Chapter 480: Qiao Mu Private High School
Bai Liu calmly sidetracked the topic, "We'll talk about the matter of poor and superior students later, let's discuss the important things first, the main quest requires us to get the first place in the college entrance exams, but there's a serious loophole in this quest-it doesn't give a time limit."
Mu Sicheng curiously followed up, "What time limit."
"Time to complete the mission." Mu Ke, who was wearing glasses, appeared in their midst at some point and analyzed rather seriously, "The main quest doesn't give us a time limit for completing the quest."
"Shit, when did you come here!" Mu Sicheng was startled and jumped.
Mu Ke pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his tone light, "I came here with Jiayi, we're both exceptional students."
Mu Sicheng: "......"
Shit, I'm getting connotations. Special-needs students are great!
"Isn't the countdown to the college entrance exam fifty days?" Mu Sicheng asked rhetorically, full of doubts, he tapped out the system panel and pointed at the information on it and asked, "The main quest is to be number one in the college entrance exam, then the deadline for completing the quest should be fifty days."
Mu Ke euphemizes, "That's just a countdown to the high school entrance exam, it doesn't directly say that's the time limit for completion of the task."
"It's always impossible for the duration of the mission to be less than fifty days." Mu Sicheng muttered, "Otherwise how to take the college entrance exam ah ......"
Mu Sicheng gradually closed his mouth at the other three men's furtive looks, and then he couldn't help but lean in and retort, "No, if it's not fifty days, how else can this mission be accomplished?"
"It can't be another seven days, can it?!"
[System prompt: Congratulations to player Mu Sicheng for unlocking the hidden information of the duplicate main quest - [Quest duration].]
[The main quest is changed to: Please ask the player to achieve the first grade in the whole school in the college entrance examination within seven days.]
Mu Sicheng: "......"
Mu Sicheng grassed out a sound as he angrily slapped his system panel back, "Seven days, damn it hasn't even been the third model yet, how am I going to be number one in the whole school in the college entrance exam!"
"Don't talk as if you will definitely be able to top the college entrance exams after fifty days." Liu Jiayi breathlessly swept Mu Sicheng a glance, and continued to look at Bai Liu as he spoke on, "Aside from this quest duration, there's still a very troublesome point for us to complete the main quest."
"That would be the [College Entrance Examination] itself." Liu Jiayi's face sank, "Although the system assigned me the identity of an exceptional student, I don't have the relevant high school knowledge, which means that I can't play a role in the [College Entrance Examination] itself."
Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng : "How about you, now that you are allowed to take the college entrance exam, how much can you score? Can you still score over six hundred points?"
"......" Mu Sicheng Tsked, his rare temper deflating as he looked away and scratched the back of his neck, answering in a small voice, "Three or four hundred points, I think, I've pretty much forgotten it all."
Bai Liu looks to Mu Ke.
Mu Ke pursed her lips, full of apologies, "I'm sorry, I went to high school abroad, I didn't take the domestic college entrance exams, so I might not be able to get very high."
Liu Jiayi took a deep breath, "Bai Liu, how much can you test, you said at first that your high school entrance exam was more than a hundred points lower than Mu Sicheng, now what? Your memory is better than Mu Sicheng, you shouldn't forget high school knowledge so fast, if you can still take the original score now, you should be able to take the exam higher than Mu Sicheng ......"
Bai Liu calmly interrupted Liu Jiayi, "It should still be more than a hundred points lower now."
Noticing the silence of the surrounding staring at his own eyes, Bai Liu calmly opened his mouth: "For the time being, do not be so heavy, things have not reached the end of the mountain, the game has a solution, we still have a chance."
Mu Sicheng's eyes lit up, "Bai Liu, what else can you do!"
Bai Liu calmly analyzed against his jaw, "Do you guys think it's possible that Captain Tang is the top student of their province's college entrance exam?"
Liu Jiayi: "......"
It's completely gone to the extent of beating a dead horse around the bush.
Their team, screwed.
"Senior high school student?" Tang Er Beat looked incredulously at the group of players who, after finding him, immediately surrounded him into a corner and viciously pressed him.
Tang Er hit thinking for a while, and gave a serious and solemn reply, "I don't think so, I didn't take the college entrance exam."
Mu Sicheng gritted his teeth and despaired as he hammered Tang Er to hit the hard chest with a punch, "How could you not have taken the college entrance exam!"
"I've been training with the Heresy Management Bureau, I don't need to take the high school entrance exam, we take the Heresy Handling Bureau's promotion department exam." Tang Er hit helplessly removed Mu Sicheng's fist that was resting on his chest, "I got good grades in the Promotion Department, but it's true that I haven't studied specialized high school knowledge."
Mu Sicheng, still unwilling to give up, pressed, "So maybe you're a high school whiz?
"What's your second model score in this copy?" Bai Liu asked with a pinch of salt.
Tang Er hit a rare and somewhat embarrassing fist clenched and cleared cough, he straightened his back, as if some guilt-like attitude heavy: "507 points, too low right ......"
Bai Liu took hold of Tang Er's hands as he fought, and he sincerely said, "Captain Tang, for this copy, you are the hope of our entire team."
Tang Er typed, "......?"
After Mu Ke organized everyone's information and told Tang Er Ta, Tang Er Ta realized what Bai Liu meant, and he looked around at all of them with some tears and laughter, "I really didn't expect that I would actually become the person with the highest score."
"But before the critical task of the [College Entrance Examination], I think the issue of the time deadline is more difficult to deal with." Tang Er hit wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at the words [Seven Days] added to the mainline mission on the system panel, "It's only April 25th after seven days, we resisted the last minute of the mission deadline are 43 days away from the college entrance exam, how are we going to take the college entrance exam?"
"It's completely unresolved."
Bai Liu looked up, his eyes dark and flat as Tang Er fought, "There are no completely unsolvable games in this world. "
"Somewhere in the game, there must be a clue to the completion of the mission hidden at some point."
Tang Er struck a chord.
Pledge and Mobilization Conference.
The principal dressed in a suit walked up to the large grandstand directly across from the playground, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties who held up a microphone and looked around at the circle of students below with drooping eyelids and an indescribably haughty and annoyed demeanor:
"Good afternoon, everyone from Qiao Mu High School."
"Originally, our pep rally was supposed to be held thirty days before the college entrance exams, but as I'm sure you all know, something happened some time ago and a student reported it to the education department, so the pressure exerted by various parties forced us to give the entire school a week's vacation."
"After you guys came back, I thought about it and decided to call this year's pep rally early."
This principal swept a mean look from each student's face:
"Students, do you know why I'm calling this pep rally early?"
There was silence down there, all heads bowed, as if the teacher had asked a question out of the blue in class tacitly resisting the question.
"The purpose of my convening this pep rally in advance-" this principal tapped the microphone twice, and with a shrill buzzing sound coming from the speakers, he jerked his voice up and insulted, "- -is to warn some ill-minded seniors to take their minds back to their studies!"
"You guys are really bold." The expression on the principal's face became more and more sinister as his eyes roamed over the faces of each senior with their heads bowed, like snakes spitting out their letters and wanting to bite, "I've asked the teachers in each class to emphasize over and over and over again not to associate the school with those seniors who committed suicide at home, and not to just go out there and talk nonsense about how many or how many seniors have died in Qiao Mu High School. "
"You guys are so good, someone went straight to the education department and forced us to take a week's vacation."
"Having fun, huh?"
The principal sneered, "I just want to tell this student that you have wasted a week of study time for the entire senior class, and if any of the kids in this class don't get into the college of their choice as they wish, you are the guilty party."
"Now I'm going to give you a chance to change your ways, three minutes, stand up for yourself and don't force me to reason one by one."
There were a few brief commotions down there, and one of the classes stirred, and a boy was grabbed out of the crowd in tears, crying, "I didn't report it, I didn't report it!"
The man next to him pointed at the boy and shouted, "He's the one who reported it, Principal!"
"Have this student come to my principal's office alone later." The principal indifferently gave the order.
The boy cried piteously and was dragged away.
The principal put his hands behind his back and walked around the stage like a patrol a few times, stopping in the middle as he looked down at the stage and narrowed his eyes, "I know, you guys think that the death of those seventeen seniors scares you."
"But the deaths of these seventeen seniors have nothing to do with Qiao Mu High School, all of them committed suicide at home, so don't let me hear any more rumors and gossip going around that these seventeen students who are already dead will affect the college entrance exams of the more than 2,000 of you kids who are still alive."
"They're dead, they can't take the entrance exams anymore, but you still have to!"
The principal snapped, "There are only fifty days until the entrance exams, so I hope you figure out what's important in your lives, these seventeen losers who committed suicide at home by themselves because of the stress of the entrance exams, or you warriors who overcame the stress and are about to go on the exams!"
There was a pin drop on the stage, and the principal, who seemed quite pleased with this deterrent and effect he had created, nodded:
"Okay, next, please invite Lu Yizhan, who scored 687 points overall in the second model of this senior year, ranked second in age and second in the city, to come up to the stage to speak and make a mobilization speech for the college entrance examination and lead you all to take the oath."
"A round of applause, everyone."
After this principal finished speaking he himself first led the applause, and from the right step of the grandstand walked up a young boy with a straight figure and wearing a school uniform, who smoothly walked up to the stage to take the microphone in the principal's hand, and did not greet the principal in any way, but instead directly turned his head to look at the students below and politely nodded his head in greeting.
The gesture was like the principal wasn't a principal, just a staff member who gave him a microphone.
The principal's face sank slightly, but he walked on.
The young boy looked up, his brow square and warm, his school uniform clean and neatly worn, his sleeves pulled up to his elbows, and he unfolded the speech in his hand in an orderly fashion:
"I have two things to say in response to the report and the tragic loss of seventeen high school students that the superintendent just talked about."
Lu Yizhan raised his eyes, and there was even a bit of a clear, elegant smile on his face, but it didn't reach the bottom of his eyes:
"Number one, the person who reported it was me."
"Second, the seventeen students who died were not losers, but victims."
