Results announced, college students come

June 8th.

Today was the first day after the college entrance examination ended.

However, Jiangcheng was even livelier than before the exams.

Because the efficiency of professionals nowadays far exceeded that of ordinary people before the Great Cataclysm.

Calculating scores was much simpler.

Naturally, the results were announced much faster by the Guild.

In other words, today was the day the results were released.

However, compared to previous years,

the people of Jiangcheng this year were more interested in the information on the 9th.

Currently, direct communication between major main cities was difficult, so information about results from other places could generally only be obtained on the 9th.

With the live broadcast of the college entrance examination scores, everyone knew that Jiangcheng had produced a prodigy like Lin Xuan.

He was undoubtedly the top scholar of Jiangcheng.

So, while everyone was excited, they were even more eager to see if he could claim the title of national top scholar!

"A national top scholar, our Jiangcheng hasn't produced one in over five hundred years!"

"It's still too early to talk about a national top scholar. I've been following new professionals in other places these past few days, and this year is also a talent explosion."

"Heh heh, no matter how many talents explode, can they be stronger than Lin Xuan? Three thousand three hundred-plus combat points in the martial arts examination, even General Li, the current strongest person in Xia Kingdom, didn't achieve that back then!"

"Stop arguing, the final college entrance examination results are out!"

"[June, 525, Jiangcheng College Entrance Examination Gold List]"

"[First Place: Lin Xuan, Final Score: 2652]"

"[Second Place: Lu Qinghan, Final Score: 1432]"

"[Third Place: Luo…]"

"Hiss—"

"2652 points! Calculated with 70% combat points and 30% performance points."

"Lin Xuan must have gotten full marks for performance!"

"Haha, the highest score in the history of Xia Kingdom's college entrance examination was 1750. Lin Xuan is nearly a thousand points higher, the national top scholar is a sure thing!"

At this moment, almost everyone in Jiangcheng had a hint of pride on their faces.

After the game merged with reality,

thirty-six large main cities and seventy-two small main cities appeared within Xia Kingdom.

Jiangcheng was among the bottom ten of the seventy-two small main cities.

Weak strength meant fewer resources.

This led to many professionals, after growing up, being unwilling to develop in Jiangcheng.

Without enough powerful professionals,

Jiangcheng's development had formed a vicious cycle.

Now, Lin Xuan, by virtue of his college entrance examination results, became famous in one fell swoop!

This would also draw more attention to this small city.

It might even lead Xia Kingdom to allocate more resources.

It could be said that this single national top scholar alone

could drive the development of the entire city!

"Shock! Ordinary professional youth, counterattacks to become the national top scholar!"

"Who says small cities can't produce great figures? Jiangcheng's handsome youth takes first place nationally!"

"Uncovering the growth history of top scholar Lin Xuan: From a slum 'problem solver' to the historical first in the martial arts examination!"

Countless news media began reporting on Lin Xuan's affairs.

Even Lin Xuan's home was constantly being visited.

Lin Xuan had anticipated this and had already left home.

He had just obtained a powerful skill book, Undead Rebirth.

Although he had a Magic Card that could expand skill slots,

to be safe,

Lin Xuan still decided to level up to twenty.

He would only learn it after unlocking a new skill slot.

"Ding dong~~~"

Before he even reached the city gate, his phone rang.

Lin Xuan saw it was Chairman Shen, whose contact information he had added last night.

"Lin Xuan, are you home right now?"

"Heh heh, I have a few university admissions teachers here who want to see you."

"Admissions teachers?" Lin Xuan was a bit surprised.

Today was the first day the results were announced.

And admissions teachers were already here?

There were no airplanes or high-speed trains like before the Great Cataclysm now.

"Could it be a teleportation array?"

"Then they're really willing to spend money."

Many people knew that Jiangcheng had a teleportation array.

But the cost was very high, and the teleportation distance was limited.

"It seems the admissions teachers looking for me have some information. Could it be about my talent?"

As Lin Xuan thought, he heard a voice again.

"Where are you now? I'll send someone to pick you up. They're waiting for you at the association."

"Alright, I'm by the South City Gate."

The call ended.

Lin Xuan waited in place. At this time, in the Chairman's office of the Professionals' Association,

Chairman Shen Wanhe was entertaining five guests in the room.

"Lin Xuan will be here soon, please have a seat first."

"But, you all are really quick. You rushed over already."

"The teleportation array cost must be tens of thousands, right?"

He hung up the phone and chatted with them, smiling.

The people in the room were all admissions representatives from the strongest universities in Xia Kingdom's five major super main cities.

They were considered important figures, but not so important as to warrant such courtesy from him, a city's Professionals' Association Chairman.

"Chairman Shen, you jest. With such a talent emerging from Jiangcheng, we naturally have to show our sincerity."

There were five people in the room, three men and two women.

The one speaking was a middle-aged man with a beard.

He was from Jingbei University, the strongest university in Xia Kingdom.

"Chairman Shen, is Lin Xuan's talent really S-rank?"

While Lin Xuan hadn't arrived, a high-ponytail woman wearing glasses asked a question.

She was an admissions teacher from Tianfu University, the strongest university in Xiangchuan City.

Despite her feminine appearance, everyone present knew she was a short-tempered pugilist.

"Heh heh, I know the reason you all rushed here is because of Lin Xuan's S-rank talent."

"If anyone has questions about this, you can wait for the potential dragon list to be released after the national college entrance examination results are confirmed." Shen Wanhe explained with a smile.

"potential dragon list." The people in the room were somewhat silent.

This was a ranking of the potential of new professionals nationwide, released annually after the college entrance examination results.

It contained very detailed descriptions of the professionals on the list.

But that would take at least a week to come out.

By then, a competitor might have already recruited Lin Xuan.

Several admissions teachers exchanged glances.

They said no more.

Time slowly passed.

The Professionals' Association building was located in the most central part of Jiangcheng.

When Lin Xuan arrived,

an hour had passed since he received the call.

Pushing open the door,

he saw five unfamiliar professionals.

Three men and two women.

Of the men, two were tall and one was short; one of the tall ones had a beard, and the other wore glasses.

The short one was a bit plump and looked very amiable.

Of the women, one was tall and one was short; the tall one was a bit like an older sister figure.

The short one was very cute and seemed not much older than Lin Xuan.

"This is Lin Xuan."

Seeing Lin Xuan enter, Shen Wanhe introduced him to the others.

"Hello, my name is Fang Zheng, from the Jingbei University Admissions Office."

"Hello, Lin Xuan, my name is Li Ming, from Mingzhu University. You can call me Teacher Li."

"My name is Chen Kang, from Shanhe University…"

"..."

Several teachers stood up and introduced themselves to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan nodded in response to each one.

After a brief chat and getting acquainted, everyone got down to business.

The first to extend an olive branch was Fang Zheng from Jingbei University.

"Lin Xuan, I'm sure you know why we're here: to invite you to join the universities we represent."

"Of course, we are just a small part of the universities; the choice is entirely yours."

"As for the conditions, I'll go first. If you come to our school, we'll give you a direct bonus of two million."

"In addition, we will also provide a two-million scholarship, disbursed fifty thousand annually regardless of your academic performance."

A direct payment plus scholarship, a total of four million gold coins!

Fifty thousand gold coins were enough for an ordinary family of four for an entire year, let alone four million!

Lin Xuan was stunned by this offer.

He hadn't expected the benefits to be so generous.

However, an even bigger surprise was yet to come.

The admissions advisors from the other universities were not to be outdone.

Shanhe University offered a total of three million, plus a choice of three purple-grade pieces of equipment before level fifty, and one orange-grade piece of equipment.

Tianfu University also offered three million, and a choice of five purple-grade pieces of equipment, along with two orange-grade pieces.

These two universities were inland and lacked ocean resources, so they offered slightly less money.

But the equipment could represent greater value.

However, this seemed somewhat insufficient compared to Canghai University.

Canghai University, located in Nanhai City, undoubtedly had the most abundant resources in Xia Kingdom.

It not only had oceans but also various tropical forests, lakes, and other resources.

It attracted professionals from almost all over the country and even the world.

The number of people even exceeded that of Shanhe City, which was located in the Central Plains.

Because of this, Canghai University directly offered three million gold coins, plus a choice of any purple Magic Card!

Hearing 'Magic Card,' the other admissions advisors were somewhat surprised.

This was a bit too generous!

One must know that a genius who hasn't grown up is not a genius at all!

Was Canghai University that optimistic about Lin Xuan?

Facing the doubts of the people in the room, the admissions advisor from Canghai University did not explain much.

In fact, Nanhai City, where he was located, had the strongest intelligence organization in the country, the Penguin Guild.

Before coming, he had received important information about Lin Xuan from there!

At this moment, Lin Xuan was also silent in the face of these benefits.

He knew that his current achievements were due not only to his talent but also to the multiple Lightning Skeletons!

Just as Lin Xuan was hesitating, Mingzhu University, the last one, also stated its conditions.

Six million gold coins, plus two purple-grade pieces of equipment of any level!

"Lin Xuan, these are the resources we are offering you."

"Of course, there are still top universities like Modu University and Hanwu University that haven't had time to contact you."

"However, I believe the resources they invest will not be more than ours."

"So, is there any university you'd like to go to?"
