"Don’t you have any proper intentions! Why don’t you care about honor?" Jiang Nian scratched his head, "Alright, then how much is the honor... busy inside?" He continued to make a money-counting gesture. "Honor is priceless, you don’t understand it yet." Lao Liu thought for a moment, "The prize money for the champion seems to be one thousand five." "Honor is quite important indeed." Jiang Nian said seriously, "Teacher, I am willing to contribute to our class." Lao Liu was bewildered, is this... is this okay? "Alright, it’s good that you have this intention." Lao Liu was about to end the conversation, but Jiang Nian interrupted him again. "Teacher, if we all win the championship, do you have any rewards?" "Teacher, honor." Jiang Nian hinted, "I’m one hundred percent going to win a prize, you can be absolutely certain." Hearing this, Lao Liu relaxed a bit. "The rewards for the teachers leading the team are relatively ordinary, see what you like. There’s a thermos, a month’s meal card, things like that." The campus was silent and dim, like it was covered with a thin layer of sand. Jiang Nian and Li Qingrong walked out side by side from Building D, glancing at the senior year building where the second evening self-study session had already started. "Did Lao Liu talk for that long?" Hearing this, Li Qingrong glanced at him, stopped walking, and asked. "Are you short of money?" "Not really, just participating is all." Jiang Nian turned to Li Qingrong, "No matter who takes the prize, it’s just taking it." Li Qingrong nodded, hmm’ed, and asked again. "If I take it, do you want it?" Jiang Nian was suddenly confused, could the class monitor have some plans for him, wanting to buy out his youth with one thousand yuan? Too greedy, Qingqing. Youth is so precious, you’d have to pay more for that kind of thing. "No need, I was just joking." Jiang Nian explained, "I’m not really in need, it’s almost enough." After returning to the classroom, both returned to their seats. Once seated, Jiang Nian started working on his homework quickly, correcting the test paper to submit for review, and stayed busy until the last evening self-study session. Seeing him put down his pen, Zhang Ningzhi asked. "I heard from Beibei that you’re going to represent our class in the competition?" "What do you mean?" Jiang Nian looked at her. "Nothing much, just congratulations to you." Zhang Ningzhi smiled, her eyes curved like a crescent, "Do your best, okay?" Zhizhi was never stingy with giving praise and had the ability to infuse anything with emotional value. "Thanks for your blessing, I’ll treat you to a scratch card someday." Jiang Nian snapped his fingers, "Let’s test your luck." [Winning] is a skill he has yet to acquire. First, he needs to solve Song Xiyun’s condition, seek help from professionals (doctors), and use [Validation] to decipher. But that doesn’t stop him from making big promises to tease little girls. Actually buying scratch cards? Definitely not. The winning rate is low, and some shopkeepers even calculate the prize money. In other words, the amount you can win is a matter of objective law. No matter how sky-defying the [Winning] skill is, it can’t scratch a big prize from a stack of scratch cards worth at most a hundred bucks. And playing the lottery casually is pure bliss, much better than scratching cards as long as you don’t stubbornly go after big prizes. Not only is the prize money higher, but it’s much safer too. So why not go bigger? Simply because Jiang Nian is too lazy to move; making a big deal out of it would require going to another place to buy lottery tickets, and [Winning] refreshes every five days. If he’s not a professional gambler, it’s more comfortable to catch small fish. "Really?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi’s eyes sparkled, "Humph, I’m always very lucky." Isn’t this... a private date? Actually, it’s, lottery tickets!! Li Hua heard them whispering for quite a while and couldn’t listen any longer. He patted Jiang Nian, looking exasperated. "Bro, scratch cards are guaranteed losses!" Jiang Nian raised an eyebrow, "Master Li, what do you mean?" "I tried it a bit when I was tired of school." Li Hua sighed, "I thought if I hit the jackpot, I wouldn’t have to go to school anymore." "So did you win?" Jiang Nian asked sincerely, extending his hand, "I’m a student, share a bit with me." Li Hua: "...Bro, are you serious?" As class was about to end. Tao Ran suddenly entered from outside the classroom, holding a stack of test cards in his arms, immediately drawing everyone’s attention. They saw him hurriedly walk to the podium with the test cards and slam them down on it with a bang. He looked up, scanning the classroom. "The scores for the Chinese exam are out, they’re all written on the test cards, come help distribute them." In an instant, the previously restless class became boisterous. In Song Dandan’s words, "The scene was filled with drums and firecrackers, flags waving, and a sea of people." At this moment, everyone became nervous. They were in no hurry to leave school, waiting to see the few people distributing the Chinese test cards. Among them, one of the most anxious people was Li Hua. "Chi Shi, Chi Shi, I’m begging you." He buried his head in the Chinese book, hoping to absorb luck by cramming. Besides, Zhang Ningzhi was equally nervous. Her five-subject score was tied with Jiang Nian’s, 514. All total scores and school rankings depended on this Chinese exam. In the face of life and death, there’s great fear. Even the celestial Zhizhi couldn’t help but grip her pants. Her hand slowly tightened, unconsciously biting her lower lip. "Hiss~!" Jiang Nian gasped, turning to Zhang Ningzhi, "Why are you grabbing my leg?" "Oh oh, sorry." Zhizhi’s cheeks reddened, she apologized softly, "I wondered why it didn’t hurt, thinking..." The test cards were distributed just like that, three sheets in one go. Li Hua scored 508. When he received his Chinese test card, he quickly covered the score with his hand, then unveiled it bit by bit like a gambler.
