I Can Level Up By Staying Idle Novel - Chapter 106

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Time passed quickly.

Unknowingly, it was June 6th, the night before the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination.

That night, as the sun set and night fell, the entire Haicheng City was suddenly suffocating.

No cars on the road honked anymore, and there was no dancing aunt in the square.

Everyone was making way for the upcoming Martial Arts College Entrance Examination!

!!

The martial arts college entrance examination every year was held on the seventh and eighth of June. There were a total of four subjects. The full score for each was 150 points, with a total of 600 points.

Among them, the first three exams were fixed every year. They were: combat technique, punching force test, and foundation test.

However, the fourth exam was random. Only two hours before the afternoon of June 8th would the examination be announced.

All the exams were done on the spot and synchronized with the entire Xia country.

Even the Xia country’s Genius List would be updated at the same time as the college entrance examination results. When the martial arts college entrance examination came to an end, the rankings would finally be decided!

Therefore, many geniuses on the Genius List could clearly enter the top universities without taking the exam. However, in order to show their strength, they would still participate in the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination as a form of fun.

… .

That night, of course, the prep class was not open.

After all, no matter how much one prepared at the last minute, the most important thing on the night before the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination was to adjust one’s body to its best state.

As long as one was in good condition, he was very likely to get an extra point or two in the exam.

In this examination that all third-year martial arts students in Xia country were participating in, as long as one obtained one more point, their score would exceed tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people!

There were even some students who had an epiphany and broken through as soon as their condition improved!

There was no one in the prep class, so Lin Mo had no choice but to return home early. To his surprise, his parents specially waited for him in the living room today. Clearly, they had something to say.

“The martial arts college entrance examination is tomorrow. Are you under a lot of pressure?” Mr. Lin took a puff of his cigarette and asked casually.

“Not a lot!” Lin Mo said honestly.

With his strength, it was really difficult for him to feel any pressure taking the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination.

When others participated in the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination, they would be fighting the biggest boss in their lives. They would definitely be facing a great enemy!

As for Lin Mo, taking the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination was like fighting a small monster with an invincible posture!

There was only one problem that Lin Mo needed to consider, which was—how many points could he surpass the “historical record of the martial arts college entrance examination”?

What if he casually exceeded 50 points?

Or would he surpass some hundred or eighty points?

As for the pressure… did it have anything to do with Lin Mo?

“Not a lot?” Her parents couldn’t help but look at each other.

Lin Mo’s answer clearly exceeded their expectations.

“Ahem!” Mr. Lin pretended to choke on his cigarette and coughed dryly. “If you’re feeling pressured, don’t hold it in and vent it out as much as possible! Dad and Mom can understand you!”

“There’s really no pressure!” Lin Mo confessed.

He really didn’t have any pressure! He couldn’t make up some pressure to coax his parents, right?

“Alright then…” Mr. Lin could only say,” You’ve eaten dinner, right? Then go back to your room early and sleep! ”

“Yes! Okay!” Lin Mo thought for a moment and said, “Dad, Mom, will you come and watch my college entrance examination tomorrow?”

Lin Mo had been hiding his strength for half a month! It was time to surprise everyone during the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination tomorrow!

If his parents were present, he could shock them immediately!

“We…” Mr. Lin hesitated for a moment before saying,” Let’s not go! I don’t want to put any pressure on you! ”

“Then… alright!” Although Lin Mo was a little disappointed, he looked forward to seeing his parents’ expressions when they found out about his results later.

Tomorrow, I’m going to make my mother shocked for the rest of the year!

Lin Mo thought with amusement as he walked into his room.

After Lin Mo closed the door.

His parents’ faces were instantly filled with worry.

Mr. Lin frowned and took a deep puff of his cigarette to vent the emotions he did not dare to show in front of his son. Then, he said solemnly, “It hasn’t been easy for the child!”

“Isn’t that so?” Mrs. Lin was about to wipe her tears. “In the past half a month, he’s worked so hard! He only comes home late every day and his body has gained weight from ‘overworking’! I really see it with my eyes and it hurts in my heart!”

“Let’s not talk about this anymore!” Mr. Lin sighed heavily and said, “I also heard that he goes to the city gym every night! So that he can freeload a little class outside the expensive prep class!”

“Quick, pass me the tissue!”

… .

In the room.

Lin Mo, who was only one door away, did not expect his parents to be so imaginative!

He took a volume from his tote bag.

This was sent by the Xia country’s Martial Arts Administration. In this year’s “Martial Arts Higher Education Examination Manual”, it talked about some details and things to pay attention to.

Lin Mo opened the book and read.

“Oh?”

On the first page, Lin Mo saw several important changes in this year’s college entrance examination.

“The overall difficulty of this year’s martial arts college entrance examination will increase greatly?” Lin Mo was stunned and even a little dumbfounded.

“Holy sh*t!!”

‘Isn’t that the rumor I made up more than ten days ago?’

Relying on this rumor and the assistance of Gao Haoran and the other “leakers”, it directly triggered a crazy involution in the entire school and even the city!

As the instigator, Lin Mo had benefited a lot from this!

For this reason, Lin Mo actually felt a little guilty these two days. After all… he had just started a rumor, but his classmates were all exhausted from cultivating!

Unexpectedly, Lin Mo’s words came true!

The difficulty of the martial arts college entrance examination really increased!

“How do I put this…” Lin Mo blinked his big eyes.

He estimated that there were probably many people in Haicheng City thanking him crazily!

Lin Mo was right!

When all the third-year martial arts students in Haicheng City opened the “Martial Arts Higher Examination Manual”, they immediately worshiped Lin Mo to the extreme.

“I worship the Mo supreme-ruler! It’s all thanks to him that I made up my mind and got my family to borrow money and get me an A1 evolution potion! It was worth it!”

“Isn’t Lin Mo too well-informed?”

“Isn’t that so? He actually leaked something that even the Martial Arts Department of Haicheng City doesn’t know!”

“Who said that the Haicheng Martial Arts Department doesn’t know? Didn’t I say so long ago? My father is friends with Chief Zhao Xu of the Martial Arts Department. I’ve long heard from Chief Zhao himself that the cutoff score for this year’s martial arts college entrance examination will increase greatly!”

“Keep bragging, upstairs!”

“I’m Zhao Xu. I didn’t say anything!” Chief Zhao really came out on his verified social media account to refute the rumors.

This time, Haicheng City worshiped Lin Mo even more!

“Brother Mo is so ruthless!”

“No wonder Lin Mo suddenly chose to lie idle and give up on the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination! It looks like he really learned in advance that the difficulty of the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination had increased greatly, so he became disheartened!”

… .

Lin Mo did not pay attention to the voices worshipping him online.

He returned to the martial arts exam manual.

“This year’s martial arts college entrance examination is still in the ‘3+1’ mode. There are three fixed examination items and a random examination item. However… on the whole, it will focus more on the assessment of ‘combat technique’!” Lin Mo couldn’t help but be secretly shocked.

More focused on assessing combat technique?

Wouldn’t that mean that the scores for the “combat technique” class would become even more difficult?

“I reckon that this year, the national average of combat technique will fall very badly!” Lin Mo guessed.

He opened the detailed explanation of the “combat technique” score again.

[Exam Item: Combat Technique

Full marks: 150 points

Full marks standard: Fifth rank in combat technique

140 point cutoff: Combat Technique Peak Rank Four

130 point cutoff: Combat Technique Late Rank Four

120 point cutoff: Combat Technique Mid Rank Four

110 point cutoff: Combat Technique Early Rank Four

* * *

“Full marks of 150 points, but only 110 points for an early-stage rank 4?”

In the past years, combat technique was a key event to achieve high scores! But this year, there were probably only 20 to 30 people in the entire Xia country who could get more than 110 points.

Apart from Lin Mo, there was probably only one other person who could get more than 120 points, Ye Yi.

Lin Mo was more ruthless—

“Full marks is for my combat technique to reach rank 5? Then wouldn’t I be 20 to 30 points higher than the top geniuses in the entire Xia country just from this alone?”

If it weren’t for the assessment focused on “combat technique” this year, Lin Mo wouldn’t have been able to pull away from such a huge gap in the first exam. For example, Ye Yi might have gotten more than 130 points in the previous years.

But this year, after the first “combat technique” test tomorrow morning, Lin Mo had already won.

Apart from the “greatly increased difficulty of the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination” and the “focused combat technique assessment”, there were not many other changes in this year’s Martial Arts College Entrance Examination.

Lin Mo casually flipped through the “Martial Arts Higher Examination Manual” and closed it. After all, it was just an instruction manual and there was nothing much to read. The only thing that could determine the college entrance examination results was his own strength!

“With my current strength…”

Lin Mo called out the data panel in his mind.
