When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 605 - 448: Bloody Hand (4000 words)_2
——
Because of Zhuo Jing's words, many people no longer envied Xiang Beifei, the top scorer of the school, and their attention gradually shifted to other S-level students, which actually gave Xiang Beifei a sigh of relief.
He didn't enjoy being surrounded by people.
The crowd quickly dispersed, and the other school leaders went to congratulate other students, only Principal Li Nanxing stayed. His expectations for Xiang Beifei had not diminished from start to finish.
When Li Nanxing mentioned the desolate wastelands beyond the borders, his expression turned serious.
The desolate wastelands, lying outside the territory of Jiuzhou, were filled with various dangerous and powerful desolate beasts, ferocious and terrifying.
The task of a pioneer was to eradicate the desolate beasts in an area and then expand the territory of Jiuzhou, securing more living space for humans.
This was an extremely arduous task because desolate beasts would not be easily eradicated; on the contrary, it was the pioneers who were more likely to be surrounded and killed by the desolate beasts!

That was also why the status of a pioneer was so revered; they battled for the expansion of human living space, almost as if they were tying their lives to their belts.
In Jiuzhou, if one's cultivation had not reached the Meridian Opening Realm, they were generally not allowed to go to the desolate wastelands beyond the border, because someone at the Qi-Controlling Realm venturing there was akin to courting death!
"I don't understand what those people at Liangzhou University are thinking; they actually set up such an entrance examination," Li Nanxing said with dissatisfaction. It was as if they were blatantly telling everyone, "N-level Awakeners need not apply."
But he was just a high school principal and could not meddle in the affairs of Liangzhou University. No matter how unfair he felt it was, there was nothing he could do.
"Of course, you don't have to worry, as you are not at the Qi-Controlling stage, so the examination they set for you should be in a simulation training ground. Elite universities have simulated training facilities, which means they will…" Li Nanxing said.
Xiang Beifei fell into deep thought.
Entrance examination, venturing into the desolate wastelands?
His parents had gone to the desolate wastelands and never returned. What that place was really like, he had never been there.
This world was closely related to the desolate wastelands beyond its borders, yet so far, Xiang Beifei had only seen the tip of the iceberg.
The scores of Luhe High School's college entrance exam came out one after another, with joy for some and sorrow for others. There were those who scored 300, and those who scored 400, with each person wearing a different expression.
The highest score at the moment belonged to Shen Yu, who awakened an [S-level Academic God System] and scored 667 points without any bonus points, from class one.
And at that time, Kong Xiuwen's score also came out:
[Kong Xiuwen, S-level, Language 101, Mathematics 103, Comprehensive Science 191, Introduction to Defense of Jiuzhou 118, Total 513]
Kong Xiuwen was overjoyed!
"Ah, I scored 500 points!"
He desperately tugged at his hair, which he had been diligently collecting and exchanging for system rewards to enhance his intelligence, just to score 500 points. Finally, his efforts had paid off.
513 plus 50 points, 563 points, which was completely no problem for getting into an elite university!
"Congratulations," Xiang Beifei said.
"Thanks, I didn't expect to outperform myself!"
Kong Xiuwen was very excited, but soon he suppressed his excitement and asked, "How confident are you? Last time you said we would go to Liangzhou University together. I've done my part, now it's your turn! Don't let me down!"
"Let's wait for the results to come out," Xiang Beifei said.
"Son, you did it!"
A plump middle-aged man squeezed through the crowd. His substantial figure pushed through the crowd with ease, and he excitedly embraced Kong Xiuwen, almost knocking him over with his round belly.
This was Kong Xiuwen's father, Kong Daming.
[Host: Kong Daming]
[S-grade, Gluttonous Feast System]
[Realm: Early Meridian Opening]
Kong Daming ran a food service business, possessing culinary skills that turned something as simple as a head of cabbage into a mouth-watering delicacy.
"Dad, have some restraint, some restraint."
Kong Xiuwen cradled his belly, which had been hurt from the bumping, but he couldn't hide his own excitement either, allowing his father's hefty palm to rub back and forth over his head.
"Uncle Kong, hello."
Xiang Beifei greeted him politely.
"Haha, good, good, Xiaofei, it's been so long since I've seen you." Kong Daming laughed heartily and turned his head to greet Xiang Qingde, "How's the old master doing?"
"Quite well, congratulations, Daming." Xiang Qingde forced a smile.
"Haha, thank you, thank you, my Xiuwen has become someone noteworthy. Oh, by the way, has Xiaofei gotten his test results yet?" Kong Daming asked.
"Should be pretty soon."
The image of that test paper with a score of 43 flashed through Xiang Qingde's mind, and he let out a silent sigh.
"Xiaofei, you've got to work hard! You two have been playing together since you were kids and have always been in the same class. I hope you can attend the same university too!" Kong Daming said cheerfully.
"I hope so."
Xiang Qingde could only respond verbally, his heart sighing yet again. Kong Xiuwen was an S-grade Awakener and could get into a top university with just a 500-point score. But for Xiang Beifei, an N-grade with such poor results...
"Haha, that's fantastic! To celebrate my son getting such good scores, I'm not going to do business tonight. We're having a celebration banquet just for you. Elder, you must come too!"
Kong Daming and Xiang Tianxing used to be classmates. After Xiang Tianxing met with misfortune, he often looked after the grandfather and grandson, always telling them to eat at his restaurant free of charge.
However, Xiang Qingde and his grandson seldom went there; though their income was not high, they did not want to freeload. Kong Daming understood this, so he changed his approach and often sent some meat to Xiang Qingde's home for them to cook themselves.
To avoid giving Xiang Qingde a psychological burden, he would symbolically charge a token price, the cost of cabbage. Recently, during Xiang Beifei's college entrance examination period, Xiang Qingde bought the nutritional ingredients needed to fortify the body from Kong Daming.
"Congratulations, congratulations! Well done, Kong Xiuwen, I knew you had potential!"
Yang Hua arrived in time, loudly praising Kong Xiuwen. Kong Xiuwen also brought him a teacher's prestige value of 563, quite a high earning indeed!
Kong Xiuwen wasn't fond of Yang Hua. Before his Awakening System awoke, he and Xiang Beifei were both the subjects of criticism. After his awakening, Yang Hua's attitude toward him did a complete turnaround.
Kong Xiuwen was an outspoken person and didn't like people like Yang Hua.
But Kong Daming wasn't privy to these details. With a teacher offering congratulations, he naturally responded courteously, "Haha, thank you, Professor Yang, we should be thanking you for your cultivation!"
"Not at all, not at all. I've always seen Kong Xiuwen as a student brimming with potential, destined to do great things. I'm not surprised in the slightest at his achievement," Yang Hua said with a smile.
Kong Xiuwen rolled his eyes all the while.
Cultivation my ass! He scored so high entirely because of the help from his system and his own late-night studying efforts, nothing to do with Yang Hua.
If he hadn't awoken an S-grade system, Yang Hua would probably have a different narrative.
Such a fair-weather person is probably the best description of him.
Yang Hua glanced at Xiang Qingde and his grandson and then said to Kong Daming, "Excellent students should be like Kong Xiuwen, diligent and hardworking, not lacking in ambition. But the company one keeps is also important. The excellent ones should be together with those who are even more successful. I've said this to Kong Xiuwen before."
Kong Daming, usually busy with his business, didn't quite understand Yang Hua's implication and asked, "What do you mean, Professor Yang?"
"Nothing much, just speaking my mind. With Kong Xiuwen's current grades, getting into a top university won't be a problem. He'll be able to be with even more successful people in the future. Your son is bound to be successful, congratulations! I need to check the scores of other students as well, so I won't disturb you and your son's celebration," Yang Hua said, waving his hand dismissively, not bothering further with Xiang Qingde and Xiang Beifei and ignoring them completely.
"Don't let that guy's words get to you, you can definitely do it," Kong Xiuwen said, coming over to cheer Xiang Beifei on.
