"Oh, by the way, make sure to cherish your points. With your class's strength… your points probably won't be 100,000 next month."
"Huh? Why?"
Kushida Kikyo looked confused. If it wasn't 100,000 next month, what else could it be?
"Uh… how should I put this? What do you think people would do under such high-pressure conditions?"
Based on his experience reading the original novel in his previous life, Bai Yuze determined that even in The Strange World, this school had its own system and regulations.
After all, if it only relied on rules, what would happen if someone had a mental breakdown and retaliated against others, like trying to drag a few people down with them… or threatening others because they didn't have a target yet…
All of this was possible. When people lost all reverence, society would fall into chaos.
"Hmm… they would probably do some disgusting things…"
"Exactly. Therefore, the school also has a set of rules and regulations to restrict those students. If a student doesn't abide by what a student should, then the school's evaluation of him will decrease, which will then affect everyone in the class."
"Ah? How can that be?!"
Kushida Kikyo was a bit displeased. If someone made a mistake and only that person was punished, that would be acceptable, but for one person's mistake to affect the entire class was too severe!
"There's no other way. What else can be done when more than half of the class is revived by the strange, and the class automatically disbands? There are only two reasons for doing this.
One is to make everyone understand the pros and cons between the individual and the collective, thereby achieving self-restraint, and everyone in the class can supervise each other, forming a stable relationship.
Of course, if a class is already beyond saving, then the second reason comes into play: allowing stronger individuals to transfer classes, ultimately leading to the strong being together and the weak being together."
The school's system was that cruel: either you grew and improved on your own, or The Strange World forced you to improve!
"But isn't this too cruel for average students? Their strength is neither weak nor strong. Once the powerful students in the class leave… what will they do?"
In education, the most difficult position is neither the top students nor the bottom students, but the average students. They are not only dragged down by the bottom students but also have to look up at the dazzling brilliance of the top students… Once the big shots leave, the class is basically declared dead, like a lamp running out of oil…
"There's nothing that can be done about that. Have you noticed that when classes go through dungeons, students are always matched with their classmates? Perhaps in the future, it will be mixed up, but every dungeon will definitely have those incredibly strong students, and what those average students need to do is learn from those top students.
They need to learn their way of thinking and their independence, achieving a transformation, while the bottom students need to strive to become average students, and then learn from those classmates who have become top students.
This is to achieve a gradual process."
"But unfortunately, those bottom students won't understand. Even a second before death descends, their minds are probably still thinking about how to have fun…"
Bai Yuze elaborated on a cruel reality: in fact, there are many people in reality who know their situation but are unwilling to change. They always complain that capital has blocked all paths, but in reality, they are not even willing to work in a factory. They always say they are content with the status quo, but they always fantasize about getting rich overnight and finding a good job that pays over ten thousand a month.
But Bai Yuze understood. After all, after so many years of arduous study, if he had to do those jobs… wouldn't all his hard work be for nothing? The knowledge he had learned, the education he had received, prevented him from stooping to do those jobs! In the end, he, too, had put on Kong Yiji's long gown…
He wanted to climb up… but was afraid of losing face and being ridiculed. Everyone said not to care about what others thought, but very few people could truly achieve that. After all, even a slight mistake, and the endless noise could drown a person…
And the school also prevented students from being affected by this. Everyone had the same starting point: to survive!
Strive to survive, change to survive! No one would ridicule you, because everyone in this school… was trying to survive…
"Then I'm finished. I know more or less about the guys in my class. A bunch of bad students who don't even have any awareness! Even I'm a bad student!
By the time those bad students become strong… haha, the class would have been disbanded for years!"
Kushida Kikyo lay on the bed, her eyes unfocused. Aside from the strong students in Class D, she was well aware of the character of that group of underachievers; they seemed adult but were mentally like giant babies!
Other bad students would immediately make changes once they realized the situation, but they… they would need to have an epiphany before they could take the next step!
"You can't say that. Maybe some people know everything, but just lack strong execution… And when faced with a life-or-death situation, even if they don't want to change, their consciousness will force them to change."
Brain: "Dear master! Stop playing already! We're going to die!"
"By the way, I'll transfer some points to you, so you don't run out. We still don't know how many points you'll have next month!"
"Oh…"
Kushida Kikyo rolled over. After picking up her phone, she casually glanced at it, then immediately sat up.
She had originally thought that since school had just started, Bai Yuze wouldn't have many points, but after seeing the six-figure number on her phone, she immediately realized something was wrong!
"Five hundred thousand! Yuze… you didn't go and become a duck, did you?"
Kushida Kikyo uttered words that would make anyone instantly break down, with a serious expression.
Bai Yuze: "…"
"Ouch!"
Kushida Kikyo received a flick on her forehead from Bai Yuze. She was a bit aggrieved; her boyfriend's physique and looks were top-notch, and under high pressure, there must be many senpais who were desperate. Plus, it had only been a week since school started, and Bai Yuze had so many points. If he wasn't a duck, what else could he be doing? She hadn't even said she disliked him! Could it be…!
Kushida Kikyo's eyes began to tremble!
"Yuze… you… you didn't go and sell… Ouch!"
"What are you thinking about all day?! Break off those social circles of yours immediately; look at what you're becoming!"
Bai Yuze was a bit speechless. If he let Kushida Kikyo continue her wild imaginings, he'd probably end up having an affair with Ultraman!
"Nyah nyah nyah!"
Kushida Kikyo stuck out her tongue defiantly. The stories her social circle of delinquents and other good girls shared with her were one more explosive than the last!
Either someone's mom had gone into the red-light district, or someone's dad had cheated. Of course, some of these were true, and some were deliberately spreading rumors about others, but the explosiveness was real, and it had tainted Kushida Kikyo's thinking.
Therefore, when Kushida Kikyo cursed, she could open her small mouth and spout a torrent of words.
"Does this five hundred thousand points count as being sugar-daddied?"
Kushida Kikyo asked with a giggle, and Bai Yuze thought for a moment, then said solemnly.
"I don't think so… If I had to say… it's more like a betrothal gift…"
Upon hearing Bai Yuze's words, Kushida Kikyo's face flushed. Her original intention was to tease Bai Yuze, but she ended up taking a critical hit herself.
She slowly retreated into the covers, her voice low.
"Baka~"
