940 Tutoring (1/2)
”Very good!”
Fang Yuan clenched his fist in joy, knowing that he had managed to cheat the instrument to give the result of a 30% brain development.
”Everyone can see their own achievements. The smart-brain will formulate a more reasonable plan based on where you are lacking for your last sprint! Lin Meng, come with me!”
Fang Yuan shrugged and followed Xiao Hongyue out of the classroom.
”Total score: 264, Brain Development: 30%?” Xiao Hongyue could not hide the surprise in her tone. ”All right, Lin Meng! Your score will allow you to enter a cultivation university… Their cut-off point is usually around 250. The cut-off for top cultivation universities such as Six Extremes Imperial Dragon University and Fengwu Nine Heavens Academy is around 270. You have to keep it up! And… your brain development?”
”I said before, I feel fine!” Fang Yuan shrugged again. ”Perhaps the instrument in the hospital was faulty, or perhaps I'm slowly recovering after being discharged. Who knows?”
”Is that so?” Xiao Hongyue asked suspiciously, but she found nothing suspicious with her spiritual will and shook her head. ”Forget it. It is indeed something good. Go back and study! I'll have some might speaking to the principal now that you've produced such results!”
”Thank you, Teacher!”
Fang Yuan knew that a top student with the possibility of entering a cultivation university received very different treatment from normal students.
The principal of Flying Rainbow High would pay great attention to him and protect him, at least before the college entrance exam.
The standing of the principal of such a top school was certainly no laughing matter. Jarvis would definitely not dare to mess with him.
This was also why he chose to show part of his strength.
How else would he attract others to invest in him?
It was not shameful to seek external help when you were weak. It did not mean that those who would not accept help would never excel, but the price and hard work that had to be put in was not something that normal people could handle.
”Wait… Have you decided on a target? Meditation University is the one with the lowest cut-off. Fill that in as your last choice for insurance. Your first choice must be the top universities. I recommend Fengwu Nine Heavens Academy for you! There are many beautiful women there, comparable to Ling Fei'er!”
Xiao Hongyue's eyes had a mischievous glint to them.
”Sorry… Teacher, my first choice is East Dragon University!” Fang Yuan replied determinately after some thought.
East Dragon University was the top university in the entire Human Alliance, and it gathered countless geniuses. The professors and mentors there were true masters. Neither aging nor dying, they were known as the 'Undead Immortals'! They were human-shaped nuclear bombs, the top combat power of the Alliance!
”East Dragon University?” Xiao Hongyue's eyes widened. ”You really dare to dream… Do you know that the cut-off for East Dragon University has never fallen below 290?”
”I'm confident I can score that much!”
A single exam would determine it. There was nothing to doubt since normal and abnormal performances were all probabilistic events.
A shade of uncertainty appeared on Fang Yuan's face. ”East Dragon University doesn't seem to accept students with 30% brain development though…”
”Almost none. The worst they accepted over the past three years had 35%!”
Xiao Hongyue eyed Fang Yuan doubtfully. ”Lin Meng… you seemed to have changed after this incident! You've become more diligent and ambitious! It would have been enough for the old Lin Meng to be able to get into the cultivation university with the lowest cut-off point.”
”There will always be inspirations after life-and-death situations,” Fang Yuan replied nonchalantly.
”Okay…” Xiao Hongyue seemed to have thought of something interesting. ”Brain development can only be enhanced through meditation and brain development drugs before you cultivate. Would you like Teacher to tutor you one-on-one? You probably haven't used these things before. The effect the first time should be pretty good. You might even be able to increase it by 5%!”
”Tutoring? But I don't have any more star dollars…”
The tuition fee for a teacher from a top school had to be astronomical. Xiao Hongyue seemed to be suggesting that she would help him with meditation and provide him with drugs. These were not things an ordinary student could afford.
”Rest assured. I'll count it as a loan to you, as long as you return it to me with interest in the future! There's no need for any burden nor pressure. A cultivator is worth investing in!” Xiao Hongyue dropped a mysterious smile.
This woman… does possess a game-like character!
Fang Yuan seemed to be struggling inwardly, but he already had an answer in his heart. He gazed at Xiao Hongyue's expectant yet suspicious eyes and felt as though he were lightning struck. Yes… funding students on a whim is just one side aspect. She has another purpose—observing me up close. She might even use various instruments to determine the truth behind my recovery! I really mustn't underestimate any cultivator!
”Then… Thank you, Teacher!”
Fang Yuan bowed gratefully and agreed to it even though he knew Xiao Hongyue had an ulterior motive.
It would be irrational not to agree after all.
Not to mention, he did not believe that an insignificant cultivator could discover the secret of his True Spirit.
On the contrary, Xiao Hongyue's help would be a more viable explanation as a cover story when he obtained superb results in the college entrance exam. Why would he not go along with it?
…
In the top class.
”Sister Fei'er, you attained 277 points in the mock exam. You are top in class again!”
A few young girls surrounded Ling Fei'er like a group of skylarks. ”So amazing! The school has already decided to send you to Fengwu Nine Heavens Academy, right?”
”I heard you went to a normal class in the morning to look for Lin Meng?”
”A toad that wants to eat swan meat. There's no need to be bothered about him. Sister Fei'er only went to find him because she has a kind heart…”
