When system cheat becomes rampant!

"Things are going well; congratulations, Daming," Xiang Qingde forced a smile and said.

"Haha, thank you, thank you! My Xiuwen has become promising. By the way, has Xiaofei's score come out yet?" Kong Daming asked.

"It should be out soon."

Xiang Qingde couldn't help but think of that test score of 43 again and quietly sighed.

"Xiaofei, you have to work hard! You two grew up playing together and have always been in the same class; I hope you can go to university together too!" Kong Daming said cheerfully.

"Hopefully."

Xiang Qingde could only say that, but he sighed again in his heart. Compared to Kong Xiuwen, an S-grade Awakener with the prospect of getting into an elite university with a mere 500 points, Xiang Beifei, an N-grade, performed so poorly...

"Haha, that's great! To celebrate this excellent performance of my son, I won't do business tonight and will prepare a celebration banquet especially for you. Old man, you should come too!"

Kong Daming used to be an old classmate of Xiang Tianxing; after Tianxing had the accident, he often took care of the grandfather and grandson, always telling them that they would not be charged for meals at his restaurant.

However, Xiang Qingde and his family rarely went. Although their income was not high, they did not want to eat for free. Kong Daming was aware of this, so he changed his approach and often sent some meat to Xiang Qingde's house for them to cook themselves.

To avoid giving Xiang Qingde a psychological burden, he symbolically charged them the price of vegetables. Recently, during Xiang Beifei's college entrance exam period, all the nourishing ingredients Qingde bought were from Daming.

"Congratulations, congratulations! Well done, Xiuwen, I always said you had potential!"

Yang Hua appeared just in time and loudly praised Kong Xiuwen; Xiuwen had also brought him a teacher's prestige value of 563, which was a significant addition to his earnings!

Kong Xiuwen was not fond of Yang Hua; before he awakened his system, he and Xiang Beifei were both subjects of criticism. After his awakening to the S-grade system, Yang Hua's attitude toward him dramatically changed.

Kong Xiuwen was an upright person and did not like people like Yang Hua.

But Kong Daming was unaware of these details. With a teacher offering congratulations, he naturally had to be polite: "Haha, thank you, Professor Yang, and we should thank you for your cultivation of him!"

"Not at all, not at all. I had seen from the start that Kong Xiuwen was a student full of potential, destined to achieve greatness. I am not surprised at all by his accomplishments," Yang Hua said with a smile.

Kong Xiuwen rolled his eyes on the side.

Cultivation my ass! His high score was entirely due to the help of his system and his own late-night studies; it had nothing to do with Yang Hua.

If he hadn't awakened an S-grade system, Yang Hua would probably be singing a different tune.

'Opportunist' is probably a good way to describe such people.

Yang Hua glanced at Xiang Qingde and his grandson, then said to Kong Daming, "An excellent student should be like Kong Xiuwen, diligent and hard-working, not complacent. But the company one keeps is very important. Excellent people should be with even more excellent people. I told Xiuwen this from the beginning."

Kong Daming, usually busy with his business, didn't quite understand Yang Hua's meaning and asked, "What do you mean, Professor Yang?"

"Oh, nothing much, just speaking my mind. With the current achievements of Xiuwen, getting into an elite university is no problem. He will be able to be with even more outstanding people in the future. Your son definitely has a bright future. Congratulations! I need to check the scores of other students, so I won't disturb your father-son celebration," said Yang Hua.

Yang Hua waved his hand, not bothering to pay any more attention to Xiang Qingde and Xiang Beifei, effectively ignoring them.

"Don't take that guy's words to heart; you can definitely do it," Kong Xiuwen came over to cheer Xiang Beifei up.

But deep down, Kong Xiuwen also felt unsure. It wasn't hard for him to get into an elite university, but for Xiang Beifei, the difficulty was significant. Up to now, he didn't know how much Xiang Beifei had improved.

Xiang Beifei didn't explain much, but Xiang Qingde became increasingly uncomfortable after hearing Yang Hua's words.

Xiang Beifei looked at Wang Dan, pondering silently.

The assessment system of the world of systems might be just, but it was not fair.

The nine elite universities were not friendly toward N-grade Awakeners. Not only did N-grades receive no extra points and faced high thresholds for elite universities, but they also had to pass special admission assessments. Except for Liangzhou University, the other eight elite universities even directly refused them.

If it were an S or R grade, a score of 601 would be more than enough to get into one of the nine elite universities, even Kong Xiuwen with a score of 513 got in.

But the world of the system is special, with its own rules for survival. To live better in this world, system talent is extremely important, as high-grade talent Awakeners complete system tasks faster, which is an indisputable fact.

Special schools have special admission requirements, which is actually quite normal and applicable everywhere. For example, clinical medicine does not allow those with infectious diseases, and those with speech impediments are not suitable for teacher training programs.

The nine elite universities need to cultivate the top talents of the Jiuzhou Alliance and reserve talents for the alliance, so it's reasonable to have higher selection criteria.

After all, in this world, academic scores are only a reference, and what is decisive is the system talent.

Yang Hua was happily counting his teacher prestige value; most of the student scores from his class were out, and currently, the one with the highest score in the class was not the S-grade Zhuo Jing, but Wang Dan who had awakened to an N-grade Flower Cultivation System!

She scored 601!

Wang Dan looked excited too, her system being Flower Cultivation, so she planned to apply for agricultural and forestry universities.

"Good, not bad! Very good!"

Yang Hua congratulated Wang Dan loudly.

He was all smiles, treating Wang Dan very kindly, having gained another 601 teacher prestige points from her.

However, many remembered that two months after her Awakening System, Yang Hua had neglected Wang Dan, even moving her seat to the back of the classroom, and he seemed impatient when she asked questions during class.

Just because Wang Dan was an N-grade Awakener.

But Yang Hua didn't care about these things; as long as they brought him profits, it was all good, and he could be lavish in his praise with no problem turning his attitude a full 180 degrees.

"This child, I hope she can achieve something in the future! Although she's only N-grade, her genes come from Xiang Tianxing. The prospects of being admitted to Liangzhou University this year seem bleak, but let's see if there's hope next year or the year after."

Li Nanxing did not expect Xiang Beifei to bring him any prestige value; to be honest, he thought that counting on Xiang Beifei for a boost of prestige was less promising than relying on those S-grade students.

But the reason he came to encourage Xiang Beifei was mostly because of Xiang Tianxing.

The day Xiang Beifei came to his office to consult about the system school selection, Li Nanxing seemed to see Xiang Tianxing's shadow in him.

Just then, a voice came from the side: "Professor Yang, how can you belittle a student like that?"

Li Nanxing came over from the crowd, looking at Yang Hua with a serious expression.

"Principal."

Seeing Li Nanxing, Yang Hua's proud demeanor hesitated, and he quickly put on a smile to greet him.

Li Nanxing was also there to check on the students' scores, a matter of such importance that he, as the principal, naturally could not be absent. But he couldn't help speaking out after inadvertently hearing the conversation.

"As a teacher, one should teach without discrimination, seek out each student's strengths, and not casually pigeonhole a student. In front of other parents, you demeaned their child; is this something a teacher should do?"

Li Nanxing rebuked.

Yang Hua dared not reply, but in his heart, he was still dismissive.

—Xiang Beifei, a student like that, what strengths could he possibly have? I merely spoke the truth; he simply can't get into college.

Li Nanxing turned with an apologetic face to Xiang Qingde and said, "I'm sorry, Professor Yang was just speaking out of anxiety waiting for the scores. As the principal, it's my negligence for not managing my own staff properly. I apologize to you; don't take it to heart."

"Not at all."

Xiang Qingde was somewhat flattered; he knew Principal Li Nanxing was at least a Meridian Opening stage person, high in both cultivation and status. For such a person to apologize to him was truly rare.
