Copy it for me
University is arguably the most egalitarian place in the world, especially the library during finals week. No matter who you are, the library won't favor anyone during finals week; if you can't get a table, you can't get one.
The two had no choice but to meet at a nearby coffee shop to study.
With dry theoretical knowledge and messy credit calculations mixed in his mind, Lin Yehuan couldn't muster any energy even when sitting next to Lu Xingzhi, who was like a human cheat code.
"Every major course must achieve a 'good' grade... What are the standards for 'good'?"
[Based on the male protagonist's innate academic intelligence, his grades fall within a range of ±10 points, which is considered excellent; the next range is considered good.]
Lin Yehuan felt that it was much more reasonable for him to score 70 points on the current test than to work himself to death to get 80 points.
"Ahem," Lin Yehuan ordered a coffee for the person opposite him with a clear purpose in advance, "Hey top student, do you think... well... if, I mean if, would you be interested in doing a challenge to get 70 points in all subjects?"
This is the first time I've given someone a nickname... I feel a little embarrassed. Lin Yehuan carefully revised it many times in the file assistant's dialog box, finally choosing the most satisfactory version to forward.
Seeing the two messages that someone had forwarded without any sincerity or perhaps out of carelessness, Lu Xingzhi replied warmly: "I'm more interested in doing the challenge of getting perfect scores in all subjects."
Who are they targeting? I thought they were the gentle type, but I never expected them to be so cunning.
Undeterred, Lin Yehuan crossed the line of his moral bottom line that he had maintained for twenty years and uttered, "Copy this for me."
Then, before the other party could turn on their phone, they withdrew their message.
"I haven't closed the chat window on my computer."
"Something that violates the rules."
"Can't."
Considering his emotional intelligence is zero, Lin Yehuan decided not to hold it against him and let it go. If he continued, he might dig himself into some huge pit.
Despite her frantic efforts, Lin Yehuan finally managed to figure out the course selection issues for each major on the forum before the exam dates for her major courses and various general education courses were finalized. She then compiled the information into a guide and uploaded it to the school forum.
Two whole days passed without a single message. Lin Yehuan logged in to check and found that the post had been deleted and the user banned just five minutes after it was posted; hardly anyone had seen it.
Lin Yehuan scrolled through the various outrageous statements on the homepage, including venting his emotions, gossip, and rumors, and couldn't figure out what he had broken.
[The course registration guide and optimization plan should be sent to your personal email address. Your current progress is not yet up to standard. We recommend the following plan for you.]
Lin Yehuan had long anticipated that it wouldn't be that simple, so he had no choice but to study the two plans for the system.
[Option 1 (Dependent): Transfer all data to Lu Xingzhi, who will then complete the optimization plan and submit it. Choosing this option will result in all rewards being evenly distributed across his skill points, with your team receiving a 5% bonus.]
"Two two two two two" Lin Yehuan's eyes darted around and he frantically tapped the screen. Since he had control over the situation, why should he rely on others for help, not even the male lead?
[Option Two: Controlled Approach: You can use LuXingZhi as a tutor, but they can only provide basic knowledge instruction. The actual code must be completed by you and accepted by the system. Once approved, the system will automatically send it to your respective email addresses.]
[After course selection is completed, you will have full control over all rewards.]
[Note: Based on your forecasts and indicators, this plan is considered quite challenging. Please consider this carefully.]
"Who do you think you are?" Lin Yehuan rolled his eyes silently. "Believe me or not, I can fix that broken system in a minute. Is it that hard to type a couple of lines of code?"
It's difficult, really difficult.
"How about we call it a day?" Lu Xingzhi suggested taking a break when he saw that Lin Yehuan's eyes were becoming increasingly listless.
“You explained it very well,” Lin Yehuan habitually gave him a friendly welcome first, “but your basic method is too advanced.”
Starting two weeks ago, Lu Xingzhi began teaching from the most basic theoretical knowledge, gradually moving up to the application level.
Lin Yehuan was on the verge of tears. How could things have turned out this way?
No wonder the system has been criticized for so many years and no one has fixed it. Lin Yehuan even wavered a little. If Lu Xingzhi could fix the system and make it applicable in reality, it might not be impossible.
"Pah, pah, pah," Lin Yehuan shook off the laziness in his mind: "It's still early, let's talk some more."
"Is there a simpler method?" Lin Yehuan hesitated for a moment. "Just make sure everyone knows how to do it."
Morality and conscience were at odds, and in the end, Lin Yehuan had to convince himself that this was just an assessment within the system, and he was only completing the assessment task. Since the system had not explicitly prohibited it or issued any warnings, he could do it.
Although the setting she wrote depicted Lu Xingzhi as someone who never received parental favoritism and was even excessively neglected in matters of the heart, making him seem somewhat pitiful, he was still from a wealthy family. His family fully supported whatever he wanted to do, and Lu Buxiu found the best resources for him in every direction he wanted to try.
In fact, as long as he doesn't offer any troublesome ideas to the company, he can basically do whatever he wants. Therefore, he'll suggest anything except things related to making money.
Listening to Lin Yehuan's description, Lu Xingzhi almost immediately thought of simulated clicks—although it was a bit clumsy, it was easy to operate, wouldn't affect the server, and the A elective course system had no anti-automation mechanism, making it difficult for the academic affairs system to detect.
The two talked from 2 p.m. until the coffee shop closed, and then moved to an empty pavilion on campus.
Lin Yehuan admitted that no matter what method she used, it wasn't very friendly to a novice like her.
The phrase Lu Xingzhi heard most often that night was "Copy this for me." At first, he instinctively reacted defensively, but later he simply let her sneak around between the two computers.
Lin Yehuan's mind was filled with nothing but the code he had painstakingly pieced together from Lu Xingzhi's words, and the system's warning: "You were on the verge of violating the rules. Please correct your behavior." He finally finished the code while using the last bar of battery left on his computer.
The system indicated that the verification had passed, and after the email was sent, the two realized it was already 12:30.
University A has a curfew of 11:30 p.m. every night. Now the school gates, canteens, libraries, and dormitories are all locked, and there is no one outside.
Having drunk too much coffee during the day, the two of them were full of energy and showed no signs of being sleepy.
Lin Yehuan pulled out her fully charged backup computer. "Tell me about that advanced method again."
Hypnosis: Lin Yehuan had never found such good white noise to help him sleep, and he regretted not recording it.
And so, as New Year's Day approached, braving the cold wind, the two of them, dressed in trench coats, gracefully leaned on the wooden table in the pavilion.
She didn't know if Lu Xingzhi was cold, but his warm breeze made her feel very comfortable.
"Oh, you two seem to have quite the leisure and refined tastes."
Lin Yehuan unlocked the door entirely by voice control early in the morning, and knew who it was before his eyes even focused.
"Good morning, Gu Ye." Lin Yehuan stretched, unusually free of morning grumpiness. Although it wasn't cold, he still felt stiff all over.
Lu Xingzhi woke up at some point, and when Lin Yehuan could see him clearly, his hand was still covering Gu Ye's mouth. He only removed his hand when he saw that she was fully awake.
"Oh, sorry, sorry." Gu Ye glanced at Lu Xingzhi's eyes and immediately slid to his knees. "I was so blind."
Lin Yehuan couldn't quite figure out what kind of role Gu Ye was. If he was important, he seemed to be doing nothing all day; if he wasn't important, he had a very high priority in the system's tasks.
So much so that he could refresh his presence near them in various forms.
"Ye Zi!" Xu Pengpeng called out from a great distance, "Where have you been? I've called you more than fifty times."
Lin Yehuan then glanced at her phone; it was full of missed calls from the three of them. Before she could even feel guilty, she noticed Shao Xi following behind her.
What are you two doing together so early in the morning?
“You have a professional class at 8 a.m. today,” Shao Xi responded, noticing her gaze. “The teacher will highlight the important points, you should remember that, right?”
How do you know so much about our major courses!
"I remember." Lin Yehuan had stayed up all night and her mind was still foggy. She had no recollection of any of her major courses, but in front of Shao Xi, her words were as sharp as diamonds.
"And who is this?" Xu Pengpeng gestured towards Gu Ye.
"Oh, this is my friend, Gu Ye, from the art academy. He spends his days sketching in this area." Lu Xingzhi introduced him clearly in one go, not giving Gu Ye a chance to elaborate.
“No wonder they looked so familiar,” Xu Pengpeng chimed in, then steered the conversation back to the two computers on the table. “What are you…”
"Let me show you my big production from last night," Lin Yehuan said, turning on his computer before realizing both laptops were out of power. He gave an awkward laugh, "You'll have to watch it in a few days."
"You mean, you wrote this code?"
"Hmm, pretty impressive, huh?" Lin Yehuan flicked his non-existent bangs, put his hands on his hips in the middle of the dorm, and waited for the other three to continue praising him. "I'm a computer whiz~"
"If you said he was a master at stealing vegetables, that would be more believable."
"Oh ho, you wait and see." Lin Yehuan said as he entered Xu Pengpeng's vegetable garden and wreaked havoc.
"Why don't you keep a dog?" the other two asked, puzzled, seeing that Xu Pengpeng was powerless to fight back.
"She's afraid of dogs."
"That's because I was bitten by a dog."
“In my dream.” Lin Yehuan smiled.
"Lin Yehuan, you're finished!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Yehuan grabbed his down jacket and rushed out.
Xu Pengpeng didn't even leave the stool. She exchanged a glance with the other two. "She doesn't look behind her at all when she runs."
"That's a true master."
"You've learned it all." Yi Jie gave a thumbs up. What was that saying again? Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
"I'm still at the door." Lin Yehuan got his clothes stuck in his sleeve while he was getting dressed. He hadn't gone far when he realized that he had been tricked for more than ten years.
[Course selection has ended. A total of 164 students in Level B have completed their course selections. The remaining 15 students have not completed their course selections and will remain on the list.]
How could anyone be worse than her? Lin Yehuan just wanted to cry for a couple of seconds before getting up again to retrieve the information and calculate the best alternative.
Fortunately, the academic affairs system was working normally during the supplementary selection, and with the additional 0.1x speed babysitting tutorial she provided, the task was finally completed smoothly.
After three months of meticulously dividing time, despite the fact that a certain test-taker had pushed the exams to their absolute limit and achieved perfect scores, Lin Yehuan still managed to barely pass and achieve a "good" grade in his final exams.
After several tasks, Lin Yehuan's wallet gradually swelled up, giving him a sense of exhilaration, like playing a management game.
Lin Yehuan flipped through her latest data. As a player who grinded the game every day, she naturally wanted to figure out how to make the most of her reward points.
When she realized that the conclusion was entirely attributed to Lu Xingzhi, she couldn't help but curse the binary ancestor of the system.
"This is a perfect greeting from a perfect person," Lin Yehuan began to probe the system's vulnerabilities.
[Matches the character design, my perfection level +10]
"Great!" Lin Yehuan thought smugly as he continued to calculate how to process these values.
Adding it to the other person grants you a benefit, which reduces the difficulty later on, but puts the initiative in their hands.
Adding it to yourself allows you to prioritize subsequent tasks, ensuring that you won't be chased by tasks no matter what.
Lin Yehuan made a perfect choice, opting for the second option. Even in the virtual world, he wouldn't suffer humiliation. If things were this difficult, what could be more difficult?
Of course there are, such as being stripped of all holidays.
Family and home are very important topics. Because there are too few family members mentioned, Lin Yehuan had no choice but to choose between a winter break job with extremely low hourly wages, no room and board included, and no connection to the main quest, and a laboratory that might unlock a certain main quest.
She was the only student in the lab before finals week, but now she has one senior female student and two senior male students working on their graduation projects.
The teacher arranged for her to learn the operation from the senior students, which meant that she had successfully transformed from the first disciple into a ruthless dishwasher.
"The moon is so beautiful tonight," Wang Feng would say every night as he refreshed the screen next to the lab bench in the cleaning room, repeating the same sentence over and over.
Lin Yehuan used to just laugh it off, after all, according to his senior sister, he had used this phrase to flirt with all the girls in the college. However, she was too impatient with him now because of the cold water, and suddenly replied, "The water is cold too."
Seeing that he had no hope, Wang Feng wisely withdrew.
"Senior, remember to wash your bottles." Lin Yehuan had long been fed up with doing odd jobs for others. He spent his free time reading literature and discussing his research direction with his professor. Today, he finally made a decision.
During this period, "路行止" served as a terminologist.
"Do you have time tomorrow night?" To celebrate finally being freed from her servitude, Lin Yehuan planned to treat her benefactor to dinner.
"Yes," Lu Xingzhi always seemed to have time, replying to every message instantly. He truly deserved to be called the perfect lover in the making. "Any plans?"
"I'll treat you to a big meal!"
"Little Ye, I'm not just here to freeload; I'm here to discuss a collaboration with you." Gu Ye followed along shamelessly, and according to Lu Xingzhi, he couldn't shake him off even after drifting around two sharp corners.
Lin Yehuan looked at the two bicycles riding side by side and believed it without a doubt.
"Cooperate? With me?" Lin Yehuan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't have the artistic talent you possessed.
Lu Xingzhi surprisingly affirmed Gu Ye's idea, revealing a rare air of confidence and arrogance, "Let me elaborate. In short, the two of you are the most suitable to cooperate."
[Task Begins: Entering the Workplace 1.0]
[Partnering with the male lead can accelerate the character's development.]
"Can't someone at least ask for my opinion? I don't want to work two jobs at the same time!" Lin Yehuan roared inwardly, but said lightly, "Sure, tell me what you need me to do."
[It's about perfection, not pretentiousness!]
