Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Which Is More Valuable?

Upon hearing Director Li’s words, Principal Qian gritted his teeth and then said:

“If he doesn’t score 700, you’ll receive my resignation letter!”

After saying this, Principal Qian took a deep breath, thinking to himself, ‘Lin Yi, oh Lin Yi, whether I can keep my job all depends on you, kid!’

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Director Li smiled contentedly:

“Alright, I’ll remember what you said. Rest assured, if Lin Yi truly scores over 700, Third Middle School will become a focus of our development in the next two years! On top of the experimental building you applied for, we will expand the area and at least build two additional teaching and office buildings!”

With Director Li’s promise, Principal Qian was also relieved.

Watching Lin Yi about to walk out of the school gate on the monitor, Director Li picked up the phone on his desk and made a call:

“Lao Liu, Lin Yi is out, have someone clear the way.”

Seeing how worried Director Li was about Lin Yi’s safety, Principal Qian couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Both of them had placed their careers on Lin Yi’s shoulders.

If the island produced the top scorer for the college entrance exam, then the island’s projects reported to the province would be even more substantial!

…

As for Lin Yi, unlike yesterday, as soon as he stepped out of the school gate and before he could leave the security perimeter for the exam, the captain who had escorted him in the morning appeared beside him again with his team.

“Haha, kid, you’re out early again today after finishing the exam?”

Seeing the old acquaintance, Lin Yi greeted him with a smile:

“Haha, yes, I finished and had nothing to do, so I came out. It’s too stuffy inside the exam hall. What about you, are you on duty here?”

However, upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Captain Liu rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, what does he mean by being on duty here? We’re the special police team; how could we be performing regular duty work here? We’re specifically waiting for you, kid, alright…

“Haha, sort of. Come on, let’s get you out of here first.”

Saying this, he felt a bit speechless inside, ‘This kid really knows how to cause a stir. Taking an exam and turning into a “celebrity” across Huaxia.’

Lin Yi wasn’t foolish. Seeing Captain Liu’s posture and the intention to escort him out, he immediately understood that this was just like in the morning, ensuring his safety again~

Given the situation, Lin Yi felt a bit embarrassed because being escorted by so many people for his own safety made him hesitant to leave.

So he smiled wryly, “Well, never mind, I won’t go out then, to avoid bothering you. But can you bring my car in? I can take a nap in the car and it’ll be easier to go out once the exams are over.”

After asking the question, Captain Liu hesitated for a moment, then said:

“I’ll have to ask for permission. Normally, external vehicles aren’t allowed inside the exam area.”

“Alright, thank you. But rest assured, the car will be parked just inside the gate, where it can’t be seen from outside, so we won’t trouble you when I leave later.”

What Lin Yi said was true; glancing outside, besides the parents, the long lenses and flashing cameras made it clear that once he stepped out, he would be completely surrounded.

Captain Liu nodded and went to make a call. It wasn’t long before he returned and extended his hand to Lin Yi:

“Give me the car key. They’ve agreed to let it in, but it must stay within the designated area.”

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then fished out the car key from his pocket and handed it over.

But as soon as Captain Liu got the car key, he couldn’t help but chuckle:

“Haha, I forgot your car is a luxury vehicle. Xiao Liu, you’re a good driver, go get it. Just make sure not to scratch it!”

“Oh, don’t worry about it, a car is just a car. If it gets scratched, I’ll just have it repaired.”

Lin Yi genuinely wasn’t too concerned, not to mention this car only cost him fifty thousand yuan and a system disassembly and reconstruction. In his current view, a car worth millions isn’t even worth much.

The young officer named Xiao Liu didn’t show any expression on his face upon hearing the captain’s words, he just walked over, took the car key, and headed out.

Come on, a five-million-yuan car might be expensive, but each of our armored vehicles is valued at over a million, aren’t they?

Seeing Xiao Liu leaving, Lin Yi simply turned back and went into the school with Captain Liu.

Meanwhile, the journalists outside, who had set up their cameras to shoot Lin Yi, were left in astonishment. What’s going on? Why did Lin go back in?

Originally, they were pleased to see school loser Lin emerge early from the exam room again, feeling lucky to have material to report today.

But due to the security line, they couldn’t get in, and now Lin had gone back inside; isn’t that just frustrating?

Once his car was driven into the designated area and parked, Lin Yi thanked Captain Liu and others, then got into the car.

The reason he wanted in was entirely to seize the time to disassemble and reconstruct that piece of jade from the System Space.

After confirming there were no cameras pointing inside the car, Lin Yi felt relieved.

To be absolutely safe, he clicked the car lock, reclined the seat to lie down, and started calling the system in his mind:

“System, can we disassemble and reconstruct now? I want to take out that piece of jade and have it disassembled and reconstructed.”

With Lin Yi’s thoughts, the system in his mind immediately responded:

[Answering the master’s question, the system can perform disassembly and reconstruction anytime, anywhere. Would the master like to extract the item from the Space?]

“Yes, extract it. Oh, by the way, system, didn’t you say it could upgrade or downgrade the item for more value? Which option would be more lucrative?”

Recalling the system’s previous response, Lin Yi decided to inquire further.

[Sorry, the system can only disassemble, reconstruct, and appraise items, but it cannot assess their economic value in the master’s world.]

This answer was as good as nothing, and Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. However, he wasn’t in a hurry and simply picked up his phone to make a call:

“Brother Zhuang, I need to consult you on something. What do you think is more valuable, a hundred grams of high-ice jade or four hundred grams of icy-glutinous jade?”

[To be continued….]

ps: Brothers, the college entrance exam plot is about to end soon, so don’t worry. School loser Lin, having been called that for so long, it’s time for everyone to be astonished.
