Exams, Fu Luo's Crisis

Friday.

Today is a very important day for Lin Yu.

He wanted to meet with Fu Luo, try to find a way to get in touch with "Fluoxetine," and before that...

Today is also the day of Lin Yu's "Western Art History" exam.

Lin Yu arrived at school early in the morning and saw Shen Bingmiao at the school gate.

Seeing Lin Yu jump off his bicycle, Shen Bingmiao went up to him and greeted him with a smile.

"Bonjour, my dear ace—how's your exam preparation going?"

Hearing Shen Bingmiao's greeting, Lin Yu was a little surprised. "Hey, Senior Sister, are you worried I'll fail my course?"

"After all, you just joined the Game, and I'm worried you won't be able to balance it with your real life," Shen Bingmiao said with a grin. "So... here, take this."

Shen Bingmiao took out something that looked like a band-aid.

"What's this?"

Lin Yu took the band-aid, and a [Item] notification popped up.

[Secret Communication Sticker: A communication device disguised as a band-aid, enabling telepathic communication with another user of the Secret Communication Sticker, and featuring a shared field of vision function.]

"If I stick this thing on your forehead, I'll be able to see the test paper," Shen Bingmiao said earnestly. "If you encounter any questions you don't know, I can help you find the answers!"

Lin Yu was both amused and exasperated.

"I thought that even if you were worried, you would just cheer me on."

He put the [Secret Communicator] into his pocket.

"I appreciate your kind offer, Senior Sister, but I've studied very thoroughly... How could I possibly fail Western Art History?"

Shen Bingmiao's expression was serious. "Then I need to make sure you pass 100%—our club has activities during the summer vacation, and I don't want you to have to spend the whole summer studying and preparing for a make-up exam after failing."

"There are still club activities during summer vacation?"

Lin Yu said this in surprise, and Shen Bingmiao nodded.

"Of course! We're going to organize a tour. Although the specific details haven't been finalized, it's almost done... Surprised, isn't it!"

"I've already consulted with the members of the club, and about 90% of them are willing to participate."

Lin Yu thought back for a moment. Admittedly, the Drama club members were all quite nice, enthusiastic, and friendly, but to so uniformly sacrifice their summer vacation to participate in club activities...

"What benefits did you promise them?"

With her hands in her pockets and head held high, she declared, "Credits! It will add credits and practical skills points!"

Lin Yu sensed something was wrong. "The school is willing to give extra credits for this kind of activity? Did you get these credits through some kind of underhanded means? You're not planning to hack into the academic affairs system, are you?!"

Shen Bingmiao stood with her hands on her hips, looking indignant, like an angry fish ball. "Don't think I'm always breaking the rules. I worked hard to negotiate with the school leaders for this!"

"Sorry, Senior Sister... you must have put in a lot of effort to persuade those old-fashioned school leaders at Jiangcheng Media."

As Lin Yu spoke, Shen Bingmiao nodded in deep agreement.

"Of course... I went to great lengths to hack into our vice principal's phone and found evidence that he was abusing his position to embezzle greening funds by constantly moving trees around. I used that evidence to blackmail him into agreeing to this."

Lin Yu covered his face. "I really didn't wrong you at all, why don't you report him!"

Shen Bingmiao gave an OK sign. "It's a piece of cake. He should be caught in a few days."

"They did you a favor, and you're actually reporting them?"

Lin Yu exclaimed in shock.

Shen Bingmiao waved her hand. "Don't worry, I did a very clean and neat job—I reported evidence of him bribing officials to get promotions when he was at other schools."

Lin Yu remained silent for a long time before giving Shen Bingmiao a thumbs up.

Sometimes he really didn't know if his Senior Sister was righteous or what...

As long as the ending is good, that's all that matters.

"In short... besides the academic credits, I also promised them that all their food, lodging, and travel expenses would be covered, and each of them would receive a brand-new Fruit Phone."

Shen Bingmiao said proudly. Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then held out his hand. "Do I have one too?"

You didn't.

Shen Bingmiao said firmly.

Lin Yu was somewhat dissatisfied. "Am I not a lead actor? Why don't I get one?"

"You're already a 'Player,' and you're still short of money? If you don't want to act, you don't have to come. I've hired someone to give you guidance this time! A very famous Actor!"

Upon hearing Shen Bingmiao's words, Lin Yu's eyes lit up, but then he sighed helplessly.

"Fine, go ahead and exploit me... I'm going to take the exam."

"I need to talk to my sister about this."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Shen Bingmiao stroked her chin and said, "Hmm... you should really talk to your sister about this."

"But I think your sister will agree."

Lin Yu nodded, then said goodbye to Shen Bingmiao and headed towards the examination hall.

Outside the exam hall, students gathered in small groups to relieve their pre-exam anxiety. Only Lin Yu nodded and greeted a few boys briefly before standing alone on the other side, appearing somewhat out of place.

It wasn't that Lin Yu was being isolated or anything like that; it was just that he hadn't built up any particularly close relationships with his classmates.

Except for the girl who confessed to him last semester, Lin Yu maintained a somewhat friendly but distant relationship with his classmates most of the time.

Friends like Shen Bingmiao, with whom he could banter and joke, were actually "different" to Lin Yu...

Soon, it was time for the exam.

Lin Yu placed his Backpack in front of the podium—it contained all his cell phones.

After the exam papers were handed out, Lin Yu glanced at them and confidently began answering the questions.

The two-and-a-half-hour exam flew by.

After the event ended, Lin Yu retrieved his schoolbag, intending to go to the cafeteria for a meal and chat with Fu Luo to see what time he would arrive.

But as soon as he turned on his phone in May, he saw that the forum was flooded with messages.

After opening it, I looked at the private messages in the backend...

Lin Yu noticed that Fu Luo had sent about a dozen messages.

After clicking to reply, the forum's private chat will start from the first unread message.

The first message was sent at 9:00 AM.

[Sherlock: Brother, I've arrived! I took a long bus ride, it took me half the night!]

[Sherlock: Is my brother awake? Check the messages!]

Then came a lot of meaningless messages like "Are you there?" and "Hello".

Lin Yu flipped through the pages, and it was around ten o'clock.

[Sherlock: Brother May, it seems you're still asleep. I'll find a place to sit for a while.]

[Sherlock: I'm near the bus station]

[Sherlock: I'm going to find a place to grab some breakfast and try some of Jiang City's specialties.]

[Sherlock: [Image]]

[Sherlock: This noodle dish is amazing! Only eight dollars a bowl, with meat and sauce!]

Lin Yu chuckled to himself.

I didn't have time to check the messages because of my exam, and I didn't expect Fu Luo to be playing around first.

That's fine.

Just as he continued scrolling down, preparing to see where Fu Luo was now...

But then they suddenly realized something was wrong with the message!

[Sherlock: Help!]

[Sherlock: Help! Help! Help! I'm being chased!]
