Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 414 - 277 Shen Zhiqiao was stunned..._3

After hanging up the phone, she realized that in just a short while, Yang Qiange had sent her over a dozen messages.

But she wasn’t in the mood to look at them any further, she sat back down at her desk, turned on her computer, and downloaded the test questions her brother had sent.

What surprised her was that her brother really said that the test was from previous years’ written exams, but she had never seen it before.

She had clearly done all the papers from previous years...

Furthermore, there were no years marked on the test paper title, and the layout was different from the practice tests she had done before.

No wonder her brother said this one was different...

It might have been one of those papers that got axed and were never made public...

Shen Zhiqiao glanced over the questions, finding the difficulty of this test genuinely significant.

It was more difficult than any test she had taken before.

In her first blind attempt, without even finishing all questions, she was already faced with several that she couldn’t be certain about.

Shen Zhiqiao always approached test-taking with composure, but this time, she broke out in a fine sweat on her forehead...

**

In the days leading up to the exam, Shen Zhiqiao didn’t do any other tests but focused solely on the one her brother gave her.

She went to the library and looked through numerous materials and was only able to find answers to some of the toughest questions the day before the exam, finally managing to thoroughly understand the entire test paper.

On the day of the exam, she headed to the test venue from the Shen Family’s home, with the driver driving while Shen Zhixi sat with her in the back seat.

After delivering his sister to the test site, Shen Zhixi didn’t get out of the car.

His leg was inconvenient.

The rear window was cautiously lowered by a quarter, and just as Shen Zhiqiao got out of the car, she looked back inside, "Brother, is there anything else?"

Shen Zhixi slowly closed the contract in his hand and confirmed again, "The test I gave you, have you mastered it all?"

Shen Zhiqiao smiled confidently, "Yes, I’ve got it, although the Academy of Sciences’s written exam every year is not particularly difficult, so the advanced concepts in the test may not be useful during the exam, but I’ve truly learned a lot. Thank you, brother."

Shen Zhixi’s lips curled up enigmatically, "That’s good..."

The test was held in the quiet backyard of the Academy of Sciences, which was suitable for written exams.

In the waiting hall, professors were busy exchanging admission slips for their students, and the 15 ’Pride of Heaven’ gathered once again.

Because of the last experimental assessment, the students already knew each other, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

Xia Ye, due to her exceptional performance last time, was now approached by several students wanting to speak with her.

After the students had greeted and left, Shen Zhiqiao approached.

With underlying sarcasm, she arrogantly stated, "Xia Ye, I hope this time... you can take the exam on your own strength. Humans act, heaven watches, I don’t mind, but it’s not very fair to other examinees..."

She meant for her words to unsettle Xia Ye, expecting her to be nervous, but Xia Ye was composed and seated upright, certainly not flustered.

On the contrary, she looked leisurely at Shen Zhiqiao, a flicker of craftiness in her eyes, "Senior sister seems to have quite the animosity towards me, is it because in the last experimental assessment... I ranked ahead of you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Shen Zhiqiao had intended to ridicule Xia Ye but was instead outmaneuvered.

"Yeye, Qiaoqiao, what are you talking about?" Professor Fan returned after helping them exchange their admission slips, only to find their atmosphere was not very pleasant.

Steadying her emotions, Shen Zhiqiao responded with a cool face, "Nothing much, just checking how the junior prepared."

She wasn’t about to lose her composure over someone who took shortcuts without principles.

At 8:55, five minutes before the start of the exam, students entered the test hall with their admission slips.

The exam took place in a computer lab, with each student using an individual computer, and the answers were submitted electronically as well.

Once they finished the questions, the scores would be available immediately.

In the vast computer lab, the 15 students were spaced out generously, essentially one person per row, each focusing on the computer in front of them.

Soon, the moment it turned 9 o’clock, the exam system refreshed.

Seconds later, the test questions appeared on each student’s computer screen.

Sitting right behind Xia Ye in the next row, Shen Zhiqiao didn’t rush to look at the questions, but instead shot a glance towards Xia Ye.

Seeing that Xia Ye was still ironically taking the examination seriously.

Shen Zhiqiao snorted with laughter.

It seems she was acting so convincingly for fear of raising the examiner’s suspicions.

She truly deserved an award for best actress.

The other examinees also began to earnestly tackle the questions, and only then did Shen Zhiqiao redirect her gaze back to her own computer screen.

But as she observed, Shen Zhiqiao, who was initially calm and collected, gradually started to look troubled.

The first question...

The second question...

The third question...

...

How come they’re all exactly the same as the test paper her brother sent to her??!
