Chapter 1224: Chapter 540: I Am an Antenna—Who Wants to Invest in My AI Project? Let’s Build AI Together! (3)

[Reward: Physical Improvement: Spiritual Qi absorption speed increased by 100%; System Currency*50]

The system indeed didn’t disappoint Lin Li; the tasks issued were almost the same as before, but the rewards were much more meager in comparison.

Still, something is better than nothing.

However, it could be that the task was triggered late. Last time, it was encountered at the very start of the exam, and the "Sect Contest" had nearly a full three days left, but this time there was only an afternoon left, so fewer rewards were inevitable.

How to interfere... how to stop this guy in the best way.

Standing up and reporting him straight away is still the most effective method.

But for us cultivators, playing like this is way too dull.

Yoshi.

Crafty ideas are generating.

"Teacher, I need to go to the restroom." Lin Li quickly walked to the podium and whispered.

...

After a while, Lin Li returned from the restroom.

As he was about to close the door to block the cold air outside—

"Flap flap flap!"

A rapid flapping sound accompanied by a brief "caw" descended from above, instantly shattering the exam room’s solemn silence.

Everyone’s attention, including the invigilating teacher who was looking down at the exam papers, was involuntarily drawn towards it.

A totally pitch-black crow with sleek, glossy feathers flew in with Lin Li and was now circling around the back of the classroom like a headless fly.

A girl afraid of birds exclaimed softly.

"Quiet, everyone remain calm!" The invigilating teacher promptly stood up, his voice steadily suppressing the commotion: "It’s just a bird. Students by the window, open the curtains and windows wider to let it fly out! Everyone else, continue your exams!"

The students near the windows hastily complied, pushing open several sliding windows as wide as possible.

The crow made a turn in the air, seemingly attracted by the fresh air and light suddenly streaming in, then poised to fly towards the open window.

Just as everyone thought this little episode was coming to an end, even the invigilating teacher started to relax and was ready to sit back down—

The crow dived sharply like an arrow, skimming precisely over the head of the boy who had just been sneaking a peek at his cheat sheet in the second-to-last row.

Frightening the boy into ducking his head.

However, the crow’s target was not his head.

It hovered skillfully in the air, lightly landing on the boy’s lap.

"Oh crap!" The boy’s body went stiff, able to clearly feel the crow’s claws through the thin school pants, both prickly and weighty, completely clueless about what to do now; somewhat thrilled and feeling pretty cool that he was actually this charismatic.

The crow tilted its shiny black head, lingered briefly on his leg, then swiftly lowered its small head, and its sharp beak darted towards the boy’s school uniform pants pocket—

Ah!

A neatly folded piece of paper very coincidentally had a corner protruding, and the crow’s beak accurately gripped that exposed edge.

"Oh crap!!"

This "oh crap" was even more genuine and heartfelt.

The boy was dumbfounded.

When the commotion had just begun, he had stuffed the cheat sheet into his pocket, but if his memory was correct, he had put the cheat sheet deep inside, so how could it have a corner sticking out?

It couldn’t possibly be that someone possessed the "marking" ability, so despite leaving just now, they could precisely locate the cheat sheet and deliberately make it fly out by having the "Invisible Sword" possess it at this moment, could it?

No way, there’s no such supernatural power in reality.

The boy couldn’t figure it out; he couldn’t even imagine this development, thus his mind was slightly blank.

Once the crow slyly drew out the entire small paper completely, it flaunted it in its beak, then flapped its wings and flew towards the podium under the astonished gazes of the entire class.

It gently landed on the edge of the lecturer’s desk, dropping the crumpled piece of paper filled with tiny handwriting onto the invigilating teacher’s blank answer sheet.

After completing all this, the crow glanced around, its gaze fixed on a used-up white piece of chalk in the chalk trough on the desk.

"Caw!" It joyfully called out again, lowered its head, picked up that chalk piece, then amidst the stunned gaze of the invigilating teacher and the whole class, flapped away directly to perch on the high metal frame holding the projection screen at the front of the classroom.

Casually dropped the chalk piece on the frame, then looked down from above, leisurely grooming the feathers on its chest with its beak, as if enjoying the chaos it had created.

—Well, the reason for the extra peck was to make the whole scene seem more natural, as if it was the bird’s "instinct," rather than targeting anyone.

The invigilating teacher first looked up at the bird, then lowered his gaze onto the cheat sheet on the answer sheet.

"..."

"..."

He slowly, slowly raised his head.

His gaze pierced through rows of heads pretending to work but with ears perked up, unfalteringly aiming at the bewildered boy in the second-to-last row.

Four eyes met.

The realization dawns.

Boy: "Oh crap..."

Brother Crow, you wickedly flipped my table...
