“Alright, I'll go in first, you all find a room as well!” Bexia said casually, then walked towards the empty room, the mechanical gate opened after she inserted the nameplate, and a beam of light engulfed Bexia as she entered.
"Conesy, you should go in quickly too!" Christine said, while she herself planned to stay behind to watch over the curious Beibei and Amaryllis to prevent the two little ones from running around!
"Alright!" Since she had decided to seriously study technology, Conesy naturally had to take it seriously. She didn’t want the past to repeat itself, so now that she had taken the initiative, she had to continue moving forward and keep up with the progress!
"Lucifer, are you going in too?" Christine looked towards Lucifer and asked.
"Not interested!" Lucifer shook her head. As a new system, technology had many desirable aspects, but it had nothing to do with the existing various cultivation systems. It would be strange if Lucifer were interested in such a thing.
After being absorbed by the light into the room, Bexia found herself in a bright space, facing an illusionary screen with a scholar-like young lady appearing on it, smiling and saying, "The entrance test begins now, with a total of one hundred questions. Passing more than fifty questions will complete the test. Any questions before we start?"
"What if I fail the test?" Bexia asked.
"If you fail, you will retake the test until you either give up or complete it!" the scholar-like young lady replied.
"Any more questions?"
"No! Let's get started!" Since there was no limit on attempts, Bexia wasn't worried.
"What's your name?" asked the scholar-like young lady.
"Bexia!"
"Alright! Bexia, you may now begin the test!"
"First question: Please explain the basic theory of a particle cannon?"
"…I don't know!" Bexia shook his head. Although he had shared some of Christine's memories before coming here, they were all basic technological knowledge, while the particle cannon was a very advanced weapon he knew nothing about.
"Second question: Explain the basic principle of an energy aggregator?"
"I don't know!"
"Third question: Explain the basic principle of a geopulse oscillator?"
"I don't know!"
"Fourth question..."
"…" As the questions piled up, Bexia's face grew darker. What kind of questions were these? He couldn't answer a single one.
"Hundredth question: What are the lethal properties of atomic ash?"
"I don't know!"
"Test complete!"
"Unfortunately, Bexia, you did not pass the test," the scholar-like young lady said.
"Now, would you like to continue trying or end here?" the young lady asked.
"Are these questions really designed for us to pass? I feel like they weren't meant for us to pass at all!" Bexia looked at the young girl on the screen and asked.
"Yes, these questions are specifically for testing!" the young lady said, while bringing out a thick book and pointing to the large letters on it for Bexia to see.
"And this was personally written by Dean!"
"The Entrance Exam of the Primeval Academy"
Just what was displayed on the screen felt a bit off, especially when the young lady opened the book and there, besides the questions, was a conspicuous line: Donating to sponsor scholars can grant exemption from the exam.
"Can I donate to sponsor a scholar?" Bexia inquired.
"Of course, as long as you make sufficient contributions to the construction of our Primeval Academy, you can be admitted directly!" The young lady took back the book, as if nothing had happened just now.
"How much do I need to donate?" Bexia asked.
"Just one hundred law fragments will do!" The young lady's tone changed as she continued, "Of course, the more you donate, the better. If it exceeds a thousand, you can receive an honorary certificate and enjoy many privileges within the Primeval Academy!"
"...If it's ten thousand, you can obtain a special honor certificate and more privileges!"
"...For a hundred thousand, you can even acquire the Supreme Honor Certificate and possibly attend Dean's lectures..."
The young lady bragged on, and listening, Bexia felt a twitch in the corner of his mouth, as if he had been tricked from the start. It seemed like they never intended for Bexia to pass, asking questions that were all outlandish, with that line of small print being the main focus in the end!
"Then I'll donate ten thousand law fragments!" Bexia said.
"Alright! Please place the donation inside the teleportation circle!" the young lady said with a smile, reaching out her hand, and a white halo appeared in front of Bexia, into which he tossed the ten thousand law fragments!
"This is your certificate of honor, please keep it safe!" The young lady produced a golden card and emerged from the teleportation circle!
"You are now an honorable member of the Primeval Academy. If you wish to access information about the academy, you can directly log into the internal network platform with this certificate. Otherwise, you will not be able to enter the platform!"
"I understand!" Bexia nodded, this was what he needed.
"If there are no other questions, then you may leave!"
"Well, actually, I have one more question!"
"Please ask! I will answer truthfully!"
"Did you know the answers to those questions just now?" Bexia inquired.
"How could I possibly know? If I did, I wouldn't be a student now but a tutor at the academy!" the young lady smiled in response.
"... " Bexia was completely speechless, it seemed this whole setup was quite intricate!
