When processing an adult male black-tailed deer, where should the first cut be made to ensure the integrity of the hide?

These questions are perhaps common sense for a true wilderness hunter.

But for an urban youth who only memorizes things to pass exams, it is incredibly tedious and complicated.

However, the original owner had already crammed this knowledge into his brain using a cramming method.

At this moment, Su Wei precisely retrieved this knowledge from his mind.

The fingers clicked rhythmically on the mouse, without any pause or hesitation.

Time passed second by second.

After finishing the last question, Su Wei glanced at the time in the upper right corner; less than forty minutes had passed.

He didn't check it and clicked submit directly.

After a brief loading time on the screen, a bright red number popped up.

91.

A number that barely passes the minimum requirement.

Not too much, not too little, just right.

This was exactly the result Su Wei wanted.

Su Wei took off his headphones, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

Aruk beside him was clearly still struggling, scratching his head and making irritating "tsk" sounds from time to time.

About ten minutes later, Aruk finally let out a long sigh of relief and handed in his exam paper.

Aruk turned his head and saw that Su Wei had finished, so he immediately leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"How did it go? Did you pass?"

"Passed."

Su Wei responded indifferently.

How many points?

Ninety-one.

"That's amazing! My brother!"

Aruk slapped his thigh.

"I'm only ninety!"

"Perfect!"

"I almost got screwed by this pile of rubbish theories!"

"I knew it! Hunters should be in the forest, why bother with these writings!"

Just as he was about to continue his insightful remarks, the portly examiner impatiently walked over.

"Those who have finished the exam, please leave. Don't disturb others."

The two walked out of the examination room and returned to the quiet hall.

Sarah, who works at the front desk, saw them come out and looked up to ask them a question.

"They've all passed?"

"Certainly!"

Aruk patted his chest triumphantly.

Sarah nodded, not surprised by the result.

She tapped a few keys on the keyboard, and the printer spat out two slips of paper.

"Good luck, you two."

She handed them the note.

"Examiner Black happens to be free tomorrow."

"Gather here promptly at nine o'clock in the morning for the practical assessment."

" Black?"

Aruk's smile froze instantly.

He picked up the note and saw the name "Examiner: Black Anderson." He felt as if his bones had been removed, and he collapsed instantly.

" Sarah... madam, could you... choose another one?"

Aruk's voice trembled slightly.

"Cannot."

Sarah's answer was crisp and efficient.

"But..."

"If you want to get your license quickly, this is the fastest opportunity."

Sarah interrupted him.

"Otherwise, we'll have to wait until this blizzard passes; the next assessment won't be for at least two weeks."

Aruk was completely speechless.

He held the thin piece of paper in his hand.

This note weighs a thousand pounds.

Su Wei carefully put away his note and walked out with a worried-looking Aruk.

"It's over, bro, we're done for!"

"It's that Old Devil Black!"

Su Wei stopped and finally asked the question that had been on his mind.

"What's wrong with this Black?"

What's the problem?

Aruk almost jumped up.

"His problems are huge!"

He looked around to make sure no one was nearby before lowering his voice.

"The practical assessment consists of three parts, right?"

Su Wei nodded.

"First item, target practice."

"The other examiners will give you three animal-shaped targets to shoot at."

"As long as you hit a vital area within three shots, you'll pass."

"But that old freak Black only gave you two chances!"

Two shots!

"And even the slightest miss is unacceptable!"

"Hitting the stomach, a location that damages internal organs, will deduct half your points!"

He said that was disrespectful to the prey and would contaminate the meat!

Aruk waved his arms excitedly.

"The second item, tracking."

"Others give you clear footprints so you can identify the animal and its approximate weight."

Where's Black?

"He'll dig up a frozen, hard dung from the snow, or a few hairs he's somehow acquired, and make you reveal all the information about his prey!"

"Gender, age, health condition, even what it ate last night!"

"This guy has a nose that's sharper than a dog's; if you dare say anything wrong, he'll spray you until you question your very existence!"

"And the most terrifying third task is processing the prey."

He will give you a complete animal model, allowing you to simulate skinning, gutting, and butchering it.

"He only has one requirement: perfection!"

"No excess fat should remain on the skin, and the division must be precise."

He said every piece of meat has its best purpose, and wasting it is a crime!

Su Wei listened quietly, her brain working at lightning speed, breaking down and summarizing the information one by one.

Two shots, fatal; precise identification; perfect execution.

These requirements may sound demanding, but they are not impossible to meet.
