School Rules
Maybe there is a limit on the number of people. After discovering a student last night, the dormitory manager calmed down. Today, when she caught a new roommate, she also left the dormitory, even though the expression on her face was very unwilling.
She still firmly believed that it was He Lizhou who caused her to faint, and refused to give up finding fault.
A peaceful night.
The next day, we woke up in a hurry to do morning exercises. After the exercises, the head teacher came in with a smile on his face, "Which student was the last to leave last night? Let me praise you. We are the only class in the school that remembers to turn off the lights and lock the doors when leaving."
The head teacher spoke very quickly and did not pause even when asking questions, and it was obvious that he had no intention of finding out who it was.
He simply "praised" the unknown classmate, then changed the subject, "I have good news for everyone. We will resume the weekly quizzes this weekend, so remember to take them seriously."
He Lizhou left and thought about the school rules that stipulated that there would be penalties for declining grades. This was the first time for the players to take the weekly test, so there would be no decline in grades, but what about next week?
Maybe you can get the lowest score possible and then slowly improve your grades to avoid punishment?
He Lizhou had just thought of this when the head teacher smiled at the podium, his pair of dark, lifeless eyes staring at the entire classroom. No matter where you sat, you would feel that you were being watched by him.
"Let's follow our previous rules. The bottom ten students in the weekly test will be punished."
This put an end to He Lizhou's restless thoughts. Sheng Ju had just left high school, Peng Ningyu was a college student, and he had graduated from college three years ago. He didn't know about Long Yao's situation.
If he and Peng Ningyu work harder during this period, they might be able to recover what they learned in high school.
As for Long Yao.
He Lizhou gently moved his head and glanced at Long Yao's seat. Seeing that he looked calm, he guessed that he should be fine.
I didn't expect that after many years of graduation, I would still have to face the difficulty of taking exams.
He Lizhou opened the book. He was good at liberal arts in high school, so it was relatively easy for him to pick up the subject again now.
Students at the No. 1 High School have to attend a morning self-study session before they can eat breakfast. After breakfast, they have morning reading, and only after morning reading do they start the full day’s classes.
He Lizhou reviewed the Chinese language during the morning self-study time.
They returned to school a little late yesterday. Even though Sheng Ju had left food for them, not having breakfast in the dungeon, a place that consumes a lot of physical and mental energy, was simply torture.
He Lizhou unscrewed the lid of the cup and prepared to drink some water to suppress his hunger. When he raised his head to drink the water, he caught a glimpse of something flashing past the back door of the classroom.
Before his brain could react, He Lizhou had already put down the cup of water. The next second, the head teacher outside the door pushed it open and walked in.
His eyes went straight to He Lizhou, and He Lizhou was very sure. But because he had put down the cup in advance, he was not caught by him, and the head teacher could only return empty-handed.
I can't even drink water.
He Lizhou muttered to himself, his eyes lowered to the book, as if he was studying seriously.
Only after the obvious presence behind him moved away did He Lizhou gently bend his waist to relax his stiff muscles.
After he left campus, he either lay in a rocking chair or leaned on the sofa. It had been a long time since he had sat on a hard bench.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long before the bell for the end of get out of class rang. This time, Sheng Ju was the first to stand up and rush out of the classroom, “Zhou Zhou, wait for me while I go buy you some food!”
He had experienced the fight for food last night and knew how difficult it was to get food here. The students left behind could only eat leftovers.
He Lizhou and Peng Ningyu quickly got up and followed.
Long Yao still sat in his seat and glanced in the direction where the few people left.
"Zhouzhou..."
He whispered the name, then smiled, "Are you the 'person in charge', the owner of the inn?"
He waited until most of the students in the classroom had left before he slowly walked out of the classroom and into the cafeteria.
Facing the students' gaze, Long Yao slowly pushed open the door marked "Teachers' Restaurant".
Sheng Ju: "How did he go there?"
Peng Ningyu took a look and could sense Long Yao's indifferent attitude towards them, so she didn't have a good impression of Long Yao. "Who knows, maybe he bribed the teacher."
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yao came out from there again and walked towards He Lizhou with a clear goal. He Lizhou met his gaze and put down the chopsticks in his hand.
Long Yao stopped not far in front of He Lizhou and said, "Hello, are you interested in having dinner in the teachers' restaurant?"
He glanced at the food on He Lizhou's table and said, "It's much richer and more delicious than the food here."
Sheng Ju didn't look very good.
He Lizhou didn't notice Sheng Ju. He raised his eyes and looked at Long Yao. Long Yao maintained his smile and posture, motionless.
Suddenly He Lizhou smiled and agreed softly, "Okay."
Long Yao then revealed a satisfied smile, "It's an honor to invite you."
This sentence was obviously not a conversation between "classmates". He Lizhou knew clearly that Long Yao had guessed that he was the "person in charge" specially announced by the system.
This is good. He Lizhou currently doesn't know Long Yao's character and stance. Now that he knows, he won't go crazy and interrogate him in order to find the special player.
The food in the teachers' cafeteria was indeed much more exquisite than that in the students' cafeteria. He Lizhou didn't hesitate. He was already hungry, so he sat down and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
Long Yao sat opposite him and put down his chopsticks after taking two bites. "I think you should know why I invited you here."
He Lizhou didn't even raise his eyelids. "If you don't eat, you'll be hungry in the morning."
The smile on Long Yao's lips froze a little because of these words, but soon returned to normal. "Don't you want to know how I got into the teacher's restaurant? This may be helpful to the group of players you lead."
He Lizhou put down his chopsticks after hearing this interview, and said thoughtfully, "Didn't you give them money?"
Yesterday Sheng Ju said that he saw Long Yao take out a card. Combined with his privileges today, it was reasonable for He Lizhou to guess that he was bribed with money.
Long Yao smiled mysteriously and held up a finger. "Money is only one aspect."
He paused, as if waiting for He Lizhou to urge him, but he didn't expect He Lizhou to just look at him quietly, so he had to continue speaking, "I signed an agreement with them. Three years later, I will be the top scorer in the province, and they have no right to control anything I do in school."
Three years, they will not waste three years here, that would be too stupid, so Long Yao’s agreement will definitely not be able to fulfill its promise, it is just a delaying tactic for convenience.
He Lizhou asked calmly: "What's the price? The price of failure."
Long Yao shrugged, "It will become the nourishment for the dungeon."
He seemed to be indifferent, but He Lizhou knew that since the other party came to him on his own initiative, he would not be as indifferent as he appeared.
It was an unexpected answer. He Lizhou understood what the other party wanted to say and shook his head. "I can't guarantee that the hotel can be transferred here. I haven't tried it."
Long Yao laughed out loud, "Mr. Manager, how can you know you can't do it if you don't try?"
His eyes were full of meaning. "You are different from those ordinary players. You have a unique 'life-saving secret', so I am willing to cooperate with you."
He Lizhou was silent for a while. He understood what Long Yao meant. Long Yao would go for it. He would try his best to search for clues without touching the bottom line of the NPC. If he failed, he needed He Lizhou to cover for him and ensure his safety.
The food on the plate had already turned cold and greasy, and He Lizhou stood up and said, "Happy cooperation then."
Long Yao seemed not surprised by this result. He held out his fist and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Manager."
He Lizhou dodged his punch with a little discomfort, but Long Yao didn't care. He smiled and took his hand back, "Let's go. If you don't leave now, you'll be late."
The two of them entered the classroom almost at the same time as the morning reading bell rang. Sheng Ju's eyes moved back and forth between He Lizhou and Long Yao, as if he wanted to see something, but he found nothing.
The more anxious you are, the slower time goes. Sheng Ju was scratching his ears and cheeks and could hardly wait any longer when the bell for the end of get out of class rang slowly.
Sheng Ju did not directly ask about the content of the conversation between the two, but started with Peng Ningyu, "Zhou Zhou, Sister Ningyu said that she was inexplicably transferred to another dormitory last night, but it was a girls' dormitory. There happened to be an empty seat in that room, so she temporarily occupied it for one night."
Once might be an accident, but twice wouldn't be the case. He Lizhou thought of the system saying that it couldn't interfere with things in the copy, so maybe it was the result of the copy's own adjustments?
But there were four people in total who entered this copy, so why did Peng Ningyu get picked in the one-on-one duel?
Because she was the only girl?
He Lizhou noted this and asked Peng Ningyu, "What else happened last night?"
Peng Ningyu shook her head first, then she paused as she thought of something, "One thing is, they all seem to ignore me."
Although He Lizhou was also treated coldly in the dormitory, his new roommate who moved in last night greeted him, but Peng Ningyu ignored everyone.
Is this also an automatic correction of the copy?
He had no idea for the time being, so he told the two of them about the deal between him and Long Yao. Sheng Ju didn't care, it would be better if someone took the lead to do dangerous things for them, but he was worried that He Lizhou would get hurt if he forcibly moved the hotel to the school.
He Lizhou had never tried to force the call. He was not the type to comfort others blindly, so he simply said, "I'm not sure what will happen. The worst result is that I will be trapped in the dungeon and assimilated. But there are other people in the inn, so if I can't get out, you must hold on to the inn."
Peng Ningyu nodded with a heavy heart. Although Sheng Ju was not happy, he agreed under the pressure of He Lizhou's gaze. However, no one knew what he was thinking.
Only then did they begin to understand the difficulty of this copy.
At first glance, it seems similar to the previous apartment copy, but it is blocked at every turn. You cannot leave the school to learn about the outside world, you don’t have enough time to find clues, and you even have to learn high school knowledge.
Fortunately, they all still have the basics. If Uncle Cui or a player who has forgotten the basics enters the dungeon, in a key high school where everyone is a top student, there is almost no possibility of escaping the bottom ten.
