Chapter 265
When sitting in Zhu Mingyue and eating the first bite of hot rice, Yu Tu was still a little bit unbelievable—nothing had happened.
They are currently sitting by the window on the seventh floor. Through the window they can see the high moon and... the shadow play in the moon?
"The winner this week is the College of Literature." Wen Yuxin followed Yu Tu's puzzled gaze during a break in his meal and saw that his eyes were fixed on the moon in the sky. He couldn't help but explain, "The moon in Chang'an Academy is man-made. The academy with the highest combined score each week can customize the pattern on the moon. The College of Literature has been doing this for three weeks. This week it was shadow play, last week it was the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, and the week before that it was the Great Riot in Heaven."
Gu Hongying: "Is the College of Arts very powerful?"
"The College of Arts is a large category." Wen Yuxin nodded, "Generally, we win more than we lose."
"You are here as exchange students. I suggest you decide which college you want to enter before you get the badge." She said, "Once you get the badge, it means you understand the rules of Chang'an Academy. If you break the rules, you will lose credits."
Eric: "Are there many rules in Chang'an Academy?"
"Let me put it this way..." Wen Yuxin sighed, "The four years at Chang'an Academy will be the most difficult eight years of your six-year student career."
There are four universities in the inner world, namely Kunlun, Guixu, Chang'an University and Miller-Kerr. Except for Miller-Kerr University, which is a joint venture between the inner and outer worlds, the other three schools are special recruitment.
Kunlun focuses on swordsmanship, and the people selected have strong willpower and cause relatively few troubles; Guixu has social phobias on average and rarely contacts the outside world, so students from the other three schools don't know much about them; although Millerkel University has a large number of students and a mixed background, the killing power of newly enrolled students is limited, and students who are about to graduate are packed up and sent to other departments for internships, so the situation is controllable; only Chang'an Academy is different.
Chang'an Academy accepts students from the human, demon, and plant races. Most of the students come from the inner world. It is the school with the largest number of students besides Millerkel University. They are either gifted or have family backgrounds in learning. Translated into human language, their killing power is incomparable.
In order to control these "outlaws" who are lawless after awakening their spiritual powers, Chang'an Academy has formulated a series of school rules that are comparable to the "Rules of the Game". The school system is only four years, and the credits required are not too high, but the points deduction is horrible. Those who can graduate on time are geniuses. Most people will be delayed for one to two years. Those with ordinary talents can even study for eight years, and those who are too mediocre can only be persuaded to drop out.
"We don't have many school rules at Kunlun." After chatting for several hours, everyone started to get familiar with each other. Yin Li asked curiously, "Yuxin, do you have a ready-made copy of the Chang'an Academy's school rules?"
"Have you finished your meal?" Wen Yuxin's smile was a little strange. "I suggest you finish eating before watching."
Seeing everyone's eyes on her, she smiled and said, "Be prepared mentally."
Yu Tu and the other four nodded solemnly.
Wen Yuxin flipped his hand and took out a scroll, untied the silk thread tied to the scroll, and like an invisible hand, he spread out the scroll. The long scroll filled with words slid from one end of the table to the other in a floating manner, and then continued to move forward.
Under the five people's stiff gazes, she said slowly: "Well, this is the school rule."
There was a time when the handwritten "Shanglin Fu" was popular in the watch world. The school rules of Chang'an Academy seemed to be more numerous than the "Shanglin Fu".
Gu Hongying: “…”
He said in pain: "This is too much!"
The school rules of Chang'an Academy are basically free of nonsense. The language of each rule is concise and concise. Article 273 even states: "School rules are updated from time to time. All students are requested to check them frequently to avoid missing any."
After awakening spiritual power, all five senses will be enhanced, memory will also improve, and even some aspects will be strengthened. Remembering so many rules is not a problem, but the difficulty lies in how to avoid deductions.
"I can understand some of it." Hao Zhizhi and Gu Hongying wore the same painful mask, "but some of it is just too outrageous!"
比如34條寫着【禁止将學弟學妹揍回原形後冒充期末考試成績,違者扣10學分】;比如98條寫着【禁止嘗試更改自己的種族,違者扣30學分】;比如第178條寫着【禁止做實驗餓極了生啃同學(熟啃也不行),違者扣40學分】;比如261條寫着【禁止同時與多人多種族結婚,違者扣100學分】……
Under these weird school rules, such as [No experiments outside the experimental area], [No grilling of experimental materials with yourself], and [No impromptu performances outside the experimental area] are already considered normal.
Yu Tu took a quick look and was shocked by the harsh school rules: "It seems that it is very difficult to survive in Chang'an Academy."
"Don't think these rules are weird. Behind every school rule is a tragic lesson." Wen Yuxin smiled. "When I entered Chang'an Academy, there were only 271 school rules. Now there are 273."
That is to say, as Chang'an Academy exists for longer years, the school rules will also become longer and longer.
"I have a question!" Gu Hongying is an energetic and curious child. "Why is 100 credits deducted for Article 261? Is it because of the bigamy law?"
The maximum deduction allowed under Chang'an Academy's school rules is 100 credits, but this one is inconsistent with other school rules that allow a 100-credit deduction.
"Not all rules of the outer world apply to the inner world," Wen Yuxin said, "but according to the barrier level, bigamy is indeed illegal."
"The reason why so many credits were deducted for this school rule is because a student at Chang'an Academy used some unknown method to tie the marriage knot with all the classmates and got married. Then, with the help of the formation, he awakened the effects of 'Happy Ties' and 'A Perfect Match'. Happy Ties harms the entire class equally, and A Perfect Match increases the attacks of each person to varying degrees."
Gu Hongying was puzzled: "Although it's a little funny, isn't the effect very good?"
Isn't this just a variant path of group damage reduction and group benefit?
"If that's all, then just cancel it." Wen Yuxin lowered his voice even though there was no one else around. "The problem is that whoever started the thread must end it. After tying the knot with all the classmates, the person who created this school rule ran away!"
Gu Hongying, Yu Tu, Hao Zhizhi, Yin Li, Eric: "......?"
Five people slowly typed out a question mark.
"Only people who are in tune with each other can tie the knot. After the knot is tied, the two people will unconsciously like each other, but then the problem comes..." Wen Yuxin sighed, "There are too many knots, and even spider webs are neater than knots."
Wen Yuxin continued, "It is said that the person who created this school rule was not on good terms with all the students in the class, so he also crossed the marriage ties of many people."
Most people who are able to cultivate have stronger wills, but it is indeed quite frustrating to see instinct and will fighting against each other 24 hours a day.
Gu Hongying swallowed his saliva and said, "What you mean is that even if you dislike someone rationally, you can't help but like them instinctively, and then rationality suppresses the instinct. Once you don't suppress it, the instinct will come out again?"
"Yes." Wen Yuxin nodded. "It is said that this tangled marriage was tied for nearly two months before the teachers of Chang'an Academy caught him and worked together to untie him."
Looking at the strange expressions of the five people in front of him, Wen Yuxin comforted them: "Don't worry, this happened more than 20 years ago."
More than 20 years ago, at Chang'an Academy, there was a conflict with the whole class - such a familiar setting.
Yu Tu's heart skipped a beat, and a name suddenly popped up in his mind: "Could it be... Di Changqing?"
Wen Yuxin gave him a thumbs up.
Yu Tu: “…”
It was such an outrageous thing, but after finding out who did it, he was not surprised at all.
The seventh floor of the Mingyue Building fell into a terrible silence.
After a long while, Hao Zhizhi finally changed the subject: "Let's talk about something else..."
Wen Yuxin shared with them some of the history of the school rules that she knew, and as the six of them chatted, they finally pushed aside the dark clouds that had suddenly risen in their hearts.
After telling the tearful story of school rules, Wen Yuxin seemed to suddenly remember something: "You guys came at a good time. Are you going to participate in the competition in October this year?"
Eric: "Ring match?"
"Chang'an Academy holds a competition every year. Students in the second grade and above can participate. The registration deadline is mid-October. It lasts about two months and is settled together with the final grades." Wen Yuxin said, "The credit rewards for the first three groups of the competition are particularly generous. Every year, the unlucky students who have lost a lot of points will choose to participate in the competition to turn the tide. After all, if they fail, they have to stay in school during the Spring Festival."
"I suggest you join in," Wen Yuxin said. "Every freshman who arrives at Chang'an Academy will experience a "fish leaping over the dragon gate." Students who cross the dragon gate will receive a koi blessing. The shelf life of the koi blessing is at least one month. Freshmen are restricted by their grade and cannot join in. You are exchange students who just came here as sophomores. With the help of the koi blessing, everything will definitely go well!"
The five people looked at each other, and everyone's mind was filled with memories of the difficult times since they started school.
Gu Hongying stared into Wen Yuxin's eyes: "Are you sure it can last for a month?"
"Under normal circumstances, it should be fine to maintain it for a month, unless there is an emergency and it is consumed by high intensity." Wen Yuxin comforted, "Don't worry, most people are not so unlucky!"
Although she didn't know why the atmosphere suddenly became a bit suffocating, she still explained enthusiastically: "Gather your spiritual power to your eyes and look at your skin. You can see a faint orange-gold halo flowing. If you can't see the halo, it proves that the koi blessing has been consumed."
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Yu Tu directed his spiritual power towards his eyes - he was already very skilled at this with his vest.
Gathering spiritual energy in his eyes, Yu Tu looked intently at the back of his hand—there was no faint orange-gold halo.
Yu Tu: “???”
He tried again, but still nothing.
Yu Tu raised his head and looked at his four friends. Everyone had the same awkward feeling in their eyes.
I think I know why I was lucky enough not to be affected by the explosion and was able to have a hot meal.
