Xia Zuo spent nearly two weeks completing more than a dozen test paper sets, and based on the question patterns, marked the important test points in the basic course textbooks.

After handing his teaching materials to Anruer, he had been planning something else, and today he finally finished all the preparations.

It was noon on another weekend.

Anru went to take a course on blending oils.

Xia Zuo stayed inside the restaurant, glancing towards the entrance from time to time, waiting for his taciturn fellow villager to come and dine.

Finally, an hour later, the target, Little Moben Riley, appeared.

The blacksmith's son was assigned to the Department of Giant Creation, and his mentor was none other than the taciturn, muscular Bolton.

Xia Zuo used a detection spell on the other party from a distance.

..

Resistance

Fire resistance 213

Perception 213

Spirit 9110

Other attributes remain unchanged, omitted.

..

Little Moben's fire resistance has increased by 1, possibly due to frequent contact with high-temperature furnaces.

Xia Zuo used the act of turning the pages of a book to secretly observe the other person.

On his way to the academy, Xiao Moben complained to Mars that he couldn't concentrate on his studies and couldn't even finish reading the basic textbook on alchemical linguistics.

Every time Beatrice assigned classwork and required it to be submitted before the end of get out of class, this fellow villager with dyslexia would dawdle for a long time before barely filling the paper, his old and gloomy face looking bitter and resentful.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Little Moben Riley will inevitably fail his courses, and a large portion of them will fail as well.

Of the 25 exams, perhaps only the exam on colossal creation could barely be passed.

Xia Zuo watched as Xiao Moben ate his meal with a worried expression.

The way the other person opened a book after finishing their meal looked as if they had drunk a bitter poison.

The opportunity is here.

Xia Zuo found the notebook he had prepared beforehand, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and headed towards Xiao Moben.

"Hi, Little Moben." He sat down directly opposite the other person.

Xiao Moben frowned, looked up from his book, and asked hesitantly, "Xia Zuo? What do you want to see me about?"

Xia Zuo glanced at the contents of the other person's book, "The Magic Herb Catalogue is quite difficult. It took me a lot of time to memorize it."

"It's...it's quite difficult..." Xiao Moben lowered his head and sighed silently.

"Take a look at this."

Xia Zuo handed over the notebook. "There are only four of us freshmen in Rosac City. We should help each other, shouldn't we?"

"What's this.."

Xiao Moben opened the notebook's cover; the first page contained a handwritten table of contents, covering 25 basic course textbooks.

"I prepared my own study materials according to the exam syllabus."

Following the page numbers displayed in the table of contents, Xiao Moben turned to the section on poison alchemy.

These dozen or so pages contain detailed notes on the creation of poisons and the identification of toxins, which are of great help in answering application questions in poison alchemy exams.

Of all the freshmen, only Xia Zuo remained in the Department of Poison Alchemy.

The insights on toxin identification in this exam preparation material are absolutely unique in the entire grade.

He received many advances from other classmates because of this, but he shamelessly rejected them all, citing the reason that his advisor did not allow the matter to be made public.

Masson and Brandon spent two months in the Poison Alchemy Department.

They became secondary targets for many classmates seeking information about poison alchemy.

However, the learning materials that circulated from them were few and incomplete, far inferior to the ones Xia Zuo had presented.

Even the most slow-witted person like Xiao Moben could understand how important this study material was to him.

His eyes were full of expectation as he looked at Xia Zuo, "Could you... lend it to me for a few days?"

"This was originally prepared for you," Xia Zuo said sincerely, though he was secretly delighted.

"Prepared for me..." Xiao Moben glanced down at the clear, neat handwriting on the pages. "Thank you..."

Xia Zuo pointed to the notebook with his finger and said:

"But this preparation material is not yet complete."

"You know, there are many students studying medicine and oils, so I can easily find out information related to the exams."

"However, there are too few students studying Mega-Alchemy, and its alchemy area is not open to the public, so no practical experience has been passed down."

Xia Zuo reached out and flipped to the last dozen or so pages of the notebook; they were blank.

"The oil alchemy notes in this study material were provided by Anjou, and the potion alchemy notes were provided by Clémüller."

"The four of us are all from Rosac, and we happen to be in four different subjects. We should support each other and work together to prepare for the upcoming exams."

"Could you help us complete the operational manual for the Alchemy of Giant Objects?"

"I guarantee that only you, me, Keli, and Anru will be able to see the study materials we created together."

Xiao Moben's hands, resting on the table, trembled slightly, his fingers curling and unfolding. "I'm not sure if I can do it."

Xia Zuo noticed that his finger joints were thicker than normal, and the handwriting on the books was somewhat messy and the characters were relatively wide, making it a bit tiring to read. He guessed that it would be slower for him to write as well.

Fortunately, we had thought of a solution in advance.

"Little Moben, I have an idea. While reviewing the Alchemy of Megalomorphs, I discovered many problems that require practical experience to solve. I've written them all down."

Xia Zuo took another notebook out of his schoolbag:

"I'll ask the questions, and you'll answer them. I'll also write down your answers. What do you think?"

Xiao Moben smiled, feeling relieved that he didn't have to write anything. "Okay, ask away. I'll tell you whatever I know."

"Let's begin."

Xia Zuo picked up his pen and looked at the first question on the notebook:

"According to the book on macroscopic physics, when creating curved metal surfaces, you can use cardboard made during the design phase to measure the curvature of the surface. However, the book doesn't explain how to measure it. Could you demonstrate it?"

Xiao Moben nodded silently, tore a few pages from the blank notebook, folded them into several models, and demonstrated the measurement process.

"Okay, I understand."

Xia Zuo lowered his head and quickly wrote a few lines, then looked at the second question.

The two talked in the restaurant for about two hours.

Xia Zuo suddenly had a flash of insight and understood how to solve the application problems of giant creation science.

This subject requires excellent spatial imagination.

If you feel that your spatial awareness is not good, you can use scratch paper to fold a rough model to help answer the questions.

He wrote down his answers to the remaining twenty-odd questions and then handed them to little Murben across the table for review.

The other person points out the mistakes, and then uses their hands and a tissue to demonstrate the correct solution.

It was almost dinner time.

"Thank you, Moben. With your insights, I feel much more confident about the exam."

Xia Zuo packed his schoolbag with satisfaction.

“Xia Zuo,” Xiao Moben placed his hand on the study materials, “I know… I can’t pass the exam… but thank you for your help anyway.”

He sighed softly, "Hmph, perhaps for me, returning to Rosac and inheriting my father's blacksmith shop isn't such a bad thing."

Xia Zuo didn't know how to comfort the other person, so he patted him on the shoulder and then found a dining table to sit down.

Two minutes later.

"I'm here!"

Anru sat down next to him, affectionately putting her arm around his shoulder, and said:

"I saw Xiao Moben. Did you two talk this afternoon?"

Xia Zuo could sense the strange look Zhou was giving him, but he didn't care at all.

He has excellent grades and a girlfriend to keep him company. Tsk tsk tsk, anyone would be envious.

It's not scary for a top student to have romantic relationships; what's scary is that while enjoying the company of the opposite sex, they still get perfect scores on every class test.

Xia Zuo patted his schoolbag and said with a smile:

"You've passed the exam for the Giant Alchemy subject as well. I'll copy it onto your study materials after dinner."

"Uh-huh!"

Anru nodded with a smile, her braid swaying up and down at the back of her head.

Xia Zuo gently stroked her soft hair. "You must keep my 25 textbooks marked with exam points safe. This is our secret, and we can't let anyone else know."

Anruer moved closer, hugged her waist, and pressed her face against her shoulder. "Don't worry. Unless you're right next to me, I absolutely won't take it out to look at."

"That's good."

Xia Zuo patted her slender waist, reached for the menu, made a few marks, and then rang the bell to summon his elemental servants.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

There are only two weeks left until the final exams.

Today is Monday.

The first class in the morning was the head of the department's Alchemical Linguistics.

Beatrice walked into the classroom under the watchful eyes of the students:
