After the <Urban Planning> course exam, the city’s sand table in front of them suddenly magnified 1,000 times and appeared on the LCD screen in front of them. A modern city with high-rise buildings, displayed in front of everyone in the form of aerial video.
Seeing the familiar residential areas, office buildings, schools, hospitals and various entertainment centers that appear in the video, everyone’s hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Ke Shaobin said excitedly, “The street is full of food shops, it looks pretty good ah!”
Qin Lu pointed to the ‘Mingzhou Middle School no. 7’ that appeared in the video and said, “Sister, it’s the key middle school you built, even the written words are completely restored, and there are actually students in the school!”
Creating a city themselves was a novel experience for them.
Especially when humans gradually appeared in all corners of the city in the video, it was as if the ‘Mingzhou City’ they created really exists in this world, and there were many people living there.
But soon, everyone was not happy——
Because some dialogue appeared in the video.
An old grandfather asked, “I want to get some cash, but there’s no bank nearby, what should I do?”
His daughter said, “Dad, now it’s all mobile payment, just scan the code directly on the mobile phone, our city seems to have no bank.”
The grandfather was distressed, “But I don’t have a bank card, only a passbook.”
The daughter thought for a while and said, “Then I can only take you by train to the next city to get one.”
Everyone: “…”
Oops, how did they forget such an important financial institution such as a bank?
On the street, several sanitation workers pushed garbage trucks, cleaning and chatting at the same time.
A woman said, “Alas, our city doesn’t even have a regular garbage disposal station, and the garbage must be transported to the next city for disposal. I don’t know what the people who planned the city thought at the beginning!”
Everyone: “…”
Another sanitation worker sighed and said, “I was in a hurry this morning and was about to suffocate, and I didn’t see a public toilet on the side of the road. Alas, it seems that I can only go out every day to drink a little less water, so as not to go to the toilet.”
Yue Xingwen helplessly supported his forehead, garbage disposal stations, public toilets, they all forgot about it!
Next to them, a family of three was walking and chatting on the sidewalk, and the young man said, “I bought a new mobile phone, it’s really troublesome to change the phone card. I searched everywhere and didn’t find the mobile, unicom, telecommunications business office!”
The woman said, “I lost my bank card and I can’t get a replacement ah.”
The child said, “Mom, I want to go to the zoo and see giraffes!”
The woman touched his head helplessly. “There is no zoo here, mommy will take you later, okay?”
The child started to cry. “I want to see the giraffe!”
The man rubbed his temples. “Otherwise, let’s just live in a different city.”

Ke Shaobin: “This is naked mockery!”
Yue Xingwen nodded seriously. “In this way, it can give us a low score.”
Qin Lu stared at the upper right corner worriedly. “Just now the prompt of congratulations on passing the exam popped up, so we should have passed, right?”
At this moment, a familiar hover box appeared in the upper right corner, which was the scoring settlement after the library reviewed the city they planned——
Research Group: C-183
Course: Urban Planning
Credit: 4
Clearance Score: 75 points
Final Point: 4×75 = 300 points
Research Group Bonus: Group C points bonus x 1.5 times. The final point is 450 points
Course Failure Rate: 0%
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other, 75 points, which was the lowest score since the establishment of their Research Group, most of the previous courses were above 90 points. This time, the score showed that in the library’s view, their Urban Planning was really not up to 80 points.
After all, without the key institutions such as banks, mobile Unicom telecom offices, public toilets and garbage disposal plants, citizens simply could not live normally in the city. In particular, the lack of garbage disposal plants would cause a large amount of solid garbage to be piled up in the entire city, and the cost of transporting it to the other places for disposal would be particularly high.
Yue Xingwen spoke with guilt. “We still didn’t think carefully enough.”
Jiang Pinge comforted him, “It’s good to pass, after all, we are not professionals. It’s hard to design an entire city in 8 hours, even if you invite a bunch of experts over, it’s difficult to complete.”
Ke Shaobin said optimistically, “That’s right! Passing is passing, and we are 15 higher than the passing score! It’s not a big deal, we’ll get more points and upgrade our skills at the next faculty.”
The scoring was already out, there was no point in continuing to dwell on this. Yue Xingwen simply said, “Okay, everyone go back to the library and prepare for the later faculty. Whether to take a public elective course this weekend, when the time comes, look at the class schedule and then discuss.”
He pressed the option of ‘leaving the exam room’, and 12 people returned to the familiar library’s waiting room once again.
When he pushed the door out, he saw that Qin Lang and Yu Mingyu’s team also came from the next classroom. Yue Xingwen asked politely, “Senior, what is your score in this course? I noticed that the pass rate of this course is 0%, which means that most teams can pass with a little bit of effort to design.”
Each course in the library had a failure rate standard, and the system would eliminate teams according to the initial set failure rate. Of course, due to the emergence of the forum strategy, the failure rate of some of the courses that had been cleared had been greatly reduced.
But it was still the first time they saw 0% failure rate.
It showed that the course in the Faculty of Geography was easy to pass, but it was difficult to get a high score.
Qin Lan heard Yue Xingwen’s question and touched his nose awkwardly. “We only got 60 points, and forgot the sidewalk. When the last sand table was played, the residents came out of the community and were hit and killed by several cars on the road!”
Liu Xiaoxiao next to him didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. “It’s so tragic to live in the city we designed, and there are car accidents every day.”
Yu Mingyu said with a smile, “Then we are a little better, 70 points. We didn’t build crematoriums, cemeteries, garbage disposal stations, children’s training centers, hotels and highways.”
Zhuo Feng was surprised. “So our 75 points are still high?”
Everyone looked at each other for a while, and Yue Xingwen concluded. “In this way, the library is actually kind to us, because strictly speaking, a city like ours that lacks arms and legs can’t be inhabited at all.”
Qin Lang nodded. “Yes, just pass. What are you planning for this weekend?”
Yue Xingwen said, “It depends on the arrangement of the public election course. Public elective courses generally only have 2 credits, and if the content is troublesome, we won’t go. A little tired from continuous exams, everyone can take a rest on the weekend.”
Qin Lang agreed. “I also think so, this week after three consecutive faculties and six courses in a row, rest for a weekend. There is no need to be so tired for 2 credits.”
After returning to the dormitory, Yue Xingwen exchanged ideas with the two captains Qin Lang and Yu Mingyu, and collectively wrote a strategy for the reference of the later team. After the release of the strategy post, there were many junior brothers and sisters of ‘Urban Planning’ majors who added some details, and the discussion was very lively.
Usually living in the city, they took for granted many of the facilities and buildings around them, but when they were really asked to personally design a brand new city in a sand table game, it was hard to get everything right.
This course also made the Urban Planning students very excited. In reality, they could not participate in such large-scale urban design and construction, and now in the library, the knowledge they usually learn could finally be put into use. Some students on the lower floors even began to look forward to this course from the Faculty of Geography.
On Friday night, the library released a notice of its arrangements for the weekend.
To Yue Xingwen’s surprise, this week there was no school-public elective course, but rather the ‘Library’s First Talent Competition’, where students could sign up for the ‘Vocal Group’ and the ‘Dance Group’ to compete. Those who ultimately won the competition would receive two credits, just like in the Sports Meeting before.
The vocal group was divided into several groups, such as orchestral and folk music and other instrumental competitions, singing competitions such as American, ethnic and popular. The dance group was divided into modern dance, Latin dance, street dance and so on.
Ke Shaobin was puzzled. “This is for students from art colleges to gain credits, right?”
Liu Zhaoqing smiled and said, “Not necessarily. At the last sports meeting, not all the final winners were sports students. Many universities also have this kind of singing competition, and there must be many students who sing well. Do any of you want to sign up to try it?”
Jiang Pingce said lightly, “My talent in music and dance has not been lit up.”
Yue Xingwen said, “I can’t sing and dance, you can try it if you are interested, if you don’t want to go, sit under the stage to see the liveliness, or stay in the dormitory to rest. Let’s wait for the new faculty on Monday.”
In the end, the sisters, Qin Lu and Qin Miao signed up in modern dance, Lin Manluo went to play the guzheng, and Lan Yarong went to play the piano, so the girls in the team were quite talented. Xu Yishen and Liu Zhaoqing signed up to sing, the two were just there to have fun, and were eliminated at the audition stage. Senior brother Xu smiled and said, “It’s all about participation!”
This weekend event was just a chance for them to relax.
After two days of weekends, they could finally sleep until they woke up naturally, and not have to worry about taking exams or running for their life, such ‘normal’ days were really hard to come by.
On Sunday night, Yue Xingwen sent a message in the chat channel: “The usual rules for tomorrow, gather at 7:30 in front of canteen no.1, and go to the new faculty after breakfast.”
In the new week, the class schedules for all the faculty were released in the course selection center.
The C-183 Research Group had breakfast and were taking the elevator to the 9th floor when they noticed that their elevator buttons had once again changed——
1st floor – Faculty of Medicine
2nd floor – Faculty of Mathematics
3rd floor – Faculty of Architecture
4th floor – Faculty of Biological Science
5th floor – Public Election Course Center
6th floor – Faculty of Law
7th floor – Faculty of Environment
8th floor – Faculty of Geography
9th floor – Faculty of Arts NEW~
Seeing the new faculty, Yue Xingwen couldn’t help but be stunned, “Faculty of Arts?! Music, dance, and all that?”
Everyone looked at each other.
Ke Shaobin couldn’t help but complain, “I don’t have a little bit of artistic cells ah, what should I do?”
Zhang Xiaonian whispered, “I’m tone deaf, and dance like a zombie.”
Liu Zhaoqing smiled bitterly and said, “I thought that the library’s faculty was designed according to the comprehensive university, such as science, chemistry, politics, history and geography, but I didn’t expect to include the Faculty of Arts as well?”
Qin Miao said calmly, “At the last library’s Sports Meeting, we found a lot of students from music and art. Since the library pulled in students from these majors, designing courses related to them isn’t a violation.”
Yue Xingwen touched his chin thoughtfully. “Art courses, we can’t handle them at all if they are too specialized, like oil paintings, watercolors, sketches, I can’t understand them at all. I don’t know much about music and dance.”
Qin Lu said, “I have studied dance with my sister, and I know a little about all kinds of dances, but compared with the students from the arts, I’m still not professional enough. But I don’t think the library’s program is designed to be so difficult for the average team to pass, right?”
Jiang Pingce said calmly, “Let’s look at the class schedule first. If that doesn’t work, then we’ll recruit an X-team member.”
Yue Xingwen opened the class schedule.
There were three compulsory courses in the Faculty of Arts.
Monday and Wednesday at 2:00 pm, compulsory course <Illusion in the Painting> credit 3
Tuesday and Thursday at 2:00 pm, compulsory course <Musical Melody>, credit 3
Every evening from Monday to Friday at 8:00 pm, compulsory course <Masquerade Ball>, credit 3
It was completely impossible to tell from the course names what exactly was being tested in one art, one music, and one dance course.
Yue Xingwen rubbed his temples helplessly and said, “Let’s find an X-team member as an outside help!”
whoo, finally! the art majors are here and have the time to shine. I’m so excited to see the rest of this course, and how the author plans to play with them 💖💖🥳🎉
We’re getting a new friend!! 😍
Thank you for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter 😍
Wow, new member
Thank you for your translation 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Meh. It’s a little bothersome how the author doesn’t properly explore their time off to develop the main couple’s relationship or even the side characters. It feels like a wasted opportunity. The faculties are fun, but it can get a little repetitive if there is no development outside of that. This last faculty of Geography, the second course was super boring, felt more like a filler than anything.
