Chapter 286 - Fearing That Everyone's Life Is Not Competitive Enough

"You'll know if you try." Xia Yuanfang said tactfully, "This is a construction from the Gene level, and it will even change your appearance and figure. It's not only good for you, but also for Yingying..."

Aunt Chen's eyes flickered, and she suddenly understood, nodding hastily, "Yes! Of course, I want it!"

She knelt down to Xia Yuanfang, kowtowing, "If Xia Researcher can help Yingying solve this problem, I, Chen Fei, will be your servant for life, doing anything for Xia Researcher!"

She didn't even want her shares in Xia Yuanfang's studio, as long as Xia Yuanfang could help Zhu Yingying.

Xia Yuanfang also took out a tube of potion, saying, "This potion is designed for your age group. It needs to be injected once a month, and you won't see any effect until after three years of injections."

"This is also my first time using it. I hope Aunt Chen can forgive me if the effect is not good."

Aunt Chen wouldn't be any less understanding than San Zong.

She said sincerely, "Xia Researcher, you don't need to say such things, I understand. Even if it doesn't work, or even if it's bad for my body, I accept it, because I'm willing."

Which Humanoids wouldn't want to use something like this?

They would try it even if it meant going bankrupt.

...

The days passed with Xia Yuanfang's experiments and Xia Chujian's doing and answering questions.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the National Higher Education Entrance Examination.

July was blazing, with heat waves rolling.

Xia Chujian had spent more than two months in the Manor outside the city, enjoying two months of cool days like a summer resort, so she was a little unaccustomed to the heat in Mulan City.

Especially when she sat in the examination room of Mulan City No. 1 High School again, preparing for the National Higher Education Entrance Examination.

At this time, the junior students in the first and second year of high school were already on vacation.

The three floors of the school's teaching building were all used as examination centers for the National Higher Education Entrance Examination.

Each person's seat was separated by a certain distance, and there were partitions to separate everyone's sight, so as to prevent students who were Gene Evolvers with extraordinary vision from seeing other people's test papers.

Of course, this situation had never happened in Mulan City, Guiyuan Star.

The school arranged the examination center in this way only according to the regulations of the Cabinet Academic Department, and the venue was arranged uniformly.

Because the teachers who came to invigilate the exam were sent by the Cabinet Academic Department, not local teachers.

The annual National Higher Education Entrance Examination, although 10% of the university admission places are determined by recommendation, 90% are determined by the National Higher Education Entrance Examination scores.

Moreover, it completely depends on the scores, with unified score lines and unified admission for the Five Great Planets.

For ordinary civilians and citizens, it is the best opportunity to change their destiny.

But this year, the Cabinet Academic Department increased the recommendation quota to 20%, and the National Higher Education Entrance Examination admission quota only accounted for 80%.

This meant that competition among ordinary people was even more intense.

And the Nobles and privileged classes had twice as many places to go to university by recommendation.

Xia Chujian sat in the examination room, listening to the invigilator reading out the new regulations for this year's National Higher Education Entrance Examination, and sighed softly.

The road for them, these common people, to rise was getting narrower and narrower.

There were not many university admission places to begin with, and now 10% of the places for common people had been allocated to the Nobles and privileged classes. It was as if they were afraid that everyone's lives were not competitive enough...

However, Xia Chujian also thanked her Aunt for her "devil training" in the past two months.

She had done hundreds of test papers, and now when she saw similar-looking papers, she would subconsciously check if there were multiple-choice questions on them.

Sitting diagonally in front of her was Xi Danyu, the class beauty from the Intermediate Class.

She was not as calm and composed as Xia Chujian. At this time, she was trembling and looking around from time to time, as if she was afraid of something.

Xia Chujian knew what she was afraid of.

Because they were unlucky and were assigned to the ordinary class classroom for the third year of high school to take the exam.

More than three hundred students had died in this classroom.

Although the Deacon of the Holy Church had come to perform a ritual, it still could not dispel the shadow in their hearts.

Xia Chujian smiled at her, showing an encouraging expression.

Xi Danyu saw Xia Chujian's calm demeanor and suddenly wasn't afraid anymore.

What was there to be afraid of? Back then, Xia Chujian had personally killed that gunman! And those terrifying "Remnant Species" were also taken down by Xia Chujian!

If something like that happened again, being in the same room as Xia Chujian would greatly reduce the chances of anything bad happening to her! She smiled at Xia Chujian, looked away, and began to prepare for the exam.

Soon, the exam questions appeared on the physical display in front of them.

Each student was in their own small testing room, concentrating on answering the questions.

The first exam in the morning, as usual, was literature.

Xia Chujian scrolled through the exam questions on the screen, once again amazed.

Aunt's ability to predict the questions is truly magical...

Moreover, after these two months of intensive study, even if Aunt hadn't predicted a question, she was confident that she could answer it herself!

No wonder Aunt said that learning could change one's destiny.

Aunt also said that a good teacher could help students change their destiny! That's why Aunt regarded the title of "teacher" as very sacred and solemn.

Once, Xia Yuanfang saw some netizens on the Star Network calling sex workers "teachers," and she was immediately furious, feeling that it was an insult to the profession of "teacher," and was angry for several days.

At that time, Xia Chujian thought Aunt was making a mountain out of a molehill, but now she understood that it wasn't making a mountain out of a molehill, it was respecting herself, truly respecting the profession of "teacher."

...

Two hours later, the literature test papers disappeared from the physical display screens in front of them.

The literature exam was over.

Everyone had ten minutes of free time.

Xia Chujian walked out of the examination room, wanting to go to the storage cabinet outside to get her water bottle and drink some water.

Then, in the corridor on the third floor, she saw the dense crowd of parents at the school gate.

Some were standing anxiously waiting at the school's large iron gate, while others were sitting in flying vehicles, hovering in the sky outside the school gate.

Xia Yuanfang was not waiting at the school gate at this time, but anxiously waiting in her studio.

Because Xia Chujian wouldn't let her go to the school gate, saying that it would put too much psychological pressure on her and affect her performance.

This was also a very convincing excuse.

While Xia Yuanfang was anxiously waiting in her studio, Ning Sa, from the office across the hall, walked in with her one-and-a-half-month-old son, smiling, and said, "Doctor Xia, is today Chujian's National Higher Education Entrance Examination?"

Xia Yuanfang nodded, looked up at the child, who was fair and chubby, with bright and intelligent eyes, but also had a small, chubby face, which was particularly amusing, and immediately stopped being anxious.

She said with a smile, "Yes, today is the National Higher Education Entrance Examination. She won't let me go to the school, so I'm waiting for her here. Ms. Ning, this child is very healthy, has he been named yet?"

Ning Sa said, "Doctor Xia, don't call me Ms. Ning, it's too formal. Just call me A Ning, my son is called Ning Zheng, you can call him A Zheng."

"A Zheng? Zheng from 'striving for success'? A good name!" Xia Yuanfang stood up and reached out to Ning Sa, "Let me hold him?"

Ning Sa quickly handed the child to Xia Yuanfang.

Xia Yuanfang carefully examined A Zheng's head. The fontanelle on the top of his head had not yet closed, and she could feel the tissue inside still pulsating.

And carefully sensing with her fingers, she could also feel that in that place, in that soft tissue, there was a slightly harder spot.

That was where his horns used to grow.

Now it was becoming less and less obvious.

Xia Yuanfang said with satisfaction, "He's developing very well. Give him another injection when he's one year old."

Ning Sa sat down opposite her and said in a low voice, "Doctor Xia, which university does Chujian want to go to? If her National Higher Education Entrance Examination results are not ideal, we can help her get a recommendation."

Xia Yuanfang raised her eyebrows: "But the recommendations are already over, even if you are willing to help, it's too late now, right?"

Ning Sa said with a smile: "It's not too late, even if the university has started, I can help with this."

"So powerful? Then what if our Chujian wants to go to Beichen University's Quantum Optical Brain Engineering major?" Xia Yuanfang deliberately mentioned the most popular major at Beichen University right now.

"No problem. As long as Chujian wants to go, I can contact Beichen University immediately." Ning Sa said with a smile, "I owe you such a big favor, I must repay it. Whichever university she wants to go to, A Zheng's father only needs to say a word."

Xia Yuanfang said with a smile: "A Zheng's father is so powerful? Could he be the Minister of the Cabinet Academic Department?"

Ning Sa's heart skipped a beat, but the smile on her face remained unchanged as she said, "Anyway, if there's anything I can help with, just let me know."

Xia Yuanfang expressed her gratitude, saying, "Actually, Chujian has already taken the National Higher Education Entrance Examination. If her scores aren't good, forcing her to attend the best university with the best major would only create hidden problems. So, no need. Thank you for your kindness, A Ning. My niece and I are content with our lot."

Ning Sa said with emotion, "Doctor Xia, you're so capable, yet you're content to stay here in Mulan City on Guiyuan Star. That's truly rare."

"I think it's pretty good here." Xia Yuanfang smiled slyly, "The population file management here uses original paper documents, which aren't as strict as on other planets."

Ning Sa smiled knowingly.

If it weren't for that, it wouldn't have been so easy for her to create an identity for her son.

Now her son has a truly legal identity, although he's not a citizen, she's already very satisfied that he can be a commoner.

Moreover, she knew that Xia Yuanfang was looking for her help, and it should be related to these household registration identity documents.

Only by helping Xia Yuanfang could she feel at ease.

...

By the time Xia Chujian finished her math exam, it was already 12:30 p.m.

She was very confident this time that she would get a perfect score in math.

Her aunt had predicted the last five major problems correctly.

And she basically knew how to do the preceding multiple-choice questions, which were also within the scope of the outline circled by her aunt.

She only had half an hour for lunch, so she brought the meat pie made by her aunt, which was delicious, filling, quick, and convenient.

She finished lunch in just ten minutes, then drank water, spaced out, and spent the remaining twenty minutes.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the physics exam, which she dreaded the most, began.

Although physics had stabilized on the passing line under her aunt's frantic tutoring over the past two months, if she wanted to get into a better university, physics couldn't hold her back.

Almost forgot to update. ヽ(*.>Д<)o゜.

There will be a new update at 0:05 a.m.
