Chapter 184 Regretful, Devastated [2 Updates]
After he went inside, the door closed again.
But less than three minutes later, the door opened again.
The boy came out with a pale face and was drenched in sweat, as if he had experienced something extremely terrifying.
This was not what He Xun expected.
While getting into Norton University is difficult, it's not worth being so intimidated by the first interview.
He Xun frowned, but still didn't reprimand them. Instead, he looked at the two international students next to him and said, "It's your turn."
The two nodded and entered in turn, queuing up.
They spent a long time inside, but they weren't very happy when they came out.
"Teacher He, I'm sorry." One of the students said with shame, "I don't think I passed. The school tested me on Latin, but I haven't studied it."
The fact that all three students were like this made He Xun's heart sink to the bottom.
His assessment criteria included successfully getting two students into Norton University, and both into A-level colleges.
But now there are none.
This proves that he simply cannot pass the assessment.
The sun was blazing, but He Xun's heart grew colder and colder.
He suddenly felt extremely regretful.
He was so confident in passing the assessment because, even before he knew that Wen Tinglan was Ying Zijin's younger brother, he believed that Wen Tinglan would definitely be able to enter Norton University.
After the interview qualifications were distributed, he specifically went with Qingzhi to have Wen Tinglan and the others tested their IQs.
Both students in the international class were ordinary, except for Wen Tinglan, whose IQ was as high as 228!
Although it's not the highest recorded in history, it's still an extremely terrifying number.
If it weren't for that public Q&A incident, He Xun certainly wouldn't have disqualified Wen Tinglan from the interview.
He had always been the pride of his peers, and he simply couldn't bear the humiliation Ying Zijin had brought him, so he took back his interview qualification.
Although the interview results wouldn't be out for a few days, He Xun knew it was completely hopeless.
His expression was grim, his lips were tightly pressed together, and he shook his head: "It's alright, let's wait for the results."

at the same time.
Somewhere in the world.
Inside the room.
A young man sat in front of a computer. The screen background was pitch black, with strings of numbers and letters forming a lot of code.
His fingers were typing rapidly on the keyboard, so fast that it was impossible to tell which key he was pressing.
The letters, numbers, and symbols on the screen are constantly changing, making it dazzling.
"How's it going?" the middle-aged man next to him asked impatiently, "Did you find anything?"
The young hacker shook his head, also surprised: "No, I can't get through their firewall."
The middle-aged man was shocked: "Even you can't do it?"
They knew that Norton University's technology was far ahead of the rest of the world, which is why he hired hackers from there.
The young hacker's skills are definitely no weaker than those of the leader of the Anonymous hacker group, yet he couldn't even break through Norton University's firewall?
The attempt to hack into the vice-principal's phone failed the day before, leaving them still unaware whether the fortune teller had gone to Norton University.
If they can't breach Norton University's firewall, it proves they have no way of knowing the fortune teller's identity!
The middle-aged man slammed his fist on the table, muttering angrily, "Damn it."
Things are different now than before.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, there was no internet or high technology, so finding a person was extremely difficult.
That's why the diviner never left any information or trace.
They even speculated that the fortune teller disappeared for two hundred years probably because he foresaw the future advancement of technology and was afraid of exposing his identity.
This time, the fortune teller finally showed himself, which is an extremely rare opportunity.
But the opportunity was right in front of them, yet they could only watch it slip away.
“Something’s not right.” The young hacker shook his head. “No matter how advanced Norton University’s computer technology is, it can’t possibly stop me. Someone has strengthened their firewall.”
"Who?" The middle-aged man was startled. "Also from your area?"
“Possibly.” The young hacker stood up apologetically. “I’m sorry I couldn’t complete the mission. I will return the reward to your family later.”

The interview results came out faster than He Xun had expected.
On the third day, it was already posted on the campus intranet.
The three students he brought not only failed, but also ranked very low.
The boy who replaced Wen Tinglan was ranked last.
The three students failed their interviews and had to leave Norton University.
Furthermore, Norton University will also bring in hypnotists to erase their memories of this period at Norton University.
He Xun saw the three students out, hesitated for a moment, and then went to find his advisor.
The tutor also received the results and said with great regret: "He, it seems that the three students you selected do not meet our admission standards."
“Professor, I know another student. He’s exceptionally talented, with an IQ of 228,” He Xun said in a low voice. “Could you please grant me another interview opportunity so I can bring this student along?”
Hearing this, the mentor was quite puzzled: "Then why didn't you choose him in the first place? Interview opportunities are so valuable, and you can't even pick the right person?"
As if something had been exposed, He Xun looked quite flustered: "Because...because..."
“Sigh, He, you were once a student I had my eye on, but your personality is really not suited to be a teacher.” The tutor sighed. “Well then, I’ll give you another chance. Call this student over.”
The tutor gave him his own phone so he could make a call.
He did not stay at school, so his cell phone could not contact the outside world.
He Xun naturally wouldn't bother to remember Wen Tinglan's phone number. He called Qingzhi and then had the principal pass it on to Wen Tinglan.
“Wen Tinglan, you have a chance.” He said coldly, “Now fly to Norton Town immediately, and I will take you to the school for an interview.”
The tone remained condescending.
However, to He Xun's surprise, Wen Tinglan refused without even thinking.
"I'm not going."
He Xun frowned, his voice turning cold: "This opportunity is very difficult to obtain; I went through a lot of trouble to get it from the school. Are you really going to give it up?"
"You need to think this through. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never be able to get into Norton University again. Do you really think your sister can get you an interview, or do you believe that invitation from that day was genuine?"
"roll."
The boy's cold voice came through the receiver; after uttering a single word, the call was abruptly ended.
Hearing the "beep beep beep" sound and enduring the puzzled gaze of her mentor, He Xun stood frozen in place, feeling more embarrassed than ever before.
"He, you should prepare for another assessment." The instructor shook his head and walked away with his hands behind his back.

June 18th is the assessment day for D-level academy students.
The assessments for grades A through C were completed a few days ago.
Students in A-level and B-level academies have the second-highest potential after those in S-level academies. They are only classified at this level because of the department, so basically no one fails the assessment.
Two-thirds of them were eliminated in the C category.
Today's D-level, the professors will be lucky to keep ten of them.
The entire D-level academy has a total of five hundred students.
He Xun drew the 53rd number, which is considered relatively early.
Watching his classmates come and go, his heart remained in his throat.
When it was finally his turn, He Xun was more nervous than ever before.
There was only one long table in the examination room, and four professors sat opposite it.
As soon as He Xun sat down, the back door opened, and a staff member brought in another sofa chair, placing it between the four professors.
"He, the school board member heard your name and specifically asked to come over." The professor's expression was still very kind. "Please wait two minutes, the school board member will be here soon."
He Xun was startled.
Was the school board member there specifically for him?
What did he do that would alarm the school board?
"Don't worry, He," another professor said. "It's probably because the board of directors thinks you have good qualifications, so they want to interview you in person."
He Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That makes sense when you think about it.
Norton University has only a few board members, who are on par with the university president and are unlikely to be concerned with other things the students do.
He Xun was very anxious during those two minutes, but he could only wait.
Finally, the back door opened again.
The four professors quickly got up and went to greet them.
He Xun was just a student, and he should have stood up, but he didn't have the right to go forward to greet them; he simply raised his head.
Upon seeing this, his mind went completely blank, instantly shutting down.
It felt like countless bees were buzzing in his ears, making his scalp tingle and his pride completely crumble.
He Xun stared blankly as the girl entered, surrounded by professors, and sat down in the middle.
Looking directly into that strikingly beautiful face, he could no longer convince himself that he was mistaken.
"You've finally arrived." The professor who spoke first was very respectful. "Everything awaits your arrival."
“No need.” Ying Zijing leaned back in her chair, her gaze slowly falling on the incredulous He Xun. “You can ask me, I’ll listen.”
I need your help with something; it's very important to Emperor Ying.
