Chapter 65 - 63: Staffing (Two-in-One)

points is the minimum score for the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance.

The Twenty-Five Schools Alliance is composed of twenty-five universities, with considerable differences between them.

After all, from 700 to 900 points, that’s a leap of two hundred points.

Among the twenty-five schools, the top few, like Penglai University and East Sea University, only accept scores above 850, or even close to 900.

"If I could get an extra 20-point bonus," Jiang Ye’s eyes sparkled, "then my chances of getting into those top-tier universities would greatly increase."

"And even have a chance to enter the top ten prestigious schools!"

He was fully aware that above 800 points, every point of progress was very hard-earned.

Just looking at Zhao Qingli was enough.

According to Jiang Ye’s knowledge, Zhao Qingli now spends well over a hundred thousand a month, even more.

To sprint for the college entrance exam, her parents naturally have to fully support her.

Spending so much resources, so much money.

After two months, she only improved by 35 points.

But this progress, in the entire An City No.3 High School, even across An City, was considered unrivaled.

Besides Zhao Qingli, no other student above 800 points progressed so rapidly.

And that’s just above 800 points; if it’s above 850 points? The difficulty of progress is even more exaggerated.

Thinking of this.

"Director." Jiang Ye looked at Zhang Jianwu in front of him and asked, "The proposal you mentioned, is it?"

"Apply for the Preparatory Star Profession."

Zhang Jianwu smiled and said, "As long as you can become a Preparatory Star Positioner before the college entrance exam, you can earn an additional 20-point bonus during the exam."

"Preparatory Star Profession?" Jiang Ye was stunned.

He had heard Star Envoy Liu mention this before.

But he didn’t expect that becoming a Preparatory Star Positioner could actually earn extra points for the college entrance exam?

Zhang Jianwu chuckled and said, "Being a Preparatory Star Positioner is part of the Federation’s system and is highly sought after in every province."

"If you can get in, even Martial Arts University would prioritize recruiting such students."

Jiang Ye questioned, "Joining the Federation’s system could earn extra points?"

Zhang Jianwu shook his head and said, "You need to register at the corresponding university, indicating that you will join this university under the status of a Preparatory Star Positioner. For example, if you pre-register at West Mountain University, then when you apply there for the college entrance exam, you can earn an extra 20-point bonus."

"Register?" Jiang Ye was slightly confused.

He wondered why there was a need to register?

"Are there any restrictions after registering?" Jiang Ye couldn’t help but ask.

"Restrictions? None." Zhang Jianwu shook his head and said, "The reason for such a regulation is because every province of the Federation hopes to attract students into their system."

"Currently, most of the system is concentrated in the Ten Southern Provinces and the Eastern Domain’s Ten Provinces."

"In contrast, our Western Ten Provinces are severely lacking in system talents."

Zhang Jianwu lamented, "If students register at universities in the Western Ten Provinces, it means they’ve entered the local system, contributing to this region."

"For instance, West Mountain University in our West Mountain Province offers high treatment to such talents, unlike universities in other provinces that might not offer such high score bonuses..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye finally understood.

I got it!

In essence, each province established this regulation to compete for spots.

Indeed, the ultimate purpose of the universe is a system spot.

Even the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance is vying for system spots!

Yet soon, Jiang Ye was curious and asked, "Director, do the universities in the Eastern Domain’s Ten Provinces offer this score bonus?"

West Mountain University, though part of the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance.

But it’s ranked lower.

You only need 750 points to get in.

Jiang Ye didn’t consider it his goal.

"Eastern Domain’s Ten Provinces?" Zhang Jianwu was stunned and said, "The universities there may only offer a 10-point bonus."

"Why, are you thinking of applying to universities in the Eastern Domain’s Ten Provinces?" He looked at Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye nodded.

In the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance, the top few schools are all in the Eastern Domain’s Ten Provinces.

Zhang Jianwu shook his head and said, "Universities there require at least 850 points."

Jiang Ye’s current score was 520 points.

There were only four months left until the college entrance exam.

Reaching West Mountain University’s threshold of 750 points would already be quite impressive.

points? Nearly impossible.

But recalling his repeated surprising performances over the past six months.

For a moment, Zhang Jianwu didn’t say anything discouraging.

"Jiang Ye." He smiled and said, "If you really want to apply to the Eastern Domain’s Ten Provinces, I support you."

"This Preparatory Star Profession requires recommendations for application."

"I happen to have a spot."

Zhang Jianwu smiled and said, "Next month is the exam period. If you decide to apply, I’ll give you this spot."

Jiang Ye showed an expression of surprise.

Through the Director’s words, he vaguely guessed the preciousness of the spot.

Joining the Federation’s system could earn bonus points during the college entrance exam.

Just the bonus points alone might be enough to make many wealthy people fight over it.

Yet now, the Director was giving it to him?

"Director..." Jiang Ye couldn’t help but ask, "Do you really think I have potential?"

Zhang Jianwu thought to himself, "You are someone Miss Chen regards highly, how can I not regard you highly?"

He calmly smiled and said, "I have always thought highly of your potential."

"This Preparatory Star Profession assessment isn’t an easy task either."

"You need to undergo a brutal field test to pass."

"And that’s exactly why I regard you highly."

Zhang Jianwu smiled and said, "If I’m not mistaken, you’ve awakened the Martial Bone, and possibly possessed abilities that enhance combat power, right?"

Jiang Ye’s heart moved slightly.

The Director also believed he had awakened the Martial Bone?

He indeed could use this reason as a cover.

Jiang Ye thought and immediately nodded, "Teacher Chen mentioned before that I had awakened the Martial Bone, and my field combat ability indeed exceeds what the tests show."

Zhang Jianwu smiled and said, "That’s why I recommend you participate in the Preparatory Star Profession assessment."

Jiang Ye nodded.

But soon, he remembered something else and asked puzzled, "Isn’t it necessary to hunt the Shadow Race in reality for the Preparatory Star Profession assessment?"

"There’s no need to worry about that."

Zhang Jianwu smiled, "When the time comes, the Examination Bureau will arrange it."

Jiang Ye pondered slightly.

A moment later.

"Alright," Jiang Ye solemnly said, "I’ll apply."

Whether it’s for the bonus points in the college entrance exam or the generous subsidy from the Preparatory Star Profession, all are attractive enough for him.

"Yes, I’ll remind you next month." Zhang Jianwu smiled and said, "This coming month, do your best to improve yourself."

"The student understands."

...

A moment later, Zhang Jianwu drove a black sedan to take Jiang Ye home.

After arriving home.

Jiang Ye took out twenty bottles of potion from his backpack.

"These potions..." Jiang Ye thought carefully.

If he used them himself, he felt it would be wasteful.

After all, in Zhao Qingli’s place, a thousand per bottle was enough to buy them.

And selling these potions could fetch a unit price of three thousand, or even higher.

Of course, most importantly, these potions came from the Divine Concealment Organization.

Although unopened, who knew if there were any issues?

"But where to sell?" Jiang Ye himself had no channels.

After considering, he finally called Zhao Qingli.

—During this mission, he had obtained her contact information.

The phone connected.

"Class President, do you buy potions?" Jiang Ye tentatively asked.

"You want to sell those potions?" Zhao Qingli seemed unsurprised and said indifferently, "Two thousand per bottle, I can exchange them with equivalent Martial Arts Ingredients."

"Two thousand per bottle?" Jiang Ye frowned slightly.

This price was much lower than the market price.

Zhao Qingli explained, "I’ve just checked these potions; they are smuggled goods and can only be circulated on the black market."

"Two thousand is the highest price I can offer. Think about it."

"Smuggled goods?" Jiang Ye was shocked.

Fortunately, he didn’t find someone else to sell them; otherwise, if caught, it would be illegal.

However, handing them over to Zhao Qingli was fine since her background was with pharmaceutical companies.

"Alright, then two thousand per bottle." Jiang Ye laughed and said, "I trust the beautiful Class President the most."

"Hmph."

Zhao Qingli snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "We’ll trade back at school."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ye put away the potion bottles again.

He opened the panel and took a look.

"Strange, I’ve already completed the mission, why hasn’t the reward settlement page appeared?"

Earlier, when he accepted this mission, the system displayed an ’Faction Mission’ achievement.

"Could it be that I need to return to school?" Jiang Ye wondered.

He took a deep breath.

"Let’s cultivate first."

He came to the center of the room and sat cross-legged.

Silently operated the "Star Martial Advancement Technique."

"The Preparatory Star Profession assessment must be pretty challenging."

"Before then, work hard to cultivate and improve."

The Preparatory Star Profession assessment is not only related to important bonus points in the college entrance exam.

If he succeeds, he can also receive monthly subsidies ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands!

Jiang Ye, determined to succeed.
