Chapter 156 The Miraculous Examination Hall (4)
After speaking, Situ Ling summoned her prop, which, like Dong Yinmiao's, was a book. However, Situ Ling's was a pure white book with the words "Shared White Paper" written on it.
“My prop only has one shared function,” Situ Ling said with a smile. “Of course I don’t think my prop is trash, but it is true that it becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents and weaker when facing weaker ones.”
Shared development can be considered a compulsory topic in the first year of high school politics.
The tenth lesson in the compulsory first-year high school politics course is about the new development philosophy and economic construction in the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
It states: "To uphold the principle of shared development, we must adhere to the principle that development is for the people, relies on the people, and its fruits are shared by the people. We must do more to benefit the people and alleviate their concerns, continuously meet the people's growing needs for a better life, and ensure that all people have a greater sense of gain in the process of building and sharing development. We must also ensure that the fruits of reform benefit all people more and more fairly, and continue to move towards common prosperity."
"Our team is definitely a very strong team, and your props will play an important role," Dong Yinmiao said confidently.
"Okay, I believe you."
Ultimately, all four people Dong Yinmiao found agreed to join the study group. They are...

Exam Preparation Items: Javelin (Skills: 1. Throwing – Candidates throw javelins and hit targets in the exam room, ten times per day. No skill cooldown. 2. Generation – After a candidate throws a javelin in the exam room, the system automatically generates a new javelin, which must be used in conjunction with the throwing skill. No skill cooldown.)
The overall team composition is slightly biased towards humanities, but with academic genius Luo Yuheng and science whiz He Yihua balancing it out, it's just right.
Dong Yinmiao didn't just find these four classmates, but a total of ten classmates. They learned about each other's props and skills before making their choices.
Dong Yinmiao's goal is not to keep the best students in her team, but to enable as many teams as possible to pass all the subject exams.
At least for now, all the candidates are not adversaries; they only need to complete their exams to leave this magical academy.
Even if conflicting questions arise during the exam, such conflict is confined to the exam room.
If any candidate truly lacks rationality and brings the adversarial relationships from the exam room into their life at the exam center, then Dong Yinmiao can only say that this candidate will not go far.
Study groups are formed to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, and serve as channels for information exchange between groups. There are twelve subjects in total for the exams: Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Politics, History, Music, Art, and Physical Education.
Each study group chooses different exam subjects in different order, so they can exchange information about the exam venue for each other's subjects.
Although the exam questions may not be exactly the same, some things are interchangeable.
Situ Ling and He Yihua were members Dong Yinmiao had already decided to form a team with, but Dong Yinmiao had more to consider regarding the arts and sports category. She needed to decide whether to choose a music student or an art student, as they would be the talent her team lacked.
For music students and sports students, choosing the latter is better.
Although Luo Yuheng did not tell Dong Yinmiao about his props and skills, Dong Yinmiao, who had access to the plot, naturally knew what Luo Yuheng's props and skills were.
After all, in the original storyline, everyone started with 0 points. Daily life activities such as accommodation and meals all require points, so after all the candidates completed their team formation, the examination system directly launched the physical education exam for all candidates.
Since this physical education exam is considered a bonus, the number of failures for students who fail this exam will not be counted as a failing grade. They can retake the physical education class in the future, and they will only have to repeat the course if they fail the second physical education exam.
The opening physical education exam questions were about the school sports meet.
Everyone used their own props and skills during the school sports meet, so Dong Yinmiao naturally knew what Luo Yuheng's skills were.
Name: Luo Yuheng
Sex: Male
College Entrance Examination Subject Selection: Physics, Chemistry, Biology
Major subject for the examination: Mathematics
Exam Preparation Item: The Ultimate Brain (Skills: 1. Calculation – Candidates can modify the trajectory of objects during the exam by calculating their movement, thus changing the original trajectory. Duration: 30 minutes. Cooldown: 1 hour. 2. Prediction – Candidates can predict events that will occur in the next hour by observing patterns and logically deducing. Cooldown: 1 day. 3. Fate Alter – When predicting events that will occur in the next hour, candidates can change the future by altering key points. Requires use in conjunction with the prediction skill. Cooldown: 1 exam session.)
It can be said that among all the props and skills, Luo Yuheng's is the most powerful, but no one else can replicate this power.
Even if Situ Ling has access to the shared white paper and can share Luo Yuheng's brilliant mind, but...
The most amazing thing about "The Brain" is not the three skills it has, but the person who controls those skills.
That person needs to have strong calculation skills, logical thinking, and a keen sense of things; in short...
That's not a skill that an ordinary person can possess.
With this skill, Luo Yuheng can be considered the absolute king of throwing sports. His ability to calculate the trajectory of his thrown objects is already incredible, but he can also alter their trajectory. What can you possibly do against him?
However, it can also be seen that the team formed by Dong Yinmiao currently has a major flaw.
That means the attack power is insufficient.
Zeng Runqin's water sleeves and Qiao Zishan's javelin are currently the only two attack methods.
Both Luo Yuheng and He Yihua's skills have a certain degree of control.
Situ Ling can share other people's props and skills, but water sleeves and javelins require skill, which are more professional skills that Situ Ling does not possess.
The "Super Brain" thing... forget about it. Even if it were shared, no one would know how to use it, and using it would be no different from not using it at all. Not everyone is like Luo Yuheng, okay?
All that's left is He Yihua's coordinate system panel and Dong Yinmiao's wordless book.
Although the coordinate system panel is a tool used in physics, it's relatively simple to use. You just need to draw the trajectory on it. Situ Ling finds this tool quite easy to use.
However, the biggest reason why Dong Yinmiao chose Situ Ling had nothing to do with the other teammates, but because of Dong Yinmiao's own prop - the Wordless Book.
In the realm of science, it's safe to say that "The Brain" is undoubtedly the most powerful tool.
In the humanities, Dong Yinmiao wouldn't dare say that his wordless book is the strongest, but he would certainly dare say that it's among the top ten.
Historically, candidates have never been allowed to bring communication devices into examination rooms. So, if a group of six enters the examination room, will they all be in the same place? What if they aren't? What if you can't contact your teammates without a communication device? What if you don't know where to meet up?
Problems will arise, and naturally, there will be corresponding solutions.
With the wordless book in hand, Dong Yinmiao has an even simpler and more direct way to contact his teammates.
As the saying goes, "Though we lack the wings of a phoenix to fly together, our hearts are connected by a telepathic understanding." As long as Dong Yinmiao writes "telepathic understanding" in the wordless book, Dong Yinmiao believes that the generated skill will definitely be related to barrier-free long-distance dialogue between two people.
With Situ Ling's shared props, at least four members of Dong Yinmiao's team were able to communicate without any problems in the examination room.
Why is it said to be the least?
Because Dong Yinmiao can write down three idioms in the exam room, besides "telepathy", there are two other idioms that, based on "telepathy", might help Dong Yinmiao and Situ Ling contact their other two teammates.
"Multitasking" or "being distracted" means establishing contact with a third person simultaneously while being in sync with them. However, this requires a high level of concentration from the user.
Because the three people are connected through the skill user, the medium between them is the user, and the other two are independent of each other.
Simply put, on the surface, ABC has established a group chat, but in reality, this group chat is an ABC group chat composed of AB and AC. The transmission of information between BC requires A as a conduit, and BC cannot communicate directly with each other, while AB and AC can communicate directly with each other.
What happens if B and C talk to A simultaneously? A can't multitask and receive information from both B and C at the same time. If B talks to C first or C talks to B first, an information gap will occur. This information gap could potentially change the exam results.
Of course, these are all just Dong Yinmiao's current speculations.
After all, the skills of the wordless book are unknown and can only be known through experimentation.
The reading room has study group discussion rooms, which can simulate the examination environment, allowing candidates to experiment with and familiarize themselves with their props and skills.
