The students around them also heard Yang Yi and the others talking to Luo Xiaonan.
A buzz of discussion erupted, with some pointing at Jiang Chu and muttering, "What is this kid? Is he Luo Xiaonan's boyfriend? Does he deserve him?"
One girl retorted, "Pshaw, he's way more handsome than you! Of course he's a good match! Besides, can love be measured by military rank and position? You guys are just being nosy!"
"Tch, what do you know? You can't marry someone from a similar social class. Even if you get together with Luo Xiaonan, it won't last!" another boy scoffed.
The girl fell silent, unable to refute the argument.
Nowadays, being well-matched in social status is not about how much money your family has or how much money I have.
Instead, your rank is second lieutenant and your position is junior sergeant major, while I am senior sergeant major and my rank is colonel.
The difference between military rank and position is too great. The people you come into contact with and the battlefields you encounter will be completely different. You will have very little in common when you live together.
Therefore, when some military personnel choose their partners, they are usually from outside the military.
For example, Luo Feng and Jia Xiaoli.
Luo Feng is a senior colonel and a special-grade sergeant, while Jia Xiaoli is just a housewife who takes a few days each month to attend military training.
This kind of almost polarized love is actually a form of marriage between equals.
The people present were not necessarily malicious; in fact, most of them were willing to sincerely wish Jiang Chu and Luo Xiaonan well. However, the gap between the two was simply too great.
Moreover, judging from this trend, the gap between the two will only widen in the future!
Luo Xiaonan originally didn't want to pay attention to these two, but in order to cooperate with Jiang Chu, she had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
The recruitment office was very efficient; in less than twenty minutes, Jiang Chu arrived in front of several instructors.
These instructors were all majors, and their military ranks were not low either, all being senior sergeants or above. When they saw Jiang Chu, they all gave him a very polite salute.
Jiang Chu also saluted and politely said, "Good morning, Instructor!"
"Hello, student, come on, put your hands here!" A pretty, short-haired female instructor said, pointing to the fingerprint verification device.
Nowadays, you generally don't need to bring your ID card to do things anymore, because everyone uses fingerprint verification. Many people don't even need to bring their mobile phones when they go out to buy things, as they also use fingerprint verification. It's convenient, fast, and has an extremely low error rate.
After verifying her identity, the female instructor said, "Jiang Chu, please go to the front to have your overall combat strength tested."
"Instructor, thank you so much, your service is truly excellent!" Jiang Chu had a sweet tongue and a smile on his face.
The female instructor was also a woman, so of course she liked it when a handsome guy complimented her, and she smiled in response.
"By the way, beautiful instructor, what's the approximate admission score for Longda University this year?" Jiang Chu asked with a smile.
There's nothing to hide about this issue.
The female instructor nodded slightly and said, "This year's score will definitely be higher than last year's, probably by about 10 points. Correspondingly, other military academies will also need to score about 10 points higher."
It's reasonable that the admission scores are higher this year. First, there are 15% more college entrance exam takers this year than last year. Second, this year's students are generally exploiting bugs, which is why the scores are so much higher.
"Wow, the cutoff score is so much higher?!" Yang Yi was stunned. "With a total score of 450, is it even possible to get into Longming Academy or Tianzhou Military University?"
Longming Academy is one of the better schools among the near-first-tier schools. This year, with Lieutenant General Yang Lie, the commander of the Blazing Flame Legion, serving as the chief instructor, and with the strengthening of the teaching staff, it has suddenly become a first-tier military academy.
This is also a place Yang Yi longs for.
"It's hard to say," the female instructor said with a troubled expression. "Last year, Longming Academy was almost a top-tier university, but this year it's definitely a top-tier university. The admission score is probably not much lower than that of Longdu Military University! Tianzhou Military University is also much higher because its teaching staff has also been strengthened."
"..." Yang Yi's face turned extremely ugly.
Li Lin also gasped: "I'm a little better off. My total score is 468, so I should be able to get into Longming Academy."
Yang Yi was unhappy and vented his anger on Jiang Chu. However, in order not to offend Jiang Chu's good friend Luo Xiaonan, he still spoke with a smile that concealed a knife.
"So, Jiang Chu, is there any hope of getting into Longming Academy? If so, how many more years can you stay with our Goddess Luo?"
Of course, he's a top student, and he might officially join the army in his junior year!
People like you and me will probably have to wait until graduation. And who knows, even after graduation, it'll be difficult to get into the military; we'll just have to make a living in civilian life!
Students at the military academy consider it an honor to join the army, and Yang Yi and Li Lin are no exception. Their families also have high hopes for them and have created the best conditions for them.
Yang Yi and Li Lin knew about Jiang Chu's family's circumstances when they were in junior high school. At that time, his family didn't have much money. His parents started from scratch and ran a very small company. They lived a comfortable life, but it was definitely not comparable to Yang Yi and Li Lin's family.
Therefore, it will be difficult for Jiang Chu to rely on his family for resources.
Jiang Chu simply smiled faintly and said, "Me? Hard to say! I'm not talking anymore, there are other students waiting in line!"
After Jiang Chu finished speaking, he discreetly slipped into the military's force measuring instrument.
The beautiful instructor was still very happy after being praised by Jiang Chu, so she waited for Jiang Chu's data with extra care.
In less than half a minute, a paper data chart appeared at the printing outlet of the force measuring instrument.
The beautiful instructor picked it up and took a look, and she was completely shocked.
"W-that's too high! How come Jiang Chu's overall combat strength is so high?"
"Xiao Lin, let me see!" The person in charge of the recruitment office, a tall lieutenant colonel, walked over.
"Brother Wang, look!" The beautiful instructor quickly handed the data chart to him.
"Physical strength 109, intelligence 122, vision 173, overall combat strength 404? This kid is amazing!" The lieutenant colonel, despite having seen a lot, was still shocked. "Last year's top scorer in the college entrance examination, Luo Xiaonan, only had 376, right? Moreover, being able to increase one's overall combat strength by 10 points in three days by exploiting a bug is already considered genius!"
Yang Yi and Li Lin were also shocked by what they heard.
"Holy crap! Is this some kind of ghost? 404? Is this data from a normal human being?" Yang Yi almost bit his tongue.
"Impossible, is there something wrong with the machine?" Li Lin gasped.
"The machine won't malfunction!" The lieutenant colonel glared at Li Lin and said bluntly.
At this moment, Luo Xiaobei deliberately snorted and said, "Oh dear, 404, plus 112 in academic subjects and military theory, the total score is 516. It's still 8 points lower than my sister. I can barely play with her. It's still much better than those guys who think they did well on the test and show off everywhere, right?"
