When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 79 Regret



"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Lu Zhiwei saw Xiang Beifei deep in thought and couldn't help but ask.

She still couldn't completely calm down.

Xiang Beifei's scores had shocked her too much! She had once thought she was barely an academic overachiever, but compared to Xiang Beifei, she suddenly felt utterly eclipsed.

"I was thinking about where I might have been careless to get points deducted." Thank you for reading on m v le_mpyr

Xiang Beifei said casually.

Careless?

Scoring so high and still thinking about where you might have lost points due to carelessness?

Lu Zhiwei put her hands on her hips, glaring at Xiang Beifei, "Are you asking for a beating by saying that?"

"What's the matter?" Xiang Beifei asked, puzzled.

Lu Zhiwei was so annoyed she could grind her teeth, "Didn't we agree that I was going to tutor you in your studies? How am I supposed to tutor you like this?"

"Huh?"

Xiang Beifei felt it odd and asked, "Why did you think about tutoring me?"

"Wasn't it agreed, a hundred per lesson?" Lu Zhiwei said through clenched teeth.

"I thought it was a hundred per lesson for you to give me money so I could tutor you."

Lu Zhiwei: "..."

Xiang Qingde also realized what had happened, and couldn't help but laugh and say, "So the agreement this morning about you accepting to tutor, you thought I was asking you to tutor Xiao Wei?"

Xiang Beifei nodded.

It turned out they had been on completely different pages all along.

Really odd.

Xiang Qingde slapped his own forehead, "Oh, my muddled head, my fault, my fault."

He had spoken carefully in the morning to spare Xiang Beifei's feelings, so he didn't dare to be too explicit, only to realize later that he had unintentionally caused a misunderstanding.

But this misunderstanding was no big deal.

Xiang Qingde was still very happy.

"No worries, no worries, now that your scores are out and you scored so high, Grandpa is no longer worried about you having no universities to attend."

Xiang Qingde felt he could now raise his head and puff out his chest, liberating himself from the frustration he felt when he humbly asked Yang Hua for tutoring classes.

His grandson scored so high, although not the top scorer in Liangzhou or Jiuzhou, with such scores, why worry about having no university to attend?

He glanced at Zhuo Jing and Yang Hua in the distance, feeling extremely at ease!

Having a promising child, he could also stand tall, feeling as if his bent stature had stretched quite a bit.

At that moment, Principal Li Nanxing also came over with a pleasant smile, expressing quite amazed, "Appearances can be deceiving, Xiang Beifei, our school's top scorer. I didn't expect it, didn't expect it at all, it seems I was mistaken! Ha ha, sorry, sorry!"

Li Nanxing admitted this openly and did not deny it, straightforward and generous.

He initially didn't believe Xiang Beifei could achieve good results this year, so he genuinely got a shock when he saw the results. Being the principal, he naturally needed to personally congratulate their school's top scorer.

Xiang Beifei stood up from the edge of the flowerbed and said politely, "Thank you for the cultivation, principal."

"Ha ha, hardly any cultivation, hardly any at all! This matter doesn't have much to do with me. You scoring so high ultimately comes down to your own efforts, which is quite rare indeed."

There were many parents around, which was a good opportunity for self-promotion, but Li Nanxing wasn't greedy for credit. His school's student getting the highest raw score was honor enough, no need to claim undue credit.

He was really too curious and wanted to know how Xiang Beifei had managed to score so high.

You should know, just two months ago, Beifei's composite score was only 43, with college seeming far out of reach!

However, when the results came out, he was in a league of his own, and everyone else could only watch his back.

Cheating was definitely impossible, as the surveillance measures in the entrance exams were extremely strict. It seemed now that he had always underestimated this young man.

Thinking back to every encounter with Xiang Beifei, the youth was always polite yet confident, not very talkative, and spent more time listening and then pondering.

Li Nanxing now realized that this boy, seemingly not good with words, was indeed hiding his brilliance behind simplicity!

Other school leaders also gathered to congratulate Xiang Beifei, who did not relish such occasions but responded politely nevertheless.

Many people also asked Xiang Qingde how he had managed to raise such a gifted grandson, asking him to share some educational insights that could serve as a reference for their own children's upbringing.

Xiang Qingde laughed heartily, his mustache quivering with excitement. He happily clapped Xiang Beifei on the shoulder and shared his approach: "I just let him be!"

The crowd was stunned!

Xiang Beifei could not help but laugh.

He knew his grandfather had misunderstood him these days, probably worrying terribly. Just now, he had thought he would need to repeat the year and had gone to see Yang Hua, which turned out to be quite frustrating. Now that an opportunity had come to vent, he naturally seized it and spoke freely.

Xiang Beifei did not want to dampen the old man's spirits, whatever the old man said was fine as long as he was happy.

However, Zhuo Jing's expression looked quite unpleasant.

Now that Xiang Beifei had become the center of attention, his favorable score of 581 no longer attracted others' admiration.

He had to actively seek praise.

"So what if you scored high? It's like you think you can get into an elite university!"

Zhuo Jing spat in envy inside.

Among the nine elite universities, only Liangzhou University admitted Awakeners with N classification. But even for Liangzhou University, faced with N-class students, there were thresholds set up that were not easily surpassed.

But Zhuo Jing, with his scores, would have ample margin at an elite university!

Zhuo Jing glanced at his system panel, where his appreciation value had reached 5129, enough to exchange for the "Piercing Strike" cultivation technique. Another task requiring a score of 550 and 2000 praises for an Appreciation Card had also been completed.

But he was not eager to exchange it just yet; now was not the time to exchange techniques. Since the crowd was all gathered here, he wanted to seize the opportunity to earn more appreciation values.

Soon, he thought of another way to draw attention.

"That's right, with my scores, entering one of the nine elite universities is more than doable. After all, I am S-class, not N-class. It's simply too easy for me to enter an elite university, but elite universities do not admit N-class."

Zhuo Jing said this loudly to a friend beside him, not concealing the pride in his voice.

Initially, the crowd was watching Xiang Beifei, but upon hearing Zhuo Jing's words, they pondered for a moment, then comprehended the issue.

Right!

Even if Xiang Beifei was the top scholar in the school, he was merely N-class, something the elite universities normally didn't admit. Even Liangzhou University, the only exception, had not admitted any N-class students for the last ten years.

The bar set for N-class students at elite universities was incredibly high!

Many, influenced by Zhuo Jing's words, looked at Xiang Beifei with changed eyes, their admiration tinged with pity.

This was just too regrettable!

Even someone with 500 points and S-class could easily get in, but a high school entrance score of 732 was kept out of elite universities.

Everyone sighed.
