"Why don't we make a wager?" Theon looked at Osborn and laughed.
Osborn sneered. "How do you want to bet?"
"If I lose, I will never appear in front of Jasmine again. If I win, you can't harass Jasmine in the future," Theon said.
"Fellow, you really are interested in Jasmine!" Osborn looked grim, then said, "Hmph! My status is different from yours, so why should I agree to this unfair bet?"
"Then, let's change the bet. If I win, everything you own shall belong to me." Theon laughed.
Osborn laughed and said, "Deal!"
He didn't care about money or things much, and besides, he didn't think that Theon could beat him. The corner of Theon's mouth turned up in a smile. Then, having successfully achieved his goal, he immediately drafted two electronic contracts of their wager agreement.
"Sign the contract, both copies, so that person who loses cannot go back on their word." Theon signed his name, then sent the electronic contract to Osborn.
Osborn signed the contract without thinking much, then laughed and said, "With this contract as proof, no one can go back on their word."
The 10-minute break ended right after both of them signed the contracts, meaning that the fundamental examination had officially begun. Even though the fundamental examination was important, it took up only a small portion of the entire certification process.
Whoosh!
The examination questions soon flashed across Theon's table, allowing the apprentices to answer them directly on the screens there.
How many known Grade one herbs exist, and how many categories are they split into…?
Upon seeing the first question, Theon's mind instantly flooded with all sorts of pharmaceutical knowledge that the Heart of the Universe had crammed into his brain. As such, Theon instantly knew the answer.
He picked up the electronic pen and answered every question at an amazing speed. Even if Theon did not know the answers to some of the questions, he only need to search his memories to figure out what it truly was. It was as though he had answered the same questions in his memories multiple times. This was Theon's secret trump card!
The Basic Knowledge Certification Examination had a total of 1,000 questions, covering all categories, including experimental reactions, fusion reactions, pharmaceutical effects, and so on. As such, it was naturally impossible for anyone to answer all of these questions correctly, as even the Geneticists had varying levels of adequacy in varied subjects and were unable to do so.
The five-hour knowledge certification test passed quickly...
"Time's up! We'll be collecting the tests now!" Aaron's voice rang out.
All of the tests were then locked and they could no longer answer any more questions. The electronic test files were then automatically sent to the main computer. In an instant, discussions rang out among the apprentices.
"We're finally done, but those 1,000 questions were too difficult."
"How many questions did you complete?"
"I only finished 400 questions, many of which I did not know the correct answer to."
"Answering all of the questions is impossible. I only answered a little more than 500 questions."
Just when everyone was discussing the examination questions, while waiting for their results, someone asked Osborn, "How many questions have you answered, master Osborn?"
Osborn said, an arrogant expression on his face, "Unfortunately, I only answered a few more than 800 questions. If I had more time, I could've finished all of them."
All the apprentices were surprised, as answering more than 800 questions was an amazing feat!
"How many did you answer?" John looked at Klein
"About 780 questions," Klein responded.
The noble apprentices smiled victoriously again, as without a doubt, their camp had once again surpassed the civilian camp!
"How many did you answer then, Mr. Theon?" Osborn asked Theon jokingly
As he was quizzing Theon, Osborn naturally harbored evil designs. As such, others could not help but shift their attention to him.
"I have answered all 1,000 questions, which were all very simple. Where is the difficulty?" Theon calmly said.
Osborn heard what he said and burst out laughing, which was followed by comments and peals of laughter from the other noble apprentices.
"Haha, did you hear him? He said that he has answered all 1,000 questions?!"
"This young lad must be making up a story, as it is impossible to finish answering all of the questions!"
"Haha, he even said that the questions are not difficult, he really must think he is a genius."
The noble apprentices could not help but laugh, as none of them took what Theon had said seriously. After all, it was impossible to achieve.
"Hey, brother, even if you did not manage to answer the questions well, you don't have to lie to everyone about it," Gordon said with a sigh.
Even Gordon and a few others did not quite believe what Theon had said. After all, Klein, who was the most talented, had only been able to answer seven hundred and eighty of the questions. So, in comparison, he would have been considered lucky if Theon could have answered even just 100 questions!
"I'm telling the truth. When the results are out, you will all see." Theon smiled calmly and looked at Osborn. He then added, "When that time comes, I hope that someone does not go back on his word."
"Well, you can rest assured. If I lose, all of my money will be yours. However, you must not forget to refrain from pestering Jasmine if you lose." Osborn sneered. He then added, "But, I am not afraid of you defaulting either, for I would make you regret that."
The crowd understood that Osborn was not joking. The group of people, who had pestered Jasmine in the past, had all suffered for it in the end.
If Theon did not have a letter of recommendation in his hand, Osborn would not have talked to him so nicely but would have driven him away immediately. After all, his having a letter of recommendation meant that Theon had at least one Grade one Geneticist supporting him, so Osborn did not dare attempt to resolve their conflict by physical force.
Of course, if Theon dared to breach their new agreement, Osborn would then not be so nice. After the examination ended, five minutes passed quickly.
