In the Advanced Nurturing High School, I Just Want to Drop Out Section 31

Yamauchi, unwilling to be outdone, retorted, "Don't you want to? You were just a step behind. I saw it all. I saw you preparing to question Hirata, so I jumped in to question him first. Besides, it's better to drag others down than to be dragged down myself."

"Yamauchi!"

"Ike!"

The two glared at each other.

Dozens of people around them watched, seemingly anticipating something.

In such an atmosphere, they felt it would be impolite not to throw a punch.

Hirata eventually stepped in to defuse the situation.

"Alright, I believe Ike and Yamauchi have realized the issues with their behavior. Let's not dwell on it. We'll all keep an eye on them and ensure they watch what they say in the future. Bai Lan is personally acting as a negative example, likely so everyone can learn from it – correct any faults they have and strive for improvement.

Also, everyone, the club information session is coming up soon. If you want to join a club, hurry and check them out. I want to play soccer, anyone interested?"

With Hirata's mediation, the crowd readily shifted their attention away from the bickering duo and quickly left the classroom to attend to their own matters.

Relieved, Ike and Yamauchi found seats nearby, licking their wounds and quietly cursing those who had put them in such a predicament.

Gymnasium 1.

Horikita followed Bai Lan closely to the gymnasium.

As they entered, someone handed Bai Lan and the others a brochure each.

Bai Lan flipped through it casually, finding it contained introductions to various clubs and how to join them.

He didn't read it thoroughly. Instead, he grabbed a passing boy in a soccer uniform and directly asked for information.

Although it was a gymnasium, there was no place to play soccer.

Seeing someone in a soccer uniform here, with a clean jersey, Bai Lan deduced he was likely a recruiter from the soccer club.

Upon learning Bai Lan wanted to inquire about clubs, the boy in the soccer uniform, eager to recruit, became very enthusiastic.

Seeing Bai Lan engaged in conversation, Horikita walked off on her own. After all, she had proven her point, and there was no longer any meaning in following Bai Lan. Furthermore, she had her own objective to accomplish here.

Through Bai Lan's inquiries, he learned that the soccer club was one of the most powerful clubs in the school and participated in many external competitions.

However, even the soccer club didn't spend many days away from school throughout the year.

Firstly, they had to ensure their schedules didn't conflict with important school events.

Secondly, they had to consider if the competition level matched their abilities.

Therefore, their choices for competitions were limited.

Moreover, even when they traveled for competitions, they had little freedom.

When not competing, they were either on the bus or staying at their accommodation. During competitions, they couldn't wander around or engage in unnecessary interactions with outsiders.

Hearing this, Bai Lan immediately lost interest in the idea of traveling for club activities.

At this point, the club information session hadn't officially begun; the stage was still being set up.

But Bai Lan had already lost interest. Without waiting for the session to start, he turned and left the gymnasium.

However, his trip was not entirely without gain.

He noticed something interesting.

The club members mentioned that they considered whether their chosen competitions would conflict with important school events.

This could be interpreted in reverse: many competitions do conflict with important school events?

Bai Lan instantly sensed something amiss.

Since these competitions were for high school students, their schedules should logically avoid the major exam periods for high schoolers.

If that were the case, why would Advanced Nurturing High School have to filter out so many competitions?

Bai Lan considered a possibility: besides the semester exams, Advanced Nurturing High School had many other events that were too important to skip, or skipping them would have severe consequences!

Bai Lan felt he could predict the approximate timing of these important events based on this.

All Bai Lan needed to do was know the schedules for all the competitions each club could participate in this year.

Then, he could mark all the competition days on a calendar...

What could be confirmed was: Competition Day = Definitely No Important Event.

From this, Bai Lan could deduce: No Competition Day = Potentially Important Event!

Once Bai Lan compiled this information, he would be able to foresee the approximate dates of all the important events for the year!

Knowing the dates of important events in advance would allow him to make various arrangements accordingly.

This is extremely important information!

Any class with even a little ambition wouldn't buy this?

See, haven't I earned new income again?

Oh my, I have over two million and haven't figured out how to spend it yet, and now I'm about to earn another sum.

But, I'm about to be expelled, how should I spend this money?

What if I die before spending it all, wouldn't the school just profit for nothing?

"Troubles~ Is this the worry of the rich?

By the way, can points be exchanged directly for money?

They should be, right?

After all, didn't Teacher Chazhu say that 'points can buy anything' at this school?

They can't even exchange for the most common thing, money, can they?"

With that thought, Bai Lan's motivation to gather information and earn points grew even stronger.

This was his future travel fund for roaming the world!

In fact, information about the competitions each club could participate in this year wasn't exactly classified.

You could even find it by checking the club's official accounts.

The information was basically displayed in the most prominent places.

Those clubs, in order to gain fame and attract new members, would apply for funding from the student council and practically want the whole world to know they were qualified to participate in those high-level competitions.

However, Bai Lan didn't plan to inquire personally.

Bai Lan mainly found it troublesome.

Dozens of clubs in one school, and some clubs participate in several competitions a year.

Checking them one by one.

By the time he finished, he could have already gone for a late-night snack.

Besides, earning points was just a side task; dropping out was the priority.

He planned to outsource the task of collecting basic information.

He just needed to integrate it, package it into its most valuable form, and then sell it.

Speaking of collecting information, the most convenient way was actually to buy it directly from the official source.

If the price was right, Bai Lan would skip hiring people and buy it directly from the school.

If he hired people, it would be too many people and too many tongues.

If others found out he was collecting this kind of information, and if any smart person connected the dots, his ideas might be guessed, or they might even use his ideas to obtain the information before him.

In that case, his intelligence would be devalued.

Thinking of this, Bai Lan called Chazhu.

Since the information wasn't classified.

The school could even retrieve it directly from server data, without needing to search each club's official account one by one.

It was incredibly fast.

In the end, Bai Lan only spent 20,000 points to buy the information he needed.

Bai Lan felt that the 20,000 points were well spent.

He would quickly earn back tens or even hundreds of times that amount!

After dinner, Bai Lan spent half an hour organizing the information and estimating the approximate dates of all the "important activities" for the year.

Seeing the results of his hard work.

Bai Lan was stunned: "What the heck? There are still 'mandatory' important activities during winter and summer breaks? As expected of a school named 'Simulated Society,' they even simulate 'holiday overtime'!"

Just imagine, while happily playing with friends during the holidays, the school suddenly announces "overtime," how devastated the little buddies' hearts would be!

Fortunately, he was about to drop out and wouldn't have to wait until then!

Bai Lan didn't sell this information immediately.

The greater the storm, the more valuable the fish.

The first-year classes hadn't yet realized the cruelty of class competition.

After a few more days, when everyone had worked up some competitive spirit, he would sell it then, and it would fetch a good price.

Of course, that was assuming he hadn't dropped out by then.

Thinking of this, Bai Lan called Kushida before going to bed.

When Kushida asked Bai Lan for study materials back then, they had exchanged contact information.

Soon, the phone was answered.
