Although Zuo Lin'an and the others had lowered their voices, most of the people around them were martial artists, so they heard their conversation clear as day.
However, all the players tactfully remained silent. They all knew that Xu Youyou's head had just been sliced off, and now he was almost completely recovered.
None of them knew exactly how Zuo Lin'an planned to get revenge for him, as he had just claimed.
The one with the most solemn expression was Zhang Shenli, who was sitting on the other side of the classroom. Although he was a general and a Houtian Rank powerhouse, he was still on the weaker side in a specter dungeon.
By now, Gu Hedao had already composed his emotions.
He planned to ask Zuo Lin'an a few questions.
If he could glean any useful information, that would naturally be for the best. If not, it didn't matter. After all, the natives would absolutely not make a move against the players during the day.
Even if they did, judging by how they had been sent flying earlier, they were definitely no match for these martial artists.
So... was it highly likely to be the Scarlet Dream at ten o'clock at night?
That brought up a question: when these dungeon natives transformed into specters in the Scarlet Dream, would they retain their original consciousness?
He looked at Zuo Lin'an, who was sitting beside him, and lowered his voice to whisper.
“Classmate, how do you plan to help him get revenge?”
Zuo Lin'an looked left and right before replying in an equally hushed tone.
“An eye for an eye, of course. But it's not convenient to make a move here at school. Once the exams are over, Youyou and I will jump him with a sack outside the school.”
Hearing this, Gu Hedao was slightly taken aback.
After the exams, these players would either clear the dungeon and leave the school, die in the dungeon, or fail to clear it and be trapped here until they died.
In other words, the revenge of the native in front of him could not possibly be realized.
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The other players in the classroom also breathed a sigh of relief.
They were truly afraid that the school's natives would make a move against them.
Even if the natives couldn't beat them, what if some accident occurred?
For example, being marked by a native and then being frantically hunted down in the Scarlet Dream.
Once Gu Hedao relaxed, he casually took out his English textbook, flipped it open, and asked Zuo Lin'an for help. After all, he truly could not understand English at all.
Zuo Lin'an's attitude was casual, and his eyes were leisurely.
“English?”
“It's very simple. There are only twenty-six letters in total. You can memorize them easily if you just try.”
“You don't know how to write them?”
“They don't look good when you write them?”
“It's fine. You'll get the hang of it if you practice writing more.”
Today's two English classes had only taught the alphabet.
Zuo Lin'an repeated the pronunciations for him several times, but Gu Hedao kept mispronouncing them. Eventually, getting a bit annoyed by the constant questioning, Zuo Lin'an blurted out.
“The exam doesn't test speaking, only the written paper. It's fine even if your pronunciation isn't perfect.”
Gu Hedao was stunned for a moment before nodding in realization. Then, he asked, “Do you know what's on the exam?”
Zuo Lin'an shook his head. “How would I know? But exams have always been written tests.”
“I see. That's good.”
Gu Hedao felt a bit more at ease.
However, this bullshit English looked like a bunch of ghostly talismans. The distorted lines were practically comparable to specters.
The pronunciation was even more bizarre.
It was harder to understand than the gibberish uttered by certain specters. Every time he heard it, he felt his brain throb.
Gu Hedao put away his English textbook and then asked in a seemingly casual manner.
“Then... what is considered a passing grade for the exam?”
Zuo Lin'an paused. “Why are you asking this?”
Gu Hedao, “I just want to prepare myself mentally in advance.”
Zuo Lin'an, “There's no real pass or fail. We're just placed into classes based on our grades. Those with high scores go to the front classes, and those with low scores go to the back.”
Gu Hedao pressed, “Then how many points do we need to get into the very front class?”
Zuo Lin'an pondered for a moment, wondering whether he should tell these players about the scores.
After careful consideration, he ultimately decided not to say anything.
“That depends on the difficulty of the test paper.”
“If the difficulty is high, everyone's scores will be low. If the difficulty is low, everyone's scores will be high. So, I don't know exactly how many points are needed to get into the front class.”
Gu Hedao nodded inwardly.
What Zuo Lin'an said made a lot of sense. It indeed depended on the difficulty of the exam.
“Then what score is considered passing?”
Zuo Lin'an didn't hold back on this. “A passing grade is sixty percent of the total score. Generally, the total score for each subject's test paper is one hundred points.”
Gu Hedao, “So sixty points is a passing grade?”
Zuo Lin'an, “Yeah. Students who fail might be called to the teacher's office individually for a good lecture, so it's best not to fall below that score.”
It would be perfect if these players mistook sixty points as the score required to pass the exam.
If they all aimed for sixty points, then the requirement of reaching eighty points in each subject to obtain the other half of the card would go right out the window, wouldn't it?
Gu Hedao had no idea what Zuo Lin'an was thinking, nor did he know why Xu Youyou, who was currently rubbing his neck, was wearing a mysterious smile.
Still...
He stroked his chin. Sixty points?
It was only sixty percent of the total score, which shouldn't be too difficult for them.
After all, martial artists needed to read and analyze the martial arts they practiced. Sometimes, just a few short words could represent a lengthy discourse.
Thus, they needed to constantly analyze and comprehend, turning these understandings into a tangible path of cultivation.
Consequently, the higher one's cultivation, the smarter they were. And the smarter they were, the easier it was to learn new things.
However, this was only true for most people.
After all, there was still a portion of martial artists who only had talent for martial arts training but remained completely hopeless when it came to studying.
“Classmate, you seem very familiar with English?”
Zuo Lin'an didn't deny it. “Yeah, I've learned it before.”
Gu Hedao figured as much. In their world, wealthy and powerful families would hire tutors to teach their children at home beforehand, and he assumed the same logic applied here.
It was just a pity that these native students were all nothing but dungeon puppets.
The lunch break passed quickly.
The afternoon consisted of two math classes and two science classes.
Math was fine.
After all, arithmetic classes also existed in ancient times. However, the science class gave them quite a shock. After all, they came from an ancient era that was relatively superstitious and feudal.
Now being told that some of the incomprehensible things they had seen before were actually just natural phenomena made it hard for them to believe for a moment.
For instance, today they were taught about water, as well as air, wind, and so on, which they would learn about later.
Hearing the dismissal bell ring, Zuo Lin'an casually closed his open science textbook, tossed his pen aside, pulled his already emptied backpack from his desk drawer, slung it over his shoulder, and stood up to leave.
Leaving with him, Xu Youyou turned around to glance at the classroom.
At this moment, Gu Hedao and the others were still sitting in their chairs, unexpectedly not following them out.
However, looking at how they were slowly flipping through the science textbooks with devastated expressions on their faces, it was clear that having so many of their long-held beliefs shattered all at once was probably a very unpleasant experience.
Xu Youyou withdrew his gaze and caught up with Zuo Lin'an ahead.
