Chapter 1355: Chapter 1355: Two Exam Papers
"It’s quite simple, really," Lin Tian said nonchalantly. This difficulty level of the exam was almost trivial for him; it only scratched the surface.
"How did you answer it?" Liou Qingcheng was getting more and more curious.
"I just scribbled some answers..." Lin Tian, having a good memory, recited his answers once again. This was also an opportunity to compare answers with Liou Qingcheng and gauge the results.
But after hearing Lin Tian’s recount, Liou Qingcheng was speechless, staring at Lin Tian as if looking at a monster.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Tian’s expression turned puzzled.
"Do you know that what you wrote is completely different from what I learned?"
Lin Tian was even more baffled, "What do you mean?"
"Well, I mean most of what you wrote I’ve hardly heard of, and it’s miles away from the standard answers. I feel your score might be very low," Liou Qingcheng said seriously.
Lin Tian laughed it off, not taking it seriously at all.
Liou Qingcheng frowned, "Why are you still laughing? You’re going to fail and have to retake it next semester."
"What was the course we just took?"
"Pharmacology."
"Exactly, pharmacology. In a way, there’s no absolute correct answer. Are my prescriptions completely wrong?" Lin Tian questioned.
"..." Liou Qingcheng truly couldn’t refute this. Because she couldn’t be sure if Lin Tian’s answers were wrong either.
...
Not only could Liou Qingcheng not be sure, but even Yang Wei and Hu Gaofei (the proctor) couldn’t be sure, as they had never encountered such answers in all their years of teaching. They were just too bizarre.
It could very well have been random scribbling to fill in and get pity points!
Hu Gaofei was the professor of pharmacology. When he first saw Lin Tian’s test paper, he intended to catch any cheating but hadn’t expected to be so captivated by the content at just a glance, even behaving rudely—flipping through the student’s test paper during the exam.
After reading it, Hu Gaofei returned to his seat and started pondering. He thought deeply about the content on Lin Tian’s test, constantly evaluating its authenticity and feasibility in his mind.
He even pondered, how should such a test paper be graded?
But the more he thought about it, the more engrossed he became, as if discovering a new continent filled with wonder. Because through thinking, he was able to verify in his mind that Lin Tian’s wildly imaginative answers were actually correct, and if these answers were written up and published, it might stir quite a wave in the medical field.
Once all the exam papers were turned in, Hu Gaofei took the papers directly to his office but distributed all except Lin Tian’s to other teachers for grading.
As for himself, Hu Gaofei made a cup of strong tea and sat at his desk, reviewing Lin Tian’s test paper over and over again, as if every word was a potential treasure to uncover.
Not long after, suddenly a female teacher holding a test paper approached Hu Gaofei, saying, "Mr. Hu, please take a look at this paper..."
The female teacher wore a slightly embarrassed expression because she too couldn’t determine whether the answers on her test paper were correct.
With his mind entirely on Lin Tian’s test, Hu Gaofei had little interest in dealing with anything else. But with his colleague approaching him with a test paper, he couldn’t ignore it.
Spreading the paper flat on the desk, Hu Gaofei adjusted his glasses and began to browse, while the female teacher stood by, eager to hear the old professor’s perspective.
After looking at it for a while, Hu Gaofei again found himself unable to tear his eyes away, just like before.
This test paper was very similar to the previous one, with answers differing from the textbooks, yet they presented a completely different set of answers.
In other words, the answers on these two papers were two entirely different versions, representing two different pharmacological proof relations.
"Mr. Hu, how would you suggest we grade this paper?" the female teacher urged, as she had been left waiting for quite some time.
Tapping his finger on the desk twice, Hu Gaofei said, "Alright, leave the paper with me; I need to study it further."
The female teacher was momentarily stunned—it’s just a test paper; does it really require such rigorous study? Wasn’t that a bit exaggerated?
But since the old professor had spoken, the female teacher naturally didn’t argue and, saying ’okay’, left feeling frustrated.
She was truly frustrated, having been left in the lurch for so long without hearing anything, only to be dismissed so tersely. But in a way, it was for the best, letting the old professor handle the headache.
After the female teacher left, Hu Gaofei gave the entire test paper another thorough look. Then, he glanced at the class and name written on the test paper: Ancient Medicine Class 42, Li, candidate 14.
Seemingly connecting some dots, Mr. Hu then checked the previous test paper: Ancient Medicine Class 42, Lin Tian, candidate 13.
Ah, they were the two people he had suspected of cheating earlier!
Hu Gaofei had a deep impression of the two because they frequently skipped class quite a bit, and these names were very memorable to Mr. Hu.
It seemed now the two did indeed cheat. Same time, same place, same drastically different style of test papers—if that was merely a coincidence, what else couldn’t be a coincidence?
Upon further study, Hu Gaofei could ascertain that both test papers’ answers were written by that fellow named Lin Tian.
First, Lin Tian’s medical prowess had been verified, as even Zhao Xuefeng claimed he was not as good as Lin Tian.
Second, in Li’s test paper, although most of the answers were correct, a keen eye could still notice some answers simply didn’t hold water! Either they were randomly written or omitted.
The only explanation is that this guy, afraid of being caught cheating, made specific alterations, leading to this awkward situation.
Hu Gaofei couldn’t help but feel both angry and amused.
This student named Li is just playing around!
He cheats, and on top of that, changes the answers to look like this!
This simply gave Mr. Hu a sense of teasing annoyance. As someone obsessed with pharmacology, Mr. Hu was extremely, extremely eager to find out what the correct answers were.
Here was another treasure trove!
...
Putting down the test paper, leaning back in his chair, Hu Gaofei removed his glasses and kneaded the inner side of the Jingming acupoint near his eye corner.
Mr. Hu was in a headache!
In the past, he most hated students cheating, and once caught, they should be dealt with severely. But these two test papers left Mr. Hu in a dilemma.
After pondering deeply, Hu Gaofei took out an old Nokia phone and called Zhao Xuefeng!
