Chapter 267
"Tu Tu? Yu Tu?"
After Yu Tu had eaten five rows of corn neatly, he felt someone poking his left arm. Yu Tu turned his head and saw Hao Zhizhi.
While he was distracted, the other three friends had already arrived and understood the whole story.
"Sister Qing has already told us about this." Hao Zhizhi said with a smile, "Actually, the solution to this problem is quite simple. Tutu, just find a time when Senior Buyehou is free and act coquettishly. That'll solve the problem."
Yu Tu looked at Hao Zhizhi with resentful eyes.
"Don't you know how to act coquettishly?" Hao Zhizhi received his signal and lowered her voice to teach Yu Tu a trick to fool the elders, "Just act casually, they will fall for it."
As long as there are no issues of principle involved, this trick works well for her guardian. Everyone has witnessed that Senior Marquis Buye dotes on Yu Tu, and this trick is probably even more effective for Yu Tu than it is for her.
But for some reason, Hao Zhizhi felt that Yu Tu's eyes looked even more resentful when he looked at her.
She patted Yu Tu's arm for no apparent reason: "Be brave, don't be afraid."
Yu Tu: “…”
This is not a question of being braver, it is a question of throwing difficulties to the vest and finally having to solve them by himself!
Yu Tu had no words to express his grievances, so he could only give a polite smile and let him postpone it for a few days, so that he could go back and think of a solution.
Everyone enjoyed this breakfast very much (except Yu Tu). After breakfast, Wen Qingjiu took the initiative to lead them to visit the experimental area.
There are four building communities in the experimental area, divided by winter, autumn, summer and spring. The first one is named [Dawn and Winter], the second one is named [Autumn Sounds Without Searching], the third one is named [Summer Clouds], and the fourth one is named [Rain Washes Away Spring Dust]. Although the four seasons are reversed, they are easy to distinguish.
"Chang'an Academy originally divided the winter, autumn, summer and spring building clusters into four clusters for grades one to four, and all the corresponding colleges were in the same building cluster." Wen Qingjiu introduced them to the tall building with green tiles and flying eaves, "But the teachers soon discovered that this arrangement was not only dangerous, but also had high maintenance costs."
Some academies are too lethal, and this lethality has little to do with grade. Every building complex has a "dangerous academy", which leads to frequent explosions in the four building complexes, and occasionally there will be situations where rescue cannot be carried out in time.
Wen Qingjiu led them to the "Dawn and Winter" and continued to explain as they walked:
"In order to ensure the safety of students as much as possible and to reduce maintenance costs, Chang'an Academy has made changes in the past two years. The test area is no longer divided by grade but by college. In this way, the colleges in danger that need attention can be rescued in a centralized manner, and the same colleges can also communicate with each other, which is a win-win situation."
"【Xiao Se He Dong】This place is mostly theoretical research, with relatively few experiments involved. It is the safest of the four building complexes, followed by——"
"Boom!"
Before she finished her words, there was an explosion in the distance. Through the large window on the first floor, she could see flames and smoke coming out from far away. The faint sense of vibration was transmitted from far away to her feet.
"There's another explosion over there at Yu Zhuo Chun Chen." Wen Qingjiu said in a nonchalant manner, "Looking at the situation this time, at least 70 credits will be deducted."
Gu Hongying: "Do explosions often occur in the experimental area?"
"It depends on which building complex it is." Wen Qingjiu said, "If it is the [Dawn and Winter] where we are now, explosions like this rarely happen, but if it is [Rain and Spring Dust], then it is so frequent that it is like a daily routine. After all, the high-risk graduation projects are all studied there."
She kindly reminded us, "Credits at Chang'an Academy are hard currency. You should hurry up and earn credits before you enter the third year, or you will be short of money when you graduate."
Those who can be admitted to Changan Academy are not stupid. Although there are many deductions in the school rules, they will learn to avoid them after being deducted a few times. However, in addition to school rules, many things in Changan Academy are linked to credits.
"Senior sister," Eric said, "We are exchange students. We will not graduate from Chang'an Academy."
"Exchange students are allowed to take multiple degrees." Before Wen Qingjiu could answer, Yin Li's voice came over first, "If you have enough energy, you can even get diplomas from three schools: Miller, Kunlun, and Chang'an. If you have the opportunity to go to Guixu, you can get diplomas from all four schools at once."
Eric: “…”
Eric: "I'm living a good life." I don't really want to die.
A diploma from one school is not a problem for them, but two schools is quite a stretch, three schools is out of the question, and four schools?
———It’s easier to change your number and start over.
While they were talking, they could hear intermittent sounds of collapse, and looking out the window, they could see that a large corner of the building in the distance had collapsed.
Wen Yuxin sighed: "Is it possible to get 100 credits this time?"
Wen Qingjiu nodded: "It's all for nothing after deducting a month's salary."
It sounds like a tragedy.
Wen Qingjiu led them through the lobby on the first floor to the second floor. The air was filled with the scent of ink. The corridor was filled with rice paper with words written on it. A small portion of the words were barely recognizable, but most of them looked like ghostly scribbles. There was no wind, but the rice papers in the corridor were swaying up and down, as if they were being manipulated by invisible hands.
"The second floor belongs to the Faculty of Arts." Wen Qingjiu looked at the handwriting on the rice paper, "The people doing research should be sophomores."
Wen Yuxin was also looking at the rice paper. After listening to Wen Qingjiu's explanation, she asked curiously, "Sister, how do you know this is from the second grade?"
"Most students in the College of Arts use pen and ink as their medium. Those who can read the handwriting are usually in the first year, while the second year students start to scribble." Wen Qingjiu almost said, "The handwriting is unrestrained and unrestrained. It is even harder to read than the medical school. The third year is when the handwriting is completely unrecognizable. The fourth year students in the College of Arts are basically doing explosions at Yu Zhuo Chun Chen."
The identification method is so simple and crude that it leaves one speechless.
"They are studying how to use writing to communicate with the dead souls." As a formation practitioner, Yin Li took a look at those "ghostly scribbles" and immediately recognized that they were formation patterns made up of handwriting. "I have done my duty to others in my life, but today I am the only one who knows the grief and injustice - the words turned into formation patterns, and there are two mistakes."
The owner did not put his own mark on these array patterns composed of handwriting, which means that this semi-finished array is open to modification at any time. Yin Li straightened the rice paper in her hand and instantly injected spiritual power into it. Ink marks like talismans began to wander on the paper. The two details in the upper right corner changed slightly, and the ink-colored handwriting separated into fine threads and connected. In an instant, light flowed, and the handwriting in two dimensions vaguely showed signs of protruding into three dimensions.
"Who moved my formation?" In the corridor full of rice paper, a piece of rice paper suddenly flew up, and the door behind the rice paper was knocked open from the inside. The person who appeared had dark circles under his eyes, and his clothes were stained with ink. He looked extremely excited, "My formation pattern can be used suddenly!!!"
His eyes were fixed on Yin Li among the crowd. He rushed over at almost flying speed, and spoke rapidly like a string of cannonballs:
"Classmate, are you also from the Faculty of Arts? What grade are you in? Why do you look so unfamiliar to me? How many research projects have you started this year? Do you want to participate in our array research? Team members are guaranteed to get 100 credits at least, and we will definitely see research results in two months at most! Classmate, do you want to consider it? Consider it, classmate!"
Perhaps his voice was too excited, and a series of door bangs against the wall rang out in the corridor. A head popped out from behind each door, staring at them like a hungry wolf seeing fat meat.
"Who? Who solved the array?"
"Are you a freshman or a sophomore? Would you consider joining our group? Our group offers excellent credits and benefits!"
"We can guarantee 120 points per person!"
"Our research process can ensure life safety! Come to us!"
"Choose us! Our project is revolutionary! We can give you 125 credits!"
They rushed over while yelling, as if they wanted to kidnap her instead of making a choice. Wen Qingjiu decisively turned around, grabbed the person closest to her with each hand, and said without hesitation: "Run!!!"
The seven people ran away, and the group of people covered in ink chasing them from behind looked like howling zombies. After they got rid of them, Wen Qingjiu let out a sigh of fear: "Although it's not the first time I've seen it, it's still scary every time I see a project pulling people in."
In order to have as many credits as possible that give people a sense of security, each student has several projects. However, in most cases, it is difficult for one person to complete a project independently, so team members need to work together. This results in many project teams being short of people. Students who do not have any projects that match their research direction are not called classmates at all, but new credits with legs.
"Be careful when you join a project. This is not about casting a wide net and selectively catching people," Wen Qingjiu reminded. "If you fail to successfully complete a project after it is launched, your credits will be deducted."
This is why some students are so eager to recruit people. Even if the people they recruit cannot advance the project, at least they can offset the deducted credits.
"The four building communities in the test area are similar, with only the degree of danger varying." Wen Qingjiu's watch was beeping as she spoke. Someone had been sending her messages. She checked and frowned. "I'm sorry, I have an urgent matter with the project team right now, so I can't take you to Wen Dao Hall to receive the blessing plaques."
She looked at Wen Yuxin: "Yuxin, I'll leave it to you from now on."
"Don't worry, sister." Wen Yuxin responded, "I don't know how many times I've been to Wen Dao Hall."
Wen Qingjiu left in a hurry to find the project team, while Wen Yuxin took Yu Tu and the others to Wen Daotang to receive the blessing tablets. Wen Daotang was a high-rise building, but it only had two floors, the lower floor was at least five meters high, and after entering the door, one could see a huge electronic wall, with several areas divided on the old scroll background, with densely packed words scrolling.
Wen Yuxin took them to the east counter with ease, first guided them to receive their blessing badges and input their identity information, and then told them how to register for the competition.
The spiritual attributes of the four people including Yu Tu corresponded exactly to gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and they also met the registration standards for the competition, so they quickly passed the review. However, they had a hard time naming the team - because everyone's naming level was about the same.
After struggling for several minutes, a name that Eric did not object to was born, proposed by Hao Zhizhi, approved by Gu Hongying, seconded by Yu Tu, and agreed by Yin Li.
[Luckily, we didn’t let this team down].
