Chapter 105 Subtle Things



"Sister Zhixing, come quickly!" Li Wenxiu's voice was full of joy. "You're the champion!"

Alright, I don't need to check on this informant myself.

She walked over, and everyone made way for her.

The list is very simple: the name is followed by the score in traditional Chinese characters for each exam question, and the total score is listed at the end.

The instructions below also state that each test paper is worth a total of one hundred points.

She was first, followed by Li Jun second, Lin Rushu third, Xiong Chumo fourth, Zhao Xianyin fifth, Nian Chenghan sixth, Mu Zixi seventh, Feng Zhen'er eighth, Liu Zizai ninth, Mu Wan tenth, Zhang Zhong eleventh, Huo Baijun twelfth, Zhao Lin thirteenth, Zhao Xi fourteenth, Li Wenxiu fifteenth, Qi Wuyi sixteenth, and Li Zheng seventeenth...

Li Jun and Lin Rushu's total scores differed by only one point, and the differences between the rest of the scores were also very small. Among them, Lin Rushu ranked first in the policy essay subject, Feng Zhen'er ranked first in general knowledge, and Li Jun ranked first in the essay subject.

Xiao Zhixing seemed to see every brightest star in the world for the next few decades.

And then, in a conceited way, they thought they had to be the brightest star.

Everyone found this percentage ranking quite novel.

They weren't surprised at all that she ranked first.

They even humbly congratulated each other, saying they would definitely beat each other next time.

Yang Du appeared and said, "There will be a small test in seven days, and a major monthly test in a month. I hope all students will not slack off and will strive to be the best."

After saying that, he went back into hiding.

Xiao Zhixing and the others entered the library, secretly listening to the Emperor System's continued raging outburst.

"How could this be?! She's just a brute! How could she be number one?!"

Then the system went through a series of buzzing sounds and started its self-check and review.

"Impossible! How could she be number one?!" The Emperor System was even angrier after checking, because the result was normal. All the papers were judged by the system's backend, and there were no bugs.

It's been agitated ever since the results came out, and it's still cursing and swearing.

Zhao Yunqi said calmly, "Getting angry is useless. You can't violate the principle of fairness by deliberately lowering her score. How about making the test more difficult next time? Or creating a separate test for her?"

The Emperor System was buzzing and considering its options.

Zhao Yunqi then warned, "However, she is very shrewd. If she finds out that her proposition is different, she will definitely make a scene, and we can't predict the consequences."

The Emperor System was probably furious; it kept spinning wildly with a crackling sound.

Zhao Yunqi sighed deeply, "You should think carefully, if she continues to be number one..."

"No! Absolutely not!" The Emperor System jumped up. "There are still challenges ahead. I refuse to believe she can stay number one forever!"

Zhao Yunqi nodded, "So there's no need to rush, the most difficult part is yet to come."

He then asked, "Have you picked out anyone you like?"

After the Emperor System stabilized, it said, "Li Jun, Xiong Chumo."

“The former comes from a prominent family with a vast network of relatives and friends, but lacks military support, while you and I can make up for that.”

"The latter came from a humble background and his family was poor, but he had strengths in military affairs."

As for the fact that he was promoted by Xiao Zhixing, they didn't care.

In this world, if the benefits are great enough, there is no one who will not betray you!

Moreover, in the early stages, Xiong Chumo was able to leverage his relationship with Xiao Zhixing to borrow the strength of Xiao's army and former Yin family members.

Zhao Yunqi nodded, "I share similar thoughts with you, so let's pay more attention to these two."

Xiao Zhixing paused slightly as he turned the pages of his book, his gaze sweeping over Li Jun in the distance and Xiong Chumo not far away.

It's not surprising that Li Jun would be chosen by her; wasn't he the ultimate winner in Green Plane Two?

Xiong Chumo, on the other hand, never expected to have such good fortune.

She didn't want to test or doubt anything; she only trusted her own judgment.

The Emperor System is right; as long as the benefits are great enough, no one will remain loyal.

But the seemingly foolish yet wise Xiong Chumo in front of us is just an ordinary boy with inner beauty, intelligence, and immense strength. He is filial to his mother and loves his younger siblings.

They fought side by side on the battlefield, their camaraderie was precious.

Therefore, Xiao Zhixing was willing to trust him.

As for the future—we'll have to wait and see.

The emperor announced the results of the Gentlemen's Academy's assessment at the grand court the following day.

They even brought everyone's answer sheets over for them to review.

This left the officials completely baffled.

Does the result of a minor college exam need to be announced at a major assembly?

Zhao Yunqi laughed and said, "These are their answers. My dear ministers, please take a look and judge them."

Li Xiaomei twitched slightly, and instead of taking Li Wenxiu's answer sheet, he took Xiao Zhixing's answer sheet and slowly flipped through it.

When the children went home, I told them about the test questions, but they still didn't understand the deeper meaning.

Now I'll see it for myself and judge it according to my own eyes.

The only sound in the main hall was the rustling of papers.

Everyone was pondering what the emperor meant by this.

Xiao Zhixing scored first in the total score. Did the emperor want them to remove her from the top spot?

The officials couldn't help but glance at Xiao Zhixing, who stood in front with a calm and composed expression.

Hmm, this is something we need to think about carefully.

However, as they watched, they realized that Xiao Zhixing, the leader, was not someone they could easily take down.

If it weren't for the knowledge that the emperor wouldn't help with cheating, this answer sheet would definitely have been written by Xiao Zhixing himself.

They would also assume it was written by a wise and prudent minister.

His writing is grand and insightful, demonstrating a broad perspective, unique observations, and a clear purpose; he is truly a master.

And one can see something deeper and more magnificent—

Li Xiao snapped out of his daze, suppressed the sudden whims that had popped into his mind, and calmly finished reading the other people's answer sheets as well.

These children each have their own strengths and are much more outstanding than the average person.
