Chapter 2: Are all aliens like this?

The pure white mechanical hatch of the make-up exam room stood before Li Ji. In front of the twenty-meter-high hatch, his body, which was less than two meters tall, appeared so small.

But he still doubted whether the whale-man who had almost trampled him in the corridor could pass through this door without bowing his head.

He looked up to find the source of the light, a bright yet not glaring light that he couldn't find anywhere in the entire corridor.

Everything around was pure white, except for the metal connecting the mechanical hatch and the wall, which was silver.

The tutor hadn't arrived yet, and he and two other classmates who were also taking a make-up exam stood at the door like lackeys.

On the left is a "slender strip". This person's body is a yellow ball with four eyes on it, two large and two small, arranged symmetrically, with the large one at the bottom and the small one at the top.

Its round mouth at the bottom, like a starfish, allows it to swallow.

It's said that this guy's penis is an organ that goes in and out.

The reason his classmates called him "Slender" was because his two legs were thin and long, like spaghetti, so thin that they looked like they would break if you poked them lightly. His two legs were more than two meters long, and he was taller than Li Ji just by his legs.

Her arms were also long and slender, hanging down to extend past her knees.

His four slender eyes glanced downwards, meeting Li Jiqi's gaze, before he disdainfully turned his head away.

"I am an excellent student, and I often rank at the top in theoretical exams. My rival should be a good student like the class monitor, Dailulu."

"Now I've been reduced to having to retake the exam with 'Jelly who skipped class' and the bottom student. It's shameful."

"I don't understand why Earth Science majors have to take practical exams."

"If you must conduct in-depth research on Earth, can't you just sit in your office and do academic research?"

"Does that mean you can't study Earth if you've never been there?"

Lee Ki awkwardly turned his eyes to the other side, because he could hear the thin, elongated thought clearly.

The slender, elongated creatures belong to the Didili aliens, whose primary mode of communication is brainwaves.

Therefore, all his thoughts were just transmitted in the form of brainwaves, and it is estimated that the people at the other end of the corridor heard them.

To Lee Ki's right is a small land shark, which is a shark with four legs, light blue skin, and about the size of a husky.

In fact, their behaviors are quite similar.

Land Shark Baby was standing on all fours with a big red tongue sticking out from between its serrated teeth, panting heavily.

His two black eyes darted left and right, as if he were preoccupied with something.

Sha Bao anxiously scratched his face with his right hind leg.

Like a dog.

He asked Li Ji in a panic, "Li Ji, do you think we can pass the exam?"

Li Ji stretched out his tentacles and stroked Shark Baby's smooth back.

"No problem, Shark. You'll definitely pass. Teachers usually go easy on these kinds of make-up exams. By the way, what exactly is on this make-up exam?"

Shark Baby completely ignored his question and panicked on her own.

"Dailulu said that if we don't pass the exam, we'll all be expelled?"

Li Ji's eyelids closed slightly, and his speech quickened: "Don't listen to that catwoman's alarmist talk. Tell me first what's on this exam?"

“If we get fired, we’ll have to go collect scrap metal in the K768 Nebula. I don’t want to go collect scrap metal.”

Li Ji lost his patience completely and shouted, "Tell me what the exam is about first!"

Shark was completely immersed in its own world of despair, its shark head pressed against the floor, tears welling in its eyes.

"My mom would be sad if I went to collect recyclables. Besides, space debris is toxic, and I would be poisoned to death."

"But at least you're with me. Thinking about that makes me feel a little less sad."

"We'll go collect recyclables together, right?"

Li Ji found it hard to believe that what was in front of him was an intelligent life form that could join the interstellar alliance, while humans were classified as savage beings.

How exactly did he get into university?

Its slender, four-eyed gaze swept arrogantly upwards, its bamboo-like arms crossed in front of its face.

"These two are a blasphemy against geoscience."

"Especially this jelly, he didn't even know that the make-up exam would include a test on Earth human behavior. Why didn't he just forget about the exam time as well?"

Li Ji reached out a tentacle and gently poked the other person's knee, saying apologetically, "Actually, I did forget the exam time. What exactly is this Earth human behavior test you mentioned?"

Can you hear my thoughts?

His long, narrow eyes were wide open.

Lee Ki looked at the other person as if he were a fool.

"Friend, you are a being that communicates via brainwaves; I can hear whatever you're thinking."

Shark Baby raised its head: "Me too!"

A pineapple-shaped haircut popped out from the end of the corridor: "Me too!"

A whale-man emerged from behind the pineapple-headed man, crouching low: "Me too!"

His slender hands suddenly went limp and hung loosely over his knees.

All four eyes rolled upwards, revealing the whites of their eyes.

"what happened to him?"

"Activate the defense mechanism, empty your mind, simply put, fall asleep."

"I'll try too."

There was a bang.

Shark lay on the ground, its big red tongue hanging out, drooling incessantly, its black eyes rolling upwards, and its eyelids blinking incessantly.

"Li Ji, am I asleep?"

Li Ji sighed and let out a sharp whistle.

He wailed inwardly.

"Is this an alien?"

"In what way are we humans inferior to these kinds of people?"

"How did you develop an interstellar civilization?"

The two guys next to me are unlikely to tell me the exam content, so I can only deduce it myself.

Li Ji stroked his pointed beak with his tentacle, deep in thought. "The Earth Human Behavior Test, as the name suggests, should test whether students possess the abilities of Earth humans."

What kind of questions will be on the test?

"After all, it's an exam at an alien university, so it's bound to be tough."

"Could it be that they judge emotions through micro-expressions?"

"This seems to be a possible direction. Even normal humans might not be able to answer this kind of question well. Not everyone has the emotional intelligence to judge other people's expressions."

"Or perhaps an emotional test?"

"Test takers need to make various responses in different situations, and there is a way to measure the ratio of emotion to rationality in their test responses. Different organisms have different levels of emotionality."

Although I am an Earthling, I shouldn't be stumped by Earthling behavior tests.

But the question setters aren't from Earth, so who knows what kind of crazy things they might do?

I once spent two hours searching for a bicycle during the Steam login verification process!
If AI is this monstrous, what about these mentally unstable aliens?

As he was pondering, a faint sound came from the end of the corridor, like the sound of silk rubbing against the ground.

The black cloak rustled against the pure white metal floor.

A fantastical fragrance filled the air.

Looking back on all the flavors he had experienced in his life, Li Ji could not find a similar one to describe them.

He just felt that if dreams had a taste, it must taste like this.

Wrapped in the cloak was a young woman in blue, who, by Earthling standards, would be considered a great beauty.

Hands are hands, heads are heads, and faces are faces.

Even though he's dressed in blue, he still looks somewhat approachable.

This person is a professor in the Department of Earth Sciences, specializing in Earth Anthropology, and is also the tutor for this course's make-up exam—Professor Lililaria.

Just like how your English teacher in school always referred to themselves by their English name.

Professor Lilila also preferred that her students call her by her earthly name—Wilde.

She said the name is fluent in all languages ​​around the world.

Professor Wilde was a gaseous life form, without gender, and could change his appearance at will.

But she prefers a feminine appearance and a masculine name.

The strange fragrance that Li Ji had just smelled was the gas that the professor released to propel himself.

He straightened his eyes; it was the only part of him that he could straighten to show respect.

"Good morning, Professor!"

Oscar Wilde completely ignored Li Ji's greeting, didn't even glance at them, and floated straight into the make-up exam room.

She slipped through the crack in the tightly sealed door, leaving her black cloak outside.

The make-up exam room was a huge, pure white cube, completely empty.

Oscar Wilde floated to the center of the classroom, and a square pillar rose from the floor.

The pillars are covered with buttons of various colors.

Oscar Wilde pressed the blue button, and the entire classroom was plunged into darkness.

A holographic image was projected from the top of the four pillars, but the image was blurry and the other party's appearance was unclear.

Oscar Wilde's handsome face was framed by a captivating smile, the angle so natural and flawless that he looked like a completely human being.

She greeted me in an almost fawning tone: "Hello, Judge No. 00427, I am Professor Lili Laria. I am very happy that you can participate in guiding this make-up exam for the Earth Human Behavior Test."

"I'm so sorry to trouble you with such a trivial exam."

A deep, almost cold voice came from the video.

"No need for formalities, Professor Lilialia."

"I was just fulfilling my duties as an education investigation committee member."

"This is not a trivial make-up exam. The process of this exam is about how we judge the necessity of the discipline of Earth science."

"Although I personally believe that such a discipline is completely unnecessary."

"I hope you and your students can convince me with your actions."

Oscar Wilde clasped his hands together in front of his chest and smiled, “Of course, they are all the best students.”

"May I ask what the judging criteria were this time?"

The judge coldly replied, "That's too presumptuous. I refuse to answer."

"It's almost time, let's get started."

"Otherwise, I would think you lack basic education."

"Let's begin!"

Oscar Wilde quickly pressed the button next to him.

A straight crack appeared in the middle of the massive white wall, which slowly opened to both sides.

"Children, come in!"

Hearing his teacher's call, Li Ji perked up, propped himself up with his six tentacles, and prepared to go inside.

The middle eyeball looked into the classroom, while the other two eyeballs looked to the left and right of the two idiots beside it.

"Exam time!"

"Snapped!"

The jelly-like tentacles slapped the shark's face.

Shark Baby sprang two meters into the air, landing steadily on all fours. His lips curled up, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and his red tongue dangled out as he gave Li Ji a stiff, silly grin. But his body trembled uncontrollably with nervousness.

"Snapped!"

Jelly-like tentacles lashed out at the long, thin noodle-like legs.

His leg wasn't as fragile as it looked; it wasn't broken at all, he just had to kneel down.

The four eyes rolled back.

The three of them stood together in the empty classroom.
