Chapter 8: Zero In All Subjects? How Did He Do It?


Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL


Raymond’s parents were a little stunned when they saw Raymond finish all of this, but they thought it was because of the pressure and he didn’t dare to look at it himself. They didn’t say anything and just turned to look at the computer screen.


Raymond’s mother also muttered, “Why does this child not care about his grades so much?”


The two of them stopped looking at Raymond and focused on the grades. Their eyes began to shine.


But when they looked at the grades, the light in their eyes began to fade and was replaced by confusion.


Raymond’s grades were displayed on the computer.


Candidate: Raymond


Critical Reading: 0. Grade D-


Grammar Exam: 0. Grade D-


Mathematics Exam: 0. Grade D-


..


..


In an instant, the two of them stood in front of the computer, their expressions completely frozen.


The two of them looked at each other stiffly, both of them looking helpless. They had thought that their son might do poorly in the exam, but they had not expected him to do so badly…


..


In the living room, Raymond sat on the sofa with an awkward look on his face.


He did not want to watch TV anymore, so he turned on his phone and started to numb himself with the news on his phone.


He was ready to be kicked out of his house by his father and live on the streets.


No one could accept that kind of result.


This was still the fault of the system that had been causing trouble. It was the system that wanted him to do this.


During the few days after the SAT ended, Raymond had called the system countless times.


But there was no response, as if it had never happened.


This made Raymond a little confused.


Didn’t the system say that the awakening would officially begin after the exam was completed?


How many days had it been since the exam ended? Why was there no response at all?


Now that he was still in such an awkward situation, Raymond felt like he wanted to pull the system out and crush it to death.


“Sigh…”


Two sighs came from the room.


Raymond was stunned.


No anger, no hysteria? Just a sigh?


The next moment, his parents walked out of the room.


Raymond’s father shook his head and sighed.


His mother looked dejected.


Sitting on the sofa, Raymond’s father looked at him. His eyes were full of words, as if he had a lot to say.


But a thousand words stuck in his heart, and in the end, he still didn’t say anything.


There was nothing he could do. What else could he do?


They were all zero points. What else could he do? What else could he do?


The anger in the living room quickly became awkward, and Raymond was so embarrassed that he wanted to die immediately.


Zero points in all subjects… It was not easy for anyone, and to meet such a situation directly made people die.


Raymond’s mother hugged him and comforted him. “Alright, I know why you don’t want to look at the results.”


Then, she resisted the urge to die. Raymond’s mother comforted him, “It’s alright. You might not be good at studying. This result… Is not something that ordinary people can get. Since it has already happened, let’s not take it to heart. Wait until your father finds a job for you, or whatever you want to do. Maybe you’ll have a breakthrough at work.”


Hearing this kind of consolation, Raymond felt even more embarrassed.


“Dad, Mom, I…”


Seeing Raymond’s hesitation, his mother shook her head and said, “Okay, it’s just a test. It’s nothing. Bill Gates dropped out of school, but he was still able to build Microsoft…”


Her words were obviously meant to comfort Raymond.


Raymond’s father shook his head and laughed. “He didn’t do well… He’s no different from not doing well…”


His mother glared at her father and said, “You’re the one who talks too much!”


Then, Raymond’s mother continued to comfort him. “If you don’t do well in the exam, it doesn’t mean that you won’t have a good future. I believe that my son will achieve something in the future. You’re usually so smart, but you still have a long life ahead of you…”


Raymond was in a much better mood. “Thank… Thank you, Mom. I… I will.”


At this moment, Raymond’s mother couldn’t hold it in any longer, she asked curiously, “Oh right, Raymond, you probably didn’t turn in your blank paper either. Then what did you write on the paper? You even got a zero? This is the first time I’ve heard of such a thing in all these years…”


Hearing Raymond’s mother’s question, his father looked at Raymond with curiosity.


Their son was also a weirdo!


Even if this exam paper was a blind guess, it shouldn’t be able to get a zero, right?


When Raymond heard such a question, he didn’t know how to answer for a moment.


Beep! Beep!


At this awkward moment of silence, the phone on the coffee table suddenly rang. It turned out that the news had arrived.


Raymond’s eyes couldn’t help but look at the phone.


He saw the headline on the screen: “SAT’s latest candidate with zero marks in all subjects. Rarely seen in the world! Exam papers exposed!”


Seeing this news, Raymond knew that his matter had already made the news.


F*ck!


This news was really timely!


Then, he said to his parents:


“Dad, Mom, this is my exam paper. Take a look…”


On the phone news, a picture of the exam paper was displayed.


Raymond’s parents looked over in panic.


Their son’s zero in general subjects was actually on the news? It was all online?


Their expressions were slightly strange.


They glanced at the headline, “SAT’s latest zero in general subjects. Unprecedented. Exam paper exposed!”


Raymond’s parents really wanted to die.


Then, their curiosity about this matter drove them to look at the news. They clicked on the pictures one by one, and both of them focused their attention in front of their phones.


Once they looked at it, their expressions started to change.


Critical reading and writing on the Qi and Blood Body Refining Technique, mathematics and writing on the engine and fuel chemistry formula, and grammar was directly written in Morse code…


Looking at the test papers, their son wrote them down one by one.


There wasn’t even a blank name on each test paper. Raymond’s name appeared at the top of the page!


After reading, the two put down their phones. Their faces were very ugly, and their eyes were filled with different emotions.


They thought they had gotten over it. They thought that their son did not have the talent to study.


Who knew that when they saw the test paper, they knew the reason why he got a zero, but…


“Dad… Mom… Are you okay?” Raymond asked tentatively.


It would be fine if he did not ask, but when he asked, he saw their faces instantly turn ugly.


When Raymond saw the change in his parents’ faces, he knew that something bad might happen, so he immediately ran back to his room.


“Mom and Dad, rest well. I’ll go back to my room first.”


After saying that, he immediately ran away without looking back. Staying outside every minute and second was torture! It was too awkward!
