Chapter 128 Lack of ambition, unwilling to fall behind



She didn't have high expectations; she just wanted something that wouldn't make her sleepy, something she could roughly understand.

I believe that if this is the case, the system will not give her a low score.

So she picked up a... junior high school math book.

She felt that her current level was fine, and the book wasn't too difficult for her to read; it perfectly met her current needs!

She's incredibly clever; her logic is flawless.

At least that's what she thinks.

"That's going too far with your perfunctory attitude." The system's voice was somewhat cold; it had zero tolerance for her sly and cheating behavior.

This made Gu Luoqi feel a little guilty, and her tone wasn't as assertive as before, "I feel like this is all I'm capable of..."

Of course, what she thought was often just what she thought; the system never thought so.

"Then you can wait for your punishment." The system seemed to regain its composure in an instant.

"Punishment? What kind of punishment?" Gu Luoqi was a little stunned. She hadn't heard this word since she bound herself to the system.

"If the host is truly at this level, then I will have to re-verify the host's basic information. In order for the host to reach the required level in a short period of time, I will have to re-formulate the learning assistance plan, including but not limited to shortening sleep time in the short term, stipulating rest time, and limiting when a certain subject should be studied." The system rattled off a bunch of things, but every word still reached Gu Luoqi's ears.

Gu Luoqi was startled. It seemed that the system had been too lenient with her lately, making her forget its mandatory management.

Moreover, judging from her tone, it seemed much stricter than before. This couldn't go on; if things continued like this, she would want to die.

"...No need, I think I'm quite capable now. I was just being modest just now," she said with a forced smile.

Seeing that she had become more serious, the system stopped threatening her. Of course, what it said wasn't exactly threatening; it just generally didn't approve of forcing growth. As long as she didn't cross its boundaries, it was a relatively easygoing system. But recently, this girl had been recklessly testing the limits of what was right, so it couldn't hold back.

"But System, what exactly is this 'stipulated level' you mentioned?" Gu Luoqi asked, seeing that the system's anger had subsided somewhat. He couldn't help but inquire about the information it had mentioned.

"I have my own set of criteria for judging the host's level," the system said in a slightly indifferent voice.

Of course, this appearance wasn't aggressive at all towards Gu Luoqi, who was shameless. She continued to ask with a fawning smile, "What standards?"

She started to make a plan in her mind. Once she found out the system's standards, she could try to fake it and get the system to rate her a little higher, so that she could relax a bit more in her daily life.

"You don't need to worry about this host." The system kept its mouth shut.

However, this was not because it didn't want to tell Gu Luoxi, but because of its procedures. Even if it explained, she probably wouldn't understand, so it was better not to say anything and avoid causing her unnecessary trouble.

"Fine, I won't tell you then," Gu Luoqi thought to herself, knowing that she would find out sooner or later.

"By the way, host, I'm happy to inform you that you have an exam next week," the system continued.

"What exam?" Gu Luoqi really couldn't remember when she had an exam.

She recalled that the teacher did not make any announcement in class, nor was there any notice in the class group chat.

And is this a pleasant thing? How come she didn't know?

"This is not your exam, but an online assessment from me," the system explained.

Gu Luoqi's heart suddenly clenched; her intuition told her that this matter was not simple.

Moreover, this is too rushed. Why wasn't the notification given earlier? The system gave her the feeling that it was forcing her to do things.

“You’ve never mentioned this before.” She seemed somewhat troubled.

However, this was clearly intentional on the part of the system. It had its own considerations and did not want to give Gu Luoqi a last-minute cramming opportunity. "This way, the assessment will be the most authentic, and I can keep up with your progress."

"Oh, I see." Gu Luoqi seemed relaxed and casual, but she was inevitably a little nervous, even more so than when they took their usual offline exams.

Because their offline exams might involve a bit of luck and other factors, but the system is different; it has a complete set of methods to deal with her.

"You don't need to be too nervous. As long as you put your heart into it, the result won't be too bad," the system reassured you.

However, its words clearly had no effect, and instead brought Gu Luoqi a new, albeit not insignificant, pressure.

Has she been putting in the effort?

not necessarily.

Anyway, she did complete her usual study tasks, but was this really the result of her hard work?

It's probably just the result of being pushed along by the system.

Thinking about all this, her heart sank. What if the system would kill her if she didn't do well on the assessment?

But then she felt a moment of confusion, as if her goal was too unattainable for her, and for a moment she even felt a little sad.

She always knew what kind of person she was.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, she lacked ambition but was unwilling to fall behind.

This is true.
