Chapter 284: Zero Points on the College Entrance Exam?
“Not bad.”
The red light flashed in Fang Yu’s eyes, and the runes rotating in his pupils suddenly changed direction.
The cup and spoon that had disappeared in the air reassembled particle by particle, falling back onto the table.
Then, Fang Yu closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, his eyes had returned to their normal appearance.
“Better not use these eyes too often when unnecessary, they make everything boring,” Fang Yu shook his head and muttered to himself.
…
The next day, June 25th.
This was the most nerve-wracking day for every high school graduate in the Nine States.
Today, the college entrance exam results would be announced.
The outcome of three years of hard study would be revealed today.
In Jianghai City, at the Tang residence.
Tang Xiaorou got up early and sat in front of her computer, ready to log into the website to check her college entrance exam results.
Usually, the exam results would be released at 10 AM.
Tang Xiaorou’s hands were trembling with nervousness.
Tang Feng, who happened to be home on vacation, sat beside her and said: “Xiaorou, no need to be so nervous. Based on my experience from back then, the actual results are usually much higher than what you expect.”
Tang Xiaorou bit her lip and said: “I don’t want to be nervous, but I just can’t help it. I’m afraid I won’t reach Nandu University’s minimum score requirement, that would be terrible.”
“Nandu University’s score requirement this year should be around 660, if you performed normally, it shouldn’t be a big problem,” Tang Feng said.
“The math exam was so hard, I just guessed on the last two big questions…” Tang Xiaorou said.
“It’s been so long since the exam, what’s done is done, just wait for the results,” Tang Feng consoled her.
Time passed minute by minute, getting closer to 10 o’clock.
Countless students, just like Tang Xiaorou, were sitting in front of their computers, waiting to check their exam results.
Soon, the moment arrived.
Tang Xiaorou immediately entered her exam registration number and ID number to check her results.
When the webpage popped up, Tang Xiaorou closed her eyes, too scared to look.
“Haha, I told you there was nothing to worry about,” Tang Feng patted her shoulder and laughed.
Only then did Tang Xiaorou dare to open her eyes and look at her score.
682 points.
This score wasn’t far from Tang Xiaorou’s expectations.
Tang Xiaorou’s tense heart instantly relaxed.
With this score, getting into Nandu University wouldn’t be a problem.
After letting out a long breath, Tang Xiaorou immediately thought of someone.
I wonder how he did?
Tang Xiaorou thought for a moment, then picked up her phone and called Fang Yu.
…
Fang Yu had just gotten up and was about to go downstairs to buy breakfast.
When his phone rang, he answered immediately.
“Fang Yu, how did you do? Are you satisfied with your results?” Tang Xiaorou asked urgently over the phone.
“What are you talking about…” Fang Yu asked puzzled.
“The college entrance exam results! They’re out today, don’t you know!?” Tang Xiaorou said in surprise.
“Oh, I forgot,” Fang Yu replied calmly.
He had been through many college entrance exams, and didn’t care at all.
The only difference was that during this exam he had been sleepy, just wanting to finish quickly and rest, or continue researching the spirit-suppressing formation.
This led to him not controlling his speed while answering questions, seemingly completing all the questions he could.
This was an unconscious behavior that Fang Yu only realized after finishing the exam.
But it didn’t matter anyway.
“Then why aren’t you checking your results right now?” Tang Xiaorou asked.
“There’s nothing to check, won’t the school notify us anyway?” Fang Yu asked.
“But these are the college entrance exam results… how can you not be nervous at all? I’ll help you check! Tell me your exam registration number.” Tang Xiaorou said.
“Fine, I’ll text it to you later,” Fang Yu said.
…
Tang Xiaorou soon received Fang Yu’s text message.
She immediately entered Fang Yu’s registration number on the webpage and clicked search.
“No results found.”
Tang Xiaorou was stunned, and entered the registration number again to search once more.
“No results found.”
“How can this be? The registration number should be correct, otherwise it would show ‘registration number error’,” Tang Xiaorou said puzzled.
“Maybe too many people are checking at once and the system is busy, just try again later,” Tang Feng beside her said.
Ten minutes later, Tang Xiaorou searched again, with the same result.
Half an hour later, Tang Xiaorou searched again, still without success.
After multiple attempts, Tang Xiaorou confirmed this wasn’t a system overload issue.
She asked many classmates, and they had all managed to check their results.
Only Fang Yu’s results couldn’t be found, which was very strange.
In the afternoon, Tang Xiaorou received a call from their counselor Sun Xingchun.
“The exam results this year are very impressive. Tomorrow the school will hold an awards ceremony, and as one of the outstanding students, you must come back. There will be certificates awarded,” Sun Xingchun said joyfully.
Tang Xiaorou agreed, then asked: “Counselor Sun, I wanted to ask, can you check Fang Yu’s results?”
“Indeed, they’re not available. He’s the only one in the class whose results can’t be queried, it’s quite strange,” Sun Xingchun said.
“What’s going on?” Tang Xiaorou asked.
“I’m not sure, but Fang Yu himself doesn’t seem to care about this, right? If it were other students who couldn’t check their results, they would have asked me already. But Fang Yu? He needs other students to ask for him? I think he just doesn’t want to go to university! So there’s no need to worry about him. That’s all, I still need to notify other students.” Sun Xingchun hung up after finishing.
Tang Xiaorou’s expression became serious.
If Fang Yu’s exam results remained unavailable, wouldn’t he be unable to apply for university?
“Actually, there is one possibility… that is, Fang Yu scored zero points on the exam, in which case the results wouldn’t show up… That’s what my counselor told me, apparently it happened to some student a few years ago…” Tang Feng said hesitantly.
Zero points on the college entrance exam!?
Tang Xiaorou thought of Fang Yu’s lazy appearance.
Could he have written his name wrong, or filled in the wrong registration number, resulting in zero points?
“That can’t be…” Tang Xiaorou was dumbfounded.
…
That day, Fang Yu received many phone calls from Tang Xiaorou, Liu Pangzi, Wang Yan and others.
The content of the calls was all about inquiring about his exam results.
Unable to check the results?
Hearing this situation, Fang Yu was also stunned for a moment, but he didn’t care much.
If he couldn’t apply for university, then he just wouldn’t go to university.
After some time, he would move to another place and start again from first year of high school.
This behavior might seem shameful, but Fang Yu had no choice, who told him to be immortal, forever maintaining this youthful appearance?
…
Early the next morning, many graduating students returned to Jianghai High School.
At the school entrance, there was a large notice board.
The notice board displayed the names of students who ranked in the top 10,000 in the Jiangnan region in this college entrance exam.
Many students crowded in front of the notice board, looking up at the names.
Most students were looking at the name at the very top, the person who ranked first in the school for this exam!
He Zhanpeng from the advanced class!
721 points, first in school, ranked third in the entire Jiangnan region!
Third place!
“As expected of He Zhanpeng… he’s truly a learning god!”
“Ranked third in all of Jiangnan… that’s too amazing, right?”
“Ranking third in all of Jiangnan means he must be the top scorer in Jianghai City!”
The students gathered in front of the notice board discussed enthusiastically.
“I said all along that He Zhanpeng would be first, you guys were the ones who had faith in that Fang Yu. That guy just did well in one mock exam, the real college entrance exam is where true ability shows. Look, where’s Fang Yu’s name now?”
At this moment, a male student spoke loudly.
He was the one who had said he would livestream eating excrement if Fang Yu could solve that Olympic math problem on the blackboard.
That day when Fang Yu solved the problem, the whole class was shocked.
And he, along with another student who had to do a handstand while defecating, had their faces slapped, leaving them utterly humiliated.
Since then, he had harbored resentment.
Now seeing that Fang Yu’s name wasn’t on the notice board, he couldn’t be happier.
Arrogant?
So what if he could solve that Olympic math problem? Didn’t he still fail the exam?
He Zhanpeng was the real academic genius!
“I said it before, Fang Yu must have cheated in that mock exam, he had no real ability!”
“Yeah, now that the exam results are out, he’s been exposed. He must have cheated to get such good results back then!”
“How did someone like him even get transferred to our advanced class, I really don’t know what the school leaders were thinking…”
Many students around joined in, most of them from the advanced class who had long disliked Fang Yu.
Now that the exam results were out and everything was settled, they naturally weren’t afraid of being slapped in the face again.
“What are you all saying? Fang Yu’s results just can’t be queried, how do you know he didn’t do well!?” At this moment, Tang Xiaorou walked up behind this group of students and said.
