427 I Don’t Know What’s Going On Either
“Feeling the sun on my skin is still better.”
Standing under the sun, there was a girl in a rather gorgeous dress. The girl was about 20 years old. When other passers-by saw this girl, they were a little surprised, as she looked a little familiar.
Si Yuming?
It seemed so.
She was the granddaughter of a legendary fifth-level alchemist in the Alchemist Guild. Furthermore, she was famous in her own right, as despite her relatively young age, she was already a third-level alchemist.
She had come to this area this time because it had been a long time since she had seen the sun. She really missed the feeling of being bathed in the sun, so she had traveled thousands of miles to this area to enjoy the sun in the sky. For the next few months or so, Si Yuming was prepared to follow the sun around the Alchemist Valley.
However, at this moment, Si Yuming felt that the atmosphere in this place was a little strange.
“I was planning to go to the Alchemist Guild to greet everyone and discuss alchemy, but it seems that there is something going on at the guild here. Should I check it out?”
Si Yuming glanced at the entrance of the Alchemist Guild as she thought about it. However, she was already involuntarily walking to the guild’s entrance, clearly curious about what was going on.
When she stepped inside, she realized that there was no one in the guild, at least not at the lobby. Instead, she could hear loud noises coming from the back of the guild.
“What’s going on?” Si Yuming was even more confused.
She glanced at the sun outside.
After making sure that the sun was still normal and slowly moving forward, Si Yuming hurried over, eager to sate her curiosity.
…
The level three Alchemist from before, the old man, had already arrived, and was watching Yuchi write his answers at a frantic pace.
Compared to the 100 subjective questions in the first-level assessment, there were 200 questions for this one, and a two-hour time limit. The maximum score was also increased to 200.
Normally, any alchemist would double or triple-check their answers, and would only take the assessment after mastering the questions from the past years of the assessments.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yuchi did take more time to answer the questions. However, the previous five minutes had merely increased to ten minutes.
When Yuchi placed the pen on the table, the crowd finally exhaled. They felt like they had been holding their breaths the entire time. A collective exhale could be heard at the assessment venue.
“It’s really too terrifying. Ten minutes… that was all he took!”
“That’s the time it would take for me to answer less than ten questions, but he got all of them right.”
“He’s inhuman. In the history of the Alchemist Guild, such a feat has never been achieved!”
They did not need to review Yuchi’s answers at all, because during the assessment, there were already people looking through his answers as he wrote them.
Some of the lower-level alchemists were stumped by his answers. They knew the basic answers to the questions, but what Yuchi wrote went far beyond that, so many times they were forced to look at the higher-level alchemists to see if the answers were actually correct.
Each and every time, the answer to that question was yes.
It was another full score… 200 points!
“This is the most absurd thing I’ve seen in my life!”
“This is unbelievable!”
“Is this guy a high-level practicing alchemist who just never took the assessment?”
Right now, everyone had their own guesses. Very few people would believe that Yuchi spent less than a day studying and mastering the study materials.
It did not make sense after all.
Now, everyone was looking forward to the practical assessment.
Si Yuming finally arrived, but still had no idea what was going on.
Why were these people so excited?
What was going on?
Thinking this, Si Yuming immediately called out to one of the people in charge of the Alchemist Guild, “What’s the situation now?”
The person-in-charge turned to look at Si Yuming. After recognizing who she was, he looked at the other alchemists who were crowding around Yuchi and walking toward another assessment venue. After briefly hesitating, he said, “I don’t know what’s going on either. Goodbye.”
