Chapter 480: Qiao Mu Private High School

Bai Liu calmly changed the subject, "We'll talk about the poor students and the good students later, but let's discuss the important things first. The main quest requires us to get a first in the exams, but there's a serious loophole in the quest - it doesn't give a time limit."

Mu Sicheng followed up curiously, "What time limit."

"Time to complete the mission." Muke, wearing glasses, appeared among them at some point and analysed, rather seriously, "The main quest doesn't give us a time limit to complete it."

"Shit, when did you get here!" Mu Sicheng was startled and jumped.

Muke pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and spoke in a lighter tone, "I came with Jiayi, we're both special needs students."

Mu Sicheng: "......"

Shit, I feel connoted... special needs students are great!

"Isn't the countdown to the entrance exam fifty days?" Mu Sicheng asked with confusion as he clicked on the system panel and pointed to the information on it, "The main task is to be the top student in the college entrance examination, so the deadline for completing the task should be fifty days."

Muke says politely, "It's just a countdown to the exams, it doesn't directly say that it's a time limit for completion."

"The duration of the mission can't be less than fifty days, right?" Mu Sicheng muttered, "How else can you take the entrance exam ......"

Mu Sicheng gradually shut his mouth under the dark eyes of the other three men, then he couldn't help but lean back and retort, "No, how else could the mission be completed if it wasn't fifty days?"

"It can't be another seven days, can it?!"

[System Alert: Congratulations to player Mu Sicheng for unlocking the hidden information of the main quest of the copy - [Quest Duration].

[The main quest has been changed to: Please achieve the first place in the university entrance examination within seven days].

Mu Sicheng: "......"

Mu Sicheng let out a cry as he angrily slapped his system panel back: "Seven days, not even the third model yet, how am I going to top the whole school in the entrance exam!

"Don't talk as if you're going to be first in the entrance exams in 50 days." Liu Jiayi gave Mu Sicheng a breathless glance, and continued to look at Bai Liu, "Apart from this task deadline, there is another very troublesome point for us to complete the main task."

"That's the [entrance exam] itself." Liu Jiayi's face sank, "Although the system has assigned me the status of a special merit student, I don't have the relevant high school knowledge, which means that I can't function in the [Gao Kao] session itself."

Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng: "What about you, if you were to take the college entrance exam now, how much could you get? Can you still score over 600 points?"

"......" Mu Sicheng tsked, a rare deflation of his temper as he looked away and scratched the back of his neck, answering in a whisper, "Three or four hundred points, I think, it's all pretty much forgotten."

Bai Liu looking at Xiang Muke.

Muke pursed his lips and looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, I went to high school abroad, I didn't take the entrance exams at home, so I might not be able to get very high."

Liu Jiayi took a deep breath: " Bai Liu, how much can you get, you said at first that you were more than a hundred points lower than Mu Sicheng in the college entrance exam, now what? You have a better memory than Mu Sicheng, you shouldn't forget high school knowledge that fast, if you can still get the same score now, you should be able to get a higher score than Mu Sicheng ......"

Bai Liu calmly interrupts Liu Jiayi: "It should still be over a hundred points lower now."

Noticing the silent stares around him, Bai Liu spoke calmly: "Don't be so heavy for now, things haven't reached the end of the road, 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 analysed against his jaw, "Do you think Captain Tang could be the top student in their province?"

Liu Jiayi: "......"

This has been exactly the extent to which a dead horse is going around in disarray.

Their team, finished.

"A high achiever?" Tang Erda looked incredulously at the group of players who, having found him, immediately cornered him and pressed him viciously.

Tang Erda thought for a moment and replied seriously, "I don't think so, I didn't take the entrance exam."

Mu Sicheng hammered Tang Erda's hard chest with gritted teeth and despair, "How could you not have taken the entrance exam!"

"I've been training with the Heretic Authority, I don't have to take the entrance exams, we take the Heretic Processing Authority's promotion exams." Tang Erda helplessly removed Mu Sicheng's fist that was resting against his chest, "I did well in the promotion section, but I really didn't study specifically for high school."

Mu Sicheng was still reluctant to give up, he pressed, "So maybe you're a high school whiz?

"What was your second grade in this copy?" Bai Liu asked in a pinpoint manner.

Tang Erda gave a rare and somewhat awkward fist-clenching cough as he straightened his back and heaved his attitude as if he was feeling a little guilty, "507 points, that's too low isn't it ......"

Bai Liu took Tang Erda's hands in his and said sincerely, "Captain Tang, you are the hope of our Team Quan for this copy."

Tang Erda: "......?"

It was only after Muke had collated the information he had received from everyone and told Tang Erda what Bai Liu meant that he looked around at everyone with a bit of a smile on his face: "I never thought I would be the highest achiever."

"But before the crucial task of [Gao Kao], I think the issue of the time limit is more difficult to deal with." Tang Erda wrinkled her brow at the words [seven days] added to the main quest on the system panel, "Seven days from now it's only April 25th, and we're 43 days away from the college entrance exams even after we've fought off the last minute of the quest deadline, how are we going to take the college entrance exams?"

"It's completely insurmountable."

Bai Liu looked up, his eyes dark and flat as he gazed at Tang Erda: "There is no game in this world that is completely unsolvable. "

"There must be a clue to mission completion hidden at some point in the game."

Tang Erda is stunned.

The Pledge of Allegiance Conference.

The headmaster, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, held up a microphone and looked around the circle of students below him with a look of indescribable arrogance and annoyance: "The headmaster, who is dressed in a suit, walked up to the big stand directly opposite the playground.

"Good afternoon, everyone from Qiao Mu High School."

"Originally, our pep rally was supposed to be held just thirty days before the 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 whole school a week off."

"After you have returned, I have thought about it and decided to bring forward this year's pep rally."

This headmaster scanned the faces of each student with a mean look.

"Students, do you know why I'm calling this pep rally early?"

There was silence, all heads bowed, as if the teacher had asked a question out of the blue in class, and there was a tacit resistance to the question.

"The purpose of my calling this pep rally ahead of schedule--" this headmaster tapped the microphone twice, an ear-piercing buzzing sound came from the speakers, and he jerked his voice up, insulting, "--is to warn some misguided seniors to get their minds back on their studies! -is to warn some wrong-minded seniors to get their minds back on their studies!"

"You guys really have a lot of guts." The headmaster's face became increasingly sinister as his eyes wandered over the faces of every senior student with their heads bowed, like snakes spitting their letters and trying to bite, "I told the teachers in all classes to emphasize, over and over again, not to associate the school with those seniors who committed suicide at home, and not to just go outside and talk nonsense about how many, many seniors had died in Qiao Mu High School. "

"Good for you guys, someone stirred it right up to the education department and forced us to take a week off."

"Having a good time, are we?"

The headmaster sneered, "I just want to tell this student that you have wasted a week of study time for the entire senior class, and any kid in this class who doesn't get into the university of their choice as they should, you are a sinner."

"Now I'm going to give you a chance to reform, three minutes, stand up for yourself and don't force me to reason one by one."

There was a few brief commotions below, one class stirred up and a boy was caught 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, Headmaster!"

"Tell this student to come to my headmaster's office alone later." The headmaster gave the order indifferently.

The boy cried out piteously and was dragged away.

The headmaster put his hands behind his back and walked around the stage like a patrol a few times, stopping in the middle, he looked at the people on the stage and narrowed his eyes, "I know, you think the seventeen seniors who died scare you."

"But the deaths of these seventeen seniors, who had nothing halfway to do with Qiao Mu High School, all committed suicide at home, and don't let me hear any more gossip going around that these seventeen students who are already dead will affect the high school exams of the more than two thousand of you kids who are still alive."

"They're dead, they can't take the GCSEs anymore, but you have to!"

The headmaster bellowed, "With only fifty days to go until the exams, I hope you will figure out what is important in your lives, these seventeen losers who killed themselves at home because of the stress of the exams, or you warriors who have overcome the stress and are about to go to the exams!"

A pin drop could be heard on the stage and this headmaster seemed quite satisfied with this deterrent and effect he had created as he nodded.

"Okay, next, I'd like to invite Lu Yizhan, who scored 687 points overall in the second model of this year's senior year, ranking second in his age and second in the city, to come up to the stage to speak, give a speech to rally for the entrance exams and lead you in the pledge."

"A round of applause for everyone."

The headmaster himself led the applause when a young boy with a straight figure and school uniform came up from the right step of the stand. He walked smoothly up to the stage and took the microphone from the headmaster without any greeting to him, but turned his head directly to the students below and nodded politely.

The gesture was as if the headmaster wasn't a headmaster, but just a member of staff who gave him a microphone.

The headmaster's face sank slightly, but he walked on.

The young boy looked up, his brow clear and gentle, his uniform clean and neat, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and the speech in his hand unfolded in an orderly manner.

"I have two things to say in response to the report the headmaster just talked about and the tragic loss of seventeen high school students."

Lu Yizhan raised his eyes, and there was even a little breezy, elegant smile on his face, but it did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

"First, the person who reported it was me."

"Secondly, the seventeen students who died were not losers, but victims."
