When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: 9 Universities

In fact, many peoples' systems could directly determine the university they should choose. For instance, Wang Dan from their class, the owner of the Flower Cultivation System, she clearly knew that she must choose a liberal arts university, specifically one related to plant disciplines.

And Wang Pangzi, with his Dance King System, had to opt for the College of Dance Arts within a liberal arts university.

However, systems like Zhuo Jing's Appreciation System, Kong Xiuwen's Bald System, Liu Qianrou's Backup System, and Xiao Sa's Bootlicker System did not have a strict boundary.

Whether walking the path of literary Dao or martial arts, they could each be used to complete missions.

Thus, System School Selection Consultation primarily targets these undecided Awakeners, helping them answer some questions and ascertain their future direction.

"Xiang Beifei, is your system inclined more toward literary Dao or martial arts?" Kong Xiuwen turned and asked.

"It's hard to say."

Xiang Beifei pondered.

Having no system tied to him, choosing between literary Dao and martial arts made no difference to him.

But since his parents were both pioneers, which means martial artists, if he had to choose, he could try a martial arts university.

"I'm also not sure," Kong Xiuwen said with great agony, clutching at his own hair, then said, "Why don't you come with me? That way, we can look out for each other. We'd better apply for martial arts university because the martial arts university's required entrance score is lower than that of the liberal arts university.

I feel it'd be hard for us to attend a good liberal arts university with our grades."

"Your S-grade system gives you an added 50 points; have some confidence in yourself."

"With my performance in cultural classes, even an added 50 points won't help!" Kong Xiuwen lamented.

"That's not necessarily true," their homeroom teacher, Yang Hua, said, having arrived at some point and heard their conversation. "Individuals with S-grade systems, no matter how poor their grades, needn't worry about not having a university to attend. You can participate in autonomous recruitment of ordinary universities. As long as you pass, the grades from your cultural classes won't matter much."

"Really?" Kong Xiuwen was very surprised.

"Yes, after all, those with S-grade are one in a hundred; the alliance wouldn't let such talent go to waste. But for specific admission rules, you'll need to consult your counselor and can also contact the admissions office, sometimes even opting for an interview." Yang Hua was very patient with Kong Xiuwen, then glanced at Xiang Beifei.

In his view, Xiang Beifei, an N-grade, failing his subjects, was beyond help.

——

All morning, Xiang Beifei reacquainted himself with everyone in his class and their systems. Some systems were quite concrete, like You Wei from their class who awakened the R-grade Director System, his ultimate task being to become a top director.

He was currently wandering about with a smartphone, preparing to start filming small clips for QuickShake videos.

Then there was a girl Xiang Beifei hardly spoke to, named Qian Xiaolu, who awakened the R-grade Dong Shi Effects System, capable of briefly imitating other people's abilities.

In the class, the one nicknamed "silly big guy," Huang Han, had awakened an N-grade Ghost Capturing System, a rather peculiar one, as it required him to venture into various horror films to capture ghosts, which he could then summon for his use.

Yet, everyone knew this guy was quite timid. The horror movie scenes the system transported him into felt very real to him.

He had undertaken his first mission the previous night and seemed to have been terrified.

However, these systems were still better than some like the Dishwashing System or the Flower Cultivation System.

System School Selection Consultation was arranged according to seat numbers, and every five students were sent in a batch, while others needed to solidly revise their cultural classes in the classroom.

Xiang Beifei was also studying. Before traversing to this time, the person named Xiang Beifei had poor grades in cultural classes, but the current Xiang Beifei was different.

"Learn by Analogy" was an extremely powerful learning ability; anything, simply with a glance, could be computed in mind.

In his previous life, he was quite devoted to his studies, and although the academic content here was not completely identical to that of his previous world, it was not very difficult to master.

For him, using his cultural class grades to enter a good university gave him self-assurance.

But which university should he choose?

Xiang Beifei looked at the freshly distributed university enrollment manual.

The Jiuzhou Alliance, divided into nine provinces: Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou.

The nine provinces each possessed a top institution named after the province.

Since Xiang Beifei's Luhe High School fell under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou, the most prestigious university there was naturally Liangzhou University.

It was a comprehensive university which further categorized into Liangzhou Martial Arts College and Liangzhou Literary Arts College.

The situation in other provincial universities was the same, such as Jizhou University, Yanzhou University, Qingzhou University, etc.

The nine universities were Ivy League schools of the alliance, each year setting extremely high admission scores!

Apart from these nine universities, there were other ones of smaller scale; these were less prestigious and had lower score thresholds.

"Almost all Awakeners in the nine elite universities are S-grade or above, truly a gathering of elites," Xiang Beifei mused on his future prospects.

With only two months until the college entrance examination, he needed to determine his future direction.

Having no system, if he needed to obtain someone else's system rewards, it seemed better to attend a university filled with S-grade elites.

The rewards from S-grade systems were significantly substantial.

With his current situation, theoretically, scores were not the issue.

Yet, the tuition fees of these nine universities were frighteningly expensive.

A school year costing a hundred thousand in the currency of Jiuzhou Alliance!

The educational conditions in the elite universities were top-notch, but correspondingly, to meet graduation requirements, many expenses were unavoidable.

Xiang Beifei's family, living on the income from his grandfather selling vegetables, made merely two to three thousand a month.

"Even with a pension, these expenses are still too great."

Xiang Beifei frowned slightly at the thought of the hundred thousand tuition fee.

If he got into an elite university, his grandfather would certainly be ecstatic, even going as far as to sell everything to pay for his education.

But he didn't want to burden his grandfather so greatly.

It wasn't easy for the old man.

Xiang Beifei needed to figure out how to earn money.

Well, he thought, let's just cross the bridge when we come to it.

After attending two more classes in the afternoon, it was Xiang Beifei's turn for System School Selection Consultation.

Xiang Beifei and Kong Xiuwen made their way to the office together; he needed to inquire about things like student loans, as a hundred thousand was a significant expense.

The location for System School Selection Consultation was the academic building, where quite a few students gathered, all exchanging thoughts with one another, most appearing very nervous.

These were all novice Awakeners. Even with systems, they couldn't guarantee full comprehension of their system's attributes; they still required help from others.
