Chapter 163 The Miraculous Examination Hall (1)
The medals for the team events at the college sports meet are awarded based on the number of participants in the team. If the team wins first place, they will receive four gold medals.
Therefore, Dong Yinmiao chose the first and second events of the team competition, and quickly rushed to the second event after the first event, catching everyone off guard.
When Dong Yinmiao was teleported to the audience seats, Luo Yuheng nodded to her.
"The next competition won't be so easy. My Drowsiness skill is on cooldown and I can't use it. I also can't use my summoning skill." Although the 4x800m race won't take more than ten minutes to finish, since Dong Yinmiao has already left the examination room, the summoned creatures are still in the examination room, and the system will default to putting the summoning skill on cooldown.
"You have a way, don't you?"
"Everyone uses the same methods; in the end, it's all about speed."
After the last runner, Situ Ling, was sent back to the stands, Dong Yinmiao and the others made some preparations before entering the kayaking test area.
As expected, Situ Ling activated "Drowsiness" and then woke He Yihua first. He Yihua immediately summoned the coordinate system panel and controlled the kayak to accelerate.
Situ Ling quickly woke up Dong Yinmiao and Luo Yuheng.
Dong Yinmiao first used the idiom skill "smooth sailing", and a small sail appeared on the kayak, accelerating the kayak again.
Luo Yuheng activated his most powerful brain, while Situ Ling and Dong Yinmiao observed their surroundings.
Although candidates in the same area at the starting point are controlled by the "drowsy" skill, once the kayaks enter the course, a common course will appear, and all kayaks that have entered that distance will enter a new course.
This is when another major showdown will begin.
Meanwhile, other testing areas for kayaking:
Area 1
"The scenery of the Northland is magnificent, with thousands of miles of ice and snow."
In an instant, the water surface within the skill's coverage area turned to ice, freezing all the kayaks. Yes, all of them, including the kayak where the skill user was located.
"A single spark can start a prairie fire!" In an instant, a great fire melted the icy road ahead.
"There will be times when the wind and waves will be strong, and we will set sail to cross the vast ocean!" The kayak rides the wind and waves.
Area 2
A beautiful young woman took out her flute and played a lullaby, then woke up her teammates one by one.
Area 3
"Shut up and stop what you're doing!"
"Set sail!"
"Speed up!"
Area 4
……
All candidates activated their group control skills to seize the initiative.
"Yihua, turn right," Luo Yuheng suddenly said.
Without saying a word, He Yihua controlled the kayak to make a rightward curve, at which point a swordfish shot out from its original position.
"..."
"A creature summoned by a student who chose biology?" Situ Ling couldn't help but click her tongue. "Is this an attempt to sabotage our kayaks? Aren't we prohibited from using offensive skills?"
"It's not allowed to be used on the test takers, but it doesn't affect their use of our kayaks." Dong Yinmiao shrugged and said, "If we fall into the water, we'll be judged as having failed and teleported back to the audience seats; we won't die."
Before Situ Ling could say anything, Luo Yuheng suddenly said, "Use Shifting Shadows and Stunned Chickens simultaneously in five seconds."
As soon as Luo Yuheng finished speaking, Dong Yinmiao immediately opened the wordless book and wrote: "Shifting Forms and Changing Shadows".
Situ Ling wrote: "Stunned as a statue."
Two seconds later, Dong Yinmiao and his group's leading kayak suddenly took off and switched positions with the kayaks behind them.
Dong Yinmiao and Situ Ling didn't move, but looked at each other and silently synchronized their breathing. The next second, Situ Ling and Dong Yinmiao activated their skills at the same time.
While "standing still like a wooden chicken" controlled all the test takers in the study groups in the region, "shifting form and changing shadow" had already taken effect.
The original position was swapped back by Dong Yinmiao's "teleportation".
At this point, the candidates behind were under a group control system and there was nothing they could do to reverse the situation.
After the kayaking competition, the sports meet was over for Dong Yinmiao and his study group.
For the rest of the day, Dong Yinmiao and her two friends just wanted to lie around in their dorm room and didn't want to watch the other candidates' competitions. They were so tired that they didn't want to move at all.
Although Zeng Runqin was just a participant from beginning to end, she was still a genuine competitor and it was very tiring.
Needless to say, Dong Yinmiao and Situ Ling were also suffering from the double torment of mental tension and physical exhaustion, and all they wanted to do was stay in their dorm room.
After deducting daily expenses, there were 165 points remaining. Dong Yinmiao directly deducted 27 points from each person, keeping 30 points for herself.
For the remaining half day, everyone can do whatever they want.
The three girls weren't very familiar with each other and didn't have anything they wanted to talk about yet. They were all exhausted, so they simply lay down on the bed to rest.
Dong Yinmiao didn't wake up until four in the afternoon; she was still half asleep. Ah, the more half asleep a person is, the harder it is to wake up.
Dong Yinmiao tried calling out to Zeng Runqin and Situ Ling, and sure enough, it was the same. The two of them struggled to wake up in a daze, but failed.
Dong Yinmiao let them sleep. She was indeed tired during this period, and she would naturally wake up when it was time to wake up.
High school seniors don't have much rest time to begin with, and suddenly being pulled into this strange testing center, first experiencing course selection tests, followed by a three-day sports meet, it's only natural that their bodies would be in a state of high energy.
Dong Yinmiao did not leave the dormitory, but instead accessed her information in the examination system.

Other features are yet to be unlocked.
The college entrance exam sports meet is considered a "big benefit giveaway" by the system, so the difficulty level isn't considered high by the exam system. However, in reality, winning the championship and graduating is not an easy feat.
It seems that the requirement to win six gold medals is not high. As long as each member of the team can win one gold medal, the competition allows for ties.
But even with many events in the summer and winter Olympics, it can't keep up with the 3 to 6 participants!
Dong Yinmiao felt that a large number of study groups would take subject exams in the days following the sports meet, otherwise their points would only accumulate.
Nobody dares to gamble on what will happen if they don't accumulate points for a long time. The only option is to complete the subject exams as soon as possible to earn points.
Around 4:30 p.m., Zeng Runqin and Situ Ling finally woke up. After a quick wash, they sat down on chairs.
"Sanshui, what are your plans for the future?" Situ Ling, being in the same class as Dong Yinmiao, spoke first.
Zeng Runqin nodded and asked, "Are we going to take the subject exam a week later, or earlier?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Dong Yinmiao shook her head and said, "According to the system, we must take a subject exam once a week. There are 12 subjects in total. If we calculate based on one exam every seven days, it will take 84 days, which is less than three months."
Dong Yinmiao changed the subject, saying, "But if we really have an exam every seven days, will we really be able to leave the examination hall after three months?"
No one has the answer to this question.
"How long is the exam in the examination room? How long is the exam in the examination hall? Are these times synchronized with real time?" Dong Yinmiao sighed and said, "We don't have the answers."
“I can only guess that the 10,000 students in the study groups here are all elite students in real life.” Dong Yinmiao looked at Situ Ling and Zeng Runqin and said, “Jinglan No.1 High School is also a top high school in Beijing. Even if the students in the Chinese Class can’t get into the top two schools, they can definitely get into other top-tier schools.”
“I know Xiaoqin too. As long as your academic performance isn’t bad, you’re guaranteed a spot at the Shanghai Theatre Academy.” Dong Yinmiao thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know Da Qiao very well, but I know he won first place in the city competition, so I suppose he’s not bad in sports either.”
Seeing that Zeng Runqin was a little down, Dong Yinmiao immediately comforted her, "Although your prop skills didn't come in very handy at the school sports meet, they will definitely be useful in future exams. Besides, we can't do without you, Xiaoqin, for the music and art exams in the future."
Dong Yinmiao and Zeng Runqin were not actually very close, since Zeng Runqin, as an art student, spent most of her time taking classes outside of school.
Especially after the second semester of her junior year, Zeng Runqin left school for intensive training and did not return to Jinglan No.1 Middle School until the start of the second semester of her senior year.
However, Dong Yinmiao and Zeng Runqin were in the same club when they were in the first year of high school and had brief contact with each other.
Dong Yinmiao knew that Zeng Runqin was born into an artistic family; her mother was a pianist and her father was a painter. Although she did not follow in her parents' footsteps, she was still influenced by them from a young age and had some knowledge of musical instruments and painting.
As dance students, they are no strangers to music. After all, dancing involves changing one's posture to the rhythm of the music.
Therefore, Dong Yinmiao preferred Zeng Runqin, who understood both art and music, to students who chose art majors.
Zeng Runqin's emotions came and went quickly. She is a proud person, and she was the only one at this sports meet who didn't win a single medal, so she was indeed in a bad mood.
Students choosing dance and physical education courses receive props that enhance their professional skills, unlike those for other majors.
The exam hall is fair; every prop has its place, it's just that they're not suitable for the school sports meet.
