ADAPTED FROM JINJIANG LITERATURE CITY NOVELS

WRITTEN BY TWENTINE (ZHOU AIHUA)

Did so many people join the base?

I joined it.

You usually copy Zhu Yun's homework.

Why did you join?

So I can copy Li Xun's homework.

So the base is not so good.

Li Xun set up this base

to start a business.

He undertakes projects outside of school.

He also raised funds by himself.

He'll even share the profits

with the school.

Is he already making money?

Is he so capable?

So what?

We go to university to learn.

We can make money at any time.

He will regret it

when he doesn't have enough credits

for a recommendation or a job.

The practice points he gets from one project

are more than what you get from two years as a monitor.

DORMITORY NUMBER 3

Fang Shumiao, what should we eat later?

Where is she?

Okay, you can do your own thing now.

I'll let you know if there is anything else.

The class rep is also here.

Who is that breakfast for?

Did you hand in your homework yet? Don't gossip.

I've had breakfast. Give it to Gao.

Where is Gao?

Gao is angry.

As far as I know,

the department has not approved

the use of the classroom.

It has been approved.

Ms. Zhu,

can you pick up the form for me?

Out of so many classrooms, do you have to share this one?

We're not sharing it.

As noted on the door,

this is our base's classroom.

This is our interest group's classroom.

Yunyun, I…

I haven't joined yet.

I just came here to have a look.

Fang Shumiao.

We're all classmates.

If your interest group hasn't disbanded yet

and doesn't have a place to go,

you can work here.

Thank you.

Ms. Zhu,

why does only Li Xun get food?

-Where's mine? -Shut up.

The interest group has been disbanded.

You can leave.

I forced you to join in the beginning anyway.

That base is indeed more useful

than the interest group.

Gao,

why did you set up the interest group?

No special reasons.

I just want to learn more things.

Then why disband it?

The base can do their thing

and we do our own thing.

Most of our members have joined them.

Even Fang Shumiao has joined.

That's such a huge humiliation.

I can't bear to lose face.

How about we make a bet?

If I make the goal,

we'll stay even if we're the only ones left.

Are you serious?

You were in the top ten in the college entrance exam.

I got 142 points in Math.

How hard can C language be?

We're not worse than others.

So we're not worse than Li Xun.

There's something I heard before.

Coin tossing

isn't letting the coin decide for you.

When you toss it,

you already have an answer in your heart.

I'm staying anyway.

What about you?

FOR DIGITAL PRACTICE BASE'S SPECIAL USE

INTEREST GROUP OF CLASS 1

Those who don't have a form

can get one from me.

Pass them around.

Wait.

I will call out the names.

Liu Sisi.

I'm here.

LIU SISI, BROADCASTER OF THE SCHOOL OF ART

Zhu Liye.

Zhu Liye.

I'm here.

ZHU LIYE, SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM AND COMMUNICATION

-Deng… -Deng…

Deng Tu?

It's Deng Yao. I'm here.

DENG YAO,

SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM AND COMMUNICATION

Sorry.

Deng Yao.

Is this an interview?

Yes, an interview focused on looks.

Zhu Yun.

I keep getting an error. Take a look.

The logic of this line is not right.

-Right? -You're right--

Delivery!

Whose milk tea is this?

Mine.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Li Xun, I ordered hot milk tea for you.

Make sure to drink it.

-Okay. -Hi. Who ordered a burger meal?

Me.

Thank you.

I ordered a burger set meal for you.

Enjoy it warm.

-Hello. Who ordered hot pot? -Here.

Your base has seriously affected our interest group.

Who affected you?

This classroom is for our base.

Are you angry at them?

Can you talk nicely?

Don't change the subject.

Ms. Zhu.

Yes, talk nicely.

Don't be angry.

Who isn't talking nicely?

Never mind. Forget it.

Hello, my dears.

I would like to share with you

an electric toothbrush I've been using.

It has two colors, for him and her.

One is marble white

and the other is marble black.

If you want a confident smile,

take care of your teeth like you do your skin.

This electric toothbrush with marble colors…

When did this pimple show up?

Share it with the one you like.

How annoying.

You're back.

Your new electric toothbrush came.

Open it and show us.

Yunyun.

Look.

Isn't this a nice toothbrush?

It does look nice.

Yunyun, you have no idea.

I can't stand it in our classroom.

Those girls are really pretentious.

Li Xun sniffled a bit

and I saw a girl immediately go on Taobao to buy an electric heater for him.

The classroom is so noisy.

How can we focus on our projects?

Obviously, those girls have other motives.

But Li Xun just lets them.

It's so annoying.

Then you can quit.

Yunyun, you have no idea

how unreasonable our school's student union is.

Each member can only gain 20 points

in one semester no matter how much they do.

I just want to appear more frequently

before the faculty so I can get a recommendation,

or else I wouldn't go there.

What a hardship on you.

I'm suddenly hungry.

How about we go have a barbecue?

How about Dadongbei?

I'm not going. I have excessive internal heat.

Those girls in the base have fair skin.

I have a pimple on my face.

You need some real skills to be a beauty.

It makes sense.

I'll have some papaya.

Did you ever learn biology?

The well-fed don't know how the starved suffer.

Sincerity is the key to success.

Ren Di is also here.

Hello.

I have something to show you.

Get a chair.

-Is this seat taken? -Yes.

-Gao is sitting here. -Just get it.

Li Xun.

Isn't this too much?

Who are you to look down on us?

It's just a base.

Forget it, Gao.

Sit down!

You'd better dismiss your group.

What did you say?

If you think you can learn to program

by reading a book about C language,

you had better give up.

You just did well in the college entrance exam.

I'm not worse than you.

I was only five places behind you.

You have no right to look down on me.

Is being sixth in the province

all you have to brag about?

The college entrance exam is a watershed moment.

From the moment it is over,

the things we can succeed at just by being studious

begin to diminish.

If you really are smart,

throw away the textbook

and join my base.

I will teach you from now on.

Do you dare make a bet?

The midterm exam is in two weeks.

Let's compete.

If Gao and I get better C language scores than you,

your practice base must be incorporated into our interest group

and you'll listen to us.

What if you lose?

We will disband the interest group

and leave the classroom to you.

Zhu Yun.

Are you playing house?

You're still betting on grades at our age?

Okay.

I accept it.

Okay.

Let's have a thorough competition.

It's boring to compete in C language alone.

Let's do a comprehensive ranking.

Include all our other courses.

Gao, Li Xun was the college entrance exam's top scorer.

As he said,

the college entrance exam is just a watershed.

And PE class.

Okay.

I'll play this game with you.

Zhu Yun,

in this case,

we're taking Li Xun's side.

Fang Shumiao,

I…

Miaomiao, I heard that

Zhu Yun and Li Xun had a fight.

Are they really competing?

You're so gossipy.

Exams are coming up.

You should focus on your studies.

She is really brave

to challenge the top scorer.

Does love really beget hate?

Is that why?

Two people falling out and becoming enemies is common.

So many people end up with paranoia.

Zhu Yun.

You're here.

Are you done talking?

Yes.

Next time, you can just ask me directly.

As far as I know,

there are about eight types of paranoia.

There aren't many cases of love turning into hate,

but a lot of people have delusions.

I'll let you talk. I have to go. Bye.

Do you know what PE class Li Xun signed up for?

I think it was dancesport.

What is that?

Ballroom dancing.

Last year, our school's dancesport team

participated in the national youth competition.

They're quite good.

I think Li Xun chose this course

for easy credit.

He probably can't dance.

Even if he's the top scorer or a genius,

I don't believe he can dance.

Can you imagine

how he looks when he dances

wearing hip-hugging tights?

I can't imagine that.

I believe I can beat him in the PE course.

Students, gather around.

Before class begins, I want to tell you

we have the midterm exam in our next class.

Your midterm score accounts for 30% of your final grade.

Do not take this lightly.

-30%? -What?

Enough. Stop complaining.

You need to take the exam either way.

I have sent the video to your monitor.

Go back and practice more.

Otherwise, I will fail you.

Don't complain to me if you fail.

I will make my counterattack.

It's time for the library to close.

Please gather your things

and return to the dorms in an orderly fashion.

Let's go.

You go first.

We need to hurry up,

or there will be no more hot water.

Girls, the library is closing.

Please pack up.

You go back first.

What do you want to do?

You can continue studying at the dorm.

If I lose Internet access,

I won't be able to check my code.

You can continue it tomorrow.

No, Gao and I have been stuck for days.

I'm heading to the interest group.

I have to finish it tonight.

The mobile classrooms will be used

as exam rooms tomorrow.

They won't be open tonight.

Cover for me in case of a room inspection.

Where are you going?

Did you install this lock?

Do you take this as a free study room?

You came here without informing me.

It's a special circumstance today.

Many classrooms are closed for tomorrow's exams.

I'll use this place temporarily.

Besides,

this roof doesn't belong to you.

Old Lin approved the base.

Is this place for special use too?

Close the door.

I'll take that as a welcome.

Before you officially lose,

you can study at the base.

I have asked the others to leave.

Did you find your conscience?

No longer resorting to dirty tricks?

The competition hasn't started yet.

You're finding excuses already?

You need to know

that you will lose

only because you are worse than me.

We don't know who will lose in the end.

And competition is only a means.

We keep what we learn.

You think I'm being fake again.

Are you giving yourself a mental pep talk?

I am giving you advice.

I'm afraid that you will take it too hard

after you lose to me

as a famous top scorer.

STARTING WINDOWS

What's the model of your computer?

It starts up quite fast.

Master,

how do you find a bug?

Be specific.

Just talk about it in a broad sense.

Did you do black-box testing?

I did boundary value testing.

Try all testing methods one by one

and you will find it.

In that case, I will need to stay up for several nights.

Logic.

What logic?

You like writing short codes.

Sometimes, the pursuit of concision

can actually affect the logic.

Check it again.

I found it!

How do you know I like writing short codes?

Because you're boring.

Good students are mindless.

You take textbooks as golden rules.

XUESI BUILDING

NANHU UNIVERSITY AT 5 A.M., HELLO!

TODAY

NANHU UNIVERSITY AT 5 A.M., HELLO!

"Nanhu University at 5 a.m.,

hello."

So melodramatic.

Can't you say something nice?

I don't care.

I think it's a happy thing to work hard

towards a goal.

I'm going.

Are you going?

Lock up.

What's this?

So I can come here freely in the future?

MIDTERM EXAM

MIDTERM EXAM

Did he get cold feet?

The fill-in-the-blank questions

are on your computer.

You can answer directly there.

I will write the last programming question

on the blackboard.

Have a look.

"Write a program to draw a heart."

It's so easy.

I didn't need to pull so many all-nighters.

You can start.

Why is his code so long?

ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO SUBMIT YOUR TEST?

YES

SUBMITTED SUCCESSFULLY

We have the results.

Pass it out, Ms. Zhu.

What's your score?

100 points.

100 points.

Give it back to me.

LI XUN, 100, ZHU YUN, 100

Good. Your studying paid off.

Do you regret competing with me?

I have something to say.

I'll spend today answering questions.

This is your first time programming.

You can communicate with each other

and listen to others' thought processes.

You can ask me

if you encounter any problems.

But I have to remind you

to keep your voices down.

Although you can communicate,

you can't be too noisy in class.

Master, please look at my code.

This is what I think of.

Did you fail Advanced Mathematics?

No.

It looks like you never learned it.

Show me yours.

You may not be able to understand it.

Look at the class rep's code.

That's so concise.

I used two for-loops.

A function can be used.

I didn't think of this.

Thank you.

It's normal. I'm like that sometimes too.

Just get familiar with it.

You think I'm being fake again.

You have good ears.

Show me yours.

Don't attempt to understand it.

You might get depressed.

You did a great job.

-Okay, class is over. -Thank you, Mr. Lin.

Bye.

Me?

I didn't get 100 points.

INTEGRATED COMPUTER LAB

ERROR

ERROR

ERROR

Have you figured it out?

DO YOU WANT TO RUN THIS CODE?

DO YOU WANT TO RUN THIS CODE?

I see.

Goodness.

I'm no match for him.

There is actually something that I didn't tell you

as it might shake your confidence.

Li Xun is at the base every day,

but he never studies.

He always worked on his side gig.

Comparisons are odious.

A curve wrecker gets 100 points

because the full score is 100 points only.

This is the gap between you and the curve wrecker,

no, the academic prodigy.

Zhu Yun,

let's disband the interest group.

-But-- -It was actually Li Xun

who cracked your virus.

Wu Mengxing came to ask me one day

how to compile a worm virus.

That's when I realized where to start.

Li Xun must have told Wu Mengxing

to ask me on purpose.

Otherwise, I would've never been able

to figure it out.

Li Xun must know we couldn't crack it,

so he sent Wu Mengxing to give us a clue.

He really is in a different league.

He gives alms to you when he wants

and destroys you when he wants.

And you have no say about it.

It sounds like this cold master has compassion

for a certain girl.

Don't pull a long face.

We didn't lose in this competition.

This is…

This is not an acquisition, but a merger.

Well, let's drink

to celebrate our interest group's official disbanding.

It is never too late to mend.

Dignity is nothing important

compared to the future.

-Cheers. -You're right.

I don't drink.

Zhu Yun,

when will you have an adult drink?

Fang Shumiao, you're a traitor.

You're one to talk.

You joined the base.

You normally seem righteous,

but you were the first one to betray us.

Exactly.

We'll be on the same team in the future.

Can both of you join the base?

To become better,

we should be around those who are better than us.

I'm in.

I haven't made up my mind.

What do you want to do?

In fact, I envy you guys.

You know what you want.

Miaomiao wants a postgraduate recommendation.

Gao wants to study abroad.

But my mom made every decision for me,

including choosing this major

and being the class rep.

I even considered switching majors.

You were full of fight when you made a bet

with Li Xun.

There is endless joy in fighting with others.

But I still don't know

if I like programming or not.

You are just slow.

Some time ago,

you were like a bulldog eager to fight.

You were enjoying it.

Don't think too much.

By the way,

there is still the PE test.

What?

Do you want to turn the tables?

We lost,

but I need to let him know

we didn't lose in the exams.

An attempt to save your dignity.

I want to do it just in case.

He's so impressive.

What if he hacks the school's system and changes the grades?

You're right.

He could do that.

Why didn't I think of this?

Can I ask him to change mine?

You are such an excellent class cadre.

You are such an excellent monitor.

Good. Next group, Chen Ting and Li Mao.

Like I said, he will not come.

Has everyone taken the test?

Li Xun.

Li Xun from Applied Technology Class 1,

are you here?

Okay, class is over.

Sorry, miss.

Are you Li Xun?

-Yes. -Are you here for the test?

You never attended class. Forget the test.

Retake the course next year.

Please take a look at this.

DOCTOR'S NOTE

DUE TO LUMBAR SPONDYLOLISTHESIS…

You have a doctor's note.

Miss.

I had a spinal injury.

Okay, you are all dismissed.

How could he pass?

Ms. Zhu, do you care so much about me?

You even came to supervise.

I was afraid you would back out.

You wanted to see me fail.

Where did you get the doctor's note?

You fooled the teacher with it.

Did you see me forge it?

I never heard

that you were too ill for dance class.

There is a lot you don't know.

Are you really ill?

What is it? Is it serious?

You are sick.

What?

About the competition,

I've talked with Gao.

We will disband the interest group.

That classroom is yours.

Why?

No reason. We lost interest.

You finally know your limitations.

Not really.

You didn't defeat us in the competition.

We're considering the bigger picture

and choosing peace.

INTEREST GROUP OF CLASS 1

Hello.

Li Xun.

You can use this classroom.

We didn't lose this time.

It was a draw.

Anything else?

Can I join the base?

Forget I said anything.

Did you use a binary search algorithm

to draw the heart?

Did you look at my program?

To be honest,

it's quite difficult for the base

to find someone capable.

Read it all tonight.

Thank you.

SPECIALIZED CLASSROOM FOR THE DIGITAL PRACTICE BASE

Wait.

How many are there?

Ren Di.

You're shopping?

You rarely have free time.

It's the weekend

and I don't have to go to the base.

Are you shopping as well? Care to join me?

I'm waiting for someone.

Hey.

Everyone.

Look over here.

I have an announcement.

This is the princess I invited.

Exploiter Li.

He's exploiting labor

before becoming a capitalist.

It's vulgar.

Say that again.

-You misunderstood. -Say it again.

-You misunderstood. -Say it.
