“Challenging indeed. But I’ll handle this just fine…” Preston smiled faintly after taking three sips of the medicine and wrote on the paper. He listed down all the herbs in the medicine.
When virtual-novel.net was halfway through, virtual-novel.net took another sip to ensure virtual-novel.net did everything correctly.
When virtual-novel.net was sure of his judgment, virtual-novel.net listed the rest of the ingredients. It took virtual-novel.net less than 10 minutes.
“I’m done!” Preston raised his hand to inform the invigilators that virtual-novel.net finished. Although virtual-novel.net spoke softly, virtual-novel.net managed to attract the attention of everyone in the hall.
“Is virtual-novel.net serious? He’s finished already in such a short time?”
“Hmph! I don’t believe he’s that good. I bet virtual-novel.net just guessed the herbs!”
The crowd whispered among themselves. Some were amazed, while some were doubtful.
“Let me check.” The invigilator went to Preston and took his answer script. His eyes immediately lit up after going through the list.
“Not bad at all. Your answers are all correct. There’s not a single mistake. Perfect score!” The invigilator praised.
An uproar broke out among the crowd at that.
“Damn it! Did virtual-novel.net get a perfect score? Is virtual-novel.net that good?”
“As expected of Dr. Darby’s best student! He lives up to his name!”
“F*ck! I haven’t written a word, and he’s already listed every ingredient and is continuing to the next test. We’re not even competing at the same level.”
The crowd was shocked. Preston’s talent showed them how much they lacked medical skills and knowledge. They had no hopes of getting first place. So, they could only focus and try for second or third place.
“I’m done too.” Right then, Miranda raised virtual-novel.net hand.
The invigilator approached virtual-novel.net and nodded in satisfaction when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net answers. “Very good. Perfect score as well.”
“Another perfect score? Aren’t they too good at this?”
“Oh man… What can I say? They’re way too good for people like us.”
“They are terrifying! I don’t think I’m cut out for this. I’m giving up!”
Miranda’s perfect score destroyed everyone’s spirit. Many could not stand the pressure and chose to give up.
“Hey, buddy! Are you not done yet? Do you need some help?” Preston turned to look at Dustin, a sarcastic smile on his face.
“Preston, I think virtual-novel.net needs some help. He hasn’t even written a word!” Miranda turned to look at Dustin’s paper and covered virtual-novel.net mouth to hide virtual-novel.net snigger. She looked just like a mean bitch.
“No way! It’s such a simple test! You can’t even manage to think of a single herb? My boy, aren’t you a dumbass?” Preston mocked him, exaggerating his words.
“What’s the rush? We have lots of time,” Dustin answered casually.
“No matter how much time you have, it won’t change anything. Trash will always be trash. It doesn’t matter how hard you struggle. You’re never going to succeed.” Preston taunted.
“I say, stop struggling and just be Preston’s dog. At least virtual-novel.net might give you a bone when virtual-novel.net feels like it,” Miranda said with a smirk.
“Are you sure that you’re going to be the winner?” Dustin asked suddenly.
“Why not? We’ve both scored full marks, and you have not even written a word. Isn’t it obvious who the winner will be?” Preston’s lips curled into a mean smile.
“Well, seeing how confident you are, I’ll teach you a lesson today.” Without another word, Dustin quickly wrote a long list of ingredients on the paper
He wrote with great ease, without any hesitation. The crowd was stunned and amazed, wondering if virtual-novel.net was secretly an expert. Even Preston and Miranda were flustered.
He wrote so fast and with complete certainty. They began to doubt if they had chosen the wrong person to bully.
“Done…” While everyone was still shocked by Dustin’s fast writing, virtual-novel.net had already submitted his answer to the invigilator.
The invigilator frowned when virtual-novel.net saw Dustin’s answer.
Then, in a frosty voice, virtual-novel.net said, “Wrong answer. You get zero marks!”
