Global Examination

The old man trimmed the sail and dried his hands hastily on his trousers.

He jumped off the rudder, his eyes scanning back and forth between You Huo and Qin Chen.

"A young man in good health, why would he have the nerve to watch me, an old man with no strength to restrain himself, busy?" The old man's exposed arms were full of muscles. In terms of shoulders alone, they were twice as thick as ordinary people.

Fighting back is powerless...

Qin Chen said with a smile: "The chicken is wronged."

Old man: "..."

He was so angry that he gave Qin Chen a hard look: "Don't fold your arms and do nothing, I'm most annoyed by young people holding their arms and lifting their chins, oh, and putting on a cold face, it's all just pretending!"

You Huo was implicated innocently: "...Why do you help me to tell the truth."

The old man kicked a deck on the ground and said: "The shaft is a little rusty, I can't handle it by myself, help me open it. Otherwise, you will stay on the deck and wait for the waves to come!"

Fine.

You Huo was speechless in his heart, and stretched out his feet to test the reality of the deck.

This move was purely out of inertia, and in the end he stepped on Qin Chen's shoe.

You Huo: "..."

Qin Chen: "Are you childish, this examinee?"

"I'll check the deck, what are you doing here?"

"Coincidentally, me too." Qin Chen said.

He raised his shoes and interviewed a few places and said: "It's okay, the bottom is an empty floor. The two sides are uneven, you can—"

While talking, Youyou had already pulled out a thin iron hook from the pile of debris beside him.

He chiseled the hook straight into the uneven deck.

With a snap, sawdust flew.

The old man silently took two small steps back to the side.

You Huo raised a long leg and stepped on the slanted iron hook.

click-

There was a crack all over the deck.

Qin Chen was still wearing the pair of black leather gloves, and before You Huo could make a move, he had already bent down and put his hand into the raised gap, and snapped it off vigorously.

The entire deck was lifted.

The rusty hinges fell off.

You Huo held the iron hook and glanced at Qin Chen.

It's been a long time since he met anyone who could keep up with the rhythm.

But the old man's face was already green.

……

That deck was actually a trapdoor.

After opening it, you can see the stairs leading to the cabin. There are kerosene lamps hanging around the cabin, and you can see the separated bunks inside.

……

The old man opened his mouth and was about to order something.

You Huo patted him on the back and raised his chin: "Lead the way, thank you."

The old man stared again and closed his mouth.

The three of them got down from the cabin together and covered the bad deck again, and the boat became warm immediately.

The old man ignored them, went into a single bunk, and slammed the door shut in front of them.

This person had nothing on his mind, within a minute, he was snoring like thunder.

When You Huo saw the dirty quilt, he didn't want to touch it, so he found a chair in the cabin and sat down.

After a while, Qin Chen also came over, his fingers were still pressed against the tip of his nose, obviously very smoky.

Just like that, he still didn't forget to tease You Huo: "What day is it today, you're awake?"

You Huo: "..."

He glanced at Qin Chen: "I'll put you on that bed to breathe for half an hour, what do you think?"

Qin Chen laughed: "It's fine, but I may drag you to share the blessings."

Youzhuoxin said fuck you.

"How much do you remember about the coachman at sea?" Qin Chen asked.

With one elbow resting on the table, he flicked the other hand on the lamp, making the flame flicker slightly.

Seeing that prying the deck was a tacit understanding, You Huo replied: "Holland."

How many years have passed since he graduated from high school, and he didn't study liberal arts, and he didn't touch history at all during his third year of high school, so the things he remembered were very limited.

In short, in which century, Holland was known as the sea coachman.

I can't remember the reason, but it seems to be because it is cheap.

The Netherlands has a belly cabin that can accommodate more cargo, and the rent is cheaper than other merchant ships, and it is said that it can save lives.

That was all he remembered of the Sea Coachman.

but……

"Do you remember the difference?" You Huo said again, "Will you test these things in a regular manner?"

Qin Chen: "If you are lucky, there is a one-in-a-thousand chance."

You Huo let out a "huh": "Dreams are faster."

Isn't the characteristic of this silly ratio system obvious enough?Where is the typical test.

Even those who pass the exam have made nine twists and eighteen turns, which is very dishonest.

……

The ship responsible for picking up people is small in size.

Within a few minutes of driving, a storm suddenly appeared on the sea.

It was as if he had just left the simulated fake sea and finally entered the real sea.

The sea is rough.

Across the thick wooden cabin, they could hear the rumble of thunderstorms and the occasional flash of lightning through a trapdoor.

The boat was thrown askew and rocked.

You Huo, a person who is not seasick, is very unhappy, and Qin Chen's face is also not good-looking.

In such an extremely uncomfortable environment, they both fell asleep on the table without realizing it.

……

You Huo was awakened by the biting cold.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw the gloomy sky.

Sky?

He sat up and found that he was no longer in the dirty cabin of the boat.

Below him was a barely flat black rock covered with a layer of ice.The reef was very large, and Qin Chen was lying on his side beside it.

This should be at sea, because behind them is an isolated island made of rocks, and there are nearly twenty wooden boats crookedly around the island.

A dozen or so of them were the same as the one they were on, small and dilapidated.

Three others were much larger.

One of the three ships was crooked near You Huo.

It can be seen that the deck of this kind of ship is very narrow, but the cabin is huge, like a quick-frozen dumpling with a big belly.

The lights hanging on the ship were all extinguished, and some bows and masts were frozen. It could be seen that they had been moored for a while, and no one was there.

You Huo patted Qin Chen twice, feeling strange.

He is awake, but this person still hasn't responded...

The other party was patted twice, and woke up with squinted eyes.He was initially unaware of the anomaly.This is enough to show that Qin Chen is really not afraid of the cold at all.

When he sat up holding the bridge of his nose, he even said something to You Huo: "Morning..."

You Huo wanted to engrave the word "Zao" on his face.

"You blow the air first, and then decide whether you want to continue to say hello like this."

You Huo took a step to the side, and the wind blocked by him smashed towards Qin Chen.

"..."

The effect was immediate, and the invigilator instantly woke up.

Qin Chen stood up, covered his eyebrows with gloves and looked out.

As far as the eye can see, there are whitish ice and snow everywhere, like a polar ice field.

"Still in the sea?" Qin Chen frowned.

"Yeah." You Huo pointed back with his thumb and said, "The island is behind."

Qin Chen glanced around and said, "Go, go to the island and have a look."

……

A moment later, You Huo, Qin Chen... and Qin Chen's suitcase stood in front of a certain cave on the island.

Someone pressed a piece of gray and white canvas at the entrance of the cave to make a mark.

Uncomfortably, they thought it was a cloud of snow that was pressing down on the canvas.

When I walked in, I found that there was an eye on the snow.

Qin Chen frowned and recognized it, and said, "Arctic Rabbit."

The arctic hare had been dead for a long time, frozen together with the canvas and sealed by a layer of ice.

You Huo was about to bend down to look, when a familiar voice from the system came from the Arctic Rabbit's body:

[All candidates have arrived at the examination room. 】

[This round of exams is a large-scale exam room, with a total of 36 candidates, who are divided into 18 groups based on the departure dock, with two candidates in each group.The sum of the scores of the candidates in the group is the basis for the calculation of the grade of the test]

[The scoring method of this game adopts the behavioral participation model, there is no answer sheet, and there is no standard answer.In addition to the original score, there are opportunities for extra points and the possibility of additional deductions. 】

[At the end of the exam, those with a combined score of C will need to take the re-examination, and those with a D score will be eliminated together. 】

[Now the starting scores of each group of candidates are announced as follows. 】

There was the sound of chiseling stones inside and outside the huge cave, and in the blink of an eye, the names of 18 groups of candidates appeared on the flat stone surface above the Arctic Rabbit's head.

Those names are grouped in pairs with a bar next to them showing their combined points.

The higher the score, the higher the rank and the longer the bar.

The entire ranking is arranged according to the score from high to low.

You Huo glanced at it, and the top ranked group had a total of 42 points.

Then there is a group of 40 points, a group of 39.5 points, and a group of 35 points...

down in order.

They saw Shu Xue's name at the bottom of the mid-range. She was in the same group as another candidate named Wu Li. The two scored 26 points in total. They are currently ranked 12th, with a tentative grade of C.

Other than that, no acquaintances were found.

Yu Wen and his son were really not in the examination room, but thinking about it better, maybe what they encountered was the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

As for You Huo and Qin Chen...

These two daimyos are dignified and dignified, Shen is in the penultimate position.

Invigilator No. 001 did not add but subtracted, and pulled the group's total score to 17.25 with his own efforts, dominating the D class regardless of the weather.

You Huo Mian is colder than the Arctic Rabbit.

Qin Chen met his gaze, spread his hands and said, "Thank you for helping the poor with the top students. You didn't let me sit at the bottom of the list. I decided to perform well and try to give you some face."

You Huo: "..."

If such a bachelor, the system dead rabbit can't stand it.

The system voice interrupted him unceremoniously:

[Scores are updated in real time. If you have any questions unrelated to the exam answers, you can ask the invigilator 154, 922, 078, or 021. 】

When You Huo heard 154 and 922, he glanced at Qin Chen.

"You are also the invigilator, why do you look so happy when you hear 154 and 922?" Qin Chen asked.

"...Which eye of yours sees the fallacy?"

While talking, the dead rabbit spoke again:

[The exam has officially started, and the exam questions are now played. 】

[In the winter of 1597, three Dutch merchant ships were trapped by the ice-covered sea while passing through Russia, and temporarily docked on an unnamed desert island, waiting for the long winter to pass.This is the eighth month they have lived here, and there are still 8 days before the end of winter and the ice melting on the sea surface. Candidates from each group are asked to help all members of the merchant fleet to return to the voyage smoothly. 】

[Problem requirements: No one of the crew members can die, otherwise, the candidates who ranked last in the group at 0:[-] a.m. that day will be responsible for the death. 】

[If there are more than two deaths on that day, it will be postponed to the next day, and the candidates who ranked last in the group at 0:[-] on the same day will still be responsible for the deaths, and so on until the number of dead crew members is covered. 】

Responsible for death?

How to bear it?instead of death?Or go to the funeral?

You Huo couldn't help but think of the villagers in Chasu Village, and his face was ugly.

Suddenly, he felt two taps on the back of his hand.

You Huo looked down and found that it was Qin Chen's finger.

"Don't look at my hand, let you look at the hole over there." Qin Chen said, raising his finger.

You Huo looked over, and saw someone leaning out from the entrance of the cave.

Those people were wearing thick gray cloth coats similar to those of the Middle Ages, brown woolen vests, and some were surrounded by dirty animal skins. They looked like foreigners.

With haggard faces and dull expressions, they walked out slowly carrying a few people.

"what happened?"

You Huo looked at the person who was being carried, and his heart skipped a beat.

Those people's eyes were closed, their faces were ashen and lifeless.Two were even hard...

The leader seemed to be able to understand a little Chinese. He turned his eyes dullly, looked at You Huo and Qin Chen slowly, and said in very bad Chinese: "Dead, crew."

Qin Chen's voice sounded softly from the side: "It's a bit bad, 8 crew members died at the beginning."

The penultimate group was not enough to fill in, and it was their turn to be the penultimate soon.
