When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 545: Chapter 408: Resisting with Heart (4000 words)_2

“Yeah, a grade S score of 631 is much stronger than a grade N score of 732.”

[You received praise from Kangkang, appreciation value +2]

[You received praise from Liu Lan, appreciation value +2]

…

Zhuo Jing took the opportunity to harvest another wave of appreciation value and felt invigorated.

He pretended to be modest and said, “Oh, not at all, you flatter me too much. I’ve already set my goal. As a member of Liangzhou, I plan to stay in Liangzhou and apply to Liangzhou University!”

In fact, his decision to apply to Liangzhou University was a spur-of-the-moment idea. Xiang Beifei’s usual grades were not as good as his, but his score in the college entrance exam had surpassed him, which annoyed him.

He knew that Xiang Beifei’s only chance to apply to a prestigious university was Liangzhou University.

So he would choose Liangzhou University himself!

Xiang Beifei was bound to be eliminated by Liangzhou University during the entrance exam, but his current condition meant whichever prestigious university he chose, he was essentially a prospective student there!

A score of 581 got into Liangzhou University, 732 got rejected.

What a contrast!

As a grade S high achiever, he then appeared even more dazzling!

Many nodded slightly in approval of Zhuo Jing’s words.

Zhuo Jing eyed Xiang Beifei haughtily.

So what if you’re the valedictorian or the top original scorer?

My score of 581 will still crush your future!

It will still steal your limelight!

It will still divert everyone’s attention from you to me!

Jealous, aren’t you?

“Haha! Not only did I complete the system task, but I also overshadowed the valedictorian and earned lots of appreciation value. Awesome!”

Zhuo Jing hummed a little tune in his heart.

Now, it was time to claim the system rewards!

He happily looked at the system interface, at the [Double Appreciation Card] and the [Piercing Strike] cultivation technique, then he clicked [Claim Reward]

One minute later.

“Where’s my system reward?”

Zhuo Jing suddenly petrified on the spot!

“Damn it, system, you’ve swallowed my reward again!”

Zhuo Jing felt dizzy and almost passed out.

——

Although Zhuo Jing was a grade S Awakener, he had only been awakened for two months, and his cultivation was still in the initial phase of Qi-Controlling. Thus, both the [Piercing Strike] and [Double Appreciation Card] were also designed for the initial phase of Qi-Controlling.

Xiang Beifei wouldn’t even care about such rewards, but he accepted them nonetheless.

The reason was simple, delight.

If someone he had no qualms with mistakenly took a reward, he would return it.

To those who treated him well, he would respect them and try his best to help them.

But for those who sought trouble on him, who bullied him upfront, there was no need to be polite!

If he couldn’t use it, he could feed it to a dog!

Xiaohei, being a snowy white little puppy, happily swallowed both items, turning them into Spiritual Qi Crystals and collecting them.

“Damn it, system! Damn it, system!”

Zhuo Jing nearly went mad, still unaware of what had happened, because the system had malfunctioned before, so he still thought it had crashed today. If not for the crowd, he would have cursed his system publicly.

He probably didn’t even realize that his reward had truly ended up in the paws of a little puppy.

——

Because of Zhuo Jing’s words, many no longer envied Xiang Beifei, the school valedictorian, and their attention gradually shifted to other grade S students, which actually relieved Xiang Beifei.

He didn’t like being surrounded by people.

The crowd quickly dispersed, and other school leaders went to congratulate other students. Only Principal Li Nanxing was still there, and his expectation for Xiang Beifei hadn’t lessened at all.

Li Nanxing mentioned the Wilderness Beyond the Domain, and his expression turned serious.

The Wilderness Beyond the Domain is located outside the territory of Jiuzhou, filled with various dangerous and powerful desolate beasts, fierce and terrifying.

The pioneers’ task is to eliminate the desolate beasts in a region and then expand the territory of Jiuzhou, securing more living space for humanity.

This is a rather daunting task because desolate beasts cannot be easily eliminated; instead, the pioneers are more likely to be besieged and killed by the desolate beasts!

This is also why the status of the pioneers is very esteemed—they struggle for the living space of humanity, almost staking their lives on it.

In Jiuzhou, if one’s cultivation has not reached the Meridian Opening Realm, they are generally not allowed to go to the Wilderness Beyond the Domain because for someone at the Qi-Controlling Realm, going there is practically akin to courting death!

“I don’t understand what those people at Liangzhou University are thinking—they actually set up such an admission assessment.”

Li Nanxing spoke discontentedly, clearly displaying the message “Refuse N-level Awakeners from entering the school” for everyone to see.

But he was just a high school principal and had no influence over the affairs of Liangzhou University; no matter how unfair he felt, he couldn’t do anything about it.

“Of course, you don’t need to worry. You haven’t reached the Qi-Controlling phase yet, so the assessment they set for you should be in a simulation training field. Elite universities have simulation training facilities, after all,” Li Nanxing said.

Xiang Beifei fell into deep thought.

An admission assessment, is it to enter the Wilderness Beyond the Domain?

His parents had gone to the Wilderness Beyond the Domain and never returned. What exactly was that place like? He had never been there.

This world is closely related to the Wilderness Beyond the Domain, yet the portion of it Xiang Beifei had seen was still just the tip of the iceberg.

The high school graduation exam results, one by one, came out at Luhe High School. There were those who rejoiced and those who were disappointed, some scored 300 points, others 400 points; each person wore a different expression.

Currently, the highest score is by Shen Yu, who has awakened the [S-rank Scholar God System] and scored 667 without any added points, from Class 1.

At this time, Kong Xiuwen’s results also appeared:

[Kong Xiuwen, S-rank, Language 101, Mathematics 103, Comprehensive 191, Introduction to Defense of Jiuzhou 118, Total 513]

Kong Xiuwen was overjoyed beyond expectation!

“Ah, I scored 500!”

He desperately tugged at his hair. For the sake of scoring 500, he had put all his effort into it, exchanging all the hair he could collect for system rewards to boost his intelligence, finally seeing some returns.

513 plus 50 points, 563 points, securing a place in an elite university was no problem at all!

“Congratulations,” Xiang Beifei said.

“Thanks, I didn’t think I would perform beyond expectations!”

Kong Xiuwen was very excited, but soon he restrained his excitement and asked, “How sure are you? Last time you said we would go to Liangzhou University together. I’ve done it, now it’s your turn! Don’t disappoint me!”

“Let’s wait for the results,” Xiang Beifei said.

“Son, you did it!”

A chubby middle-aged man squeezed through the crowd. His figure was robust, easily pushing through the bustling crowd, and he swept Kong Xiuwen into an excited hug, nearly knocking him over with his round belly.

This was Kong Xiuwen’s father, Kong Daming.

[Host: Kong Daming]

[S-rank, Gluttonous Feast System]

[Realm: Early Meridian Opening]

Kong Daming was in the catering business, his culinary skills were extraordinary, even a simple cabbage could be cooked to make mouths water.

“Dad, keep it down, keep it down.”

Kong Xiuwen covered his belly in pain from the bump, but he couldn’t hide his excitement as his father’s large hands rubbed his head vigorously.

“Hello, Uncle Kong.”

Xiang Beifei greeted politely.

“Haha, good, good, Beifei, it has been a long time since I saw you,” Kong Daming laughed heartily, then turned to greet Xiang Qingde: “Is the old man in good health?”

“Doing well, congratulations, Daming,” Xiang Qingde managed a smile.

“Haha, thank you, thank you. My Xiuwen is promising. By the way, have Beifei’s results come out yet?” Kong Daming asked.

“They should be coming out soon,” Xiang Qingde replied.

Xiang Qingde couldn’t help but recall the paper with only 43 points, sighing internally.

“Beifei, you have to work hard! The two of you have been together since childhood, always in the same class, I hope you can be together in university as well!” Kong Daming said cheerfully.

“Hopefully,” Xiang Qingde could only say, his heart sighing once more. Kong Xiuwen was an S-rank Awakener; scoring 500 and getting into an elite university was practically assured.
