Chapter 152 I Want to Take the College Entrance Examination
Chen Yifan drank the still-warm bone broth in one gulp.
My stomach feels warm and cozy.
But the chill emanating from Lin Sen still lingered deep within his soul, impossible to dispel.
He lives alone.
There were sticky notes on the table.
They said they went to the amusement park.
Since my younger sister regained her sight, she wants to go out for a walk every day.
Looking at the sticky note in my hand, I saw a cartoon image of a family of three drawn on it.
A warm smile appeared on Chen Yifan's face.
Don't say it!
Xiaoxue's drawing is really good.
He went back upstairs, took out his phone, and hovered his fingertip over Zhou Dehai's number.
He was not seeking asylum.
Only the weak seek refuge.
The college entrance examination is the day after tomorrow.
That day was also the last day Lin Sen left him.
Although he had already handed over the items quietly.
But who knows if the other person will even show up on that day?
What if I change my mind...
It's a good opportunity to take a break during the college entrance exam.
He pressed the dial button.
The call was answered almost instantly after it rang for the first time.
There was complete silence on the other end of the receiver.
Then came a loud "bang," like a piece of precious porcelain being accidentally broken.
Then came a flurry of activity, a cacophony of noise, and suppressed gasps.
"Chen, Chen Yifan?"
Zhou Dehai's voice came through, completely distorted by excessive excitement, even carrying a barely perceptible tremor.
The tone was like that of a traveler who had been without water for three days in the desert and had finally seen an oasis.
"it's me."
Chen Yifan's voice was as calm as a deep pool of water.
"Principal Zhou, I've been dealing with some personal matters these past few days."
"I understand! I completely understand!"
Zhou Dehai's voice suddenly became ten times more enthusiastic, and in the background, you could even hear him growling at others to be quiet.
"Geniuses, it's normal for them to have a few secrets!"
"Chen, you're calling me because you have some new ideas about the special admissions? Don't worry, I guarantee you the admission letter from Wuhan University in Longdu—it's yours for life!"
"It wasn't a special admission."
Chen Yifan interrupted his rambling.
"I'm going to take the college entrance exam the day after tomorrow."
"..."
There was another ten-second silence on the other end of the phone.
A student who has been exceptionally admitted to the country's top university with an SSS-level rating.
Why would they turn back and squeeze onto the single-plank bridge of the college entrance exam with ordinary candidates?
"Take...the college entrance exam?"
Zhou Dehai's voice was extremely dry, as if he were afraid that he was hallucinating.
"Chen, why...why are you doing this? Are you going to the exam hall to experience life?"
"You could say that."
Chen Yifan went along with him, speaking casually.
"After all, it's a once-in-a-lifetime event. I also want to see where I stand among this year's test takers. Just consider it... going for fun."
"Okay, okay! It's just for fun! Fun is fine!"
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Dehai suddenly burst into laughter that was completely different from his usual style. The volume was so loud that Chen Yifan subconsciously moved the phone away from him.
Play?
This is no joke!
Having been immersed in the education system for many years, Zhou Dehai's brain, after a three-second pause, was instantly ignited by immense ecstasy!
This is an overwhelming fortune!
Who is Chen Yifan now?
A city hero of Jiangcheng!
The SSS-level legend specially recruited by Longdu Martial Arts University!
A legend who helped the authorities kill the Hundred Demons, yet miraculously survived.
His decision to take the college entrance examination was itself a nuclear bomb dropped on the national public opinion field!
When all the media's cameras and microphones are pointed at the examination room, what will they capture?
They photographed Chen Yifan, a student from Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School, wearing the school uniform and sitting in the examination room!
This is a hundred times more effective than any other recruitment method!
"Chen! Your awareness is truly remarkable! You haven't forgotten your roots, nor the nurturing you received from your alma mater!"
Zhou Dehai's voice was choked with sobs, and he was so excited that he was incoherent.
"On behalf of all the teachers and students of No. 1 High School, thank you! I assure you, the special admission spot is guaranteed for you!"
"Even if you get a zero, the gates of Longdu Wuhan University will always be open for you! Just relax and have fun! The exam hall is your playground!"
"There's one more thing."
Chen Yifan rubbed his ears, which were still numb from the shock.
"Send me a document with the highest level of authority detailing the specific procedures and requirements for the college entrance examination."
"No problem! I'll have the dean of academic affairs send you the S-level encrypted file right away!"
The phone hangs up.
Within thirty seconds, an encrypted file was accurately transmitted to Chen Yifan's phone.
At the same time, Zhou Dehai immediately dialed the phone number of Zhao Lixin, the director of the Education Bureau.
At the same time, Chen Yifan glanced at the document that had been sent to him.
[Detailed Rules for the Selection Examination (College Entrance Examination) for Advanced Professionals in China (Level S)]
Section 1: Cultural Overview. 100 points total.
The content covers topics such as "Ancient Warfare History", "Beast Genealogy", "Psionic Waveform Theory", and "Professional Tactical Psychology"...
This threshold filters out the brutes who only have muscles but no brains.
Chen Yifan's gaze swept over them.
For him, those 100 points were simply a piece of cake.
The second item: Level/Talent Assessment. Maximum score: 100.
Once candidates enter the "Psychic Detection Chamber," their talents and levels will be precisely quantified into scores.
The passing score for F-level is 60 points, and the score increases with each level. S-level talent can directly approach the maximum score.
That's what he needs to think about.
The "F-level thief" persona has been discontinued.
If the "S-rank Shadow Overlord" is fully exposed, it will inevitably lead to the connection between him and the stolen job change cards from the Qilin Group, causing unnecessary trouble.
The job name must be hidden.
But the S-level rating must be confirmed!
He needs an officially recognized, undisputed "genius" status.
An identity that the country is willing to invest resources to protect, and one that makes someone like Lin Sen, who lives in the shadows, hesitant to act rashly.
Otherwise, his current status as a "hero promoted by the authorities" is too low in value and too fragile to be easily defeated.
The third item: Comprehensive practical application. Full marks: 400.
All candidates will be placed into a huge simulated copy map.
Although each year is different, they are all roughly the same.
Candidates need to hunt exotic beasts, compete for resource points, and complete random tasks to earn points.
A cold smile curved at the corners of Chen Yifan's lips.
This was not an exam room for him.
It's a hunting ground.
He put away his phone and, without the slightest hesitation, sent a message to Wang Fugui.
Concise and concise.
"Bring Lin Xiaoyu to my house, right now."
Half an hour later, Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu reappeared at the door, panting.
Clearly, they arrived without a second's delay after receiving the text message.
"Fanzi, what's the rush? We were just about to run another dungeon."
Wang Fugui's honest face was full of confusion.
Is there something that can't be explained over the phone?
Chen Yifan didn't say anything, but pointed to the sofa in the living room and projected the college entrance examination materials directly into the air.
"The college entrance exam is the day after tomorrow. Are you confident?"
Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu exchanged a glance, their eyes showing the same resolute determination.
"You have to have confidence, even if you don't!"
Wang Fugui slapped his chest, causing his newly scabbed wound to bleed again.
"Xiaoyu and I agreed that even if we had to bite, we'd bite our way down the threshold of Wuhan University!"
"Brother Fan," Lin Xiaoyu's voice was soft, yet like a nail, "we don't want to be a burden to you!"
Chen Yifan looked at them and nodded.
"In that case, the college entrance examination consists of three parts: academic subjects, grade assessment, and practical skills."
"In real-world practice, with me here, I can train you to perfection."
Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu's eyes instantly lit up.
"Fanzi, are you also taking the college entrance exam?"
But Chen Yifan nodded, and his next words caused the light to dim.
"However, I can't help with the first two items, which total 200 points."
His gaze swept over the two of them, calm to the point of being cruel.
"You'll have to work your way up in academic subjects, page by page, on your own."
"Your talents are not outstanding. If you want to get high scores in the ranking assessment, you have to work your life up to the next level."
"I can force you into Wuhan University, but whether you can stand firm there and keep up with me ultimately depends on yourselves."
He can pave the way for them and cut through the thorns for them.
But he cannot walk that path for them.
but……
Level 25…
This should be able to make up for the gap in professional level.
Wang Fugui's breathing became heavy, and he clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Lin Xiaoyu lowered her head, her trembling shoulders revealing the turmoil in her heart.
After a long while, Wang Fugui raised his head, and for the first time, a smile that was almost fierce appeared on his honest face.
"Fanzi, don't worry."
"For academic subjects, I've been dreaming about memorizing the monster encyclopedia for over a week! I want to be able to recite that thing from memory!"
"As for levels..." He grinned, like a lion cub showing its fangs, "Hey, just one more bar of experience and I'll be level 26, a little faster than Xiaoyu!"
Lin Xiaoyu also raised her head, her eyes red-rimmed, but her gaze was frighteningly bright.
"Brother Fan, I'll show you my worth!"
Chen Yifan looked at the even more frenzied flames that had reignited in their eyes and finally smiled.
"Alright, go back to your book."
Chen Yifan waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
"Don't die in the dungeon in the last two days, it's not worth it."
He emphasized the word "death" with extreme force.
The reason he insisted on calling the two of them back was...
The main reason is that there are only two days left until the college entrance examination. Even if I desperately play the game and level up again, it won't have a big impact on my total score.
Why not take advantage of the remaining time and focus on academic subjects?
"Fanzi/Fan-ge, we understand!"
The two nodded emphatically, turned and left, their backs resolute and determined.
……
Two days later, it will be the day of the college entrance examination in Jiangcheng.
The entire city resembled a tightly wound, precise machine, solemn and dignified.
A fleet of buses, escorted by police hovercraft, drove toward the giant egg-shaped building in the city center—the Jiangcheng First Comprehensive Gymnasium.
Outside the stadium, the crowds were as vast as the sea.
The media, with their long lenses and short cannons, formed a steel jungle, aiming at the entrance.
When the bus from Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School arrived, the flashbulbs on site went off instantly, making it as bright as day.
All the cameras were fixed on the car door that was about to open.
Su Qingxue, dressed in a sharp combat uniform, was the first to get out of the car, her aloof and ethereal aura eliciting a murmur of surprise.
Immediately afterwards, the top students from No. 1 High School filed out.
However, the reporters' cameras remained motionless.
They are waiting.
Waiting for that legend.
"Is the information accurate? Will he really come?"
"Yeah, almost everyone on the bus got off. Ugh, I was so stupid. They've already been specially admitted, why would they come to take the college entrance exam..."
"Since we're already here, let's wait a little longer..."
As soon as he finished speaking, under everyone's gaze...
A slightly thin boy, dressed in the most ordinary school uniform, walked down the street yawning and looking sleepy.
He rubbed his messy hair, squinted, and became somewhat impatient with the blinding flashlight.
His face held just the right amount of bewilderment.
It's as if it's asking: What are you filming so early in the morning?
that moment.
The entire square was completely silent.
It's him!
Chen Yifan!
That Jiangcheng hero who, with his F-level talent, was specially recruited by Wuhan University due to his SSS-level evaluation, and created a legend!
He really came!
