17: Admission qualifications

“Oh? Li Wenzhe? I’ve never heard of him before.”

Hearing that name, the Dean of Students was momentarily stunned.

Although Li Wenzhe was a student in the advanced class, his academic performance wasn't that of a top student.

His usual studies were just so-so, and his test scores were in the middle to lower ranks of the class.

Compared to Lu Xueqing, he originally had little presence among the teachers.

However.

Just recently, several teachers in the office had come to know that name.

The reason was simple.

It was because Li Wenzhe had entered the forbidden zone and successfully completed an extraction.

Initially, everyone found it unbelievable.

However, after understanding his family background, all doubts vanished.

Li Wenzhe’s father was the boss of Leijian Group, single-handedly controlling 15% of Haibei City’s construction materials.

One could say that half of the new urban area currently under development in Haibei City was built by their family.

With such immense wealth, the Li family ranked among the top five in the entire Haibei City.

However, the Li family had a fatal flaw.

Their family, to this day, did not have a GTI member above Platinum Level!

This led to the Li family having no industries related to the forbidden zone!

This was an era of National restricted area (Forbidden Zones for All) and Knife Running (Running Knives for All).

Industries spawned by the arrival of the forbidden zones had long become the core of the financial economy.

Whether it was real estate, stocks, or currency, the financial value of all items was deeply influenced by the forbidden zones.

School district housing was outdated; what was popular now was speculating on forbidden zone housing.

The rise and fall of group stocks depended on how much value the company extracted from the forbidden zones.

And the currency value of various countries was even more affected by forbidden zone materials.

Therefore, in this era.

Whether a group could establish itself locally and become an evergreen tree for a hundred years depended on its understanding of the forbidden zone economy.

Whoever could master forbidden zone economics could master the entire market!

......

“Dean, that’s roughly the situation.”

Chen Ping, the homeroom teacher of Class Two, briefly introduced Li Wenzhe’s situation.

Upon learning that Li Wenzhe was actually the young master of Leijian Group, the Dean of Students was also deeply shocked.

“So that’s how it is... Our school actually has such a talent!”

“Indeed, if it’s Li Wenzhe, I believe getting a 500,000 extraction won’t be a problem.”

“Even a million extraction isn’t impossible.”

“One of the three recommendation spots can also be legitimately given to him.”

The Dean of Students nodded silently.

Then he handed two forms to the two homeroom teachers respectively.

At this point, only one spot for recommendation to Qingbei remained.

“So, does anyone have any thoughts on the third candidate?”

“Dean, I think Liu Shihhan from our Class Four is good.”

A female homeroom teacher spoke up.

“Although our Class Four is not an advanced class, her grades are the best among the regular classes.”

“Liu Shihhan can get into the top five of the grade in every exam, and I think that’s worth encouraging.”

“After all, there are three spots, we can’t just give them to the advanced classes, can we?”

The female homeroom teacher said.

The other homeroom teachers next to her were whispering among themselves.

“Liu Shihhan? Is that the girl who usually likes to wear makeup and dress up?”

“I heard she’s also our school’s campus belle.”

“Campus belle? That’s not bad, and her grades are so good too.”

Regarding Liu Shihhan.

The impression of the homeroom teachers was only two words: beautiful.

Her usual makeup and dressing had quite the celebrity flair, and both her figure and looks were model-level.

What the homeroom teachers didn’t expect was that her academic performance was also good.

Normally, girls who liked to wear makeup and dress up generally weren’t fond of studying.

However, with Liu Shihhan, this stereotype was broken.

Not only were her academic grades excellent, but she was also multi-talented.

Her presence was seen in the school’s art performances, sports festivals, and so on.

“Moreover, Liu Shihhan has been on leave recently, and it seems she’s also preparing to enter the forbidden zone.”

The female homeroom teacher of Class Four added.

“If her forbidden zone performance is also good, I suggest the third candidate be confirmed as her!”

As soon as this was said.

The Dean of Students also nodded silently.

Campus belle Liu Shihhan’s conditions were indeed qualified.

Although there were others with better grades than her, it was also reasonable to reserve a spot for a regular class.

“Oh, right.”

Just as the third spot was about to be confirmed.

Chen Ping, the homeroom teacher of Class Two, suddenly spoke up.

“Teacher Yu, didn’t a student from your class also go to the forbidden zone?”

“Seeing how readily you approved his leave, I believe he must also be able to achieve good results in the forbidden zone, right?”

“Why don’t we hold off on this third spot and wait for that student from your class?”

Chen Ping’s words were full of sarcasm.

And the mockery in his words was only understood by Yu Youya.

She frowned, staring angrily at Chen Ping.

This bald old man really knows how to dig a pit for others to jump into!

“Oh? Teacher Yu, does your class also have a candidate?”

The Dean of Students asked.

As the Dean of Students, he naturally hoped for as many excellent students as possible.

Of course, this excellence mainly referred to excellent forbidden zone performance.

In this era of Knife Running (Running Knives for All), the direction of education had already shifted towards the forbidden zones.

The goal of the entire education system was to cultivate talents for the forbidden zones.

Although at the high school stage, schools only required students to study theory and did not require them to be able to extract from the forbidden zones.

However, if a student could accomplish this, it was equivalent to completing university courses in advance.

The Qingbei recommendation spots were also for this purpose.

To prevent some students who already had the ability to search and extract in the forbidden zones from being overlooked by the system due to poor performance in exams.

“Dean, Teacher Chen Ping is just joking.”

Yu Youya forced a smile, suppressing her anger from flaring up in front of everyone.

Although she really wanted to take off her high heels and smash them hard at Chen Ping’s face with the heel, she still tried her best to restrain that impulse.

“That boy in our class, he just went to try his luck.”

“Hahaha, Teacher Yu is really humble. Who doesn’t know you’re a Diamond Level GTI agent with a million extraction?”

The Dean of Students said with a smile.

It was clear that he didn’t understand Yu Youya’s explanation.

Instead, he thought Yu Youya was being humble.

But it was normal, after all, Yu Youya was a special presence among this group of homeroom teachers.

The Dean of Students naturally had too high expectations for her and her students.

“We are naturally confident in your students, so it seems this third spot must be reserved for now.”

“Well then, the meeting is adjourned.”

......

“Master, why are we here?”

Lu Xueqing asked with a puzzled expression.

Just now, Xiao Yun had led her all the way through the Parking Lot.

Then they arrived at the container, and after entering the container, they went inside the Zero Dam.

Fortunately, all the bots along the way had been cleared, so the two arrived here without disturbing anyone.

“Don’t you know what this place is for?”

Xiao Yun asked back.

“No, I don’t.”

Lu Xueqing looked innocent.

She had never entered a search area before, fearing being dragged into combat.

If it weren’t for this being a classified difficulty, with Asala Soldiers densely positioned, she would have already slipped away.

“Oh no! Could it be that people in this world don’t even know how to pull the lever and extract?”

Seeing Lu Xueqing’s reaction, Xiao Yun appeared a bit nervous for the first time.

However, the next second, a whistle sounded from above.

“Attention, someone has activated the Zero Dam industrial elevator. You can now extract from the elevator shaft inside the Zero Dam.”
