out, she will know how bad it is to do this. After that, she won’t do this again.”

When Yu Chengze heard this, he remembered that his classmates before do the same thing when they were still students. Some of them use coins and dice on exams. Some of them were so unlucky that they avoided all the correct answers. They might have tried as well closing their eyes and picked the answer blindly.

The English test has a total of 150 points. 30 points of listening comprehension, 40 points of reading comprehension, and 45 points of language knowledge application. They only need to write on writing comprehension, which accounts for only 35 points.

Li Yanyu watched Lin Qingyin answer the questions with one hand while shaking the tortoiseshell with her other hand. Some students were still reading and trying to understand the exam. However, she already turned the exam to the second page. When the other students reached the second page, Lin Qingyin had walked to the podium and handed her exam.

After receiving the test paper, Li Yanyu turned the test paper directly to the last page. The writing comprehension test was all empty and no single word was written up.

With more than an hour before the end of the test, Li Yanyu took out the answer sheet of the exam from his bag and correct Lin Qingyin’s test paper. He wanted to see how many correct answers Lin Qingyin could get by tossing the coins.

Listening questions, all correct!

Reading comprehension, all correct!

The language knowledge application, all correct!

Aside from writing comprehension, Lin Qingyin scored 115 points on the English test. Although it wasn’t so good, it can’t also be said to be bad, but… …

This score was obtained after tossing the coins!

Li Yanyu was so depressed. He wanted to take this opportunity to correct Lin Qingyin’s attitude so he let her toss the coins until the end. But as a result, her score was too incredible… …

What kind of luck is this! Doesn’t this look like someone got so lucky of buying winning lottery tickets? Why does he felt like the test answer sheet was throw back at him?

After writing the score with a depressed mood, Li Yanyu couldn’t help but say to Yu Chengze: “Don’t let her throw coins in the afternoon, her luck is simply a cheat!”

Yu Chengze nodded and called Lin Qingyin out of the classroom before the exam in the afternoon: “In the future, except for test papers and pens, you can’t put anything else on your table.” He looked at Lin Qingyin and emphasize: “To be more specific, you’re not allowed to flip coins to get the answers! This only happened today because our school is not strictly regulated during the exam. If you do this during the college entrance examination, your action can directly be counted as cheating.”

Lin Qingyin nodded her head with a little regret. After the chemistry test paper was issued, she read it from beginning to end. The multiple-choice questions and identification questions consist of  50 points each.

In fact, multiple-choice questions can be done by intuition and without needing the help of the tortoiseshell and ancient coins, but the chances of getting the correct answer are lower.

Lin Qingyin wrote letter A on the first question, but she felt something was wrong after writing it, so she changed her answer to B. However, after finishing writing it, it still looked unpleasant, so Lin Qingyin drew a horizontal line on it, and wrote letter C… …

It can be said that relying on intuition to get the answer was not reliable compared to the tortoiseshell!

*

When the first day of the exam was over, Lin Qingyin left the school with dizziness and light-headed condition. She felt that she work harder this time than when she was trying to deduce the secrets of heaven in her previous life.

Lin Qingyin rubbed her temples. She still had to take the exam tomorrow, but she couldn’t pull out her spirit to review. She doesn’t want to read books for the time being. She just wanted to have a good rest. It’s better to perform divination to relax.

Lin Qingyin took out her mobile phone and called Fatty Wang: “Ask if there is anyone who wants to read their fortune. Pick 5 people. I’ll wait for them in the park!”
