"Is this the result of your tutoring? Didn't you tell us when you came back that there was nothing taught in class, just slides?"
"Did you go there again later? Didn't you just go once, for a total of five hours?"
"Oh my god, have you finally given up on cheating? How did you get around the surveillance cameras in the exam room?"
The chattering of his classmates reached Lan Zhong's ears, while he was staring blankly at the results board displayed on his personal terminal.
Lan retested the exam and scored 89 out of 100. He had failed the last exam two months before.
The age of interstellar people is calculated according to their race. The shortest is 200 years old, and the longest can even reach more than 500 years old. There are also a few long-lived species.
The time is long, and naturally there's a lot to learn. A single subject encompasses a vast amount of knowledge, and to improve from failing to passing in a short period of time is not something that can be accomplished in just five hours, unless one possesses A-level mental power.
Unfortunately he is not.
Not only his classmates but also his tutors had doubts about his grades.
However, after checking all the electronic surveillance cameras in the academy, no problems were found. This was a serious problem. If someone discovered a loophole in the surveillance camera and tampered with the data, the school's safety and academic performance would be jeopardized.
We can't just let this go.
After several instructors discussed it, they decided to call Lan Chong to their office to find out what was going on with him.
It was a test; you couldn't just ask him straight out if he cheated. The instructors were also very gentle, picking out questions on the test that might have been wrong and asking about them one by one, including questions that had been covered in recent days but hadn't appeared on the test.
Although Lan Zhong stumbled, his answers weren't difficult. While not entirely correct, his thinking was certainly sound. With several pairs of eyes watching, he remained accurate. Judging by this, his performance was worthy of his grade.
Seeing that it was not cheating, the tutor felt relieved: "I noticed that you have made great progress recently. You must have put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes. Do you mind sharing your experience of hard work with everyone?" This was the result of his own hard work, and it was necessary to share this example to give other students some encouragement.
But Lan Zhong himself was still confused: "I didn't do anything, just like usual?"
"You mean, if I just listen carefully in class, my grades will improve?"
“…” That’s not what he meant.
"If there's anything different from usual, it's probably because my father hired a senior from H Academy to tutor me."
The instructor suddenly realized that this was the right approach. Given Lan Zhong's financial situation, if he had hired a student from H College to tutor him for the two months between his last exam and this one, he would have achieved this result. This approach would be difficult for other students to emulate, and it couldn't be shared.
As soon as he left the teacher's office, Lan Zhong was pulled aside by his friend who was squatting outside the door: "Are you okay?"
"without."
"How did you do that?" my friend winked.
"What happened?" Lan Zhong asked in confusion.
His friend slapped him and said, "It's an exam, why are you pretending?"
"Go to hell, I really took the test myself. How can we avoid the surveillance cameras? If I could do that, why would I still be taking classes here?"
"Is it really because of the exorbitantly expensive cram school you attended? What on earth happened there?"
"Impossible! Didn't I tell you when I came back? I didn't even see the other person. They used holographic sleep cabin courseware. They said it was a private course, not open to the public online. I've taken so many tutoring classes, and I didn't feel any difference when I was learning. I even asked my dad to refund the money for the remaining three classes, but I don't know if he got it back."
Indeed, in Lan Zhong's memory, he had only completed five hours of tutoring. He had used a holographic sleep chamber the entire time and hadn't felt tired. Therefore, he concluded that the courseware was even a low-end version, not even allowing him to use the time-stretching technology.
As we all know, time extension techniques have a drawback. While they can be extended to three times the maximum, they do place a certain strain on mental strength. For those with A-level or higher mental strength, there are virtually no side effects. However, those with mental strength below A-level will experience dizziness after using them, and the lower the mental strength level, the more severe the dizziness.
Recent technology has matured and can greatly reduce the burden. The dizziness does not last too long. Most of the time stretching techniques will produce about 2 minutes of dizziness for every hour of use.
But when Lan Zhong emerged from his sleeping pod, he felt refreshed and in great shape. Furthermore, his own memory had only been working for five hours. Five hours was just enough to review the course's exam points. He was definitely going to ask for a full refund.
After much thought, Lan Zhong came to a conclusion: "Could it be that my mental power has suddenly upgraded and my memory has improved?"
"Then I have to find time to take the test again!" He did not forget to send a copy of the report card to his father, hoping that his father would give him an increase in pocket money.
Not long after, Eryi sold another 20-hour course on the tutoring platform, deducted a 2% handling fee, and earned 58,800 credit points.
Eryi clicked on the information: "It's him. Let's see which subject he wants to make up for this time. I'll arrange time for him and prepare the courses first..." During the first tutoring session, she deliberately chose a relatively simple course that could be quickly improved by memorizing, in order to make him a repeat customer.
As a student with a C- in mental strength, Lan Zhong had average academic qualifications and a well-off family, so he didn't have a lack of resources to study hard. There was only one reason for poor grades: laziness.
Normal online courses are useless for dealing with lazy people. He has no interest in learning, and while he's not completely unable to absorb the lessons, achieving excellence is certainly difficult.
The holographic nutrition cabin in the interstellar plane can only control the displayed images, but cannot interfere with what the user does.
But medical sleeping pods are different.
How many people can control their dreams? Lan Zhong only remembered memorizing a lot of test points in five hours, completely forgetting that he had repeated the same thing fifty times.
The intense repetition of information within a short period of time, coupled with the nutrient solution's stabilizing effect on his mental strength, forcibly imprinted the knowledge into his brain. Furthermore, using the sleep pod had a lasting calming effect, and if he continued studying during this period, his concentration would be greatly improved.
…
Earning credits through exorbitant tuition fees wasn't Eryi's original intention; his other skills simply weren't being used. The higher the plane, the more advanced the abilities and knowledge possessed by its inhabitants. Common skills like healing wounds and removing toxins weren't a big deal for interstellar beings.
Marrow cleansing isn't particularly useful for interstellar beings, as their bodies have already been genetically modified and are in excellent condition. They typically only consume nutrient solutions and rarely consume any other unpleasant substances. More importantly, interstellar beings prioritize their mental strength over their physical body.
When it comes to mental strength, the most effective thing is the medical sleeping cabin.
She hadn't initially thought she could actually sell the 3,000 credits per hour course. But the nutrient solution was incredibly expensive, and given the purchasing power of interstellar credits, there was no telling what she could buy with 3,000 credits.
There are almost no things on the Academy Star that can replace energy values.
But fortunately, the universe is vast enough. As long as she has enough credits, she can send a spaceship to any planet and obtain local resources. As long as she has enough credits, she can even purchase an entire planet.
This is exactly what Eryi wants.
The entire planet can not only be exchanged for energy, but also serve as nutrients for the Three Thousand Worlds, making it the perfect choice.
The reputation of Eryi Tutoring School gradually spread among parents. Although these parents and students did not understand what exactly happened during the tutoring, the results were good and quick.
Students who have studied hard for a long time in their dreams will forget almost everything that happened after waking up. They are not opposed to such "simple, fast and convenient" tutoring.
Word of mouth also improved.
"Subjects that have been remedial will not need to be remedial for a long time."
"I don't hide anything from students. I summarize all the test points and I won't keep students hanging and waste money." Although I charge a lot at one time, if you look at the results, it's even more cost-effective than ordinary one-on-one private tutoring.
"It's just very mysterious. I heard that you can't even see the instructor during class, and you don't know who is teaching."
"Maybe social anxiety."
As word of this spread, it became increasingly popular. Not only students with poor academic performance would choose to take tutoring courses, but even colleagues and even instructors at certain colleges became curious and decided to spend a huge amount of money to purchase the courses to try them out.
Ke Eryi's knowledge is enough to teach ordinary students from other schools, but it is not enough for students or tutors from the same college.
Although it would have been possible to simply have them watch other students' courseware, since they already knew these things, even if they learned them, it wouldn't be effective. This would likely affect their reputation, so Eryi came up with a new strategy.
Let them take art classes.
This does not need to be imported into Eryi. There are built-in clips in the sleeping cabin materials. Just cut them out and play them repeatedly.
The success of art classes depends entirely on the individual; even a child who sketches for fifty hours straight will see improvement. Not to mention, the mental abilities of the H Academy instructors and students are all above average for interstellar people. One instructor, after emerging from his sleep pod, actually learned to hand-felt wool, and his deft hands can create realistic-looking mecha parts.
Through this relationship, Eryi's personal information gradually came into the sight of certain individuals. There must be something wrong with her courseware or her sleeping pod.
It must be said that the civilization in the star region where Eryi lived was well developed. Even if someone discovered something was wrong with her, no one came to rob her.
In the interstellar age, it's common for people to develop new things, and no researcher would let their research and development be buried in the world. If this technology is to be available to the entire interstellar world, it must be promoted through various channels.
Those who coveted the technology that Eryi possessed began to extend olive branches to her.
