Ichinose, you will regret it.

Uesugi Gen turned around, stood up and opened the door.

Chapter 84 Liar Game.

"How is it? Aside from the groups, the content is exactly the same."

Gen Uesugi looked at Ryuji Kanzaki, who had been listening to the recording all night and now looked like a giant panda possessed, and laughed loudly.

"Ha~ You guys are such a heartless bunch."

Kanzaki Ryuji yawned loudly.

"Just like you said, the content is exactly the same except for the group. I even suspect she memorized it in advance and just read it out loud when we got there."

At the beginning, the whole dormitory listened to the recording attentively, but when it came to the second one, Uesugi ran off to play games, and then Shibata also slipped away.

Finally, after listening to six identical recordings, Hamaguchi could no longer hold on and went to bed, leaving only Kanzaki Ryuji, who was unconvinced and the only reliable one, to listen to all the recordings from beginning to end.

And the most unbearable thing is that these recordings are exactly the same!!

"So why exactly does the school separate students for explanations?"

Shibata Sa, who had no idea what the school's confusing behavior was, said frantically.

Gen Uesugi, who was lying on the bed playing games, replied disapprovingly.

"Perhaps the school arranged this task for them simply because they saw that Teacher Hoshinomiya and the others were drinking instead of doing their work all day."

Ok?

Uesugi Gen's unique sense of relaxation gave Kanzaki Ryuji a sense of déjà vu.

The last time I was in this situation was... on a deserted island... and in the end I was defeated by his dark cuisine.

Thinking of this, Kanzaki Ryuji couldn't help but shudder. He wondered if he would do something fancy again this time...

At this moment, everyone's cell phones rang at the same time.

After careful consideration, you have not been selected for preferential treatment. Please act as a team member and take the exam. The exam will begin at 1:00 PM today. The exam will last for three days. Dragon Team students, please gather in the Dragon Room on the second floor.

"The school really has no vision for not choosing me as a preferential treatment recipient."

Uesugi Gen curled his lips as he looked at the text message on his phone, then turned around and asked, "What about you guys?"

Kanzaki and the other two showed their cell phone screens openly.

"not me."

“I wasn’t chosen either.”

"same."

This result was not unexpected. According to the 12 preferential treatment recipients and the school's consistent principle of fairness, they should be evenly distributed among the four classes, with only three in each class.

"Then we can only wait for Ichinose to punish the favored class member—"

"I already know, Uesugi-kun, I already know who the favored one in the class is."

At this moment, Ichinose pushed the door open and walked in.

This was something we had discussed in the class group last night. If anyone is assigned a preferential treatment, we will tell Ichinose immediately, and then come to Uesugi Gen around 8 o'clock to discuss the specific plan.

"In that case..."

Uesugi Gen climbed out of bed, went to the bedside and began to rummage through the drawers. Finally, he pulled out a crumpled piece of paper. "Oh, I got it."

"this is……"

Shibata Sa carefully examined the paper that Uesugi Gen had posted. "What are the groups of all the students in the grade?"

Hamaguchi Tetsuya asked in surprise, "But why is it different from the one the teacher gave me?"

The piece of paper that Uesugi Gen took out did not show the class at all, only the group name and the student's name.

Rat: XXX XXX XXX……

Cow: XXX XXX XXX……

Tiger: XXX XXX XXX……

Rabbit: XXX XXX XXX……

……

"Of course, because that's how we can find all the people who are being treated preferentially!"

This calm voice startled everyone present like thunder out of the blue.

Kanzaki Ryuji stood up from his seat and looked at the paper in horror.

"Can the favored ones be found this way?"

"Is it because of the 'serious adjustments' in the text message, Uesugi-kun?"

Ichinose frowned in thought.

The "serious adjustment" indirectly reflects that the beneficiaries this time are not selected randomly, but must meet certain conditions to become beneficiaries.

“That’s partly why.”

Uesugi Gen didn't deny it. "But what really convinced me that there was a pattern to the preferential treatment was the theme of this exam."

“Thinking?”

"good."

Uesugi Gen nodded and asked Kanzaki Ryuji, "Kanzaki, what's more important: finding the one who's lying among the 12 people, or hiding your identity among the 12 people?"

Kanzaki Ryuji thought for a moment and came up with the answer.

"It should be language expression ability and logical thinking ability."

Language expression ability can make the favored person fit in more naturally with the group, while logical thinking ability can prevent the favored person's language from having loopholes and being discovered by others. The same is true in reverse.

Uesugi Gen snapped his fingers casually.

"That's right. Verbal expression and logical thinking are the most important things in this game. Besides that, the ability to adapt to situations and read people's expressions are also part of it. Of course, thinking, or the ability to analyze the current situation, is also part of it."

"but,"

Uesugi Gen changed the subject, "Although this game does test your ability to analyze current situations, the proportion of this ability can even be called very small. How can it be worthy of the word 'theme'?"

"So, the only explanation is that the school's real exam questions aren't here. This is just a trick the school is playing to confuse us. Those who are favored have other ways to find out, and this means the part the teacher is hiding is the key to passing this exam."

"So that's why the school made the rules of this special exam so vague, not even allowing us to ask further questions, just to let us figure it out on our own?"

Kanzaki Ryuji understood.

The other people present were not stupid either. With Uesugi Gen's hint, they quickly figured out the principle.

After figuring out the exam questions, the next step is to find out all the favored people.

"Ichinose, mark the names of those who are being favored in our class and see if there's any pattern."

"I see."

Ichinose nodded, then stepped forward and circled the names of the three favored students from Class B.

"this is……"

Looking at the preferential treatment marked on the paper, Shibata Sa couldn't help but open his eyes wide, "Is it so simple and direct?"

"I think we should find a few more preferential recipients to confirm."

Kanzaki Ryuji said with a strange expression about the pattern above.

On the piece of paper that Uesugi Gen took out, the three beneficiaries could be connected into a line, and this line was exactly the diagonal line of the 12×12 beneficiaries.

"Too."

Uesugi Gen scratched his head. "With three, there's still a risk of error. We need at least one more to roughly confirm it."

As he spoke, Uesugi Gen inadvertently glanced at the other suspected abusers on the diagonal line.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on a name above and he slowly smiled.

At the same time, a text message was also sent to Uesugi Gen's mobile phone.

Chapter 85: Wouldn’t it be better to just leave the school behind?

[A notice is in order: all first-year students, please assemble in the banquet hall on the first floor.]

[I repeat, all first-year students, please assemble in the banquet hall on the first floor.]

The broadcast sound reached everyone's ears.

"First floor, banquet hall? What kind of tricks is the school playing?"

Long Yuanxiang, who was singing in the KTV, frowned and looked at the broadcast. He already had a basic idea of how to pass this special exam, and he didn't want the school to add some strange rules.

At the same time, Horikita Suzune, Katsuragi Kohei, Hirata Yosuke and others who were on the cruise ship were also startled when they heard this voice.

Anything else about special exams?

……

Luxury cruise ship, first floor banquet hall.

The banquet hall, which was originally used to entertain guests, shouldn't have too many students, but today it was unusually crowded with people.

All the first-year students gathered here, divided into four distinct groups, and began whispering to each other.

"Haven't the exam rules been explained? Are there still more exam rules?"

"If you had something, why didn't you just talk about it yesterday? Why did you wait until now?"

"Or are there any additional rules that must be given?"

……

At this moment, a shrill sound came from somewhere, causing all the students present to cover their ears involuntarily.

Everyone followed the sound and looked towards the source.

"Hey! That's not..."

"Have we been deceived by him?"

"Uesugi bastard!"

Ryuen Sho's gnashing teeth came from the crowd of Class C.

"Ahem, sorry, I was just debugging the equipment."

Uesugi Gen cleared his throat and looked at everyone with a smile.

"By the way, it wasn't the school that called you all here. I spent some points to gather you all here."

"Did you spend points to gain access to the radio on the cruise ship?"

Katsuragi Kohei turned his head to look at the broadcast, then spoke solemnly.

"There must be some purpose behind calling us here at such great lengths."

"Of course."

There was a hint of lightness in Uesugi Gen's voice.

"My purpose—"

A beam of light suddenly hit the blackboard behind Uesugi Gen, exposing the contents on it to all the students.

"It's these 8550 million personal points."

Horikita Suzune looked at the contents on the blackboard and said slowly, "The result of the special exam is one."

"As expected of you, bastard Uesugi."

Ryuuen Sho also grinned as he looked at the contents on the blackboard. This idea actually coincided with his own.

At this moment, Katsuragi Kōhei stared at the number on the blackboard with serious eyes and raised his own doubts, "Uesugi, you should know that under the current circumstances, it is impossible to achieve the result of one."
