Ninth class citizen

Chapter 25: The interim results of private detectives

Shirley slowly pulled out a natural printed vanilla-scented tissue and wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth: "I respect Haydn and all my classmates, so I will definitely do my best."

She stood up and walked out: "Now, it's time to go to class."

In the botany class in the morning, the students' learning attitudes improved significantly.

Despite this, the content and speed of the instructor's lectures far exceeded everyone's expectations.

There are nearly 200 plant species in three families and genera, with completely different growth environments and habits, and the parts used to make genetic drugs are even more different. However, the instructor managed to briefly talk about them all in more than two hours.

After that comes the routine in-class test.

The test content was either in the book or what the instructor had just taught. Nan Rong's memory was very good now, and he could remember everything he saw and heard. As expected, he got full marks again and received 5 credits.

Besides her, there are three other students in the class who got full marks: Haydn, Shui Zhongjin, and Shirley.

More than one-third of the students in the class failed, and there were wails of dismay.

Nan Rong had handed the pirated school uniforms to the three scapegoats long before class began, and now he packed up his things and left.

Guan Ning barely managed to pass the exam, and while secretly rejoicing, he caught up with Nan Rong and said, "Nan Rong, where are you going? I have a question for you."

Haydn saw this from behind, pursed his lips slightly, and was about to follow, but was stopped by Shirley.

"Brother Haydn." Her voice was soft and clear, like the wind mixed with snow in the summer: "Did you see the results just now? Xueli has been working hard to be on par with you."

Haydn's blue eyes were always on Nan Rong who was walking out. He said "not bad" perfunctorily and took a step forward.

Xueli lowered her head, her body trembling slightly. Laura on the side looked at her worriedly: "Don't make yourself angry, Master Hayden, there must be something else, not necessarily because of Nan Rong."

"I know." Xueli endured for a long time before she suppressed the trembling of her hands. "I know what kind of person he is. He might sacrifice himself to marry a noble lady for the sake of his family's development, but he would never marry that kind of person."

"Yeah." The girl's voice was full of contempt: "The famous detective my brother hired just gave me a reply. From the clues we have so far, the guy named Nan Rong is most likely a liar."

"Really?" Xueli's eyes flashed with joy: "What exactly is going on?"

"What we can confirm now is that the person who sent her to the supplementary enrollment that day was indeed someone from the Special Affairs Bureau. It is not convenient to check his identity in detail. But he should be someone Nan Rong has made friends with recently. It is not ruled out that the two of them have that kind of relationship, so the other party helped her pay the tuition."

"Heh." Xueli sneered, "No wonder. You saw her reaction this morning. She was just like Di Ding, who would take advantage of any opportunity. It turns out she is also an expert at seducing men."

"Isn't it?" Laura echoed, "These F-level low-level scum are the best at observing people's expressions and flattering people. They can climb up by themselves if they are given a pole. Our family has taught us to stay away from such people since we were young, but we didn't expect that they would become our classmates."

"Don't worry." Xueli said, "Once I have solid evidence, I will have a good talk with Brother Haydn. The existence of such a student will not only affect the reputation of the school, but also make it difficult for others to concentrate on their studies. Who knows when he will come back to haunt me?"

"That's the truth." Laura nodded vigorously: "Sister Xueli, the clean and upright school atmosphere and environment depend on you!"

"When will the detective your brother hired send the evidence over?" "He has already verified it with her high school mentor and classmates. He should be able to come up with a reliable conclusion tonight."

"Very good." The gloom on Xueli's face disappeared by a large margin. "If Hayden can really see her true colors, the Feiwen family's export quota this year will not be a problem."

"Really?" Laura Fevin laughed, "Thank you, Shirley."

"Can you help me with a question?" Nan Rong did not refuse Guan Ning: "Sure, but this will waste my time, so I have to charge you."

"Okay." Guan Ning just wanted to seize the opportunity to get closer to Nan Rong. "How do you tell if the golden-leaved acacia tree that grows with the deep marsh Xiyan tree has flowing filaments that are more than five years old?"

"100 Cowens." Nan Rong confirmed that he had received the payment and shook his head slightly: "The fifth section of page of the textbook."

"Uh." Guan Ning took out a thick paper textbook from his bag, opened it and saw that it was exactly as Nan Rong had said, everything was written clearly on it.

"The five-year-old filaments have slightly curled tails, which are softer than the three-year-old ones, so the range of their swaying is also farther."

As soon as he read this, he realized that Nan Rong was not waiting for him at all and had already walked ten steps away.

"Hey, I have another question." Guan Ning quickly chased after him: "The conditions for the complete liquefaction of the dark tree crystals, the book only lists two, temperature and catalyst. But the test question just now said there is a third one, I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try."

Nan Rong looked back at him, with some pity in his eyes: "200 Cowans."

"No problem." Guan Ning transferred the money and heard Nan Rong say, "Look carefully at the picture in the lower right corner of page 25. The third condition is on it."

"But I don't find anything special?" Guan Ning looked carefully for a long time, but really couldn't see any problems.

Nan Rong sighed and said, "Have you ever thought that you are not suitable for the profession of genetic optimizer?"

I have only learned less than 200 species of plants, but it is already so difficult. I am afraid it is just a pipe dream to want to pass the certification of a first-level botanist.

The first requirement for a genetic optimizer is high intelligence. The intelligence of a normal person is around 10 points, but a genetic optimizer must have at least 30 to reach the professional threshold. The higher the upper limit, the higher the achievement.

Another condition is perception. The higher the level of the genetic optimizer, the stronger the reliance on perception, but this is a matter above the second level.

However, the entrance test requirements for Shilo Star Hua have been relaxed to an intelligence of 15, and perception is not tested at all.

This has led to many silly kids who yearn for this profession but are unable to do it to voluntarily offer large amounts of Cowen coins one by one.

But the reality is that they simply cannot keep up with the teaching progress, even when the instructor deliberately slows down the pace at the beginning of the school year.

"It's a reaction vessel made of gold sand." Haydn came over and reminded Guan Ning, "If you change to another container, you won't be able to completely liquefy the dark tree crystals. Only liquefied dark tree crystals can be used as materials for extracting the stock solution. The detailed explanation of this is in the introduction of the textbook."

"But the instructor directly skipped the introduction and didn't say a single word?" Guan Ning was both shocked and angry.
