Chapter 111
Unless there are special circumstances, members of the patrol team who have just completed a Rule World Mission are given a one-month rest period.
Patrol members won’t be assigned missions during the break.
It was another full day of classes.
Lin Yi picked out the textbooks for today’s classes from the desk and as per usual, knocked on Cheng Yang’s door to wake him up.
After eating in the cafeteria, the two of them followed the crowd to the teaching building area.
On the way, Cheng Yang said nothing, simply reading as he walked. Because he wasn’t looking where he was walking, he hit a bump on the path and face-planted on the ground. Blood immediately started to flow from between his teeth.
“Oh shit!” Cheng Yang gritted his teeth and looked back at Lin Yi, “Lin Yi Xiong, why didn’t you pull me…”
Behind him, Lin Yi was frozen mid-attempt to catch him. Looks like Lin Yi hadn’t managed to pull him back in time.
Cheng Yang changed his words, “Why didn’t you warn…”
Lin Yi’s mouth was also half-open, seemed he was just about to shout out a warning.
Cheng Yang: “…”
There were students around turning to look at them. Although he hadn’t been the one to take such a terrible fall in front of all these people, Lin Yi was still feeling embarrassed for Cheng Yang. He quickly pulled the other up.
Cheng Yang covered his mouth, blood was dripping from between his fingers. It seemed that that fall had been quite hard. Lin Yi said, “You should head to the infirmary.”
Cheng Yang glanced at the blood on his hands, hesitated for a while and then shook his head.
After spitting out the blood, Cheng Yang realized that he had broken a tooth. Looking at the broken tooth in the palm of his hand, his face was full of frustration. “I’m not going. Class is starting soon.”
Lin Yi took out his phone and took a photo of Cheng Yang.
He passed it over to him.
Cheng Yang saw that his face was covered with blood. If he went to the classroom like this, he would probably scare a few students to death.
Lin Yi turned on the screen of his mobile phone and looked at the time. There was still seven minutes until class. It was obviously too late to go to the infirmary. He also knew what Cheng Yang was worried about. The mid-term exams was coming soon. After the exams, the results of the entire university would be summarized and ranked and the students at the bottom would be selected to enter a Rule World.
Cheng Yang was very aware of the state of his grades. Right now, he was relying on his performance and conduct to support his score. He didn’t dare be late, as points will be deducted for tardiness.
Lin Yi thought for a while and said, “Cheng Yang Xiong, you go to the infirmary first. I’ll ask the advisor for leave for you.”
No points would be deducted if a student asks for leave but Cheng Yang still shook his head and said mournfully, “Forget it.”
Because mid-terms was approaching, the teachers have stopped teaching new content. For the past few days, they’ve been reviewing topics they’d covered before. Not only that, they were also highlighting key points that would appear on the exams. Cheng Yang didn’t dare miss it.
Lin Yi urged. “Go quickly.”
He pushed Cheng Yang towards the direction of the infirmary: “I’ll ask for leave for you. You think I can’t tell you the professor’s key points? I’ll tutor you on the knowledge points you’ll miss.”
“You’re a lifesaver!” Cheng Yang was moved. Hand over his mouth, he headed for the infirmary.
Lin Yi took the books from Cheng Yang, walked to the classroom and contacted the advisor using his mobile phone.
It was very easy to ask for leave from the advisor. Lin Yi wrote a bunch of reasons why Cheng Yang needed the leave and Advisor Jiang Tao replied with an ‘Ok’.
The class bell rang in the quiet and closed campus. Lin Yi walked into the classroom quickly and found somewhere to sit down.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
There were 14 people in his major and the other 12 students had arrived in the classroom early. While the professor has yet to arrive, they were reading and reviewing by themselves.

There were indeed notes in Cheng Yang’s textbook, but the notes were all in the wrong places.
The professor came in after a while. As there were only 14 students in this major and they’ve been having class for two months, doing rollcall was unnecessary. After all, he could tell who was absent at a glance.
Lin Yi quickly raised his hand and told the teacher about Cheng Yang’s leave.
Teacher Sun gave an ‘en’. “You’ll be doing self-study review for the next class.”
For the first class, Teacher Sun led the students to review and mark the key points. There was a 15-minute break in between and for the second class, Teacher Sun had everyone review by themselves.
“People from the student union will be coming so everyone keep quiet and review by yourselves.” Teacher Sun warned them in advance. “If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can contact me after class. I have asked your advisor to set up the contact permissions.”
Lin Yi sent a text message to Cheng Yang during the break.
[Lin Yi]: Cheng Yang Xiong, why haven’t you come back yet? Is it serious?
[Cheng Yang]: I’m dizzy…
The 15-minute break ended quickly and the students who took a bathroom break all returned on time. They then continued to study with their books in their hands. The classroom was quite large and there were few students, so the whole classroom seemed extremely empty. But at this time, it was filled with a learning atmosphere.
The students were all studying and Lin Yi felt too embarrassed to bother them by borrowing notes. And so he opened the book and simply read up on what he had missed.
As he read, he made his own notes. From time to time, Lin Yi would stop to think about how to make his notes easier to understand. Based on his understanding of Cheng Yang, he felt he ought to dumb it down a bit more.
He was completely immersed in his own thinking. It took a lot of effort to simplify each knowledge point.
This was really too difficult.
This was harder than figuring out the main plot of a Rule World.
Lin Yi put down the book and rubbed his eyes. He had to take a break to let his brain relax.
After a short rest, Lin Yi casually raised his head and was met with the sight of Qin Zhou in his class.
Qin Zhou wasn’t the only member of the student union present. There was also Ou Ying and several familiar faces that Lin Yi often saw during the review meetings. Basically, the core members of the student union were here.
It must be for the mid-term exam. Teacher Sun gave Ou Ying the first version of the exam paper and Ou Ying gave Teacher Sun the first version of the exam paper prepared by the student union.
Mid-term exams were a matter of life and death for the students and it needed to be fair.
It was inevitable that the teacher would be considerate of his students and give out too easy questions or it might be the student union who may give out the easy questions. The teacher and the student union would each produce a test paper and then combine the two after several discussions.
Ou Ying handed Teacher Sun’s exam paper to the student union member charged with this task while Teacher Sun looked at the exam paper from the student union. The teacher’s speed was naturally faster than theirs. After a few scans, Teacher Sun returned the test paper to them.
Ou Ying said, “Teacher, if you have any questions, you may ask us directly.”
Teacher Sun said, “None.”
Ou Ying asked, “How difficult is it?”
Teacher Sun said, “Moderate.”
“Moderate is not enough.” Ou Ying handed the test paper to Teacher Sun again and said quietly, “Freshmen will inevitably be nervous when they take the test for the first time. We’ll go back and change it.”
Teacher Sun looked at the test paper again. “Moderate is fine, freshmen are human beings and senior students are also human beings.”
Meaning that lightening the difficulty would not be fair to the seniors.
Ou Ying said, “It’s like this every year for freshmen and every senior student was once a freshman.”
Teacher Sun sighed and circled a few questions on the test paper with a pen: “The second question of this problem…”
Ou Ying listened carefully. Behind her someone took notes.
“Mind you own business.”
Qin Zhou, standing to one side, suddenly spoke.
A few students in the classroom who couldn’t help looking towards them quickly lowered their heads. Lin Yi too followed their lead.
It’s just that he couldn’t focus on reading the contents of the book. Just now, he’d found that Qin Zhou’s face looked a little tired.
The last time he saw Qin Zhou was several nights ago. Qin Zhou came to the dorm to check whether he’d been once again taken over by his sub-personality. He hadn’t contacted Qin Zhou after that and he also hadn’t participated in the 4-4 Rule review meeting. He had no idea how the countermeasure for the Rule was being handled.
Poorly, by Lin Yi’s guess since the student union has yet to update the 4-4 Rule in the campus rulebook.
Also, they’ve only confirmed the two Rules of Death for the 4-4 Rule World despite more having gone active. This made it difficult for the student council to analyze and deal it.
At one of the patrol team’s regular meetings, Lin Yi had heard that Qin Zhou had handed over all his work to Ou Ying, and that he lived and ate in the school archives room.
But now had Qin Zhou appeared here, so…
Did Qin Zhou make discovery about Rule 0-1?
Lin Yi’s heart tightened.
On the podium, the exchange of test papers between the student union and Teacher Sun was now over. Ou Ying asked Teacher Sun for the usual performance scores of his students.
Qin Zhou raised his eyes and looked at Lin Yi. After leaving the 4-4 Rule World, he had made a comprehensive search for all of Yuan Yuan’s information.
Paper documents, electronic files; he checked them all.
He found no more clues from these materials but one thing that Qin Zhou did find was that that the number of views of Yuan Yuan’s forum profile was ‘0’.
This was unreasonable.
Since Senior Lu was following Yuan Yuan’s paper trail, it was impossible he wouldn’t have checked her forum profile. At the very least, the browsing history of Yuan Yuan’s profile couldn’t be zero.,
Unless the browsing history had been deliberately erased.
But Senior Lu is committed to his ‘0-1 Rule’ Theory. He wanted more people to believe in his theory. It was absolutely impossible he would have specifically deleted the browsing history after he looked through Yuan Yuan’s information.
Given all this, the person who deleted the browsing history must be someone else.
There weren’t many people in the entire student union who have the permission to delete browsing records. He was one and several vice presidents too have that permission.
He had checked in with all the vice presidents one by one. Qin Zhou was sure it wasn’t them. They didn’t even know who Yuan Yuan was. Given Qin Zhou’s discerning ability, he knew that they weren’t lying.
The only one left was Lin Yi.
His account had once been given to Lin Yi.
So when Ou Ying reported to him about the exam papers today, Qin Zhou decided to go with them. He wanted to ask Lin Yi if he had mishandled something with his account.
“Lin Yi.” Qin Zhou shouted, “Step outside with me.”
Saying so, Qin Zhou left the classroom first and stood by the door, waiting for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi came out after a while.
“Senior?”
Qin Zhou said, “Patrol members don’t have to take the exam.”
Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. “I’ll take it anyway. It’s nothing to worry about.”
“Yeah.” Qin Zhou asked, “How’s your review going?”
Lin Yi said modestly, “It’s okay.”
Qin Zhou: “And what about that big idiot?”
Lin Yi scratched his head, “Senior, do you mean Cheng Yang Xiong?”
Qin Zhou: “En.”
Lin Yi told the truth, “I have a feeling he’s a bit stuck.” After a pause, Lin Yi asked, “Senior, if Cheng Yang Xiong gets so unlucky that he winds up at the bottom with his grades; if he unfortunately has to be thrown into a Rule World, can I be assigned to lead the mission into the whichever Rule World Cheng Yang Xiong is sent to?”
Qin Zhou said, “I’ll tell Wang Feihang later.”
Lin Yi was grateful. “Thank you, Senior.”
He thought that Qin Zhou had asked him to come out because of this. “Senior, then I’ll be going back in.”
Qin Zhou looked at Lin Yi. “Wait.”
Lin Yi looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Qin Zhou: “Ou Ying gave you my account tot he forum before. Did you…”
He tried his best to tone down the tone of accusation, “Did you use it?”
Lin Yi nodded.
Qin Zhou let go of the pent-up breath in his chest. “Alright. Go back into class.”
Lin Yi was certain that he had deleted all the browsing records but he didn’t know if Qin Zhou would still be able to see the login records so he didn’t dare to deny it.
Judging by Qin Zhou’s question, Lin Yi knew very well that Qin Zhou must have found something. Lin Yi said, “I put in the wrong login and when I found out that it was Senior’s account, I quickly logged out.”
On the day he logged in with Qin Zhou’s account, his own account had also been sent to him. And so the reason for using the account was tenable.
He was also hinting to Qin Zhou that he only used his account by mistake and that he quickly switched accounts after finding out so he’d only been on his account for a very short time. Looks like he’ll have to put aside the matter of what exactly Qin Zhou had found.
In fact, when Qin Zhou asked about the account, Lin Yi already made a note of it in his heart but he let nothing show on his face. “Senior, what’s the matter?”
Qin Zhou looked at him.
After a long time, he said, “It’s nothing, my account has been hacked.”
Lin Yi was momentarily stunned. “Huh?”
Qin Zhou said, “You didn’t touch anything or changed the password, did you?”
Lin Yi hurriedly said, “No, after I found out that it was Senior’s account, I quickly switched accounts. I didn’t touch anything.”
Qin Zhou: “Okay, I got it.”
Thank you for the chapter. Finally made it.
The more you explain the more guilty you are.
Let’s see if qin sees it or love has made him blind 🫶
Thank you for the chapter!~
