135: Chapter 135 College Entrance Examination, Farewell

The end of June, a highly anticipated period.

28th, 29th, 30th!

These short three days will decide the fate of tens of millions of the Federation's new generation of gods.

"Do well on the exam!"

Standing outside the exam venue in Lanshi City, Chen Mo patted Bai Yuanyu on the shoulder, his tone teasing.

"Damn!"

Bai Yuanyu rolled his eyes speechlessly and looked at Du Ruo and Wu Feng, who were standing next to Chen Mo.

"Why is the gap between people so huge!"

Bai Yuanyu looked up and sighed deeply.

There is no harm without comparison; although most people in the class were not specially recruited by High Academies, all of his good friends had entered The Stars.

This left Bai Yuanyu unsure whether to be happy or sad.

"Don't be so dejected. The competition for this year's College Entrance Examination can be considered the smallest in history. The top five are out of reach, but you still have a chance to enter the Federation's top 100 High Academies."

Du Ruo said loudly.

Although Sihai Elite Academy had offered him a spot in the Elite Class, based on Chen Mo's advice, he ultimately chose the regular class at The Stars.

"I hope so!"

Bai Yuanyu naturally understood the logic.

This year's College Entrance Examination was indeed a bit strange; over 80% of the top students had been specially recruited by various High Academies in advance.

The remaining 20% were not overlooked by High Academies but were unwilling to settle, wanting to try for the top five through the College Entrance Examination.

For example, Ye Kaige, who transferred to Beidu First Academy; Chen Mo heard that he also rejected the special recruitment offer and chose to challenge the top five in the College Entrance Examination.

"Good luck!"

Wu Feng also offered his own blessings. Although the words were short, his gaze was very sincere.

"Don't worry, I'm off!"

Bai Yuanyu nodded at Wu Feng, then waved goodbye to the three and walked towards the exam venue.

"Sigh!"

Watching Bai Yuanyu's retreating figure, Du Ruo suddenly sighed.

Chen Mo naturally knew what the other was worried about and immediately spoke up to comfort him.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even in a regular class, there are still opportunities to get ahead."

"I know, Teacher Tan Feng mentioned it to me."

Du Ruo nodded. The reason he gave up the spot in the Elite Class at Sihai Elite Academy, besides his friends' persuasion, was largely due to something Tan Feng had said.

The streaming system for special recruitment classes is not immutable; students in regular classes also have the hope of entering the Elite Class or even the Prodigy Class.

Du Ruo had always been a proud person. With something to look forward to, he was naturally more willing to choose The Stars, which had a higher ceiling.

"Let's work hard together!"

Taking a deep breath, Du Ruo regained his usual confidence, and a smile appeared on his face once again.

"Yeah!" Wu Feng nodded, but his gaze couldn't help but turn to Chen Mo.

Previously, he didn't really have a clear goal; he just wanted to use his own efforts to make his mother and younger sister live a better life.

But now he did.

Chen Mo was his goal to catch up to!

Three days later, one early morning, outside the Chen family's clan grounds.

"Third Uncle! I'm leaving."

Chen Mo stood outside the gate of the clan grounds, looking at the clan members who had come to see him off.

Third Uncle Chen Xueli, Aunt Chen Lan, as well as a series of elder relatives from the collateral branches and some younger brothers and sisters who were younger than Chen Mo.

"Go!"

Chen Xueli, who stood at the very front, had eyes full of emotion and hope as he waved at Chen Mo.

"Brother Mo, I don't want you to leave."

Chen Xiaoshan, who had the best relationship with Chen Mo among the younger generation, sprinted and rushed into Chen Mo's arms.

The other's weight, despite his young age, was substantial enough that even Chen Mo was knocked back half a step.

"It's not that you don't want me to leave; it's that you don't want to lose the pocket money I give you!"

Chen Mo said half-jokingly and half-seriously, shaking his head as he quietly slipped something into Chen Xiaoshan's hand.

"This is..."

Chen Xiaoshan was just about to speak when Chen Mo covered his mouth.

"Be good, send me a message if anything happens."

Finally, pulling on Chen Xiaoshan's chubby face, Chen Mo hesitated no longer. His figure suddenly soared into the air, flying towards the inter-domain flying ship that had been waiting for a long time.

The streamlined hull of the flying ship clearly had the words "The Stars" written on it; it was clearly sent by The Stars to pick him up.

"Brother Mo... thank you!"

Chen Xiaoshan tightly gripped the Spring Spirit Jade in his hand, his eyes reddening as he watched Chen Mo's retreating figure.

Among the various transcendent systems in the Main World, apart from the Divine Path, the most money-burning one was the Arcane Mage system.

Chen Xiaoshan wanted to quickly advance to Demigod; the demand for various elemental spirit items was immense, and this second-grade spirit item was enough to serve as the foundation for him to achieve the status of an Arcane God.

"Sit down. We'll make one more trip to the Wu family, and then everyone will be here."

Inside the cabin of the flying ship, as Chen Mo walked in, Tan Feng, who was in charge of recruitment in Lanshi City, immediately stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Okay, Teacher Tan Feng."

Chen Mo responded with a smile, while looking at Du Ruo, who was a bit reserved not far away.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Mo walked up to Du Ruo.

"Nothing, just a bit nervous."

Excitement, worry, anxiety—various emotions surged all at once in the moment before heading to The Stars, making Du Ruo feel a bit unaccustomed.

"Not to mention anything else, just in terms of mindset, I'm not as good as Chen Mo."

Looking at his friend who was composed and at ease, Du Ruo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Keep a normal mindset, don't overthink it," Chen Mo comforted him, and the flying ship had already arrived at a relatively remote urban area in Lanshi City.

This place was considered the old town of Lanshi City; due to the changes of the times, it had long since lost its former prosperity, and those living here were mostly elderly people or families with poor financial circumstances.

Facts proved that in any era, no matter how abundant resources were, the wealth gap always existed.

Although the Federation had already guaranteed everyone's survival, it was only just survival.

To live well and enjoy this prosperous era of gods, one had to either become a powerhouse or possess sufficient scarcity.

Becoming a god was often just the foundation.

Ordinary transcendent Demigods in this era were an oversupplied resource, just like college students in Chen Mo's previous life—they were not valuable.

"What is that?"

The moment the flying ship hovered, it immediately attracted the attention of the local residents.

In this era of information explosion, even those at the bottom of society had the most basic knowledge.

They all knew The Stars, but they had never imagined that a flying ship from The Stars would come to their "slum."

But even more unbelievable things were yet to come.

Under the gaze of many neighbors, a figure suddenly flew up from a detached yet somewhat old small courtyard.

"Mom, little sister, I'm leaving. Contact me via the virtual wristwatch if anything happens. Yes, the one I bought for little sister."

Wu Feng looked reluctantly at his mother, who had walked out of the small courtyard, and his ten-year-old sister. He gritted his teeth and headed towards the flying ship in the air.
