Host: Mo Jingchun

Age: 18 years old

Points: 0 (Used to exchange for lottery chances)

Lucky Draw Chances: 0 times

System Warehouse: None

Task: 1. Obtain the National Scholarship this semester. Task completion reward: 100 points.

Looking at the task bar on the system panel in his mind, there was only a single task, and to complete this task, he would have to wait until at least next year! After all, the selection and distribution period for the National Scholarship is fixed.

"System, don't you have any other tasks? Also, how do I trigger system tasks?"

"Let me tell you, you not releasing tasks regularly has seriously affected my motivation. I'm such a hardworking and studious person who is also willing to endure hardships, shouldn't there be more tasks?"

In the real world, Mo Jingchun, with his eyes closed, frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure on his face.

He wanted to experience the joy of drawing, but this system, if you didn't say anything, would act as if it had lost contact.

"I don't know."

"You don't know? System, are you kidding me? You actually said you don't know how to trigger system tasks? Aren't system tasks issued by you? I don't have many demands, just give me ten or eight tasks like getting a hundred points on an exam, and I'll be satisfied."

"This system truly does not know."

"Heh heh."

Mo Jingchun was amused by the system. If it didn't want him to exploit it, it should just say so, instead of spouting such nonsense as "I don't know." Who was it trying to fool?

"This system is really not lying to you, it truly does not know."

"How is that possible? Could it be that you also have a server-side?" Thinking of this, Mo Jingchun felt his scalp tingle, but he quickly reacted. Even if there was a server-side, so what? What difference did it make to him? It seemed like there was none, so why worry about it?

Anyway, those who have nothing to lose fear nothing. As for what kind of existence the system was, it was all the same to him, as long as it could bring benefits to him and his sister.

The system, annoyed by Mo Jingchun's questions, was silent for a while before explaining, "It's not as complicated as you think, dividing into server-side and client-side. At least in this system's understanding, this system is the only one in this world."

"And I truly do not know the conditions for triggering system tasks. Although the tasks are issued by this system, they are also not issued by this system."

Mo Jingchun was completely confused. "What are you talking about? I don't understand. How can you say it's issued by you one moment and not issued by you the next?"

"You can understand it as the tasks are issued by the system, and 'I' am forwarding the system tasks."

"'My' existence is equivalent to what you humans understand as artificial intelligence, and the one issuing the tasks is the underlying logic code. In reality, the system's composition is far more complex than you think."

Intelligence, logic code.

"One is the appearance, and one is the rule?" Mo Jingchun opened his eyes, looking at the light shining into the bedroom through the curtains, and muttered to himself.

"Forget it, why think so much? As long as the system can bring me benefits, that's enough."

Having figured it out, Mo Jingchun shook his head and smiled slightly. After glancing at his sister Candy beside him, Mo Jingchun, with his eyes closed, quickly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Mo Jingchun was woken up by his phone alarm. Candy beside him kicked the blanket and then stopped moving.

Starting from today, classes would officially begin!

There were two classes in the morning and two in the afternoon. Well, it didn't sound like much, but in reality, two classes meant the entire morning and the entire afternoon.

What high school teachers said about university having few classes was absolutely true, but the teachers didn't tell the students back then that one university class was worth more than six high school classes.

As expected, no matter where you go, it's all a setup.

Every time Mo Jingchun looked at his phone, he had a habit of opening QQ and WeChat to see if there were any unread messages.

WeChat... Okay, the red number 5 on the small icon. Mo Jingchun thought there were 5 unread messages, but when he opened it, it was WeChat Steps and news.

Give you a week, you'll learn without me teaching.

After opening QQ, Mo Jingchun found that someone had indeed sent him a message, and it was the temporary class monitor, Yang Xiaoyu.

"Everyone's new books were distributed yesterday. The boys said you weren't staying in the dormitory, so your books were sent back to me."

"When you go to class this morning, remember to bring a backpack. I'll help you bring all the books to the classroom."

After reading the message, Mo Jingchun replied immediately.

"Okay, thank you, Class Monitor. I've troubled you."

Although Yang Xiaoyu was temporarily selected by Counselor Na Jie based on everyone's performance during military training, Mo Jingchun knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Yang Xiaoyu would be his class monitor for the next four years of university.

After getting dressed, Mo Jingchun heard his phone ring. Turning his head, he saw the screen was lit up, showing a QQ message.

"You're welcome."

After breakfast, Mo Jingchun carried his backpack, a canvas bag, and his sleepy-eyed sister out the door. It was his first class, so he had to be proactive.

In the girls' dormitory, many girls had packed textbooks in their backpacks, as well as some other things.

"Oh, Lanlan, you're even planning to bring strawberries to the classroom? Let me have a taste first."

"Go away, go away." Deng Lanlan slapped her roommate's hand away and said with a smile, "This is a prop I specially bought to coax the little baby. I'm reluctant to eat it myself."

"Besides, if I'm not mistaken, you have some in your backpack too, hmph hmph."

"No... I don't."

"Heh~"

"Oh, never mind. If we don't go now, we won't get good seats."

This year's Software Engineering major was a large class, with a total of 45 students. The sad thing was that there were only 15 girls, and the remaining 30 were all guys.

As soon as he arrived at the classroom, Mo Jingchun found that there were many people in the classroom, far exceeding 45. More importantly, Mo Jingchun found that many of them were not from their class. If he hadn't seen a few familiar faces from his class, Mo Jingchun would have thought he had gone to the wrong classroom.

"Mo Jingchun, over here!" Yang Xiaoyu, who was sitting in the first row inside the classroom, waved at Mo Jingchun, signaling him to come over.

Seeing the class monitor wave, Mo Jingchun walked over with his sister in his arms.

"Here, these are all your books."

"Thank you, Class Monitor."

Yang Xiaoyu quickly waved her hand, "You're welcome, you're welcome."

"How about you organize them and put them in your backpack? I'll hold your sister for you."

"This..."

"Oh, what's there to hesitate about?" Yang Xiaoyu didn't care if Mo Jingchun agreed or not and just went for it.

After putting all the books into his backpack, Mo Jingchun stood by the desk, scratched his head, and said, "Um, I'm done packing."

"Done packing? If you're done, go find a seat in the back and sit down. Oh, right, don't go to the right side, that's not our class. Because the Programming Course for several classes is the same this semester, we're having it together."

Mo Jingchun hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself. Mo Jingchun really wanted to say, I know that side isn't our class, I just wanted to ask if you could give my sister back...
