Jiang Pingce led everyone through the last flight of stairs and pushed open the door at the end of the stairs.
Yue Xingwen raised his eyes and saw that he was at the rooftop at the top of the building. The sky above his head was as blue as if it was so clear without any other disturbing colors, and in the distance was the strange city with tall buildings. As everyone walked towards the rooftop, the prompt of passing the course was appeared in front of everyone’s eyes at the same time——
Research Group: C-183
Course: Endless Stairs
Credit: 3
Clearance Score: 95 points
Final Point: 3×95 = 285 points
Research Group Bonus: Group C points bonus x 1.5 times. The final point is 428 points
Credit Sharing Function Settlement:
Xin Yan, Qin Miao, Liu Zhaoqing, and Xu Yishen received 3 credits, and 428 shared points
Course Failure Rate: 45%
The image before their eyes flashed, and they were back inside the empty classroom of the library.
Four teammates who did not take the examination were waiting for them in the classroom. Liu Zhaoqing quickly greeted them and said, “We also saw the information of passing the course. Thanks for your hard work, it feels good to lie down to win!”
Xu Yishen said with a smile, “The score of 95 is very high ah. Is this stairs maze harder than the prime number maze?”
Jiang Pingce said, “The amount of calculation of this stairs maze is not much, but the space is more complicated and the difficulty is slightly higher.”
Qin Miao came over and asked her twin sister, “Did the process go well?”
Qin Lu said with a bewildered expression, “I haven’t figure out the structure of the maze until now, but I walked and came out anyway.”
Lin Manluo smiled and said, “I also don’t understand how we passed the last three floors.”
Zhang Xiaonian carefully explained, “The space of the last three floors was completely chaotic. All the stairs were moving, rotating, and looked like the same place. In fact, every time the stairs were connected to the next staircase, it was possible to enter another space. We measured the distance between the stairs and the roof to determine the current floor, and asked senior brother Zhuo to mark it.”
Zhuo Feng said, “That’s right, after making the mark. I walked five times according to Pingce’s method, and then I went from the 10th floor to the 12th floor and found the door to the roof. I was getting dizzy going through this maze and it was really hard to get through it without students with good spatial imagination. Someone in the team has to be particularly good at 3D geometry to lead the team.”
Yue Xingwen patted Jiang Pingce’s shoulder and said, “It’s been hard work, it wasted a lot of your brain cells, right?”

Zhuo Feng asked, “Are we going straight to the 4th floor tomorrow?”
Yue Xingwen said, “En. There are still 3 days from Wednesday to Friday, we can pass another Faculty.”
At this rate, passing two Faculties a week, it was estimated that it would be another month or so before they could leave the library and return to the real world. Although everyone did not say anything, they were looking forward to graduating from this ghost place soon.
Zhuo Feng said, “Yu Mingyu and his team from Kyoto University have gone to the 4th floor this week. The 4th floor is the Faculty of Biological Science.”
Xu Yishen narrowed his eyes and said, “Faculty of Biological Science? Is the course difficult?”
Zhuo Feng said, “They were a four-person team before, and they had been recruiting and expanding their team, wanting to move up to a 12-person Research Group before going for the exam. They haven’t taken the examination yet, and the specific content of the course is unclear.”
The process of Yue Xingwen forming a Research Group was quite smooth. At the beginning, he met senior brother Zhuo Feng and 2 of his teammates, then they merged their teams. After that, he met Xin Yan, the twin sisters, Qin Miao and Qin Lu, plus Zhang Xiaonian, which made them 11 people.
The team at Kyoto University was full of science students, and their progress had been stopping at the 4th floor. Senior brother Yu would definitely recruit some teammates from the liberal arts to continue to pass the course. Since the level 3 Research Group opened the functions of ‘X-team member’ and ‘credit sharing’, it would be more convenient to directly upgrade to the level 3 Research Group.
Yue Xingwen asked, “Is senior brother Yu’s group full?”
Zhuo Feng said, “En, he sent me a message last night saying that he finally got 12 people together. He found a lot of liberal arts students, and they just went to the examination today. Their progress is similar to ours.”
Yue Xingwen thought about it carefully, and said, “Should we recruit another team member?”
Their 12-person Research Group was still 1 person short.
Jiang Pingce said, “I think we can recruit another girl who is majoring in liberal arts.”
Yue Xingwen happened to think of the same thing as him and said, “Doesn’t senior sister Manluo’s dormitory have one spot vacant in a quadruple room? Recruit another girl from the liberal arts program to come over and move into the senior sister’s room, and we’ll have a full team of 12.”
At present, Liu Zhaoqing, Xu Yishen, Zhuo Feng and Zhang Xiaonian lived in the F930 quadruple room, Xin Yan-Ke Shaobin and Yue Xingwen-Jiang Pingce lived in a double room. If they recruited a boy again, it was hard to assign the dormitory. It happened that the girl’s side was still three with one bed still vacant. Their team’s liberal arts was relatively weak, so recruiting a liberal arts girl was the best option.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
Lin Manluo said, “Our dormitory is very harmonious. If we recruit another girl, she can sleep in the bed next to me.”
Qin Lu said, “I also think that it’s better to have a group of 12 people. The number of people in the examination room of many courses is limited to 12 people. If our Research Group is full, there’s no need to worry about matching strange students in the future.”
Zhuo Feng asked Yue Xingwen, “Xingwen, what major do you prefer to find for the teammate?”
Yue Xingwen thought carefully and said, “In terms of the comprehensiveness, our current configuration has physics, chemistry, and biology all together, as well as Chinese, math, history, and geography. We’re still short of foreign languages and politics.”
The basic subjects in high school were the more comprehensive subjects, Chinese, mathematics, English, chemistry, biology, physics, politic, history and geography. The university’s majors were extended and refined from the 9 high school subjects. For example, medicine needed a biology and chemistry basis; Architecture required a foundation in mathematics and physics; Majors such as economics and law required students with a good political foundation.
Yue Xingwen looked at everyone and asked, “If we’re looking for foreign languages or political science and law, what major will you guys prefer?”
Jiang Pingce said, “I personally recommend the Political Science and Law major.”
Yue Xingwen also thought so, nodded and replied, “Our team’s foreign language is actually not weak. Senior brother Xu is of mixed race and his mother is European, so he should know a foreign language, right?”
Xu Yishen smiled and replied, “I know two languages, French and German, and I have no problem with everyday conversation.”
Zhuo Feng gave a thumbs up. “You’re so deeply hidden ah!”
Xu Yishen narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. “You flatter me, I never hid it, you guys never asked.”
Everyone: “…” You were really not modest!
There were so many languages in the Faculty of Foreign Languages, there were Japanese, Korean, French, German, Russian, etc.
Even if they looked for a teammate in a Foreign Language Department, they would not find all-rounders who were proficient in seven or eight languages.
It was unclear what skills the Foreign Language Department was, but the library had numerous major skills than they could count. Overall, it was just control, attack, and displacement, and their current team skill combination had been very comprehensive. As long as they could pass the Faculty of Foreign Language in the future, it was already enough.
Yue Xingwen said, “Senior brother Xu can be regarded as half of the Foreign Language Department. I, Pingce, senior brother Zhuo, senior sister Manluo and young ke have all passed 6th level in English. Does everyone else know another foreign language?”
Ke Shaobin raised his hand and said, “I know some Japanese.”
Xin Yan looked at him with some surprise and asked, “When did you learn Japanese?”
Ke Shaobin explained seriously, “I often watch Japanese’s anime, and I enrolled in a Japanese language study class for two years.” He lowered his head a little embarrassed, “It’s okay for daily conversations. I can’t understand if it’s too complicated.”
Yue Xingwen looked at a few people who had not yet taken a stand and asked, “What about the others?”
Liu Zhaoqing said, “English 6th level, which graduate students are required to pass.”
Xin Yan said, “6th level.”
Qin Lu said, “My sister and I have passed the 4th level, and we’re going to take the 6th level before graduation.”
Zhang Xiaonian lowered his head in shame and said, “I only enrolled in 4th level this year. Before I could take the examination, I was pulled into the library.”
Xu Yishen smiled and said, “Junior brother can take the 4th level in your first year, you’re already very impressive.”
Zhuo Feng could not help but sigh, “All had passed 4th level English. More than half of us are at 6th level. Our team also has someone who knows French, German, and Japanese. So, it seems that there’s no need to find a teammate from a Foreign Language Department specifically?”
Yue Xingwen nodded and said, “On the latter floor, if there’s a Faculty of Foreign Language, one of the compulsory courses should be English, and for the other minor language courses, we can get X-team members to help over when the time comes. It’s better to find a Political Science and Law student for a regular teammate.”
Jiang Pingce looked at him and asked, “Do you want to recruit through the forum? Or find an acquaintance for a recommendation?”
Zhuo Feng suggested and said, “I think an acquaintance’s recommendation is more reliable. Xingwen and Pingce’s popularity is too high, and there are too many fanboys and fangirls. So, if we recruit from the forum, the people who sign up will probably be too many.”
Since Yue Xingwen had sent a lot of strategies, and Jiang Pingce’s Prime Number maze strategy was also floating on the front page, they would also organize the strategy for the Endless Stairs maze after they went back later. Once the news of the C-183 Research Group led by the two top students recruiting team member was put out in the forum, there would indeed be a large number of students flocking to the group, and it would not be good to screen it, and it would offend people if they did not get selected.
Therefore, they should not have made a big move to recruit a team member, it was best to find them privately.
Yue Xingwen thought for a while, and said, “Do you guys think it’s better to find the Political Science and Law Department from Hua’an University’s alumni, or from outside universities?”
The current team only had Qin Lu, who majored in Geographical Planning, from Nanyang Jiaotong University, which was also a top 10 major university in the country. She joined the team because followed her sister. The other 10 people were all from Hua’an University.
Lin Manluo suggested, “Speaking of Political Science and Law, the most powerful is Beijiang University of Political Science and Law. Although our university’s law department is not weak, it’s still worse than Beijiang Political Science and Law. Why don’t I talk to Muyun and ask her for a recommendation?”
Chen Muyun, the president of the Beijiang University of Politics and Law’s Student Council, one of the few female presidents, had fought against Yue Xingwen in the debate tournament, and she had also drafted the library’s Student Convention.
After the joint university meeting, Lin Manluo and Chen Muyun kept in touch privately.
The student she recommended would definitely not be weak. Yue Xingwen simply nodded and said, “Then I’ll trouble senior sister to ask Chen Muyun to recommend someone. Their university has a lot of Political Science and Law majors, and I estimate that their team can’t squeeze in that many Political Science and Law Department’s students.”
Lin Manluo said, “Okay, I’ll contact her as soon as I get back.”
After returning to the dormitory, Lin Manluo sent a forum message to Chen Muyun: “Muyun, there are 11 people in our Research Group, and still have a slot for one person. Xingwen wants to find a teammate majoring in Political Science and Law, do you have a suitable candidate on your side, and help to recommend that person to us?”
Chen Muyun replied quickly: “Is it okay for a law major? There are so many law students on my side!”
Lin Manluo: “Okay, we’ll take the law student.”
Chen Muyun replied: “I’ll give you guys an answer after I ask if she’s willing to go over.”
Now we are founding new pretty smart girl~
