Chapter 330: Campus Scholar System (2)

The bug Sub-system she needs to recycle in this plane is called the "Strongest Scholar System."

The Host this Sub-system is bound to is not her, but Jiang Yinian, a Scholar who has topped the year-end rankings at First High School for two consecutive years.

As for why the Scholar System bound itself to a Scholar instead of a slacker—logically, a slacker making a comeback via the Scholar System would be more interesting to watch... The Main System indicates that this is where the bug lies.

【When the Strongest Scholar System left the factory, it crossed channels with another Sub-system, which caused the factory inspection to be incomplete. After binding to a Host, it is prone to channel-hopping once it crashes, causing some uncontrollable factors, which has led to joint complaints from several previous Hosts.】

Xie Yang twitched the corner of her mouth; the product control of this high-dimensional civilization seems to be not so great.

The Main System understood the mocking expression of its Host and coughed lightly:

【Host, although the time node of your arrival differs slightly from the projection, and we failed to intercept the Sub-system before it bound to its Host, this mission is still considered simple compared to previous ones.】

【Host already understands the mission content; you only need to cooperate with Jiang Yinian to complete the Daily Learning Tasks issued by the Sub-system and assist him in completing the Ultimate Task as soon as possible—that is, achieving the "Strongest Scholar" achievement. In this way, the Sub-system will unbind from him, and Host will be able to successfully recycle the Sub-system.】

Xie Yang nodded. She had planned it this way too, which is why she let Comrade Lao Xie, who "hopes his daughter will become a phoenix," donate a Shiyan Lou to First High School to facilitate her transfer to First High School.

"Miss, we have arrived at First High School."

The driver thought she had fallen asleep and called out to her softly.

The car stopped steadily at the gate of First High School.

Xie Yang stretched and pushed the car door open to get out.

"Miss." The driver walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk. "President Xie asked me to prepare a new schoolbag and a full set of new stationery for you. I wish you a fresh start in your new environment."

Xie Yang: "..."

Come to think of it, when the original owner was attending the International High School, she seemed too lazy to even carry a schoolbag; there wasn't a single book related to studying in her desk cubby, only comics, merchandise, and flashy magazines.

She couldn't very well bring a pile of leisure books to First High School, could she? Would the teachers at First High School welcome her?

So she simply didn't bring anything, and she had her lackeys help send those leisure books that the original owner regarded as treasures back home.

One minute later, Xie Yang, carrying the academy-style patent leather schoolbag that Comrade Lao Xie had selected via remote video, containing a set of high school essentials with their exquisite packaging just removed, and sporting diamond earrings that sparkled in the sunlight and a few wisps of granny-gray bangs on her forehead, stepped into the gate of First High School.

"News! Big news! A transfer student is coming to our class!"

Du Huaiyao, who held the title of "the Informant" in Class (11) of Grade 12, darted into the classroom and shouted excitedly.

Most of the students in the Experimental Class who were still working on problems at their seats during the break raised their heads upon hearing this:

"Huh? It's been almost a month since school started, and a transfer student is still coming? Is that for real?"

Du Huaiyao patted his chest: "I heard it with my own ears when the Dean of Students told Lao Ban. Could it be fake?"

"Coming straight to our class? It seems the new classmate's grades must be pretty good."

In the past, transfer students coming to First High School had to go through monthly exam rankings to determine which class they would be transferred to; before that, they would all attend classes in parallel classes.

Du Huaiyao revealed a mysterious smile: "Grades... it's hard to say, because they are transferring from the International High School."

"!!!"

International High School?

Is that the International High School they know of, where you can get in just by having money and don't need to take the domestic College Entrance Examination?

That is indeed hard to say.

It doesn't rule out that there are exceptionally outstanding Scholars aiming for prestigious universities like Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Oxford, or Cambridge, but... the probability is high that they are a slacker.

"Informant, did you find out if it's a boy or a girl?"

"That's not clear, but we'll know soon. Listening to Lao Ma's tone, it seems they are already on their way."

As soon as the words fell, they heard the boy sitting by the window in the first row hold up his index finger and "shush": "Lao Ban is here!"

The whole class immediately fell silent.

The Informant also quickly darted back to his seat.

Before sitting down, he turned his head and whispered to Jiang Yinian, who was in the back row and hadn't looked up to listen to the gossip once, but had been burying his head in a book the whole time:

"Nian Shen, you should be prepared. Only you and Lao Zheng have single desks; the probability of you two sitting with the new student is fifty-fifty."

Jiang Yinian gave an "un-huh," seemingly not taking it to heart.

He appeared to be reading with focused attention, but in reality, he was exploring an alien product that claimed to be the "Strongest Scholar System."

【Dear Host, I am the Strongest Scholar System, here to assist you in becoming an all-around Scholar and turning your life around. As long as the Host completes every learning task according to the progress I have planned, you can receive Financial Aid of varying amounts; once you reach 500 yuan, you can withdraw it. Completing the main mission—becoming an all-around Scholar in the national spotlight—will earn you a 10 million Ultimate Financial Aid.】

【Ding! Now issuing Daily Learning Task—】

【Task 1: Recite one piece of classical Chinese, reward for completion is 10 yuan in Financial Aid (Pending)】

【Task 2: Recite 20 English words, reward for completion is 20 yuan in Financial Aid (Pending)】

【Task 3: Recite one English text, reward for completion is 50 yuan in Financial Aid (Pending)】

【Task 4: Solve one final math problem, reward for completion is 80 yuan in Financial Aid (Pending)】

【Task 5: Correct one recent test paper, reward for completion is 100 yuan in Financial Aid (Pending)】

【Task 6:...】

A few minutes later—

【Ding! Classical Chinese recitation completed, reward has been credited!】

【Ding! English word dictation completed, reward has been credited!】

【Ding! English text recitation completed, reward has been credited!】

【Ding! Final math problem solved correctly, reward has been credited!】

【Ding! Recent test paper corrected, reward has been credited!】

【Ding!...】

Jiang Yinian looked down at the perfect-score math paper in his hand that didn't need any corrections, then listened to the series of reward credit sounds in his mind, and fell into deep thought.

This "Strongest Scholar System" seems a bit not-so-bright.

He spent about ten minutes brushing the Daily Learning Tasks it issued from "Pending" to "Completed," and it really rewarded him... a total of 510 yuan in Financial Aid.

Once he reached 500, he could withdraw it, so he poked the withdrawal button with his consciousness.

Then... the old-fashioned phone that rarely made a sound inside the desk cubby vibrated once.

He took it out and glanced at it.

【(Zhongfu Bank) Respected customer, your account ending in 1151 received a transfer of 510 Silver on September 22nd at 15:17.】

Jiang Yinian: "..."

Is this for real?

This earns way more than a part-time job.

Earning 500 in ten minutes, he could grind through such a Task from morning until night.

The question is, how did it manage that?

It didn't exploit a loophole in the bank, did it? Did it transfer money from those dormant accounts into his account?

Wouldn't that mean he is indirectly committing financial crimes?

Jiang Yinian narrowed his eyes.

【Rest assured, Host, the withdrawal channel is absolutely safe and compliant; if you don't believe it, you can check the bank statement.】

Is that so?

Jiang Yinian did not quite believe it.

But just then, the head teacher walked in, so he put the old-fashioned phone back into the desk cubby, put away the problem sets and test papers he had taken out to explore and experiment, and lifted his head.

The head teacher of Class 11, Liu Juan, was an old teacher with a stern appearance, a strict personality, and twenty years of teaching experience; she mostly kept a straight face and rarely smiled, but at this moment, she seemed to be wearing a smile.

Why say "seemed"? Because that smile looked like it had been forced out—seven parts strained, two parts complicated, and the remaining one part helpless.

Behind her followed a girl with very short, cool hair, a row of ear studs in her ear, a few strands of milk-gray highlights in her bangs, and wearing the International High School uniform—a suit skirt said to cost two or three thousand per set.

Experimental Class top student: "..."

Holy crap!

This transfer student is kind of cool!

She actually dares to ignore school rules—wearing ear studs and dyeing her hair!

Then, a second thought: Oh, she just transferred from International High School, so that's fine!
