The privileged shopping mall for admissions to St. Riat University increased by 5.11.
Finally, he silently left the thread without saying a word, only secretly gloating over his collection and employing a form of mental victory:
Lin Xue, even you have times when you're not recognized or discovered.
What good is being highly capable? What good is being good-looking?
In this era where public opinion dictates everyone's thoughts, if no one promotes you, no online trolls create hype, and no one takes photos that showcase your beauty, no matter how outstanding you are, others will not be able to discover your goodness.
Ultimately, in this world, you're just an ordinary person. How can you have such strong luck that people will immediately notice you and fawn over you?
No matter how strong you are, you still have to endure the same unfairness as ordinary people like us.
Even if you have extraordinary abilities, you can only be like me, a rat in the gutter, watching others shine on the stage.
Although he didn't gain anything from it, the fact that even a prodigy could be overlooked made Shengxi feel incredibly happy and smug.
Just as he decided to leave the thread, his hand unconsciously clicked on the reply page again and started refreshing the page.
His good mood didn't last long. When he saw 521L, the "sweetheart baby" that appeared out of nowhere, his sunny smile suddenly froze.
How can someone so ordinary be praised?
Wouldn't all the efforts I've made to become handsome and powerful be wasted?
He suddenly felt a sense of indignation, as if all his beliefs had been overturned and betrayed.
He even had the urge to post the photos he secretly took of Lin Xue on the train, so that everyone could have a good meal and know what it really means to be good-looking.
But his desire to keep his own desires made him stop.
Secondly, he wanted to ruin Lin Xueliao. How could he go and make Lin Xueliao successful just because that sweetheart baby with no ability made him angrier?
Isn't letting Lin Xue sink exactly what I wanted to do?
It's always possible to take down those powerless scumbags.
However, it would be more satisfying to suppress someone as capable as Lin Xue.
Let's let that sweet baby bounce around for a while.
Once Lin Xue is suppressed by Sweetheart Baby, he will teach this incredibly ordinary person a lesson for daring to promote himself everywhere.
This is truly using someone else to do the dirty work. Although this tool is somewhat annoying, it's worth enduring it for the sake of dealing with Lin Xue.

After the entrance photos and school uniforms were completed, each student's information was registered.
Even before the admission photos were made public on the forum, the students' information had already been sent to the four major families.
Housegate Palace.
"Your Highness, these are the information for this year's freshmen." The old butler, James, gracefully bowed and handed a huge book, resembling a wedding photo album, to a blond, green-eyed boy.
The boy was dressed in magnificent court attire, his hair as smooth as a lion's mane, exuding a kingly majesty.
He quickly flipped through a few pages and lost interest.
Are there any freshmen who require special attention?
“These are some of the more popular students on the forum right now…” James pointed the boy in the right direction, like a navigational beacon.
The blond, green-eyed boy turned to that page and his eyes immediately met Lin Xue's face.
The boy paused for a second, then casually resumed his usual expression: "This year's freshmen are nothing special."
"If there's no one special in the future, you don't need to show me the information booklet."
"Your Highness, this is against the rules."
"My rules are the rules."
"But Your Highness, you paused for a moment when you saw someone just now."
...
The boy transformed into an angry lion: "Don't make assumptions about me."
"I mean it when I say I don't like it."
James finally understood the meaning of the Eastern saying, "Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger": "I didn't say you liked him..."
"Alright, alright, get out of here." The blond boy waved his hand impatiently.
After everyone had left, he turned to the page he had just read and stared at it for a long time:
"Mother……"

After the entrance photos were taken, the forum discussions went wild.
Lin Xue was unaware that so many people were paying attention to him, discussing him, being curious about him, or secretly judging him as good or bad out of jealousy.
For him, what was more important was that after the enrollment photo session, there was still a considerable amount of time before the summer camp. Lin Xue thought that once he attended the summer camp, he would be faced with heavy academic work and might not have much time to play.
He took out his phone and searched for Fresh: "What are some fun attractions in Byrne?"
A note popped up.
If you're a student coming to Bain for high school, I highly recommend you visit Sugarmart Mall.
The Sugarmall is a comprehensive shopping mall that integrates clothing, entertainment, and dining, and it is also the world's largest shopping mall.
Here, you can experience the most popular drinks, taste the most delicious dishes, and enjoy heavenly entertainment.
Even the young masters of the four great families enjoy themselves here. But please be careful not to take pictures of them, or their bodyguards might break your hand.
After booking a visit to the Sugarmat shopping mall under the guise of being a student recruiter for St. Riat, the mall even sent a private car to pick me up on the day of the booking.
This emperor-like treatment made Lin Xue understand why so many people were vying to go to St. Mary's.
And why do those students who drop out of school act as pitifully as concubines banished to the cold palace?
After getting off the car, a welcoming lady at the mall entrance smiled warmly at Lin Xue: "Respected student of St. Ria, would you like me to be your tour guide?"
"Would you rather just wander around on your own?"
"I'll browse by myself."
"Okay, if you have any questions, you can contact me anytime via Feige (Sending Pigeon)."
Stepping into this shopping mall is like entering a giant garden greenhouse.
The towering dome is made of glass, letting in brilliant sunlight.
Hanging plants, along with other flowers and grasses, are suspended high up, emitting a light fragrance.
Inside, the interior is resplendent with gold, and the glass display cases showcase a variety of priceless items. It is said that the St. Les ...
Lin Xue looked around and saw students wearing the same St. Ria school uniform as herself dotting the crowd, attracting envious glances from countless people.
Lin Xue didn't want to run into a scene from a novel where "a big shot deliberately doesn't wear clothes that reflect his status, gets looked down upon by the saleswoman, and then buys out everything in the saleswoman's shop," causing unnecessary trouble and unpleasantness. So he put on his school uniform.
The students at St. Leicester City strolled around the mall as if they were at home, without any concern that any service or food they liked might be too expensive for them.
The first floor has milk tea, coffee, freshly made drinks, various snacks, and ice cream.
Most of the students at St. Leeds were sitting in the ice cream shop waiting.
The store sign reads "Royal Certification," and a sign next to it tells the story of a prince who once ate ice cream here.
The prince in the advertisement has a sour face, but he's giving a thumbs-up as a gesture of praise, perfectly illustrating what it means to have a cold face at work.
Thanks to the prince's endorsement, the store's value has skyrocketed, reaching prices that many would call "a tax on intelligence!"
If St. Leah hadn't covered the expenses, the specially admitted students would never have bought it.
A little boy stared intently at the students in St. Leslie's school uniforms. Before his mother could even notice, he dashed over to a female student eating ice cream, tugged at her clothes, and begged her to buy him an ice cream.
Even five- or six-year-old children know that students wearing Saint-Lia uniforms don't have to pay for anything here.
The girl whose clothes were being tugged was clearly embarrassed.
Although everything at St. Mary's is free, the school can still see each student's bill.
St. Leeds did not disclose its admission criteria for specially recruited students. A single misstep could violate the rules, break taboos, and affect the disbursement of living expenses and the various free services that specially recruited students were originally entitled to.
The little boy's mother walked over to her child and said to the girl from St. Leicester, "My child has never eaten such high-class ice cream before. Aren't all the things you St. Leicester students get free here? Buy him one."
The girl was clearly in a difficult position.
She was worried about her bill, but the five- or six-year-old boy held onto her clothes tightly, preventing her from escaping.
Now the other party's mother is pressing them again.
She had nowhere to escape.
She stammered, thinking hard over and over, trying to figure out how to get out of this situation, but finally decided to tell the truth:
“Our school also has performance evaluations for account statements. If you use school money to buy things for others, and you are being generous with school funds, your living allowance may be suspended.”
"How could that be!" The boy's mother exclaimed in disbelief. "Saint-Lydia is so rich and powerful. It's just an ice cream, how much does it cost? Why would they cut off your allowance?"
"I think you're just being stingy and trying to save this money so you can spend more on yourself!"
"This child is so young, he wants to eat ice cream, and you won't even buy it for him? Do you have any humanity?"
"Is this the quality of students admitted to St. Riat University? Poor, stingy, and incredibly selfish. They won't amount to anything after graduation!"
The girl was so angry that her face turned red and her whole body trembled, but she couldn't utter a single word.
"This era is really great, even beggars can enter shopping malls now?" A boy also wearing the St. Lily school uniform walked over.
The tall man's imposing presence intimidated people, making them afraid to speak.
The mother's arrogance in front of the girl vanished instantly, her face turning bright red: "Who, who is the beggar?"
"Everyone has a little bit of money."
"Just because you're rich doesn't mean you can do anything!"
"If you're not a beggar, why would you ask a stranger for something?"
