When system cheat becomes rampant!
Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Friendship Price

"Where can I check the results?" Xiang Qingde asked, pretending to be casual.

"At the school," Xiang Beifei replied.

In the world of the system, results are not private. Everyone has a system, and the ranking of results is sometimes related to many people's system tasks, so schools publish everyone's ranking.

Part of the reason is to consider the teachers; after all, their teaching is largely dependent on their students' results to gain system points—admission rates, the number of high-scoring students... these all determine many teachers' system tasks.

Another part is to consider the students, such as who has surpassed whom in results to complete a system task. Many learning-related systems issue such tasks.

Due to level suppression within the system, if the results are not made public, there are many restrictions—like N-level and R-level systems unable to judge if they have exceeded an S-level host's results, making it impossible to confirm task completion.

Therefore, to accommodate the Awakeners with N-level and R-level systems, it's necessary to publish the rankings for confirmation.

"Then this afternoon, shall I accompany you to the school?" Xiang Qingde asked.

"Okay."

Xiang Beifei had no objections.

After eating, they headed to the school. In the middle of the day, the school was still filled with anxious parents and students, many of whom had come early to wait for the results to be announced.

There was a honor roll at the school gate, with results directly transmitted from the Alliance Education Bureau to the honor rolls at each school.

The ranking within the school, within each respective Liangzhou, as well as the overall Jiuzhou ranking, were all clearly displayed on the honor roll.

The results had not yet been released, and the grandfather-grandson pair waited under the shade of a tree.

As for his own results, Xiang Beifei had a good idea, but it was different for Xiang Qingde.

As a grandparent, he was restless, worried about poor results affecting Xiang Beifei, and he was already thinking about how to comfort his grandson.

"Xiaofei, no matter how well or poorly you did, Grandpa will always be with you, so don't be nervous," Xiang Qingde reassured him.

Nervous?

Xiang Beifei smiled wryly to himself.

Just like on the day of the college entrance exams, the nervous one was not him.

"I understand," Xiang Beifei said.

Xiang Qingde looked around among the crowd and noticed both the teachers and the school leaders waiting; he immediately spotted Principal Li Nanxing.

Decades ago, when his own son awakened to an SR-level talent, causing a sensation throughout the school, he had met Principal Li Nanxing once and recognized him.

Thinking about how he, as a grandparent busy making a living, had never interacted with his grandson's teachers, he felt a wave of guilt.

He wondered if the principal still remembered him.

"Never mind that, Xiaofei's grades are so poor, and he just agreed to attend tutoring classes. Even if the principal doesn't remember me, I must still go and entreat them," he resolved.

Xiang Qingde was willing to set aside any concerns about face for the sake of his grandson's future.

This matter could not be delayed. Currently, everyone was waiting for the results and no parent was approaching the principal about retaking a year. Once the results came out, whether it was the teachers or the principal, they would likely be too busy, and replaceing a spot in repeat classes would become much harder.

He stood up, wiped off his sweat, and said to Xiang Beifei, "Xiaofei, Grandpa needs to step away for a moment, wait here for me."

Xiang Beifei nodded; he did not know what his grandfather was actually up to. Taking advantage of the lull, he continued practicing his control of "Abruptly Stop" under the tree.

But at this moment, Lu Zhiwei appeared out of nowhere.

"I've kept my promise and didn't bother you these past few days, but I'm here for the results announcement!" she declared.

Lu Zhiwei walked towards him with her hands behind her back, looking quite smug.

"Don't you have classes to attend?" Xiang Beifei asked, seeing the ever-surprising Lu Zhiwei.

"University life is more relaxed; we don't have classes every day. Jealous, aren't you?" Lu Zhiwei teased.

That day, after learning about Xiang Beifei's poor academic performance from Grandpa Xiang, with only 43 points in comprehensive subjects, she was overjoyed!

```

I scored a whopping 621 points last year and got into Liangzhou University without any extra help, making me a top student. It's clear that Xiang Beifei is a poor student, so now I have the confidence to discuss studying and reasoning with him.

In order to deal with this tutoring class, she forced herself to refrain from looking for Xiang Beifei for another three days.

"Are you in a bad mood right now?" Lu Zhiwei inquired.

Xiang Beifei replied, "I'm okay."

Forcing a smile!

Pretending to be fat when slapped in the face!

Let's see how long you can keep this act up!

Lu Zhiwei triumphantly said, "Alright, Grandpa Xiang told me everything. I never expected this, never expected that even you have a weakness, huh."

Weakness?

Knowing that I usually wouldn't refuse Grandpa's requests, so you're using Grandpa to pressure me?

Xiang Beifei couldn't be bothered to say much more.

"Did Grandpa Xiang tell you everything?"

Lu Zhiwei sat down beside Xiang Beifei, making herself at home and feeling very pleased.

"What if he did?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"Okay! Let's cut to the chase. Grandpa Xiang cares about you, otherwise, why would he come to me to discuss this? The old man values nothing more than his grandson's future, right?" Lu Zhiwei said.

"What are you trying to say?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"I know you are a filial child who definitely doesn't want to disappoint your grandfather. How are you considering the private tutoring class issue?" Lu Zhiwei said with a grin.

Xiang Beifei thought it over; now truly, running a tutoring class could be quite profitable, but he didn't know how to set a fair tuition fee. How much should he charge per student?

Being so poor he could hear the wind whistling through his pockets, he wouldn't do anything that didn't bring in money.

He asked, "Since you've put it this way, what do you think would be an appropriate price for the tuition?"

——Ha! It looks like he agrees to let me tutor him! Even asking me how much to charge for one lesson! Read today on m,v,l,e,mpyr

Lu Zhiwei, who grew up with a golden key in her mouth, didn't lack money; she could completely afford to tutor Xiang Beifei for free as long as he agreed.

However, after thinking for a bit, she tentatively said, "One hundred per hour?"

She knew Xiang Beifei's family wasn't well off, so it wasn't really necessary to charge him, but she still had to go through the motions. At least, it would make Xiang Beifei value the lessons if they pinched his wallet a bit, and he'd be serious about studying.

As for the tuition fees, she could just take the money from Xiang Beifei and then quietly give it back to Grandpa Xiang.

After tutoring him a few times, she would have the justification to ask him to teach her reasoning skills!

At that time, with Xiang Beifei owing her a favor, he wouldn't be able to refuse!

A perfect plan.

"One hundred per hour?"

Xiang Beifei pondered.

So stingy!

Nowadays, standard rates at tutoring institutions are three to four hundred per hour! To tutor her for one hour and only charge one hundred?

Forget it, for the sake of Uncle Lu, I'll accept one hundred as a token amount, a friendship price.

But with such a fee, when would it be possible to gather the one hundred thousand tuition fee?

Should I replace a chance to raise the price next time?

Definitely, otherwise, it's a huge loss!
