"It really does look like it..." The high-dimensional being disguised as an aboriginal seemed to be looking at someone through Cheng Zhu.
"Huh?" Cheng Zhu was a little confused, but time was of the essence; she only had ten minutes. She quickly asked the question that concerned her most: "What's wrong with the elevator? How do I escape from here?"
Didn't I say last time that it was already the second day?
Instead of answering directly, the other person asked a completely unrelated question, and finally sighed softly, "You should have gone to school earlier."
"But the entrance exam is tomorrow..." Cheng Zhu had made a study plan for today, but the accident in the communal kitchen and the elevator fall at the hospital almost made her forget her original plan. Although Ya said that even if she didn't pass the exam, she could still get into the school, Cheng Zhu's damn pride made her unable to accept that she had failed and entered the school through connections.
Moreover, with such a great learning opportunity, she would naturally make the most of it.
Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes.
Beep beep beep.
Cheng Zhu suddenly heard the system's voice, and then a semi-transparent dialog box popped up in front of his field of vision.
[System Notification: Christine, due to a sudden and severe pollution incident in Smart City, Slot High School has decided to move your entrance exam forward. Please confirm your entry to the school within five minutes of receiving this message.]
[Confirmation/Deniement]
Is there even a need to ask? Of course, it's confirmed!
Cheng Zhu's gaze lingered on the "Confirm" button for three seconds before it was automatically confirmed. A line with blue fluorescence flew out from the "Confirm" button, pierced Cheng Zhu's forehead, and quickly drew a six-pointed star magic circle pattern on her forehead.
"Bye-Bye."
The higher-dimensional being, using the skin of an indigenous person, smiled and waved at her.
The next second, Cheng Zhu disappeared from the crowded elevator and appeared in the harmonious campus where cherry blossoms were falling.
This is... a short-range instant teleportation array?
Cheng Zhu was once again shocked by the high technology of the Rules of Strange Tales. The gap between different worlds was so huge. If the Nine Provinces Kingdom had this level of technology, why would it not be able to unify Future Star? However, the live broadcast of Rules of Strange Tales was broadcast globally. As long as Cheng Zhu watched it, the whole world could see it. Whether he could get his hands on this technology was another matter. Even if he did, all countries could learn it directly. It was impossible to widen the gap in this aspect.
Cheng Zhu can only be said to be relatively good at science. If he were to actually look at those scientific principles that he is not familiar with, he would probably be completely confused.
"Christine? What's wrong?"
Ya has returned to normal, tilting her head to look at Cheng Zhu, seemingly having no memory of what happened in the elevator.
This is quite different from the public kitchen.
Is it only by saying specific things to the AI, such as "red alert," that it will trigger the AI to enter that pollution detection mode? Considering the safety of her wallet, Cheng Zhu decided not to try it for now. Anyway, she still has a chance to revive, which she can use as a last resort.
Cheng Zhu shook his head: "It's nothing, but I think I received a notice for Slot's entrance exam."
"That's right, a serious pollution outbreak suddenly occurred outside, so Slote High School made the last-minute decision to transfer all students to the school. Fortunately, Christine is an incoming inheritor, so she was brought in as well. It would have been troublesome if she had stayed outside."
Ya's face was full of relief at surviving the ordeal, which made Cheng Zhu even more suspicious.
The pollution could absolutely not have been caused by the Corbiters. The reason is simple: they simply don't have the power to be suppressed to that extent by the Smart City.
If a group whose power has been cut off could so easily create a super virus and contaminate the entire smart city's artificial intelligence, then they should have been equals with the smart city from the very beginning, instead of becoming scapegoats for the various conflicts within the smart city.
Cheng Zhu looked back at the empty school exterior and subconsciously touched the location of his smart chip: "So, let's go into the school first."
“Yes, Christine, there are still two hours until the entrance exam. We can find a place to rest first.” Ya quickly and cheerfully introduced the interior of Slot High School to her: “This is the largest and most authoritative high school in Wisdom City. It has a completely self-sufficient advanced system. Even if the outside world is polluted, there is never any need to worry about anything happening here!”
That's right, the most sophisticated anti-hacking methods often employ the simplest operation—disconnecting from the internet.
Cheng Zhu nodded in deep agreement.
To prevent enemy countries from stealing secrets, Future Star sometimes resorts to disconnecting the network cable. Without the network, no matter how advanced your hacking skills are, you will not be able to infiltrate the internal network and steal military secrets.
Slote High School uses an intranet that is not connected to the smart city's internet, which is why Ya said that.
This school has four campuses in the Smart City, located in the east, west, south, and north, each with a considerable area. The area where Cheng Zhu is taking the exam now is the north campus of Slote High School, which was also the original main campus.
If we disregard the pollution issue, Cheng Zhu would also find walking through the beautiful campus a wonderful experience.
This is much better than the hospital where almost no one is around. You can see students walking or playing on campus from time to time, which means that the system thinks that everyone has similar interests and a lot in common, so conflicts are less likely to occur.
This place seems to be similar to a normal Future Star School.
However, there shouldn't be any courses like military theory or social studies, since a smart city doesn't need war.
