Chapter 265 Pokémon Pro Trainer Theory Exam! This last question was incredibly difficult!
Chapter 265 Pokémon Professional Trainer Theoretical Exam! This last question... was way too brutal!
[How long has it been since I last watched? Has the streamer gone off to take a professional exam?]
Wait a minute, isn't the streamer an appraiser? If he's a professional player, is his Pokémon collection even decent?
[Are you all fake fans? Didn't you watch the live stream of the preliminary selection for the streamer? Just one Snorlax was absolutely devastating in actual battle! The opponents in the battle test were completely overwhelmed by its attacks! One Body Slam from Snorlax left the opponent utterly helpless!]
[Is that ruthless? The streamer is truly a master of both knowledge and skill! He has both!]
The audience was abuzz with discussion about Ye Yinchuan's participation in the professional examination.
At first, when the streamer said he wanted to take the professional exam, everyone thought it was a joke, but they didn't expect him to be serious.
Many viewers who witnessed the preliminary selection were already convinced.
The reason is simple: the small Snorlax that participated in the battle demonstrated invincible combat ability. The preliminary round was just a small test, making people feel that the final round would be a piece of cake!
However, there are also those who don't understand or are dissatisfied with the live broadcast.
The preliminary selection criteria are too low, merely a passing grade. The final selection is where the real skills are revealed, eliminating a large number of candidates in each round!
[I don't believe the streamer is that all-around skilled... Honestly, his Snorlax is just fed; it has absolutely no real battle experience, right? If it encounters anything even slightly stronger, it'll probably be rendered useless!]
No, no, no, I completely believe in Snorlax's fighting power. But don't overlook one point: the final selection requires testing at least three Pokémon. I wonder if the streamer's Milotic is just for show; even if it isn't, who will he rely on for the other one?
These are all aspects of life depicted in Ye Yinchuan's live broadcast room.
Another group of people are paying attention to Angelica dahurica.
Did your assistant put on makeup today? She looks so pretty!
I heard Bai Zhi is still in university...it seems she only comes back to help occasionally, that's so nice!
This wasn't the first time Bai Zhi had done a live broadcast, so she was naturally quite adept at it.
"Thank you, thank you. I did put on makeup today... Yes, I'm still in university... The anchor is going in now. According to the exam process, it should be a theory exam - an interview - a practical exam..."
He responded to questions about himself and explained the upcoming exam process to the viewers in the live stream.
Ye Yinchuan was already outside the examination hall, waiting to enter.
Most of the other test-takers looked nervous and uneasy, some even muttering the key points to themselves.
On the other hand, Ye Yinchuan... he's pretty much the same.
Because much of the knowledge in professional theory, although centered around Pokémon, is not equivalent to Pokémon knowledge, Ye Yinchuan's [True Knowledge Pokédex] cannot cover it all.
Common sense and safety knowledge are easy to understand and don't require rote memorization.
However, many knowledge points about wild resources can only be learned through rote memorization and experience accumulation.
Ye Yinchuan didn't usually have much experience with these things, and his preparations were rather rushed, so he wasn't entirely confident.
In the preliminary selection, he only got 85 points, which sounds like a high score, but in fact the questions in the preliminary selection were relatively simple, and there were many people who got full marks!
Therefore, during the exam, some viewers criticized him, saying that he came to take the professional exam only for the sake of popularity, rather than to prepare seriously, and that the result would definitely be bad.
As the entrance announcement sounded, Ye Yinchuan followed the flow of examinees into the examination room.
The professional exam is much larger in scale than the appraiser exam, and the testing venues are also at a different level, but they share a common feature: they are computer-based exams.
This means taking the exam on a computer, receiving the score immediately after the exam, and then proceeding to the next exam.
It's worth mentioning that after the theoretical part of the professional exam, there's no need to wait for the subsequent procedures.
In other words, you first take the theory test. If you pass, your file will directly enter the interview process, and you can go for the interview at any time.
It's important to note that interviews are a more comprehensive and holistic assessment, so there will still be theoretical questions...
Once the interview is passed, the battle test will begin immediately.
You heard right, we're going to start right away.
The interviewers were all seasoned professional trainers, and they all had Pokémon specifically for the exam. Essentially, after asking the questions, they would get up and pull out a Poké Ball.
The interview venue was also quite spacious, as it was intended for use as a battleground.
Ye Yinchuan shook his head. Now was not the time to think too much. The most important thing was the theory exam in front of him. If he failed the theory exam, everything would be for nothing.
Here, it's necessary to explain the mechanism of professional examinations.
Theoretical scores are fundamental, practical scores are essential, while interview scores are subject to greater uncertainty.
If your theoretical score is high enough, it can make up for the other two scores to some extent, so the higher the better.
Even if your performance in actual combat is poor, but your theoretical score is high enough, you may eventually get a professional license. However, you may be subject to some restrictions, such as needing to pass specific assessments before you can enter the jungle to explore...
It's a bit like getting on the train first and buying the ticket later.
The theoretical score is your qualification to get on the bus.
If you barely pass the theory test but your practical performance is poor, then you're not eligible for a professional license. You can come earlier next time!
Even if you excel in practical skills but fail the theoretical exam, you'll still be eliminated because you won't even make it to the next stage...
For professional exams, practical skills are important, but you can't fail because your theoretical knowledge is too weak.
Furthermore, because both the interview and the actual test involve human intervention, some people might feel that there's a lot of shady stuff going on. But in reality, these examiners have all undergone rigorous training and vetting, and the entire test is broadcast live, subject to public scrutiny…
Generally, there will be no cheating or unfairness.
After all, professional trainers are highly qualified. After each exam, several groups of specialists will review and file the results. If any problems are found, not only will the candidate's score be canceled, but the examiners involved will also be held accountable.
Of course, nothing is absolute. When the benefits are great enough, some people are willing to risk their lives, let alone be held accountable.
In a country as large as China, several cases emerge almost every year, and all of them are dealt with seriously, with the results made public...
Relatively speaking, the fairness of professional examinations can still be guaranteed.
Ye Yinchuan had already found his seat, sat down, entered the number on his admission ticket, and after successful verification, he was waiting for the exam to begin.
I feel like the streamer isn't as confident as he was during the appraiser exam.
Looking around distractedly, it's like I haven't studied well for my final exams—like a greenhorn.
[Only 85 points in the preliminary round? That's tough. The preliminary round is just a test, to get a feel for the exam process; the final round is where the real intensity comes in!]
Ye Yinchuan hadn't even settled into his seat, and the exam hadn't even started, when the comments section was already full of pessimism.
"Achoo!"
Ye Yinchuan sneezed, thinking to himself, "Who's saying I'm handsome again?"
The exam has begun.
Upon looking at the first question, Ye Yinchuan fell into deep thought.
[Of the following three wilderness areas within China, ranked by danger level, which has the highest access level?]
【I. Longpan Mountain】
II. Fuxian Island
【III. Ailao Forest】
Looking at the three place names in front of him, Ye Yinchuan felt that they seemed familiar, but in reality, he knew nothing about them.
How do you categorize the level of danger?
At this point, the comments section also began to discuss this question.
[Is that even a question? Of course, choose option three! The Ailao Forest is a primeval forest, said to be home to many undiscovered Pokémon. They've almost never encountered humans and are incredibly ferocious! You can tell from the name; it's said that in ancient times this was a place of exile for criminals, and those who went in had a near-certain death rate!]
[Longpan Mountain is a scenic area, right? Although there are areas where ordinary people are prohibited from entering, I don't think the danger level is too high! Could it be that there are a lot of Dragon-type Pokémon inside?]
What kind of place is Fuxian Island? Can anyone tell me? It sounds very mysterious!
I saw this on Douyin (TikTok), but it's just a body of water on Fuxian Island. Apparently, the water level drop is huge, like a cliff underwater... The scariest thing is, supposedly there are many human and Pokémon corpses at the bottom. Because of the low temperature, they don't decompose, so even though they're dead, they look like they're still alive!
Looking at the comments, Bai Zhi's head was buzzing, and she couldn't help but search for the three jungle areas on her phone. The search engine gave her the following results:
Longpan Mountain is not a wild area in the conventional sense, but a scenic area, so it can be ruled out. The real wild area is called Longpan Deep Inner Zone, which is not the same thing!
The Ailao Forest covers a very large area and is divided into different areas with varying levels of danger, so it cannot be generalized. In the end, the only remaining answer is Fuxian Island.
Although Fuxian Island sounds beautiful, it is actually a high-level wilderness area. Only Pokémon of level 40 or higher are qualified to enter. Moreover, the Pokémon inside are very dangerous, especially the nearby waters, which are full of dangers and contain all kinds of ferocious water-type Pokémon.
"Chuan, you absolutely have to choose the right one!"
Bai Zhi secretly cheered Ye Yinchuan on.
Unfortunately, despite studying for so long, Ye Yinchuan only knew about the Ailao Forest out of the three wilderness areas. He had a vague impression of the other two, but couldn't remember the specifics.
So Ye Yinchuan chose the Ailao Forest. A Pikachu appeared on the screen, then made an X with its hands, looked at him with a disappointed expression, and shook its head and sighed…
The meaning is obvious: you chose the wrong option.
The correct answers and explanations also appeared, and they were basically the same as those found by searching for Angelica dahurica.
"this……"
Ye Yinchuan scratched his head, feeling that his mission had gotten off to a bad start.
The theoretical part of the professional exam differs from the appraiser exam in that it uses a more advanced testing system. Once a question is answered, the result is confirmed immediately and the score is given on the spot.
The exam time is also quite generous. You can sit inside and take your time until 6 p.m. when the exam room is completely closed. You can come back the next day to continue the exam process.
Even those students who are slow at solving problems and can't get an interview or practical test today can go home first, prepare some more, and wait for the exam schedule notification.
This is why the process of professional examinations is relatively complicated and lengthy.
Of course, you can also be quick and decisive, answer questions rapidly, and get into the interview and practical process on the first day.
More often than not, many people are completely overwhelmed when doing the theoretical exam questions.
Because you can tell whether you've answered correctly or incorrectly right away, and if you make consecutive mistakes, it can be quite a blow to your mentality.
Regarding this, many people believe that the professional exams are deliberately arranged this way, as they are also a kind of psychological test and challenge.
Ye Yinchuan took a deep breath, feeling a chill run down his spine.
I got stumped by the first question right away. What a bad start!
[Okay, usually the first question is the easiest!]
How could you make such a mistake? I know Fuxian Island is the most dangerous!
The Ailao Forest is a trap!
Ye Yinchuan could only keep his composure and continue working on the problems.
His requirements are not high; just being qualified is enough. The rest can be made up for through interviews and practical experience.
As long as you eventually get your professional license, none of this matters.
The second question is: "When you are exploring in the wild and discover a large amount of unknown ore, what should you do immediately?"
[1. Report to the Pokémon Center!]
[II. Commence mining!]
3. Observe your surroundings and remain vigilant!
【IV. Take a photo to commemorate the occasion!】
Looking at the question, Ye Yinchuan felt it wasn't difficult; the key was what to do immediately.
Option two is definitely wrong. The reason is simple: mining requires qualifications, and mining in the wild with unknown minerals could lead to dangers such as explosions.
Option four is just a joke.
Some people might see option one and choose it instantly, but if you read the question carefully, the first thing to do should be option three, mainly to be wary of wild Pokémon around you.
In the Pokémon world, ores play a much greater role than one might imagine, and they are a resource that wild Pokémon can directly utilize.
One point clearly stated in the "Professional Trainer Guide" is that in the wild, where there are resources, there are definitely Pokémon nearby.
Resources like ores might be considered by Pokémon to belong to them, as part of their territory. If they approach them rashly, they could be attacked!
Sure enough, this question was easily solved.
This question is too easy!
Why wasn't it reported to the Pokémon Center immediately?
Generally speaking, three and one are the things that should be done, but in reality, many people might choose two and four!
Ye Yinchuan continued answering questions.
The process that followed was a mix of successes and failures, and was quite bumpy.
Which of the following three Pokémon would be the most dangerous if encountered in the wild?
Upon seeing such questions, Ye Yinchuan would often breathe a sigh of relief, because questions directly related to Pokémon were his forte.
【I. Bobo】
【II. Slowpoke】
【III. Large-billed Finch】
Ye Yinchuan instantly selected three.
Pidgey is just a basic form of Pokémon and is not very dangerous.
Slowpoke is the kind of Pokémon that won't attack you if you don't provoke it, and it's not so bad if you punch it.
In comparison, the most dangerous one is definitely the final evolution form, which is also quite irritable—the evolution form of Spearow, Finch!
……
When food is scarce in the wild, which of the following tree fruits cannot be eaten directly?
The answer choices for this question are three pictures, each depicting what are called tree fruits.
One of them was mainly black with white, question mark-like patterns on it and a white stem at the bottom, making it look unlike an ordinary tree fruit.
One of them was green and segmented, looking like a green worm.
There was another one, pink, with its surface covered in spikes; it didn't look too bad.
Ye Yinchuan glanced at the question, carefully reading it; it was not something that could be directly consumed.
"It's green, I think it's a jujube? It looks a bit strange, but it's edible. Although it tastes spicy and bitter, it's rich in dietary fiber. It's not really suitable for filling your stomach in the wild, but it's better than nothing..."
"The key is this black fruit with a question mark on it..."
Ye Yinchuan vaguely remembered.
He's been exposed to knowledge about this world lately, so his mind hasn't quite caught up yet.
Isn't this a mizhi fruit?
In the Pokémon game lore, this is a precious fruit of unknown origin, said to possess the power of stars... There are also theories that the true appearance of this fruit is unknown, and even its taste is described as, "Only those who have tasted it know its flavor"...
"I don't know what the Mystic Fruit is in this world, but it should be edible, right?"
After a moment's thought, Ye Yinchuan decided to choose option three.
The fruit in option three looks thorny and has a strange color, so it's probably not suitable for direct consumption.
As it turned out, Ye Yinchuan made the right choice.
[Wait, what's the first tree fruit? Does anyone know? It doesn't look like something edible!]
[I can tell that these three things can't be eaten directly; they're all thorns. How can I eat them?]
[If you hadn't told me, I would have thought the picture in option two was of an insect!]
The comments section was buzzing with discussion, showing a strong interest in Mizhiguo (a type of fruit).
Many people are also searching for information about what kind of tree fruit it is, which is black in color and has question mark-like patterns...
The result was a case found through the search.
It's like someone in the wild, having run out of food, found a fruit that perfectly matched these characteristics, and survived by eating it, eventually waiting for rescue...
Although the fruit had been eaten, he left behind photos and videos.
As for what the fruit tastes like, the survivor only said that it's a hard-to-describe taste, and only those who have tasted it can understand it.
To date, no one else has publicly discovered this fruit.
Many people searched for this case, including the reactions of test takers who got the question wrong and saw the explanation and materials...
Seriously—this works? This can actually be used as a test question?
But upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem wrong. After all, some people have eaten it and even survived thanks to the fruit of this tree. So, do you think it's safe to eat directly?
It is said that some questions in professional exams are very varied and obscure.
This question, for example, fits this rule, and probably only test takers who have seen this news article could easily choose the correct answer.
Some people say that the professional exam also tests your luck, because as a professional trainer, what resources will you find during wilderness exploration, what dangers will you encounter, and will you be able to survive...?
Many times, it doesn't depend on anything else, just your luck!
Ye Yinchuan's answering speed was not fast. By the time he got to the last question, many candidates had already finished answering the questions, left the examination room, and moved on to the next step.
"The score should be high enough to pass."
Ye Yinchuan checked briefly and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I wasn't fully prepared for the exam, I managed to get over 60 points thanks to my knowledge of Pokémon, some problem-solving strategies, and a bit of luck.
Now, with only one question left, Ye Yinchuan relaxed.
If you encountered the following three Pokémon in the wild, please choose the one you believe poses the least danger...
Ye Yinchuan's expression shifted as he looked at the three Pokémon in the picture.
He could recognize what those three Pokémon were at a glance...
These are Celebi, Suicune...
There was also a Pokémon, a legendary Pokémon, whose appearance surprised Ye Yinchuan...
Legendary Pokémon, but artificial, a mirage clone!
Its name is—Mewtwo!
