People at the practical education center only want to drop out.

I feel like I've learned a lot.

Bai, I will not let you down!

With this in mind, Kushida wrote another email, in which he shared his thoughts and expressed his gratitude to Shirai.

.......

As Bai Lan read through the email, filled with Kushida's rambling complaints, her lips twitched.

Although the tone of the text was complaining, Bai Lan always felt that she was showing off something.

After reading Kushida's email, Bai Lan shook her head, thinking, "That's strange. Why is Kushida more popular after revealing his hidden side? And why are there people even willing to be scolded to prove their friendship with Kushida? Could it be that these guys in Class D are gangsters?"

"That was a miscalculation. Now Kushida is even more certain that I know something about 'dark side dating' or something like that! It's all so complicated now!"

Bai Lan was very tired.

To be honest, Bai Lan was deeply shocked by the group of people in Class D.

They all do things differently than the norm.

Is it because Class D is a "defective product"?

Because it is a "defective product", its thought process is incompatible with that of a normal person.

"You guys always manage to come up with something new for me."

Bai Lan suddenly realized that if she didn't have to worry about living expenses or class competition, and just looked at the group of people in Class D from an outsider's perspective, they were quite interesting.

But it's just like raising a husky.

You can only watch; watching will be interesting, but if you try to get involved, you'll get really angry.

After reading the email, Bai Lan planned to take a shower, but just as he was getting ready to change his clothes, he noticed that Kushida had sent another email.

"Thank me for letting her experience that 'Dark Harvest' firsthand?" Bai Lan asked, looking puzzled.

Next, Bai Lan saw Kushida's entire thought process in discovering the "truth."

If Bai Lan hadn't been involved and knew that he hadn't actually thought that way, he would have truly believed Kushida's words.

79. First entrance exam! Living expenses distributed.

4 month 30 day.

Bai Lan and her classmates faced their first exam of the semester.

This exam was just a small one; all five subjects were on one paper and scored together, with each subject worth 20 points, for a total of 100 points.

In order to avoid being expelled from school because of the academic exams, Bai Lan decided to play it safe and aim for a solid score.

It's just about being "safe"; Bai Lan doesn't plan to get too high a score.

The main reason is to avoid getting too good a score, attracting attention, and ruining my plan to lower my profile and reduce my popularity in the class.

Besides, getting too good a score can make you vulnerable to being taken advantage of, such as being asked to tutor by Bai Lan.

Even if you ask Bai Lan, she doesn't intend to help, but refusing is still a troublesome thing.

Therefore, it's best not to appear to have outstanding grades from the start.

Therefore, Bai Lan plans to score between 60% and 80% in all subjects, which is 12 to 16 points in each subject, and finally get a score of 60 or 70.

Bai Lan had a good plan, but it was immediately proven wrong.

Because the exam paper begins with a test in Chinese.

Bai Lan suddenly remembered the persona that Hirata had created for him: "not good at Japanese".

Thinking of this, in order to help Hirata cover up his lie, Bai Lan decided to keep the score rate of the Chinese literature subject at around 50%.

After all, a score of 60-70% in Japanese is already at the "average level," which doesn't fit the premise of "not being good at Japanese."

Ⅲyi二蚆易缌奕萨汣

That said, why did Hirata assume that Shirai was "not good at Japanese"?

In fact, Bai Lan had already guessed this.

He recalled that he had once revealed his entrance exam scores to someone.

Shortly after confronting Hirata, Hakuran began to suspect Ayanokouji.

He felt that Ayanokoji had helped Hirata in orchestrating this scam.

Even Hirata's rhetoric was guided by Ayanokouji to say those things.

Bai Lan could probably guess why Ayanokouji would help Hirata lie.

After receiving the exam paper, Bai Lan discovered some problems.

He discovered that about 20% of the questions in the Chinese language section of the exam were beyond the syllabus.

For example, in the dictation section, one question was something they hadn't learned in the month since they started school.

In fact, this part of the content is not even in the first-year high school textbook!

But it's not a big problem. Bai Lan only plans to get 10 or 11 points, so she doesn't need to get the other 20% right.

After finishing the Chinese exam, Bai Lan discovered that about 20% of the test paper was beyond the syllabus for the second subject.

It seems the school is planning to use this exam to stir up trouble.

Time flew by, and in the afternoon, all the exams were finished, and then school was over.

After school, Bai Lan received a call from Long Yuan.

"Bring the IOU; I'm going to pay back the points as agreed," Long Yuan said on the phone.

Bai Lan: "You really know how to push the boundaries. Why didn't you ask me out at 11:59 PM to pay you back?"

Long Yuan: "Hmph~ Money, even if you can keep it in your hands for just one more second, it still brings value. Points are the same, so of course you should pay it back as late as possible."

Bai Lan: "Be careful not to overdo it."

Bai Lan returned to her dormitory with the IOU.

A dozen minutes later, the two met in a grove of trees near the dormitory building.

"Have you brought anything?"

"I brought it, I guarantee it's genuine."

"The points have been transferred to you."

Bai Lan took out his phone to check the payment notification. After confirming that it was 100 million, he took out the IOU from his pocket, wrote "paid in full" next to the amount owed, and signed his name.

Bai Lan handed the IOU to Long Yuan, saying, "Welcome to visit again!"

Upon hearing this, Long Yuan scoffed, then said smugly, "Greetings? Dream on. Anyway, your income is now tied to Class C's evaluation and income. If you plan to earn points through Class C, do you think you can refuse to provide them with relevant information? You can't expect us to work for you blindly, can you? Even if we work for you blindly, it's fine. After all, you can only earn if Class C earns. As long as Class C ultimately earns, that's all that matters."

As he spoke, Longyuan took the IOU.

After touching the imprint on the back of the paper to confirm that it was the original and not a photocopy, Long Yuan took out a marker from his pocket, drew a big X on the IOU, folded it up, and carefully put it into the inside pocket of his clothes, preparing to destroy it more thoroughly later.

At this point, it would have been cool if Long Yuan had just taken out a lighter and burned the IOU on the spot.

However, the school has very strict regulations on open flames, and even prohibits the sale of lighters to students.

Although cooking is allowed in the dormitory, open flames are not permitted; only induction cookers, electric heating pads, ovens, and similar appliances are allowed.

It's troublesome because you can't just burn it with fire.

I can only wait until later to tear it into small pieces and then flush it into the toilet.

"That's different. Although improving the class rating can bring more income to Class C, in some cases, deliberately sacrificing the class rating of Class C may actually bring me more income."

It's important to know that the value of class evaluation lies in two aspects: monthly allowance and ranking!

If I can secure my living expenses and then use my ranking to earn more, wouldn't I get more in return?

"Hey! Seriously? You can't do this! I'm giving you so much profit so you can help us win the class competition, not so you can trade our chances of winning for money! If you keep this up, I'm terminating the contract!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Lan said without hesitation, "Then let's stop."

He couldn't be happier.

Although he estimated that by tomorrow, the contract between him and Longyuan would be cancelled because Longyuan could not reach an agreement.

But it would be good if it could be a day earlier, since there would be a Dragon Garden with its health bar just in front of it, so it could be beaten up immediately after the fight.

"......"

Longyuan remained silent for a long time.

He is thinking.

In Longyuan's memory, Bai Lan should be a very purposeful person.

In Long Yuan's view, Bai Lan's whole ordeal was probably just to win over Class C through Long Yuan and get them to do things for him.

But you can't do things for free.

In reality, it's a mutual exchange of interests, with each person getting what they need.

The reason Longyuan was willing to relinquish so much power and benefit to Class C was ultimately to get Bai Lan to help Longyuan's Class C improve its class evaluation and win the class competition. It was essentially exchanging points and labor for a better class evaluation.

But now, Bai Lan says he plans to exchange Class C's class evaluation for points?

What are you doing?

In this case, why would Class C, who would gain no benefit whatsoever, cooperate with Bai Lan?

Cooperation is definitely not going to work out!

Although contracts cannot be broken casually and require a certain price to be paid, Longyuan is willing to pay this price in order to have the possibility of climbing up the social ladder.

If pushed to the limit, we can just let the entire Class C languish and keep the class rating at just enough to cover the minimum of 3 points. We won't take any more points. If we find that we've gotten too many, just like Bai Lan said, we'll just "sell the points"!

They would try to make deals with other classes, offering to act as "mercenaries" or take the fall for others, in exchange for points based on class evaluations.

Finally, they could even lower the class rating to the lowest possible level, and without a single penny of living expenses each month, they could still get by for the next three years by simply "selling points".

Although this meant they were destined to miss out on winning the class competition, it also meant Bai Lan got nothing.

Bai Lan worked hard for a long time but got nothing.
