Doing Too Well on the Exam Was a Problem

After finishing the last subject, the Liberal Arts Comprehensive, Feng Xue shook her hand dismissively. All five exam papers were Phantom Object, but the notes differed slightly.

The Chinese Language exam is the easiest, except that you can't submit a blank paper. The math exam is much worse. Whether you copy formulas without thinking or just fill in abcd without a clue, you can't leave a mark on the paper. Only by thinking carefully and solving the problems can you truly answer the questions.

The Liberal Arts Comprehensive was similar to the math section, with the note "So you're called 'Memorize More'?" Students were only allowed to write what they understood, which made Feng Xue very grateful for her [Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart] ability.

English was a bit easier. The only note that easily reminded Feng Xue of the cartoon character Grey Wolf's "Can you read this?", although it might be a death sentence for many students, Feng Xue, with the help of Translation Konjac, seemed to handle it with ease.

The science exam was alright, at least there were no restrictions on the answers, you could fill in whatever you wanted. Although there was a note saying "What you answer is your life", it didn't really impress Feng Xue since she got all the answers right.

After handing in the Exam Paper, Feng Xue felt utterly exhausted. She had only taken two steps when she was suddenly sent flying backward. After rolling several times on the ground, she fell into a state of Open Mouth, Close Eyes.

Not only that, but error messages kept flashing on the Kamen Rider's built-in monitor in front of him, making it look like it was about to explode.

"What the hell?!" Feng Xue's eyes widened, completely bewildered as to what she had triggered that caused her to be knocked so hard she could open her Open Mouth, Close Eyes.

Turning her head to look at her classmates, she found that the entire classroom had somehow become like a ghost town. Some students were twisting their necks, some were simply crawling and wriggling on the ground, and one guy looked like he had been hit by a sledgehammer, his whole body pressed against the ground. If she hadn't seen him lying on the ground with her own eyes, Feng Xue wouldn't have been able to recognize the carpet as a person!

"Damn it!" Feng Xue slapped her hand and sprang to her feet, quickly leaving the examination room. Then she heard an angry shout beside her.

"I know you're happy after your exam, but running in the hallway is dangerous!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Feng Xue felt her body stiffen abruptly. She then saw the proctor walk past her carrying the Exam Paper, saying as he went:

"I'll let it go this time, but don't let it happen again!"

"Uh, didn't I trigger some kind of killing rule?" Feng Xue frowned slightly, realizing that she had only been given a slowing debuff. Looking back into the examination room, she found that her classmates were still acting like oddballs, but they didn't seem to notice anything unusual about her, and were chatting idly after the exam.

What exactly happened?

Feng Xue was completely baffled by his current situation, but in that short time, another piece of his Kamen Rider armor exploded.

Feng Xue forcibly suppressed his astonishment and quickly read the error pop-up window on the monitor. Then, he discovered that his Kamen Rider System's Operating System was actually starting to malfunction!

No, there are two more items that didn't report errors. One is Xuanjun's Iron Armor, and the other is Kamen Rider Orca's Kamen Rider System Armor. The only difference between these two and the Bamboo Armor I made myself (a bamboo Iron Man + Kamen Rider System Energy Bottle) is that they are essentially Phantom Object.

"This kind of attack can't work on Phantom Object?" Feng Xue thought to herself, but as she pondered this, another piece of Bamboo Armor on her body exploded.

"Parameter error? How could that be? Even though it's handmade, this thing is still a product of power, and its energy supply comes from the Kamen Rider Weird Tale Companion System (energy bottles, cartridges, books, Lockseeds, and the like). It's essentially Phantom Object, so how could there be a parameter error?"

Feng Xue leaned against the outer wall of the examination room, oblivious to the chaotic state that had descended into the school corridor, and quickly checked the system parameters.

"Pi, gravitational acceleration, conduction velocity..."

Feng Xue stared at the error messages, but nothing seemed wrong. Then, his face suddenly darkened—

"Damn it, that Exam Paper!"

That's right, it's Exam Paper!

"Your answer reflects your life."

The problem is that in high school courses, many calculations are treated as a single unit or simply given a simplified value for convenience!

For example, consider the forces acting on a bird as a whole, such as taking g=9.8m/s² when calculating gravitational acceleration, or even taking π=3.14.

Although the calculation is correct, if we actually followed this data in reality...

"This involves mathematical prowess, doesn't it? Isn't that a bit too over-the-top?"

Feng Xue once again realized what it meant for "the setting to be all-powerful." Who could have imagined that this mere Exam Paper would contain such a terrifying trap?

"So answering the last science question correctly is actually wrong. Should we have left the paper blank? Or only answered questions that didn't involve numerical calculations? Although the score would be very low that way, as long as the average score is high enough, we should be able to pass."

Feng Xue grinned, finding it hard to understand how players without Appraisal Ability were supposed to get through such a huge pitfall.

But then he remembered that Student Kid belly was full of filth that had turned into worms and was still living a good life, and suddenly it dawned on him—

"Perhaps players who follow the insect path have sufficient resistance to physical damage? Speaking of which, it seems the other ghost students were also affected, but because they are ghosts, they were able to withstand it. So, if a ghost possesses abilities such as damage sharing or taking someone's place, they can also withstand this calamity?"

Feng Xue gained a deeper understanding of this ridiculous game, but at the same time, she became increasingly troubled.

After all, his Bamboo Armor is still exploding at a rate of one piece every thirty seconds. Although he should be able to keep two Phantom Object as a safety net in the end, having twenty or so resurrection coins is a completely different experience from having only two.

"This punishment shouldn't be permanent. It's probably related to that Phantom Object. As long as the Phantom Object is destroyed, there shouldn't be any problems!"

Thinking of this, Feng Xue didn't linger any longer. She pulled out a small blanket from her waist pouch and draped it over herself. Then, she activated her Breath Concealment and chased after the proctor.

Two minutes later, Feng Xue stood outside the teacher's office window, watching the second-year high school teachers shuffle the test papers together, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Because he didn't know what would happen after these papers were graded.

The problems with the papers must be resolved before grading!

Feng Xue took a deep breath and pulled out a prop she hadn't used in a long time from her waist pouch—

"Ta-da! (Doraemon sound effect)"

"Suspicious Cardboard Box!"

The second day of adjusting my sleep schedule, the next chapter will be posted tomorrow at noon.
