9: Mayor's Phone Number

"The top one ten-thousandth of the Blue Star Youth List?" Chen Du was so surprised he almost cried out.

He had seen this list in a book before; it was specifically for National Higher Education Entrance Examination students and was known as the Genius list.

Even though Chen Du attended a prestigious high school,

He knew he was far from a Genius, let alone an ordinary class student like himself.

Even those Hongzhi Class students, considered favored children of heaven, few dared to call themselves Geniuses.

Liang City is a small to medium-sized city, with about 1,000 students participating in the National Higher Education Entrance Examination each year.

Above cities are districts; Liang City falls under the jurisdiction of Ziyun District.

Each district governs one hundred cities, and a district has about 100,000 National Higher Education Entrance Examination students.

Above districts are domains; Liang City is under the jurisdiction of Ziyun District, and Ziyun District is under the jurisdiction of Giant Bear Domain.

A domain consists of ten districts, equivalent to one thousand cities.

Approximately one million candidates participate in the National Higher Education Entrance Examination in each domain every year.

And an Ecological Circle is composed of seven domains, roughly equivalent to seven thousand cities.

In other words, the number of National Higher Education Entrance Examination candidates in the Seventh Ecological Circle each year is approximately seven million.

There are a total of nine major Ecological Circles for humans, which means that in humanity's High Martial Civilization, the number of students participating in the National Higher Education Entrance Examination each year is approximately 63 million!

Chen Du's one ten-thousandth, even if it's the last place, is the 6,300th!

Although this is only a Martial Skill ranking, it is still enough to be proud of!

After Chen Du clicked on the information, he found a more detailed breakdown.

Chen Du:

Blue Star Youth List: No. 6219

Seventh Ecological Circle Youth List: No. 654

Giant Bear Domain Youth List: No. 55

Ziyun District Youth List: No. 7

Liang City Youth List: No. 1

This is a ranking specifically for National Higher Education Entrance Examination students' Martial Skill. Because Chen Du's previous battle count was less than 10, it was not displayed.

He didn't expect that after mastering Azure Dragon Thrust this time, he accidentally entered the top one ten-thousandth of all National Higher Education Entrance Examination students in the entire civilization!

Even though Chen Du was a young man who didn't show much emotion, at this moment, his face was flushed with excitement, as if he had received some kind of recognition...

At 7 PM sharp, after the family of four finished dinner, Chen Du was washing dishes in the kitchen.

His father, Chen Juncai, quietly walked into the kitchen and lit a cigarette.

"Dad?" Chen Du was a little surprised because he knew his father rarely smoked, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Chen Du..." Chen Juncai slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and asked with a serious expression, "Am I very old?"

"Dad! What are you talking about? You're only forty-three!"

Chen Du answered quickly, his face revealing an expression of bewilderment.

"Is that so?" Chen Juncai took a deep drag from his cigarette and continued:

"Then why would you so easily give up your future for that bit of qi and blood milk money?"

"This afternoon, Teacher Ling called to inquire about our family's situation, and that's when I found out that your Martial Skill has already reached 89% of the first stage!"

Chen Juncai's voice trembled slightly, revealing his inner excitement.

"Dad is not illiterate, I also participated in the National Higher Education Entrance Examination, and I also attended Martial Arts University."

"Naturally, I understand what this means. This is a good thing, why did you hide it from your mother and me?"

"Are you worried about the family's financial situation? Or are you thinking about your younger brother?"

Chen Juncai's tone became firm, and a hint of imperceptible sadness flickered in his eyes:

"Chen Du, Chen Du, you don't have to be so sensible..."

"The sky of the Chen family, I, Chen Juncai, can still hold it up!"

"Dad, I..."

Chen Du opened his mouth, momentarily unsure of what to say.

He hadn't told his family about the Hongzhi Class assessment this time.

His Martial Skill score at the end of last semester was 55% of the first stage.

It was also from that time that he went from one packet of qi and blood milk a day to two.

But Chen Du knew that this was already his family's limit, and he didn't want to add more burden to his parents' shoulders.

He had the Crystal Space, so even without money, without the enhancement of external resources,

He still believed he could rise, it would just take a little longer.

If he passed the Hongzhi Class assessment this time and received the corresponding resource subsidy, he would naturally tell his family.

But he never expected that Ling Yun would call to inquire about the family's situation.

Chen Juncai didn't say anything more; Chen Du's sensibility made his heart ache a little.

He knew Chen Du's personality was like his, the type who would rather suffer himself for his family to live well.

He quietly took out a card, put it into Chen Du's shirt pocket, patted his chest, and encouraged him:

"Four more months, go all out!"

Looking at Chen Juncai's retreating back, Chen Du's eyes were slightly red, his fists clenched, and the thousands of words in his heart converged into one word at this moment:

"Okay!"

...Liangcheng No. 1 High School, Principal's Office.

Li Mu signed the last document, put down his pen, and slowly stretched.

He moved his body, took a sip of the tea in his cup, which had long since cooled, and planned to go home for dinner.

"Master, Mayor Wang is requesting 3D communication."

Li Mu had just stood up and tidied his clothes, preparing to leave the office to go home for dinner, when his smart wristband received a 3D communication request.

"Mayor Wang?" Li Mu's expression instantly became serious.

He immediately made his hair and clothes a little messy, creating an appearance of being busy at work.

Then, he skillfully opened the first drawer on the right side of his desk.

He took out a packet, the size of a fingernail, from inside, a heating pack,

He threw it into the already cooled tea in the cup, and a second later, steam began to rise from the cup.

At the moment the steam rose, Li Mu clicked the answer button on his smart wristband.

"I'm sorry, Mayor, for keeping you waiting."

"I just brewed a cup of hot tea and was about to work overtime to deal with some urgent matters!" Li Mu said apologetically.

"Haha, Principal Li, you are truly dedicated! If the principals of other high schools could be as diligent and responsible as you, I would be much more at ease!"

Mayor Wang praised Li Mu's work attitude and gave him a thumbs up in affirmation.

"First, congratulations! Your school has produced a promising talent, who has even entered the top one ten-thousandth of the Blue Star Youth List!"

Mayor Wang said happily, "Not only is he the number one on our Liang City Youth List, but he also made it to seventh place on the Ziyun District Youth List!"

"His Martial Skill talent is exceptional!"

Hearing this, Li Mu forced a smile, muttering to himself.

The top one ten-thousandth of the Blue Star Youth List?

Seventh on the Ziyun District Youth List?

First in Liang City?

He wasn't sure about the others, but wasn't Liu Bo from No. 2 High School the first on the Liang City Youth List?

That student hadn't been able to get into No. 1 High School because of a subject imbalance and went to No. 2 High School.

His Martial Skill talent was very strong, consistently suppressing the two first-stage high-level students in No. 1 High School's Hongzhi Class.

Did Mayor Wang dial the wrong number or...?

A hint of doubt flashed in Li Mu's mind, but he still maintained a smile and said:

"Not at all, it's all thanks to your excellent leadership, Mayor. We are just moving forward according to the goals you set."

Mayor Wang seemed accustomed to such flattery and didn't expose it.

"I won't say anything else, the Hundred Cities Championship starts next month."

"Tomorrow, bring Chen Du, Liu Bo, and Moreit to my office."

"Okay, no problem!" Li Mu quickly agreed.

After disconnecting the communication, he was somewhat dazed.

Liu Bo was the strongest Martial Skill student in No. 2 High School, and Moreit was the No. 1 student in No. 1 High School's Hongzhi Class.

Who is Chen Du?

Wait a minute... "Chen Du... Chen Du... such a familiar name, I seem to have just heard it."

Slap!

Li Mu slapped the table and exclaimed:

"Chen Du is the student Teacher Ling recommended for the Hongzhi Class, isn't he!"
