Chapter 77: Beating Roommate

  That night, I returned to the dormitory again, with a long-lost feeling. It has been more than half a year since I came to the college, but the time I spent living in the dormitory was really not much.

  When my dorm-mates saw me appear, they first asked some probing questions. I smiled and answered one by one. They found that the so-called "prodigy" youngster - the dorm leader of room 9906 - hadn't changed a bit, still as gentle and kind-hearted as ever. One by one, they gradually put down their guard, curiously asking this and that like a group of babies, while I tried to satisfy their curiosity while keeping some secrets safe.

  It was just a few hours of chatting, but the atmosphere was so relaxing and enjoyable. I really enjoyed the conversation with my roommates, and their curiosity was also satisfied.

  I see all my friends have finished asking their questions, now it's my turn to ask one by one. I couldn't help but ask:

  "Do you know where we have class tomorrow? Or is there a specific schedule?"

  Li Gui replied, "You don't know this yet? Oh, right, you've hardly been around the school; it's like this, from the first to third year of courses are all public subjects, including five disciplines: being a person and etiquette, language, history and geography, literary foundation, and arithmetic."

  "Every Monday to Friday, different subjects are taught in rotation. Classes start at 8:00 am every morning and end at 12:00 pm. There are no classes in the afternoons or on weekends. Of course, there may be occasional lectures by teachers or classmates in the afternoons, with diverse content, which interested students can attend."

  "The location is in any of the large classrooms in the first, second or third teaching building. Due to the limited class time, the content taught each semester is almost the same, so most of the learning still relies on oneself; this is also the dean's autonomous learning and proactive learning theory; if you want to know more, you can go to the library to borrow the dean's notes, of course, such books are usually not available for borrowing. They're too popular!"

  After listening to Li Guizhang's lengthy introduction, I had a general understanding of the course. At this time, however, another question arose, and so I asked:

  "So how can we distinguish between students in grades one to three?"

  "This is probably related to credits, I'm not quite sure. If Old Liu were here, he might know." Li Guizhang said uncertainly, still unaware that Liu Jinsong had been eliminated by me.

  "I roughly know some, it seems that when the credits reach a certain level, they can be promoted to the second year, and one more level is the third year. If the credits are very high, they will be promoted to the fourth year or higher; Moreover, for languages, it seems that you need to pass the exam to be promoted to the fourth year or above." Yan Jun told me what he knew.

  "I also know that when I went to the fourth grade, different classes (liberal arts class, martial arts class and liberal arts & martial arts class) had different study content and promotion conditions, specifically I'm not very clear either, let me just simply tell you guys."

  Dai Pu this gloomy man. Insisted that everyone did not know when he was willing to perform, he sorted out his thoughts and slowly said:

  "The Wen class upgrade is mainly based on the corresponding achievements in literary strategy or business management, while the Wu class upgrade is mainly based on PPS. Fourth grade is below 500 PPS; for every additional 100 PPS, you advance one grade; accordingly, tenth grade is for those with over 1,000 PPS - they are pre-graduates and can graduate as long as they complete their graduation tasks. Wen and Wu classes can choose either of these two ways to upgrade, I really envy them."

  After listening to Depp's introduction, I got the upgrade method above grade 4, but there is still doubt, and asked again:

  "Uh-huh, I know this, so how do I get credits?"

  "I know this!" Li Gui Kan exclaimed excitedly, as if answering my question was his honor.

  The other classmates all burst out laughing, not ridiculing him, but after being with him for half a year, they basically understood his personality, and this was a friendly laugh; as for me, although I hadn't been with him for long, I'm still pretty good at reading people, he's just a kind and honest person, willing to help others, without any ulterior motives, so I smiled and said:

  "Hmm, I'm looking forward to it, let's hear it."

  Li Gui originally looked a bit embarrassed, but after hearing my words, he seemed to have received praise and said in a loud and clear voice: "I know you all know, but Ming Ge doesn't know, I have to tell him."

  This "Ming Ge" made me feel extremely pleased, and suddenly I found Li Guikan very cute. After all, my soul is already an adult, and in my heart, I decided: this little brother, I acknowledge him. But on the surface, I didn't say anything, waiting quietly for what's next.

  The other little friends stopped laughing, and Li Gui finally said:

  "I can only give you a brief introduction, because there are too many ways to get credits. For example, creating poems, songs, articles and other works can be exchanged for credits with the instructor's approval; good speeches, suggestions, designs, etc. can also earn credits; participating in competitions, winning one game at a time, also has corresponding credits; going to the monster forest to hunt monsters and contribute back also has credits; hmm, the college has a special place to issue tasks, taking tasks and completing them can also earn credits... Specifically, you can go to the library to borrow relevant books, which is not difficult to borrow, hehe."

  "It looks like we don't have to worry about credits anymore." I casually sighed, but was met with criticism from my little friends.

  "This is too discouraging! I don't know how hard it is for us to get a credit." said a companion.

  "Yes, yes, it's really infuriating how some people can be so much more talented than others." Another companion complained.

  "It's better if you just keep it in your heart and never say it out loud."

  "You're just a big brother, from now on I'll have to call you Ming Ge too, Big Brother, Little Brother asks for protection."

  "Brother Ming, little brother is begging for mercy!" A strange cry, and all the buddies burst out laughing, of course without any malice.

  "En en, I've got everything, following Ming Ge, no need to worry about food and drink!" Knowing that my little friends are joking around, I also didn't speak seriously.

  "Really? From now on, I'll be with you, Ming Ge, and you will definitely strive to be in the top ten of the new life, I believe." Li Gui Kan surprisingly took it seriously, his face solemnly saying.

  I couldn't help but laugh inwardly, it's really adorable how naive you are, but I like it, so I also promised: "Don't worry, I won't let you down."

  "You must work hard then, I'm counting on you. If there's anything I can help with, just let me know, Ming Ge." Li Gui said with a silly expression, but his words were crystal clear.

  "Ming Ge, now that you've got a good ranking, don't forget about us!" The other buddies also didn't know whether he was being sincere or joking, and they all followed suit in toasting.

  Watching their entire process, I felt the need to stimulate them a bit. With a cold smile, I said: "Hey, you guys really lack ambition. As long as everyone is willing to work hard, you also have the opportunity to get a good ranking; but if you don't have confidence from the start and use that as an excuse not to try hard, then even if it's your own brother, he can't help you."

  The atmosphere suddenly became a bit oppressive, I didn't continue speaking, but quietly watched them, knowing that someone had understood, before saying:

  "Alright, it's not that I look down on you guys. After all, we're all from the same place and have a good relationship living together, which is why I'm bothering to tell you this. If it were someone else, I wouldn't even waste my breath, and they might even end up resenting me."

  "No, Brother Ming, you're right. Alas, it's all because of poverty and lack of resources! Your words today have made me determined, starting tomorrow I'll study hard and cultivate both literary and martial skills." Daipu said sincerely.

  "Right, so what if their qualifications are a bit off? There have been many great figures in history who didn't have good qualifications, but they still succeeded. Why can't we?" Dai Hong interjected.

  The other little buddies didn't say anything, but the light in their eyes showed determination. I smiled and nodded, then went to wash my feet and sleep.
