The Only Normal Human In The Universe

Mother and son comforted each other for a few moments before setting off.

An Mu sent An Yan to the entrance of the Star Central First college. She watched him walk in until his back had completely disappeared before leaving.

This was the first time An Yan had ever walked into the Central Star First College. He couldn’t help but slow down his pace, curiously surveying his surroundings. Although he knew he wouldn’t be able to pass the exams, he was still curious about this school, which was famous throughout the interstellar.

Although the word "Central Star" was added in front of it, it was one of the most prestigious institutions in the universe.

In particular, the pharmacy and mechatronics majors have always been the best among all higher education institutions that offer the same majors. This shows how strong they really are.

However, that was information provided on the virtual net. What he could see now was the general environment of the academy and the various buildings.

He saw all kinds of tall buildings and the brightly coloured scenery around them. The flowers and plants along the roadside were vibrant, the air around them was fresh and natural, and An Yan’s mood relaxed as he walked around..

There were some people walking around; all of them were in the same age group as they had all come to take the entrance exam.

An Yan liked this kind of atmosphere. Everyone seemed full of vitality, yet the atmosphere gave a unique sense of tranquilly and relief.

[Ding! Ten minutes left until the entrance exam starts. Please proceed to the exam location as soon as possible.] 

An Yan came back to his senses on hearing the reminder from his light brain and hurriedly went to the examination venue.

 An Yan reached the examination room a minute before the start of the examination. By the time he verified his personal information and walked to his seat, it was just about nine o'clock.

Several virtual walls slowly rose up around An Yan in the exam room.

These virtual walls were not real, but they could completely block the line of sight and transmission of sound, effectively preventing cheating.

An Yan carefully listened to what was read out before the exam and then heard the first test of this entrance exam.

[Please make a bottle of a body potion of at least F grade for a human who carries the hamster trait in his body.]

An Yan looked confused: "……" Hamsters don’t need any body potions!

Just as An Yan was cringing at the title, a selection box automatically popped up in front of An Yan.

[Please choose the potion ingredients and animal spiritual power you require.]

Below this line were two columns, one corresponding to the many potion materials and the other to several potion spiritual powers.

The Potion ingredients column allows one to select up to ten ingredients, while the Potion Spirituality column allows only one selection.

The Potion ingredients column had a large list of items, most of which are needed to make body potions, but there were also many useless items meant to confuse candidates, such as sunflower seeds, millet, apples, green leaves, etc.

A normal candidate would be able to recognise these confusing options at a glance and eliminate them straight away. But An Yan was instantly drawn to these confusing options, his large eyes flashing with a fiddling desire.

These were all things that hamsters loved to eat!

Yes, yes, yes! This is a must-have!

By the time he finally snapped out of the temptation of the food, he had already filled seven spots with ingredients in his potion material options box. Moreover, once they were selected, they could not be withdrawn or changed.

An Yan: "……" It was over!

He slapped his disobedient little hands in chagrin and began to think of a remedy.

Even the most common F-rank form potion required five ingredients to make, but he was now left with only three positions. What on earth should he do?

An Yan clenched his hands and carefully recalled the knowledge he had previously taken. He finally found a bit of content related to the problem before him.

There are two types of ingredients used in the preparation of body medicines, one is a necessary ingredient and the other is a supplementary material.

As the name implies, the essential ingredients are necessary for the preparation of the remedy. Without them, the remedy could not be made.

Supplementary materials, on the other hand, are needed to increase the probability of success in making a potion or to enhance the degree of spiritual fusion.

In layman’s terms, the essential ingredients are essential, but the supplementary ingredients are optional.

This gave An Yan hope, but he soon wilted because he had read that after excluding the auxiliary materials, there was only one body potion that required only three essential materials, and it was a B-grade body potion.

As a pure newcomer with no previous experience, he could not make an F-grade potion, let alone a B-grade one.

[There is one minute left before the end of the selection. Please complete the selection as soon as possible.]

Time was limited, so An Yan gritted his teeth and quickly selected the three essential ingredients needed for that kind of medicine. 

He was unlikely to pass this test anyway, so he could just take it as a challenge. An Yan could only comfort himself.

The next step was the choice of the potion’s spiritual power.

There were four options: hamster, feline, wolf dog, and Panther Spirits.

According to what An Yan had read before, apart from the first option, the other three options all met the requirements of the question. The difference is that the more intense the mental power was, the more the pharmacist’s fusion ability would be tested in the process of refining the potion.

If the pharmacist does not handle it properly, it may even lead to a direct failure of the production.

At the same time, although the more violent the spiritual power, the more effective the potion will be, but it also means it will have more side effects.

As this was an entrance examination, the main priority was to be safe. So, aside from those candidates who were extremely strong and had absolute certainty, most of them chose the second spiritual power.

An Yan also understood this, but his situation was completely different. He shuddered as he looked at the three last options, and his mind began to automatically simulate his despair if he was chased by these animals.

An Yan recalled his discomfort when he was touched by the body potion and he couldn’t even cry.

Why in the world would he come to an exam that would make a hamster desperate?

This exam is really over the top for a hamster!

[Now the countdown is on, 10, 9, 8, 7 ……]

An Yan was shocked back to his senses, and with a clench of his teeth and a stomp of his foot, he tapped his finger hard on the first option.

[The material selection has been completed. Enter the production stage. You have one hour to complete the preparation of the medicine.]

At the same time, a box instantly appeared in front of An Yan’s face. When he opened it, he found the materials he had just chosen, as well as a small bottle of spiritual power.

An Yan immediately picked up a sunflower seed and ate it. Then he seriously considered whether he should just give up or try harder.

Although he knew that his efforts would probably lead nowhere, An Yan felt a bit guilty if he just left.

Just as An Yan decided to persevere, the teacher in charge of the monitoring room shook his head at the picture in front of him.

He was looking at the situation on An Yan’s side.

After seeing that An Yan had chosen the hamster mental power, the teacher could already confirm that it was impossible for this student to pass the exam.

He had not even learnt the basics of the subject, and he had come to take the entrance exam for the pharmacy profession at the First College.

With that conclusion, the teacher didn’t look at that side of the room any further and switched the screen to the other candidates.

After a few more cuts, a girl appeared on the screen. She had already sorted and placed the selected herbs and started to formally make the potion.

The teacher’s finger pressing on the toggle button gave a slight pause, and then slowly moved away.

This candidate had chosen the Black Panther Spiritual Power, which was a rare occurrence in this examination.

Black Panther Spirituality was very aggressive. As Black Panthers were solitary animals, it made it very difficult to fuse with Black Panther spirituality.

Is it surprising that this candidate would choose the Panther Spirituality, or is she, like the previous candidate who chose the Hamster Spirituality, lacking knowledge about the making of body potions? Or is she confident that she can handle this challenge?

On the screen, the girl had processed several ingredients according to the steps. Judging from her proficiency, she was at least not ignorant of potion making, so it was the latter.

Once several ingredients were thoroughly blended, the girl picked up the bottle of Panther Spirituality and began the next step.

By adjusting the pharmacist’s mental power, integrating the ingredients and the spirit power together was the most crucial and difficult step in making a body potion.

But on the surface, this step looked calm, even close to static.

It is only the pharmacist’s mental energy that is active throughout; their body does not need to move much.

The only way to see this activity was through special instruments. So all the invigilator saw was that the girl had opened the bottle containing the Panther’s spiritual energy and then stood still.

The wait that followed was a long one, and the invigilator was a little hesitant, wondering if this candidate’s fusion would work. However, he was not in a position to keep his eyes on just this one candidate. His job now was to switch between the different shots in order to see what was happening to the candidates.

Just as he was hesitating to switch the camera, a colleague’s voice came from behind him, "Don’t worry, she will definitely be able to make the potion without any problems."

The invigilator was a little puzzled, "Why?"

The colleague’s voice sounded a little surprised, "Don’t you know her? She’s Zhao Chengxuan’s only daughter, Zhao Xinxin. "
