Chapter 61: The Fake and Real Academic Overachievers (1/2)

The three of them, including Qi Ji, had arrived in front of the short-haired girl, who was visibly upset.

“Alas, how could I have been so careless? If I had been more careful, I wouldn’t have…”

“Now is not the time for self-blame. We should think about how to pass the next level!” the blonde girl said.

Hearing the blonde girl’s words, the short-haired girl quickly regained her composure.

She smiled at everyone, showing that she was not the kind of fragile person who couldn’t withstand setbacks.

Qi Ji then looked around the carriage and noticed that it was still empty.

What surprised him was that the door on the opposite side was slightly ajar.

By now, no one would foolishly think that this passageway was safe.

The fat boy and the two girls looked at Qi Ji with anticipation, curious about what he would do next.

Qi Ji’s gaze swept across the area, and he quickly triggered a prompt.

〖Carefully observe the paintings on the wall, and you will find the broken bamboo. The area where the bamboo is broken is the danger zone!!〗

After seeing this prompt, Qi Ji quickly looked at the wall.

Indeed, he found a row of bamboo paintings on the wall, some of which were intact, while others were broken.

These bamboo paintings looked very ordinary, making it difficult for people to associate them with the clue to passing the level.

“Just follow me!” Qi Ji said calmly.

“Okay, Big Brother!”

The three of them replied in unison, clearly showing that Qi Ji had become the backbone of the group.

Qi Ji’s impressive performance in the previous levels had thoroughly convinced the three of them to rely on him.

Qi Ji took the lead, walking forward with the fat boy and the two girls following closely behind.

After walking for two meters, Qi Ji looked at the broken bamboo on the left side, which was about one meter above the ground.

Qi Ji estimated his height and realized that if he crouched down, he could easily avoid the danger zone.

Qi Ji smiled slightly and crouched down, then continued forward with a waddling gait.

Niu Wu was a bit surprised, but he trusted him and followed Qi Ji’s example.

The two girls didn’t think much and also followed suit.

…

This exam mode made many candidates question their life choices.

In the first level, which was supposed to be easy, nearly 80% of the candidates failed.

These people were not stupid, but their thinking was misled.

Most of them chose to find the key to open the door, but the result was tragic.

They were immediately electrocuted and turned into a stream of data.

Only nine people, including Qi Ji’s group of four, passed the second level, while the rest failed due to the time limit.

One of the people who passed the two levels was someone Qi Ji knew – Ling Hua.

Ling Hua was a genuine academic overachiever, and the first three levels were child’s play for her.

She didn’t take long to solve them.

Her intuition told her that although these levels were not challenging for her, the elimination rate was extremely high, and there were few people who could compete with her.

Ling Hua was currently in the fourth carriage, frowning tightly.

Although this level seemed easy on the surface, her intuition told her that it was very dangerous.

Ling Hua held a plate that she had brought from the previous level, thinking that it might be useful in the next level.

She casually threw the plate out.

“Clang!”

The plate landed on the ground without triggering any traps.
