"Whether he is a gifted commoner or a child of an aristocratic family with a hidden identity, tonight at 9:30, we will take you to explore the rise of Zhou Chuan, the top scorer in the college entrance examination."
"Talented but without moral integrity? He made such a bold statement after the written test. I am disappointed with the person who wrote the test. The top scorer in the college entrance examination is so arrogant!"
"Hello everyone, I am a netizen from Jiuzhou South Region. I would like to ask, where did Zhou Chuan learn his ancient knowledge?" (This post has been reported and deleted)
"The pride of the North and Dragon Province, what is the secret behind Zhou Chuan's growth? It turns out that he had a good breakfast!"
As public opinion fermented, Zhou Chuan, a little-known celebrity who had become famous in the north some time ago, became a nationally renowned figure in just half a day.
You know, although a considerable number of children from aristocratic families of appropriate age are directly admitted to major universities, as one of the biggest ways for ordinary people to advance in their careers, the college entrance examination is still a super event that attracts worldwide attention.
Anyone who can win the championship in such a grand event will inevitably receive a lot of attention, and both praise and questioning are inevitable.
The core point all comes from one thing: where did Zhou Chuan's ancient knowledge come from
…
Huashan, Wangjian Peak.
Three old men with sharp eyes and eyebrows sat opposite an old man with an ethereal temperament.
"Old man Chu, just say one word, are you going to sell my face or not?" the leading old man asked, staring into the old man's eyes.
"Why does Zhao Shuai have to embarrass me..."
Facing this old, tired but still mighty tiger, the old man said softly without fear: "If he really has talent, my Sword Academy will take the initiative to recruit him. If he doesn't, no matter who he is, I will not accept him."
"That kid is the winner of a regional competition and the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Is that not something you like?" Mr. Fu said in a deep voice.
"It's just a small place and a place for young people to take the imperial examination. General Fu, have you ever heard of the sword exam for the whole country?" the old man replied bluntly.
"Hahahaha! Good, good, good!" Old Zhao slowly stood up. His burly body blocked out the sun, and his shadow covered the entire body of the old man opposite.
"Don't think I don't know your little tricks. I'll keep this in mind and I'll have something to say when we meet in the future!"
After saying that, the three old men left Huashan. The old man still looked neither sad nor happy, but there was something more in his vicissitudes of life eyes.
"This old dog actually dared to put his personal grudge on the official business of recruiting students... and even dared to say that he would recruit people based on their talents. He really thinks Wen Jian is the master of all the Xia. Is he worthy of that?" Old Chu scolded.
But Mr. Fu, who used to have the most explosive temper, calmed down at this time and said, "Given the character of that old guy, he dares to be so tough. Most likely, he got something extraordinary from the Huashan ruins."
"It's a pity that our Ah Chuan can't go to school there. Otherwise, with his talent and ability, if he could make it out of Huashan, he would definitely be able to make it big."
After a moment of silence, Mr. Zhao consoled him, "Don't worry too much. The child's talent is there. There's still plenty of time. Let's go to each of the five academies built near the ruins. If it doesn't work, we can sacrifice our reputation and go to Youdu. Why isn't that a good way?"
"Haha, that's what the monitor said!"
At the same time, Coal Hill, Shuhe Hall.
"Abei, go pick up our future junior." said the handsome young man with squinted eyes.
"Why not you go?" asked the short young man.
"Because I'm a lazy dog."
“… address, name, appearance.”
"Long Province Baihu, surnamed Zhou and given name Chuan, what does he look like..."
The lazy young man took out a mobile phone from his heart, and casually switched to a browser with an orange icon. Seeing the prompt that the unclosed web pages were about to be restored, he quickly pressed the return button and finally found a news article related to Zhou Chuan on the homepage.
"The top scorer's notes are newly released, with a genius's unique thinking. The pre-sale price is so high?"
"Look, this is it." Senior Lazy Dog said, pointing at the face on the screen.
"He's still a handsome guy." Ah Bei said expressionlessly.
"Clean it up properly and don't lose face for Zhu Xia."
"I know, I know." Ah Bei sighed and slowly stood up.
Senior Lazy Dog watched him leave, then glanced at Zhou Chuan on the phone screen, and couldn't help but smile: "With the support of ghosts and gods, facing such a 'star', Dongying will probably be very happy."
…
"Teacher Liang, please arrange it as soon as possible. I'm in a hurry to take graduation photos for the next class."
"I know."
"Hey, Ah Yan, you're taller, stand back a little, Gu Chao, you stand to the side... Okay, Master, you can take the photo."
"Okay, Mr. Liang, take a look, how is the photo?"
“That’s really good.”
On the playground of Chengfeng Middle School, the 19th grade graduates were scattered around by class, waiting to take graduation photos.
The person in charge of card making was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, and had quite good photography skills.
"Teacher Liang, can I take a separate photo of our top student? It can be used for our school's enrollment in the future!"
"Achuan, is it okay?"
"No problem, go ahead and shoot."
After saying that, Zhou Chuan followed the photographer to a deserted corner.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Zhou Chuan went straight to the point.
"As expected of the number one scholar, you have a good eye." The young man chuckled and took out an ID from his pocket to show it to Zhou Chuan: "I am the president of the Photography Association of Nantian University. I came here this time to ask Zhou Chuan about his intention to apply for the exam on behalf of the school."
"Yanbei, Fortress, Nantian, Beimang, Sand City... Just choose from these five." Zhou Chuan smiled and said, "Could it be possible to go to Zhuxia?"
"Zhu Xia... With Zhou Chuan's talent, it's hard to say for sure."
As a graduate of Chengfeng Middle School, Zhou Chuan's senior and fellow villager, the young man certainly would not keep talking about how great his alma mater is just because of the school's tasks. People know the facts well, and there is no need for him to say those things.
"That's the academy founded by the legendary 'ancestor', the dream of all card players." Zhou Chuan said softly: "But speaking of it, if the alliance hadn't established the Ten Schools Association a few years ago and ranked it at the top, I would have thought that this school had disappeared long ago."
"It's always been there. The Ten Schools Association holds related competitions or ruins exploration activities every year. I was lucky enough to participate in one, and I have to say... those players are the real culprits! Making purple cards in their early twenties, what kind of perverts are they..."
The young man stopped talking here, and suddenly realized that the man in front of him was even more perverted than those guys he had seen before, and he couldn't help but swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"I will consider Nantian. Thank you for clearing up my doubts." Zhou Chuan said softly.
"It's okay. I still have to take pictures for another class. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, the young man turned and headed in another direction.
