♂?,,
The reward for this task didn't satisfy Xiao Yu, probably because it was too easy, so the reward was much less. There were no new skills rewarded, nor any upgrades to existing skills. The extra determination value obtained might be due to his own efforts in defending against those ladies' harassment at the tea house.
This time Xiao Yu didn't get overexcited, and sure enough, a new task arrived after just one minute.
"Quest Released - Enroll in Zhongtian University within a year. If the quest fails, deduct 100,000 experience points."
Although he had mentally prepared himself, Xiaoyu was still shocked when he heard about his new task.
Having lived in Shanghai for several months, he came into contact with hundreds of people every day. Among the noodle eaters were not a few students, and as they chatted while eating noodles, he also listened to a thing or two on the side.
In Shanghai, Zhongtian University is a well-known name, which is a key university in Shanghai and can almost rival Peking University and Tsinghua University nationwide.
My current cultural foundation is at a primary level, equivalent to that of a junior high school graduate. It's not just about getting into a key university, it's even difficult for me to get into an ordinary high school.
Fortunately, this task has a duration of one year, and the college entrance examination will be held next May, so there is still time. First of all, we need to solve the problem of going to school.
Key middle school is of course not dare to expect, many people sharpened their heads and couldn't get in, but behind this wholesale market, there is an ordinary middle school, Old Zhang asked someone to ask, and immediately stared blankly.
It turned out that just having a Shanghai hukou was not enough, and the original school's introduction letter and student handbook were also required. Old Zhang returned to ask Xiaoyu if he had these things, and Xiaoyu shook his head like a rattle drum. The father and son duo stayed in the room for several nights, thinking about it, and finally decided - to fake them.
This is also a helpless measure, the school does things by the rules, without these materials it's not possible, this can't be solved with money, if you want to take the back door, there must be a back door for you to take.
Teachers in school are not like Old Wang or Fat Policeman, they are intellectuals, although they also love money, but they are more cautious, sending money to their homes out of the blue will scare them.
Moreover, it is said that some middle schools charge tens of thousands of yuan in sponsorship fees when recruiting students. With Xiaoyu and Lao Zhang's current abilities, even selling all their belongings would not be enough.
Lao Zhang boasts that he has a wide range of connections, but when it comes to using them, he's actually quite clueless. As for Xiao Yu, don't even get me started - he's only been in Shanghai for a few months and is still completely disoriented, unable to tell east from west outside of the market area.
Since no one knows each other, we have to follow the rules, and these materials must be prepared.
In the end, Father and son only came up with one solution: to forge documents. After all, in today's society, even CEOs of large companies can get fake doctoral degrees, so what's the big deal about us creating some fake certificates for Xiao Yu to go to school?
To talk about counterfeiting, there is also a master in the wholesale market, that is Xiao Zhou who runs a small second-hand bookstore in the northwest corner.
Xiao Zhou is from Anhui, in his early twenties, clever and handy. This young man made a living by creating fake certificates, starting from Anhui to Shanghai. He rented a small storefront at the northwest corner of the market, openly lending out martial arts, fantasy, and romance novels, but secretly often engraving fake seals, printing fake certificates, and even forging semester-end exam results for students. These were all well-known facts in the market.
Old Zhang and Little Yu have something to look for him. This kid knows that there is a business opportunity, and he ran over eagerly.
The place where things were discussed was at Old Zhang's baozi shop.
"I'm telling you, Little Zhou, Old Zhang has a favor to ask of me today." Old Zhang took two buns from the steamer basket, wrapped them in paper and handed them to Little Zhou.
Xiao Zhou was delighted, took over the package, grabbed a bun and took a big bite, and said with his mouth full, "I'm telling you, Old Zhang, why be so polite? We're all in this together, aren't we? Whatever is your business is my business. Speak up, what do you want me to do?"
Old Zhang pulled Xiao Yu over and said to Xiao Zhou, "My adopted son wants to study here, but he doesn't have the original school's introduction letter and student handbook. Can you make one for him? The price is negotiable, I won't take advantage of you."
Xiao Zhou listened and chuckled, shaking his head and saying, "I'm telling you, Old Zhang, what's the point of going through all that trouble? I can just get a fake PhD diploma from the University of the Pacific for Xiao Yu, and it'll be done. I'm telling you, this is really popular now, many big managers and bosses have one."
Old Zhang swung a slap over, and Little Zhou dodged it with his head lowered.
Old Zhang scolded, "All nonsense! What's the use of my son getting a fake diploma? He should be studying hard and going to school properly!"
Xiao Zhou saw that Lao Zhang was anxious and didn't dare to joke around anymore. After thinking for a moment, he said to Lao Zhang, "Lao Zhang, these two things are really rare, I've never actually handled them before. When I get back, I'll go to the internet cafe and search online to see what the originals look like. Give me three days' time, don't worry, as long as it's something that exists on this earth, I guarantee I can clone a copy."
After finishing speaking, he took his bag and left quickly.
Xiao Yu felt that Xiao Zhou was a bit oily, but what he said sounded fresh to his ears. Especially when Xiao Zhou mentioned 'internet cafe', it made him feel very curious. What is that thing?
Among the people he came into contact with, Guo Shifu and Lao Zhangtou had the closest relationship with him. Guo Shifu's hobby was drinking wine, while Lao Zhangtou's hobby was listening to Beijing Opera on a radio. Neither of these hobbies appealed to Xiaoyu.
Xiao Zhou said that he could go to an internet cafe to find the knowledge he needed, which moved Xiao Yu's heart. What he needs most now is knowledge, all kinds of knowledge.
"Next time Xiao Zhou comes, I must ask him carefully." Xiaoyu made up his mind secretly.
Three days later, Little Zhou mysteriously walked into Xiao Yu's store with a large cowhide envelope.
Old Zhang happened to be there too, and the three of them huddled together, with six eyes fixed on this cowhide envelope.
Xiao Yu knew that what Xiao Zhou had brought out was inside here.
Xiao Zhou smiled and opened the envelope, from which she pulled out a letter and a small booklet.
Xiao Yu's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the letterhead on the paper was written with several big red characters 'Transfer Certificate', below which was a large red seal, while the small booklet had the words 'Student Handbook' written on it.
"I say, Little Zhou, is this what we're looking for?" Old Zhang gazed at the two things in front of him, his eyes filled with doubt.
Xiao Zhou nodded vigorously, "I spent an entire night searching online and reading nearly a hundred documents. After comparing and summarizing, I finally made this. Don't worry, it's exactly the same as the original! Just fill in Xiao Yu's name and it'll be fine."
Old Zhang's eyebrows suddenly relaxed and he patted Xiao Zhou's shoulder with force, laughing loudly, "Kid, you've got some, really a bit clever!"
Xiao Zhou was slapped on the back of his head by Old Zhang, and he said with a mouthful of teeth, "I'm telling you, Old Zhang, these two things cost me a lot of effort. Xiao Yu, look at this..."
Xiao Yu knew that the kid was asking for money, but since he had promised to pay him a fee in the first place, he should keep his word. Moreover, he still needed to ask Xiao Zhou questions and learn from him, so giving him money would make him more willing to teach him wholeheartedly.
Xiaoyu took out three 100-yuan bills from the cash box and stuffed them into Xiaozhou's hand, saying, "Brother Zhou, this is your hard-earned money, see if it's enough?"
Xiao Zhou was secretly delighted and thought to himself, "This little Yu is really generous. Normally, he would only make 50 yuan for doing a fake certificate, but this time he made 300 yuan." He quickly put the money in his pocket and said, "That's enough, that's enough. To be honest, I wouldn't mind doing it for free since we're neighbors and talking about money can damage our relationship."
Old Zhang got annoyed after hearing that and shouted, "This little rabbit, getting money and still showing off, is he looking for a fight?"
Xiao Zhou was so frightened that he trembled all over and didn't dare speak again.
Xiao Yu saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Zhou Ge, what's going on with the internet cafe you mentioned last time? Is there really everything online?"
"Hey, Xiao Yu, nowadays young people who don't know how to use the internet are really rare. You can find anything online, from the President of the United States to... well, you know, and even stuff from all over the world. Even if someone farts in a corner here, it'll be on the internet. There's an internet cafe behind the wholesale market, pretty cheap too. Three bucks an hour during the day, ten bucks for overnight after 10 PM. I usually go for the overnight deal, saves money and is more fun!"
Xiao Yu was moved by Xiao Zhou's words, and after listening to his exaggerated talk, he thought to himself that he would find time to go to the internet cafe to try it out and see what good things were online.

Rainbow Middle School, Teaching Office.
Director Wang held a student handbook in his hand and sized up the father-son pair in front of him.
The father and son looked like they had never seen the world, sitting there awkwardly, their clothes were obviously from street stalls. The old man wore an old-fashioned woolen Zhongshan suit, wiping his sweaty forehead with a large handkerchief.
The young man was wearing a fake sports suit, which definitely wouldn't have cost more than 100 yuan. Director Wang looked at the old man and felt like he had seen him somewhere before, but couldn't quite place him.
Having done student work for over twenty years, Director Wang's eyes are absolutely poisonous. She can see at a glance what the other person's family background is like and whether they have any backing. These two people are obviously ordinary commoners, and they are also very shabby.
Director Wang's eyes widened as he flipped through the student handbook, and this student's grades from freshman to sophomore were actually 100% for every subject. What was going on here?
Watching Director Wang flipping through the student handbook, staring intensely, occasionally glancing at herself, not speaking for a long time, Xiao Yu felt uneasy and couldn't help but use his mind-reading technique on her.
"Object - Director Wang, intermediate mind-reading result: This is too incredible, right? The transfer students I've handled didn't even get 80%, let alone 100%. Could it be fake?"
Xiao Yu secretly cursed in his heart, scolding this Xiao Zhou for not thinking things through before acting. Since he was faking it, why did he still give himself a perfect score? Wasn't that deliberately making people suspicious?
