Chapter 411: Means of Heart-to-Heart Talk (4000 words)
(Modified at 5:50 AM)
When Li Nanxing mentioned the outer wilderness, his expression became serious.
The outer wilderness, beyond the territories of Jiuzhou, was filled with various dangerous and powerful desolate beasts, ferocious and terrifying.
The task of the pioneers was to eliminate the desolate beasts in a region and then expand the territory of Jiuzhou, securing more living space for humanity.
This was a daunting task, as desolate beasts were not so easily eliminated. Instead, pioneers were more likely to be surrounded and killed by them!
This was why the profession of a pioneer held such a high status; they fought for human living space, almost as though their lives hung by their belts.
In Jiuzhou, if one had not reached the Meridian Opening Realm, they were generally not allowed to go to the outer wilderness, because for those in the Qi-Controlling Realm, going to the outer wilderness was akin to courting death!
"I don't understand what those people at Liangzhou University were thinking. They actually set up such an entrance examination,"
Li Nanxing said discontentedly, clearly indicating that this was a way to signal "refusing N-level Awakeners at the school."
But he was just a high school principal and could not influence the affairs of Liangzhou University, and as unfair as he felt it was, he could do nothing about it.
"Of course, you don't need to worry. You are not yet in the Qi-Controlling stage, so the test they have set for you should be in the simulation training field. Elite universities have simulation training facilities, that's what they would do," Li Nanxing said.
Xiang Beifei fell into deep thought.
The entry examination, was it to enter the outer wilderness?
His parents had gone to the outer wilderness and then had never returned. He had never been to that place himself.
This world was closely related to the outer wilderness, yet what Xiang Beifei had seen so far was still just the tip of the iceberg.
The scores for Luhe High School's college entrance exam students were released one by one. Some were happy, some were dejected. There were scores of 300, and scores of 400; everyone had a different expression.
The current highest scorer, named Shen Yu, had awakened the [S-level Scholar God System], and scored 667 points without extra credits, from class one.
At this time, Kong Xiuwen's results also came out:
[Kong Xiuwen, S-level, Language Arts 101, Mathematics 103, Comprehensive Subjects 191, Introduction to Defense of Jiuzhou 118, Total 513]
Kong Xiuwen was ecstatic!
"Ah, I scored 500 points!"
He desperately pulled his own hair, having striven these days to reach 500 points, even exchanging all the fallen hair he had collected for rewards from the intelligence-enhancing system; finally, it paid off.
513 plus 50 points, 563 points. Getting into an elite university was totally no problem!
"Congratulations," Xiang Beifei said.
"Thanks, I didn't expect to perform beyond my expectations!"
Kong Xiuwen was extremely excited, but quickly suppressed his excitement and asked, "How confident are you? Last time, you said we should go to Liangzhou University together. I have done my part, and now I am waiting for you! You have to live up to my expectations!"
"Let's talk when the results come out," Xiang Beifei said.
"My boy, you did it!"
A chubby middle-aged man squeezed through the crowd. His figure was sturdy, directly pushing through the crowd, and excitedly embraced Kong Xiuwen, his round belly almost knocking Kong Xiuwen over.
This was Kong Xiuwen's father, Kong Daming.
[Host: Kong Daming]
[S-level, Gluttonous Feast System]
[Realm: Early Meridian Opening]
Kong Daming was in the catering business, his culinary skills were divine, he could even make a simple cabbage dish irresistible.
"Dad, show some restraint, some restraint,"
Kong Xiuwen covered his belly which was hurt from the collision, but he could hardly hide his excitement, allowing his father's huge palms to rub all over his head.
"Uncle Kong, hello."
Xiang Beifei greeted politely.
"Haha, hello hello, Xiaofei, I haven't seen you in a long time," Kong Daming said merrily laughing, turning his head to greet Xiang Qingde, "How's the old man doing?"
"He's doing well, congratulations, Daming," Xiang Qingde said with a forced smile.
"Haha, thank you, thank you. My Xiwen has made us proud. By the way, have Xiaofei's results come out yet?" Kong Daming asked.
"They should be out soon,"
Xiang Qingde couldn't help but think of that 43-point paper and sighed silently.
"Xiaofei, you need to work harder! You two have played together since childhood, have always been in the same class, and I hope you can go to university together too!" Kong Daming said cheerily.
"Hopefully,"
Xiang Qingde could only say that much, sighing inwardly again. Kong Xiuwen was an S-level Awakener, and scoring 500 points allowed him to enter any elite university, but Xiang Beifei was rated N-level, and his scores were poor...
"Haha, that's great! To celebrate my son's excellent results, I'm closing the business tonight to prepare a celebration feast. Old man, you guys should come too!"
Kong Daming used to be classmates with Xiang Tianxing, and since the accident, he often took care of the grandfather and grandson, always telling them that eating at his restaurant was free.
However, Xiang Qingde's family rarely accepted, although their income was not high, they did not like to accept handouts. Kong Daming was aware of this, so he changed his approach, often sending meat to Xiang Qingde's home for them to cook themselves.
In order not to make Xiang Qingde feel obliged, he symbolically charged a minimal cost for the meals. Recently, during Xiang Beifei's college entrance exam period, the nourishing ingredients Xiang Qingde bought were all from Kong Daming.
"Congratulations! Great, Kong Xiuwen, I knew you had a bright future!"
