322. Chapter 322: Cheating on the Final Exam

After a good while, Bai Zhou saw that the two of them were nearly finished and were leaning against the wall to rest, so he walked to the door and pressed the doorbell.

"Ding-dong~"

Because being disturbed is a major taboo when conducting experiments, the doorbell's sound was very soft, but with a Soul Master's hearing, it was still detectable.

Inside the laboratory, Orange and Meng Hongchen had originally intended to slack off and rest for a while, but upon suddenly hearing the doorbell, both of them were so startled that they stood straight up.

"Who... it couldn't be Teacher Xuan coming for a surprise inspection, could it..."

Meng Hongchen tugged at the corner of Orange's clothes, saying with some fear.

Although Teacher Xuan was very good, he was also extremely strict, and he gave absolutely no face to her grandfather; she had truly been a bit scared these past few days...

"That shouldn't be it; Teacher Xuan has never had the hobby of conducting surprise inspections." Orange was relatively calm; she shook her head lightly, then walked over and opened the door directly.

When they saw the man standing outside, both of them were stunned.

"Sister Orange, Xiao Meng, have you been doing alright lately?" Bai Zhou greeted them with a smile.

"Ah! Little White, you're finally back, boohoo!!!" Ju Zi exclaimed, leaping forward directly, completely disregarding her image, and threw herself fiercely into Bai Zhou's arms.

"Bai Zhou, you've finally come; these past few days have exhausted us to death..." Meng Hongchen also walked over, hugging Bai Zhou gently, looking so aggrieved she was about to cry.

Clearly, the two of them had lived very difficult lives during these days without Bai Zhou.

It was truly because the two of them relied too heavily on Bai Zhou in their daily lives; with Bai Zhou's assistance, it could be said that they basically never encountered any difficulties.

But once Bai Zhou left, the two of them were back to square one overnight; although the final exam wasn't very difficult, compared to the ease and comfort of their usual days, it was still far too painful.

"Haha, didn't I come back now~"

Bai Zhou laughed heartily, hurriedly hugging the two of them to comfort them, and even turned his head to kiss each of them on the cheek.

Final assessments are a very agonizing time, whether for ordinary students or genius students.

In his past life, as a corporate slave in university, he naturally had a deep understanding of the hardships during final exam periods, and at this moment, he felt the same way and understood their feelings very well.

"Hmph hmph, if you hadn't come back, we really would have been driven crazy..." Orange puffed out her cheeks, humming with dissatisfaction.

Of course, her dissatisfaction wasn't because Bai Zhou didn't do experiments with them, but because Bai Zhou had run off outside for so long; who knows if this guy went off to flirt with other girls...

"Exactly, exactly!" Meng Hongchen also feigned anger, clearly standing on a united front with Orange to resist "foreign enemies" and avoid invasion by a third party.

"Haha, alright, alright, let me see the content of your final assessment~"

Bai Zhou laughed it off and hurriedly changed the subject.

Looking at the two of them, they had indeed been tortured quite a bit by this final exam over the past few days, and Bai Zhou naturally wouldn't mind lending a hand.

Although the two of them needed tempering, they didn't need too much; just experiencing it a little is enough.

Bai Zhou wouldn't let them become flowers in a greenhouse, because that wasn't a good thing for them.

But Bai Zhou also wouldn't train them into some "iron-blooded warriors," because he was invincible and had the confidence to protect everyone he wanted to protect, so naturally, he didn't need them to work too hard.

He didn't have any special hobby of torturing people.

Compared to tempering them crazily, Bai Zhou would rather have them live happily and more easily.

Life is short; enjoy it while you can.

Instead of suffering needlessly.

Cultivation is the same as earning money in his past life.

You can earn money by enduring hardship.

But once you've earned enough money, there's no need to endure hardship; not only do you not need to suffer, but you should also ensure the people around you don't have to suffer either.

Orange and Meng Hongchen pulled Bai Zhou over and explained the content of the final assessment to him. Bai Zhou felt a strange sense of familiarity with the content of this assessment; he hadn't expected it to be asking the two of them to perfect and manufacture the "All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool."

Bai Zhou still had quite an impression of this soul tool; after he obtained Meng Hongchen's authorization, he had mastered almost all the research secrets of the entire Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Academy and Mingde Hall.

This thing's level could be considered "Level 1 Confidential Content," and it could be said to be a very important project.

After all, if this thing were researched successfully, it could play a huge role in large-scale wars.

In the original work, the reason the Sun Moon Empire's army was so powerful, besides their own solid strength, was that this soul tool also played a very important role; its importance was completely not inferior to high-level Fixed Soul Tool Cannons, and it could be called a strategic-level soul tool! Of course, this period was still a long way from the great war, and this All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool was still in the research and development stage, equivalent to the "infancy" of humans; it had just been born not long ago, had many shortcomings, and even many functions were still in the theoretical stage.

Orange and Meng Hongchen were both Level 5 Soul Tool Masters, so conducting preliminary research and manufacturing of this All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool was also no small test for them.

And Teacher Xuan could grade them based on the finished product they finally produced, which was equivalent to settling their battle record.

"Hmm, the assessment Teacher Xuan gave you is quite standard and doesn't make things too difficult; you're asking me to help you cheat~" Bai Zhou shrugged his shoulders after learning the content of the assessment.

The assessment content Teacher Xuan set for the two of them was standard and didn't make things too difficult; getting a perfect score was hard, but passing was easy.

If he were to intervene, it would really be no different from using a cheat, resulting in an instant perfect score.

"Hmph hmph, what does that matter? Anyway, you're also considered part of our laboratory." Meng Hongchen pouted.

"That's right, when I first pulled you over, my original intention was to have you guide my cultivation; it's very normal for you to provide some guidance when we encounter problems during the assessment, it's not like I'm asking you to complete it for us." Although Orange felt a bit guilty, she still stiffened her neck and argued.

Clearly, she had also formed a significant reliance on Bai Zhou; without Bai Zhou's help, she felt a bit unconfident.

Of course, the most important reason was because her beliefs had undergone a subtle change.

Before meeting Bai Zhou, for the sake of revenge and to gain power from Xu Tianran, she would learn at all costs to make herself stronger and become qualified to take revenge personally.

And now...

She had tasted the benefits of relying on others; as long as she relied on Bai Zhou, once Bai Zhou grew up, she could take revenge without needing to work hard herself.

Enjoying comfort and ease is human nature; having become accustomed to an easy life and accustomed to Bai Zhou's guidance and assistance, she naturally didn't want to go back to researching bitterly on her own...

"Alright, alright, then let me take a look, but I'm only providing guidance and perfecting it; the rest of the work still has to be done by you two~"

Seeing this, Bai Zhou had no choice but to agree.

Of course, he wouldn't take everything upon himself.

After all, this is like playing a game; you can cheat to slightly modify the difficulty of clearing the level.

But if you clear the level instantly, the game loses its fun entirely.

Just like Bai Zhou's Wishing System; he was very satisfied with the current system, as it was challenging.

But if he were given a system without restrictions, Bai Zhou would definitely wish to become the "strongest being in the ancient, present, future, universe, and wilderness."

Bai Zhou was certain that on the second day after becoming the strongest, he would be unable to bear the boredom and would directly reincarnate to start over.

Who knows, perhaps in his past life, he really did become the strongest being in some era of the universe, couldn't bear the loneliness, and thus chose to reincarnate onto the Blue Star, then created an accident for himself to travel to the Douluo Continent, and then designed a system for himself...

Bai Zhou shook his head, ending his wild imagination.

Setting other things aside, he had to give an account to Teacher Xuan.

If he helped them cheat, Teacher Xuan might just turn a blind eye.

But if he helped them take the exam, Teacher Xuan definitely wouldn't be happy.

After all, Teacher Xuan was very strict as a teacher and very responsible for his students.

If he went too far, the other party definitely wouldn't be happy.
