Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Takeoff
"The first person's results are out!"
Everyone looked towards the honor roll, and those who couldn't see it turned to the large screen temporarily set up by the school.
[Wu Qi, Level N, Chinese 110, Math 124, Comprehensive 209, Introduction to Defense of Jiuzhou 108, Total 551]
For a Level N student, this score, even if not good enough for one of the nine elite universities, was still good enough for a reputable standard university – quite a commendable achievement.
The student named Wu Qi was also very excited. Although he was at Level N, his score was not bad, and he could pick and choose from universities other than the nine elite ones.
[Liu Ke, Level R, Chinese 90, Math 104, Comprehensive 201, Introduction to Defense of Jiuzhou 111, Total 506]
Even as a Level R, his scores weren't better than the Level N Wu Qi's.
...
Soon, a string of names popped up one after another, and everyone craned their necks eagerly, watching for their own results with hope.
At this moment, Zhuo Jing's results also came out!
[Zhuo Jing, Level S, Chinese 112, Math 113, Comprehensive 241, Introduction to Defense of Jiuzhou 115, Total 581]
Zhuo Jing was ecstatic!
As a Level S Awakener, adding 50 points to this score made it 631 points!
Getting into any one of the nine elite universities was now a sure thing!
"Great! I knew I wasn't wrong about you, Zhuo Jing!"
Yang Hua was even more excited than Zhuo Jing!
[Your student Zhuo's college entrance exam score is 631 points, your teacher prestige value +631]
[Current teacher prestige value: 14130/40000]
This was what Yang Hua wanted!
Why did he value college entrance exam scores so much? Because his system was crystal clear about it during the annual release of exam results!
For each student's score, that was how many teacher prestige points he would gain!
This was much more substantial than scolding students on a normal day!
There were fifty-two students in his class, and if every student averaged 500 points, that would add 26,000 points to his total!
So he wished they would score as many points as possible!
And then there were students like Xiang Beifei, who scored a mere two or three hundred – it was simply intolerable.
If they were to repeat the year, the system points for the next year would be halved, scoring 200 meant adding only 100, and there were limited spots for repeat students, so he would rather reserve these spots for those who could score high, rather than for someone like Xiang Beifei!
"The class leader is too impressive!"
"Oh my God! The class leader's raw score is 581! I've hit the jackpot! What an auspicious number!"
"Jackpot! Hooray, take off!"
"Take off! Take off! Congratulations to our class leader!"
Countless praises chorused, ringing endlessly in his ears.
Zhuo Jing was filled with pride!
He looked at his system interface, where the numbers were rapidly increasing—
[You have received praise from Yang Hua, appreciation value +2]
[You have received praise from Liu Honghong, appreciation value +2]
[You have received praise from Xiang Beifei, appreciation value +2]
[You have received praise from Wu Qi, appreciation value +2]
...
"Take off! Take off! Fly me beyond the highest heavens!"
Zhuo Jing was laughing heartily inside. Completing the system task was just too easy!

With so many people around today, and his name and scores being publicly announced, everyone would surely recognize Zhuo Jing. He was bound to gain a few thousand appreciation points at the very least!
This was why scores had to be publicly revealed. Many students' systems likely required them to use their scores to complete tasks, and Zhuo Jing was undoubtedly one of them.
At this moment, Zhuo Jing stood tall and proud, contentedly accepting everyone's praises. There were just too many people praising and envying him. The numbers on the system were jumping rapidly, which was dizzying to watch.
He hadn't even noticed that among the rising numbers on his system was a familiar name.
Xiang Beifei silently gave him a thumbs up.
"Now you know where the gap between us lies, right?"
Zhuo Jing glanced at Xiang Beifei with a very smug expression, then turned to Xiang Qingde and said, "Students taught by Teacher Yang Hua all need to be like me; you should weigh yourselves accordingly."
Kong Xiuwen couldn't stand it but was unable to refute, grumbling, "Damn, his score is so high."
He then glanced at Xiang Beifei and asked quietly, "How about it? Are you confident or not?"
Xiang Beifei just smiled and didn't say much.
Meanwhile, Xiang Qingde was also extremely surprised to see Zhuo Jing's score.
581 points!
This kid's academic performance is actually so high?
In the system world, scoring above 550 points is quite an accomplishment because it's the minimum admission threshold for the nine elite universities, let alone the fact that 581 points were the raw score, which amounted to 631 with bonuses!
He couldn't help but take a glance at his grandson and sighed internally.
The gap is too wide!
Alas! I wonder if he will be affected.
"Xiaofei, let's not get discouraged."
Xiang Qingde patted Xiang Beifei's shoulder and comforted him.
"Grandpa, my score hasn't come out yet," Xiang Beifei said.
"Then let's go over there and wait."
Xiang Qingde was worried that waiting here, with Zhuo Jing's score setting such a stark comparison, might let his grandson feel wronged, so he quickly pulled Xiang Beifei to the side.
"Okay."
Xiang Beifei didn't say much more.
However, Lu Zhiwei was unhappy, humming and grumbling, "Aren't you going to say something?"
"He did pretty well on the test," Xiang Beifei said.
Lu Zhiwei rolled her eyes, "I'm not talking about that! It's his arrogant demeanor that's really annoying!"
After a pause, she put her hands on her hips and said, "You need to reflect on yourself. Grandpa Xiang is getting on in years, and he still has to work hard for you. I can't stand to watch this!"
Xiang Beifei shrugged his shoulders.
"He'll work hard, Xiao Wei, don't pressure him," Xiang Qingde quickly gave Lu Zhiwei a look, signaling her to say less.
"I just can't stand it! He's always like this, appearing glum and never competing with others. It's too easy for him to be at a disadvantage!"
Lu Zhiwei thought back to the previous encounter with Qin Yi at the law enforcement team, where Xiang Beifei hadn't bothered to compete with Qin Yi.
Xiang Beifei could endure, but she could not.
——
"Yes, this is a student I taught! Zhuo Jing, our class rep, S-grade! Highly talented and very hardworking! He's my masterpiece!"
Yang Hua was speaking to all parents. His teacher's prestige value could also be obtained from the parents, and now he had to seize this opportunity to market his image as a teacher who had done well in coaching.
He also glanced over at Xiang Qingde's direction, purposefully letting Xiang Qingde know that he only valued students with good grades.
"Sigh."
Xiang Qingde sighed and sat on the edge of the flower bed.
How could he not perceive the implied meaning in Yang Hua's words?
Other parents were eagerly looking forward to their children's good performance, yet he was afraid to see his own grandson's results.
If the score was too bad and it struck his grandson down, what should he do!
Xiang Qingde's mind buzzed with consoling words to prepare, in case the results were too dismal, he would have to face them with his grandson!
At that moment, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd!
"Is this Xiang Beifei's score?"
Xiang Qingde heard someone in the crowd calling his grandson's name, and his heart clenched tight!
What was inevitable still had arrived.
