Chapter 197: Restarting Studies_2
The credit points are almost enough for a First Level Citizen to complete half of the path to upgrading to the Second Level.
If you try to obtain such points by means of donations or taxes, you would need to donate up to twenty million points.
You have to know, it is extremely difficult for ordinary citizens to earn points, this is a godsend opportunity.
Even more so, if you go to work in the mining area and take a middle management position, it's like climbing onto the big tree of Purple Crystal Mining, which means that citizens below the Fourth Level will have the chance to follow Purple Crystal Mining and climb another step upward, achieving a qualitative change in fate.
Purple Crystal Mining rarely recruits externally in ordinary times.
Therefore, citizens with savings at home flock to it, especially those below the Fourth Level.
Additionally, as a prestigious school on Source Star, the tuition at Liao Yuan Academy is also relatively expensive.
Citizens who are not in such good condition can also go to other less developed educational areas to attend ordinary classes that only cost five hundred thousand, but the passing rate is even lower.
When Ren Zhong arrived at the classroom with the assistant's guidance, stepping on the Flying Device, the teacher inside had just finished the theory course and indicated everyone to take a ten-minute break, with the next step being the start of the experiment course.
Subsequently, the old professor first introduced Ren Zhong, the wealthy new classmate, to the others.
The reason why this old man directly called Ren Zhong a nouveau riche has its reasons.
This session's advanced class has already completed 70% of the course teaching and is set to graduate in 17 days.
The admissions department made it very clear to Ren Zhong and strongly advised him to wait for the next session.
The admissions department is not one to refuse money, but even under the normal 60-day study, the passing rate is as low as 12.5%, which ranks among the top ten in many county-level academies on Source Star, but Ren Zhong's insertion turned the class size from 20 into a forced 21, not to mention, he is almost certainly going to fail.
The pass rate directly affects the reputation of Liao Yuan Academy, so the admissions office naturally would not easily relent.
But where there are rules at the top, there are strategies at the bottom; Ren Zhong chose to spend more money and also commissioned his "old friend" Ma Shu to put pressure from Yangsheng City, looking for a solution.
Eventually, he still got in.
The old professor's displeasure was normal too.
The wealthy Ren Zhong was indeed affecting the professor's own pass rate, if not for the fact that the school gave him an extra two hundred thousand bonus because of this matter, he wouldn't have agreed.
But in the end, the old man wasn't too excessive, he just praised Ren Zhong's eagerness to learn and stopped there. He was a little worried that Ren Zhong, a transfer student who was clearly paying money and lowering the pass rate, would incur dissatisfaction from the other citizens in the class.
He didn't expect that as soon as Ren Zhong stepped onto the stage and finished his self-introduction, there was already thunderous applause below.
Ren Zhong, although only a town citizen and has only been a citizen for one week,
but he has already directly skipped the First Level and became a Second Level Citizen.
Not only that, he himself holds the Ruined Beast mining rights in such a big town as Chromium Carbon Town, and is an enterprise owner worth billions, a genuine wealthy first generation, fundamentally different from most of the young people present.
Although he couldn't compare to big figures, he is already not a small role compared to the vast majority of citizens.
Most importantly, Ren Zhong is now a hot topic in the daily headlines, being a newly emerging internet celebrity.
Liao Yuan County and Starfire Town are close at hand, few students here didn't know about Ren Zhong's miraculous achievement of a Fourth Level defeating a Level Six just yesterday.
Who doesn't like a celebrity?
The enthusiasm from the classmates made Ren Zhong somewhat at a loss.
After the admissions office and the assistant girl laid the groundwork in advance, he originally thought he would be given a blow.
He smiled broadly and said, "Thank you for your welcome, I hope we can get along happily in the coming 17 days."
A loud voice from the front row laughed heartily, "Boss Ren, you're thinking too much, I think we're at least going to spend 77 days together, maybe even 137 days."
Ren Zhong was perplexed, "Huh? How's that? Aren't we graduating in 17 days?"
That loud voice chuckled, "What are you thinking? If you can't pass, you'll have to repeat. I'm already on the second session."
A well-dressed lady next to him teased, "Wu Loudmouth, you're not thinking Boss Ren is you, are you? Boss Ren is incredibly smart, tight schedule this time, he might not pass the assessment, but he'll definitely pass next time."
Ren Zhong was stunned.
Can't pass?
This issue never crossed his mind at all.
After all, his main purpose here is merely to solve the issues with the Demon Infant Corpse and the Alien Ore.
As for exams and certificates, it wasn't part of his plan at all.
At this moment, Wu Loudmouth spoke again, "Boss Ren, are you also here for Citizen Credit Points? You're already so wealthy, you won't go to work for Purple Crystal Mining, will you? You won't compete with us for places, right?"
Ren Zhong was bewildered, "Citizen Credit Points?"
He turned back and looked at the beautiful assistant behind him blankly.
The assistant also looked at him blankly.
How could it be that you spent four million to learn this most expensive advanced class and didn't even know about Citizen Points?
Just one look at the assistant's expression, and Ren Zhong immediately realized something was off.
He quickly covered it up with a hearty laugh, "Of course. Who doesn't love Credit Points, right?"
No need to ask, he already knew the answer.
In general, Ren Zhong's academic career's start was pretty okay.
He suddenly felt that perhaps citizens weren't as he feared, so unpleasant.
Not much happened today.
In the morning, because he suddenly transferred classes, he missed the theoretical lecture. The old lecturer had him learn theoretical courses by himself first, and then watch others' steps to do the experiment after finishing, then took others to the experimental class.
The ceiling of the classroom opened, and twenty-one mechanical arms holding trays came down.
On the trays were jars and bottles, contains various solutions, Ruined Beast tissue fluid, mineral raw stone, and other things, as well as more than a dozen mini simple devices.
The old man didn't expect Ren Zhong to start hands-on today, taking care of others all the way through.
Half an hour later, he saw Ren Zhong was already starting to move, and the old man's lips twitched disdainfully.
Fine, anyway, there are no explosives in today's samples, nothing will blow up.
If there's no big problem, small ones don't matter.
An hour later, Ren Zhong raised his hand, "Teacher, I've completed the simulated reaction. What should I do next?"
The old man and other students, who had failed two or three times and wasted nearly half the samples, widened their eyes.
What the heck!
Normally, because many parameters are hidden, simulation failures are par for the course.
Finishing one simulation before all samples are exhausted, exploring material properties and the correct handling method, is the standard for passing the Fourth Level Certificate assessment.
Who does it like this, skips the basic knowledge, and directly gets hands-on?
What do you call this? Ghost adventurer?
Unbeknownst to others, Ren Zhong was secretly relieved, the self-taught foundation in the previous timeline saved him, just covered the advanced experiment today.
Almost couldn't understand the theory class, almost couldn't calculate the reasonable ratio, almost failed and made a fool of himself.
