Chapter 174: Chapter 154: College Entrance Exam

“Chen Xing, have you decided on your teammates for this year’s college entrance exam?” Principal Xue Jinbao asked with concern.

Chen Xing shook his head slightly, “Not yet finalized.”

“Then who has been confirmed now?”

The image of his sister, Chen Lingya, came to mind, and he said with a smile, “Including me, there are already three people.”

Principal Xue pondered for a moment, “What about those four students from the school team? You’ve already had multiple collaborations, and your understanding of each other is profound.”

Chen Xing thought for a moment, “Senior Tong and the others? I have indeed considered them.

However, I plan to choose the highest difficulty high school task, and I don’t know if they can accept it.”

Principal Xue nodded affirmatively, “They also plan to challenge the highest difficulty.

Actually, many people have misunderstood a hidden point about this college entrance exam.

The scoring is not a fixed standard, but rather based on performance.

In a higher-difficulty battlefield, although the pressure is immense, as long as one can perform normally, the chances of scoring high are actually greater.”

After hearing this, Chen Xing fell into deep thought; he felt the proposal was feasible.

For him, the choice of teammates could be anyone, but the most important thing was not to deliberately influence him.

However, there were some things that he still needed to clarify in advance to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings in the future.

He was about to speak when Principal Xue interrupted him.

“Chen Xing, don’t worry, I understand your meaning. The college entrance exam is a major event in everyone’s life; you don’t need to accommodate others. Just focus on the exam and perform your best.”

“About the remaining spots…” Chen Xing hesitated.

Principal Xue smiled slightly, “If you plan to sell the remaining spots, I can help you contact buyers. Don’t worry about any issues after the sale; we will ensure everything goes smoothly.”

“Then I’ll trouble the principal,” Chen Xing said gratefully.

Principal Xue waved his hand, “No trouble at all, I can also earn some favor. Haha! Besides, you just focus on the exam and don’t worry about other matters.”

Leaving the school,

as soon as he entered the house, Chen Xing smelled a familiar fragrance.

“Yo, our busy man is finally willing to come home?” his mother greeted him with a smile.

Chen Lingya teased as well, “Yeah, how have you been lately? I heard you’ve been living in the suburbs?”

Chen Xing sighed helplessly, “Sis, stop making fun of me. I’ve really been busy lately, and staying at the breeding farm is for training convenience.”

“All right, all right, I know you’re busy,” Chen Lingya gestured for him to stop explaining.

Chen Xing suddenly thought of something, “Right, sis, do you have teammates for the exam yet?”

Chen Lingya shook her head, “Not yet. Why? Are you planning to introduce me to some?”

“How about we team up together?” Chen Xing asked tentatively.

Surprise flashed in Chen Lingya’s eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

She agreed briskly, “Sure! Let’s do it together!”

Seeing his sister’s straightforward response, Chen Xing was taken aback.

He stared at her expression for a while before he was sure she wasn’t joking.

“Sis, are you sure you want to take the high school exam with me? I’m only a freshman,” Chen Xing still couldn’t quite believe it.

Chen Lingya looked at him as if he was being silly, “Do I look stupid to you? You’re the champion of the High School Cup; if you’re not qualified for the college entrance exam, then who is?”

Chen Xing thought about it and felt it made sense, but he was still puzzled and asked, “But sis, how did you know I was going to take the exam?”

Chen Lingya’s lips curled into a mysterious smile, “You think you’re the only one who knows the little secret? It’s actually been out for a while.”

She didn’t answer Chen Xing’s question directly but changed the subject, “Stop overthinking. Now that we’ve decided to take the exam together, let’s prepare well.”

After returning to his room, Chen Xing lay on his bed, contemplating his future plans.

He knew that once he entered the Exotic Region, countless opportunities awaited his exploration.

It was said that occupying a Resource Point in the Exotic Region would yield a generous return every month.

Just then, his phone vibrated.

He took it out and saw that it was a call from Principal Xue.

Upon answering, Principal Xue’s voice came through, “Chen Xing, I have good news for you. The remaining four spots have all been successfully traded.

Each spot for thirty million, including the teammates from the school team, a total of seven people, two hundred and ten million has already been deposited into your account.”

Hearing this news, Chen Xing’s heart thumped wildly,

earning money at the speed of a rocket!

Was this the advantage of strength and fame? Money really does come knocking at your door.

“Understood, thank you, Principal!” Chen Xing said gratefully.

“Haha, work hard and perform well in the high school exam.”

…

The time for the high school exam arrived in the blink of an eye.

The day countless people eagerly anticipated silently descended upon them.

The morning sunlight seeped through the gaps in the curtains, casting its glow on Chen Xing’s face.

Chen Xing went to the exam site with his sister, and they stood together in a group of ten.

Outside the high school exam venue, the Jinzhou military area was stationed with a large number of troops.

Beasts roamed densely in the sky on patrol.

The ground was covered with a multitude of tents.

The exam candidates entered the tents in groups of ten.

Chen Xing saw the other eight teammates, besides the three seniors from the school team, there was also Chi Ziyao and four other unfamiliar faces he hadn’t seen before.

But from their interactions, it seemed that they all knew Chi Ziyao.

“Champion! We’re counting on clinging to your coattails in this high school exam,” a chubby guy greeted Chen Xing with a chuckle.

“Fat Niu, stop talking nonsense,” a girl next to him interrupted. “He also has to take the high school exam, and besides, the battlefield in the Illusion Realm is so vast, there’s no way he can specifically come to find us.”

Fat Niu wasn’t embarrassed, “I get it, I’m just finally seeing my idol in person. Idol, I was there when you won the championship!

You don’t know, before the match started, most of the audience was cheering for that Song Yanming on the other side, but after your Beast Taming thrashed that Thunder Dragon, they all went silent, you wouldn’t believe how exhilarating that was!

Don’t worry, Idol, we’ll do our best in this high school exam. Anyway, the score is based on individual performance; if you specifically help us, it might even lower our score, I won’t make that kind of stupid mistake.”

Chen Xing sat on the ground.

As the countdown for the high school exam outside ended,

the next second, thick white fog spewed out from the white shells atop the Dream Tower.

The dense white fog instantly enveloped the entire exam site.

The moment he breathed in the fog, Chen Xing felt his head spin.

The next second, he fainted.

In a daze, amidst the endless darkness, Chen Xing seemed to hear the sounds of artillery bombardments, the war cries of soldiers charging, and the gunfire of bullets being fired.

Mixed in were the cracking noises of thunder, the howling of fierce winds, and the loud explosions.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Chen Xing felt himself being shaken awake.

“Soldier, quickly wake up!”
