Zhou Zhengyang and the other teachers were a little puzzled. Could it be that Li Feng’s famous reputation of being addicted to games had spread throughout the entire school and caused the school’s honor to be lost? Even the principal had personally come to ask about this.
The students below also became quiet. Since Principal Ye had spoken, the rankings for the Summer Dungeon Hunt had been determined.
However, there were still students who said indignantly, “This ranking is too nonsensical. The most hateful thing is that Li Feng is simply a lucky bastard. He could get first place just by casually playing games.”
This was what most of the students were thinking. It was fine if it was Yang Wei, a rich second-generation heir, but on what basis could Li Feng get first place?
“It’s just luck. However, no matter how lucky you are, you will be unlucky if you don’t have the ability,” said Jiang Sheng indifferently as if he had let go of his worries.
Lin Ling’er pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.. However, Xu Luo and Chen Dali both had indignant expressions.
…
On the bus, Li Feng was peacefully training his Assassin character. He didn’t know what the students outside were thinking. However, even if he knew, he didn’t care.
Ye Buzhou walked onto the bus and immediately saw Li Feng, who was playing games. He smiled and walked over to sit beside Li Feng. “Young man, you really like to play games.”
“No,” Li Feng answered without looking up.
The corners of Ye Buzhou’s mouth twitched as he forced a smile. “Heh heh, why are you indulging in gaming all day if you don’t like it?”
He had the urge to scold someone. After all, everyone in the school knew that Li Feng liked to play games.
“You don’t understand!” Li Feng’s answer was concise and powerful. If it weren’t for the fact that he could extract skills from the game, he wouldn’t have become addicted to the game.
Ye Buzhou took a deep breath and resisted the urge to turn around and leave. “How can I understand if you don’t tell me?”
“I don’t have to explain it to people who understand me. As for people who don’t understand me, I don’t have to explain to them!”
“I—” At this moment, Ye Buzhou wanted to say something, but he didn’t know where to start. Thus, he could only stare at Li Feng quietly.
Li Feng, who was in his seat, suddenly shivered. It was as if a powerful malicious intent was staring at him. Thus, he quickly put away his phone and saw an unfamiliar old man sitting beside him. Then, he said with an obedient look, “Hello, old man. What’s wrong? Do you need help? I’m very willing to serve you.”
As he spoke, he cursed inwardly. This old fellow was already so old, but he was actually scaring him.
Ye Buzhou sneered inwardly. It seemed that force was more useful. “Little fellow, I think highly of you. The college entrance examination is imminent. May I ask if you have a college that you like? Perhaps I can recommend a college to you.”
“Okay!”
Li Feng looked at the old man in surprise. He hadn’t expected the old man to ask such a question. However, after comparing the difference in strength between the two parties, he still answered honestly, “Beihai College is close by. Although it’s a little hard for me to get in, I still like it more. Fengdu College is alright, but it’s too far away. As for Yanhua College in the capital, I think it’s not bad. However, the consumption fees there are higher.”
Although Li Feng seemed indifferent to the college entrance examination, he actually had a certain understanding of them. These three schools were his targets.
“Beihai College is a little hard to get in, but Fengdu College is alright, and Yanhua College is not bad.” Ye Buzhou silently tried to calm himself down. He felt that he shouldn’t have talked to this humblebragging student without looking at the almanac today. It took him a few minutes before he could barely suppress the rage in his heart.
“The three colleges you’re talking about are the top three colleges in our Great Xia Kingdom, right? Are you confident that you can get into them?” If Ye Buzhou didn’t know about the strength Li Feng was hiding, he would have burst into laughter.
Li Feng nodded very seriously and said, “Yes, that’s right. Why?”
“Don’t you think that your goal is a little too high?” Ye Buzhou said indifferently, “Although your Primary-Rank skills are very powerful, it’s still very difficult to get into these three colleges. I recommend you to go to Jianye College. This college isn’t inferior to the three colleges you mentioned.”
Towards the end, Ye Buzhou became a little more confident. He glanced sideways at Li Feng as if to say, “I know about your hidden Primary-Rank skills. Don’t try to act in front of me with that little strength of yours.”
“There’s still a month before the college entrance exam. I’m confident,” said Li Feng calmly. He didn’t know how this old man in front of him knew that he had Primary-Grade skills. Perhaps the information from the Thunder Gobzan dungeon had been leaked. However, it didn’t matter even if others knew about it as a month was enough for him to extract another powerful skill. At that time, his strength would undergo a tremendous change.
Upon thinking of this, he added, “I’m not going to this college that you’re talking about. It’s filled with a bunch of rich second-generation heirs and second-generation officials. The atmosphere there is too bad.”
Li Feng had also learned about Jianye College. It was where a group of rich kids gathered. However, the reason why he didn’t go wasn’t because he couldn’t get into the college, but because he was poor.
“Why?” Ye Buzhou didn’t believe in this reason and questioned him closely.
Li Feng rolled his eyes at him. He didn’t want to say anything, but under the other party’s threatening gaze, he still said very honestly, “It’s because I’m poor.”
Ye Buzhou tugged at his beard. He hadn’t expected this reason because this term was too distant for him. He said with a sigh, “I never expected that there would really be people who can’t get into an educational institution because they don’t have money.”
Li Feng turned around silently and took out his phone again. His intention was very obvious. He didn’t want to talk to the old man anymore. It had always been others who were angry and didn’t want to talk to him, so he hadn’t expected the day when the reverse happened to come.
Was this what was often said, that Heaven rewarded the diligent and punished the sinners?
“Ahem!” Ye Buzhou coughed lightly. “I can discuss this with Jianye College. Perhaps they can waive your four years of tuition and miscellaneous fees on account of your talent.”
“Oh, there’s such a good thing?”
Li Feng’s eyes widened as stars flickered in them. He shook Ye Buzhou’s hands excitedly. “Are you serious?”
His parents had died, and he couldn’t even afford his high school tuition fees now. Thus, going to university would make things even worse. He hadn’t expected that someone would provide him with timely assistance.
“Of course, but you have to display your powerful talent. At the very least, for now, your talent isn’t enough. Those who can enter Jianye College are all either rich or noble. There are probably many who have mastered Primary-Rank skills,” said Ye Buzhou truthfully.
He was very calm. Although he thought highly of Li Feng’s talent, just relying on a single skill was probably not enough.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. When the time comes, just getting the title of the top scorer in the college entrance examination should be enough to prove my qualifications, right?” Li Feng patted his chest and guaranteed.
Ye Buzhou really couldn’t hold back this time. Thus, he stood up and snorted. “If you can become the top scorer in the college entrance examination, I’ll promise you that I’ll pay for your tuition fees and miscellaneous fees at Jianye College for four years.”
