Chapter 189 Admission Welcome Ceremony (Part 2)
Based on experience, there are usually two possible meanings for garbled characters in games:
One is the "jargon" that only University Town Biology can understand; the other is a bug when the data is confused.
Guo Guo was deeply confused. "If I remember correctly, there was already a bug in the last dungeon because of the issue of whether to upgrade to level 1 or level 2, right?"
Last time, the uncertainty of the admission results could be used to explain it. This time, is it possible that even the ranking results are uncertain?
While she was still wondering whether the game was going to go bankrupt, Tang Xinjue had already opened the customer service interface.
Guo Guo was quick to respond: "Wait, consultation costs money!"
Compared with points, credits are few and hard to earn. Every point you use means one less point, which is very painful just thinking about it.
Tang Xin Jue smiled and gestured for her to look at the credit column: "Now we can afford this money."
Following his gaze, Guo Guo was stunned: ones, tens, thirty...thirty-four?
Wait, she actually has 34 credits now??!
Is there something wrong with her eyes, or is there something wrong with the system?
Tang Xin Jue pointed out the answer: "Because the credits for this exam are calculated based on the coefficient of one book."
When they were still in the "third-tier universities", the credits they earned for each exam increased according to the difficulty level based on the basic premise : for example, grade B was 3 credits, grade A was 4 credits... But after being promoted to the first-tier universities, the credit coefficient suddenly doubled!
This means that when the original basic credits were 1, the current basic credits have become 4. Adding the difficulty factor, after completing a B-level copy of "Dead Rising Practice", each person in the dormitory received an average of 12 credits.
"Before the Friendship League, I had 18 credits. The league gave me 5 credits, the entrance exam gave me no credits, and Dead Rising gave me 12 credits."
Zhang You silently calculated, "Do I also need to deduct the two credits I earned from complaining to the customer service department about the Academic Affairs Office?"
Tang Xin Jue clicked on another message: "Now those 2 points are back."
The new message in the inbox read:
[After verification by the Inspectorate, the reported issue does exist. The Academic Affairs Office has been given a demerit and all credits lost for reporting have been refunded. The school is my home, and its development depends on everyone—thank you for your support and maintenance of discipline in the university town!]
So all in all, Tang Xin Jue now has 35 points, and Zhang You and the other two have 34 points.
Although Guo Guo didn't understand the calculation process, it didn't stop her from seeing the result: "Rounding it off, wouldn't we have already earned one-third of the total credits?"
She remembered clearly that as long as she got 100 credits, she could "graduate" and leave the game and return to the real world.
This is the ultimate goal of the four people, but now it no longer seems so far away, but there is hope that it can be touched.
"Isn't it just 60 points left?"
Guo Guo's enthusiasm instantly surged, and he began counting on his fingers with great energy: "At worst, we can just report a few more people at once. After all, a negative always equals a positive. If we offend too many people, it's like we've offended no one..."
Zhang You: “…”
As if Guo Guo's voice could be heard, the customer service interface began to flash as soon as it was opened, as if hesitating whether to crash.
Tang Xin Jue explained kindly: [This time I'm not reporting, I'm just asking for advice, which only costs 1 credit.]
Something seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, and the customer service attitude was also very good:
[Customer Service 017: It's okay. Your "Exam Discipline Maintainer" certification has been passed, and reporting exam-related issues will not consume credits.]
Tang Xin Jue paused, then asked with interest, "Really? Thanks for the reminder."
Before the customer service representative could answer, she suddenly changed the subject: "But I remember that we got this title from the health inspection transcript. How come it was only approved now?"
customer service:"……"
Tang Xin Jue: [Could it be that the previous customer service representatives clearly saw the certification but deliberately didn't tell me?]
customer service:"……"
[Customer Service 017: Dear student, what urgent matter do you want to consult?]
Tang Xin Jue said leisurely, "There's nothing urgent, but I might have found two more people to complain to."
[Customer Service: There are no credits awarded for complaining to customer service!]
Tang Xin Jue: [School is my home, and its development depends on everyone. Making voluntary complaints is every student's responsibility.]
customer service:"……"
I regret it. I regret it so much now.
After realizing that it couldn't shake Tang Xin Jue at all, nor could it figure out her trump card, it immediately became flexible:
[In fact, if you consult first and then report some exam details, you can operate it here and directly convert it according to the report, so you don't need to consume credits.]
[OK.]
Tang Xin Jue readily agreed: "Thank you so much, I hope it's not too much trouble for you guys?"
Customer Service: [You're welcome. We're all acquaintances. The convenience of students is our primary concern.]
In order to prevent Tang Xinjue from changing his mind again, the customer service responded to the question this time with unprecedented speed:
[After checking, your issue is not a system bug, and the global dormitory rankings are currently functioning normally.]
[As for the garbled characters...] Customer service paused for a few seconds: [It should be due to the ranking calculation mechanism.]
Tang Xin Jue: "Calculation mechanism?"
[This is true. The rankings are based on a comprehensive list of dormitory data, including the dormitory's exam pass rate, loss rate, match win-loss rate, NPC match win rate, and so on. However, if there are no losses in any of these data, the system will not be able to make the corresponding calculations.]
Customer Service Summary: [Simply put, you must fail at least once to be considered for ranking. Because we can't detect your dormitory's failure rate, you are currently unranked.]
606: ???
Guo Guo was surprised and said, "What kind of logic is this? Does this mean that every dormitory must fail once?"
Customer service is very strict: [The failure rate does not mean failing the exam. It also includes details such as being defeated by NPCs, being defeated by other dormitory students, being defeated in dungeon levels, etc. Even if it only causes psychological setbacks to the candidates, it can be counted.]
[But, unfortunately.]
The customer service representative pondered his words for a while before finally saying subtly, "Perhaps, during your next exam, you could try changing your style and give the NPCs more room to shine?"
606: “…”
Blame them?
Although the results were somewhat unexpected, the ranking at least provides an explanation - and it doesn't even seem like a bad thing?
But no matter what, the four of them could only put it aside for the time being and deal with more urgent matters first.
Skill upgrades and lottery redemptions were self-explanatory. But in addition to the items obtained from the mall, Tang Xin Jue also took out another item.
Those were two pieces of paper brought out from the zombie copy.
"So these two experimental records can also be brought back here?"
Guo Guo took it and looked at it in surprise. "But why is there a second one? Didn't the Heart Sutra only find one?"
Tang Xin Jue repeated the bald girl Fang Zhou's original words and explained, "Because I was too busy on the last day of the dungeon, I didn't explain the details clearly."
The second lab log looked like a more elaborate version of the first, lacking much information. But she had a hunch, so she kept it close to her. Unexpectedly, she actually brought it back.
Guo Guo nodded. "I really can't see anything. There's only the number of experiments, anchor points, pairings... Wait, what is this?"
She suddenly turned the paper over and her eyes gradually widened.
The three of them hurried forward, but only saw a smooth paper surface - there was no writing on the back of the paper at all.
But when he raised his head, Guo Guo was already covered in cold sweat and trembling all over, as if he was about to faint again!
