Chapter 99 - Top Scorer

“Are you lecturing me?” Bahuang Zhen was still expressionless.

“I feel nauseous when I see inhumane things.” Chen Yu resisted the urge to make a move. He grabbed the letter Bahuang Yao left for him and turned to leave.

“Childish.” Bahuang Zhen sneered. “So what if you’re the top scorer? You’re still a piece of trash. Can human nature be used as food? The survival of a race only requires animal nature…”

…

Walking out of the medical room, a large group of reporters instantly aimed their guns and short guns at Chen Yu.

“Student Chen Yu, congratulations on becoming the champion of Qingcheng University Entrance Examination!”

“May I ask how you’re feeling right now?”

“I’m a reporter from Qingcheng Radio Station. What do you have to say to the audience?”

“If contestant Bahuang Yao’s last strike hit the target accurately, do you think you’ll still win?”

Pushing away the crowd, Chen Yu waved his hand irritably. “I don’t accept interviews. Don’t stand here. I don’t accept interviews…”

Walking to the waiting area of No. 1 High School, the principal and the Chief Examiner had been waiting for a long time.

The bald Chief Examiner made a hand gesture, and many examiners immediately appeared and stopped the reporters.

“Student Chen Yu, congratulations.” The Chief Examiner walked up and shook Chen Yu’s hand. “The champion ceremony will be held soon. Get ready and change your clothes.”

“No.” Chen Yu let go of his hand and shook his head. “I’m not feeling well. I want to go back and rest.”

“You’re not going to participate in the ceremony?” The Chief Examiner frowned.

“Are you not going to participate in the award?”

“Here…”

“Then I won’t participate.”

The Chief Examiner:”…”

“Chen Yu, think about it again.” The principal of No. 7 High School had a complicated expression on his face. “If you don’t say anything… Our school’s award is, um… hard to calculate…”

Chen Yu: “…”

In the end, for the school’s prize money, Chen Yu still agreed.

Ten minutes later.

A string of fireworks suddenly shot up into the night sky and exploded one after another.

The host rushed to the central stage and raised his microphone high. “Dear viewers present and in front of the television, I am Ah Yong! After two days of fierce battle, the top scorer of the 24th College Entrance Examination in Qingcheng City has finally been born! He is Chen Yu from No. 7 High School!”

“Oh, oh, oh, oh!”

The cheers of the audience were deafening.

Chen Yu’s attributes were also dropping rapidly.

[Encouraged: Temporary Adrenaline -4% ; Temporary Strength -2% ; Temporary Will -4%…]

[Encouraged: Temporary Spirit -6% ; Temporary Temperament -4%…]

[Encouraged: Temporary Confidence-40; Temporary Charm-20; Luck-2…]

[Inspired: Temporary Charisma -19%…]

Chen Yu: “…”

The audience: “Ohhhh!”

Chen Yu: “Sin!”

The audience: “Waah ah ah ah ah!”

Chen Yu: “Sin!”

The audience: “Roar roar roar!”

Chen Yu: “Sin…”

…

In the audience Area A, Chen Siwen and Mother Chen hugged and wept.

“Mom! Xiao Yu is the top scorer! Xiao Yu is the top scorer!”

“I saw it, I saw it… If your dad were still alive…”

“Wu… It’s the top scorer…” Chen Siwen wailed. “My little brother is the top scorer! Ah ah ah…”

“Little brother?” Sister Qi, who was in the front row, was stunned. She turned around and looked at Chen Siwen up and down. “So… Chen Yu really likes the bigger ones…”

“The bigger ones?” Amidst the chaos, the old man accurately heard the keywords and looked left and right. “Which ones are the bigger ones?”

…

When the cheers from the audience had subsided.

Chen Yu walked up to the podium. First, he received the golden trophy representing the top scorer. Then, he held the microphone and swept his gaze across the audience.

He said, “Hello, everyone. I’m Chen Yu.”

“Oh, oh, oh, oh!”

“Good job!”

“OHHHHHHH…”

[Encouraged: Temporary Spirit -6% ; Temporary Appeal -14%…]

Chen Yu: “…”

Chen Yu: “I’m done. Thank you.”

The bald Chief Examiner: “?”

The principal of No. 7 High School: “??”

The host, Ah Yong: “???”

The screams of the audience also came to an abrupt end…

“Student… Student Chen Yu, you can’t just say one sentence.” The host began to wipe away his sweat.

“The prize money!” The principal of No. 7 High School frantically waved his hands below the stage. “The prize money! The prize money!”

After a moment of silence, Chen Yu could only continue, “This top scorer was not easy to come by. First of all, I have to thank my mother.”

Just as he said this, a light suddenly shone on Mother Chen, giving her a fright.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

The audience immediately gave this mother a thunderous applause!

“This child is great, his mother must be extraordinary!” The examiner in sunglasses sighed and clapped.

“What do you mean by that?” The female examiner beside him looked down on him.

The examiner in sunglasses: “…”

Then, Chen Yu nodded to his mother and continued, “Secondly, thank my sister. Although she often has a poisonous mouth, I know that she is willing to give me anything.”

Clap!

Another light shone on Chen Siwen’s body.

Chen Siwen’s tears fell like rain. She was so excited that she stood still. Her left hand covered her mouth and her right hand waved at Chen Yu repeatedly.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap…

The applause once again resounded throughout the entire stadium.

“And then.”Chen Yu’s voice paused slightly as he raised the trophy. “I still have to thank Sister Qi. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Sister Qi, thank you for your dedication to me.”

The third ray of light shone on Sister Qi.

Sister Qi was clearly stunned, but her eyes immediately turned red. She threw away her cigarette and bowed to the audience towards the camera.

Clap, clap. clap! × 60,000.

Mother Chen: “??”

Chen Siwen: “???”

“Catch.” Chen Yu turned around and looked at the No. 2 High School principal with a smile. “I want to thank the No. 2 High School principal.”

Pa!

The fourth light shone on the No. 2 High School principal.

Chen Yu: “You gave me two acres of land, so that I can wear the Six Nations’ seal? Thank you for kicking me out of the school before the College Entrance Examination, so that I could smoothly get into the top scorer.”

No. 2 High School’s principal: “F*ck!”

The audience immediately gave a friendly laugh.

“Finally.” Chen Yu looked at the No. 7 High School’s principal and bowed. “Thank you to my principal at No. 7 High School for discovering my strengths and giving me a place to live.”

The last light shone on the No. 7 High School’s principal. The principal immediately straightened his back, smiled and waved at the audience, and secretly made a ‘ten’ gesture to Chen Yu.

It implied that the prize was 100,000 yuan.

Chen Yu shivered and bowed two times. “Thank you, my principal, for being able to display my talent.”

The principal of No. 7 High School changed his sign — 200,000 yuan!

Chen Yu looked excited and bowed three times. “Thank you to him for giving me a new life!”

The sign changed — 300,000 yuan!

“Thank you to this principal. He is the true educator!”

400,000 yuan!

“He is the true wealth of our Qingcheng City!”

500,000 yuan!

“The country’s treasure!”

600,000 yuan!

The audience: “…”

…

The first-place winner ceremony ended.

But the carnival that belonged to Qingcheng City continued.

Leaving his mother and sister to be interviewed by the government, Chen Yu returned home alone. He entered his room and lay on his bed in a 木 shape.

He was silent for a long time.

He took out the Bahuang Yao’s letter again and read it again and again.

Through the dried tears on the letter, he tried to imagine the state of mind of the girl when she wrote the letter.

Turning his head and looking at the blooming fireworks outside the window, Chen Yu felt inexplicably ironic.

After an unknown amount of time, he sat up, put down the letter, opened the drawer of the desk, and took out a motherboard and a few ceramic memory cards.

These were the items he had obtained from the Qingcheng City alien region.

“Resurrection…”

Clenching the memory card tightly, Chen Yu’s eyes reflected the brilliance outside the window in the dimly lit room…
