You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 277 - 235: Famous in Songyang (Thanks to ’Little Hippo 233’ for the alliance leader reward)
Chapter 277: Chapter 235: Famous in Songyang (Thanks to ’Little Hippo 233’ for the alliance leader reward)
Looking at the words formed by the group of Flying Swords in the sky, Zhang Bi from the Sky Martial Group narrowed her eyes and thought to herself, "Is the Oasis Group actually going to do this?"
Even though she occasionally heard some information about the Oasis Group and the Ye Family, among other families, planning to implement certain technologies on the first level during her time in Xiandu City.
Zhang Bi never expected they intended to directly unveil the high school Foundation Establishment qualification exam.
"What exactly are they trying to do? Are they planning to use this Foundation Establishment exam to promote new technology?"
Zhang Bi understands that each new technology’s promotion often pairs with attention-grabbing marketing strategies and gimmicks. Evidently, the Oasis Group now sees the Foundation Establishment exam as a gimmick.
As for the previous unspoken rules of the first level...
"They simply don’t care." Zhang Bi chuckled bitterly to herself, "It seems the rumors are true. A major figure from the second level will indeed come down to host Oasis Group’s operations."
The representatives from other surrounding companies also showed varied expressions, clearly contemplating the ramifications of the Oasis Group’s actions and their subsequent impact.
Meanwhile, the principal, accompanied by school leaders, had already received the representatives sent by the Oasis Group at the school gate.
Zhou Chechen followed rather aimlessly behind, yet his eyes occasionally wandered to the shimmering words in the sky.
"Foundation Establishment Certificate?"
"Did Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen pass the Foundation Establishment qualification exam?"
"How is that possible?"
Zhou Chechen’s first reaction was disbelief. Based on his information and understanding, high school students barely stood a chance of passing the Foundation Establishment qualification exam.
Simultaneously, Lanling unknowingly came beside him, asking in astonished uncertainty, "Can high school students also pass the Foundation Establishment qualification exam?"
"Isn’t that something for college students?"
Zhou Chechen did not answer, merely following the school leaders to meet the Oasis Group’s representatives alongside Lanling.
Similar to them, many other students crowded over to witness the spectacle.
If this were a typical day, the principal, school leaders, and student council president would have already started managing campus order, sending them back to study and cultivate. However, the commotion caused by the Oasis Group was too significant, engrossing everyone’s focus, leaving no one to care about the curious high school students surrounding them.
Meanwhile, at the direction of the school gate, as the principal and several school leaders arrived at the gate, the representatives of the Oasis Group had already stepped forward.
The leading middle-aged man had blood-red eyes, meticulously combed silver hair, and seemed always to carry a faint scent of blood.
Upon seeing the confused school leaders from Songyang High School, the man with blood-red eyes smiled and said, "Are you the school leaders of Songyang High School?"
"I’m the general manager of the Songyang City branch of the Oasis Group. My name is Chi He."
"We’ve come here this time because President Wang was deeply moved upon hearing about Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen’s achievements at your esteemed school."
"To support Songyang’s educational endeavor, President Wang has decided to donate 10 million to reward them, hoping they continue to strive vigorously, becoming someone who appreciates Kunxu, repays the company, and is useful to the university..."
Upon hearing the staggering figure of 10 million, the students surrounding involuntarily gasped in surprise, marveling at President Wang’s generosity from the Oasis Group.
They usually only heard about spending money to buy assets, muscles, or make loans for collateral.
But a donation rewarding students? What an unusual phrase.
Meanwhile, the school leaders, upon hearing this, had more embarrassed and bewildered expressions, partly shocked by the Oasis Group’s generosity and partly because they had no idea what deeds Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen accomplished to move President Wang.
Some school leaders wished to inquire about the meaning behind their sudden obtaining of the Foundation Establishment Certificate but didn’t know whether or not to ask, falling into silent contemplation.
Luckily, Chi He from the Oasis Group had already anticipated this. He smiled slightly at the embarrassed and silent leaders and explained, "Your students, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, recently traveled to Xiandu City and participated in the Foundation Establishment qualification exam for high school students. They achieved excellent results and won, being awarded the Foundation Establishment Certificate by the Heavenly Court, thus obtaining the Foundation Establishment qualification."
Chi He then briefly introduced the high school Foundation Establishment exam and the significance of passing this certificate, including how future Top Ten becomes an effortless entry.
During Chi He’s explanations, constant gasps of surprise erupted from the teachers and students present.
Someone exclaimed, "Zhang Yu is almost halfway into the Top Ten, stepping onto the second level!"
Another marveled, "Halfway? Didn’t you hear they said after the college entrance exam they can choose any school? This is more than halfway; I think most of their body is nearly in the second level."
Someone summed up, "Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen could be said to be standing at level 1.9."
An excited voice declared, "A school with double Foundation Establishment, Songyang City should now be called the four major high schools, and Songyang High School is the first among the four."
Hearing these words, the students nodded, all feeling that the Songyang High School emblem was more dazzling and their high school diploma more distinguished.
Standing not far away, Wang Hai silently rejoiced that he hadn’t joined Zhou Chechen’s plan last time.
At the same time, the teachers who had previously troubled Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had changed expressions.
Among them, the female physical education teacher who had poisoned Zhang Yu appeared more shaken.
Suddenly, it dawned on her, and she hurried to stand beside Wang Hai to ask, "Mr. Wang, I heard you initially had conflicts with Zhang Yu but later reconciled. How did you manage that?"
Wang Hai raised an eyebrow, rubbed his fingers, and said, "For such an important matter, you just ask like that?"
After the female teacher transferred 10,000 yuan, Wang Hai said, "Just like you did."
"That’s how I made peace with him."
"I gave 66,000 at that time, and now you... tsk tsk." Wang Hai shook his head, "Can’t say."
Lei Jun stood among the crowd, struck by Chi He’s words as if hit by lightning, shocked and bewildered to the extreme, "Foundation Establishment Certification?"
"Those two... they got the Foundation Establishment Certification in high school?"
Recalling how he hadn’t passed the exam even after ten years of university, but these two students got it in their sophomore year, all sorts of complex emotions surged in Lei Jun’s heart, nearly bringing him to tears.
To say there was no jealousy was impossible, but more than that, it was a sense of helplessness.
Lei Jun mused, "Comparing people is really meaningless. They’re only in high school, yet they’ve completely surpassed me."
On the other side, Zhou Chechen swayed, nearly collapsing if Lanling hadn’t supported him.
"High school Foundation Establishment Certification? There’s such a thing? Why have the elders in my family never mentioned this?"
Lanling angrily said, "I told you, when they were weak, we should have just had the deliveryman run them over and be done with it, look now... look..."
He kept saying "look," without knowing exactly what he wanted Zhou Chechen to see.
Zhou Chechen pushed away Lanling, who was supporting him, and glanced at him disdainfully.
"Run them over? Did you forget about the True God’s incident last time? If you’d dared to run him over six months ago, we might all be doomed. You think you can get that certification without some background? One we didn’t even know about?"
Finishing, he couldn’t be bothered to look at Lanling again, thinking why do I have someone like Lanling, an idiot, beside me, while Zhang Yu has someone like Bai Zhenzhen, a prodigy?
Amidst the noisy crowd, Zhao Tianxing said, trembling, "Foundation... Foundation Establishment Certification! Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen... as long as they pass the college entrance exam, they can just waltz into the top ten universes with this certification?!"
Qian Shen nodded slightly, saying, "It seems so."
Qian Shen’s gaze grew solemn, thinking, "So that’s it, there’s actually a high school Foundation Establishment Certification."
"I thought Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had already surpassed the evaluation scope of six subjects’ scores and competition rankings, that they were an evolved species beyond measure by scores."
"But it turns out I didn’t fully understand the whole college entrance exam system. Beyond the five subjects and competitions, there’s this high school Foundation Establishment exam score that can completely encapsulate Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen."
With this realization, Qian Shen breathed a deep sigh of relief, thinking, "Indeed... the entire college entrance exam system is flawless, validated and adjusted by countless experts and powerhouses, the optimal, most scientific, and most Immortal Path-evaluating system for a person."
On the street outside the school gate, Le Mulan had already seen the array of flying swords in the sky and later heard the words of Oasis Group’s Chi He.
Le Mulan mused, "As poor as they are, they’ve actually surpassed the results of all the wealthy people in Songyang City?"
She felt that the impression of the poor in her heart, which had been constantly changed by Zhang Yu over the year, was now completely shattered.
Then she thought, "So... Zhang Yu might attend the same top ten university as me? I wonder which one he will choose?"
"But this way, it might not be so easy to book Zhang Yu’s lessons in the future, even if it’s possible, it certainly won’t be as cheap as it is now."
Thinking that his value might skyrocket, a subtle emotion arose in her heart.
How to put it... the feeling in Le Mulan’s heart right now was a bit like someone suddenly discovering that their favorite practitioner has gone mainstream, become a streamer, and gone viral. Both sad that she had once booked him, and regretful that she won’t be able to book him in the future.
Le Mulan shook her head, casting aside the distracting thoughts, and informed Le Jingchen of the news first.
Upon hearing the news from his sister, Le Jingchen was startled at first, then after a moment of contemplation, he said, "When he comes back, try to contact him, strive to get his sweat, saliva, urine... any bodily fluid works."
"Oh right, try to get it original, don’t let your bodily fluids contaminate the samples."
"In any case, do your best, contact me if you need any support."
After hanging up, Le Jingchen thought to himself, "It must be Oasis Group’s Immortal Path technology that elevated Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen to this level."
"No wonder, no wonder these two paupers’ grades soared, no wonder there’s a True God backing them, turns out Oasis Group is the true mastermind behind the scenes."
"If I could obtain some samples from Zhang Yu and research something from them..."
On the other end of the phone, Le Mulan stared blankly at the disconnected call, falling into deep thought.
"Booking classes will definitely be tough."
"But I have the electronic key to the apartment, maybe I could hide under their bed..."
"No, there’s no bed in the apartment, then maybe hide in the closet?"
Le Mulan fell into confusion, feeling that her family had given her an impossible mission.
