This is too hilarious!

"I've never heard of anyone buying and selling dream devices privately... but shouldn't you know more about these things than I do?"

Li Youye asked in confusion.

"I was just testing you," Bai Hui said casually.

"Get lost!" Li Youye punched Bai Hui in annoyance. "You really think I can answer that?"

Bai Hui sighed.

"Alright, that's enough. Now focus on the lesson."

"This doesn't sound like something you'd say... Tell me honestly, have you been possessed?!"

Bai Hui: "?"

Before Bai Hui could answer, Li Youye gave his own answer, shaking his head and saying, "Hmph! It's impossible. How could such a good thing possibly fall into your lap?"

Without any effort, one can directly gain immense strength, superior knowledge, and an extremely high level of mastery; the only price is the loss of memories…

Bai Hui: "..."

The only price to pay is the loss of memory!

"Actually, I was reborn."

Li Youye sneered, "Are you bragging? You think you've got all the good things in the world? Then tell me, what kind of supernatural tale has the ability to regenerate people?"

Bai Hui was stunned.

"Can't say it, huh? Still bragging? You've ruined your act, haven't you? Hahaha..."

Bai Hui sighed again.

……

On the podium, Zou Shuhuai was still lecturing. This time, he wasn't talking about the content in the textbook, but he was still teaching from the basics to the advanced levels.

At this moment, Zou Shuhuai had already moved beyond discussing the necessity of other disciplines besides the Department of Ghost Stories to mention a hidden mechanism—

"...Cheating is a bonus point mechanism that exists in exams and most assessment items."

The ability to use ghost stories to cheat in various exams or assessments without being detected by the proctor is a direct manifestation of a high level of understanding of the rules of ghost stories and a strong ability to utilize their functions.

Taking your current situation as an example, before you choose between arts and sciences, you will need to take a total of ten courses, including the subject of ghost stories.

The total score is 1200 points.

However, if you can use ghost stories to cheat during the exam and remain undetected throughout the entire exam, you can report the situation after the exam.

After verification, it can directly double your base score!

In other words, with a total score of 1200, combined with extremely sophisticated and bizarre cheating methods, it is possible to reach the theoretical limit of 2400 points...

Of course, this kind of thing is still too far away for you.

Before you can condense your inner demons, you can't even withstand the most basic supernatural tales, let alone exploit them...

This is an advanced skill for controlling ghost stories that can only be mastered at least during university years...

For example, I, as a teacher, once successfully used the "mystery of the Ouija board" in a university exam to cheat and raise my score from 35 to 70! That's way above the passing grade! It even exceeded it by 10 points!

"Wow!"

The students were filled with admiration and looked at Zou Shuhuai with worship.

Zou Shuhuai seemed to enjoy it, raising his chin slightly with a hint of pride.

In reality, he simply managed to summon the "Strange Tales of the Ouija Board" during the exam without being discovered.

Because of concerns about being exposed, I didn't get any answers from them; it was essentially a 'feint,' otherwise the base score wouldn't have been only 35 points.

……

Bai Hui: "..."

What kind of nonsense is this?! Is the ability to successfully cheat on an exam one of the important assessment criteria?!

Is that correct?

Isn't this a bit too risqué?

[Upon hearing about the abstract rules, sanity points decreased by 3.]

Perhaps because it wasn't from the textbook, even Li Youye listened intently.

He rested his chin on his hand and began to fantasize: "If only I could cheat! I got 255 points this time. If I could cheat successfully, wouldn't I instantly get 510 points?"

Bai Hui: "...You've already cheated successfully, how can the base score still be 255?"

"Why not? Don't you trust me?"

Bai Hui immediately felt a pang of regret: "I'm sorry, I underestimated you..."

"It's okay, just be more careful next time, we're brothers!"

Bai Hui paused for a moment, then tentatively raised his hand.

Zou Shuhuai asked, puzzled, "Bai Hui, is there anything you want to say?"

"Teacher, actually I cheated on this exam..."

"You? Cheated? Haha." Zou Shuhuai laughed: "Young man, it's good to have dreams, but don't be too ambitious... Yours... well, that's a secret."

Upon hearing this, the students' curiosity was immediately piqued even more.

Therefore, the long-tongued parrots hiding in the shadows became even more anxious. Their dense, bright red tongues flew swiftly over Bai Hui's head and feet, but if you didn't look closely, they didn't affect Bai Hui at all.

After all, he has now condensed his inner energy, and these long-tongued parrots haven't "eaten" much gossip yet, so they are very weak.

Zou Shuhuai then used the method of telepathic communication to say, "Bai Hui, if you think that you successfully cheated by suppressing a long-tongued parrot for several hours and completing the exam in the process... I can tell you that you are simply overthinking it."

Long-tongued parrots are not to be used for cheating; they might even expose your thoughts and secrets.

Of course, it's good that you have this intention, and your teacher supports you, but you should also remember what you promised.

Don't tell your classmates what happened during the week you were away from school...

Bai Hui: "...hesitatingly speaking."

It's good that God has this intention!

"Hahaha, that's hilarious! Bai Hui, how come I never realized you were so funny before?"

Li Youye laughed so hard he slammed his hand on the table, making such a commotion that it displeased Zou Shuhuai.

The latter stomped his foot on the podium, and the force was precisely transmitted to the last row of the classroom, touching the sole of Li Youye's foot.

Li Youye's expression changed, and he stood up with a 'whoosh,' as if he had been straightened by a pair of invisible hands!

"Li Youye, it's class time now!"

Zou Shuhuai said solemnly, and then continued his lecture.

Bai Hui immediately activated [Simple Lines] – Damn it! I missed another move!

……

A class passed quickly.

At this point, only the last of the four morning classes remained—physical education.

After PE class, Bai Hui had to go home...

Zou Shuhuai left the classroom with his textbooks. As he reached the door, without turning back, he once again used telepathy to remind Bai Hui:

"Remember, don't reveal the secret before the midterm exam. Also... don't hit your classmates. Right now, you can only hit the PE teacher."

Of course, you can play with me, the teacher, but you have to apply in advance...

Bai Hui: "...?"

What does it mean that you shouldn't hit your classmates, but it's okay to hit the PE teacher?

Is that correct?

Unfortunately, even though Bai Hui was in the "simple lines" state, he couldn't figure out how the "sound transmission" was performed.

He originally intended to chase after Zou Shuhuai to ask him about it, but Feng Jue stopped him.

"Bai Hui, do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"

Feng Jue glanced around warily, her slightly fierce gaze deterring some classmates who also seemed to be looking for Bai Hui, before asking, "Could we speak in private?"

Bai Hui was somewhat puzzled.

However, beneath the simple lines, Bai Hui could tell at a glance that Feng Jue had not yet condensed his inner energy.

Without the protection of a mental attack, Bai Hui could see this guy's personal information as clearly as if he were reading the lines on the palm of his hand...

Moreover, this is a school, and the main ghost story here is about long-tongued parrots, so Bai Hui wasn't worried about anything.

Besides... in Bai Hui's memory, Feng Jue was always among the top students in his class throughout his three years of high school!

This score of 857 was achieved entirely through Feng Jue's own hard work!

Unlike Bai Hui, who cheated...

Therefore, Bai Hui felt that spending more time with this guy would help him better understand the world, so he agreed.

After class, Li Youye went to find a way to curry favor with Yu Lian, while the other classmates who were curious about Bai Hui were driven away by Feng Jue's eyes.

So the two went to the playground together. On the way, Feng Jue hesitated several times before finally asking:

"Bai Hui, could you please teach me how to turn driftwood into a martyr's item? I desperately need a large compensation payment, and I also want to own a dream device of my own..."

Bai Hui: "...What the hell do you want me to teach you?!"

"Let the driftwood become heroes! In this respect, you are the most experienced person I know..."

Feng Jue clasped his hands together in a pleading gesture: "Please, please..."

"You son of a bitch..."

How do you teach this thing?!

And what the hell do you mean by calling me the most experienced?!

Then Bai Hui suddenly remembered something and realized what was going on.

So, the thought I glimpsed in my "Ultimate Color" state the day I transmigrated—that it was you?!
