Chapter 198: Chapter 197: Changing Majors

```

With the teaching materials from Old Yuan, Qu Tong suddenly felt that it was unnecessary to attend more classes from the Pharmaceutical Department.

For the first half of the semester, most of the time was spent studying the basic knowledge of potions.

She had recognized many herbs, but she hadn’t touched on potions at all. First-year students only learned to make intermediate and low-grade nutrient solutions, and it wasn’t until the second year that they would be taught to make low-grade Spirit Power Stabilizing Potions.

As for the high-grade Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion, only a portion of the students in Class A had the opportunity to learn.

And these students almost always joined the Alchemist Association after graduation.

This talent monopoly had been going on for a long time, but neither the schools nor the government could do anything about it.

After all, the Alchemist Association had the right not to teach in schools, and if they directly recruited apprentices, there would be a large number of applicants, many of whom would be willing to pay for the opportunity.

And the tutorial Old Yuan wrote for himself was about the medium-grade Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion and above.

Half a month later, there was a monthly exam, and Qu Tong decided to aim for good grades to see if she could negotiate with her instructor for fewer classes so that she could have the chance to go back to Luyi Star to learn from Old Yuan.

The school points had many uses, one of which was to exchange for a waiver of attendance, but it required 1,000 points per class, which is something ordinary people wouldn’t do.

Except for Qu Tong.

Qu Tong directly exchanged for the exemption of all classes for this week by Zhu Jidan, and then spent five days reviewing all the theory classes from the beginning of the term in the library.

When she had free time, Qu Tong would also go to the Underground Fighting Arena to accompany Xu An in his training.

Xu An and He Zhou have been very busy these few days too, with the agricultural products of Luyi Star flooding the market, and just the sales on the first day approached 5 million.

Qu Tong’s cost of producing fruits and vegetables was very low, but she didn’t wantonly disrupt the market, so the prices remained high.

She just displayed a limited number of special price items in the store and made it clear that the packaging of the specials was plain and the logistics were slow, but this turned out to be a blessing for ordinary families.

Common families didn’t care so much about service and packaging; they only cared whether the Energy Fruits and Vegetables they received were edible.

Many ordinary people who previously couldn’t afford Energy Fruits and Vegetables now had a chance to try their luck, flocking to Qu Tong’s fruit and vegetable store every day to snatch up the products, which also increased the store’s popularity.

This was Ke Jun’s suggestion.

The Imperial Palace and the First Army Corps were also fed at the same time.

Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao also started showing off the Energy Fruit in the group chat, only to find out that everyone had them, which made it feel less special.

After Qu Tong’s confirmation, Liang Ge collected a lot of Moonlight Grass these days and sent them all over.

When Qu Tong had spare time from classes, she would formulate some potions and purify the Moonlight Grass.

She set a time and gave 1,500 Moonlight Grass plants to Liang Ge.

This time there was a contract, and Qu Tong did not go in person; Hua Zai specifically chose a place with surveillance for the transaction.

With 12 million in hand, Liang Ge transferred the money to Qu Tong, recalling the as-black-as-the-bottom-of-a-pot expression of Lan Guofu, and said, "Little sister, I’m going to have to lay low on your Luyi Star for a while."

Qu Tong also understood that she couldn’t pluck from the tiger’s behind a third time.

But 19 million was not a small amount either.

After seeing Liang Ge, Qu Tong returned to the library to study for a while longer before she planned to go back for a meal.

Just as she left the library, she ran into Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao who were arm in arm with Xie Ci, with several others next to them, presumably Xie Ci’s friends.

Showing off in the group chat without achieving any sense of triumph, they went outside, and it was irritating to watch.

Qu Tong tried to pretend she didn’t see them and passed by from the other side of the fountain.

But Fei Wenxing’s sharp eyes spotted her.

"Tong sister!"

The two immediately released Xie Ci and caught up to Qu Tong, not going away but following her back instead.

"Tong sister, no wonder we haven’t seen you around these days, it turns out you’ve been hiding in the library."

"Yeah, we didn’t see you in Zhu Jidan’s class and thought you had graduated early," Cheng Yao joked.

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow, "Is it possible to graduate early?"

Cheng Yao scratched the back of his head, "Hehe, not possible for the Pharmaceutical Department."

Qu Tong: "Other departments can?"

```

Fei Wenxing jumped at the chance: "Just go with our Mecha Single Soldier Department."

Qu Tong grew interested—it seemed like their school allowed department transfers.

Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao saw Qu Tong’s question and explained what they knew.

The Mecha Single Soldier Department mainly assessed strength; as long as one’s strength was sufficient and their theoretical courses weren’t lacking, they could graduate early.

To graduate early from the Mecha Single Soldier Department, one simply needed to take part in the practical and theoretical exams of the higher years.

There were three practical courses: Mech Combat, Close Combat, and Marksmanship.

And three theoretical courses: Military Theory, History, and Politics and Law.

Scoring above 90 in all was considered passing.

Once passed, there was no need for regular attendance—just returning for midterms and finals would suffice, and after three years without violations or offences, a graduation certificate would be issued.

However, transferring departments was extremely difficult; one had to have good enough grades and performance to gain the approval and signatures of all tutors in the department before it could finally be reported to the principal.

Upon hearing these conditions, Qu Tong knew it was a no-go.

"Tong, you aren’t seriously thinking about transferring departments, are you? You can’t even pilot a mecha," Fei Wenxing asked, puzzled.

Qu Tong didn’t explain much to the two of them.

After returning to her dormitory, she sent a message to Si Yuting.

Having confirmed Si Yuting was available, she initiated a video call.

"Your Highness, did you miss me?" Qu Tong was as proactive as ever.

Si Yuting, through the projection, looked at Qu Tong’s bright and comforting smile, lightly raised his eyebrows, and did not reply right away.

Qu Tong didn’t mind and went straight to the point: "Your Highness, do you remember owing me a favor from last time?"

Si Yuting nodded.

"Have you thought about it? What do you want?"

Leaning closer to the camera, Qu Tong smiled playfully, "I want to transfer to the Mecha Single Soldier Department, Your Highness."

Si Yuting frowned slightly: "I’m afraid that’s not possible."

Qu Tong felt somewhat disappointed—Si Yuting’s intervention wouldn’t work?

"Because of the tutors from the Alchemist Association?"

Si Yuting uttered a confirming "Hmm."

"Alright then," Qu Tong quickly let go, "I’ll come up with another request next time."

Si Yuting pondered for a moment before asking, "Why do you want to transfer to the Mecha Single Soldier Department?"

"I heard they allow early graduation."

Si Yuting hadn’t expected that to be the reason.

Drumming his long fingers on the desk, Si Yuting said, "You can dual major, with Mecha Single Soldier as the primary department, but it will be very tough."

Qu Tong’s eyes sparkled anew: "Are there any requirements?"

"Finish first in the Pharmaceutical Department’s final cumulative scores."

Qu Tong knew it wouldn’t be easy.

But she had checked—the first-year finals were mostly theoretical knowledge, something she was good at.

"Okay, I’ll contact you after the finals."

Although Qu Tong was cautious, Si Yuting clearly saw her confidence.

Si Yuting also shared with Qu Tong what Jiang Zhou had mentioned to him earlier that day and reminded her to be wary of Sai Pu.

Had Qu Tong not sought him out, he would’ve reached out to her after class in the afternoon.

When Qu Tong heard that the wounds Xiong Lie sustained from Sai Pu could not be healed by the healing chamber,

she suddenly thought of the small cut she had seen on Si Yuting’s hand before.
