Where's the cute girl we were promised? She's completely wiped out S-rank dungeons!

"Wow..."

An Xiaomei clapped silently: "Great job!"

Song Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Tonight's trip hadn't been in vain for them: "Okay, let's go take a look at the administration building then."

Qiao Ran tossed her hair and waved her hand modestly, saying:

"It's just so-so~ But I remember that students aren't allowed to go into the administration building unless there are special circumstances."

Moreover, the security there is very tight, and sneaking in is definitely not as easy as sneaking out of the dormitory building as it is for us.

"Friend, may I ask how you knew there were clues in the administration building?"

When the three of them were interacting, Xu Tai'an sat between Song Yuan and An Xiaomei, looking somewhat dazed.

She has lost her friends and her normal social skills for a long time.

Seeing the other three chatting so casually and relaxedly, just like in the real world, she felt a little envious and her feelings were complicated.

It wasn't until Qiao Ran called her several times that she finally reacted and explained:

"Oh... because my ability allows me to snipe enemies from a distance, I always try to go as high as possible after entering the dungeon. Most of the time, as long as I'm outdoors, I can see all the players' movements clearly."

When I was in a higher-level office, I searched the head of the grade's office. There was a notice on his desk saying that all students would be taking a surprise exam the next day.

Students who rank in the top 100 of their grade can go into the administration building to receive their awards; then they can have dinner in the teachers' cafeteria on the fifth floor of the administration building, and return to their classrooms after dinner.

I think this notice is hinting at something. There might be some kind of clue hidden in the administration building, but I haven't thought of the power distribution room yet, so thank you for the information.

Song Yuan calmly replied, "There's no need to be so polite; it's just an exchange of information."

Qiao Ran stroked her chin and agreed, "Yes. That's good. If that's the case, then getting into the top 100 in the grade means you can legitimately enter the administration building. Did the notice mention the specific time of the exam?"

Xu Tai'an: "Hmm... I remember it started with morning reading at 7:10 and lasted until 5:00 in the afternoon."

"Exams..."

An Xiaomei felt heartbroken upon hearing those two words:

"But this school has over ten thousand students in total, and our senior year alone has over six thousand. How is it possible to get into the top one hundred in the grade among so many people? Um... actually, my grades in high school weren't very good..."

Qiao Ran asked curiously, "Really? What were your scores on the college entrance exam?"

Song Yuan glanced at him, puzzled, and asked, "Did all three of you go to high school?"

The other three fell silent. An Xiaomei and Xu Tai'an hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Qiao Ran's eyes widened, and she slowly raised one hand to cover her mouth. Her gaze towards Song Yuan was filled with sympathy and pity as she tentatively asked:

"You didn't go to high school?"

"...I didn't even go to kindergarten." Song Yuan said expressionlessly, "Is not having gone to school something to be pitied for? Why are you all making that face?"

Xu Tai'an straightened his hair sheepishly: "I... I just thought that under normal circumstances, everyone would go to school, right? After all, compulsory education is being done quite well these days..."

An Xiaomei had the same reason; her eyes were already red, but seeing Song Yuan's indifferent expression, she wiped away her tears and nodded.

"Yes, yes, that's what I was thinking too."

After Qiao Ran confirmed that Song Yuan's lack of education wasn't a psychological trauma, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well... I personally think that as long as you can live the life you like, whether you've been to school or not isn't such a big deal."

However, if you haven't attended high school, you might have some difficulty during the exam.

Actually, high school material isn't difficult. How about I give you a crash course tomorrow morning?

An Xiaomei was stunned: "...Huh? Isn't high school knowledge difficult?"

"It's too late to start learning now."

Song Yuan's gaze swept over the other three faces, finally settling on Qiao Ran:

"How many points did you get on the college entrance exam? I think your score shouldn't be bad. Just find a way to send us the answers later."

The three of them: "..."

No, this person was far too calm and too open when they proposed cheating on the exam!

Qiao Ran coughed twice: "Ahem... Well, my grades are actually pretty good."

He modestly gave a number. Upon hearing the three-digit number starting with seven, An Xiaomei immediately lost her composure:

"No way, you scored over 700 on the college entrance exam?!"

She attended high school in a small county town and scored just over 500 points on the college entrance exam, getting into a decent university. A student of Qiao Ran's caliber was practically a legend in their area.

Qiao Ran didn't think it was a big deal:

"It's nothing, studying isn't difficult for me. Don't let my appearance fool you, I actually work in engineering."

An Xiaomei's eyes widened in shock, and even Song Yuan showed a hint of surprise:

Is Qiao Ran involved in engineering?

Song Yuan wasn't questioning Qiao Ran's abilities, but the fact that this guy was doing such a serious job in real life really showed that appearances can be deceiving.

They had initially assumed that Qiao Ran, with his appearance, must be an actor or internet celebrity in real life. No wonder they'd never seen him on TV; so that was the truth!

Seeing their reactions, Qiao Ran exclaimed, "...Seriously? What kind of expressions are those?! What kind of person do you guys think I am?! Don't misunderstand me so much, friends!"

Besides Qiao Ran, Xu Tai'an also achieved excellent results in the college entrance examination. His score of 673 placed him among the top students in the school.

However, Hsu Tai-an said that was five years ago; the knowledge taught in high school is no longer as proficient after four years of university.

But Qiao Ran was different. After spending several days together and asking Qiao Ran himself, Song Yuan learned that he had an extraordinary memory. Perhaps it was compensation for his congenital heart disease, but Qiao Ran basically never forgot anything he had seen or learned, and when she had him by her side, she could use him as a database.

With such a strong memory, Qiao Ran's score on the college entrance exam will remain the same as it was on the exam the next day; it won't decline over time.

So in the end, everyone unanimously decided to copy Qiao Ran's answer.

Xu Tai'an possesses the item "Silent One's Communicator," which, along with "Invisibility Potion"—also kindly provided by Xu Tai'an—allows for invisibility. He stores it in his system inventory upon entering the classroom and simply takes it out and puts it on when the exam begins.
