He... had handed in his paper?

What a joke, the exam was not even started yet.

The qualification examination for the restricted book area would only start after the public area on the first floor of the library was closed.

In the previous hour, everyone would usually choose to examine the questions first.

After the library on the first floor was closed, the examinees would go to the bookshelves and search for information on the questions they were not familiar with.

After that, they would return to complete the questions in the exam paper.

This was why Fang Yuan found the questions in the exam paper to be unexpectedly numerous and complicated.

Because the exam duration lasted an entire night!

But Fang Yuan was better. He sat on his seat and answered the questions right at the beginning of the exam. He did not even look up the information, and the answers were written very quickly.

Even Chen Ying, who had just seen Fang Yuan's performance in the competition, could not help but frown.

Although she respected Fang Yuan, but objectively speaking, Fang Yuan was, after all, from the bottom. It was through the pet battle, step by step, that he slowly climbed from Class D to Class A. Unlike other students, who had learned a lot of common knowledge about pets in advance.

This was just like many children from noble schools, who started learning foreign languages from kindergarten, while ordinary people might only start learning from junior high and high school.

They had more than ten years of foundation, how could you catch up in a day and a night?

Today's written test was by the same logic. Chen Ying was born in a scientific research family and loved to read since she was young. She was also the type who read a lot.

Only then did she have the confidence to sit in this place and take the exam..

But even if it was her, she did not have the confidence to say that she was done  and completed all the questions within an hour.

Chen Ying did not say anything. She just looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief.

The other onlookers had already started whispering to each other.

"Isn't Fang Yuan being a little too arrogant? This paper is not like a fight. It's not like whoever has the bigger fist has the final say."

"Maybe he just scribbled on the paper, and when he found that it didn't make any sense, he quickly took the opportunity to submit the paper in advance and run away."

"Whether you believe it or not, I don't believe that there is genius in this world. If Fang Yuan can pass the exam like this, I'll eat this book on the spot."

2

Everyone in the world, when encountering something that did not make sense, their first reaction would definitely be suspicion.

"What's the noise about?"

From the library's office, an old man in a long robe walked out. He was dressed in a black robe with a silver lining. This was the director of the library, Lin Bai.

He was also the question setter and the examiner for the exam.

The librarian on duty immediately stepped forward and said, "Director Lin, the exam time hasn't even passed an hour yet, and a student in the exam hall says he wants to hand in his paper early. This is really against the rules! It's a complete waste of your hard work preparing the questions!"

The librarian had been watching Fang Yuan reading on the bookshelf just now, and he felt that he couldn't stand it.

Now that Director Lin had appeared, he naturally wanted to add fuel to the fire.

"Do we allow handing in exam papers in advance?"

"Well... we do."

"Then it's not against the rules."

"But the questions were designed by you after several months of planning. How can it be ruined like this?"

"The exam papers are designed for people."

Director Lin Bai looked in Fang Yuan's direction. "As for how it was done, we'll have to take a look to find out."

The director walked over and took the paper.

Although the exam paper was densely written, Fang Yuan's handwriting was neat and easy to read.

Lin Bai nodded slightly as he was reading the exam paper.

He took out his gold-rimmed glasses and went through the short answers.

An old face that had always been as cold as a glacier suddenly smiled, as if a spring breeze was blowing on his face:

"Wonderful, wonderful... It's so wonderful!"

Lin Bai looked at one of the fill-in-the-blank questions, "The forty-two subspecies of the light butterfly are the results of the research published by my friend, Dr. Fu Cauna, after more than 30 years of field research. They were only mentioned in the book 'Butterfly-Type Pet and Its Mutation Characteristics', and this book has been out of print for more than ten years. It seems that you have read the book very carefully. It's not easy at such a young age. It's not easy at all."

"And here,"

Lin Bai pointed to a short-answer question on the paper, "in conventional pharmaceutics, the preparation method of antidotes, in addition to the traditional sixteen basic preparation methods, you can actually write out the seventeenth method. It's really surprising."

2

"What? The seventeenth preparation method?"

1

The crowd was in an uproar. The sixteen preparation methods of antidotes were common knowledge that was rooted in the bottom of everyone's hearts.

When did the seventeenth one appear?

One had to know that the more basic the medicine was, the more in-depth everyone's research would be.

After the arrival of the era of pet beasts, almost all the plants in the world that could be used to make antidotes had been tried.

Why did the seventeenth type suddenly appear?

The librarian's face was flushed red as he said, "I'm afraid that this kid is spouting nonsense and grandstanding..."

"I think you're the one grandstanding!"

Lin Bai glared at him fiercely. "Didn't you guys see the latest paper published by Professor Yu Zhen in the 'New Wave of Pet Beasts' the day before yesterday? The method to make the seventeenth type of antidotes had already been developed. It's just that it's still under clinical safety testing and hasn't been released to the public yet. It doesn't matter if other people don't know, but you're in the industry and can't even receive first-line information in time. Don't you feel ashamed? You guys aren't as sensitive to changes in the academic world as a young man who's still in school."

He had just casually glanced at a few questions.

Now, Lin Bai found a chair to sit down and began to read the paper.

The red symbol indicated that it was correct, and it kept appearing in the paper.

"He actually... answered all of them, and all of them were correct?"

"Doesn't Fang Yuan usually not read books? He even asked someone for the way to the library just now!"

"You don't understand this. The top students say that they don't study, but in reality, they are all secretly hiding in the dark and studying all night. Unlike you guys, who say that you study, but in reality, you guys cover yourselves in the blankets and sleep!"

Lin Bai took off his glasses and put down the test paper. "Student Fang Yuan passed with full marks. Today, we will give him the permission to go to the restricted book area."

The librarian was hesitating, "But... director, Fang Yuan did not pass the normal registration process to participate in the qualification assessment. There has never been such a precedent before."

"If there is no precedent, then this precedent will be set now."

Lin Bai said determinedly, "A good academic seedling like Fang Yuan must be given the best teaching resources."
