After boosting her score to Silver VI in one go, Wen Xiangjie, feeling sleepy, exited the combat program and fell asleep soundly, hugging the Elf Queen.
Someone on the National College Forum specifically followed Wen Xiangjie and checked her activity.
Seeing Wen Xiangjie go offline, he immediately posted a new thread on the forum.
“Folks, the Great Demon King finally couldn't hold on and went to sleep! Those in the Silver rank can now get points!”
Below, a row of students in the Silver rank lined up, posting cheering and joyful emojis.
The next day, after waking up, Wen Xiangjie ate breakfast and headed to the classroom.
Although Guan Mingwen had told her yesterday that she could return to her dorm early, that was because she didn't need to attend yesterday's classes; today, she still needed to go to the classroom as usual to show respect to Guan Mingwen.
Holding a fire bun made by the villa butler in her hand, with the Elf Queen sitting on her shoulder holding a flower cake snack, one person and one pet strolled leisurely towards the classroom.
At this time, it was also class time for First Military Academy students, and the road was filled with students from First Military Academy coming and going.
Aside from the opening ceremony on the first day of school, this was Wen Xiangjie's first time truly feeling like she was attending college.
Youth, how wonderful it is!
The drop rate for pets is very low, so Wen Xiangjie, bringing the Elf Queen to class, quickly attracted the attention of passing students.
“Wow, it's a pet! Is it an elf? So exquisite, so cute!!!”
“It's the Elf Queen! Don't you usually browse the school forum? This is Wen Xiangjie, this year's top scorer in the national college entrance examination, and the Elf Queen sitting on her shoulder is an SSS-grade pet!”
“SSS-grade??? This is my first time seeing an SSS-grade pet! Oh, I'm so envious. With a pet like that, even if I were useless, I could walk around proudly.”
“If you were useless, you wouldn't get an SSS-grade pet.”
“? Little mouth, don't speak!”
“Did you see last night's hot search? We're both freshmen, so why is Wen Jie so outstanding? I'm only level 7 now, and Wen Jie is already level 20!”
“I thought you would have understood this after the college entrance examination results came out.”
Wen Xiangjie arrived at the classroom with the Elf Queen.
“Wen Jie! Lingling! Good morning!” Wang Zhizhen excitedly rushed to Wen Xiangjie's side, her eyes eagerly looking at the Elf Queen sitting on Wen Xiangjie's shoulder.
Aside from the Elf Queen being an SSS-grade top-tier pet, her appearance alone was enough to conquer most beauty enthusiasts.
The Elf Queen used the tissue Wen Xiangjie had specially customized for her to wipe her small hands and mouth, then waved to Wang Zhizhen in greeting.
Her way of greeting was exactly the same as Wen Xiangjie's.
“Ahhh! Lingling! Why are you so cute, Lingling!” Wang Zhizhen was as excited as if she had been noticed by her idol. If she hadn't been afraid of scaring the Elf Queen, her scream could have been even louder.
Wen Xiangjie returned to her seat with the Elf Queen, and soon after, Wei Zicheng also arrived in the classroom. His eyes were dark underneath, but his expression was incredibly excited.
“Your dark circles, what did you do last night?” Qiu Meixin asked in surprise.
“I stayed up all night to rank up!” Wei Zicheng immediately came before Wen Xiangjie and the other two, asking with a feigned air of mystery but actual boasting, “Guess what rank I am now?”
Wen Xiangjie and the other two remained expressionless.
Say it or don't.
Wei Zicheng: ???
He silently clutched his chest, a familiar feeling of a heart attack.
It didn't matter. After so many setbacks, his skin had thickened. If no one gave him a step down, he could just jump down himself.
“I'm now Bronze III!” Wei Zicheng exclaimed, hands on hips, laughing excitedly.
After finishing his placement matches overnight, going from Bronze II to Bronze III, he felt he truly lived up to being a born combat saint.
A mere Gold rank? That would be easy to achieve, wouldn't it?
“That's it?” Qiu Meixin glanced at Wen Xiangjie, then looked back at Wei Zicheng.
“Did you not see the hot search yesterday?”
“No, what's so good about the hot search? My time is precious and needs to be used for ranking up!” Wei Zicheng said dismissively.
“If you had just glanced at the hot search, you would know that Wen Jie is already Silver VI, and her win rate is still 100%. The top hot post currently on the National College Forum is a thick memoir of victims,” Wang Zhizhen chuckled.
Wei Zicheng: ???
“Wen Jie is Silver VI???” Wei Zicheng asked with a shocked expression, “No way, how could Wen Jie rank up so fast? The points you get for winning a match are very few! I played all night and only managed to gather enough points to go up one rank!”
“Winning streaks have a point bonus. I can get dozens of points for winning a match now,” Wen Xiangjie replied with a smile.
Wei Zicheng: ?
Why did he still not learn his lesson and insist on listening to Wen Jie speak!
However, this time, he touched his chest and felt that the pain was not as severe.
Had his Dao heart, after being shattered and mended multiple times, become even more resilient? It truly was you, Wei Zicheng!
Soon, class time arrived, and Guan Mingwen entered the classroom precisely on time.
As soon as she stood on the podium, she smiled and looked at Wen Xiangjie, asking, “That person mentioned on the college forum, that's you, Wen Xiangjie? The Great Demon King? The King of Debuffs?”
“It should be me.” Being called “Great Demon King” and “King of Debuffs,” such chuunibyou-sounding titles, directly by her teacher, Wen Xiangjie felt like her toes were already digging out a villa.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Wei Zicheng looking at her with an envious expression, as if he thought her title was incredibly cool.
Wen Xiangjie: …
“Reaching Silver VI in one day, Wen Xiangjie, every time I think I've already seen enough of your potential, you always manage to give me an even bigger surprise,” Guan Mingwen said with admiration.
“From today onwards, you don't need to attend my classes. It's a complete waste of your time. You just need to train independently every day.”
The Lin family was naturally the most concerned about Wen Xiangjie being on the hot search again.
The Lin family held another family meeting.
The last family meeting was a month ago. The Lin family rarely held family meetings so frequently, and both times, the main topic of discussion was about the same person.
It was truly because Wen Xiangjie's talent was too extraordinary and her growth speed too fast; otherwise, given the Lin family's size, they wouldn't need to care about a university student who was only level twenty right now.
“The ranking competition results are out. Wen Xiangjie, first place,” the Lin family patriarch said in a deep voice. “First Military Academy's resources have been fully tilted towards Wen Xiangjie. As long as Wen Xiangjie needs it, no matter what level of equipment and skills, First Military Academy will prioritize providing them to Wen Xiangjie.”
“If this continues, in less than ten years, Wen Xiangjie will probably become another level 90 powerhouse on the Government's side, especially since she has a deep hatred with our Lin family.”
