High school students set up for Halloween Party where trick or treats happen..

Ting searched for a few minutes until he found an assignment that caught his attention. The assignment was to hack into some schools' grading program to change a students score.

Ting thought if he could have hacked into his universities grading system that their professors used then he could have easily had average grades. Then he wouldn't have had been expelled from the university.

"Heh, I should have thought of this. But, to do so I would have had to pay quite a hefty sum." Ting reminisced about his expelling from Everlasting University. Ting accepted the assignment without a second thought. On the screen, it displayed some more in-depth information.

***
Assignment - Change Students Grades
Information: Zhao Tai needs his grades boosted to above average. His high school is called Tung Tang high school.
Status - Ongoing
Category - Personal
Reward: 250USD

"First, I need to infiltrate and gain access to their school grading program. To do so I would need a teacher's account. If not then I can try to infiltrate without it and try to get administrator rights." Ting thought of a way to complete his task.

When he finally decided which option took the lest effort and was faster to complete. He chose to just gain access to this students' teachers' account for the grading program. However since the assignments information didn't have their teachers' name included, he decided to gain access to a teachers' account from his clients' school.

"After I complete this assignment, I should get some food." Ting thought as he didn't have breakfast yet. Ting wanted to finish so that he could get some breakfast. 

Ting quickly went to Tung Tangs High schools website. From the website, he saw a recent photograph posted on their front page. The picture had a teacher or an adult with some students doing a lab experiment. Apparently, they were trying to advertise their science department as better than other schools.

However, for Ting, this was a perfect opportunity. He quickly found the teachers name in the caption under the photo. He then found his school email because there was a contact us information in the captions to get more information about their science department.

He quickly sent the email with an attachment. Basically, he sent a Trojan horse. The email was as follows.

***
 Name: Quick! Theses nudes photos were just leaked!!!!!!
- Photos attached.
***

And no there isn't any nudes photos of anyone. It just attached a photo which if he clicks will create a backdoor on the computer he downloaded it from. He pressed the send button and before he went to buy some food. He went to an ATM to convert the USD into yuan. After he had converted he quickly went to BurgerQueen.

The reason why he left his home was that he had to wait to see if the teacher downloads it. If he does he can quickly access their computer and use the schools grading program and change his clients' grades.

-

Meanwhile, Guan Duan, a science teacher was eating his breakfast inside his classroom. He usually always buy some burgers from WacDonalds and heads to school early so he can prepare his lesson plans.

While eating his WacDonalds burger, he was creating a slideshow to show his students next week in class. He heard the notification sound meaning that he received an email. He switched tabs to his email and saw a new email sent to him named <Quick! Theses nudes photos were just leaked!!!!!!>. Guan Duan silently gulped, he turned his head towards his class.

His desk was at the front of the class meaning when students walk in and look right it's at the front. Therefore after confirming there was no one watching what he was doing he clicked on the email and started to download the photo. After a few minutes, the photo was finally downloaded. When the photo downloaded and was displayed on the screen Guan Duan was scared so badly that it made him jump and scream.

What he saw, of course, popped up instantly when the photo finished the download and therefore he wasn't ready to view it. The photo was of a ghoul-like-face with hollow eyes and dark background. With bits of blood in its mouth.

After he calmed down he thought that whoever sent the email was a cruel, cruel person. However he wouldn't think it came from an expelled university student, otherwise, he would go and find him and slap him for scaring him.

He quickly deleted the photo and continued working on his slideshow. However, he never thought that what he downloaded was a Trojan horse and that it installed a backdoor on his computer so whenever Ting enters this backdoor he will have full control of his computer.

However, if deleting the virus was that easy then think again. Once he downloaded the photo his computer is already vulnerable. That is the reason why to never download things like torrents because if you don't download anything besides the trusted programs then good luck to the people trying to steal your information.

***

When Ting came back home he was greeted by the receptionist. "How was breakfast?" Yao Chen asked with a smile on her face.

"It was great, had a nice burger. Now I'm pretty much full." Ting replied happily as he patted his belly.

"You should cut back on the junk food. There are too many carbs, and you'll turn into a pig." Yao Chen told Ting out of kindness.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. By the way, if you need any help with fixing computers you can come to me. I'll fix it for free." Ting offered because he knew her very well since he had started to live here. 

"Oh. You can fix computers? That's great I just so happened to have a computer that hasn't been working for a few weeks."Yao replied. "I didn't have the time to get it looked at since I sit here all day. And since when did you learn how to fix computers?"

Ting didn't know what to say so he made it up. "Recently, I self-taught myself over the weekend. I didn't have much to do since I got expelled so I decided to fix computers as a hobby." It was not false but it wasn't true either. Since he did somewhat learn by himself. And with help from the system, he got more practical experience.

"Oh. That's great, it's nice to have something to do when you got so much free time." Yao complimented.

"All right, I need to head back and work on something. See you later." Ting said his goodbyes and he left and headed up the stairs still creating a sound with every footstep and echoing through the larger empty stairwell.

When Ting turned his computer on and checked if the teacher downloaded it or not. It left him smiling when he found that there was another computer he could access remotely from a backdoor installed on the teachers' computer.

He quickly typed in some code and entered through the backdoor that was installed. When he saw the slideshow and the mouse cursor moving he instantly knew that he was still using the computer. He stealthily typed in some code on his computer and turned the teachers' camera on and saw his face.

The teacher had blonde hair, with a few wrinkles on his forehead. He already knew what he looked like from the photograph on the schools' website but, he felt that he needed to know when the teacher leaves his computer. So he could quickly open the grading program and hack so that he gives himself admin so he could access all the classes and change them.

He knew that it was still early in the morning and classes start later so all he needed to do as to wait until he teaches and quickly changes his clients' grades.

"All right it's time to play the waiting game," Ting said out loud as he began to do some light exercises like some seats and jumping jacks and push-ups.

-

After an hour and so, the students finally entered the room and greeted the teacher as they head to their seats. Ting knew his chance was coming. He almost couldn't wait any longer. Then after all the students sat down and took out their binders and pencil cases. Guan Duan finally stood up and welcomed everyone and showed them what he would be teaching today.


While he was talking and teaching the students he would have never thought that his computer would be completely hijacked and used to change some students grades. If he found out he would most likely quickly shut down his computer and almost never use it again until he removes the Trojan horse or virus that was on his computer.

The reason was that if the school found out he would most likely lose his job for helping a student raise their mark with them earning it. His reputation would be at an all-time low and he would be despised by his fellow colleagues.

Ting quickly searched for the grading program and typed away trying to trick the program into thinking he was an administrator. After a few minutes of typing code, he gained admin privileges.

Of course, he would be getting rid of his traces after he completed the task and remove the admin rights. After he searched for his clients' name. He found his grades and quickly changed them from a 65 % to 83%.

After doing so he confirmed his changes and exited the program after revoking his admin rights and removing all traces of he ever been there. Then he set the computer of how it looked when the teacher left it and left the computer.

After making sure he didn't forget anything, he went the HackersHaven website and marked his assignment as completed.

I’m just a new writer please give help correct my grammar and mistakes. Thanks!

Lu Zhou didn't want to waste a lot of time on business. After all, his energy was limited.
Thankfully, Chen Yushan was here to help him, so he didn't have to worry too much.
To be honest, Lu Zhou felt like asking her to come here and become CEO was undervaluing her.
After all, she was a top student from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Besides, her father was a high ranking government official in Beijing. With her background, she could easily become a CEO of a top 100 company.
Therefore, Lu Zhou agreed to most of her proposals regarding the expansion of Star Sky Technology.
After all, like she said, it would be foolish to let so much money just sit in his bank account. Money had to be invested for it to create more value. Letting it sit in a bank account would only depreciate the money.
Her eloquent speech reminded Lu Zhou of his little sister, Xiao Tong, who was studying finance in the UK.
Hopefully, when Xiao Tong graduates, she can also become as excellent as her…
The next morning.
Like usual, Lu Zhou walked into his office.
When he opened the door, he heard an excited voice.
"Professor!"
Feng Jin stood up from his desk while blushing. Lu Zhou curiously asked, "What's up?"
"I…" Feng Jin's cheeks were bright red. It was almost like he was on drugs as he excitedly said, "I passed!"
Lu Zhou and everyone else in the office were a little shocked by his loud voice.
The three mathematics master's students looked jealous, but everyone else just smiled at him and continued on with their work.
Lu Zhou could relate to his feelings.
After all, when he first submitted to SCI, he was so excited he couldn't fall asleep.
But after he submitted to Annual Mathematics, it was a lot less exciting.
"Okay, not bad." Lu Zhou patted his shoulder and said, "Keep working hard, this is only the beginning. I hope you can publish in the big four journals."
"Okay!" Feng Jin nodded and excitedly said, "I'll try my best!"
After Feng Jin's thesis passed the review, Lu Zhou could finally receive his mission rewards.
According to the system, the cumulative impact factor was 36, which was equivalent to 36,000 experience points and 360 general points. Both of his classes were given an S rating, which gave him 200,000 experience points and one lucky draw ticket.
Lu Zhou was very curious about how his classes were evaluated and why the system didn't wait until after the exam to evaluate him. However, he carefully thought about it and realized that it made sense.
After all, he was the one who wrote and marked the exam. If the system evaluated his classes based on the students' exam marks, it would be a little unfair.
Lunch break.
Lu Zhou lay unconscious on his chair; his consciousness was in the system space. 
He stared at his characteristic panel for a while and contemplated it for a bit. He assigned the 236,000 experience to biochemistry.
[
A. Mathematics: Level 8 (444,000/3 million)
B. Physics: Level 6 (283,215/600,000)
C. Biochemistry: Level 4 (110,000/300,000)
D. Engineering: Level 5 (0/300,000)
E. Materials science: level 6 (13,000/600,000)
F. Energy science: Level 3 (0/100,000)
G. Information science: Level 2 (3,000/50,000)
General points: 3835 (Two lucky draw tickets)
]
Biochemistry went from level four to level five. Overall, the rewards were pretty good.
Lu Zhou looked at the two lucky draw tickets and hesitated for a bit. He didn't use them.
First, he had to wash his face for good luck, and second, he still had some other matters to attend to…
…
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Lu Zhou got into Wang Peng's car and went to the airport.
He received an email from Luo Wenxuan yesterday. Luo Wenxuan was flying to Jinling today and asked if Lu Zhou had the time to pick him up.
Luo Wenxuan had helped him many times in Princeton, so Lu Zhou happily agreed.
The car was parked in the airport parking lot.
Lu Zhou got out of the car and waited for a couple of minutes. He soon saw Luo Wenxuan, who was wearing a trench coat, dragging his suitcase out of the airport.
Lu Zhou was standing next to his black sedan. He waved at Luo Wenxuan from a distance and smiled while Luo Wenxuan walked over to him.
"Why did you suddenly decide to come back to China?"
Luo Wenxuan smiled and said, "I didn't just come back, I'm working here permanently. I came back here for the Thousand People Initiative."
Lu Zhou smiled and jokingly said, "You're the all-mighty Witten's pupil, did the FBI not investigate you?"
Luo Wenxuan waved his hand and said, "Why would they investigate a nameless pawn like me? If anything, they should investigate you. Also, the United States Congress couldn't wait for theoretical researchers like me to go back to where I came from." 
Lu Zhou said, "Do you plan on teaching at Jin Ling University?"
"I'll see, I'll stay here for a couple of years." Luo Wenxuan looked at the airport and said, "If I end up liking teaching, I'll stay here. If not, I'll probably go to some research institute."
Luo Wenxuan seemed kind of carefree.
After all, he was Witten's disciple. He had traveled around the world with Witten over the past few years, and he had been to CERN in Europe and Brookhaven in America. He had basically been to all of the major theoretical physics laboratories.
Even though he wasn't an outstanding researcher in Princeton, when it came to the domestic academic scene, he was quite nutty.
After all, the biggest shortcoming of the domestic academic community was the academic exchanges with the international academic community.
Yan University and Shuimu University had always wanted to poach Lu Zhou, not just because of his academic status or his teaching abilities, but mostly because of Lu Zhou's connections with the international academic community.
At the very least, Lu Zhou's connections could let a few students publish in major journals or send a few students for student exchange programs. It could even affect the entire university's status in academia.
These connections often couldn't be bought with money.
Why did Shuimu buy two cryogenic electron microscopes from a Princeton biology professor?
Other than the fact that they wanted a Nobel Prize, they also wanted to make connections.
Lu Zhou: "I personally think that research work and teaching doesn't have to be mutually exclusive."
Luo Wenxuan made a helpless gesture and said, "Okay then, it seems like you're a supporter of the Fermi model."
"Not really." Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's just my personal experience… Oh yeah."
Luo Wenxuan: "What?"
Lu Zhou thought for a second and said, "Do you want to come work at my Institute for Advanced Study?"


After suffering from a heat stroke while working under the scorching heat of summer, Lu Zhou, a hardworking but poor university student, somehow becomes the owner of an advanced technological system. With the cheat given by the system, his university life changes overnight. 
  
A Master's degree? Easy. 
  
PhD? Not a problem.   
  
From a nobody, he quickly becomes a huge celebrity in the world of science. With the missions given by the system, he is on his way to winning a Nobel Prize.   

"System, can points be exchanged for money?"
  
"No."
  
"F**k, what use are you then!?"
  
"This system will make you the ultimate scholar, the kind that lords over all of humanity. What use will money be to you?"

OCTOBER 2012
.

Andrea had never been abroad before. This was the second time he had set foot in the airport. Today, he had to fly to Singapore for a job interview at an international IT company. The airport had changed quite a lot now compared to when he first came here.

He still remembered the event three years ago. He was not sure about Adeline's flight schedule. He only knew that she would fly to London that evening. Andrea had checked all reasonable flight schedules and decided to arrive early.

He waited in front of the entrance, looking intently at everyone who came, hoping to meet Adeline and convince her to give him a second chance.

Adeline was his first girlfriend, the only girl he had ever loved. They met at school at the time of the freshmen admission ceremony and immediately fell in love at first sight. It sounded crazy, but that was what happened.

Andrea remembered the morning sun sweeping over the girl's childish face transformed into a halo that fascinated him for a moment. The two of them were still wearing junior high school uniforms and were lined up in the school courtyard to receive guidance from their seniors about the extracurricular and club activities.

Adeline smiled shyly when she was appointed as the representative of female freshmen to symbolically received the high school uniforms. Meanwhile, Andrea was asked to represent the male freshmen. People were excited and immediately cheered when they climbed to the podium because the freshmen representatives were both so good looking.

They soon became famous in school. When the class was decided, it turned out Adeline and Andrea entered the same class. Because they were already acquainted at the admission ceremony, the two quickly became buddies and sat together for the next three years.

Adeline was very smart, but she didn't like science, the opposite of Andrea, who hated social studies but was always the smartest one in science. Both complemented and helped each other in their studies. For three consecutive years, they always became the top students in school.

So many people shipped them, but Andrea and Adeline were never officially dating in high school because they were both raised by their parents to prioritize school. They were not allowed to date while they were still in high school.

"Then, after you graduate from high school, can you date?" Hanny asked Adeline during recess. 

Adeline glanced at Andrea and chuckled, "I can date once I graduate from high school. But I don't know about him."

Andrea's face flushed red as he nodded slowly. His life revolved around Adeline, and he wanted to quickly graduate from high school so he could formalize their relationship.

When high school graduation came, he felt very happy. He brought his mother to meet Adeline and her family. They were both valedictorians in their school and were already accepted at the best university in their country. Adeline was accepted in the Psychology department and Andrea in Computer Science.

He still remembered how Adeline's parents welcomed him warmly at the school graduation ceremony. They were amazed at his intelligence. But her parents' expression seemed to change immediately when Adeline clasped Andrea's hand lovingly and invited him to take a group photo together.

That's when they realized, that the relationship between their daughter and the young man was not simple. These two were not merely best friends.

Andrea could not forget the look of disappointment in Adeline's parents' eyes at the time. They were from a highly respected family that controlled the palm oil industry in the country, and Adeline was their only child. They considered Andrea, who came from a humble background and never knew his father, unworthy of their daughter.

Finally, Andrea and Adeline dated secretly after they started studying at university. There was still a huge gap between the rich and the poor in their country. Andrea came to campus by bus, and Adeline was driven by her family chauffeur in a Mercedes.

"After we graduate, we must move from this country. In Europe, everyone, whether they are rich or poor, travels by bus or subway everywhere, because cars only create traffic jams." Adeline told him one day.

She deliberately said that because she had just heard rumors on campus that Andrea was dating her because she was rich and had her own car. People could be mean to people they don't know by spreading rumors.

Andrea had had enough gossip in his life. Ever since he was young, he had faced various unpleasant rumors and remarks from people around him. He was born without a father who left his mother as soon as the jerk found out about the pregnancy. 

His birth certificate only listed his mother's name, clearly stating his status as an illegitimate child. People who didn't like him often brought up the fact that Andrea was a bastard because that's the only weakness they could get from the otherwise perfect guy.

As an intelligent student who was loved by teachers, Andrea was often hated by other students who liked to insult him. It became worse when he managed to get Adeline's love in high school. Male students who had a crush on Adeline hated him even more, and they always looked for ways to bring him down.

Andrea had almost no friends. Only Adeline was always by his side, no matter how hard her parents opposed to their relationship.

"Andre ... let's elope ..." Adeline said suddenly as she was chopping scallions and onions in Andrea's kitchen. Andrea's mother was working out of town, and that afternoon, Adeline came to help Andrea cook dinner. She often came to the man's house and had considered it as her own home. Usually, they would cook together and watch movies on DVD while chatting about anything. "If we are married, my parents cannot arrange for me to marry someone else."

At that time, they were already in the third year of university. Only one year before graduation. Adeline's parents had started to give her hints that they would arrange her marriage to the son of their business partner. Adeline was told to meet with the man several times so they could get to know each other. Adeline started to worry.

"We can't marry in this country because we have different faiths," Andrea answered quietly. It's true. In Indonesia, people could only marry someone who shares their faith/religion. The only way for interfaith couples to get married is if one of them converts or they get married abroad.

"Well, we can get married in Singapore ... I've checked the requirements. We only need to register for our marriage and stay in Singapore for two weeks. I can find our witnesses from my friends who live in Singapore."

Andrea looked at Adeline intently. His whole life revolved around this girl since they were sixteen years old, and he could not imagine life without her. If Adeline married someone else, he wouldn't know whether he could continue living.

Andrea was a filial son and he did not dare to oppose Adeline's parents, but right now, asking for their blessings was impossible.

"You have thought of everything, haven't you? In that case, I must get a passport first," Andrea responded. He smiled a little, "Are you sure?"

"I've never been this sure," replied Adeline in an enthusiastic voice.

"Then I'll get a passport and save money. The cost of staying two weeks in Singapore is very high," said Andrea.

"Okay."

Adeline did not want to hurt Andrea's ego by offering to pay for everything despite her massive savings. She knew that Andrea would appreciate it if she didn't mention money at all and let Andrea try.

Andrea worked part-time at a coffee shop and they made plans to go to Singapore during the holidays after he had enough savings.

"But you have it to do it properly," Adeline said suddenly and pretended to sulk.  "You have to propose."

Adeline cut the scallion in two ring slices and handed them to Andrea. The young man immediately understood what she meant and smiled broadly. He took one ring slice of scallion and got down on one knee before Adeline.

"Adeline Luanne Surya, would you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?"

Adeline smiled broadly, with two drops of tears falling down her cheeks, and nodded, "I do."

Andrea placed the scallion ring to Adeline's pinky finger due to its small size. Adeline then placed the other scallion ring to Andrea's pinky finger, and both laughed in tears. Then, they hugged tightly.

Andrea lifted Adeline's chin and kissed her lips gently. Throughout the seven years of loving each other, he never crossed the line. But tonight, his feelings were filled with overwhelming happiness, and he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with this girl.

Adeline kissed him back lovingly, and all the worries that in their hearts about the future slowly vanished. Andrea and Adeline were only thinking about their secret wedding plans in Singapore in three months. It felt like the universe was pleased with their courage to decide on their fate.

"We must celebrate our engagement!" Adeline took a bottle of red wine from her bag and placed it on the dining table. "I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

That night was the happiest in Andrea's life. They celebrated their love that had grown since they were 16 years old, and in three months they will be married secretly. They no longer cared about what other people say.

Andrea already had a part-time job, and in one year, he would graduate from university and start to build his career. He would be able to raise a family with Adeline.

"Since we are getting married anyway, I'm going to stay overnight," Adeline said after they had dinner and finished the bottle of red wine she brought.

She deliberately brought a bottle of wine that night to give her courage. Adeline knew that just planning to get married secretly was not enough. She had to sleep with Andrea and made sure that they would never be separated again. Then her parents would back down.

She sat on Andrea's lap and caressed his face lovingly.

"Adel ..." Andrea didn't expect Adeline could take the initiative to kiss him.

"Andrea ... your face looks so red ... haha ​​... but you're still handsome as always," Adeline put her hand around Andrea's neck and kissed his lips passionately. "I love you."

Andrea gently kissed Adeline and then carried her to his bedroom. He understood Adeline's plan and he could not imagine life without her by his side.

***

Everything should have gone well according to the plan. Andrea had saved enough money for them to go to Singapore, and he had already got himself a passport.

But ... a week before their departure, Adeline suddenly changed her mind. She avoided Andrea and didn't return his calls and texts. She also stopped coming to campus, until Andrea was forced to go to the Surya family mansion in Menteng, the most expensive residential area in Jakarta, to meet Adeline.

Adeline came out with swollen eyes, and after half an hour of silence, she finally recounted what happened ...

"My mother has cancer ..." Adeline sobbed while trying to wipe her tears. "I can't hurt Mom's heart at a time like this ... I'm sorry, Andrea."

Andrea's world that revolved around Adeline immediately collapsed. He could hardly hear the girl's next words. He only remembered a little, that for the sake of her mother, Adeline was forced to cut ties with him. She was canceling their plans to get married secretly in Singapore, and she would soon go to England to accompany her mother for treatment.

Adeline would continue her studies in England, and they will not meet again.

The day Adeline left for London, was the first time Andrea set foot at the airport. He waited for the girl to enter the airport and tried to see her one last time, or even tried to change her mind ...

Adeline arrived at the airport entrance accompanied by her mother. Since this was the last day, Mrs. Surya relented and let Adeline talk to Andrea before leaving, she entered alone and waited inside.

"Adel ... please, wait for me ... I will become successful and follow you to England," said Andrea between his tears. At first, he wanted to persuade Adeline not to go, but at the last moment, he knew his place.

As a good man, he must not hold back a woman if she spread her wings ready to fly. Instead, he must improve himself so that he could fly like Adeline and become worthy of being her husband.

Adeline nodded without saying anything. Her tears flowed hard when she finally let go of Andrea's embrace and entered the airport.

That was the last time Andrea met Adeline, his first love. Three years ago.

The first year was the hardest time and Andrea, who was always the top in his class, had difficulty finishing his studies and finally graduated. What for? His purpose in life was taken from him.

Email replies from Adeline became increasingly rare and finally, they stopped altogether after she admitted that she fell in love with another man named Ronan and had lived happily with him. She asked Andrea to move on and forget about her.

After graduation, Andrea devoted his life to his work. He made several security programs that impressed so many digital security experts in the Asia Pacific. One day, an IT company in Singapore invited him for a job interview at their place. That was why today he went to the airport.

Finally, he would go to Singapore, not to get married, but for a job interview.

His mind was filled with memories of the past when he saw the announcement board containing the flight schedule, to look for his gate. He did not pay attention when he turned around. 

Meanwhile, a girl was walking towards him with her face down, looking for her passport. When he turned around, she stepped right behind him, and the collision was inevitable.

She was the charming heiress who could get whatever she wanted in life. She dedicated all her time to travel the world to find inspiration for a successful novel. She fell in love with him at first sight.

He was the best security expert in Asia-Pacific, a sweetest man who vowed to never love another rich girl. His first love was from a wealthy background and her family considered him unworthy to be with their daughter. Yet, now he fell for this aspiring writer.

She was free as a bird, a modern woman who was not interested in marriage and kids. He was the conservative man who dreamed of being a doting father.

The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) was created for the efficient and effective law enforcement of all the provisions on dangerous drugs or its precursors and essential chemicals. It is the implementing arm of the Dangerous Drug Board (DDB), the policy-making and strategy-formulating body in the planning and formulation of policies and programs on drug prevention and control.
The Director-General, who was currently heading PDEA that year, was based in Cebu. Dino, his best friend's son whom he took into his home after he graduated in high school, had now passed his training as a police officer. Under his influence, he had him assigned as a challenge, in a special task force, the Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operation Task Force (PNP-AIDSOTF).
The district of Kamelyo was already long reported as a drug den. There were already several attempts to trace down the powerful men behind these illegal trading, but all ended out as futile due to the strong protection from higher sources.
 Dino and his team got appointed to this great challenge of ending and clearing out the long-time illegal business in this place.
Inwardly, he was happy with the appointment. He had someone to help him discreetly in tracing down these trash of the society, which had already destroyed many homes and lives of those willing victims like the users, pushers, and the mules.
Allie became his best friend during his last year in high school since a teacher, who happened to be Allie's coach in writing, adopted him. She was not just Dino's teacher but was also his aunt. He came to live with her when his mother died in a vehicular accident when he was young.
He met Allie when she was still a freshman. Since she spent most of her weekends in their house for coaching, they became close to each other and became good friends.
After his graduation, his aunt became sick and eventually died. Her best friend, who was now the PDEA's Director-General, took him to his home. They sent him to college, and as a tribute to his kindness, he took up a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice.
Having known ahead of the wickedness of the district of Kamelyo through Allie, he rejoiced secretly. Her place was in the borders of Kamelyo, the direct route by the shoreline towards the factories that employ the people there.
During summer vacations, Allie regularly worked in one of these factories. Brilliant students like got privileges of special assignments as the company's program to help those aspiring students to have financial means during school days.
And because some workers were mostly Ate Elsa's relatives and some were her acquaintances through them, she knew the dark secrets behind the production of these companies. Her knowledge about these evil transactions in the whole district of Kamelyo was the bright hope of Dino to get a rank promotion. Most of all, to make his uncle, Director-General Alfonso, proud and happy for him.

Meanwhile, Leo and Ajie were shivering in fear as they sat down before the desk of an interrogation officer.
"Do you know that the total weight of these drug packets inside this bag is 80 grams?" The officer fixed his gaze firmly on the frightened looks of the father and son.
They both shook their heads vigorously. Anyone could tell through their expressions that they were innocent. Leo's face had already turned red. He wanted to cry, but he did not want to frighten his son more. He regretted the day he decided to send him here.
It was not enough. The next statement of the officer scared them to death.
"Do you know that the law stated it that a penalty of life imprisonment to death and a fine ranging from P500,000 to P10 million should be imposed upon any person, who, unless authorized by law, will be found possessing 50 grams or more of methamphetamines hydrochloride or shabu? "
Ajie almost fainted when he heard this. He was here to find success and build a good future and not to rot his dreams inside a prison cell. Leo could not hold his urge to cry anymore.
"I'm sorry, son. If only I knew that this would happen, we should not have come. We are here to find you the best university... "
Ajie did not say a word, but his tears were running fast down his face. His knuckles had already turned white in his effort to stop his trembling.
"Sir... " The tension in the atmosphere halted when Dino walked into the room. He gazed into the eyes of the two innocent victims who were crying silently and then to the interrogation officer.
"Please follow me," Dino said as he walked out of the room, leaving the father and son wondering what was happening.
Their forlorn figure made them look like desperate victims waiting for their verdict of capital punishment.
To the officer's surprise, the whole team of a special task force was already gathering inside a large function room. Officers of the higher ranks were there. What shocked him the most was the presence of the Director-General.
"We will be planning for a major operation tonight..." One of the officers answered his unspoken questions, seeing his bewildered look.
___
During that night of the commotion in Elsa's place, Dino and his team, together with the higher and major task forces with the presence of his uncle, Director-General Alfonso, were finalizing their execution plan in the arrest of the people behind this great drug syndicate. For many years they had ruled and employed the people of Kamelyo as their troops of drug mules under the cloak of their designation as factory workers and administrators. The plants which manufactured computer parts, electronic components, and metallurgical elements had a mega laboratory of illegal drugs, connecting one building to another, underneath its massive buildings. The protection of their passage routes along the shoreline, which the company owners asked, was only an act of pretense to drive away from the suspicion of the anti-drug forces.
Also, during that night, Allie sent Dino a message about her prediction that Ben, who held a high position in the company, would not delay in sending his revenge towards the man who reopened his old wound caused by a failure of winning the woman he loved before. Of course, Dino would value any of her requests. Not only as a friend who also desired for his success but as the main lead in pointing out the main culprit of the high crime which was long happening in their place.
While some of Dino's men were hiding beneath the thick rows of mangroves to capture the bearer of that bag of drug packets, Allie placed her spy camera into the hole.
...


Allyza lifted up her eyes to Hayri, her fiance who stood beside her on the deck. He looked back at her with those tender eyes, filled with so much love and admiration for her.

Little did he know, that the woman he loved and adored so much for five years was the one he was long haunting down to kill to avenge for his father.

:Ajax|

Few months have already passed.

"Are you sure you are okay now, Aj?" Xander welcomed me at the school gate, he has still that kind of dimples on his face that every girl would fall for… and plus a vexing grin that would be a good start to ruin your day. He took my hand, "Welcome to Roseville. It's your first time to be here right?" he smiled and gave me a hug instead.

Xavier came in, he was running like crazy. He was sweating a lot. "I'm glad, I am not late! The school president is crazy though!" he said while he was getting back the air he just lost in running. "She's very tyrant and tough. She can beat guys!" he added.

Xavier and Xander are twins. They both have the same exact identical face… not to mention the hair, the hair colour, the height and structure of the body… the stance and the way they talk. Name it… if you know them for the first time, you would get confused which of them is Xavier and Xander. But since we are friends for so long, I could easily figure out the difference between them. And it's a secret.

I have a terrible nightmare in the last few months. That old Duke really tortured me… he won't keep his calm not unless I would return his son… Logan. I have no idea where that guy is! But thanks to the Griffins, I was saved again and I was under their protection for now. Duke still wants me to be punished but what can he do? I don't know where his son is! Until now, there was no update about Logan's whereabouts. It all ends in the university where he was in. Even his professors didn't know about the reason why he left. He was in the several headlines of the newspapers, 'A Shocking Moment Of Duke Lewis, The Only Heir Was Gone.'. The police disclosed that he wasn't kidnapped… or taken by the bad guys, the photo of him being strangled in a wire was just edited. The Lewis family is in a great uproar right now because they lost their only heir. After that man died, I'm sure his wife, Victoria Lewis would be gone crazy once Leonardo Lewis would take the company if the board elected him as the new founder of Lewis Incorporated.

"Make sure you have your own freezer account. It's very important to hot guys like us." Xander guided me to the entrance gate. I just nodded. 

I was already done in my senior high when I was in Livingstate. My real standing in education is a fourth year college in Computer Science. I am specialized in hacking. I couldn't graduate in March because I haven't finished my thesis project because of that old Duke who locked me in a closed room for the whole month of March. 

And it was such a waste for me. And I don't think the Griffins would allow me to continue my course, they want me to take up a business course. Since I was accelerated in my educational programs back when I was living in Livingstate… my age right now would be still the exact requirement here in Roseville to enter a senior high program.

"Yeah, and be friendly to girls, Aj. You need to use your face to graduate here. I tell you, they gave us services where you can't find in Livingstate. You need to smile a lot." he reminded me.

"Don't lecture me like you are my aunt." I wiped them off. Xander just shrugged it off. "But you have to listen to us. The School President hates delinquents and handsome boys. She's a great threat and a real big deal." Xavier continued on. "Whatever, I will figure it out on my own." I said while thinking of ditching my class later… since I have learned everything already. I guess it's such a waste for me to be here, to sit in the class and pretend that the lesson is new to me. "Come on, the president might be in the hallway… inspecting for late students. I don't want to be punished by her!" and he hauled us in.

Rhian Maechila Serrano is the new president of the Sky High Academy. She is one of the students who got the first place in the last month's assessment test. Well… the other one is Daisy Jane Gonzales, a brilliant young student who has a serious problem of her personality. Despite that she's having a pretty face, who could easily enter a modelling competition, her attitude is the opposite. She's not kind… and she often looked down on others, especially to those who aren't in her level. Her family is rich, her mom was a lawyer and her dad is a head doctor in the orthopaedics department in a prestigious hospital of Roseville. And there's a bonus, she lives in Sky High Village… an exclusive village for rich people.

Well back to Rhian… whom her friend, Lily, call her 'Remae'. She's a strong president. She maintains her average grade as per requirement of her scholarship granted by the school itself. Her family is not rich… in fact her father left a burden to her young mother who was forced to work despite of her illness. She's resilient and have a strong foundation of courage that whatever will happen to her life, she won't give up.

And now as she waited for the clock to turn the long head one stick ahead of the '30' mark, she got out of her small office with her arnis stick and heads to the building to arrest the late students who was trying to get in and avoid her notice.

Xavier and Xander… together with their friend, Ajax, was shocked to see her face. She really had borrowed one of the dragon's wrath and maybe she can memorize a curse too.

.
.
.
.
.

"You two are late again…" she said and played her sticks.

"Pres! We are only late for a minute! Could let us pass? Please?" Xander tried to ease her with a smile but Remae was a cold hearted lady… and plus she hates boys the most, she even remember her father in them that's why smiling like that would do no good for her. "No. It is stated in the school handbook section 1.2 that whoever is late even just a minute shall be put in a severe punishment. That's the rule of our school. And you are late for three consecutive days… enough for a severe punishment." she added… like she was a walking library.

Xavier hissed in Ajax's ear, "She's scary… she's not even cute."

"Are you saying something, Xander?"

"I'm Xavier."

"Whatever."

"And you… Xavier…" she pointed the wrong one, which is Xander. "You did a very serious offense in the library the other day. You turned the library into a dating area! You have no respect to this institution at all. I can't forgive you! You are in mandatory, you need to clean the whole gym for the whole week and attend a committee service in the weekend. Do you understand that?"

Xander turned to Xavier, "Hey… you heard that. Your cooperation is requested." he smirked. Xavier reacted, "I did not do that! Don't grease on me, Xander!"

"So… would you let us in now?" I talked and she just stared at me. She really has a boyish aura… I wonder if she's a girl or not. But whatever… as long as I keep my promise with the Griffins… it's fine.

And her expression changed, this time it was strong as she stepped forward and pinched my clothes, "Why are you not wearing the uniform?" she strictly asked. I answered her naturally, "I am a transfer student. It's my first day here." she still kept on playing that solid stick in her hands, "You can get it for free after you enrolled. I don't accept your reasons so…" and she raised her voice, like she was the commander in-charge of the huge battalion joining in a world war three, "The three of you should sit on the air for two hours!"

Xander and Xavier were already shaking in fear. Why they are so afraid of this girl? She's just a woman with a stick! I raised a brow at her, challenging her to put that stick down, "And why would we do that in front of you?"

"I am the school president here… I have the school rules and I intend to make all of you follow and obey it… like you are all going to lose your lives. Follow the school rules or else, you three would be beaten up by this stick."

"I won't let you do that. You are only the school president. You can't beat a student."

And Xander tried to hush me down, "Don't talk back at her, Aj. She would really beat you up. The school officials granted her to do that since we have so many delinquent students here. She is tasked to discipline everyone."

"Since you want to challenge me. I challenge you in a battle of combat. If you can take this stick from me, you win. And I won't punish the three of you for the rules you've disobeyed. But if I win, you will deserve your worst punishment." she declared confidentially… have she already trained in martial arts too? I wonder… even she acts like boy, her body cannot deny that she's really a girl. As I say, her vital stats are not bad.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I wonder if you can defeat me. You have big boobs and small waist and your arms are thin too. Are you sure you want to challenge me, President?"

Because I was extremely confident that I would win against her.

Ajax... is trying to find the truth about the death of his mom but he ended up finding something else. Love? Wealth? (...)

Chase P.o.v.
My name is Chase Davenport, a 16-year-old genius, straight "A" student, hypnosis and inventor. I live in New York City with two twin sisters and my slutty mother. When I was 7 years old, I found out my passion for inventing, I joined the science fair and won it with the robot car. When I was 13, I bought a magazine with a lot of girls in their bikinis. Two months later, I begged my brother to buy a naked women magazine. 

I found, practiced and trained herself a skill called "hypnosis". The first person I hypnotized was my mother and sisters to be my servants and call me by 'Master', I improved my abilities of Hypnosis much more than I was. My mother was born in a very wealthy family so I live in a mansion with my mother and sisters and also my aunties.

When I was 14, I wanted to build my own robot girls, so my mom gave me lots of money and the Basement so I can build the two robots, it took 2 years to make them and they were perfect, I named them Liv and Maddie, Both incredibly hot women that can look, feel, sound and walk like humans as well as giving them the ability to grow and age at the same time as me.

Chase: Ok, time to wake them up.

I opened the tubes and pulled them out but still off, I went to feel them and they felt like real people, I gave them personalities and programs to follow. liv programming was to be a singer, an actor, singing, dancing, sexiest dances, and awesome stripper. Maddie programming is to be a Genius, but not smarter than Chase, dancing, also play sports, a gamer, beautiful, and tall. But both of them were programmed to be his girlfriend's, never fight each other, and to do whatever Chase says.

Chase: ok, time to walk them up.

I turned them on and their eyes opened, they looked straight at me.

Chase: ok you two, What am I to you?

Liv/Maddie: You our boyfriend and Master.

Chase: Good, Now I have some clothes for you two.

I took them to a spare room we had for them and showed them the clothes, I walked out to let them get their stuff on, a few minutes later, I went back in and saw them in their clothes I picked out for them.

Liv-[Black Skirt, Red Crop Top with a Leather Jacket, Black Stockings and Red High Wedges]

Maddie-[Shorts, tank top with Jacket, Black sneakers]

Chase: Ok now your both will be attending the same school I am, Maddie I want you to be on the School basketball team, became the best of the best while hypnotizing the female's basketball teams to serve me, Liv, you will be the school Actors, be the best and hypnotize any females you can get, but don't be sudden to hypnotize, wait for the right moment and then strike, understood?

Liv/Maddie: Yes master.

Chase: Oh and don't call me master when around others.

Liv/Maddie: yes Chase.

Chase: Ok, good night.

Two months later

It's been two months since I brought liv and Maddie to live and attended my school, Union Academy, The Biggest School, and Well Known school if New York after the attack from the aliens 4 years ago, I lost my brother that day, I have a few female students and teachers in my school under my control, Liv and Maddie was being what I programmed to do, Maddie became the Schools ace during the two months here, Liv became the idol of the School as well, becoming the face of the School.

What I didn't know was that both Liv and Maddie was also slowly minding control students from other schools as well, having Union as my main base, I have a total of 9 other schools being mind-controlled to work for me, one of them was Fort Academy, a Military school that was open to the public while having weapons stored in there.

I now have control for the Female Principal of Union, Ozpina, I was able to mind control her when I visited her office. Thanks to having the principal under my thumb, I had her remove the Male students and teachers from the school, keeping me in the school of course, much to the male student's outrage, but that was that.

After a month of being the only male in the entire school, I have the complete female body under my control to be my slaves, I had them increase the Mind control to the other school's females and have them under my control as well, I found out from the principle that Union has abandoned underground armor weapons and vehicles manufacturing plant underneath the school, with the help of Maddie, myself and few of the Geniuses of Union, we repaired the weapons plant and started making firearms, body armors and armored vehicles for the future.

While in school, I was planning my moves for taking New York as my starting empire, thanks to my slaves in the Fort Academy, I found out about Stewart Air National Guard Base. They have been guards weapons that were taken after the attack from New York to having even more powerful weapons from other battles.

I was in the office with Ozpina, Maddie, Liv, Megan, Bree and Amanda, planning our attack of the base.

Ozpina: Master, how are we going to play this?

Chase: simple, we are going to attack from different directions, Liv and Ozpina, You two will lead the attack on the front gate, luring the army to the front, Bree and Amanda, you will lay down support for Liv and Ozpina while Maddie and Megan, you two will lead a sneak strike force from within the base, near the base, there is an escape tunnel if the base was overrun, you two will lead your forces through that tunnel and into the base, you are also capturing any female soldiers you find and install a hypo chip to them so I have control over them
Maddie: how many girls will be in the sneak attack?

Chase: Maddie and Megan will lead 150 girls into the base, Liv and Ozpina will lead with 500, lastly Bree and Amanda will be supporting their 500 girls.

Liv: how will we get there?

Chase: we will be using trucks to transport a few of the GURKHA LAPV Armored Vehicles with the mounted Guns on them while the Terradyne Gurkha CIV without the gun will drive there as well as some Tour buses to transport the students, The students are assigned to hypo their mothers and females living with them to join the attack.

Amanda: When will we begin the attack?

Chase: in two weeks, maybe even sooner.

Everyone: Ok.
 
A week and a half

It's been a week and a half since the meeting about the attack, I have everything to be ready for the attack, I have GURKHA LAPV in the Trucks, I have the students suiting up to attack the Base, I was geared up as well to join the all of the bases I had other trucks ready to attack, I decided to say a speech.

Chase: to everyone that hears me, We are about to attack a base of the United Started Military on US soil, today will be the day of change when we started to take over, but we need to start small and rise up to the hype, As of this day, The Empire of the Empire begins!

After the speech, all of my forces from all over New York started moving towards Stewart Air National Guard Base. This attack will be my new beginning.

Chase Davenport, a 16 year old student, hypnotist and inventor that lives in New york with two sisters and slut of a mother, this is the story of how a normal nobody turned into a emperor on a multiversal scale.

Gun-Ho changed his mind.
"Right. What am I gonna do with the skills certificate? I will have a pay increase about 200,000 or 300,000 won with the environmental technician or welder certificate. I will still work at a factory. Fuck! Why not have an adventure myself? Whatever it is I choose to do, my life won't get any worse."
Finally, Gun-Ho decided to study computerized accounting; it was a firm decision. Gun-Ho had a fear of failure, of course, because he knew he was not good with numbers.
"I used to get a zero on my math exam in school. That's why I chose a college of liberal arts over a college of natural science even though it was a low ranked college in the countryside. Also, I had strived for a passing grade in the civil service exam to become a level-9 government employee because I didn't have to take a math exam for it. I have been trying to avoid math all my life, and I am wondering if I can handle computerized accounting."
Still worrying about it, Gun-Ho made a call to a vocational school that offered computerized accounting courses. The school was located in Uijeongbu City; Gun-Ho couldn't find any vocational school with the course in Yangju.
"Is it a vocational school? Do you provide a level-2 computerized accounting course at night?"
"Are you currently working?"
"Yes, I am."
"We have two types of programs for students who are currently working: evening program and weekend program. The weekend program is already closed, and the evening program is still open."
"What time does the evening class start?"
"From 7 to 10 PM."
"Is it part of government-sponsored program?"
"Yes, if you have the Tomorrow Learning Card, you can take the class."
"Do you accept male students?"
"Haha, who cares whether you are male or female? Anyone can take the class."
"Is there any qualification requirement?"
"No there isn't. It doesn't matter whether you are a junior high school graduate or college graduate."
"Ok then. I will come and visit the school soon."
Gun-Ho checked the distance from home to the school.  It was over 40 km round-trip; it was tight but it was still doable if Gun-Ho made some effort into it.
"I will have to spend extra on gas, but why don't I give it a try?"
 
Gun-Ho got off his work at 5:30 in the afternoon. He was supposed to get off at 5, but with two 15-minute breaks in the morning and afternoon, he had to add 30 minutes. Production workers couldn't go on without 15-minute breaks because of high physical work intensity. Companies varied in how they gave breaks during work hours, but usually, they gave a 15-minute break after two hours of intense work from 8 to 10 AM.
During work hours, workers were not even supposed to go pee because they all have to work simultaneously. When one was finished, it passed on to the next, so if one person stopped working to go to pee, then the next person had to stop his work as well until the first person returned. They picked up the work at 10:15 after the first break and at noon, the morning work ended. The afternoon work started at 1. They took a 15-minute break at 3; during this time, they went to the bathroom and ate some snacks like bread and milk. After the break, they worked intensely until 5:30.
"So I get off at 5:30. I then wash my hands, change my clothes, clean up a little, and return to my room at OneRoom. It's 6:30 then. It will take about 30 minutes to drive to the vocational school, so I can get to the class on time. I won't have time for dinner though. I will be hungry."
 
Gun-Ho registered for the class in the vocational school. There were about 20 students, all females except 3. Gun-Ho was worried he would be the only male in the class. He felt relieved when he saw 2 other men.
"Since today is our first day of class, I will talk about basic accounting principles and fundamental accounting concepts."
A female instructor started explaining; she looked about the same age as Gun-Ho. The class was somewhat interesting. On the second day, the instructor talked about the accounting cycle; Gun-Ho didn't fully understand. When she talked about financial statements, and profit and loss statements, Gun-Ho found it difficult to understand not only the terminology but the concept too.
"You all understood the concept of a fixed asset, current asset, fixed liability, and current liability, right?"
"Not so sure."
"Those who are not sure, please go home and read the handouts one more time."
Gun-Ho had a hard time understanding the concept even after reading the handouts several times."
"Gosh, maybe I shouldn't be here."
Gun-Ho doubted whether he had the aptitude for accounting. He didn't even start the practical training, but he was already lost in doing accounting with account titles. He had no idea what debt or credit meant. They would start Recording and Retrieving Business Transaction next week, and maybe he should give up now.
 
Jong-Suk started giggling while talking with Gun-Ho on the phone.
"You started to learn accounting? You used to study for the level-9 government employee civil service exam. Is it doable?" 
"I gave some thought to it. I don't think I have the right aptitude for accounting."
Jong-Suk giggled again. "Accounting is not for everyone. Even the commercial college graduates found it difficult."
"But the women seem good at it. I don't think they graduated from a commercial college."
"I guess doing accounting involves meticulous record-keeping.  Maybe that's why women tend to have an aptitude for it."
"What about you? How are you doing with learning welding skills?"
"Yeah, I am having fun. Now, I can do gas welding and arc welding."
"Good for you."
"Bro, you sound a little down. What's going on? What did you do yesterday? Did you go there?"
"Go where? I was racking my brains all day."
"Let's go fishing and get some fresh air. It has been a while."
"Okay. Let's go."
"Damn. You sound really down, and now I'm feeling down too."
"Sorry man."
 
Cosmos flowers at the fishing site were falling down. It was chilly and windy.
"The season is changing. It's cold already."
"Uh? Cheongdam Chairman Lee is already here."
"The man is so into fishing too."
Gun-Ho and Jong-Suk walked down the lake, carrying their fishing gears and bags.
"You are already here. How have you been?"
"Oh, Gun-Ho and Jong-Suk. It has been a while. How come you don't come here often anymore? I didn't see you last week."
"Yes, we have been busy lately. We are going to vocational schools."
"Vocational school? Good for you. What are you learning?"
"I am taking the level-2 computerized accounting, and Jong-Suk is taking welding skills class."
"Computerized accounting? Oh, I see. You made the right decision. How's the class? Do you like it?"
"No, not really. I have no idea what they are talking about, and I don't think I have the right aptitude for it."
"Haha. Is that so? Jong-Suk, what about you? How is the welding class?"
"Yes, it's fun. Now I can do most types of welding."
"Haha. That's good for you. Gun-Ho, which part of computerized accounting do you find difficult?"
"The terminology used in Balance Sheet is new to me and it's very difficult. During the hands-on practice training, journal entries were confusing as well."
"Balance sheet is difficult… Do you know who created it?"  
"Huh? The person who created it? Probably a famous scholar did a long time ago."
"No."
Chairman Lee shook his head.
"Neither a prominent scholar nor Ph.Ds from SKY commercial colleges."
"Then who was it?"
"The balance sheet was created by people from a low class, the slaves."
"What? Slaves? That's unbelievable!"

This is the story of a poor young man whose poverty even shreds apart their family willing to climb his way through society and into the top. A very realistic novel that moves away from fantasy and sci-fi and focuses solely on the issues of society and life.

The requirements were the same as the formal examination but there would be no separate examination halls or seats. Throughout the entire process of attempting the questions, one had to be independent and rely on their own integrity.
It was already an opportunistic behavior to spot the questions before the examination.
Qiao Nan felt that, as third-year students, it would be meaningless for her to help spot the questions if they did not even possess a sense of integrity.
Spotting questions might not be spotting the exact questions but the same kind of questions. If they relied on copying, they could copy for one question. However, if the description or measurement unit in the questions were altered, then the 'copycats' would simply be dumbfounded.
Initially, when the teachers heard of Qiao Nan's plan, they were a little hesitant. The requirements were the same as that of the formal examination but the enforcement was not as strict. If they did not change classrooms and separate the tables, would it work out? After all, they were still a bunch of kids. There were both outstanding and poor students.
Nevertheless, Principal Meng gave an overriding decision and approved Qiao Nan's arrangement.
This method of Qiao Nan had the same logic as the normal circumstances where the teachers taught lessons in class.
Regardless of how well the teacher taught and how greatly they appealed to the students, if the student was reluctant to learn or their heart was not into learning, the best teacher could have a student with poor grades. After all, there was no one-size-fits-all solution to teaching now. It was all customized.
The situation of a second-year student spotting questions for the third-year student was already unbelievable. If the third-year students did not even have this sense of self-awareness, then Principal Meng felt that these students were not deserving of the efforts put in by Qiao Nan.
Besides, to convince the third-year students, Principal Meng had made arrangements for Qiao Nan to participate in the final term examination with them in the first semester.
The difference was that the humanities and science students only needed to take the examinations for their respective subjects but Qiao Nan had to take the examinations for both the humanities and science subjects. She then had to put up her grades on the notice board.
It was only until that moment that the students in Ping Cheng High School found out how perverted Qiao Nan, the top student, was.
She was clearly a second-year student but her grades were actually not worse than that of the third-year students. She could even be considered as one of the top students in the third year. At most, it was just that she did not clinch the top place in the cohort.
Even though Qiao Nan was not the top scorer in the cohort, everyone dared not underestimate her. Those who scored better than her were fearful of her existence.
Qiao Nan was one year younger. That meant Qiao Nan had already self-studied all the curriculum of the third-year studies.
Qiao Nan relied on her own effort to study and participated in the examination of the third-year students. In the end, she scored better than those third-year students who had attended formal classes. Such a difference was akin to that between a genius and a fool.
Furthermore, all of Qiao Nan scores were rather perverted for both science and humanities subjects!!! 
In other words, Qiao Nan had studied one year less. She could effectively skip to the third year and take the college entrance examination with them and then be admitted to a top tier university. 
As seniors who were older than Qiao Nan by a year, they expressed that they did not even know for sure if they could be admitted to a top tier university, whereas their junior scored even better than them. They were thus very ashamed.
They were students studying in a single course, yet they did not even score well for the subjects. On the contrary, their junior received wonderful grades for both courses. As seniors, they were really ashamed.
As such, when the principal let Qiao Nan spot the questions for the third-year students, the students were more convinced and willing to accept it.
Initially, all the teachers who gave out the revision test papers to the students taking part in the college entrance examination were quite worried. They were afraid that the enforcement rules set by Qiao Nan was too forgiving and some 'mischievous' students would flout the regulations and carry out some 'cheap tricks'.
Miraculously, it seemed that nothing of such happened in the entire third-year cohort of students. Everyone was conscientiously attempting the revision test papers set by Qiao Nan. That serious attitude displayed was comparable to that at the final term examination.
This outcome was something all the teachers did not expect.
From the students' attitude, it was not difficult to tell that although the third-year seniors felt embarrassed to address Qiao Nan as Teacher Xiao Qiao, the respect they held for her was less than that for the form teachers.
As one would have imagined, Qiao Nan was the one who had the greatest limelight in the entire Ping Cheng High School this semester.
Because of this, Shi Qing simply laughed at Qiao Nan that the latter had become addicted to teaching since she taught in the army.
"I also rejected it." Qiao Nan had the ability to be admitted to a top tier university. Hence, among all names in the guaranteed admission list, Shi Qing's grades were comparable to that of Qiao Nan. After the streaming of classes in the second year, Shi Qing regained the position of the top scorer in the cohort.
In view of this, both Qiao Nan and Shi Qing's names were in Ping Cheng High School's list of students who were guaranteed admission to a top tier university.
The unexpected yet unsurprising thing was that, facing such a good offer, these two top scorers in the cohort adopted the same stance of declining the offer.
"I've guessed it." Qiao Nan smiled gently. "Both of us rejected. There will be more chances for other students in the humanities and science courses to be on the list. Nevertheless, Principal Meng, and not these schoolmates, is the one that feels most happy about this."
"That's for sure." Shi Qing snorted proudly. "Both of us will be taking the college entrance examination. There will be a chance for us to compete for the top scorer of humanities and science in Ping Cheng. If both the top scorers come from Ping Cheng High School, the school will definitely rise to fame and become a top tier high school in Ping Cheng. When that time comes, The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China will drop to second place. It will be a fact that cannot be changed."
Shi Qing was aware that Ping Cheng High School and The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China were competing with each other.
Previously, Shi Qing was spurred by Qiu Chenxi to come to Ping Cheng. Principal Wei of The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China heard about Shi Qing's outstanding academic performance. He had pulled strings in the hope of transferring Shi Qing to his school instead of Ping Cheng High School. He warmly and formally invited Shi Qing to admit to The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. 
Principal Wei only intended for one thing. Qiao Nan's cohort in Ping Cheng High School and Qiao Nan herself were really too brilliant.
To maintain the school's current position in Ping Cheng, he had to find a student as brilliant as Qiao Nan to compete with her. Shi Qing was the one that Principal Wei had his eyes on.
To Principal Wei's utmost grieve and resentment, regardless of how he persuaded and hold her back, Shi Qing would not change her mind and insisted to go to Ping Cheng High School to compete with Qiao Nan directly.
Toward the favorable conditions that Principal Wei offered to her, Shi Qing did not even care.
Given her birth status, she did not lack anything. She thus did not need the school to provide her with anything.
Principal Meng did not know that Shi Qing was transferred to Ping Cheng High School because of Qiao Nan. It could be said that Shi Qing was 'brought in' by Qiao Nan.
Initially, after Principal Wei missed the chance to admit Qiao Nan to his school, he consoled himself that although Qiao Nan's grades were good, she had many issues. If she lost her usual ability to perform during the college entrance examination, it was still possible that she would flunk the examinations.
Having seen the behavior of Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi, Principal Wei had felt that it might not be peaceful for Qiao Nan when she took the college entrance examination. This saying was not exaggerated at all.
However, after Shi Qing went to Ping Cheng High School because of Qiao Nan, Principal Wei had to cry. 
His school could not even find someone that could compete on the same grounds as Qiao Nan. Now, with Shi Qing's presence, it was simply heaven's wish to perish him at The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China.


Qiao Nan: Crap! I am your biological daughter, yet I am treated as if I was picked up from the streets. In fact, you treat me worse than that!

Mother Qiao: Qiao Nan, you are not as pretty or smart as your elder sister. You are not as blessed as her. You have no right to study, marry, or to have your happiness!

Qiao Nan: Why am I not allowed to study, marry, or to seek my happiness? I will find a man right now and marry him!

Qiao Nan is dumbstruck upon discovering that the man right beside her is a powerful figure in the quad—the person who has the most promising prospects to be the future Chief.

Qiao Nan stares at the well-built man in front of her. He has firm abs and cold, chilling eyes. She swallows the lump in her throat as she says her greetings, "Good Morning, Chief!"

Wednesday.
As soon as his morning classes were over, Fang Ping made a beeline for Scenic Lake Gardens.
At the real estate gallery.
Fang Ping paid the final payment, receiving the paperwork and keys in return. After that, he went to the house to check it out, and with that, the preliminary handover was done.
After settling the final payment, Fang Ping only had slightly over 410,000 points left in his savings and cash.
…
The salesperson at the gallery left.
Without anyone in the way, Fang Ping felt much more at ease.
Taking a walk around the empty house alone, Fang Ping found himself in a very good mood.
It had barely been a few days, but he had already bought himself a large house.
Fang Ping considered Fang Yuan's reaction upon finding out he had bought a large house. It would definitely be interesting.
However, Fang Ping did not plan to tell his family about this just yet. Even if he were to tell them, it had to be after Gaokao.
Once he made it into the martial sciences, he could say he earned it from working with Wang Jinyang. He could even say a large corporation was investing in him in advance. Either way, he would have an excuse.
If his family found out about it now, he would inevitably make his parents worry.
"I'll buy some workout equipment, but the furniture can wait.
"I'll just get some necessary items, like a sofa, a table, and some chairs. Otherwise, I won't have anywhere to sit.
"Oh yeah, I need to get a bed too. I might have to stay the night here…"
Once he made a list of what items he needed to buy, Fang Ping wasted no time and headed out right away.
…
An hour later.
Fang Ping walked out of the city's largest furniture store.
He had booked everything he needed and paid the deposit too. Two days later, all of his purchases would arrive at his doorstep.
With the sofa, table, and chairs, he did not splurge on quality. He just bought whatever that was serviceable.
For the workout equipment, though, Fang Ping made sure he invested in items that were above average.
Even when he was done with the equipment, he could leave the stuff to Fang Yuan. That would not be a waste.
The sofa, table, and chairs did not cost too much, but the equipment cost him a pretty penny.
After he added everything up and settled all the outstanding payments, he only had about 390 thousand left.
…
When he returned to school, Chen Fan asked him slightly curiously, "Fang Ping, why have you been acting all mysterious lately?"
In the past, Fang Ping did not go home during lunch break, and neither did Chen Fan.
The two of them often went to the cafeteria or ate out, but recently, Chen Fan did not see Fang Ping very often at all.
"I've been caught up with some things lately. It's been a little busy."
"Although you signed up for martial sciences, the Martial Science Exam is really hard to take. Social science classes are easier…"
Chen Fan reminded him again patiently, and Fang Ping smiled as he nodded.
He was only advising Fang Ping before they were close. His other, more distant, acquaintances would be more than happy to see him abandon his studies. It would rid them of some competition.
As the two of them were chatting, Yang Jian turned around from where he was sitting in front of them. "Fang Ping, wanna go train together tonight?"
For the past few days, Fang Ping had been getting accustomed to the effects of the increase in his Vitality.
He had no time to train with them, and he had not seen much of a point in it either.
However, now that he had learned a cultivation method, he had not found it particularly efficient to just practice his stances or cultivate at home.
There was nothing at the new house right now, and Fang Ping did not intend to go there just yet. In that case, it may be a good idea to see how others trained.
After a moment's consideration, Fang Ping nodded. "Sure, let's train together tonight."
Yang Jian had just been venturing the invitation casually. The last few times he asked, Fang Ping had declined to go.
This time, however, Fang Ping actually agreed to his half-hearted suggestion. It was so sudden that Yang Jian did not fully comprehend it right away.
Soon enough, though, Yang Jian's face split into a grin. "Alright, then let's go together after class.
"Fang Ping, there will be loads of people there, and quite a few of the school's top hopefuls will be training there too.
"Watching how others trained might help you out a little."
"Okay…"
"..."
The two of them agreed to go together after class, and soon they fell quiet, waiting for the teacher to start teaching.
…
The afternoon classes were over in no time at all.
The social science students might stay until nighttime for self-study, but martial science students like Fang Ping and the others almost never did.
Wu Zhihao and the others had found out that Fang Ping was participating in the group training session that night too.
As the boys walked out, Wu Zhihao laughed and said, "Fang Ping, you've never been to the gym, have you?
"I guarantee it'll blow your socks away!"
The gym he mentioned was No. 1 High School's very own gymnasium, prepared especially for the martial science students to train their bodies.
Not every student had their own private workout gym.
Even if they did, the atmosphere would not be quite the same.
 Wu Zhihao could train at home, but he preferred to go to the gym with everyone else.
With a crowd around, it may get a little chaotic, but having some healthy competition around would provide some motivation, spurring them to train.
Training all alone was dry and boring. Many people could not withstand that loneliness.
Fang Ping laughed at that. "Blow my socks away? What could be so interesting about watching other people train?"
Before Wu Zhihao could even say anything, Zhang Hao had already begun to snigger. "Fang Ping, you really have no idea!
"It's not like we only have male martial science students. There are plenty of girls too.
"And while they're training, do you really think they'd be fully covered up?
"Tsk-tsk, you'll know once you see it for yourself…"
Before he could finish his sentence, one of the female Martial Science Exam candidates from Class (4), Zhang Nan, huffed. "Could you stop being so pervy? Fang Ping is nothing like you!
"You're always staring at girls and embarrassing our class!"
Zhang Hao was not unduly bothered either, smiling as he said, "Did you get what Zhang Nan said? We shouldn't stare at girls from other classes. We should just ogle her instead."
"Get lost!" Zhang Nan rolled her eyes.
"Don't be so fierce. The fiercer you are, the more afraid I am of looking at you. If no one's checking you out, isn't that your loss…?"
"Zhang Hao, are you asking for a beating?"
"..."
The two of them were always at odds, and the others were not even surprised by their bickering anymore.
Wu Zhihao ignored the two of them completely and walked as he said with a laugh, "Don't listen to Zhang Hao's crap. Checking out the girls there is an extra benefit, but it isn't the main point.
"There are many hopefuls from the other classes training at the gym, and some of them have their own training methods.
"We can stand by and watch them. It helps, and we can use some of their tricks too.
"Still, all of us have more or less settled on our styles. You can check them out, Fang Ping, and see if you can learn a few tips here and there."
Fang Ping nodded. Amidst the chatter, they arrived before the gym.
There were guards taking shifts at the gym, as it was not open to the public.
Students of No. 1 High School, however, were allowed to enter, be they martial science or social science students. Of course, they had to pay a fee.
It was a token sum, though. They paid two bucks per entry, regardless of how long they stayed inside.
Fang Ping paid the fee but the others did not have to. Those who came here regularly could get a card and a monthly subscription.
The fee was just so the place would not be overrun by everyone coming in at once.
While the fee of two bucks was not much, it still meant that those who were not really interested in training would not waste the money, just for the fun of it.
…
On the second floor of the gym.
As soon as Fang Ping walked in, he was assaulted by a wave of heat.
There was a cacophony of voices, with people yelling all the time.
The layout inside was similar to that of regular gyms, but only young men and women were in here now.
As soon as Wu Zhihao and the others entered, someone immediately called out, "Zhihao, over here!"
"Zhihao, let's compete!"
"Yang Jian, how high is your Vitality now?"
"..."
They were all from the same school, and No. 1 High School had fewer than 300 students taking the Martial Science Exam. Even fewer came here regularly, adding up to less than 200 in total.
Wu Zhihao had a decent level of Vitality, and he was one of the best candidates here. As a result, many people knew him.
Faced with their greetings, Wu Zhihao just chuckled and said, "I'm not competing today, we're just here to do our own thing."
Fang Ping asked in a low voice, "Competing in what?"
"Nothing much. It's just some harmless fun, so we compete to see who can do the most push-ups, sit-ups, or who wins in tug-of-war…"
Wu Zhihao gave him a simplified explanation as he led Fang Ping and the others to a spot with fewer people.
The others had their own plans, so they each found a free machine and began to facilitate their own training.
Wu Zhihao, on the other hand, found a free composite machine and taught Fang Ping how to train.
Although Fang Ping knew how to use these things, he could not bring himself to pour cold water on Old Wu's passionate help. As he listened to Wu Zhihao's explanations, he began to look around.
There were quite a few people on the second floor of the gym, but the place was so big that it did not feel particularly cramped.
Quite a few of them were actually girls, and they did not dress very modestly when working out either.
To tell the truth, though, Fang Ping was not very interested, and he did not find the prospect of ogling at them especially attractive either.
They were young and pretty high school students. If they were at the beach, Fang Ping might still give them a second look.
Now, however, they were all drenched in sweat, and a girl's sweat was no more fragrant than a boy's. That was why he had no intention of approaching them.
As Wu Zhihao taught Fang Ping how to use the equipment, he whispered, "The gym has a third floor too."
"Huh?"
"Very few people go to the third floor, but it's more interesting than the second floor. Those who come here for the first time like to check out the third floor."
Wu Zhihao explained in a low voice, "I mean, you know that No. 1 High School is the best high school in Sun City, and it's not like Sun City is completely devoid of martial artists.
"The kids and grandkids of martial artists here almost always end up in No. 1 High School for their high school studies.
"There aren't many of these martial artists' descendants, but there are definitely a few.
"For our year, there are two students with martial artists in their families.
"Add that to the ones from the first and second years, and there are a total of 7 students in our school who have a martial artist in their families.
"The 7 of them come to train here very often too.
"But they tend to train on the third floor, not the second.
"You interested, Fang Ping?"
"We can go too?" Fang Ping was slightly surprised.
"Of course. It's not like the school forbids us from going. We just don't go that often.
"There isn't a lot of equipment on the third floor, and those guys are all descended from martial artists. They don't click well with us.
"Still, they won't say anything if you just stopped by for a look. Those who come here for the first time tend to go for a look or two.
"Of course, if someone comes here regularly enough, soon they won't be bothered to go up there anymore. There's nothing much to see."
Fang Ping was intrigued. Getting up, he said, "Let's go up and have a look. Do these guys have high Vitality?"
"Kind of but not really, I guess. Their Vitality is slightly higher than ours, but not by much."
Wu Zhihao led Fang Ping up the stairs, saying again in a low voice, "The martial artists in Sun City aren't all that high-ranked, so their assets are limited too.
"I mean, would the really good ones stay in Sun City?
"Those with slightly higher ranks wouldn't have their kids study here either. They'd either be at Auspicious Sun City No. 1 High School, or at some other school in the big city."
Fang Ping understood. No wonder he rarely heard of any particularly powerful second-generation martial artist here at No. 1 High School.
The second-generation martial artists studying at No. 1 High School were mostly descended from Rank-1 or Rank-2 martial artists, most of them Rank-1.
Most of them were community martial artists, too. They cultivated on their own, so they had limited access to resources. Naturally, they could not provide their children with too much.
Even if their Vitality was slightly higher, it would not be much higher than most other people.
As they chatted, the two of them reached the third floor.
It was extremely spacious and quiet!
That was Fang Ping's first impression of the place. It was vastly different from the hustle and bustle of downstairs.
There were very few people here too!
Although there were 7 second-generation martial artists at No. 1 High School, not every one of them would come here, and they would not come here every time either.
Fang Ping glanced around. There were only 5 people in the entire spacious third floor, and two of them were clearly tourists like Fang Ping and Wu Zhihao.
Only 3 of them were actually cultivating here.
Yes, they were cultivating!
They were not using the Methods of Honing. It was too low-leveled for martial artists to teach to their children. Instead, these students were practicing their stances.
Having seen the Sixteen Styles of Pole-standing, Fang Ping could instantly tell that 3 people here were practicing their stances.


Fang Ping finally settled an issue after wasting half an hour of his life. He wasn't dreaming nor acting —for God's sake, if acting in a movie could restore his youth, then the film crew deserved a trip to heaven immediately!

After verifying that he had reincarnated, Fang Ping felt a wave of panic before settling down and accepting the truth.

What was the truth? It was that he had indeed reincarnated into a younger version of himself, and since he was equipped with his knowledge of the future, he was going to seize the day and become the next-big-thing in the business world! He was going to be rich!

That was that, until his friend interrupted him.

"So are you signing up for the martial sciences exam?"

What? Was this a joke? Or had he been handed the wrong script? Was this even the right universe? What was martial sciences? Why did the exam cost 10 thousand bucks to sign up? Loaded with questions, Fang Ping will soon realize that he might not have struck the jackpot as he had initially thought...
