Ch59.2 - Panda Gungun Takes a Placement Exam

translator: Chestnutwhale

Lu Xiaoqi stared silently at the little panda.

Lu Xiaoqi helplessly waved his hand at Mo Gungun, who was blatantly cheating with an air of righteousness. “Don’t stress about the test, it’s okay as long as you’re happy.”

Lu Xiaoqi wasn’t particularly concerned as to whether or not the little guy learned something. He simply wanted him to learn more about the world, so that in the future, the other wouldn’t regret leaving his home and following him here.

Mo Gungun said, “Okay!”

The principal, who was listening nearby, had a face full of black lines. Unrestrainedly saying, “as long as you’re happy” in front of the principal and teachers, was this really okay?

If the parent is so indulgent, how could the child possibly succeed?

Though he was swearing in his heart, the principal did not let it show on his face, laughing heartily like a grandfather next door.

Mo Gungun let out a breath. This the first step of his journey, and the Big Monster will definitely praise him.

Lu Xiaoqi’s heart hurt. “If you don’t like it, we can choose to not take the test?”

Mo Gungun shook his head. “I’ll do it.”

Principal: “…………”

Oi, this parent, it doesn’t matter if he’s the admiral, this is a school! They couldn’t have this kind of bear parent!

Lu Xiaoqi thought for two seconds, then lightly stroked the youth’s head. It was only then that he turned to face the principal, saying “Then go and administer the test, ba.”

The admiral’s faze was a little sharp, making the principal a little startled.

Lu Xiaoqi lowered his head, thinking. He didn’t know if after the panda had satisfied his desires, whether or not he would regret leaving the island behind.

Principal: “…………” Can you please retrieve that gloomy and unsatisfied gaze!

The principal raised his hands in defeat. This was a normal physical examination, they aren’t going to do anything to Student Mo.

Xiao Wen and the other fierce ghosts couldn’t help but cover their mouths. They didn’t expect that the principal was this kind of slow person, dragging things on and on.

Sitting in the single person exam room, Mo Gungun picked up his pen, holding it with perfect posture, but not a word could be recalled.

For a panda who had been learning about the interstellar world for less than a month, just being able to answer was already very incredible.

For him to write beautiful and flowing characters, that was simply impossible.

The first question was a math question. Mo Gungun frowned, and simply gazed at it for some time. To be honest, he often still counted with his paws.

Regarding this type of question, the little panda cub still didn’t fully understand it.

Looking at the youth through the screen, the principal’s face was a bit ugly. Usually the first question was the easiest.

The principal tried to secretly observe Lu Xiaoqi’s expression, only to find that the other was staring intensely at him.

The principal shook his head. He was absolutely spoiled by this parent!

His foundation was really too bad. Thinking this, the principal sighed, and looked at the screen. He received a shock. The youth’s wrinkled expression suddenly straightened out, and began to quickly answer the questions. If not for his difficulty writing, he might even have finished half the questions.

Upon seeing such a situation, Lu Xiaoqi couldn’t help smiling angrily.

However, this was a test taking ability unique to the little rascal, so Lu Xiaoqi decided to let it go.

Mo Gungun’s demonic friend group was very powerful. Their intelligence wasn’t low, and there were a lot of knowledgeable fierce ghosts. Upon realizing that their boss didn’t know how to write some characters, they would guide his hands and write.

Mo Gungun took the test. However, other than the second question, he was like a puppet controlled by strings for the rest.

“Boss, for this question choose the third option. Check the box next to the third option.”

“The third one is correct.”

“Listen to me, the question mainly askes about major events in the conflict. Whenever such a subject appears on a history test, you should always take this approach…”

There were some fierce ghosts standing by the side, and others who came to help answer. There was even a former history professor who floated to Mo Gungun’s side and lectured him on how to solve one of the questions.

Having finished the exam, Mo Gungun felt that his head had been filled with a lot of new knowledge.

Wu Da and Wu Er exchanged a glance.

Wu Er made a face. “There are quite a lot of these ugly creatures.”

Wu Da nodded thoughtfully.

Wu Da’s expression was solemn. “So this is the cause of their prosperity?”

Wu Er was dumbfounded.

To reflect the financial power of the university, the test was to be administered on paper rather than the standard online format.

The instructor who was specifically in charge of grading the papers reviewed it quickly. The results could be said to be exceptional.

Looking at the dazed youth as he walked out, Lu Xiaoqi smiled as he walked up to him, tapping him on the nose. “Did you know how to do it?”

Mo Gungun’s mind suddenly cleared, his cheeks tinging a bright red. “Wu.”

Xiao Wen and the other fierce ghosts drifted behind, still complaining about the incomplete questions, completely ignoring the fact that they’d cheated.

The principal coughed lightly, also a little shocked.

These questions had been written by instructors from a variety of disciplines, and it could be said that the test covered a wide range of topics. However, no one could have predicted that this youth with incredibly atrocious handwriting would understand all of it.

It seems that the admiral’s earlier worries about Mo Gungun not being able to write well was necessary.

That is to say, it wasn’t too bad for the admiral to spoil the child.

Unexpectedly having received such a gifted student, the principal was delighted. His former disappointed mood disappeared, and instead he started praising Mo Gungun.

Hearing his family’s Gungun being praised, Lu Xiaoqi was in a good mood and gazed at the principal with eyes that were a bit friendlier.

As for Mo Gungun, he scratched his face a bit, ashamed.

Next, Mo Gungun’s physical abilities were tested.

Lu Xiaoqi’s face was apathetic, but inside, he was worried. The panda cub was delicate and sensitive.

Mo Gungun didn’t know what the big monster was worried about, he was still listening to the instructions.

The instructor was very professional. Mo Gungun was bewildered, and became even more confused. He looked to Lu Xiaoqi, his gaze pleading.

Xiao Wen said, “Just hit the circle as hard as you can, boss. You won’t have to pay even if you break it.”

Just as the instructor got ready to repeat himself, Lu Xiaoqi stepped forward and punched the strength measurer.

Ding.

70,000. Displayed on the screen were five terrible digits. The score for normal interstellar people was between 4,000 and 9,000, so getting five digits could already be considered excellent, yet Lu Xiaoqi had broken the interstellar record.

Everyone was stunned.

Before, the record in the interstellar universe had been 59,204 points, but now, it suddenly increased by over 10,000 points!

In fact, after having experienced life and death scenarios, Lu Xiaoqi felt that he had grown even stronger, so he’d reduced his strength by two-thirds.

He squinted at the screen.

Looking down at his fist, he really was getting stronger, and his physical score was increasing. It seems it hadn’t been an illusion.

If he exerted his full power, he estimated that the score would reach over 200,000.

Lu Xiaoqi thought for a bit, then looked at Mo Gungun, “Just copy what I did.”

Mo Gungun nodded. He wasn’t very clear as to what the number meant, but looking at the crowd’s expressions, it seemed to be very powerful.

Mo Gungun lifted his head, wholly confident. He wanted to be just as strong as the big monster!

With that in mind, Mo Gungun stretched out a slender arm.

He took a deep breath, and mimicking the big monster’s posture, hit it hard.

Ding.

23,148. This score made those on the scene quiet again.

The principal was stunned.

For such a young student, this score was really too scary.

Back then, when Lu Xiaoqi was at this age, he’d also been at a similar level. Now, Lu Xiaoqi had a score of 70,000. Didn’t this mean that their school would soon see a second interstellar talent?

The principal became happier the longer he thought about it. Sucking in a breath, he felt as though a pie had fallen from the sky.

As a matter of a fact, pandas are very strong. As they grow increasingly older, their talents also become increasingly outstanding. But in Mo Gungun’s previous world, he hadn’t been very old nor did he have anyone to teach him. As a result, his temperament became very timid, caused by the psychological shadow of the original world.

Due to this, even Lu Xiaoqi had not anticipated that the little panda cub would be so strong.

Mo Gungun stretched out his fingers and counted for a bit. Suddenly, his eyes turned watery as he sadly gazed at the big monster, his mouth twitching as though he was about to cry.

Lu Xiaoqi’s pupils shrank, hurrying over to hug the other. “What’s the matter? Does it hurt?”

Mo Gungun shook his head, the rims of his eyes red from frustration. His hands were a little red, but other than that, there were no visible wounds.

Lu Xiaoqi became worried.

Mo Gungun’s voice was distraught. “So little, the big monster is really powerful, but I… wu…”

As he spoke the panda cub choked.

Lu Xiaoqi was startled.

Xiao Wen and the other fierce ghosts: “…………”

The principal who was stunned by the results: “…………”

Everyone at the scene: “…………”

The principal took a deep breath, feeling as though his earlier excitement had been fed to a dog. If such a result could be considered highly unsatisfactory, the other geniuses at their school would not be able to endure it.

Lu Xiaoqi smiled, patting the panda’s head. “It’s already very good.”

Mo Gungun lowered his gaze, and feeling a bit lost, shook his head.

Lu Xiaoqi said, “when I entered the school, my score was lower than yours.” The fact that he’d skipped a few grades was irrelevant.

Mo Gungun blinked, raising his head with a surprised expression. “Really?”

Lu Xiaoqi solemnly nodded.

His basic knowledge was very good, his physical ability was excellent. If his spiritual power was passable, then he could be considered a natural born genius!

Thinking this, the principal wanted to get Mo Gungun’s test results as soon as possible.

The spiritual power test required one to wear a helmet, and click on the bright spots. Everything went well at the beginning. However, when the light spots appeared, Mo Gungun could only stare at them in a daze. These spots looked exactly like the panda ancestors, making him unable to continue.

The principal and instructors had a strange expression on their faces as they looked at each other.

Seeing Mo Gungun rapidly blink his eyes, trying to stop himself from crying, Lu Xiaoqi’s heart felt as though it had taken a critical hit.

Lu Xiaoqi directly disconnected the test, pulling the helmet off the youth’s head. He wrapped the other in a tight embrace, gently patting his back.

The two embraced for quite some time, until Mo Gungun’s mood gradually recovered.

The principal hesitated.

Lu Xiaoqi turned his head. “He won’t be taking this test.”

The principal’s eyes widened.

Lu Xiao Qi pulled Mo Gungun. “Tomorrow, he’ll formally attend class. I’ll take him back first.”

The principal and the other instructors were in a daze. The test ended just like that? How could they stop testing ah, ah, ah! Seeing that a genius was about to emerge, the admiral came to take him back!

As for Lu Xiaoqi’s reasons for not testing…..

Lu Xiaoqi gently touched his eyes, then lowered his gaze. “No need.”
