One billion? (Third update)

When Lin Xiao heard 'one hundred million,' the light in his eyes intensified!

“Great! Principal Chu is really good to me!”

He quickly raised his hand and high-fived him.

“A gentleman’s word!”

This confused Principal Chu. He looked at Lin Xiao again, seriously. Was he for real?

The Dragon Country's top brass acted quickly.

Soon, the Ministry of Education issued an announcement: tomorrow, the national College Entrance Examination rankings for this year would be released.

Although the students already knew their own rankings, other people didn't!

Time slowly slipped by amidst this tense anticipation.

The next morning,

The scorching sun cast its rays upon the earth.

Countless people were eagerly awaiting online, anticipating the imminent College Entrance Examination results.

Some parents who already knew their children's scores were also waiting for this moment; they had already planned how to show off in front of other parents.

The Ministry of Education's official website showed activity!

At this moment, everyone rushed in, almost crashing the official website's server!

“Let me see, who is first!”

“Damn! Lin Xiao, it’s Lin Xiao!”

“Am I seeing things? A first-year high school student taking the College Entrance Examination is already crazy, and now you’re telling me he’s the national top scorer?”

“Holy crap! It really is Lin Xiao! Qin Li is actually only ranked second?”

They went crazy! Everyone went crazy!

Lin Xiao’s name once again became a sensation across the entire Dragon Country.

Parents in every street and alley were talking about Lin Xiao.

“Son, when you grow up, you must become someone like Lin Xiao!”

Some parents spoke earnestly to their children, hoping for them to become a Dragon.

“Holy crap! Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!”

No. 3 Middle School Principal’s office.

Principal Chu looked at the announcement from the Ministry of Education, and for a moment, he wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him.

How could the name at the top of the list be so familiar?

“Lin Xiao! Holy crap!!!”

He exited the official website, then re-entered, repeating the process many times.

Finally,

He shouted excitedly, dancing around the office like a child.

“Hahahahaha!!! My school has produced a national top scorer!!!”

His laughter was like thunder.

Suddenly, his door was knocked, and District Chief Ma’s voice came from outside.

“Old Chu, congratulations!!”

District Chief Ma was beaming with joy. No. 3 Middle School had produced a national top scorer, and when he first found out, he was also incredibly surprised!

But immediately after, he set off to come here!

This was a national top scorer from their Pingan District!

At this moment, Lin Xiao was soaking in the bathtub in his new home. He hadn't showered in days!

The phone suddenly rang.

“Lin Xiao! Great Master Lin! My dear Great Master! Why are you so awesome?!” A very familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lin Xiao disdainfully put the phone on speaker and tossed it aside.

“Fatty, just say what you need to say!”

“Hehehe! Lin Xiao, we’re like brothers! As your best friend, I had to be the first to congratulate you on becoming the national top scorer!”

Wang Ye!

One of Lin Xiao’s few friends.

Wang Ye on the phone was very excited. His friend, his best buddy, was the national top scorer!

He could brag about this for a lifetime!

“That’s it?”

“Hehehe, it’s just, when are you free to come over for dinner? My old man said he’s prepared a very lavish dinner at great expense!”

“No problem. When is Uncle free?”

“Brother Xiao, you’re my true brother! I’ll go find the old man now and contact you as soon as the time is confirmed!”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao was about to close his eyes and rest when the phone rang again.

This time, the caller was Principal Chu!

“Hello! Lin Xiao! Where are you?!”

His voice was somewhat deafening!

Lin Xiao quickly moved the phone away from his ear, “Principal, I’m at home now. I’ll come over to you shortly…”

“You don’t need to come. District Chief Ma and I will come directly!”

“Beep beep beep…”

Well, Lin Xiao looked at the hung-up phone. This bath couldn't continue!

Not long after, two figures appeared outside the door.

“Lin Xiao! Open the door!”

So fast!

Lin Xiao quickly went forward and opened the door. Principal Chu and District Chief Ma were dusty from their journey, having flown over with sparks and lightning, their hairstyles all messed up by the wind.

“Hahahaha! Lin Xiao, you little… I don’t even know what to say, hahahaha!”

Principal Chu felt like he had used up a lifetime’s worth of laughter recently; he was either laughing or on his way to laughing.

The more he looked at Lin Xiao, the more he liked him!

“Did you already know your score, kid? National top scorer!”

Principal Chu truly couldn’t believe that his school had produced a national top scorer; he felt like he was floating when he walked now!

District Chief Ma also stepped forward. He looked at Lin Xiao, wanting to say a few congratulatory words, but suddenly didn’t know what to say.

As a district chief, he was considered someone who had seen a lot of the world!

But even he never dared to dream that a national top scorer would appear in his jurisdiction!

There were hundreds of districts in the entire Dragon Country, and their Pingan District was at the bottom, lacking resources and having no advantage compared to the stronger districts!

Even the entire district didn't have a single Martial King-level Expert. Could you believe that a place in such a remote corner could produce a national top scorer?

“Lin Xiao, I won’t say anything extra! Congratulations on becoming the national top scorer!”

District Chief Ma pulled out a card from his pocket. This was something he and Principal Chu had decided on the way. Knowing that Lin Xiao liked money, they decided to just give him money!

Lin Xiao’s eyes immediately lit up. He quickly took the card with both hands and looked at the amount inside—a full one hundred million!

“Thank you, District Chief Ma! District Chief Ma is generous!”

At the same time, he looked at his principal, his gaze self-evident.

“You little rascal, do you think I’d run away?!” Principal Chu waved his hand grandly and also gave Lin Xiao a card.

Another one hundred million!

A total of two hundred million received!

Awesome!

The two of them chatted with Lin Xiao about many things, mainly about the choice of universities later. Principal Chu told Lin Xiao not to rush his decision, but to wait for a better offer!

The value of being a national top scorer was enough for those top universities to go all out, even if it meant a huge cost, to get him!

Lin Xiao understood. He hadn't yet decided which university he should choose.

Therefore, Principal Chu even specially gave him a rundown, introducing the five most outstanding universities in the Dragon Country, so he would have an idea beforehand!

“Someone should be coming to find you in the next two days. You should rest well, and if you need anything, contact me anytime!”

After speaking, Principal Chu and District Chief Ma left, very happy.

“Ding! Detected that the Host can redeem 2,000,000 Cultivation Points. Would you like to redeem?”

Lin Xiao’s face darkened. System, are you that impatient?

“Redeem!”

Watching his Cultivation Points reach 2,010,001, Lin Xiao was a bit excited; he had never been so wealthy!

He had to think carefully about how to improve himself!

“System, open personal panel!”

“Ding, personal panel opened!”

Lin Xiao noticed that his Cultivation Technique, Primordial Chaos Limitless Great Dao Scripture, didn't have a '+' sign after it. He was a bit stunned.

“System, how many Cultivation Points do I need to upgrade the Primordial Chaos Limitless Great Dao Scripture?”

“Ding, Primordial Chaos Limitless Great Dao Scripture Major Achievement requires 10,000,000 Cultivation Points.”

“Hiss!”

Ten million?

That’s one billion!

Lin Xiao’s recently excited heart was immediately extinguished. This was too expensive!

(The novice zone is about to end, and Lin Xiao is about to step onto the grand stage of the starry sky!)
