Yue Xingwen took his three teammates to upgrade the Research Group. A prompt popped up in the tablet that the current C-183 Research Group was still at level 1, and it took 2,000 points to upgrade to level 2, and 3,000 points to upgrade to level 3.
In other words, they had to take 5,000 points to upgrade the Research Group to level 3.
So many points made Yue Xingwen a little distressed, but the expansion of the Research Group was imminent, and his dictionary did not need to be upgraded in a hurry. Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen said, “5,000 points, let’s share it equally among the four of us.”
Jiang Pingce said, “Each person gives Xingwen 1,250.”
Since the other team members had not joined the Research Group yet, they could not trade points with them directly, so the four of them would have to come up with this portion of points for upgrading the Research Group.
Both Liu Zhaoqing and Ke Shaobin were not calculating people and simply traded 1,250 points to Yue Xingwen.
Yue Xingwen placed his fingers lightly on the fingerprint recognition area of the tablet, and a prompt popped up on the screen: “Upgrading C-183 Research Group to level 3, consuming 5,000 points, is it confirmed?”
Followed by another prompt: “Level 3 Research Group can accommodate 12 team members, unlock [X-team member] function, unlock [Credit Sharing] function, please click to view details.”
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce glanced at each other and immediately clicked on the details out of curiosity——
[X-team member]
The team member is not a fixed member of the team, does not occupy the maximum number of places in the team, can be replaced at any time. The team member can join two Research Groups at the same time and get credit, equivalent to the role of ‘external support’. If necessary, you can recruit ‘X-team member’ to help you pass the course, but you only have one chance to recruit per floor, so please use it wisely.
[Credit Sharing]
In courses marked ‘Limited for the Research Group’, when more than half of the members of the entire Research Group pass the examination, the remaining members automatically share credits and average points. ‘Half’ is calculated based on the maximum number of members in the Research Group. For example, if the maximum number of members in a level 3 Research Group is 12, more than half means that seven people have passed the exam and the remaining five people will be treated equally.
The team leader can arrange different teams to take different courses depending on the area of expertise of the team members. In the credit sharing mode, if the team members fail the course, the team members who do not participate in the exam are also judged to have failed, and the whole members of the Research Group need to return to the 1st floor for retaking the course.
With the expansion of the Research Group, the number of members will gradually increase. The team leader has a heavy responsibility, so please use the limited functions of the Research Group with caution.
Yue Xingwen pondered carefully for a moment, and said, “X-team member is an external support, they don’t take up the quota and can also join two Research Groups at the same time. That is to say, we can cooperate with other Research Groups, and we can exchange team members?”
Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses and sounded a little excited. “This solves the problem of some of the faculty’s courses being difficult to pass without any expertise! The further we get to the floor upstairs, the fewer students there will be, as courses on the 2nd and 3rd floors need to join the Research Group to pass. It’s going to get harder and harder for us to recruit regular teammates, and the X-team member give the Research Group unlimited possibilities, right?”
Yue Xingwen nodded. “That’s what it means. No Research Group can fill the students from all majors. This X-team member’s existence allows us to swap members with other Research Groups or ‘borrow’ their members temporarily to help out when faced with some university courses.”

Liu Zhaoqing also could not help but praise, “The library that doesn’t speak of military ethics has finally done a human thing!”

Ke Shaobin looked at Yue Xingwen. “This will be a test of the team leader’s ability to arrange troops.”
Yue Xingwen laughed. “I’m still quite confident about this, and the people in the current team should be willing to listen to my arrangement. If you don’t understand, I can also explain.”
The reason why Zhuo Feng made Yue Xingwen the team leader was also for this reason; Even if Jiang Pingce respected him as ‘senior brother’ on the surface, he might not necessarily listen to him in critical moments. Xin Yan and Qin Miao who had just been added were more cold than the other, and Zhuo Feng was not familiar with them, so he simply handed over the handling of interpersonal relations to Yue Xingwen.
After returning to the conference room, Yue Xingwen introduced the new features of the level 3 Research Group to everyone.
Qin Miao immediately grasped the key point. “Limited for the Research Group? I remember that the registration information for <Prime Number Maze> wrote the words ‘Limited course for the Research Group’. That means, our Research Group was already at level 3 at that time and the credit sharing feature had been opened up. Yue Xingwen could pick seven students who were good at maze to pass the courses, and the one who weren’t good at maze could have just waited, lying down and winning?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaonian’s eyes lit up, “For a person with a poor sense of direction like me can skip the maze class?”
Zhuo Feng stroked his chin, “Interesting, we can set up a line up so that different team members can go for different courses. Those who are good at reasoning can go for reasoning classes; Students with a lot of attack and displacement skills can go to survival classes…” He looked over at Yue Xingwen and smiled, “It’s that Xingwen will have a headache. You’re going to lose a handful of hair every time you need to decide who will go or not in an examination.”
Yue Xingwen swept his gaze across the room and said seriously, “If we really need to split the group to take a course in the future, I hope you can understand my arrangement and say it to my face if you have doubts, don’t keep it inside. I’m a straightforward person by nature, and I won’t be angry if you say it to my face. Buf if you complain with other people behind my back, I will be angry when I know it.”
Liu Zhaoqing teased, “If Xingwen is angry, the consequences will be very serious. After all, his dictionary is thicker than a brick, and smashing it can give us a concussion at any time.”
Remembering his dictionary, there was a burst of laughter in the conference room.
Yue Xingwen also smiled and said, “From now on, we are a team, and everything will be based on the interests of the team first. In the library’s harsh environment, it’s a rare thing for everyone to get together, take care of each other, and help each other. I hope we respect each other and it’s best not to make conflicts.”
Jiang Pingce said indifferently, “None of us are children, I think we all have a heart, so don’t make things difficult for Xingwen.”
Yue Xingwen nodded. “Of course I believe in everyone. Next, let’s sum up everyone’s credits and current skills.” He looked at Ke Shaobin. “I’ll trouble young Ke to use your laptop to write it down. Your laptop can be taken to the examination room.”
Ke Shaobin immediately opened his laptop and quickly made a team members’ information table.
Zhuo Feng said, “I currently have 2 credits of <Escape from the Laboratory>, 4 credits of <Cardiovascular Ward>, 2 credits of <Jewelry Appreciation>, 3 credits of <Prime Number Maze>, and the second course of the Faculty of Mathematics <Death Code> that I haven’t had time to take it yet. I have a total of 11 credits.”
Yue Xingwen wondered, “If you retake the course, do all the credits you took before not count?”
Zhuo Feng nodded. “Yes, retakes will clear all the credits and start over. However, only credits are given, not points to upgrade skills.”
Everyone: “……”
It was miserable to come back and start over from zero.
Lin Manluo said, “I’m the same as Zhuo Feng and Xu Yishen, and my vine skills are also in level 1.”
Xu Yishen followed, “My mitosis is level 1.”
Zhang Xiaonian said softly, “I only came to the library this week, I didn’t make it with the weekend public elective course, and my credits were 2 points worse than my senior brothers and senior sister.”
Yue Xingwen thought for a while, and said, “You four can’t be added directly to the Research Group at the moment, you still have one more course to take in the Faculty of Mathematics. So tomorrow on Friday, you’ve to finish taking the <Death Code> course first and then get into the Research Group in the evening.”
Zhuo Feng nodded. “En, we can only do this. We’re still short of one compulsory course, so it doesn’t count as a pass for the Faculty of Mathematics.”
Qin Miao said, “Qin Lu and I have the same credits as Xingwen’s group, and we take <Cross-Country Orienteering> for a public elective course. For skills, I learnt Zhao Kuangyin ‘to dismiss military hierarchy using wine cups’, which can disarm a large range of groups, and my points are almost enough to exchange for my next skill.”
Qin Luo said, “The plate movement of my globe is level 2, and it can be used 6 times.”
Xin Yan said, “Infinite Spirit Lamp, and corrosive strong acid Aqua Regia. I took an extra elective course, so my total credits are 19.”
Jiang Pingce said, “I took two more electives, with a total of 23 credits.”
As for Yue Xingwen and Liu Zhaoqing’s credits and skills, Ke Shaobin knew them all and just copied and pasted them.
After sorting out the table, he rotated the laptop screen to Yue Xingwen to see.
At that time, in order to wait for Yue Xingwen, Jiang Pingce went to the elective courses of the Faculty of Medicine and his total credit was the highest at 23 credits. Xin Yan also went to elective courses after the public elective course in order to wait for them on the 3rd floor and had 19 credits. Yue Xingwen, Liu Zhaoqing, Ke Shaobin, Qin Miao, Qin Lu, had 17 credits; Zhuo Feng’s three-person group had 11 credits, and Zhang Xiaonian only had 9 credits.
The team was like a wooden barrel, whether it leaked or not depended on the lowest board, so the next course schedule had to be based on Zhang Xiaonian’s credits. The good thing was that he could also get 6 credits after taking the second compulsory course in the Faculty of Mathematics, <Death Code>, and he was only 2 credits short from Yue Xingwen and the other because of the public elective course, so it was not difficult to catch up.
Seeing that he was at the end of the line, Zhang Xiaonian lowered his head with some embarrassment.
Yue Xingwen patted his junior brother’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, in the end, we will definitely have everyone graduate together. The Research Group has an ‘X-team member’ function, if there aren’t enough 100 credits from the compulsory courses, and we finally have to take the elective courses to collect credits, I will loan you out to another Research Group to be an external support.”
Zhang Xiaonian nodded seriously, “En, I’ll listen to your arrangements!”
Yue Xingwen turned his head to look at Zhuo Feng and said, “Senior brother, we have to continue to keep in touch with the Research Group of Kyoto University, Binjiang Normal University and other universities. We will definitely have to rely on ‘X-team member] to get credits at a later stage, and their team may also have different credits, so we can discuss swapping each other team members when the time comes.”
Zhuo Feng smiled. “Don’t worry, I’m very familiar with Old Yu, and I am also always in contact with Qin Lang.”
Yue Xingwen said, “Except for senior brother Zhuo’s team, everyone else can now disband their Research Group and join my side after the cooldown time. Our Research Group’s number is C-183. Senior brother Zhuo will lead the group tomorrow afternoon to finish the second compulsory course in the Faculty of Mathematics, <Death Code>, and then join our group in the evening.”
Zhuo Feng asked, “Are we still participating in this weekend’s public elective course?”
Yue Xingwen said, “Wait for the class schedule to come out before we discuss it again.”
Xin Yan had left the team and had been waiting on the 3rd floor; Qin Miao and Qin Lu were sisters who had formed their own team, upon hearing this, they decisively disbanded their Research Group and waited for 15 minutes cool down before applying to join C-183, and Yue Xingwen approved the request on the spot.
The following afternoon, Zhup Feng led the team into the <Death Code> course, successfully completed the examination, got 6 credits, passed the Faculty of Mathematics on 2nd floor and officially joined the group. The credits of Zhuo Feng’s and his two teammates became 17, and Zhang Xiaonian was 15. Zhang Xiaonian was not retaking the course, so he could get points. He had more points in his hand, and he also went to exchange for a new skill from the Faculty of Architecture: Wall Construction.
Yue Xingwen asked him, “How does this skill work?”
Zhang Xiaonian said excitedly, “You can build walls anytime and anywhere, and several consecutive walls equal to one room.” He paused and added, “Unfortunately, the level 1 earthen walls are easily damaged and collapse if it’s hit. After upgrading, it can become brick walls, cement walls and shear walls. The most advanced shear wall uses a reinforced cement structure that can withstand earthquakes!”
Yue Xingwen: “……”
It was amazing. If they could not run away from being chased later, could Zhang Xiaonian build an anti-earthquake building on the spot for everyone to hide?
On Friday night, the schedule popped up again on all students’ tables——
Weekend Public Elective Course
8:00 – 10:00, Cross Country Orienteering
14:00 – 16:00, Jewelry Appreciation
Yue Xingwen was a little surprised, typing on the Research Group’s chat channel, “Why did it repeat the public elective course last week?”
Jiang Pingce said, “It can be that many students didn’t choose to take the course and are given another chance.”
Only 5,000 of the 30,000 students chose Orienteering last week, and repeating that would really give more people a chance to brush up on their credits.
Since Zhuo Feng and his two teammates had participated in the <Jewelry Appreciation> course, and the others had participated in the <Cross-Country Orienteering> course, they could not register for both of these courses. Yue Xingwen said helplessly. “Then let’s forget about it this week. Let’s all get a good rest, and go straight to the Faculty of Architecture next week. On Monday at 7:30am, let’s meet in canteen no. 1, don’t be late.”
Wow, the same discipline, I’m not expecting this, but it’s cool
