The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

The official Douyin account of No. 99 Middle School has already started live streaming.

After an afternoon of fermentation, the popularity of this matter can no longer be described as "high".

Ji Bai occupied four of the top ten trending topics.

#The real and fake top scorers will be revealed tonight# is firmly in first place, #The Highly Knowledgeable Alliance has set off# is close behind, and #The 99th Middle School Statement# is in fifth place.

This matter has already caused quite a stir.

To put it simply, the official Douyin account of No. 99 Middle School originally only had a little over a thousand followers, but in just one afternoon, it grew to a million!

Principal Wang's mouth was practically stretched into a wide grin.

It was only 6 p.m., and the students had just finished school, when Principal Wang instructed the teacher in charge of Douyin (TikTok) to start the live stream.

Within five minutes of the broadcast starting, tens of thousands of people flooded in.

"Here we go, are we ready to begin?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be 7 PM?"

"Sunflower seeds, drinks, mineral water! Move your feet in!"

"It's finally airing! I've been waiting all afternoon!"

"Live broadcast from a dilapidated sect! I want to see what the Holy Son looks like!"

……

Principal Wang couldn't hide his smile as he watched the tens of thousands of people pouring in.

"Hello students! Welcome to the live broadcast room of Fucheng No. 99 Middle School! I am Principal Wang Jianguo."

"Many people may not have heard of our No. 99 Middle School, so let me introduce it to you."

"Our school has been operating for thirty years, and the conditions are indeed difficult. Look, this playground is still made of cinders, and the teaching buildings are all old. There aren't even many decent multimedia classrooms."

"But our school has never given up on any student! Over the years, we've focused on improving academic standards, and our teachers have poured their hearts and souls into it. Finally, we've produced the top science student in Fucheng!"

"It wasn't easy! It really wasn't easy!"

As Principal Wang spoke, he walked towards the playground, with the live-streaming teacher following closely behind, holding up his phone and scanning every corner of the campus.

Principal Wang began his explanation, which he had prepared for an entire afternoon. His words were exquisite, subtly conveying both his poverty and his achievements, while also demonstrating the sincerity of an educator.

The comments section exploded instantly:

"Damn, this school is so run-down! It doesn't even have a synthetic running track!"

"Is this what No. 99 Middle School looks like? Even my village school back home is better!"

"I was ten times better than this in elementary school!"

"No way, this can produce a top scholar??"

"I mean, is it possible that he became the top scholar in the imperial examination precisely because he had nowhere to play?"

"That makes sense! Difficult environments produce talented people!"

"I like this principal; he speaks honestly and doesn't pretend!"

"You know what, this principal seems pretty reliable."

"He looks like the kind of person who gets things done, unlike some school leaders who just talk big."

"I've followed you, I've followed you. From now on, I'll be a spiritual alumnus of No. 99 Middle School."

……

Principal Wang almost had an orgasm when he saw the comments.

But soon, people started digging up his past.

"Don't be fooled, netizens! This school is a complete slacker! Its college entrance exam pass rate is less than 50%!"

"It's not that we didn't have a synthetic running track; we used to! But a top student from one year broke it off and sold it for scrap overnight!"

"You heard right, they stole the school's running track to sell!"

"What? You're asking why the school isn't investigating? Do you know what they did with the money from selling the synthetic track? They paid for their girlfriend's abortion!"

"Hahahaha, holy crap! Selling a runway to pay for his girlfriend's abortion???"

"This is what you call angst literature!"

"I was in the class two years before No. 99 Middle School. Let me tell you, there was something even more outrageous that happened in our class back then."

"A student wrote a letter to the principal, which read: 'Principal, could you add a smoking room? My classmates keep smoking in the toilet, and I'm pregnant and can't stand the smell of smoke. This is making my husband so stressed that he can't concentrate on preparing lessons.'"

"Hahahahahahahaha..."

"My husband isn't in the mood to prepare lessons anymore... hahahahaha..."

"Is this even a high school? This is wilder than my junior college!"

"I suddenly feel that No. 99 Middle School is a place where hidden talents abound..."

……

Principal Wang's smile froze instantly, his lips twitched, and he quickly waved his hand:

"Haha, you guys are really joking! It's not true at all! Don't believe or spread rumors! It's all just a rumor!"

……

The comments section was filled with laughter:

"Hahaha, they're getting anxious! The principal's getting anxious!"

"I almost got scammed by that old Deng!"

"Old Deng's face turned white! Hahahaha!"

"Don't believe or spread rumors, but that doesn't mean you can't create rumors!"

"Principal: Please, please stop! I worked so hard to build this persona!"

"Hahaha……"

……

After all that fuss, netizens finally couldn't wait any longer:

"Stop arguing! When are we starting?!"

"Hurry up! I want to see the prodigies of a fallen sect battle against immortals from the upper realm!"

"Haha, this generation of netizens is so witty!"

"You know what, it really does feel like an immortal descending from the heavens to suppress the geniuses of this era!"

"Isn't this just like a novel plot? The elders of prestigious sects descend the mountain to suppress a suddenly emerging grassroots prodigy!"

"Immortals from the upper realm descend to the mortal world to suppress geniuses in order to uphold their Daoist traditions! It's so relatable!"

"Today isn't about verifying results! It's about the righteous elders besieging the Holy Son of the Demonic Cult!"

Ji Bai: I thought I was invincible, but unexpectedly, an enemy has appeared out of nowhere!

"It's on fire! It's on fire!"

……

Just as the comments section was buzzing with excitement, Principal Wang's phone rang.

After finishing the call, he excitedly shouted into the camera:

"They're here! The immortals from the upper realm... uh, no! The experts from the High Intellectual Alliance have arrived!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the camera and ran toward the school gate.

A black Toyota Coaster pulled up at the school gate, and a dozen or so middle-aged men in shirts and glasses got off one after another, each with an air of distinction.

The original plan was for 30 people, but many had other commitments, so only 17 people showed up in the end.

But that's enough!

These people, at the very least, are all master's degree holders from the C9 League, and include many professors, associate professors, and various experts and scholars.

More than enough to test a high school student!

As netizens say, it's like an immortal descending from the heavens to suppress the geniuses of this era.

Seventeen people, that's seventeen heavenly tribulations!

"You must be President Wang. I am Huang Mingyuan, the deputy director of the Department of Mathematics at Aurora University."

The man in the dark blue polo shirt at the head of the group was the middle-aged man who was the first to get off the bus. He came over to greet Principal Wang.

Was Principal Wang dumbfounded?

Aurora University...Department of Mathematics...Deputy Director?

My mother!

This is higher than the rank of the director of the Fucheng Education Bureau, right?

"Director Huang, hello! I am Wang Jianguo, the principal of No. 99 Middle School! On behalf of all the teachers and students of No. 99 Middle School, I welcome all the experts and scholars to our school for guidance! I apologize for not being able to greet you properly after your long journey!"

Director Huang nodded slightly, glanced at the teaching building with peeling paint behind Principal Wang, and then looked back at Principal Wang's face.

"President Wang, you're too kind. We're here mainly for academic exchange, so there's no need for such formality."

"Yes, yes, yes! Academic exchange!" Principal Wang nodded repeatedly. "Please come in, everyone!"

At this moment, the viewers in the live stream went wild.

"Wow, even the deputy director of Aurora University is here!"

"The deputy peak master of a first-class sect in the upper realm, along with more than a dozen inner sect elders, has crossed realms to descend upon a third-rate sect in the mortal world—this scene is too surreal!"

"What the hell is this Deputy Peak Master?! That's hilarious!"

"No. 99 Middle School: What have I done to deserve this?!"

Ji Bai: Do you really need to send a vice peak master to suppress a disciple from a dilapidated sect that doesn't even have a rubber track?

"Deputy Director Huang from the Mathematics Department? I know him!"

"This guy is amazing! He's a doctoral supervisor, has published two NTR papers, and is one of the leading figures in number theory in China! The Highly Intellectuals Alliance actually managed to get him to come out of retirement!!"

"It's Nature, not NTR!"

"Upstairs, is that the important point?"

"This lineup is so strong that even a regular university professor couldn't handle it, let alone a high school student!"

"It's all over! The Holy Son is in danger this time!"
