Ren Xiaosu asked Yang Xiaojin softly, "What's university life like?"
Yang Xiaojin thought for a moment and said, "Classes are relatively free, but the exams are very strict. There aren't many students enrolled, and most of the students will continue their research with their instructors after graduation. It's said that universities used to be very lax, but they're slowly recruiting fewer and fewer subjects. Now, they're more like a research base. There are about 20 universities in the 100-odd strongholds, and the people in charge of these universities are starting to streamline their students and organizations. Then they're focusing all their efforts on making breakthroughs in certain areas of research. "
"Oh." Ren Xiaosu nodded. "Do the students get any subsidies?"
"Mhm …" Yang Xiaojin suddenly realized she was playing the lute to a cow. She had said so much, but Ren Xiaosu's main concern was actually whether the students got any subsidies? She said calmly, "There's no subsidies."
"Are you serious?" Ren Xiaosu did not believe her.
Yang Xiaojin said softly, "You're not cut out for scientific research, so don't go and harm the university students."
"Look at what you're saying!" Ren Xiaosu said unhappily, "Who am I harming?!"
Yang Xiaojin could not be bothered with him anymore. Jiang Wu, who was onstage, said, "If you want to get into Stronghold 109's university, there are only four subjects — math, physics, chemistry, and biology. Each subject is worth 150 points. Last year's admission cutoff was 560 points. In other words, if you want to get into university, you'll have to score 140 points or more in each subject."
Ren Xiaosu gasped. He had done a mock exam the day before yesterday, and he only scored 140 points in total for the four subjects.
He looked at Yang Xiaojin. "How can I score 140 points in each subject?"
Yang Xiaojin gave him a look. "Just do two fewer multiple-choice questions."
Ren Xiaosu was speechless.
Ren Xiaosu was confused. What right did a slacker like you, who did not listen in class, have to pretend to be a good student?! Aren't we on the same level as each other?
But at this moment, Ren Xiaosu felt that something was wrong. He suddenly asked the palace in his mind, "What's Yang Xiaojin's level in mathematics?"
"Intermediate."
Upon hearing the palace's words, he became happy. Although this intermediate student was definitely stronger than him, he was definitely not a good student.
Wait a minute!
Ren Xiaosu changed his question and asked, "What was Yang Xiaojin's high school mathematics level?"
"Perfect."
Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized that after he added the word "high school", the result was immediately different! In fact, high school mathematics could only be regarded as the most basic mathematics project …
"What was Yang Xiaojin's high school physics level?"
"Perfect."
"Yang Xiaojin's high school chemistry … Forget it, I won't ask anymore." Ren Xiaosu sulked. Previously, as a slacker, when he saw Yang Xiaojin sleeping every day, he felt warm at the thought of someone being at the bottom of the class with him.
But at this moment, he realized he was the only slacker in this classroom.
Whenever a person felt the loneliest, it was at this moment.
Yang Xiaojin glanced at him and suddenly asked, "Do you want to go to university?"
Ren Xiaosu said, "I'm not worthy."
Yang Xiaojin was speechless.
…
On the second day of the exam, Ren Xiaosu first found his exam hall. Then he looked around and saw that there was no one he knew in the entire classroom.
Regarding today's exam, Ren Xiaosu came with the attitude of participating in it. The results were not important. What was important was that he had been there.
In the past, there were also exams at the school in town. However, those were conducted by Zhang Jinglin in the form of questions. But here, they had to hand out the exam papers.
Ren Xiaosu felt that Zhang Jinglin had asked the students questions one by one purely to save money on paper. After all, paper was not cheap these days.
If Zhang Jinglin knew this was how Ren Xiaosu felt about him, who knew what he would feel.
At this moment, a girl sitting behind Ren Xiaosu patted him on the shoulder. "Classmate?"
Ren Xiaosu turned around and looked at the girl. "What's the matter?"
"Um … How are your studies going? Can I copy the exam papers? "The girl's communication skills were quite strong. She immediately started chatting with Ren Xiaosu.
The school had separated everyone to prevent their acquaintances from cheating. But this did not stop everyone's enthusiasm for cheating.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu's mind palace suddenly said, "Quest: Help a classmate finish writing the exam papers."
Ren Xiaosu was shocked. He could not even tell if the palace's values were right or wrong. Why would it even help him cheat?
But for Ren Xiaosu, as long as there was a quest to complete, nothing was a problem.
Ren Xiaosu looked at the girl and said, "Don't worry and just copy mine!"
The girl beamed. "Thank you!"
"Gratitude received from Li Mo, + 1!"
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself that this was killing two birds with one stone. Not only could he complete the quest, but he could also get gratitude tokens.
When it was time for the exam, Li Mo was pleasantly surprised. She observed Ren Xiaosu from behind and realized that Ren Xiaosu was writing at a very fast speed. He actually filled up the exam papers. This was a good student!
Halfway through the exam, Ren Xiaosu suddenly stepped aside, and Li Mo immediately started copying.
When she finished copying in satisfaction, the bell for the end of class finally rang. The teacher came over and collected everyone's exam papers.
Li Mo looked at Ren Xiaosu happily and said, "I didn't expect you to finish all the questions. That's amazing. Do you know all of them?"
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "I don't know how to answer them."
Li Mo was speechless.
Whether he knew how to answer or not, he had to complete the quest first. The quest from the palace was to help a classmate finish writing the exam papers, so Ren Xiaosu could not leave the questions blank. What if he failed the quest if he missed a single question?
To be honest, it was quite tiring to write an entire sheet of exam papers.
When he got home at night, Ren Xiaosu suddenly saw his Sister Xiaoyu waiting at the entrance of the shop. When Sister Xiaoyu saw Ren Xiaosu, it was as though she had seen her savior. "Xiaosu, you're finally back. Old Wang has been taken away?"
Ren Xiaosu frowned. "What happened? Tell me slowly."
"A lot of people from the Public Order Division came to the shop today." Sister Xiaoyu explained, "They said we didn't get a permit from the stronghold to sell the medicine, and there were doctors in the shop who didn't get their medical licenses. So they wanted to arrest the person in charge."
Ren Xiaosu heaved a sigh of relief. Although Old Wang's arrest was also a big deal, it was fine as long as it did not involve supernatural beings.
What he was most worried about was that his secret would be exposed at some point. If that happened, the Li Consortium would target him. That would really be a big deal.
"Did they say anything before they left?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"The people from the Public Order Division said you'll have to make a trip to them when you get back," Sister Xiaoyu said.
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "There's no hurry. Fatty Luo will probably come to the shop tonight. I'll have to ask him what's going on."
He also wanted to get Wang Fugui out of jail as soon as possible, but he could not be rash in handling this matter. He had to clarify the situation with Luo Lan first before he knew what to do.
