Chapter 10: Invigilation, The First Deceased Appears

Zhaoyi's seat was towards the back.

Yang Linlin could only catch a glimpse of him from the corner of her eye.

When she learned that Zhaoyi was currently ranked first on the newcomers' leaderboard, she suddenly felt a surge of excitement, as if she saw a glimmer of hope!

Within the three months since the game started attracting new players, the number of players joining had reached hundreds of thousands, if not millions!

To be able to rise to the top among these people, it couldn't be just luck!

He must possess some extraordinary abilities that ordinary people don't have!

But as Yang Linlin observed Zhaoyi absentmindedly flicking an eraser, she couldn't help but feel uneasy!

Could this guy... really be bad at even high school math?

She lowered her head and looked at her own exam paper.

A system of quadratic equations.

Multiple-choice questions.

As simple as it could get.

Did she really need to rely on tossing an eraser to make her choices?

She started to doubt Zhaoyi's intelligence.

Suddenly, the voice of a female teacher came from the podium.

"Don't look around!"

Instantly, a bone-chilling sense of coldness enveloped all the students present!

The female teacher stood up.

Oppressive energy swept over, and all the students sat up straight in their seats!

Zhaoyi also stopped tossing the eraser in his hand.

He flexed his fingers and began to calculate earnestly.

One plus one is two, one plus two is three, three times seven equals twenty-four, four times six equals twenty-eight...

Soon, he finished answering all the questions on the exam paper.

Unexpectedly smooth.

And the female teacher walked down from the podium with her hands behind her back, starting her patrol from the first seat on the right side.

Proctoring exams... nothing out of the ordinary!

What was extraordinary, though, was that she was carrying an axe stained with blood!

When she passed by Zhentao's desk, she stopped in her tracks.

The shadow of the axe precisely fell onto Zhentao's exam paper!

Zhentao kept his head down, tightly gripping his pen, sweat dripping profusely!

At this moment, he dared not lift his head.

His heart was pounding as if it would jump out of his throat!

Did he... sit in the wrong place?

It couldn't be!

Only his stationery pouch nearby was blue...

Please...

Please...

Don't kill me!

His inner self was screaming wildly, and his mental strength was rapidly depleting at a rate of two or three points per second!

Soon, it dropped below 70!

Inside Yang Linlin's livestream chat:

User1: Zhentao is done for. At this rate, he probably won't even make it through the first day.

User2: Most newcomers are like that. Even Linlin Goddess's morale is dropping... sigh, worried about my Goddess!

User3: My god, is Zhaoyi a monster? His mental strength is as steady as an old dog's, and he's still at 101!

User4: I admire Zhaoyi's mental resilience, but his math skills... I'm baffled!

User5: Haha, just came from Zhaoyi's livestream. I took a look at his exam paper, not a single question answered correctly!

...

Zhen Tao's spirit continued to decline, quickly falling below 50!

At this point, he was already in a semi-comatose state.

The female teacher standing next to him also moved out of his range, and Zhen Tao slumped directly onto the table, his eyes vacant.

Then, she stopped next to Zhao Yi.

A familiar sense of oppression struck again.

In fact, Zhao Yi clearly felt a hint of murderous intent.

He lifted his head.

Locked eyes with the female ghost.

The ferocity in her eyes was obstructed by a layer of hazy mist, despite being filled with considerable malice, she remained neutral.

Zhao Yi speculated that this was the effect of the rules.

Even though the female ghost wanted to kill him, as long as Zhao Yi didn't trigger the female ghost's killing trigger, she couldn't act.

From a certain perspective, the female ghost was actually the safest ghost in the classroom.

But safety now did not necessarily mean safety in the future.

Zhao Yi touched the surgical knife in his hand.

Then he put it away.

He wasn't sure if he could kill this female ghost yet, so he decided to hold back for now.

"What are you looking at?"

"It's time for the exam!"

"Hurry up and do the questions!"

The female ghost held an axe and stared fiercely at Zhao Yi, her words filled with a hunting murderous aura!

Whether it was the viewers in Yang Linlin's live stream or Zhao Yi's live stream, their hearts seemed to be in their throats at this moment!

The other party's facial expressions were gradually becoming exaggerated!

But Zhao Yi kept staring at the female ghost and made a clicking sound with his mouth.

The female ghost's face came closer, maliciously saying:

"What are you looking at?"

"Do I have something on my face?"

Zhao Yi replied,

"No, I just think you are beautiful, teacher."

"Just now, I encountered a female ghost who was pushed off the building and died. Her face was all rotten, yet shamelessly appeared in front of me, leaving a great trauma to my young heart!"

Upon hearing Zhao Yi complimenting her appearance, the female teacher's facial expression instantly peaked and revealed a surprised and bashful expression.

"Really? Am I really beautiful, teacher?"

"No!"

"It's time for the exam! Stop trying to get close to me! Hurry up and answer the questions!"

She pressed her hand on Zhao Yi's head, forcing him to look at the exam paper.

Her pale hand was ice-cold, but it didn't harm Zhao Yi.

However, the student in the front row wasn't as lucky.

From the beginning, he was terrified.

And now, his body was trembling like a sieve.

When the female ghost teacher passed by him, the axe in her hand rose for the first time!

"No... teacher... give me another chance... I beg you!"

"I promise... I promise I won't... do it again..."

He suddenly knelt down, hugging the female teacher's legs, crying uncontrollably.

The words in his mouth stopped at a critical point.

The female ghost's axe had already swung down!

Snap!

Blood splattered!

A round head rolled to Zhao Yi's feet, its eyes wide open, filled with resentment and bitterness as it stared at Zhao Yi.

They locked eyes for several seconds.

Zhao Yi slowly extended his leg.

Boom!

He kicked the ghost head away.

Just as luck would have it, it fell right onto Zhen Tao's desk!

Zhen Tao had just experienced the terror inflicted by his female teacher. He had barely regained his composure when he looked up and saw a bloody head staring back at him... His eyes rolled back, and he passed out once again.

Foaming at the mouth.

The people in the classroom all stared at Zhao Yi, and the atmosphere became inexplicably eerie.

Live broadcast comments:

"Haha, whether human or ghost, everyone is showing off, but only Zhen Tao is getting beaten!"

"Zhen Tao: Are you polite?"

"Thank goodness Zhen Tao passed out, otherwise his mental state would continue to decline and he might not have survived, becoming a copy of a monster directly!"

...

The female ghost held a bloodstained axe and turned around, coldly staring at Zhao Yi.

Without hesitation, he handed over his exam paper to her.

"Teacher Li, I'm done."

The female ghost took the paper from Zhao Yi's hand, glanced at it, and said coldly:

"Get lost!"

"If you disturb the order of the exam again, I will cancel your qualification to take the exam!"

Zhao Yi smirked.

"Okay!"

He happily skipped out of the classroom.

Once outside the classroom, Zhao Yi's smile disappeared from his face.

His eyes flickered.

"I think I understand something now."
