Bai Liu calmly changed the subject: "We'll talk about the poor and excellent students later. Let's discuss the important things first. The main task requires us to get the first place in the college entrance examination, but this task has a serious loophole - it does not give a time limit."

Mu Sicheng curiously asked, "What is the time limit?"

"Time to complete the mission." Mu Ke, wearing glasses, appeared among them at some point and analyzed seriously, "The main mission does not give us a deadline to complete the mission."

"Damn, when did you come here!" Mu Sicheng jumped in fright.

Mu Ke pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said in a light tone: "Jia Yi and I came here together. We are both top students."

Mu Sicheng: "..."

Damn, I feel like I’m being implied. It’s so great to be an excellent student!

"Isn't there a fifty-day countdown to the college entrance exam?" Mu Sicheng asked in confusion. He opened the system panel, pointed at the information on it and asked, "The main mission is to get the first place in the school in the college entrance exam, so the deadline for completing the mission should be fifty days."

Mu Ke said tactfully: "It was just a countdown to the college entrance examination. It didn't directly say that it was the deadline for completing the task."

"The mission deadline can't be less than fifty days." Mu Sicheng muttered, "Otherwise, how can I take the college entrance examination..."

Mu Sicheng gradually closed his mouth under the deep gazes of the other three people, and then he couldn't help but utter a retort: ​​"No, if it wasn't fifty days, how could this mission be completed?"

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

[System prompt: Congratulations to player Mu Sicheng for unlocking the hidden information of the main mission of the dungeon - [Mission Deadline]. ]

[The main mission has been changed to: Players must achieve the highest score in the college entrance examination within seven days.]

Mu Sicheng: "..."

Mu Sicheng snorted, and angrily slapped his system panel back: "Seven days, I haven't even finished the third mock exam yet, how come I got the first place in the whole school in the college entrance examination!"

"Don't talk like you'll definitely get first place in the college entrance exam in fifty days." Liu Jiayi glanced at Mu Sicheng speechlessly, then continued to look at Bai Liu and said, "In addition to the mission deadline, there is another very troublesome point for us to complete the main mission."

"That's the College Entrance Examination itself." Liu Jiayi's face darkened. "Although the system has assigned me the status of an outstanding student, I don't have the relevant high school knowledge, which means that I can't play a role in the College Entrance Examination."

Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng and said, "What about you? If I let you take the college entrance examination now, how much can you score? Can you still score more than 600 points?"

"..." Mu Sicheng sighed, his arrogance rarely subsided. He turned his head away and scratched the back of his neck, and replied in a low voice, "300 or 400 points, I have almost forgotten everything."

Bai Liu looked at Mu Ke.

Mu Ke pursed his lips and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I went to high school abroad. I haven't taken the national college entrance examination, so I may not be able to score very high."

Liu Jiayi took a deep breath: "Bai Liu, how much can you score? You said that your college entrance examination score was more than 100 points lower than Mu Sicheng's. What about now? Your memory is better than Mu Sicheng's. You should not forget high school knowledge so quickly. If you can still get the same score now, you should be able to score higher than Mu Sicheng..."

Bai Liu calmly interrupted Liu Jiayi and said, "It should still be more than a hundred points lower now."

Noticing the silence and gazes of the people around him, Bai Liu spoke calmly, "Don't be so serious for now. Things are not at the end of their rope yet. There are solutions to the game, and we still have a chance."

Mu Sicheng's eyes lit up: "Bai Liu, what else can you do?"

Bai Liu calmly analyzed with his chin on his hand: "Do you think Captain Tang is the top scorer in the college entrance examination in his province?"

Liu Jiayi: “…”

This is completely like treating a dead horse as if it were alive and giving random medical treatment.

Their team is finished.

"The top scorer in the college entrance examination?" Tang Erda looked in disbelief at the group of team members who found him, immediately cornered him, and interrogated him viciously.

Tang Erda thought for a while and replied seriously: "Probably not. I have never taken the college entrance examination."

Mu Sicheng gritted his teeth and punched Tang Er's hard chest in despair: "How come you haven't taken the college entrance examination?"

"I have been training at the Heretic Management Bureau, so I don't have to take the college entrance exam. We are taking the exam for promotion to the Department of Heretic Management Bureau." Tang Erda reluctantly took away Mu Sicheng's fist that was on his chest. "I have good grades for promotion, but I really haven't learned any specialized high school knowledge."

Mu Sicheng was still unwilling to give up, he pressed, "Then maybe you are a genius in the college entrance examination?

"What was your score in the second mock exam in this copy?" Bai Liu asked pointedly.

Tang Erda clenched his fist and coughed awkwardly. He straightened his back and said with a heavy attitude as if he felt guilty: "507 points, that's too low, right..."

Bai Liu grabbed Tang Erda's hands and said sincerely, "Captain Tang, you are the hope of our entire team in this instance."

Tang Erda: “……?”

After Mu Ke sorted out the information he had obtained about each person and told Tang Erda, Tang Erda finally understood what Bai Liu meant. He looked around at everyone with a somewhat amused look: "I never thought that I would be the one with the highest score."

"But before the critical mission of [College Entrance Examination], I think the time limit is more difficult to deal with." Tang Er frowned as he looked at the two words [Seven Days] added to the main mission on the system panel. "It's only April 25th in seven days. We've been trying to meet the deadline, but at the last minute, there are still 43 days left before the college entrance examination. How can we take the college entrance examination?"

“This is totally unexplainable.”

Bai Liu raised his eyes, and stared at Tang Erda with dark eyes: "There is no game in this world that is completely unsolvable."

"There must be a clue to completing the mission hidden at a certain node in the game."

Tang Erda was stunned.

Oath-taking and mobilization meeting.

The principal, dressed in a suit and tie, walked up to the big stand facing the playground. He was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. He held up the microphone and looked around at the students below with drooping eyelids. He looked indescribably arrogant and irritable:

"Good afternoon to all students from Qiaomu High School."

"Originally, our mobilization meeting was supposed to be held 30 days before the college entrance examination, but as you all know, some things happened some time ago and some students reported it to the education department. So under pressure from all sides, we were forced to give all students a week off."

"After you came back, I thought about it and decided to hold this year's mobilization meeting in advance."

The principal glanced at each student with a harsh look:

"Classmates, do you know why I want to hold this mobilization meeting in advance?"

There was total silence, and everyone lowered their heads, expressing their tacit resistance to the question as if the teacher had suddenly asked the question during class.

"The purpose of my holding this mobilization meeting ahead of time—" The principal slapped the microphone twice. A harsh buzzing sound came from the speaker. He suddenly raised his voice and cursed, "—is to warn some high school students who have bad intentions to put their minds back on studying!"

"You are so brave." The expression on the principal's face became more and more vicious. His eyes wandered over the faces of every senior student who lowered their heads, like a snake spitting out its tongue and wanting to bite. "I asked the teachers of each class to repeatedly emphasize, repeatedly emphasize not to link the school with those senior students who committed suicide at home, and not to go out and say how many senior students died in Qiaomu High School."

"You guys are so lucky. Someone reported this to the Education Department and forced us to take a week off."

"You had fun, didn't you?"

The principal sneered and said, "I just want to tell this student that you have wasted a week's study time of all the senior high school students in the school. If any child in this class fails to get into the university of their choice, you will be a sinner."

"I'm giving you a chance to reform now. Three minutes. Stand up on your own and don't force me to argue with you one by one."

There was a brief commotion below, and then one class of students started to riot. A boy was pulled out of the crowd crying, shouting, "It wasn't me who reported it! It wasn't me who reported it!"

The people next to him pointed at the boy and shouted, "He was the one who reported it, Principal!"

"Ask this student to come to my office alone later." The principal gave the order coldly.

The boy was dragged away, crying miserably.

The principal put his hands behind his back and walked around the stage several times like a patrol. He stopped in the middle and narrowed his eyes at the people below the stage. "I know you feel scared by the death of those 17 senior high school students."

"But the deaths of these 17 senior high school students have nothing to do with Qiaomu High School. They all committed suicide at home. Please don't let me hear rumors that are spreading everywhere and let these 17 dead students affect the college entrance examinations of more than 2,000 children who are still alive."

"They are already dead, they can no longer take the college entrance examination, but you still want to!"

The principal shouted, "There are only fifty days left before the college entrance examination. I hope you can figure out what is the most important thing in your life. Is it the seventeen losers who committed suicide at home because of the pressure of the college entrance examination, or you, the warriors who have overcome the pressure and are about to enter the examination hall!"

You could hear a pin drop below the stage. The principal seemed quite satisfied with the intimidation and effect he had created. He nodded:

"Okay, next, please invite Lu Yizhan, who scored 687 points in the second mock exam and ranked second in his age group and the city, to come to the stage to give a speech, to give a mobilization speech for the college entrance examination, and to lead everyone in taking the oath."

"Everyone applaud and welcome."

After the principal finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding. A young boy in school uniform with an upright figure walked up from the right stairs of the stands. He walked steadily onto the stage and took the microphone from the principal. Without saying hello to the principal, he turned to look at the students below and nodded politely.

This attitude is like the principal is not the principal, but just a staff member who handed him the microphone.

The principal's face darkened slightly, but he still walked away.

The young boy raised his head. His features were clear and gentle. He was dressed neatly in his school uniform, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He methodically unfolded the speech in his hand:

"Regarding the report the principal just mentioned and the tragic death of 17 high school students, I have two points to make."

Lu Yizhan raised his eyes, and there was even a gentle and elegant smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes:

"First, I was the one who reported it."

"Second, the 17 students who died were not losers, but victims."
