"Oh no, we might be late......" Sun Qingyue's face turned pale with fright, and her lips trembled a little.

Then she glanced at Li Jizong complainingly.

She is a good student with excellent character and learning, and she comes to class very early every time. Unexpectedly, when I walked with Li Jizong this time, I was unprecedentedly late, and I suddenly felt like I was being taken badly.

At this moment, the other students have already entered the classroom and are sitting at their desks.

A tall, bony middle-aged man stood straight in front of the door. This person has a calm breath and gives people the impression of deep wisdom. He had a sheathed knife pinned to his waist, which made him even more heroic.

"Teacher Min Rui!" Sun Qingyue said weakly, "I'm very sorry, we're late." ”

This person is the teacher of the refining class, named Min Rui.

Teacher Min smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, it's just a little late, just pay attention next time, let's go in." ”

Then, Teacher Min glanced at Li Jizong, maintained the same smile and said, "Li Jizong, you can also go in." ”

- Hey, this is the sun coming out of the west? This Teacher Min is so easy to talk to?

Li Jizong couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was thinking too much.

Entering the classroom, the two of them found seats next to each other and sat down, and pulled out the textbook of alchemy from their school bags.

Similar to the alchemy class, the alchemy class in the lower grades does not teach the art of alchemy, but first learns about various minerals.

To refine a weapon, it is necessary to take ore, quench a useful metal substance from it, and then go through a series of processes such as tempering and forging to cast a weapon.

It can be said that the difficulty of refining is not weaker than that of alchemy. The most basic thing is to learn to recognize the various minerals and understand what kind of substances are contained.

Textbooks are full of this knowledge. There are so many types of minerals that it takes a lot of effort to understand them all.

Li Jizong had nothing to do and flipped through it casually.

At this time, I heard Min Rui's voice standing on the podium: "Students, there is no class today, and a mock test will be conducted." ”

When many students heard this, they immediately showed nervousness. Exams have always been the last thing students want. For teachers, they are the most willing to do it. This is the only way to understand how well each student is learning.

"This test will be included in the credit assessment. Teacher Min Rui added.

Wow!

There was silence all around, and everyone turned into shivering quails! Even the students who had good grades began to get nervous.

Credits are so important to students that if they fail in the exam, they will be deducted.

"As usual, not according to the ranking, only according to the grades, two credits will be awarded if you score more than 90 points on the 100-point system, and two credits will be deducted if you score less than 60 points. There is no reward or penalty between the score lines. Teacher Min Rui explained the rules of rewards and punishments in detail.

Students, you look at me, I look at you, with solemn expressions, as if you are going to battle.

Li Jizong asked in a low voice, "Is it difficult?"

Sun Qingyue nodded and said, "It's very difficult, the test papers are all questions from the Refining Guild, and many of the questions can't even be answered in the textbook." ”

Li Jizong asked curiously, "Then how many points can you score each time?"

"Normally, it's about seventy. ”

Li Jizong was stunned. Sun Qingyue's grades in the class have always been very high, and even she has such a low score, it can be imagined that it is indeed very difficult. Thinking that he only had the last pitiful two credits left, if he failed the exam, wouldn't he still be expelled from school?

It's really a step by step, and it's all over if you're not careful.

Seeing the sad faces of all the students, Min Rui said with a smile: "Don't worry, the assessment will officially start in another hour, and you still have to prepare for the preview." ”

The students still didn't feel much at ease.

An hour seems like a lot, but the test questions are too difficult, and it's useless to hold on to them.

"The refining process is broad and profound, not limited to the knowledge in the textbook, the teacher often asks you to read more books outside the textbook, if you follow this, you will not be worried now. Look at it, Jiang Qiuhan, he doesn't have such troubles, do you know why?"

All the students looked at Jiang Qiuhan one after another, and sure enough, they saw that he was indifferent and extremely calm.

"Why?"

Although Jiang Qiuhan's grades have always been among the best, he can't guarantee that he can get a high score in every exam. For example, last time, he only scored 63 points, and he was on the verge of deducting points.

Jiang Qiuhan picked up a book and said with a proud smile: "That's because I bought a copy of "Must-Examine Questions for Instrument Mine" in advance. ”

"Must-have exam questions?"

"That's right. Min Rui nodded and said: "This book introduces in detail the characteristics and uses of various unpopular minerals, in addition, the focus is also on the analysis of the types of questions that are very likely to be assessed, with this book, you will not be afraid of those tricky tests issued by the Refining Guild, and it will also be of considerable use to your future entrance assessment." ”

"Why haven't I seen such a good book before?"

"Yes, I also bought a lot of extracurricular books on minerals, but unfortunately I never came out during the exam, so it was a waste of money. ”

"If I had a book like this, my mother wouldn't have to worry about my studies anymore. ”

Who doesn't want to get a better grade in the exam? Suddenly, many students looked at Jiang Qiuhan with envy on their faces and drooled over the books in his hands.

Someone couldn't help but be cheeky and said, "Jiang Qiuhan, can you let me watch it for a while?" ”

Jiang Qiu said coldly: "If you want to see it, buy it yourself." ”

The man said with a bitter face: "At this time, where do you let me buy it, alas!"

Just when the students were depressed, Teacher Min Rui spoke again: "You are all my students, since you all want this book so much, why can't the teacher help you?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and a large stack of books appeared on the podium.

He picked up a book and showed it to everyone. Sure enough, it was exactly the same as the "Required Examination Questions for Instrument Mine" in Jiang Qiuhan's hand.

"Wow!"

There was an uproar in the crowd. A pair of eyes staring at the book with an incredulous gaze. Some people are so excited that they can't wait to go over and grab a copy.

"So much! Did the teacher really give it to us?"

Min Rui nodded and said, "Of course, these books are already difficult to buy on the market, and the teacher finally got them at a great cost by asking for help from friends from the Refining Guild." ”

One student was moved and said, "The teacher is so kind to us. ”

Then a student said: "The teacher is really heartbroken for our learning, and we can't let the teacher suffer, how much money do we buy?"

"Yes, the teacher said a price. ”

Min Rui said "cough" twice and said, "Don't worry, the teacher will never make your money, if you really want it, you will give a cost price of 1,000 star coins." Teachers never buy or sell, everything is voluntary. ”

After the price was quoted, the crowd was silent.

I thought a book would be worth a lot of money, but I didn't expect it to cost so much money. 1,000 Star Coins, for most students, is definitely a lot of money.

"Teacher, I'll buy it!"

Among the students, there are naturally rich children who don't care about this money. Immediately, a student stepped forward and bought a brand new book from Mr. Min Rui.

Someone takes the lead, so there is no worry that no one will follow behind and buy it.

Soon, some well-to-do students came to buy books. Even if some people from ordinary families hesitated, they still gritted their teeth and bought the book back.

Everyone else has bought it, can you not buy it?

When the time comes, everyone else has done well in the exam, but you have plummeted, is it not a shame to be ashamed? Besides, with this reference material, you can also use it when you go on to higher education in the future.

Therefore, with this idea, more and more people are buying the "Must-Examine Questions for Instrument Mine".

Until the end, almost everyone in the entire class had a copy, but Li Jizong did not start. He can understand that this teacher Min Rui is famous for his tests, but he is actually taking advantage of the opportunity to make money. A reference book sells for 1,000 star coins, which is definitely a lot of money in a class. What's more, there is more than one class in the entire academy, so it is a windfall.

Is such a good thing really worthy of being a teacher?

Of course, if this book is really going to be helpful for the assessment, it is worth the money. There is another important reason why Li Jizong did not buy it - there is no money.

This predecessor not only left all kinds of messes for him to wipe his buttocks, but also caused him a lot of difficulties financially.

He checked all the belongings on him, and there were only thirteen star coins left.

"You should preview first, and the exam will start on time when the time comes. After Min Rui finished speaking, he left the classroom. Before leaving, he looked in the direction where Li Jizong was, intentionally or unintentionally.

After the teacher left, all the students did not dare to delay, and all of them seized the time to study on their own.

"Wow! You saw this question in the last exam, if I had this book, I wouldn't be wrong. ”

"This question is the same, if you read the answer last time, you won't be deducted two credits. It seems that this book is really good, I need to memorize it well. ”

After a while, the whole classroom was silent.

Each student holds a book in his hand and carefully memorizes the questions and answers of the reference materials. Only Li Jizong couldn't do anything, so he could only look around.

"Li Jizong, you ...... Didn't buy a book?" Sun Qingyue turned her head to look at Li Jizong, and found that his hands were empty, and asked curiously.

Although her voice was low, she was still heard by many people around her. Hearing that Li Jizong didn't even buy reference materials, they all looked sideways, and their faces showed strange looks.

Sun Qingyue handed over her reference book and said kindly, "Either I'll lend it to you first." ”

"No, I don't. Li Jizong pushed the book away, then stood up and walked around the aisle in style. As he approached his front seat, his eyes suddenly lit up and he walked straight towards the podium.
