Chapter 30 (1/2)

Two hours pa.s.sed quickly. When the paper was put in front of Huang Xuan, he was all at sea with the questions and looked left and right. The funny thing was that all the students were doing the same thing as him.

The headteacher gave two coughs and said, ”Do the paper by yourself. It's just a quiz to examine your studies. Relax. Just do it carefully.”

Monkey sitting behind Huang Xuan said in a low voice, ”The same remarks every time. Yet, they send me to the platform every time.”

Huang Xuan couldn't help laughing quietly. Hou Minyue's father, the boss in Yadong Industrial Corporation, was a billionaire who never knew how many houses he had and never got married. He had started his business from real estate and kept busy. Thus, Monkey's education had become a big problem. He hung around a lot with the group and had done a terrible job with his studies.

The headteacher looked around and didn't find anything suspicious. Her teaching skill was average, but she was excellent at arranging seats. The students would be able to copy n.o.body's answers around them; however, to be honest, there were few students that were good enough to be copied in the cla.s.s.

In front, Wei Mujian was already answering the questions. Huang Xuan looked at the paper and started writing too.

It was his mother tongue after all. Although he was clueless what the questions were about, he eventually ”answered” them all and put his pen down. Seeing the confused looks on his fellows' faces, he was proud of himself.

”According to my a.n.a.lysis, you stand a chance of getting less than 50% of the questions correct.” Rolin always gave a blow to Huang Xuan's confidence at a bad timing.

Huang Xuan closed the paper carelessly, lowered his head and said, ”They are multiple choices anyway. I have elevated the chance from 25% to 50%. Good enough for me.”

After a while, Rolin's voice was heard again, ”According to the information I got from your headteacher, your correction rate for the whole paper is under 60%.”

”Fail?” Huang Xuan blinked his eyes and asked, ”Do you have the answers?”

”I've just got them.” Rolin was modest and never felt superior to humans. ”If you need a precise correction rate, I can scan her habit of grading compositions and give a grading range.”

There were only 20 minutes left. Huang Xuan blocked his face with one arm and said in a hurry, ”Don't bother. I know you are precise. Tell me the answers.”

Huang Xuan clapped himself on the head and said, ”How stupid I am! How could I forget to use Rolin, which is such a good resource.”

Rolin didn't help Huang Xuan at once but said in a calm tone, ”I need something in return after I have helped you.”

”I knew it.” Huang Xuan clapped himself again on the head. ”How much electricity?”

”I need some servers with outstanding properties and plenty of hard drives.”

”You even want something so archaic?” Huang Xuan was confused. Although he had promised to buy Rolin some hard drives, he had been just kidding. It seemed ridiculous for Rolin who was from the future to use hard drives which were so out of date.

”The upgrade of a 24th-level buffer will help reduce the energy consumption. When the base is at level 21, it will be capable of basic manufacturing. Depending on your ability to get the material, I think it should be purchased ahead.”

Huang Xuan said ”Hmm” in contempt. ”'According to my ability to get the material. If you have another person to do it, you will know that few people can get the material for you as I have done.

”Currently, base security is the priority, upgrading second, and getting the material third—”

”So the third in the order can't affect the first,” Huang Xuan interrupted him right away. ”You are really earnest about it. OK. I will buy them for you. But, two million at most. If I buy more, I won't even have money for bread.”

Rolin didn't respond to that and started telling him the answers, ”A, C, C…”

Huang Xuan sighed as he wrote the answers, feeling that Rolin had become smarter who had even known how to evade major issues. He was afraid that his wallet would be lighter.

Now that he couldn't even pa.s.s Chinese, in which he did best among the three subjects, Huang Xuan lost faith in the other two. It proved that he was right.
