Chapter 65
For Jiang Yunu at the moment, how much of a stir an automatically synchronized piece of game data could cause was not something she was considering at all.
Jiang Yunu is currently only focused on her school competitions and exams.
The intramural competition is held before the midterm exam, which is two weeks after the intramural competition. Engel's school team will depart the week after the midterm exam.
Jiang Yunu originally thought that as long as she balanced her preparations for the competition and her daily studies in the near future, and divided her time and energy evenly, she could do both. She could also find time on the weekends to go on the simulator once or twice.
As a new week arrived, teachers in the classroom began to remind us, intentionally or unintentionally, that the midterm exam would be at the end of the month. Res Daniel also reminded his class, "Although you've been taking theory classes since the start of the semester, and this midterm exam will focus on testing your theoretical understanding, this is, after all, your first major exam since you enrolled. I hope you all take it seriously."
Jiang Yunu listened to Reiss Daniel's words and secretly switched to a smaller screen on his personal terminal during class. He then pulled out her recent schedule to take a look.
Wow, it’s really full!
“…” Jiang Yunu closed her calendar again.
After class, Qiao Yisen was the first to notice Jiang Yunu's low pressure.
"What's wrong with you?" The red-haired boy was confused and nudged his friend with his arm in concern. "Did Mr. Lei's class today hurt you so much?"
"No." Jiang Yunu ignored Qiao Yisen's arm and walked side by side with him on the way to the next theory classroom. Her steps were steady, but her eyes were fixed.
"I was just thinking," Jiang Yunu said quietly, "How am I supposed to fit midterm exam review into my already busy schedule?"
Too full.
The schedule is really too full.
Jiang Yunu had forgotten that she also needed time to review for the midterm exam. Unexpectedly, triple study tasks were added to her, and she felt the pressure of "heavy academic workload" for the first time in a long time.
"I'm clearly in Enge." Jiang Yunu rearranged his schedule, trying to find a corner to squeeze in his exam review. After finishing, he took a deep breath at the even fuller schedule. "But honestly, I feel like I'm actually signing up for the 'Exam King' next door, and I have to study hard for competitions and school exam rankings."
“Cough cough cough——”
Someone behind Jiang Yunu suddenly coughed, as if a bird's feather had gotten into his throat.
Jiang Yunu and Qiao Yisen, who was looking at her terminal screen, turned around at the same time and saw an unfamiliar teacher standing behind them.
She was a female teacher, very tall, with a capable temperament and a capable appearance. She wore a shirt with narrow sleeves and tight trousers with the legs tucked into her boots.
The other person folded his arms, bent slightly, and was looking down at the two students - mainly at Jiang Yunu.
Jiang Yunu is not afraid of being stared at.
"Hello?" Jiang Yunu took the initiative to say hello.
The female teacher simply stopped pretending that she was still interested in another student, and her eyes fell straight on Jiang Yunu's face.
"Hello, little girl." The very capable female teacher said, "If I heard correctly, you just said that you feel like you are studying at Narciso College?"
Narciso College is the name of the "King of Papers" school.
Jiang Yunu was very confident in what he said and did, and nodded in response to the other person's gaze: "Yes."
The female teacher's expression was unclear for a moment, and finally settled on an expression that seemed to be half-smile, as if she wanted to mock the rival school but tried her best to restrain herself from mocking it.
But Jiang Yunu still heard a "hum" coming out of the other person's nose.
"Don't think too highly of them," the female teacher finally advised earnestly. "If you were really in Narciso, you probably wouldn't even have time to exchange a few words with your friends in the hallway. We in Engel are much better."
Joyson would easily feel intimidated in front of a woman with a visibly strong aura. If the other person was an adult woman much older than them, he would be twice as scared. He probably thought that he would easily associate the other person with Aunt Daisy, who also had a strong aura.
Jiang Yunu is okay. She seems to be able to act calm and composed in front of everyone. It may also be that she has never had the idea that "my aura is weaker than others".
Jiang Yunu could only hear that this female teacher was obviously more supportive of their own school and had an indescribable dislike and contempt for the "King of Papers".
Anyway, that was just an irrelevant analogy, so Jiang Yunu immediately acted well in front of the female teacher.
"Good teacher," she said. "Our school is still much better than the 'School of Paper King'."
The female teacher nodded in satisfaction, then tapped Jiang Yunu's shoulder lightly with the teaching aids in her hand.
"Hurry up and go to class, your next class is about to start." the other party said.
Jiang Yunu and Qiao Yisen immediately rushed to the next classroom.
After leaving the female teacher's sight, Joyson felt as if he had been pardoned, and he visibly breathed a sigh of relief beside Jiang Yunu.
"I'm so scared." Joyson muttered as he ran.
He didn't dare to speak too loudly, as if he was afraid that the female teacher would hear him and suddenly appear from behind and chase him.
Jiang Yunu jogged and thought, "That doesn't seem to be the teacher who teaches new students."
Since the start of the school year, they have met all the teachers who teach freshman courses. However, Jiang Yunu has never seen that female teacher before, and she doesn't seem to appear in the main teaching building very often.
Running to the classroom for the next class, finding a seat and sitting down in time for the class to start, Jiang Yunu suddenly had a guess in his mind -
"Could that be the teacher of the practical training course?" she whispered to herself.
Joyson, who was standing next to him, didn't quite hear it and was still panting from running over: "Huh?"
The red-haired boy forced out questioning syllables.
Jiang Yunu shook his head, indicating that nothing was wrong, and focused his attention on the current class.
But during the class, she subconsciously moved her right shoulder - that was the place where she had just been tapped by the female teacher with the teaching aids.
The teaching aid in the female teacher's hand looked like an ordinary teaching stick, but when she tapped Jiang Yunu with it, she intuitively felt that the thing was actually very heavy.
It was all thanks to the female teacher's amazing wrist strength that she held it lightly and controlled the strength well, so that such a heavy object only skimmed across Jiang Yunu's shoulder like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Anyone who can make a heavy object look effortless is most likely a teacher from the practical training course.
However, this was just an episode in the corridor during class. Jiang Yunu had some guesses in his mind, but did not take it too seriously.
She is really busy.
Attend classes, study, and do homework.
Look up more information, write "additional homework", and prepare for the competition.
Ever since receiving the mass notification from teachers that "midterm exams are coming soon", Jiang Yunu has had to continue squeezing out time and find time to review the basic theories of each course.
On the night when she successfully passed the holographic game novice trial, Jiang Yunu sent a message to the members of the Crystal Core Group, informing them that she had successfully passed the test. She also received an excited reply from them early the next morning.
The members of the Crystal Core Team couldn't wait to witness Jiang Yunu's "speed pass" results, but unfortunately, Jiang Yunu happened to become very busy from this Zhou Qi.
She was so busy that she couldn't even schedule two relaxing flights for herself on the weekends.
Jiang Yunu reluctantly canceled an appointment in the middle of the week and only kept one flight for himself scheduled for Sunday night.
"This is my only remaining spiritual paradise." Jiang Yunu solemnly announced when he kept this appointment.
Most of the people in the Crystal Core Group study computers during the day from Friday to Sunday, and they will be in the computer classroom intensively during this time period.
They don't often go to the computer room on Sunday nights, but in order to match Jiang Yunu's schedule, they specially found some "non-staff members of the group" to exchange a round of appointment times.
It was only then that Jiang Yunu realized that the members of the Crystal Core Group were far more than the three she had met. Starting from the second grade, there were basically several people belonging to the Crystal Core Group in every grade.
They are also divided into "permanent main force" and "non-staff members".
The leader of the Crystal Core Team explained to Jiang Yunu, "Permanent members are generally those who are willing to spend all their free time on the game. They exchange the tokens obtained from trading game crystal cores for star coins. This is a convenient way to increase their living expenses. Our permanent members are all students who treat this as a legal part-time job."
Jiang Yunu expressed his understanding of this.
Even graduates of a junior supernatural school were not considered adults according to the law. There were very few job opportunities for minors, so if they wanted to earn some extra pocket money to supplement their living expenses, earning game tokens and then exchanging them for star coins was a rare and legitimate way to do so.
The leader of the Crystal Core Team continued, "Being a non-staff member is like an invitation we've extended to you. You don't have to always participate in operations, and you don't have to spend all your time on this kind of thing. But if you're free, you're always welcome to join us online. We'll pay you your share of the wages based on the day's harvest."
Jiang Yunu previously thought that the "Crystal Core Group" was more of a student playful activity. When they invited her to play crystal cores together, she thought it was more of an invitation for her to play together. She didn't expect to hear the term "salary".
After hearing this, she looked at the team leader who had come to the outside of the theory classroom to explain things to her in person, and suddenly she felt admiration for the other party who had developed this small campus business model.
"That's amazing." Jiang Yunu praised sincerely.
The team leader felt a little embarrassed and immediately waved his hands and said no, this model was not original to the other party. In places like theirs where the star region is ranked low, many students from schools would do this.
It has become an established "student industry".
Jiang Yunu really wanted to see this small student industry, just as he wanted to know whether she had really finished the novice trial and activated the game interaction function.
Even though he was extremely busy, Jiang Yunu reserved a computer class on Sunday night, which overlapped with the time of the Crystal Core Group, which had specially changed its time slot. They agreed to meet in the computer classroom on Sunday night.
