Member-only story
The achievements of human technological development in the past century far exceed those of thousands of years past. Isn’t that terrifying?
Scientists would never imagine being drowned in the ocean of knowledge.
The ‘Deity’ suddenly appears, happily answering every question posed by mankind.
Until the last question humans posed.
They asked the ‘Deity’, “How can we become like you?”

“Teacher!”
In the quiet exam room, I suddenly raised my hand to call the invigilator.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem with the question?” The invigilator came to my side after hearing my request.
“There’s an answer sheet in my drawer.” I looked at her with the sincerest expression I could manage, a mix of obedience and grievance in my eyes.
“This…” The invigilator, seemingly encountering such a situation for the first time, looked urgently at the other invigilator.
Quickly, I became the focal point of the examination hall.
To prevent disturbing the other students, an invigilator took me out of the examination hall.
“Is this answer sheet yours?”
“It isn’t mine. It inexplicably appeared in my drawer.”
“If the thing is not yours, how did it end up in your drawer? Didn’t we say before the exam to check the drawers?”
“I checked it! This thing just appeared out of thin air. If it was mine, why would I raise my hand and let you guys know?”
The invigilator was at a loss for words for a moment.
At that moment, the head of the invigilation team passed by and saw me talking to the invigilator outside the examination hall, so he came over and asked, ‘What’s wrong? Is there anything this candidate needs?’
‘Team Lead, you came at the right time. This student said he found an answer sheet in his drawer.’ The invigilator handed the answer sheet to the team lead.
The leader frowned, took a careful look at the answer, and his frown deepened, even becoming a bit flustered.
