[R18] Global College Entrance Examination – “Global College Entrance Examination” Chapter 36 [English]

☆, Chapter 36 Zero Points

The cashier was busy recording the accounts.

After Qin Jiu finished speaking to You Huo, he turned around and pointed at the shelf: “By the way, help me again…”

he suddenly paused, as if he had forgotten what he wanted as he spoke.

The cashier waited for a while without waiting for the next sentence, so he read the items on the shelf and tried to remind: “What do you want? Cigarettes? Lighter? Wine?”

Qin Jiu let out a soft “Ah”, lowered his hand and joked: “Inertia, I always feel that I should buy something else. I can’t remember, so let’s leave it at that.”

The cashier nodded and reported the total price: “Your total… 19 points.”

The candidates next to me were very fascinated when they heard: The total points in the hands of those who are riding horses may not be 20, but this person scored 19 in one swipe.

The most irritating thing is that after hearing this, this person actually said to the cashier: “Please help me pick up anything from the shelves at the back to make it whole.”

Cashier “…”

Come together and listen, this is all crazy talk.

This cashier was actually punished from the invigilator reserve. I had met many invigilators before, and of course I had heard of No. 001.

But while he was working, Qin Jiu was recuperating, and as the examiner No. 001, he would not appear in every examination room.

So the cashier doesn’t know him.

The young man persuaded with earnest words: “Sir, it’s like this. You happen to be the 12th customer to check out today. You will have a chance to draw a lottery and get a higher discount. In other words… there is no use in rounding up now. After a while, it will still be zero.”

“Really, is there still such an activity?” Qin Zhu said.

“Yes, that’s what it says on the banner.” The cashier pointed upward, “The 12th and 13th customers are today’s lucky ones. But you two need to pay first, and we can cash it out together later.”

“Oh.” After Qin Zhu read the banner, he said to Youhuo with a half-smile, “Lucky man, come over and pay.”

Youhuo: “…”

Based on this mouth, I don’t know if 001 has ever been pressed down and beaten by someone before, but he hopes so.

Youhuo pushed the shopping cart to the counter, picked up the items in the cart and put them on the counter.

The cashier’s face turned green again.

What’s going on today, a gathering of shopaholics?

He murmured in his heart, counting all of You Huo’s things one by one: “Two coats…”

“Two boxes of instant noodles and two cans of beef.”

“A watch.”

Hmm…

It looks familiar.

The cashier glanced at the two of them and did not dare to speak.

He helped Youhuo pack the things and typed out the price list: “A total of 5 points.”

He was afraid that Youhuo would also say “Help me get it together”, so he quickly took out a wooden box from under the counter.

“Here, the lottery box.” The cashier introduced: “There are a total of 100 lottery tickets in it. It is best to get 10% off. There are only 5 10% off coupons, but it doesn’t matter. There are also 15 30% off coupons, 30 50% off coupons, and 40 20% off coupons. This discount is really impressive. If I can find a second resting place like this in the world, I will cut off my head.”

Youhuo doesn’t care about these, nor does he care about his head.

he asked: “What’s left??”

The cashier said: “Uh… 5 10% off coupons, 3 15% off coupons, and 2 original price coupons.”

“But if you think about it, the 10% discount is so-so, but the probability is the same as the 10% discount. It is difficult to draw. As for the 15% discount, there are only 3 tickets, and the original price is only 2 tickets.” He immediately added: “What is the concept? It is less than the 10% discount coupon! Believe me, I have been here for so long, I have seen 10% off, but I have never seen 9.5% off or the original price. After all, the purpose of our event is to reduce everyone’s burden. If you can save a little, it means your life.”

Youhuo said: “Smoke it directly?”

“…”

The cashier’s enthusiasm was in vain.

He turned the lottery box in a circle with his eyebrows drooping, so that the writing side faced You Huo and Qin Zhu: “Well, in order to strengthen the interaction between candidates, there is a rule for the lottery. Mutual drawing, that is, the lottery ticket you draw belongs to he, and the ticket he draws belongs to you. This rule is quite famous, I wonder if you have heard of it.”

Qin Jiu: “I’ve heard a little bit, and the general comment is that your boss doesn’t care about personnel matters, for fear that the candidates won’t fight.”

“…After all, how can it be so easy to get such a huge discount?”

“Come on. I just like watching this scene. It’s exciting! It basically determines the relationship between the two of you. Whether you can become friends in the future depends on it.” The cashier shook the box and gestured “please”.

Five seconds later.

Qin Jiu gave Youhuo a “95% discount”, and Youhuo gave you a “original price” in return.

Qin Jiu: “…”

Cashier: “…………………………”

There is a kind of non-chief called paternal harm.

There is a kind of relationship that tells no one to let anyone go.

Everyone has seen it today.

•

In the end, Qin Zhu asked the cashier to collect it for him.

Youhuo saw he took out a card and felt strange: “Where did you get the points?”

“The system sent it.” Qin Jiu.

Youhuo was a little surprised.

Even if you are punished, you still get the starting points?What kind of punishment is this?

Qin Zhu: “Do you know what this means?”

Youhuo: “What?”

Qin Zhu: “Many examination rooms have thresholds for candidates. For example, candidates who take the exam for the first time are grouped together, and those who have passed two subjects are in another examination room. There will be a difference in difficulty. When the system sends me points at this time, it means that the three subjects you are waiting for this time have threshold restrictions. This means that the more subjects you have passed, the more difficult it is to enter the examination room. heGive me some starting points, firstly, to abide by the rules and let me enter the same examination room as the selected candidates, that is, you.Secondly, to ensure the difficulty, so as to prevent me from being assigned to candidates with zero experience.”

In the past, Qin Zhu would avoid answering questions about these system-related matters and would receive a warning.

Now that he has been punished as a candidate, he is actually not so shy about it.

Youhuo asked a few more questions: “How much did I give you?”

“It is said that it is calculated based on the lowest score in a single subject during the examination period. It is difficult to tell whether it is true or not.”

Do you think you can’t count your lowest scores?You can understand it at a glance, and you don’t know whether it is true or false.

•

Qin Jiu held the card and turned it over to show You Huo.

The deposed proctor 001 had a card similar to that of an ordinary examinee, with basic information written on it:

Name: Qin Jiu

Admission ticket number: 86010-06141729-Gi

Subjects taken: 2

Cumulative score: 20

Unlike the candidates, the candidate’s exam number ends with a number, but “he” is two letters with unknown meaning.

Seeing Youhuo staring at Gi with a puzzled expression, he said: “The invigilator used it illegally and simulated a candidate number.”

The end of the candidate number is the English title set by the system to distinguish the invigilator.

Qin Zhu was originally supposed to be Gin, but when he wrote the card, he missed a letter and changed it to Gi.

He originally knew about this, but forgot about it after his memory was damaged.

It is unclear whether it was a mistake by the invigilator who was responsible for writing it or whether it was a deliberate joke on him.

When the cashier looked at him as a “madman”, Qin Jiu cleared the initial value, leaving no 1 point of 20 points.

“Do you have a grudge against yourself?” the cashier couldn’t help but say.

Qin Jiu laughed, left Youhuo “See you in the evening” and left the resting place.

•

At night, the hotel checks out automatically on time.

Signs were erected on the street at some point, and everyone followed the signs to a certain intersection.

Unsurprisingly, it was a T-shaped road.

When they reached the middle of the road, the scenery behind them became blurry and was quickly obscured by the thick fog at night.

The three street signs respectively read untested subjects:

Chinese

Mathematics

history

There is a familiar security booth in the middle of the road.

When the small speaker in the pavilion suddenly sounded, Qin Jiu walked out of the thick fog at the same time… pushing He’s suitcase.

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a casual candidate…” Yu Wen said quietly to Brother He.

After saying that, he was silent for two seconds and then said: “Oh no, there is one in front of me. Forget it, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Qin Jiu stood beside the crowd.

The little speaker has finished farting all the same.It paused for a moment, and after attracting everyone’s attention, it finally came to the point:

[This round of surprise examination reform is implemented. The examination system is now changed to grades. The four grades ABCD are divided according to the ranking percentage of global candidates. Among them, the top 10% are A, the one place after A to the top 50% are B, the one place after B to 75% are C, and the rest are D.】

“My day…”

Classmate Yu Wen, who had been threatened by the reform for three years, had a frozen expression and warmly greeted all the speakers in his heart.

And the greetings continued:

[Existing scores will be calculated into grades, and will be calculated once at the end of each exam thereafter.】

[The exam implements a final elimination system. After each exam, candidates with a grade of D will be eliminated directly. Candidates with a grade of C will be kept for review and need to be retaken.

[The background of the re-examination questions shall be based on the original questions, and the sub-questions shall be modified appropriately.】

[Candidates who retake the exam with a grade of B or above can successfully enter the next subject. Those who still grade C will retake the exam again, and those with grade D will be eliminated directly.】

[Updating candidate scores now…]

In the blink of an eye, the LCD screen outside the security booth suddenly lit up, and a few lines of words appeared.

Those are the grade conversion results of the candidates present.

Yu Wen: A

Yu Yiguo: A

Mike Rogen：A

Thanks to Youhuo, these three people have honestly guarded their scores and not misused them. Their current levels are very high.

Chen Bin: B

Wandering: B

The one above me was holding him on my lap, but the one below me bought too many things and was downgraded.

Shu Xue: C

It may always be C.

Qin Zhu:D
