When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Tutorial Class

The end of the national university entrance exam meant that Xiang Beifei no longer had to go to school, which was a liberation for him.

In high school, he only had to learn cultural lessons, which were not difficult and he had mastered them, yet he still had to go to school every day, truly a waste of time.

His mastery of Rapid Flame had made significant progress, and when he threw a punch, it was no longer limited to sparks, but he could actually produce flames.

Although the power of the flames was far from as strong as those displayed by Lu Hong, Xiang Beifei was able to create a violent gust out of the flames with special finesse, making it both offensive and defensive. On the same level, he would definitely not be at a disadvantage.

Combined with the abilities "Abruptly Stop" and "breath soil," he would not be outmatched even against those in the later stages of Qi-Controlling.

Lu Zhiwei called and wanted to come to see him, but he dismissed her, telling her there was plenty of time during the summer vacation and they could talk after the results were out.

For some reason, Lu Zhiwei unprecedentedly agreed and didn't bother him.

Xiang Beifei felt that her tone over the phone was a bit strange, as if she was somewhat pleased with herself, though he had no idea what she was pleased about, but Xiang Beifei didn't take it to heart.

In this world with system abilities to assist, marking the national university entrance exam was very quick, and results could be released in about three days.

So he cultivated diligently at home for three days.

However, during these three days, Xiang Qingde was extremely worried.

Because Xiang Beifei had locked himself in his room, he only came out to eat all day long!

"This child, he must be upset about not doing well on the exam and has locked himself in his room. Ai! I really am not a competent grandfather!"

Xiang Qingde was very self-critical. He had never paid attention to Xiang Beifei's grades in the past and only realized before the exam that Xiang Beifei's grades were as bad as a garbage truck's, with no hope for university.

But every time Xiang Beifei came out to eat, he acted as if nothing had happened and could still chat and laugh with him, which made Xiang Qingde feel even worse!

This child, he must be pretending to be like this so that I won't worry.

He's too considerate!

I'm so incompetent!

Xiang Qingde blamed himself for three days.

He wanted to comfort his grandson, but he feared that saying too much would make him feel worse. After much thought, he decided to wait until the results were released to talk. These few days, Xiang Beifei hadn't mentioned anything about the national university entrance exam, so he didn't bring it up either.

But the results were coming out this afternoon.

He couldn't pretend anymore.

Xiang Qingde didn't go to sell vegetables today. He was worried that once the results were out, Xiang Beifei's mood might worsen, and it would be bad if he did something impulsive.

No matter what, even if it was an anticipated bad outcome, he wanted to face it with his grandson and help him get through this difficult time!

Then he'd need to find an opportunity to inquire about repeating a year.

At mealtime, Xiang Beifei noticed that his grandfather seemed out of sorts and asked in surprise, "Grandpa, is something wrong?"

Xiang Qingde, afraid of being too direct and hurting his grandson's feelings, carefully chose his words and asked tentatively, "Xiaofei, do you have any plans for the summer vacation?"

After thinking, Xiang Beifei, who hadn't figured out the tuition of one hundred thousand for Liangzhou University, said, "I'll work to earn money."

Xiang Qingde was shocked!

What?

Was this the decision his grandson made after locking himself in his room for three days?

Did he acknowledge that there was no hope for university and wasn't even considering repeating the year but instead planning to find a job and just get by?

How could he quit school right after high school graduation?

Xiang Qingde quickly said, "The results aren't out yet, no need to rush. By the way, Xiao Wei mentioned it to me the other day, have you thought about private tutoring classes? You two are pretty familiar with each other, you could discuss private classes and make up lessons during the holidays."

"Private tutoring classes?"

Why suddenly bring this up?

Xiang Beifei didn't quite understand why Lu Zhiwei would discuss this matter with his grandfather.

He was about to go to university, so the lessons certainly weren't for him, which meant they must be for her to catch up?

That girl's deductive abilities indeed needed some work.

Xiang Qingde said, "Xiaofei, Lu Yatou is a talented student at the Martial Arts College of Liangzhou University. I asked around, last year she scored 621 points without any bonus to enter the Martial Arts College, her academic performance is quite good."

Xiang Qingde planned to hint indirectly, to let Xiang Beifei understand that Lu Yatou was capable of tutoring his coursework.

"621 points?"

Xiang Beifei was somewhat surprised by the results.

I didn't see that the girl scored so high on the college entrance exam!

Xiang Beifei always felt that this girl was carefree, ready to throw a punch at any moment, but he hadn't expected her academic scores to be so impressive.

The admission score for S-level candidates at Martial Arts College of Liangzhou University is 550 points, with an additional 50 points for S-level, so the minimum requirement for S-level Awakeners is just 500 points.

But she scored 621 points, which is 671 points with the extra credit.

Then why is her reasoning ability so terrible?

"She has good scores, then what?" Xiang Beifei asked.

Xiang Qingde continued to persuade, "Xiao Wei usually does part-time jobs to save money. Last summer, after the college entrance exam, she started a private tutoring class, helping four kids from relatives and friend's families with their studies, and their grades improved significantly. She told me that she's planning to start another tutoring class this year."

Xiang Beifei pondered.

She's going to start a tutoring class?

Is she planning to expand or what?

That means she needs teachers, right?

Does this girl think I'm good at reasoning, quick-witted, and realizing that my academic performance must be good, so she wants to rope me in to help those high school juniors improve their scores, while also making some extra money on the side?

But that can't be right, doesn't Lu Zhiwei like to catch criminals?

Or maybe—

She's planning to set up a "Reasoning Skills Improvement Class" at the law enforcement squad, and she wants me to be the teacher?

And when I agree, I'll find a bunch of law enforcement officers sitting in the class?

It's like putting up a sheep's head and selling dog meat.

Haha, she's quite scheming.

Xiang Beifei said, "Grandpa, I'm not interested in tutoring classes."

"You're not interested in tutoring classes?"

Xiang Qingde became anxious!

Is Xiaofei determined not to retake the exam?

No way! No way! He had finally negotiated with Lu Zhiwei, and she had agreed to help Xiaofei with his studies!

He needed to persuade the child!

Xiang Qingde said eagerly, "Actually, Xiao Wei has good intentions. She's going to work at the law enforcement squad in the future, and I would feel more at ease if you work with her. Grandpa and she have discussed it, and she is quite understanding. Would you reconsider it?"

Xiang Beifei saw the anxious look on his grandpa's face and vaguely understood. Lu Zhiwei probably said something to grandpa, perhaps making some promises, like ensuring his job security in the future?

This girl knew he would probably refuse, but since he usually took care of grandpa's feelings, she knew how to start from that angle!

She's even deployed grandpa to persuade him.

What a sly move!

Xiang Beifei indeed didn't want to refuse grandpa directly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright, I'll discuss it with her! If possible, the tutoring class won't be a big issue."

Tutoring classes are quite profitable nowadays!

There are a bunch of tutoring organizations out there, and the teachers' awakening systems are amazing, like the "R-level Home Tutoring System" that helps others improve their grades while earning system points, and the "R-level Love Studying System" which makes a child love learning and allows you to earn a substantial amount of system income.

The industry is booming.

Tutoring Lu Zhiwei and making some money wouldn't be too bad.

"Alright, you discuss it with Xiao Wei, and I'll help you solve the other issues," Xiang Qingde said, his heart finally easing as he heard Xiang Beifei agree to let Lu Zhiwei tutor him.

It seems Xiaofei is thinking about retaking the exam.

At least he managed to keep Xiaofei from thinking about getting a job and earning money for now.

As long as Lu Yatou can persuade Xiaofei to retake the year, with her tutoring, Xiaofei should be able to improve his grades next year and not just score 43 points.

Now he just had to wait for the results in the afternoon before bringing up the issue of retaking the exam.
