After answering the test paper, there are forty-five minutes left.

Chen Yuan raised his head suddenly, and a "hand-in" button with a pale yellow luster appeared in front of him out of thin air.

He did not have the habit of handing in the papers in advance, so he casually closed the hand-in page and buried himself in carefully checking the test papers.

Starting from the first "multiple-choice question" to the final "theoretical analysis question", I checked it carefully before and after.

Then, starting from the "theoretical analysis questions", the order is reversed, and the review is carried out one question at a time.

More than half an hour passed.

At this time, there are less than ten minutes left before the end of the exam.

In the A16 examination room, more than half of the students have chosen to submit their papers in advance, but Chen Yuan is not affected, and he checks back and forth to ensure that there is no mistake.

Ten minutes flew by.

In the loudspeaker above the exam room. A deep voice sounded: "The 2615 college entrance examination liberal arts theory test is over, and the test papers are being collected, please take off the 'exam simulator' and leave the venue in an orderly manner." ”

Chen Yuan put down the pen and sat up straight.

A progress bar appears again in front of me, showing the progress of retrieving the exam papers.

As the progress bar continued to advance, his exam paper gradually became illusory from substance, and the handwriting on it began to blur, as if it had been smeared by a scoop of clear water.

Immediately afterwards, the entire virtual examination room began to distort, and objects such as blackboards, tables, chairs, and podiums turned into chaotic phantoms and disappeared in an instant.

After a few seconds, the gray sky was back in front of me.

Chen Yuan took off the "exam simulator", wiped a handful of sweat beads oozing from the corners of his forehead, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's finally over." ”

"The difficulty of this theory test is moderate, and with my performance, I should be able to score more than 45 points. ”

"The highlight of the afternoon, the 'practical exam', is the key to widening the score gap. ”

The practical examination assesses the candidate's daily accumulation and ability to apply the knowledge learned.

The total score is 50 points, with 15 points each for "simulated alchemy" and "simulated refiner", and 20 points for "simulated spirit refining".

"Simulated alchemy" is to refine the medicinal materials and raw materials that randomly appear in the virtual space into a specified variety of medicine according to a certain refining method and configuration ratio, and then determine the final score of a candidate according to the "fineness" of the medicine.

The exam process for the "Simulator" is similar.

In the virtual space, the "refiner" operation is carried out with specific "materials" and "components".

Since the knowledge of "refining weapons" learned in high school is still relatively basic, candidates are only required to refine the "embryo" of a psionic weapon, and then judge the score according to the color of the "embryo".

The focus and difficulty of the "practical exam" lies in the "simulated spirit refining".

The "psionic equipment" constructed by the system is "refined", and the final score of the examinee is determined according to the number of successful "refining".

Among the three exams, "Spirit Refining" is the most difficult to complete.

Candidates should be in good spirits when they take the exam.

Once there is an operation error, the equipment will be damaged, which will affect the performance, and the equipment will be directly damaged, and the score of the subject will drop to "0".

However, for the afternoon exam, Chen Yuan is still relatively confident.

In the past three years, he has focused on liberal arts, spending all the time others in the martial arts training hall in the classroom and laboratory, whether it is "refining medicine", "refining weapons" or "refining spirits", he has repeatedly done countless experiments.

As long as there are no "off-topic questions" that exceed the curriculum, it is not difficult to get a high score.

After packing up his things, leaving the examination room, and walking down the stairs, Chen Yuan saw Huo Yuan waiting under the "Zhiming Building" at a glance.

"Huo Shao, look at you like this, you played well in the morning," Chen Yuan stepped forward and smiled slightly.

"Haha, the content reviewed has basically been tested, and it shouldn't be a problem to score 40 points," Huo Yuan grinned and hugged Chen Yuan's shoulder, "You don't need to say it, a question of this difficulty should be a piece of cake for a 'champion of liberal arts' like you." ”

"'Theoretical analysis' is a little more troublesome, and everything else is okay," Chen Yuan said: "The key is the 'practical exam' in the afternoon, and if you win the afternoon experiment, the liberal arts exam should be stable." ”

"The champion is out, no matter how difficult the topic is, isn't it easy to catch?"

"Haha, do your best, let's do our best. ”

Outside the door of classroom A16 on the third floor, Tan Mingyu and Li Zhongqun stood side by side, looking at the back of Chen Yuan and the others from a distance, their eyes were deep, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

At the same time, the office building of the Linjiang Municipal Education Bureau, the Department of Data and Statistics.

A huge data center is rapidly calculating the liberal arts theory scores of every candidate.

All around, dozens of staff members are sitting in front of the light screens, busy making calculations and statistics.

The office is full of open holographic screens and dense data.

Soon, the results of the candidates were displayed on different holographic screens.

There is a piece of it, and there are four big characters written on it: "Linjiang No. 3 Middle School".

Linjiang No. 3 Middle School, Gou Chen, Liberal Arts Theory: 36 points. ”

Linjiang No. 3 Middle School, Huo Yuan, Liberal Arts Theory: 42 points. ”

Linjiang No. 3 Middle School, Liu Xu, Liberal Arts Theory: 35 points. ”

"Linjiang No. 3 Middle School, Yun Qingyan, Liberal Arts Theory: 45 points. ”

"Linjiang No. 3 Middle School, Chen Yuan, Liberal Arts Theory: 50 points. ”

A staff member in charge of counting the results of the candidates of the "Municipal No. 3 Middle School" saw this scene, his eyes almost fell to the ground, and he immediately called all his colleagues to come and watch.

"Full marks for liberal arts theory...... When did such a demon come out of the third middle school!"

"Chen Yuan, isn't that the 'civil and military champion' of the Third Middle School who has been missing for half a month?"

"I didn't expect it...... Not only did he come back to take the college entrance examination, but he also got a perfect score, which is incredible. ”

"It's been many years since we have had a perfect score in liberal arts theory in Linjiang...... You must report to the leadership immediately!"

......

At 2:20 p.m., Chen Yuan returned to the A16 examination room to take the "practical test" of the liberal arts of the college entrance examination.

Under the reminder of Mr. Li, Xianzai carefully checked the "exam simulator", and after confirming that it was correct, he turned on the device and entered the "virtual examination room".

Unlike the "theory test" in the morning, the "practical test" test room is built by the education department.

Chen Yuan controlled "himself", walked in the gray space, pushed open a narrow door that emitted a faint light, and walked into a spacious and bright "alchemy laboratory".

In the center of the laboratory was a long white table, on which were placed all kinds of alchemy equipment, as well as a large number of various medicinal materials, and next to it was a row of machines related to alchemy.

Chen Yuan walked to the long table and picked up a medicinal herb, and at this moment, a line of eye-catching big characters suddenly appeared in front of him:

"Practical test item 1: Within one hour, use eighteen kinds of medicinal materials such as dragon spirit grass, Xuanye tree roots, and Baicao Ganoderma lucidum leaves to refine a bottle of 'Level 1 Force Original Solution', full score: 15 points. ”

"'Strength Original Solution'......" Chen Yuan put down the medicinal herbs, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Force Essence" is an amplifying functional agent that can increase the strength attributes of the human body in a short period of time.

Although the value is not very high, the refining process is more complicated than other low-level functional elixirs.

First of all, it is necessary to use extremely fine techniques to peel off the effective part of the eighteen kinds of medicinal materials such as dragon spirit grass and Xuanye roots, refine the essence, and then mix them together according to a certain proportion, put them into the machine, heat them to a certain temperature, and finally quickly take them out and cool them when they are about to reach the boiling point, so that the refining is completed.

According to Chen Yuan's previous experience, there are three main difficulties in refining the "original liquid of force".

The first is refinement. Medicinal materials such as dragon spirit grass, Xuanye tree roots, and Baicao Lingzhi leaves are extremely difficult to refine, if they are not stripped thoroughly enough, or the heat is not in place, an hour may pass, and even the essence of these medicinal materials has not been refined.

The second is the ratio. There are 18 kinds of medicinal materials used to refine the "Original Liquid of Strength", and some of them are extremely similar in shape, taste, and medicinal properties, and to distinguish them from similar medicinal materials, it requires extremely solid professional knowledge and sufficient screening ability.

The third is the final cooling. In order to refine the "stock solution of power", it is necessary to remove the mixture of medicinal materials when it is about to reach its boiling point, and put it in a refrigeration equipment to cool it quickly. This requires candidates to have extremely accurate control of time, and cooling one second earlier or one second later will reduce the fineness of the "original solution of force", thus affecting the final college entrance examination results.

"First strip off the 'effective part' of these herbs, and then refine the essence. ”

Chen Yuan took out a "Dragon Spirit Grass" from the pile of medicinal herbs, grabbed the root with one hand, and gently pinched the branches and leaves on the grass stem with the other hand, peeling it off piece by piece.

Arrange the removed branches and leaves, take a clear glassware in your hand, carefully place the branches and leaves, and set them aside.

Then, take a "black leaf root", patiently untie the knotted vines, use a knife to cut open the skin of the root, and squeeze the pale green sap into a small glass bottle.

Then, he picked up the third medicinal material, the herb Ganoderma lucidum leaves, and patiently dealt with it.

In the first process of "refining medicine", Chen Yuan did it very seriously and meticulously. Every movement is extremely skillful and free.

Soon, the "effective part" of the eighteen herbs was peeled off by him and placed in glassware.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yuan walked to a one-person-high "extraction machine", put eighteen glassware into their respective "extraction cabins" in turn, adjusted their respective extraction times, and waited for the extraction of various medicinal materials to be completed.

"One second...... Two seconds...... Five-second ......"

After a while, only a series of crisp sounds of "ding ding ding" were heard.

Chen Yuan took out the glassware from the "extraction cabin" and placed it on the table.

For a while, the table was full of medicinal extracts of different colors.

The laboratory is virtually constructed, so you can't smell the aroma of the herbs.

But judging by the color of the liquid, this round of extraction was undoubtedly quite successful.

Chen Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped a handful of beads of sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead, and began to move on to the next step-proportioning.

The process of proportioning requires the operator's extraordinary patience and meticulous concentration, and a slight carelessness may lead to imbalance in the ratio and affect the quality of the drug.

Chen Yuan's nerves were tense, and he took turns to put the medicinal extract on the experimental scale and weigh it.

Shaking for a while, fusing it all together, he muttered unconsciously in his mouth:

"Dragon Spirit Grass 5 units...... 3 units of herb reishi leaves...... Moon White Flower 10 units ......"

Ten minutes had passed, and the extracts of the eighteen herbs had all been fused.

A large bottle of gray-green "fusion liquid" appeared on the table.

"Next...... That's the most critical step. Chen Yuan picked up the "fusion liquid" and shook it gently in front of him, "Heating, cooling, and if the operation is smooth, this exam will be considered stable." ”
