Kill one monster, stack one poison, and I alone will poison my way across the world!

Su Chen's grades are utterly shameless.

A group of people were outraged in front of the screen.

Those teams that fought tooth and nail for over an hour before barely managing to clear the level felt completely exhausted.

Lin Shiqing hurriedly ran to Su Chen and asked excitedly, "Little Su, how...how did you do that?"

Su Chen looked up and smiled, "This is all thanks to you."

"I?"

Lin Shiqing was a little confused.

"Have you forgotten how we cleared the dungeon yesterday? I ignored the mobs and used your stealth skill to go straight over and kill the boss instantly."

"Yes, absolutely!"

She paused for a moment, a knowing glint in her eyes.

When she first entered the instance, she did consider going invisible to fight the BOSS.

However, her current [Hidden Light] can only make two people invisible, while there are five people in the team, so she led the team to advance steadily.

Lin Shiqing excitedly grabbed Su Chen's arm and shook it wildly, exclaiming, "Little Su, you're the top scorer in the country!"

National top scorer!

In recent years, top scorers have mostly come from Shanghai or Beijing, with very few from other provinces.

Jiangnan Province hasn't had one for decades, and Tianhe City... has never had one before!

Su Chen felt a little dizzy from the shaking.

This girl was even more excited than if she had won the top scholar title herself.

He said speechlessly, "Stop shaking, Miss. Why are you so excited? What kind of reward is there for being the top scorer in the national competition?"

Su Chen's goal was simply to get into Sky Dome Academy.

Why is Lin Shiqing so excited? Could it be that besides becoming famous, the top scorer in the country receives some special reward?

"Of course! I heard that the top scorer in the national exams at Sky Dome Academy receives special treatment every year!"

Lin Shiqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "Besides, Sky Dome Academy uses a mentor system. As the top scorer in the country, you'll have an advantage when choosing a mentor!"

Su Chen seemed to be deep in thought, and he was also looking forward to his upcoming university life.

What kind of mentor should I choose?

Also, what is the purpose of the Tower of Babel that Commander Lei Jun mentioned earlier?

……

It was exactly 12 noon.

All three exams have concluded.

The final rankings of all candidates have been released.

"Waaah, Mom and Dad, I got in! You can rest in peace now. I'll study hard in university and live up to your love!"

"Grandpa, did you see that? My grades are good enough for military academy! You died on the battlefield, but your grandson will continue to defend the frontier in your stead!"

"Brother, I passed the exam! I'm going to police academy, to take your badge number, and I'll make sure those drug dealers die a horrible death!"

"..."

Some were overjoyed while others were heartbroken; many test-takers wept with joy.

At the very top of the report card, a line of text stood out prominently.

[Su Chen, Provincial Rank: 1, National Rank: 1]

Upon seeing this first line hanging high above, there was a moment of silence before various sounds erupted.

"Wow, he really is the top scorer in the country!"

"No, isn't this provincial ranking a bit unnecessary?"

"Sigh, since the Ministry of Education thinks his grades are fine, then I have nothing more to say. In short, awesome!"

"It's not just a cow, it's an enormous cow!"

"Actually, I'm Su Chen's classmate. He's always been an excellent student, respectful to elders and kind to children... Damn, I can't go on. We're from the same school, and I only got into a junior college, while he became the top scorer in the country?"

"..."

The test takers stopped complaining.

Now that the Ministry of Education has released the results, it means that the results have been confirmed as valid.

If you continue to question it, you'll just look like a clown!

Lin Shiqing's grades are also very good, ranking first in the province and second in the country for support, making her a solid contender for Sky Dome Academy.

Wang Xiaoli ranks among the top 2,000 in the province. He has no chance of getting into Tianqiong Academy, but he should be able to get into a 598 university.

At this moment, Song Yi's voice rang out again.

This time, his tone carried a hint of seriousness.

"Dear candidates, this year's college entrance examination has concluded."

"I know some of you are happy, and some are disappointed, but remember, grades are never the sole measure of your worth! Each and every one of you is a vital force for the new generation of China!"

"A great man once said: The world belongs to you, as well as to us, but in the final analysis, it belongs to you. You young people are full of vigor and vitality, like the sun at eight or nine in the morning. Our hopes are placed on you!"

"Today, I'm passing this sentence on to you verbatim!"

"Regardless of your achievements, you are the rising sun of China's future! China's tomorrow depends on you to illuminate and create it!"

"..."

The previously dejected examinee involuntarily raised his head.

Song Yi's words may have been just polite words, but they were still very inspiring!

At this moment, Song Yi paused, calmed himself down, and continued, "Also, the final tiebreaker will begin at 1:00 PM sharp!"

Upon hearing the words "playoffs," the students' eyes revealed a mixture of awe and envy.

"The supplementary round is a special challenge instance where everyone is teleported to a large instance. Inside are elite monsters, a continuous stream of powerful bosses, and... other examinees!"

"Only the top scorer in the city, who ranks first in the overall score of the three regular exams, is eligible to enter this competition! And participation is not mandatory."

"The most important thing about the playoffs... is that the points from the playoffs will be directly converted into college credits on a one-to-one basis. You all know how important college credits are."

"Alright, everyone, please leave now."

"..."

Wang Xiaoli whispered to himself, "Brother Chen, I heard the playoffs are incredibly tough. Are you still in good shape?"

Several examiners were also whispering among themselves.

"This kid's performance in the first three games was too outstanding, there was really no need to take this risk."

"Yes, the boss in the additional round has an extremely nasty mechanic, and even has a magic-suppressing barrier that targets magic-based classes."

"That's not all. In the supplementary competition, candidates can attack each other. What if his results are too outstanding, and the other candidates become jealous and gang up on him?"

The examiners now regard Su Chen as the pride of Jiangnan Province.

They were all genuinely thinking of his best interests.

Su Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

He keenly captured the most effective information.

"Converted proportionally to academic credits?"

He remembered Song Xin, the one who had previously asked him for the body.

The importance of credits at Sky Dome Academy is self-evident.

Lin Shiqing asked nervously, "Xiao Suzi, are you going?"

"Hmm, let's go in and take a look!"

Su Chen nodded.

There's no reason not to take this free opportunity to earn academic credits.

As for battery life?

He barely used his skills in the three exams; it wasn't as tiring as playing the Abyss dungeon the day before yesterday.

"If you encounter some insane boss, or get surrounded by people from other provinces, run if you can't win. At worst, use my invisibility skill to survive. Be smart, don't be reckless, understand?"

Lin Shiqing launched into a long nagging.

Although she was ranked high enough nationally, Su Chen was the top scorer in the city, so she was not qualified to participate in the additional competition.

"I know, don't you trust me?"

Su Chen smiled.

run?

Who knows who will run away then!

12:30 PM.

All the top scorers in the city who qualified were gathered in a special waiting area in the center of the arena.

Jiangnan Province has more than 100 cities, but there are only a little over 100 people standing here.

Except for those whose bodies simply couldn't handle it, most of the top scorers in the city chose to participate.

Song Yi stood in front of the crowd, her expression more serious than ever before.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me reiterate the rules for the playoffs."

"This is a [large-scale instance] constructed by Zhan Lao using special abilities, and the final ranking is based on points."

"Although the ranking in the additional rounds will not affect the college entrance examination ranking, some university professors do value it."

"In addition to the normal monster slaying, it includes various high-value targets, namely various BOSSes."

"Your mission is to kill monsters, hunt bosses, and earn points! The stronger the target, the higher the points."

"In this vast world, you will encounter top scorers from every province across the country, totaling over a thousand people! You can freely form teams and attack students from other provinces. But I must warn you, death here is real death!"

Song Yi glanced at everyone, her gaze lingering on Su Chen for half a second.

"Although the exam rules allow attacks on other professionals without legal consequences, everyone is part of Dahua's future, so generally no one will go for the kill; it's best to stop when you've made a point."

"Alright, the additional rounds will be conducted by examiners from the capital. I have to go now. Good luck to you all!"

"..."

Su Chen's lips twitched, his face looking completely innocent.

No.

Why are you looking at me?
