Star City Academy, cafeteria.

During breakfast, the eating trio gathered in the north corner.

At this moment, Feng Qi was eating breakfast and chatting with Lin Ran about the school’s teaching system.

During this period of time as a teacher at Star City Academy, he discovered a system flaw in Star City Academy.

All the students were memorizing the contents of the latest version of the Cultivation System Framework released by the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

This was because understanding this part of the content and passing the quarterly free assessment could increase credits and improve their year-end rating.

However, in Feng Qi’s opinion, this kind of behavior was completely unnecessary.

He understood that the students in the cultivation techniques research class needed to learn the latest version of the Cultivation System Framework. After all, this part of the content was indeed knowledge that these students ought to understand.

Only by understanding the content of the cultivation system updated in real-time could they understand the cultivation system more thoroughly.

However, there was no need for the combat classes, array classes, medical classes, and other classes to grasp this content.

Even if the students in these classes did not understand the content of the cultivation system structure, it would not affect their future growth.

However, because they could increase their credits, as well as affect their year-end and graduation evaluations, and even scholarships, students from all classes were memorizing the contents of the cultivation system.

This undoubtedly resulted in serious involution?. It required students to spend a lot of time memorizing the content of the Cultivation System Framework that was updated every quarter, but it did not bring any substantial meaning.

In Feng Qi’s opinion, understanding the framework of the cultivation system could indeed help the students develop in all aspects. It could nurture students’ deep understanding of the cultivation system and take less detours. However, there was no need to link it to credits and evaluations.

This would inevitably bring about an almost mandatory involution.

Other than the students in the cultivation technique research class, the other students could completely use their time spent on studying the Cultivation System Framework on more meaningful things.

For example, on in-depth knowledge of the subject’s purpose.

After hearing Feng Qi’s account, Lin Ran smiled and replied,

“Actually, many students spend a third of their time studying the framework. 1 also feel that it’s a waste of time.”

“For someone like me who likes cultivation techniques research, learning such content is indeed very practical, but it’s not very meaningful to students from other classes like the medical classes.”

Feng Qi immediately agreed and nodded.

“I think this should stem from a voluntary perspective and allow the students make their own choices, instead of linking it to credits, the year-end evaluation and the graduation evaluation.”

“Actually, this aspect has already formed a almost mandatory learning environment. It looks like voluntary learning, but since it’s related to various resources. If you don’t learn it, you won’t be able to compete with your classmates in all aspects, so everyone has to do so.” Lin Ran nodded in agreement and continued,

“Actually, many students in Star City Academy’s forum have discussed this kind of internal study.”

Looking at the puzzled Feng Qi, Lin Ran smiled and continued,

“They have a very vivid analogy for this involution phenomenon in the teaching system. They say that there’s a Sunflower Manual in the pugilistic world. Everyone wants to obtain it because with it, they will be invincible.”

“However, if the contents of the Sunflower Manual were to be made public one day and everyone gets the chance to cultivate it, it would become a disaster.”

“When everyone has the Sunflower Manual, to cultivate it or not is no longer their own business, and certainly not up to them to decide.”

“For example, you have an enemy. If you don’t cultivate it, your enemy will master it and kill you later. Therefore, you’re forced to cultivate it. In the end, everyone in the pugilistic world will cultivate the Sunflower Manual.”

“If you cultivate the manual, you can be invincible. However, because everyone cultivates it, everyone is invincible, so there’s no such thing as invincible. Moreover, if you want to cultivate this divine technique, you have to castrate yourself first.”

“As such, everyone in the pugilistic world becomes eunuchs. This is a lose-lose situation. No one benefited from the additional efforts.”

“Similarly, the current Cultivation System Framework is the publicized Sunflower Manual. If you don’t learn it, others will do so and obtain good results and more credits. They might even get scholarships from the academy. Their starting point in any aspect will be higher than yours.”

“But if you want to learn it, you have to sacrifice your precious time. However, if everyone learns it but the benefits remain unchanged, no one will benefit from it. It’s just that everyone who participates will lose their time.”

Hearing Lin Ran’s explanation, Feng Qi couldn’t help but nod.

“Has the academy never thought of modifying this system?”

Lin Ran thought for a moment and replied,

“Elder Bai seems to have mentioned it before, but the content of Star City Academy’s cultivation studies is under the management of the Tiger Soul Research Institute. I don’t think his application was approved.”

Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but guess.

This might be one of the ways for Tiger Soul Research Institute to curb human development.

They wanted the freshmen, who represented the future of human cultivation, to waste time understanding the Cultivation System Framework which had limited help.

At this thought, he immediately asked,

“How can 1 bypass the Tiger Soul Research Institute and modify this rule so that the learning the Cultivation System Framework is not related to credits and scholarships?”

“Elder Bai can do this. After all, he’s the principal. He still has the right to not implement the rules set by the Tiger Soul Research Institute. After all, the highest authority above the Star City Academy is the Ministry of Education, not the Tiger Soul Research Institute.”
