[R18] Global College Entrance Examination – “Global College Entrance Examination” Chapter 146 [English]

Chapter 146 Reunion┃Because he was just halfway through speaking, and suddenly he couldn’t remember why he asked this question.

Regarding dealing with the system, Examiner A had a plan, and Qin Zhu knew this.

He always thought that he would be dragged into the planning center by A of course, but he didn’t know that he wasn’t.

For a long time, Examiner A never mentioned his plan.It seems that for him, it is enough to know that Qin Jiu is a fellow traveler and they are not really opposed.

They have the closest relationship, do the most private things, face the same direction, and help each other, but they are still walking on two roads.

This is the nature of a lone wolf, and Qin Zhu knows it very well.

He thought he was already a top performer, but he didn’t expect that there was someone more serious than he—Examiner A was not only alone, but also mixed with a little something else…

At first, Qin Zhu didn’t know what it was until he learned the true origin of the system and Examiner A.

When he looked clearly at those beautiful eyes that had been borrowed by the system, he suddenly understood that they were the inertia developed through long-term experience and a special kind of closure.

Others’ closure is for self-protection, but Examiner A is different. His protection is outward.

He always draws a circle of danger zones around him, habitually sits in the middle of the danger zone, and then forcefully pushes everyone else out of the circle.Just like he has been trying to persuade Qin Jiu to leave the system once he successfully passes the exam and never come back.

For this matter, Examiner A deliberately said a lot of sarcastic words, and Qin Jiu also said a lot of sarcastic words.

He will even try to coax the other person to let go in the most intimate moments.

While looking at the other person’s shoulders, neck or chest with a light red color, his forehead firmly pressed against the back of his hand, frowning and speechless, he secretly thought to himself that he was really a bastard.

Sometimes Examiner A would look at he impatiently with half-opened eyes while panting.

If it weren’t for the physical entanglement, Qin Jiu suspected that he would even snort coldly in the next second. Unfortunately, the effect would always be greatly reduced in this situation.

So he often looked at Qin Zhu for a while and said in a hoarse voice: “You are like an undercover agent now.”

“Then can I succeed this time, great examiner?” Qin Jiu would always ask teasingly.

Then he would say, “Can’t.”

This negative answer continued for a while.In fact, it was not that long, but in Qin Jiu’s impression, it seemed like a long, long time.In retrospect, I realized that the reason for having such an illusion was simply because they had too few opportunities to be alone.

He keeps retaking the exam again and again.

As the numbers added up, Qin Zhu could clearly feel the emotions shown by Examiner A at a certain moment.That should represent reluctance and softening, but he will return to being cold and hard the next second.

But in the end, Qin Zhu succeeded.

The examiner Z Chuyue was also there when the confession was given.

Most of the time she is talking and the other two are listening.Whenever A opened his mouth to add something, she would always look at Qin Qiu curiously, looking him up and down countless times, even a little overly enthusiastic.

One day later, she told Qin Jiu that her inspection that day was actually not very polite, but she was really too surprised and too curious.Because before that, she never thought that one day, A would bring someone here and know everything about them.

She said: For me and he, this is the biggest restricted area.

The plan of the two examiners had been prepared for a long time, and it was the best plan under the circumstances – the people involved were the simplest, and the scope of casualties could be controlled to the minimum.

“This plan actually only involves one thing, which is the master permission.” Chu Yue explained at the time, “The master permission is the permission to control the entire system. It is usually said that A and I have the highest permission. That is also compared to other supervisors. The real highest is the master permission. To put it bluntly, if you get this permission, you can control the entire system. Then you can do whatever you want.”

“So who holds this permission?” Qin Jiu said, “Not to mention the system itself, there should be some other options.”

“Awesome.” Chu Yue gave he a thumbs up.

“Under normal circumstances, of course, this master permission is controlled by the system itself. There is no doubt about it. But as long as the designer’s original intention is not malicious, there will definitely be an emergency plan. We took this into consideration at the time, so we kept looking in this direction.”

After the system went out of control, it “tactfully” hid these contents, but as long as it was still bound by the rules, they would always have a way to uncover the hidden contents.

“How many emergency plans have you found?” Qin Jiu asked.

“Two.” A said, “One emergency state and one frozen state. The two are in order.”

If 70% of the system’s main control center is paralyzed, it will enter an emergency state.In this state, the system will enter the next highest level of self-healing, and the master control permission will be transferred to the “emergency control unit”.

If the “emergency control unit” fails to stop the decline and the system’s main control center continues to have problems and eventually reaches total paralysis, the system will enter a frozen state and the main control permission will be transferred to the examiner.

This is like if the automatic mode doesn’t work, then switch to semi-automatic mode. If it doesn’t work, you have to switch to manual mode.

Chu Yue said: “The examiner is currently referring to me and A, so there are very few people involved, as long as we don’t let the chain slip, it will be fine.”

Qin Zhu asked: “What is the emergency control unit in front of you?”

“We don’t know about this, it’s never been triggered.” Chu Yue said, “The rules refer to this thing as Group S for short. It feels like an emergency team, but where does this team come from? We have discussed it many times and feel that Group S should still refer to something evolved from the system, something like an emergency program.”

Qin Jiu thought about it and thought it made sense.

According to this ranking, Group S should theoretically have higher permissions than examiners A and Z, but they are already the highest among the invigilators.Higher than them, probably only the system itself is left.

“So, our plan is actually very simple. It is to wait for a suitable time, paralyze the entire main control center in the shortest possible time, and obtain the main control permission. First, issue an order to release everyone, and then the next order to permanently shut down.”

Qin Jiu asked: “When is the right time?”

Examiner A said: “When the system density decreases, Plan B is completed.”

Chu Yue smiled and said: “Speaking of meticulousness, you are a hero.”

Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows and asked, “Really?”

Chu Yue pointed at Examiner A and said: “He and I are subject to more restrictions, because we have to ensure that we appear to be consistent with the system’s position, so that it will not take back the master control permission in the frozen state. In order to maintain this, we must act appropriately and not really anger the system. Even if we cause trouble, we must restrain ourselves. The whole progress is relatively slow.”

“But you are different. Do you know how many patches you have forced the system to apply during the time you have been here?” Chu Yue looked gloating. “Oh, you may not know. When you go to the main control center one day and pull up the records, you will know the number. Anyway, I feel very good after seeing it. The patches are applied urgently and in large quantities, so it is inevitable.Logically, there will be more and more bugs, both superficial and latent, which will reduce the system’s precision.There is a self-test in the main control center. If the precision density is lower than 70%, the system will adjust itself.We plan to wait until it drops to 75%.As for the plan, the success rate is higher.B——”

Once something goes wrong with this plan, if it is not handled properly, there will definitely be casualties. If the scope of casualties is larger, the consequences will be disastrous.They can’t risk too many lives, so it’s best to have plan B.

Examiner A said: “I’m thinking of ways to make a correction program. It may take some time.”

“Then during this period, I will help you continue to reduce the rigor of the system.” Qin Zhu said.

However, this plan was disrupted midway.

For Examiner A, he suddenly received a red warning from the system, saying that he had a close relationship with examinee Qin Zhu.

For Qin Zhu, it was that he had reached the limit for re-examination and was directly kicked out of the system.

Qin Jiu had not expected this result.Before this, he quietly approached the examiner Z Chuyue and asked her to do herself a favor – if she was sent out of the system, please leave a vacancy for the invigilator.

He will definitely go back.

The moment he was sent out of the system, Qin Jiu suddenly remembered something——

When the system collapses and they return to life smoothly, they need to find a suitable doctor to help Examiner A carefully check his eyes.

I don’t really want to find out anything, but I want a result.

In this way, from now on, the examiner of he can completely relax and no longer have to lower his eyes.

…

When he left the system, late summer had just passed and early autumn had just begun.

In the first few days, he should have been in a coma, and when he woke up, he found himself in the hospital.

It was a hospital associated with the army, and the room was always decorated in pure white with sporadic military green.He stared at the line between plain white and military green for a long time, until a nurse came over and asked him: “What are you looking at?”

He squinted his eyes and was silent for a while, then said, “Nothing.”

Just the two colors put together inexplicably attracted his attention.

He asked the nurse in his trance: “Your ophthalmologist here——”

As he spoke, his voice suddenly disappeared, because he was just halfway through speaking, and suddenly he couldn’t remember why he asked this question.

***

What happened during that time was actually more blurry than ever.

Later, Qin Jiu once doubted, had he really returned to reality, or was he still spinning in a corner of the system?

He didn’t stay in that environment long.

One morning, he was pulled into the system again in the name of the invigilator.

He heard that among colleagues, A and Z have the highest permissions and are called the chief proctors.The he people are ranked by strength, and all the single letters have been used up.Therefore, the pronouns of this new batch of examiners must be a combination of letters, and the pronoun of he is Gin.

That afternoon, the old and new proctors were called together for a meeting.

He met Examiner A in the corridor of the conference room.

He was wearing a plain white shirt and army green trousers and was talking to examiner Z next to him.Most of the time it is Examiner Z who says, he rarely speaks and occasionally nods.

When listening to someone speaking, he always lowers his eyes slightly.

The early autumn sunlight shines through the glass, casting light and shadow on his face.

It was obvious that those eyes were in the shadow, but Qin Zhu felt that he had seen how they looked clear under the light.

Examiner A stopped a few steps away and raised his eyes to look here.

Qin Jiu suddenly asked out of nowhere, “Have I seen you somewhere?”

Examiner A did not speak.

It’s strange, he looks very calm, but it gives people the illusion for a moment… It’s like he is actually very sad.

After a few seconds, Examiner A looked away and said, “No.”
