Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Primordially Ranked First
Zhuo Jing said resentfully.
Xiang Beifei\'s grades were always atrociously bad, so how did he suddenly score so high?
Now everyone\'s attention was on Xiang Beifei, overshadowing his own spotlight, leaving no one to admire him.
"Nonsense!"
Principal Li Nanxing rebuked, "No one can cheat in the college entrance examination. Watch your words!"
The people around, hearing the principal\'s words, also thought Zhuo Jing sounded like a fool.
In the System world\'s college entrance examination, the students participating, with the highest talents at most S-class, were monitored with anti-cheating measures set by SR-class individuals!
The SR-class anti-cheating measures were more than enough to completely suppress these students\' systems.
Let alone an N-class System Awakener!
Zhuo Jing\'s face turned red with the principal\'s rebuke, and he didn\'t dare to speak again, forcing down his frustration.
The scene was witnessed by thousands of onlookers. There were more parents than students present since many had come with their children. Yet, no one suspected Xiang Beifei of cheating. Instead, they saw him as the shining beacon of reversal among N-class Awakeners!
"Xiang Beifei! 732! Are you a god?"
Kong Xiuwen was first shocked, then shouted excitedly, seemingly more thrilled than Xiang Beifei himself.
He used to be at the bottom of the class with Xiang Beifei, but at least he had awakened an S-class system and could trade his hair to boost his Intelligence at the last moment.
But Xiang Beifei was N-class!
In his eyes, that was utterly amazing!
At this moment, Kong Xiuwen\'s score also came out!
[Kong Xiuwen, S-class, Language 111, Mathematics 103, Comprehensive 191, Introduction to Defense of Jiuzhou 118, Total Score 523]
Kong Xiuwen was over the moon!
"Ah, I scored over 500!"
He yanked at his hair desperately. These past days, in order to score over 500, he had given his all, exchanging all the fallen hair he collected for system rewards that would increase his Intelligence, finally getting some payoff.
523 plus the 50 points, for a total of 573, securing a spot at an elite university was no issue at all!
"Congratulations!"
Seeing Kong Xiuwen score over 500, Xiang Beifei also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Congratulations for what! I should be congratulating you!" Kong Xiuwen laughed heartily, "Now our university is set."
"My son, you did it!"
A chubby middle-aged man squeezed through the crowd. His sturdy frame effortlessly pushed through the throng, embracing Kong Xiuwen with such enthusiasm that his rotund belly almost sent Kong Xiuwen flying.
This was Kong Xiuwen\'s father, Kong Daming.
[Host: Kong Daming]
[S-class, Gluttonous Feast System]
[Realm: Early Meridian Opening]
Kong Daming was in the catering business, with culinary skills so divine that he could make a simple cabbage dish drool-worthy.
Xiang Beifei had known of Kong Daming from his past memories, but since his arrival, he had not seen Kong Daming and only now realized that Kong Daming was also an S-class System Awakener!
"Dad, compose yourself, there\'s someone even more impressive than me here."
Kong Xiuwen clutched his aching belly from the collision, but he couldn\'t quite hide his excitement, letting his dad\'s chubby hand rub and roll on his head.
"Yes, yes, yes! I almost forgot! Xiaofei, good kid! You did it! Hahaha! You left my Xiuwen behind by three streets!" Kong Daming also heartily patted Xiang Beifei on the shoulder, laughing joyfully.
Kong Xiuwen and Xiang Beifei were childhood buddies, and Kong Daming had watched Xiang Beifei grow up, always treated him kindly.
"You flatter me, Uncle Kong," said Xiang Beifei.
Kong Daming laughed again and said to Xiang Qingde, "Old man, Xiaofei is promising, as remarkable as Tianxing."
"Haha, Xiuwen is not bad either."
Xiang Qingde was so happy his wrinkles seemed to lighten, naturally proud when others praised his grandson.
The rest of the scores were still popping up one by one, all the exam candidates had found their grades, but so far, no one had surpassed Xiang Beifei\'s score.
The score of 732 was unique.
This score was even the highest raw score among all the candidates at Luhe High School for the past ten years!
When the last student\'s score was released, the overall situation for this year\'s college entrance examination at Luhe High School had become very clear.
The second place was taken by Shen Yu from Class One, who had awakened the "S-class Academic God System"; with a raw score of 679, and even after adding 50 points, it was still only 729, not surpassing Xiang Beifei.
After the scores were announced, the honor roll was updated with other rankings.
This ranking included school ranking, Liangzhou ranking, and Jiuzhou ranking.
Xiang Beifei, with a raw score, ranked 1st in Luhe High School, 1st in Liangzhou, and 1st in Jiuzhou.
In total score ranking, he ranked 1st in Luhe High School, 18th in Liangzhou, and 75th in Jiuzhou.
Total score ranking included various bonus points.
In the whole Jiuzhou with over five million candidates, no one had a higher raw score than Xiang Beifei. But the thing is, many people had bonus points!
Moreover, most of the high-scoring candidates were almost all S-level, not only benefited from powerful systems but also received favorable additions to their total scores—a full 50 points!
News had already spread online that this year\'s college entrance exam champion of the Jiuzhou Alliance was from Qingzhou, with a raw score of 711 plus 50 bonus points, bringing the total to 761!
College entrance exam rankings were based on total scores, and although Xiang Beifei was originally first, many overtook him purely through bonus points.
That is to say, 74 people with an added 50 points had surpassed Xiang Beifei.
So, in a strict sense, Xiang Beifei only claimed the title of valedictorian for Luhe High School, not for Liangzhou or Jiuzhou.
But this was still something to be envied.
Because at Luhe High School, not a single S-class System Awakener who had added points surpassed Xiang Beifei.
——
Xiang Beifei was pondering his scores.
He had expected to score full marks in the Comprehensive subject.
Having arrived in this world for the first time and being able to see everyone\'s systems clearly, he had studied the knowledge related to the systems very thoroughly.
In mathematics, perhaps a careless misstep had cost him one point; after all, he was not perfect and could still be negligent.
However, his scores in Chinese and Introduction to Defense of Jiuzhou were not as high, scoring 141 on one and 140 on the other.
Exams like Chinese and Introduction to Defense of Jiuzhou included subjective questions, where many required the student to express their own views on a matter or a sentence.
Such divergent, subjective questions purportedly sought to "explore the student\'s perspective," when in reality, they assessed not "the student\'s perspective" but "the perspective of the grader and the answer key."
Your view is not important; what is important is whether it aligns with the grader\'s view.
Xiang Beifei guessed that the points he lost were likely in these areas.
