"Is this school really as interesting as you say?"

"Let me remind you: even if you win big in this school, you still need to pursue higher education after you graduate from here. So, do not treat this school as the final destination of your life."

On the last bus of the evening heading to Advanced Nurturing High School, only Ryuen Kakeru and Sima Zhenglong were seated.

The goal of eight hundred million points is basically impossible for me alone. Although I feel that even if I drag Ryuen in to help make money, it will still be difficult, it is ultimately better than having nothing at all.

"Even if we have the advantage of information, it will be hard to scrape together eight hundred million points, won't it? Didn't you say yourself that no class has ever succeeded in this point-based strategy?"

I informed Ryuen about some of the rules of this school and proposed the eight hundred million point strategy that he would have adopted in the original story anyway.

"There is always an opportunity. And actually, we don't need eight hundred million points; seven hundred and eighty million is enough. After graduating from here, I will return to my home country, so I don't need the benefits of Class A."

Twenty million less, a 2.5% reduction in burden—suddenly, the future opportunities feel even greater.

"Seven hundred and eighty million? Let's make it seven hundred and sixty million. I have confidence. I don't need to rely on graduating from Class A to prove my ability. If we, as leaders under this school's rule system, can earn such a huge sum of money, then I don't believe those slackers who graduate from Class A normally can receive a higher evaluation than me!"

Ryuen clenched his fist and collided it hard with mine; it actually hurt quite a bit.

"Seven hundred and sixty million. Perhaps if there's an opportunity, we can lower it further. Let's just wait and see for now."

Next, we need to consider how we can scrape together these seven hundred and sixty million private points.

First, the acquisition of private points comes from several aspects: the monthly private point rewards issued by the school based on class points, the private points awarded to students during special exams, the funding compensation obtained by student clubs, and small point rewards from some special channels we don't know about.

The bulk of it mainly comes from the first two items. Let's calculate based on ideal conditions: if the sum of class points for each grade can reach 4,000, and the four classes in each grade total 160 people, then the total points each grade can obtain from the school each month is 16 million, totaling 192 million per year.

Across three grades, that's 12 classes and 480 people. Over three years, they can obtain 1.728 billion. Considering the consumption of class points in the first month of enrollment, the fluctuations in class points during subsequent special exams, the large deductions caused by students dropping out, and the points consumed by students in their daily lives.

I fear that not even a quarter of these 1.7 billion points can circulate among the students. The school only needs to impose a few more expulsion penalties during special exams to consume several 20-million-point chunks, so we cannot pin all our hopes on this fixed quota.

If we follow the situation in the original story, the eight hundred million point strategy is definitely impossible, because the internal fighting in the third year, with the intervention of the second year, consumed a massive amount of private points, leaving no fat to squeeze.

Although the second year has been shearing the school's wool, judging from Nagumo's performance, they are actually a poor grade. Plus, the second year has had too many personnel losses; there is some profit, but the difficulty of obtaining it is too high.

The first year is even more terrifying. Class D directly cleared their points at the start, and combined with the points deducted from Classes C and B, it effectively halved the points the first year could naturally obtain from the school.

Under such a predicament, I still think the eight hundred million point strategy has a chance, mainly because of the Tsukishiro incident. During that period, the school was in chaos. As long as we seize this timing and push hard, we have a chance to collect a massive amount of private points in one go, or break many rules that cannot be changed under normal circumstances.

"Then our focus for seizing points should be placed on those special exams. When necessary, we can exchange our class's class points for private points—that is, exchange them for cash flow."

"Anyway, if class points are circulating between classes, the total amount of class points within the grade remains unchanged. We can adopt other methods outside of exams to harvest these points."

Ryuen also understood what I meant and set his sights further ahead.

If we are to adopt the eight hundred million point strategy, what we must first consider is not how much we can get from other classes, but that we must first ensure the school can issue more than eight hundred million points to the student body.

We can ignore things like class rankings. As long as we act on the premise that the upper limit of obtainable points does not decrease, it doesn't matter how class points fluctuate. We can even use our numerical advantage to help other classes that want to move up, in order to obtain point rewards.

"Talking to a smart person is easy. The heavy responsibility of conquering the class is left to you. Remember, don't do anything too outrageous in the first month. These starting class points cannot be earned back. Preserving the first-year class points—this is our primary strategy."

"Then what are you doing?"

Ryuen looked at me with annoyance after suddenly having a burden placed on him.

"I'm going to build you an absolutely private classroom without surveillance. You're no saint; you should know how important that is, right?"

I still need to manage the club room myself. At the very least, I have to pretend it's a legitimate club, otherwise, it'll be hard to scam funding.

"Then I suppose you're somewhat useful. Tomorrow, I'll go sell the information for the first month's exam first and see how much I can rake in."

"When the time comes, you can ask our homeroom teacher first to see how much this information sells for on the teacher's side, and then you can go sell it to other classes. After all, in this school, everything can be bought with points."

Class A and Class B should be able to complete a simple integration at the start, so they should buy it. As for Class D, it's hard to say. I have to find a way to see if I can 'burst' Chabashira's gold coins.

If I can burst Chabashira's gold coins, then I should also be able to use that to burst Hoshinomiya's gold coins. That would be an extra source of income—how wonderful!

"What are you thinking about again? You're smiling too lewdly."

Watching Sima Zhenglong, who was emitting a hehehe laugh, Ryuen suddenly felt a chill.

"Nothing, just remembered something that made me happy. Ryuen, how much do you think the annual salary of the teachers in this school is?"

"So that's the idea you're playing at. If it's this school, the teachers' salaries should be linked to the classes they lead, right? Come to think of it, there must be a gap between the homeroom teachers of each class."

"As far as I know, the two homeroom teachers of Class D and Class B in our grade have a deep-seated hatred for each other."

"Oh? Then I'll leave it to you."

"Leave it to me."
