## Chapter 43: Can't Solve Problem One
Jiangnan stayed up late learning English!
When he woke up the next day, he felt absolutely refreshed!
There were messages from Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao on WeChat.
Yingxue: "Good luck on the exam, Xiao Nan. Don't forget to eat one sausage and two eggs tonight!"
You have to eat the sausage first, then the eggs!
That makes 100!
If you eat one egg first, then sausage and egg, doesn't that make 010?
Hmm?
Something feels a bit off about that!
He replied: "You got it!"
Lang Mie: "What about my candy?"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes and sent her a picture of the Ultimate Beauty Pill!
Lang Mie: "Is it really sweet?"
٩(º﹃º٩)
Nan Shen: Guess?
Lang Mie: ...
Self-study period started with exam seat assignments!
Seeing where they had been assigned, classmates rushed to contact others in the same exam room.
Emergency operation teams were formed!
Coordinated operations!
As for the exam, Jiangnan wasn't worried at all!
That's the confidence of being a top student!
Someone asked: "Nan Shen! Which exam room are you in?"
Jiangnan: "Room 3. Why?"
"Damn! What a coincidence! I'm in Room 3 too! Thirsty, Nan Shen? I've got some black tea here!"
"What fate! I'm also in Room 3! Lunch is on me, Nan Shen!"
"Here, let me massage your shoulders!"
In an instant, a crowd gathered around Jiangnan's desk, all putting on eager-to-please expressions!
Jiangnan smiled kindly: "Don't worry! We're classmates, right? Leave it to me!"
With those words from Jiangnan, their smiles grew even wider!
This was in the bag!
Jiangnan's academic record was notoriously good!
He was something of an oddball in the Spirit Martial class!
Li Xiang watched Jiangnan surrounded by admirers and sneered inwardly.
This time, he had studied his ass off!
His goal was to surpass Jiangnan in the cultural exam.
Then he'd show him up at the Heavenly Pool Spiritual Ruins later! A two-pronged attack!
Just let him enjoy his moment a little longer!
The first exam was about to start!
Jiangnan was walking toward his exam room.
Then he ran into the big guy, Wu Liang, in the hallway!
He had a red headband tied around his head with three big characters written on it!
Strong! Strong! Strong!
He hadn't seen him in a few days, and now he was even wearing glasses!
Looked like he'd really been hitting the books!
With those black-rimmed glasses on.
And honestly? He actually looked the part!
"How's it going, big guy? Got top three in the bag?"
Wu Liang pushed up his glasses, looking completely confident.
He patted his chest and said: "Big bro! Don't worry! It's locked down. Everything's under control!"
Jiangnan was stunned.
Whoa?
That confident? Nice! No wonder he was his man!
"Alright! I'll wait for your good news. If you get top three, I'll give you a big reward!"
Jiangnan punched Wu Liang in the chest and entered his exam room.
He was surprised to find Tang Qianya in his exam room too.
Jiangnan smiled and said hi.
Under the stern gazes of two proctors, the exam began!
Jiangnan was frantically filling in his answer sheet.
His 2B pencil was practically smoking from the speed!
For the Chinese exam, Jiangnan finished even the essay in under 30 minutes!
Under the stunned gazes of all his classmates.
He stood up and turned in his paper!
No way around it — he was just that confident!
So suave!
So damn arrogant!
The other students in the room were fuming.
Are you a human printing press or what?
A Chinese paper in under thirty minutes?
[Resentment from Zhou Qiliang +666!]
[Resentment from Wang Xin +888!]
...
The resentment list was refreshing like crazy. Jiangnan felt a wave of satisfaction.
No problem!
This was exactly the effect he wanted!
He had to take this chance to rake in some sweet resentment points!
He was about to walk out of the exam room.
The proctor: "Where do you think you're going?"
"Go sit back down. You're not allowed to leave early during the exam!"
Jiangnan: ???
Stuck in his seat, Jiangnan had nothing to do but enjoy the occasional resentment points that came through.
He was overjoyed.
Bored, he looked around and spotted quite a few tricks.
Some students had cheatsheets written inside the labels of their water bottles.
Others had them hidden in their pencil cases. Some even wrote on their hands.
Everyone was showing off their skills.
Jiangnan even found a genius who was tapping on the desk with his fingers, transmitting answers in Morse code!
Seven or eight students were leaning in, listening carefully, doing calculations, and furiously writing down answers.
Jiangnan watched, completely speechless.
With that kind of skill, why the hell aren't you just studying?!
To help them get back on the right track!
Jiangnan showed his selfless side.
When it came to things like this.
Jiangnan never hesitated.
So he started tapping on the desk rhythmically with his fingers.
The students were confused.
Whoa?
That tapping is kind of dense...
This rhythm... Hmm, this must be how you solve this problem, right?
A full half hour later, someone happened to turn around.
And saw Jiangnan tapping on the desk too.
Staring out the window with a lost expression.
Then he looked at the half page of answers he'd written.
He nearly coughed up blood.
Holy crap!
If you're feeling lost, just feel lost!
Stop tapping your damn desk!
Those students were going crazy.
Jiangnan watched the resentment list refreshing like crazy.
Hmm.
Remember to study hard in the future!
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Tang Qianya, who was sitting diagonally behind him.
Her pretty face was full of tension.
When the proctor turned away, she slid her hand under the desk.
And slightly lifted her short skirt.
Then Jiangnan saw her leg covered in tiny black characters.
She snuck a glance and started answering.
Tang Qianya seemed to sense Jiangnan's gaze.
Her face turned red as a ripe apple as she stuck her tongue out at him.
Jiangnan quickly looked away.
Hmm...
Don't look at what you shouldn't! Don't look at what you shouldn't!
The second exam was English!
Jiangnan hadn't been slacking off in his revision either. He finished the paper early again.
Only this time, he didn't turn it in early.
Since he couldn't leave the exam room anyway.
Just then, a breeze blew by.
Jiangnan noticed a crumpled note had been blown onto his desk.
Nice!
Using Wind Element technique to pass notes now!
A true talent!
He saw Wang Ping frantically making eye contact with him.
Jiangnan opened the note. On it was written:
"Nan Shen, the multiple choice! Please!"
Jiangnan picked up his pen and wrote down all the multiple-choice answers on the note.
Then, when the proctor wasn't looking.
With a flick of his finger, he sent it back.
Seeing the note full of answers, Wang Ping was ecstatic. He frantically filled in his answer sheet.
Since he was set, he couldn't forget his brothers either.
Under the breeze, that little note passed from hand to hand.
When the exam ended, Wang Ping and his group crowded around Jiangnan to massage his shoulders.
"Nan Shen, you're a legend! Haha! I'm totally set this time!"
"All thanks to Nan Shen!"
Jiangnan smiled: "It's nothing! Nothing!"
Wang Ping seemed to remember something.
"Oh yeah, Nan Shen, one answer is missing! Can't solve the last question?"
Someone beside him chimed in: "Yeah, I couldn't figure it out either, but that last question looked pretty tough."
Jiangnan smiled: "No, I answered the last question."
Wang Ping was confused: "Then why's one missing?"
Jiangnan: "I couldn't solve the first question..."
Wang Ping: ???
What the...?
The first question?
Holy crap!
They all started filling in from the first question!
So they'd all mismatched the order?
Not a single one lined up?
[Resentment from Wang Ping +999!]
[Resentment from Zhou Hong +666!]
[Resentment from...]
