I failed a course, and the system became my study supervisor.

Chapter 25 Discussion
"Well, classmates, let's discuss it together." Xu Ling shouted with a stiff upper lip.

Those classmates gave him face and gathered around him immediately.

"Then let's introduce ourselves and tell us what we are good at." Xu Ling continued.

"My name is Xu Ling, I'm a freshman, and I'm good at theoretical proof." Xu Ling introduced himself first.

"I'm Huang Yunfeng, also a freshman, and I'm good at data analysis."

"I'm Ji Yun, a sophomore. I'm quite experienced in doing experiments and have participated in experimental competitions before."

"Um... My name is Liang Xiuyuan. I'm a freshman, but I'm quite experienced in researching literature."

The last student was a girl, but she looked very charismatic.

"Hello everyone! My name is Mu Yuehan, and I'm a sophomore. I have experience in debates."

After everyone introduced themselves, Xu Ling spoke again, but his previous nervousness had gradually subsided:
"Everyone's really showing off their talents. I'm happy to team up with you all. However, I'm still a little unfamiliar with the gameplay of this game. Can anyone explain it to me?"

"Let me explain." Mu Yuehan took over the conversation, "The competition is mainly a team competition. In a team competition, there are three sides: the affirmative side, the negative side, and the commentary side.

The affirmative side will discuss the selected topic, including experimental design, data analysis, theoretical analysis and conclusions.

The opposing side then finds legitimate loopholes to refute and puts forward their own ideas.

The commentators then commented on the arguments of both parties and conducted a question-and-answer session with both parties.

As soon as Mu Yuehan finished speaking, Xu Ling and the other two freshmen were surprised. They didn't expect that this team competition would have so many twists and turns.

"Where does the topic of the competition come from?" Huang Yunfeng asked with some confusion.

"The topic has been officially determined by the competition. It's this year's IYPT topic, which is also the topic used for our school selection."

Mu Yuhan said slowly.

what?
Is it the selection question?
Xu Ling was shocked: "Haven't we already done this? How can we compare?"

"Do you think the competition is easy? You have to do a complete experiment and theoretical analysis on these problems. We select those questions just to see if you have your own ideas."

Mu Yuhan was speechless.

How could this captain be so unreliable? He knows nothing.

"Did the official draw the questions during the competition?" Xu Ling asked.

"Of course not. The topic of the affirmative team's report is self-selected." Mu Yuehan rolled her eyes.

Xu Ling noticed her expression, smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.

Will the affirmative side choose?
Each team has the potential to be a champion, a rival, or a commentator. So, this team competition involves some tactical play.

Xu Ling couldn't help but think.

At this time, Zeng Boyuan clapped his hands and stopped the two groups from discussing.

"I'm very pleased that you've integrated quickly. I believe you've already understood the format of the competition. Now, let me talk about training and promotion."

The students present immediately focused their attention on Zeng Boyuan.

"The provincial competition will be held in June. There will be about ten teams from the entire Magic City participating, including teams like Magic City University of Science and Technology and Magic City Jiaotong University.

Then, only three out of ten teams can enter, and the school hopes that two of those three will be from our school. Come on everyone!

Hearing about so many competitors and the school's requirements, Xu Ling felt a lot of pressure.

The other students also looked solemn.

"As for training, it will primarily be based on your team's independent training. We will organize three intensive training sessions: one to determine the topic, one to present the report, and the final one to simulate a confrontation."

After finishing the instructions, Zeng Boyuan gave time to the two groups again.

"We need to quickly decide on the main topic and focus on it. At the same time, we also need to select some alternative topics to deal with situations where we are the opposing party and the commentator."

Xu Ling said seriously.

"That's right! Let's think about it first, and then discuss it together." Mu Yuehan nodded in agreement. However, each team member had their own strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, and the group discussed for a long time without any preliminary results.

Especially Mu Yuehan, she is extremely strong-willed. Whenever someone raises a question, she will point out the shortcomings of the question without mercy, leaving people speechless.

In the end, Liu Chunlin and Zeng Boyuan announced the end of this discussion, and Xu Ling's group's discussion also came to an end for the time being.

"Junior brother, how do you feel?" Qin Qin asked Xu Ling as they just walked out of the classroom.

"The competition was fun, and the questions were interesting too. But the coordination among the groups was too troublesome. Everyone had their own opinions, and there was no consensus." Xu Ling's tone sounded a little frustrated.

"Don't worry, this is just the beginning, everything is normal. Several of us in the group have participated in it once, and it's not the same."

Qin Qin comforted her caringly.

"Thank you." Xu Ling nodded.

Then, the two came to the cafeteria together. This time, Xu Ling had no objection to sitting and eating with Qin Qin.

Qin Qin was also a little strange. She seemed to become a different person when it came to meal time. She didn't say a word and just ate her meal slowly.

After finishing his meal and saying goodbye to Qin Qin, Xu Ling returned to the dormitory alone.

While walking on the road, Xu Ling suddenly remembered that he might have forgotten something.

Holy shit! Mission!
I haven’t received my reward for the selected mission yet!

Why doesn’t the system give any prompts?

Xu Ling was extremely confused.

Opening the task bar, Xu Ling quickly received the task reward, successfully obtaining 30 motivation points, and the next ring was refreshed immediately.

【Ordinary tasks

No
Glory Mission
(1) Performing Martial Arts to Win the Chip (Second Round): The host is asked to win in the simulated confrontation.

Completion reward: 50 motivation points.

Failure penalty: Subject experience points are cleared.

Rejectable: Yes]

Without hesitation, Xu Ling accepted the task immediately. He still remembered how much benefit the last series of tasks had brought to Xu Ling.

I now have 30 motivation points, I wonder if I can upgrade my physics?

While thinking, Xu Ling opened the character panel he had not seen for a long time.

[Host: Xu Ling
Subject level:

a. Mathematics——lv.1 (20/1000)(+)
b.Physical——lv.0 (60/100)(+)
c. Chemistry——lv.0 (0/100)(+)
d. Biology and Medicine——lv.0 (0/100)(+)
e. Informatics lv.0 (0/100)(+)
f. Engineering lv.0 (0/100)(+)
g. Linguistics lv.0 (0/100)(+)】

After reading the physics experience, Xu Ling fell silent.

It’s only 10 o’clock!

Fortunately, Xu Ling does not have obsessive-compulsive disorder, otherwise he would have been forced to vomit blood by now.

Although he was not in a very good mood, Xu Ling still added 30 motivational points to physics.

The physical experience value has also reached 90.

I hope it can increase to 100 on its own soon.

Xu Ling accepted his fate.

When he returned to the dormitory and opened the door, his roommates no longer asked him where Xu Ling had been like they did before.

They were used to it.
