Chapter 300: Found the most difficult mission yet?
Shen Chunmei glanced at the audience below, suppressing her temper, and said coldly, "Kong Wange, are you making fun of me? Do you think I'm stupid? If you're so capable, tear up all the students' books!"
Kong Wange calmly replied, "Teacher, I just confirmed with you several times, asking if the content of page 66 of the book you have is correct. If that's the case, then what does it have to do with the other students? There is indeed no content on page 66 of the book you have."
Shen Chunmei angrily pointed at Kong Wange and said, "You...you cheated, playing word games with me?"
Kong Wange abruptly stopped smiling and said coldly, "So what if it's a word game? You were the one who broke the rules and made things difficult for me first, so I'm just returning the favor in your own way."
"Teacher Shen, if you still insist on punishing me, why don't we go to the director or the dean and let them judge the matter?"
Shen Chunmei had been accepting bribes and doing favors for them, deliberately making things difficult for Kong Wange. How dare she make a scene in front of the dean? Her face was pale and ashen, her hands trembling as she gripped the lectern, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Kong Wange regained her calm smile: "Teacher Shen, take a breath, I'll go back to my seat first."
After saying that, she walked a few steps across the aisle and returned to her seat.
Most of the students in the classroom were amazed by Kong Wange's knowledge and courage, and they only came to their senses after she sat back down.
Little Orange and Leng Jun led the applause, and several other fearless classmates followed suit, some whistling and others clapping.
While clapping, Little Orange turned to Kong Wange and whispered excitedly, "Sister Kong, you're amazing! How did you manage to understand the textbook for this course so thoroughly?!"
Kong Wange smiled and said, "It's just good luck that I came across this book. It was my introduction to traditional Chinese medicine. I've been reading it since I was a child, so I'm naturally familiar with it. I'm not as good as other textbooks."
"Really? I can't believe it..." Little Orange looked on with a gossipy expression.
Leng Jun, watching from the side, found it amusing: "Alright, whatever Kong says goes."
She turned to look at Kong Wange: "Kong, you were so cool up there! Did you see Lao Shen's face? He was so angry he looked pale."
Kong Wange smiled and said, "None of you like her?"
Little Orange pouted: "Who would like her? She was sarcastic from the moment she came in to class. She openly and secretly looked down on us students who were selected from the Ling Shu Competition, but she was all smiles and kindness to those rich kids."
"Stop drumming! All of you, stop! get out of class isn't over yet, what's all this commotion? Are you all rebelling?" Shen Chunmei took a breath and roared.
The applause around them slowly subsided.
Shen Chunmei gave Kong Wange a disgruntled look, then tapped the podium and said, "get out of class is almost over, and I have something to tell you. I'm sure you've all heard about this from your seniors these past few days since you entered the academy. Our Imperial Academy operates on a credit system."
“Every month, the college will rank you according to your credits. Those who rank higher can stay in the experimental class, while those who rank last will be dropped out of the experimental class until there are only ten people left in our experimental class.”
As soon as Shen Chunmei finished speaking, the students below erupted in cheers.
"This is outrageous! We went through all that trouble to get into the honors class, and it turns out we only have a one-month shelf life?"
“The rankings are reset every month, which puts a lot of pressure on me. I feel like I’ll never love again.”
"Teacher, how do we get credits?" a student asked.
Shen Chunmei was just waiting for someone to ask.
She immediately pulled up the PowerPoint presentation and said to everyone, "There are two ways to earn credits. One is by looking at your daily class performance and exam scores, and the other is by actively completing various tasks assigned by the college. Of course, the difficulty of the tasks varies, and the credits earned also vary. Please do what you can. Now, the students whose names I call can come up one by one to choose and receive a task."
The PPT listed fifteen tasks, just as Bai Chenwu and Kong Wange had mentioned, including tasks such as collecting and preparing medicinal herbs, cleaning and archiving, and making medical rounds.
Little Orange nudged Leng Jun: "Sister Jun, which one do you want to choose?"
"I... I'll go on a medical rounds. This way I can earn credits and gain some practical experience."
Little Orange nodded: "Then I'll choose cleaning. Although it doesn't give many credits, it's simple and safe."
After she finished speaking, she turned to Kong Wange and asked, "Sister Kong, what about you?"
Kong Wange smiled and said, "I'll go with the flow and see whichever I get."
Little Orange nodded and said, "That's true. Sister Kong, you're so amazing, it doesn't matter which one you choose. Sigh, I wonder how things are going with Chen Ge, and what mission he chose."
Kong Wange patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, I keep my word, he'll be with us soon."
Little Orange's eyes lit up, and she nodded obediently.
The names were pronounced quickly, and Leng Jun and Xiao Ju Zi got their wish: one got the mobile clinic assignment, and the other got the cleaning assignment.
When they got to Kong Wange's name, there was only one last task that no one wanted.
Shen Chunmei stood in front of the podium with a hint of schadenfreude: "Kong Wange, come up and take your task."
Kong Wange looked at the task, not quite understanding it.
The last remaining task is to fertilize the herbs in the "Herbal Garden" of the Imperial Academy, which is worth four credits.
Although the credits aren't very high, they're good value for money. Fertilizing herbs isn't difficult either, so why was it left out?
She stepped forward and accepted the task.
Shen Chunmei handed her the task sheet, smiling meaningfully: "Kong Wange, keep it up! If you don't earn enough credits, you'll be dropped out of the experimental class."
Kong Wange: "..."
It's bizarre, extremely bizarre.
As she walked down, she heard people whispering among themselves.
"Damn, this task was assigned to this country bumpkin."
"Thank goodness, she was the last one whose name was called, so there wasn't any left for me."
"Haha, I heard that the old man in charge of the herb garden is very difficult to deal with. She definitely won't be able to complete her mission this time."
Hearing this, Kong Wange understood a bit. She was upset that Shen Chunmei had kindly left her with the most cost-effective task, only to find it was a trap.
Back in her seat, Little Orange said with lingering fear, "Thank goodness, the rest weren't too difficult."
Leng Jun frowned: "This mission has a good cost-performance ratio, so why was it left until the end?"
Not wanting the two of them to worry, Kong Wange shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Maybe I'm just lucky."
She's not afraid of anything; she'll face whatever comes her way.
...
At noon, Kong Wange had arranged to have lunch with An Jing, but when she called, she learned that An Jing and her photography team had already left.
She knew she was deliberately avoiding her, so she shook her head helplessly and went to the cafeteria with Leng Jun and the others.
The dining hall at Yudaoyuan is quite antique, and many of the dishes have nice names, such as Donghua Jade Valley Drink and Peach Blossom Glutinous Rice Soup, which look quite artistic.
