[R18] Global College Entrance Examination – “Global College Entrance Examination” Chapter 58 [English]

☆, Chapter 58 Change of dishes tonight

The captain said that this merchant fleet has a history of nearly a century. It is an ancient fleet that has suffered many disasters but is blessed by God.

“This fleet has always had one belief – goods return to land and people return to the bottom of the sea.” said the first mate.

“I know what it means to return goods to the land, but what does it mean to return people to the bottom of the sea…” Di Li, a good student, asked sincerely, feeling confused by this half-sentence.

“Crewmen guard the sea all their lives. If something unfortunate happens during the delivery, wouldn’t it mean that they end up at the bottom of the sea?” said the first mate.

The captain and the first mate have been together for a long time, and they have learned to speak mute Chinese – they can understand it when they listen, but they can only dance word by word when speaking.

After hearing the first mate’s words, the captain added a word next to it: “Wave.”

First mate: “…”

Di Li: “What?”

The captain scratched the scab from the wound on his arm and added a bird’s song energetically.

The first mate rolled his eyes, expressing disdain for his Chinese proficiency.

Then the translator said: “What the captain just meant is that sleeping in the sea is a kind of romance unique to sailors. Although you may think it is quite sick…”

The candidates thought for a while and said, “Well…it’s actually understandable.”

The first mate added: “Oh, yes, I almost forgot, I heard before that you are also voyagers? That’s what I think.”

Di Li: “No, I’m still young.”

The captain burst into laughter.

“In short -” the first mate summed up forcefully and continued: “The fleet has practiced this belief from generation to generation. Every time it goes to sea to deliver goods, no matter where it goes or what happens, there will always be someone alive to deliver the goods to the destination. There is only one exception.”

“This is it.”

“The sea area we are staying in now is the most dangerous place. When taking this delivery route, we often lose our way in the middle and accidentally get trapped here. The fleet has passed over many people here, and in the worst moments, no one survived.”

Candidates almost understand when they hear this.

The so-called generations of crew members who have been here for generations should refer to the former examination room.There’s a merchant fleet stuck here every exam.

If the candidates can solve the problem, then someone in the fleet can return alive.

If the candidates cannot solve it, the crew members will die from various problems one after another, and eventually the entire team will be buried on this desert island.

“But there are always times when we are lucky and are favored by God.” said the first mate.

“So the crew members who returned alive left behind legends by word of mouth. Well… the captain said it is impossible to determine who said it specifically. Anyway, in the legend, the farewells on the desert island symbolize life and hope. The scene you see at night should be the farewells. Some people call them undead, but to us, they are angels.”

“…”

The examinee’s expression was hard to describe, and he said in his heart that your angel is really scary.

The captain interjected again with excitement.

He always looks full of energy, even if he is thin and out of shape, he can still laugh out loud.

Such a captain can really inspire people. Even the candidates feel a lot more relaxed, as if they can say goodbye to this place with a wave of their hands.

“The captain said that vague terms like vitality and hope are too nonsense. He studied some information and learned that the so-called hope refers to melting ice. The appearance of the sender means that the ice covering the sea will melt, and we can set sail and leave here.”

The first mate also became happy.

But he was strict by nature, so he smiled and then said with a straight face: “As long as everything goes well.”

The captain is like a big monkey, coaxing a whole crew to slip out of the hole.

Sneaked back after a while.

“I haven’t seen the senders yet. Maybe they won’t show up during the day?”

“However, there are several potholes behind the cave, which may have been made by them.”

The crew member said with a blush on his face.

The first mate was also red, but held it in check.

The examinee’s face turned green after hearing this.

“What do you mean by knocking out a hole? Your angel crawled out?”

“Come out to meet hope and the sun.”

“In addition, there is no change in the sea surface for the time being, but Van Noord said that he can feel the restlessness of the ice. He is an expert!”

The crew members put their arms around each other and began to dance the sailor dance.

The candidates leaned against the wall, helpless.

The captain raked his long, knotted hair and sat down in front of You Huo and Qin Zhu.The first mate resignedly followed and acted as translator.

“Such a surprise, isn’t it worth celebrating? Your people seem to be very calm.”

They mistook other candidates for crew members.

Youhuo didn’t explain much. After all, he couldn’t explain it to the NPC.

“If it refers to the melting of ice, we knew about it last night, so it’s not a surprise.” Qin Zhu said.

The captain was surprised.

“How do you know? Have you ever heard of such a legend?”

Qin Jiu: “That’s not what I heard from a rabbit.”

Captain: “Rabbit? Fairy tale? I like it. Which magical rabbit is it? Do I have the honor to see it?”

Qin Jiu brought over the roast rabbit enshrined in the corner.

Captain: “…”

he looked at the rabbit a little strangely.

It was so weird that it almost didn’t look like an NPC, but only for a moment.

Soon he scratched his head again and muttered.

The first mate hesitated, then the translator said, “This fairy tale has a slightly dark ending.”

Youhuo suddenly said: “No one can be more black than a rabbit himself.”

“Are you two fleets joining together?” the first mate.

“Us?”

The first mate pointed at Qin Jiu and then at You Huo: “You guys.”

“Why do you say that?” Qin Zhu glanced at You Huo and asked playfully, “We don’t look like we are in the same boat?””

The first mate shook his head: “You look like captains, two captains.”

Qin Ju pointed at Youhuo: “Is there such an indifferent captain?”

The first mate said seriously: “Anyway, there is no such thing as a first mate who ignores people.”

Youhuo: “…”

Being blackmailed in front of him, he stood up with a sneer, stamped his numb feet and asked the captain: “The ice will melt tomorrow, and we will send you back to the voyage. Tell us what you need to prepare now.””

“tomorrow?Are you sure?”

“Um.”

The captain suddenly jumped up: “That’s really tight!”

There are a lot of things to prepare for the return trip.

If the merchant ship is damaged and it doesn’t affect navigation, forget it, it’s just usable.The affected ones must be repaired.

On the way back, fuel is also needed to maintain life in the cabin.

In addition, the goods also need to be counted.

Everyone was eager to get rid of the shadow of the human face and got up to help, in order to finish the exam as soon as possible.

Is there a gap in the side of the boat?

Destroy that system ship.

Too many holes in the deck?

Destroy that system ship.

Is the rudder frozen?

Let’s dismantle the system ship.

Qin Jiu’s advantage as an invigilator was fully demonstrated at this time.

He knows most of the punishment rules and knows that no matter what is done, he will be punished. He stares at a sheep and plucks out its hair. There is no difference between half plucked out and bald.

Anyway, he and Youhuo were fined for scrapping the ship, so the fate of the system ship was destined to be bad.

The candidates all have a strong desire to survive, and their efficiency in repairing ships is astonishingly high.

At the end of the day, two of the three merchant ships were repaired.

At this rate, setting sail tomorrow won’t be a problem.

The crew thought about it and danced around the fire again.

But the bustle didn’t last long.

As soon as night fell, the examinees held them down and asked them to go to bed quickly, lest there would be too much movement and attract the “angels” again.

***

At 11:55 at night, the cave was blazing with fire and unusually quiet.

The excited crew members all fell asleep, and the atmosphere returned to tension.

Chen Fei and Huang Rui raised their heads and leaned against the stone wall.

After listening to Qin Jiu’s words, they did not forget to prepare while repairing the ship during the day.

Chen Fei held the torch in one hand and the knife in the other.

The knife was borrowed by he from the merchant ship crew. It came from the kitchen and was suitable for chopping melons and meat.

Huang Rui was holding two long iron hooks.

He has considered the anchor, which is extremely powerful and can stun monsters without any problem.But I couldn’t move it even though I tried sucking the milk, so I had to give up.

The two of them held the murder weapon and felt a little more at ease.

But his fingers still couldn’t stop shaking.

11:57.

The roasted rabbit kicked its legs and suddenly said:

[There are still 2 minutes and 15 seconds left before 0 o’clock, so today’s score will be recalculated.】

[Today’s candidates will trigger a total of one scoring point.】

[1. Repair two ships.】

[The specific scoring is as follows:]

[Repairing a merchant ship totals 6 points, including 3 points for preparing materials and tools, and 3 points for repairs.】

On the stone wall, because of everyone’s participation, each score bar ran the same length.

Each group was added to 6 points.

[All bonus points have been calculated, now the deductions are calculated.】

[A total of one deduction point will be triggered by candidates today.】

[1. The crew did not eat three meals and fell asleep due to fatigue and hunger.】

The candidates were speechless.

They didn’t even mention eating, so is this our fault?

But the system is still beeping:

[The specific scoring is as follows:]

[Extreme hunger will affect the crew’s return. They will have no energy to sail or steer, which will cause endless troubles.Each candidate will deduct 2 points.】

The score strips on the stone wall changed again.

Speaking of adding and subtracting, there are four more points in total.

But in reality, there is no change in the rankings tonight.

Youhuo had expected points to be deducted from roasting the rabbit before, but the system seemed to be smarter this time.

Maybe the roasted rabbit still doesn’t affect the vocalization, and both of them have been punished. It has sufficient reasons not to deduct points from the two annoying candidates, so as not to damage its punishment tool again.

So this night, Chen Fei and Huang Rui were still last.

No one came to the rescue.

***

On the top of the damp and cold cave, the ugly octopus lay silently.

It’s time to eat again, but it’s not happy at all.

It is very sad…

The food skin last time was too much and all its tentacles were destroyed.It took a day to finally raise it back. If it meets those two people again…

It would rather starve to death, at least with dignity.

It lay there for a while, and finally waited for the final result.

The round eyes suddenly lit up!

Great, changing the dishes tonight!

Finally able to have a full meal!

It opened its black mouth, dripping with saliva, and stretched out sinful tentacles from top to bottom.

The author has something to say: There are still two chapters left in this volume. I have been backstage for two days and I am short of comments. I resumed giving out red envelopes in the evening.

Okay~

And is it too early tonight?Praise me【bushi】
