432: Chapter 412: Comfort 432: Chapter 412: Comfort “675 points?
Seems like it’s not bad?”
When Lu Ping’an got his test results, he didn’t feel much.
“How many points?” He casually asked ow, who also just got her test results envelope.
ow’s hand holding the paper trembled, then she laughed, “What test?
It doesn’t exist.
We’re just here for sightseeing.”
“…Don’t eat it!
Tell how many points you got…how can you bite?!
You’re a cat!”
Shaking off ow who was hanging on him, it seed that the mystery of her test score would never be revealed.
“…
It’s not that bad, it’s your first ti taking the test, and more than sixty points is not embarrassing.”
“Nonsense!
I’ve passed eighty, ow!
Eighty-eight!
Huh?”
At this mont, covering her mouth was too late.
ow, who suddenly beca the center of attention, felt a little pitiful…Lu Ping’an’s sympathetic gaze made her cover her face and run away.
As usual, after teasing ow, Lu Ping’an’s mood improved a lot, and he casually checked the latest passing line.
“371 points…
so I did quite well?”
“…This year’s passing line is relatively low, but you did do well.” Xia Qin said with mixed feelings.
She actually took the test twice.
She took it once during her sophomore year, with slightly better results than ow but not by much.
Realizing her own foundations were not enough, she took the test a second ti after starting work, and at that ti the passing line was around 400 points, which she barely passed with 420 points.
Of course, once you get this qualification certificate, no one knows or will ask you how many points you scored…uh, although there are so strange employers who like to ask how many points you scored in the Level 6 test, the number is still relatively small.
What made Xia Qin feel complicated was that Lu Ping’an, who was an ordinary person not long ago, had indeed beco a professional above the standard line.
She knew that there must have been so “cheating” in these exams, but even without considering the unwritten rule that “cheating without being caught is strength” among professionals, Lu Ping’an would probably pass with his own strength…
just with his skills and the final practical battle, he was a standard professional Secret Keeper.
At this mont, she felt a bit afraid.
If she hadn’t made a split-second decision to give her all to protect Lu Ping’an back then, what might have happened…uh, it seed that without Lu Ping’an, there wouldn’t have been those disasters, right?
No, it’s possible that it would have pushed him to the other side, he wasn’t that honest.
Xia Qin got caught up in her tangled thoughts, and her already average mind beca a little rusty.
“What were you thinking?
Is there a way to get information about the upcoming events?
At this point, we still don’t have any information about the Explorer test, right?”
At his words, Xia Qin suddenly woke up and thought about it, but she couldn’t help shaking her head.
“…Tsk, it’s locked down so tight.
It seems they’re playing a big ga.
At least one of us has to pass the test, otherwise when we go to the Foreign Domain, we’ll have to rely on others, and that’s too passive.”
Looking at Lu Ping’an pondering deeply, Xia Qin fell silent for a mont and then nodded her head.
She knew her abilities were limited, and being a small team captain might be her limit.
At least now, it should be much better than doing nothing.
The Secret Keeper exam was over, and the significant decrease in difficulty this ti undoubtedly made most people feel happy about the reality.
Many people have taken the exam for five or six years and have beco “test veterans”…which is when you co to take the exam when the ti cos, flip through the books two months before the exam, and go from yourself to your family and friends without any high expectations, only to be surprised or even scared when they find out they actually passed this ti.
The passing line is the most contested area.
Sotis a single point can make a difference of thousands or tens of thousands of people.
This ti the overall score dropped by 30 points while the exam difficulty decreased, so the number of people who passed increased sharply.
It can be said that it was the best exam result in 30 years.
But so people slled a subtle feeling from it.
The most optimistic estimate before was that the passing rate would increase by 30%…
but a rough estimate with such a significant increase in the passing line, it had increased by at least 50%.
Maybe it’s the result of having strategies from above and policies from below…when the tis of chaos and change are coming, expanding the military is the best ans of self-preservation.
Perhaps many outstanding professionals will choose to beco Explorers, and their vacancies will need newcors to fill.
Maybe the incoming “black ships” will bring more shocks, and it is obvious that the demand for defensive forces on our side will increase.
Expanding the Special Service Team may beco the norm.
“…Many people who weren’t up to standard also got in this ti…” Xia Qin, who was once confident because of her certificate, felt a bit subtle.
It was probably the feeling of having sothing they once treasured suddenly being obtained by a group of people at a cheap price…
“…change the way you think about it.
From this year on, it will be a dividing line.
Afterward, any Secret Keepers will be questioned about their qualifications, but when you ntion ‘I passed the exam back in the 90s, before the reform, it was so difficult back then,’ you’ll receive looks of admiration.
That’s an achievent that not even the most outstanding future generations will have a chance to complete…”
Lu Ping’an’s consolation made Xia Qin smile and shake her head.
She didn’t really care too much.
At her level, she even viewed the Secret Keeper qualification rely as a starting point.
But with Lu Ping’an’s words, her mood naturally improved a lot.
In fact, as far as Lu Ping’an could see, the value of the “Secret Keeper qualification” will indeed diminish a lot later on…because the higher value “Explorer Certificate” ca along.
In the tis when there were not many college students, undergraduate degrees would be valuable, but after a few decades, with the large production of graduate students, the value of undergraduate degrees would naturally depreciate…
Many of the civil service positions and job opportunities that could have been passed before would now dismiss the highly valued graduates of the past.
The torrent of ti will silently change in various places, it’s unstoppable and unnecessary to stop.
And the impact of the new era soon hit both examinees hard.
“…There is no written test?
Are you serious?”
The exam’s process ca even earlier than its content.
When the news that there would be no written test was announced, all candidates were shocked.
The reason?
The reference books spread in front of Lu Ping’an and Xia Qin…
“Are you kidding ?
No written exam?!
What about all the Exotic Realm knowledge we’ve been studying?
And the hellish Exotic Realm etiquette?”
Just by referring to the education reform of Ancient City University, it’s obvious how many new courses are required to beco a qualified “Exotic Realm Traveler.”
In recent days, educational materials about “reforming education” have been touted, and nurous senior Secret Keepers have been preparing for the Explorer exam to get so points.
Considering that the Secret Keeper qualification exam requires a massive accumulation of knowledge, it doesn’t make sense not to include these knowledge points in the Explorer qualification exam.
The amount of knowledge needed would only be more and more diverse…
“I heard it’s because there’s not enough ti, and it’s unfair to senior Secret Keepers with poor learning abilities…” This argunt seed to have so rit.
Many professionals who have been in the business for over a decade would find it easy to kill and fight monsters but would struggle to study and prepare for exams.
This news ca too suddenly, and most people simply didn’t have ti to prepare.
Even the textbooks and tutoring books were hastily pieced together, and no one felt confident.
“Then is it fair for those elite professionals with strong learning abilities?” The argunt might not sound very pleasant, but if there were limited quotas, one side’s gain would be the other side’s loss.
“…That’s just the official explanation.
I’ve actually heard so rumors from my young cadre group…”
“What?
Tell .”
“Wanjing organized a mock exam with questions made by the scumbags who created the Secret Keeper qualification exam.
As a result, a few rule-level big shots who took the exam ahead of ti ended up trashing the testing site after a full day of struggle.
In their rage, they secretly vandalized the Ministry of Education at night…”
Lu Ping’an fell silent.
Although it sounded ridiculous, it seed more truthful than the reason given above…
If this happened nationwide, such “tragedies” would probably occur many tis, considering the hidden powerhouses in various regions.
But since the matter has been settled, regardless of whether the system is fair or not, they can only adapt to the new rules and prepare well…
At least until they have the ability to trash the Ministry of Education.
“This exam is rather special…” Lu Ping’an was reminded of what the director of the Ministry of Education had said.
It’s possible that this is the only chance, and the higher-ups do not want to use the “written test” to block the potential combat power.
Lu Ping’an sighed helplessly, tossing the books he had been reading lately to the side…
He was actually doing fine since he had “cheat tools.” He rely focused on brushing up his knowledge from the textbooks used in his school, as he was sure it would be useful later on.
But Xia Qin, who had two dark circles under her eyes, was truly frustrated.
She ca in advance, focusing on cramming until today.
She knew her learning ability well…
It was not bad, but definitely not good either.
Plus, she had been imrsed in combat these past years and had grown accustod to using her muscles to think.
“Look on the bright side.
The knowledge in these books will definitely co in handy in the future…
um, I know this is usually what parents say to console their children, but you should believe it.
People need to learn to deceive themselves in order to live a slightly more comfortable life.”
