Days went by.
As the day of the high school exam result announcement got closer, the old couple became increasingly tense, following the advice of the psychiatrist, watching Lin Beichen more closely, fearing that he might do something drastic like touching high-voltage electricity.
However, their worries were clearly unnecessary.
The thought of using high-voltage electricity had been dismissed from Lin Beichen's mind the moment he fully regained his clarity that day. Joking aside, even though his comprehension was heaven-defying, his body was not. Touching high voltage would be pure suicide! How could he create a cultivation method if he was dead?
It was easy for someone with heaven-defying comprehension to understand this logic!
Of course, if he ever truly mastered the Thunder Skill in the future, then touching high voltage might not be impossible.
These days, he stayed obediently at home, not going anywhere. He wanted to create an image for his parents that he was completely fine, lowering their psychological defenses and laying a solid foundation for sneaking out later!
Soon, it was Wednesday evening, the night before the exam results were to be released.
That night, the old couple was still awake in their bedroom.
Lin Xiangdong took off his glasses, closed the newspaper, and turned to his wife beside him, "Honey, the exam results come out tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, tomorrow at 8 AM."
Zheng Xia nodded, sighed, and said, "Chenchen's condition these days seems pretty good, just like before. I hope that once the results are out tomorrow, it won't trigger anything in him, causing any relapse. Hopefully, like Dr. Wang said, he will completely recover over time."
Then, she thought of something, her brows furrowed, her expression serious, "I warn you, don't keep questioning him about his exam results tomorrow!"
"Don't worry,"
Lin Xiangdong nodded, assuring her, "I won't bother him at all tomorrow. We will just wait for him to mention it himself, and I'll listen to what he says."
"Right, right!"
Zheng Xia showed a satisfied smile, "Tomorrow, we just need to be mute. As the young folks say, 'tomorrow, we just need to be there for him.'"
"..."
While the old couple was discussing in the bedroom.
The topic of their concern, Lin Beichen, had already fallen asleep.
He woke up naturally before dawn, following the plan he had set beforehand. He dressed, grabbed the backpack he had packed the day before, and quietly left the house without disturbing his parents, who were in a deep sleep. He hailed a cab and headed straight for his destination!
...
...
As the first rays of morning sunlight struggled to pierce through the slight dark clouds to shine on the earth.
Not just in North Mountain City, but throughout East Mountain Province, there was a tense, anxious, yet hopeful atmosphere.
Less than an hour remained until the high school exam results would be announced!
Almost every family with a candidate was gathered around the computer, exam admission ticket in hand, waiting for the moment the results would be released.
Five seconds...
Four seconds...
Three seconds...
...
At the final second, when the time jumped from 7:59 to 8:00.
Thousands of candidates swarmed the score-checking website, entering their admission ticket numbers, and clicking on [Check].
"It's out, it's out! I scored 503, a bit higher than I estimated. Sweet!"
"Oh my God, 584! I've never scored this high, hahaha!"
"What's going on? Why is the screen still blank? Why aren't the scores showing?"
"Huh? Only 449? I estimated at least 500! What? Only 68 in math? There must be a grading error! I need to apply for a recheck!"
"566, good. It's pretty close to my estimate, a stable performance."
"..."
Thousands of voices echoed over the city.
Some cried tears of joy for exceeding their expectations.
Some couldn't hide their disappointment with scores far below their expectations.
Some felt no strong emotions as their scores matched their expectations.
Some were anxious, frustrated by their inability to check their scores immediately.
Meanwhile.
At North Mountain Third High School, seven or eight people were seated in the conference room, including the principal, vice principal, and grade directors.
Sitting at the head of the table was a slightly plump middle-aged man with a clean-shaven appearance and gold-rimmed glasses.
He was Wang Zhengming, the principal of North Mountain Third High School.
He began, "The high school exam scores have been released. The candidates are certainly checking their results now. Regardless of their scores, they'll soon need to fill out their university applications. Vice Principal, you should organize an online guidance session for interested students to help them fill out their applications correctly, to prevent any regrets later. Grade directors, ensure this information is accurately conveyed to the homeroom teachers, so they can notify their students..."
As Wang Zhengming was giving instructions for subsequent tasks, he suddenly felt his phone, set to vibrate mode, buzzing continuously in his pocket.
He took out his phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number, not saved in his contacts, but he recognized the number—
It was from the provincial education department!
A call from the provincial education department at this hour?
This...
Wang Zhengming speculated and showed a happy expression. He decided to answer the call immediately, even though he had considered ignoring it initially.
"A call from the provincial education department,"
he explained to those around him before answering.
Before he could speak,
a hearty laugh came from the other end, "Principal Wang! You've done an amazing job! Quietly nurtured the top scorer in our province!"
Wang Zhengming: What???
What???
Top scorer???
North Mountain Third High School produced the provincial top scorer???
Did the provincial education department call the wrong number???
...
He initially thought the call was to praise North Mountain Third High School for significantly improving their exam results compared to previous years.
Never did he imagine...
That it was to congratulate the school for producing the provincial top scorer!
This felt like a dream!
Even...
This was a dream he wouldn't dare to dream!
Since its founding, North Mountain Third High School had never produced a top scorer, nor had any student ever made it into the top ten in the province!
Moreover...
Not just North Mountain Third High School, even North Mountain First High, the best school in the city, hadn't produced a top scorer in over a decade!
As Wang Zhengming was still in a daze from the good news from the provincial education department,
the voice on the other end delivered even more shocking news.
"And..."
"It's a perfect score in all subjects!"
