After the murderer was taken away by the police, the exam for the <The Mystery of the Construction Site> course at the Faculty of Architecture was officially over, and a passing message popped up in the hover box in front of everyone’s eyes at the same time——
Research Group: C-183
Course: The Mystery of the Construction Site
Credit: 4
Examinee: Yue Xingwen
Clearance Score: 95 points
Final Point: 4×95 = 380 points
Research Group Bonus: Group C points bonus x 1.5 times. The final point is 570 points
Course Failure Rate: 45%
Yue Xingwen found that the settlement information at this time was different from the <City Collapse> course. The course before did not have the line ‘Examinee: Yue Xingwen’, but the entire Research Group got the same points, and everyone’s clearance score was the same.
The name of the examinees were listed separately this time, was it a separate settlement?
Yue Xingwen looked at his teammates and asked, “My score is 95, what’s everyone’s clearance score?”
Jiang Pingce said, “I’m also 95.”
Zhang Xiaonian said, “I’ve got 92 points.”
Ke Shaobin said, “I’m the same as junior brother, I’ve also got 92 points.”
The others also reported their own scores—— Liu Zhaoqing and Qin Lu got 90 points. The remaining Zhuo Feng, Lin Manluo, Xu Yishen, Qin Miao, and Xin Yan all got 85 points.
“It seems, this course is not a Research Group limited course, and there is no point sharing function. So, the examination scores are calculated separately for each examinee.” Yue Xingwen paused and smiled, “As long as the Research Group passes the exam successfully, everyone’s score won’t be too low. A few points difference, there’s no need to mind.”
Zhuo Feng carefully analyzed, “It should be graded differently based on the contribution during the exam. This exam’s reasoning is mainly dependent on Xingwen and Pingce, so it’s fair for these two people to have the highest score. Xiao Ke checked a lot of information, and Xiao Nian measured the building and also dug the cement wall. Their contribution was also outstanding, scoring 92 points. Senior brother Liu, who scored 90 points, asked a lot of key information from Zhao Liang, and Qin Lu’s plate movements also helped a lot. The rest of us who got 85 points are just lying down to win ah?”
Lin Manluo made a joke, “We can even get 85 points as a soy sauce, it means our team is too strong. Our basic score is very high, several of us also follow the glory. We can get 510 points from 85 points multiplied by 4 credits and 1.5 times from the Research Group bonus. It’s enough to upgrade the skills.”
This was the advantage of joining a strong Research Group, they could get a lot of points by following the glory. Seeing that everyone had no objection to the results, Yue Xingwen pressed ‘Leave the Examination Room’ on the hover box, and everyone disappeared from the construction site and then returned to the library.
Library time, Monday, 4:00pm.
They finished the <City Collapse> course in the morning, and took <The Mystery of the Construction Site> course in the afternoon. They would have the final compulsory course of the Faculty of Architecture, <Endless Stairs> on Tuesday morning.
Yue Xingwen’s plan was to hurry up and clear the compulsory courses, taking classes 5 days a week, and it was best if they could finish two Faculties in a week.
One exam after another could be very stressful for everyone. Fortunately, after returning to the library, they could rest. Yue Xingwen looked at his teammates around him and found that everyone was also tired, so he said, “See you tomorrow at 7:40am in the morning, in the class selection hall on the 3rd floor.”

Jiang Pingce said, “En, say some reasoning ideas for references. There’s no need to write out the answer directly. Besides, the powerful team should have passed this course today.”
Yue Xingwen nodded, picked up the tablet, opened an empty post and started editing.
Watching him typing seriously, Jiang Pingce suddenly said, “Change your clothes and give it to me.”
Yue Xingwen was stunned for a moment and looked up at him, “Change clothes? What for?”
Jiang Pingce said, “We ran all the way in these sports clothes for that <City Collapse> course in the morning and sweated a lot. Just change and wash it.”
Yue Xingwen understood and laughed, “I almost forgot if you don’t say it! We desperately ran on the <City Collapse> course in the morning, and then went to the construction site. After several days in the workers’ clothes, we returned to the library and changed back to our morning clothes. The time and place changed, it was too chaotic.” He looked down at the short sleeves on his body and frowned, “All sweaty, it’s time to wash them.”
Yue Xingwen grabbed his pajamas and walked into the bathroom, changing his clothes. When he went out, Jiang Pingce naturally took the clothes from his hand and said in a flat tone, “You go and write the strategy, I’ll also wash my clothes, so I’ll do it for you by the way.”
Yue Xingwen was flattered, “This treatment is too good, right? You will help me… wash clothes?”
Jiang Pingce said, “You’re welcome, it’s what a roommate should do.”
Yue Xingwen smiled and gave two thumbs up. “If there’s a selection of outstanding roommates in the library, you will definitely win first place.”
The corners of Jiang Pingce’s mouth lifted slightly, “Stop being glib, just go and write your strategy.”
Yue Xingwen turned around and sat on the bed to write the strategy seriously.
Jiang Pingce carried the clothes of the two to the balcony, found a washbasin, rolled up his sleeves and began to wash.
From time to time, Yue Xingwen turned his head and glanced at him. From his side profile, Jiang Pingce was always cold and indifferent, with little expression. However, the boy standing on the balcony with his sleeves rolled up to wash clothes, and his body shed its cold and hard shell, actually revealing a trace of warmth of a family man.
He had not lived with Jiang Pingce before. This time as a roommate, Yue Xingwen found that Pingce was also very strict and attentive in life. In fact, the god of study was not as cold as everyone thought.
Yue Xingwen stared at Jiang Pingce for a while, and he did not write a single word for the strategy.
Jiang Pingce came back after washing the clothes and found Yue Xingwen sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze. So, he turned around and sat beside Yue Xingwen, looked at him sideways, and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong? Has the strategy been sent?”
Yue Xingwen came to his senses and suddenly said, “Do you know how to cook?”
The question was too jumpy, and Jiang Pingce was stunned for a moment before replying, “I can. Unfortunately, the library dormitory does not allow the use of electrical appliances, otherwise we can cook and eat by ourselves. I’ll cook all the sweet and sour pork and cola chicken wings you love.”
Yue Xingwen swallowed his saliva and said with a smile, “I really never thought that you could cook and do laundry before.”
Jiang Pingce raised his eyebrows lightly and said, “Then what kind of person do you think I should be?”
Yue Xingwen teased him, “A genius who doesn’t eat the food of common mortals, has no joy or sorrow, and is exceptionally good at math. In the future, you will definitely become a scientist, sitting in the office to study mathematical problems that everyone can’t understand. When people see you, they will call you Professor Jiang with respect. You’ll spend all your energy on scientific research instead of rolling up your sleeves and doing laundry and cooking at home.”
“……” Jiang Pingce raised his eyebrows lightly, “It sounds like a robot without emotions?”
Yue Xingwen hurriedly explained, “No, no, that’s my impression of you in high school. After going to university, and getting acquainted with you, I found that you were just more restrained in your emotions and didn’t like to express yourself. In fact, you’re a very attentive and gentle person.”
The corner of Jiang Pingce’s lips raised slightly—— Attentive, gentle? If the people from the Faculty of Mathematics heard such a comment from Yue Xingwen, they would probably drop their jaws in shock. After all, in the eyes of many junior brothers and sisters, senior brother Jiang Pingce was an iceberg that was extremely difficult to approach.
His gentleness was reserved only for you.
Jiang Pingce asked, “You didn’t write a word of your strategy? Stuck in ideas?” He said that, and then got up and took out a bag of potato chips from the snack box under the bed and handed it to Yue Xingwen. “Replenish some energy.”
Yue Xingwen smiled, immediately took the potato chips and tore it, thinking while eating, and soon the ideas flowed like a spring. He wrote the strategy in one breath and posted it to the forum.
The key to <The Mystery of the Construction Site> was the reasoning of character relationships and linking several events. By paying attention to each worker who appeared around, investigating their backgrounds and origins, and then linking the important events that had occurred over the years in a logical line, and analyzing them in terms of motive, it was not difficult to find the real culprit.
Yue Xingwen did not directly write ‘the murderer is the uncle’, which was too clear. The plot of different examination rooms might change, so he only taught everyone the method of reasoning, just like when talking about the question, he did not talk about the answer, only explained the idea of the question.
He believed that such a strategy could really help everyone.
The next morning, at 7:30am, everyone gathered at the entrance of the cafetaria on time. They settled for breakfast in 10 minutes, then got to the Faculty of Architecture class selection hall on the 3rd floor to prepare for the next course examination.
The last compulsory course of the Faculty of Architecture: Endless Stairs.
Yue Xingwen skillfully opened the class selection button from the tablet, and the course information popped up on the screen——
[Compulsory Course: Endless Stairs]
[Credit: 3]
[Examination Room Rules: Limited course for the Research Group, must register as a Research Group, can use credit sharing function]
[Course Description: A well-known architectural designer surnamed Zhao designed a maze with endless stairs, and it is said that no one can get out of this building]
[Examination Requirements: Get out of the maze in one hour]
[Note: The credit sharing function can reduce the number of examinees and is beneficial to passing the exam, please use it selectively]
[Confirm Course Selection: Yes/No]
Seeing this, Ke Shaobin couldn’t help but say, “The architect surnamed Zhao, wouldn’t that be Zhao Liang!”
Liu Zhaoqing scratched the back of his head and said, “Does the plot even come with a linkage between the courses in this Faculty of Architecture?”
Xu Yishen said with a deep smile, “The description didn’t say it was Zhao Liang, but it just said the surname Zhao. It was probably because the course <The Mystery of the Construction Site> has many protagonists surnamed Zhao.”
Zhuo Feng asked, “Do you want to use the credit sharing feature? Just 7 people taking the examination like the <City Collapse> before?”
Yue Xingwen looked thoughtfully at the course description.
Was it better to clear the course with fewer people? It was probably a dynamic maze, and it was easier for people to get lost.
The course <City Collapse> was an escape course that required a lot of displacement skills. This course was a maze course, requiring a strong sense of direction and memory. So, it was definitely impossible to directly apply the lineup of the course before.
Yue Xingwen glanced at everyone, fixing his gaze on his youngest junior brother, and asked, “Zhang Xiaonian, do you want to take part in this course?”
Zhang Xiaonan was a little entangled and said, “My sense of direction is not very good, but, maybe there’s gonna be some kind of mechanism inside this architectural maze? I have been studying various architectural drawings since childhood, and I should be able to help.” He did not want to be a drag on the team, and now that it was the Faculty of Architecture, he also wanted to contribute.
Yue Xingwen understood his thoughts and patted his shoulder with a smile. “It doesn’t matter if you have a poor sense of direction, you are not walking the maze alone, just follow us closely. You might as well participate, you’re a better professional than us in architectural design.”
Zhang Xiaonian nodded immediately, “Okay, I will follow everyone closely!”
Yue Xingwen followed up and said, “Then, I, Pingce, Zhang Xiaonian, Ke Shaobin, Qin Lu, senior brother Zhuo, and senior sister Manluo will participate in this course together.”
Senior brother Liu’s healing gauze and scalpel was not very useful in the maze. Xu Yishen’s mitosis, Qin Miao’s group disarming, Xin Yan’s strong acid, and spirit lamp were also really useless in the maze.
Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo did not participate in the course before, so let them participate this time and rotate the opportunity.
Qin Lu looked over at her sister, as if she was worried that her sister would be upset if she sat on the bench for two courses in a row. Qin Miao looked indifferent and said, “I’ll go to the liberal arts courses. It’s more useful for you to go in the maze.”
Qin Lu nodded and whispered, “Sister, we will definitely be able to pass.”
Xin Yan’s expression was very calm, and Ke Shaobin comforted him in a low voice, “Your skills will be useful when we encounter survival courses in the future, but your strong acid really isn’t very useful in the maze…”
Xin Yan replied lightly, “I know, I can’t use the ‘Aqua Regia’ to dissolve the stairs.”
Seeing that he did not mind, Ke Shaobin put his mind at ease.
Liu Zhaoqing said with a smile, “Come on, we can just wait to lie down and win.”
Zhuo Feng simply said, “Xingwen, if you encounter a credit sharing course in the future, you can just arrange it directly. With so many courses, it makes sense to find the most reasonable lineup to pass, and for the team, we believe you.”
Xu Yishen said with a smile, “That’s right, you are the team leader, you have the final say and we have no problem with it. I’m still happy not to have to take this course.”
The key to credit sharing was that if half of the students who went to the examination room failed, the other half who did not go to the examination would also fail the course. If people sat on the cold bench for several courses in a row, they would inevitably have some complaints in their heart.
Fortunately, the students in this team were not stingy, and they were willing to believe in Yue Xingwen’s decision as a team leader. So many people had just formed a team, still in the teething period. Yue Xingwen was quite relieved when everyone had no disputes after arranging the lineup twice.
He nodded towards everyone. “The 7 of us will go to the examination and we will work hard to take everyone through the course.”
After saying this, he pressed the ‘Class Selection’ button on the tablet in front of him.
A prompt sounded in everyone’s ears at the same time: “C-183 Research Group successfully selected a class, the compulsory course <Endless Stairs> of the Faculty of Architecture. The examination room is about to open, please wait…”
I love this group and the trust they have in each other and the leader!
also, I am glad the other class if over! this one sounds fast and exciting
thanks for the chapter <3
Trust between comrades is the best
Thank you very much for the translation 💙💙💙💙
What a roomate should do you mean boyfriend right 🤨
