Chapter 45 TwelfthOn the other side, another round of cries rang.
Mu Xinyue and Yue Hongxiang, the two female students happened to walk out of the women"s changing room as well.
Mu Xinyue ranked first at the List of Beauty in the Third College and was pretty famous in the entire Cloudy Dream City. She sure was pretty, and, she was obviously more famous than Lin Beichen. Soon, many people recognized her.
“She"s Mu Xinyue from the Third College.”
“The Civilian Princess.”
“Wow. G.o.ddess.”
Some male students from other colleges all shouted in low voices, lights glistening in their eyes.
“The girl next to her is very graceful too.”
“Well, I didn"t expect that the Third College can"t teach well, but they sure are keen when they pick their female students.”
Many snickers of bad intentions rang.
Ding Sans.h.i.+ stood under the stone tablet awkwardly.
He never thought that the Third College attracted attention for the first time because the students looked good.
“Teacher.”
The four people came to the front of Ding Sans.h.i.+.
“These are your numbers in the camp. You must keep them carefully and never lose them, because from now on, they"re the only things that can prove your ident.i.ties. If they"re lost, it"ll be very troublesome to get new ones.”
Ding Sans.h.i.+ respectively handed four stone tokens to four people.
Lin Beichen took it and had a look.
The stone token looked very simple. It was oval, about four centimeters wide and six centimeters long. His name was carved on the front side, and the number on the back side.
The number was 12.
However, he didn"t know what the number meant.
Other than that, there were lines of Mystery Mark on the stone token. They were carefully carved and looked dense. Connecting to each other, the looked like a miniature circuit diagram. If it was on earth, they might have to use a microscope to carve it.
Lin Beichen knew this.
Mystery Mark Formation.
It was a Mystery Mark master"s work.
It looked like the stone token could not only identify people.
“Let"s go.”
Ding Sans.h.i.+ brought the four people to the edge of the square. He chose an empty s.p.a.ce and ordered the four students to start setting up a tent.
Setting up a tent?
“Will we live in a tent at night?”
Lin Beichen had a bad hunch in the heart.
Ding Sans.h.i.+ said. “Of course. It"s tough in the trial camp. You can"t ask for more. And, you"re here to take part in compet.i.tions and endure hards.h.i.+ps. You"re not here to enjoy yourselves. Isn"t it natural to live in a tent?”
It made so much sense.
Lin Beichen pointed to the side and asked, “But why do they get to live in houses?”
Ding Sans.h.i.+ turned to look and said, “Oh. That"s because they"re geniuses from Royal National Junior College, real Sons of Destiny. They"re top young geniuses in Cloudy Dream City, qualified to live in big houses.”
Lin Beichen pointed to another side and asked, “But what about them?”
Ding Sans.h.i.+ looked again and said, “Oh. That"s because they"re geniuses from First Provincial Junior College, and also rare prodigy Grade Two students in Cloudy Dream City. They sure can live in big houses.”
Lin Beichen pointed to another side again. “B-but, there are also them.”
This time, Ding Sans.h.i.+ directly didn"t bother to look and said, “You little brat, you really can talk and have to ask, right? I"ll tell you directly. Except for our Third College, the other major provincial colleges and Royal Junior College have their own stone houses in the camp. If you want to live in a stone house, you have to ask if you have the ability.”
Lin Beichen became stunned. “Is the rank of our Third College so low?”
Ding Sans.h.i.+ said, “Right. Just that low.”
Lin Beichen fell silent.
Ding Sans.h.i.+ added, “So why do you think this will happen? We rank sixth in the six provincial colleges. We are the last one. For a dozen years, no one in our college has pa.s.sed the qualifying match. Our contestants even were reduced from 10 to four. I just want to ask you, are we miserable or not?”
What the heck.
It really could make men fall silent and reduce women to tears.
Miserable.
Really miserable.
Lin Beichen said, “That means, only our college"s students live in a tent on the square?”
This was too embarra.s.sing.
Ding Sans.h.i.+ grinned and said, “It"s not completely like that. Other than us, representatives from the major home schools and gang groups also live on the square. Look, aren"t people over there also setting up tents? Well, so, we"re not alone. We still got companions.”
Lin Beichen cursed in the heart.
What a great thing to feel proud of.
Was Ding Sans.h.i.+ saying the most embarra.s.sing words in the proudest manner?
Though he came to become a loser, even a loser had his target, alright?
Between the talking, the tent were set up.
Ding Sans.h.i.+ had prepared this earlier. It was a simple big tent with inner and outer s.p.a.ce. The inner place belonged to the two girls, Mu Xinyue and Yue Hongxiang; while the outer s.p.a.ce would become Lin Beichen and Wu Xiaofang"s temporary shelter in the next 10 days.
Lin Beichen asked, “Eh? Where do you live, Mr. Ding?”
Would he stand outside to guard the four students?
This was too bad for him.
Ding Sans.h.i.+ said, “Oh, I forgot to tell you. The leading teachers have special spring rooms…”
S-spring… spring room?
This was a special treatment.
Lin Beichen. “…”
“I shouldn"t have freaking asked.”
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, the sun hung low in the west.
The 100 partic.i.p.ant students all had checked in at the trial camp.
Moreover, on the stone list at the center of the square, all the students" names had already been completely released.
Out of curiosity, Lin Beichen went to look at it.
“30 people from Royal National Junior College, 16 from the First College, 10 from the Second and Fourth Colleges each, seven from the Fifth College, seven from the Sixth College, 10 from major home schools each, and five from gangs. The Third College has the least, four… Tut-tut, the last one of Cloudy Dream City junior colleges really lives up to its name.”
Lin Beichen felt very impressed.
It"s no wonder the Third College was willing to take the city-famous sc.u.mbag and black sheep Lin Beichen. It turned out to be a lemon as well.
At the same time, on the other side of the stone tablet, a brand new list was also released at the same time.
They were the individual rankings of all the students in the united examination compet.i.tion of Cloudy Dream City.
After one glance, Lin Beichen immediately understood what the number on his stone token meant.
He was ranked 12th in the individual rankings.
“Wow. I got three full marks and Mystery Energy at level 7, and have won every match I took part in. And I actually didn"t make it to the top 10. Are geniuses from other colleges all so monstrous?”
He felt a little unconvinced.
He looked down from the top of the list.
The top one of the individual rankings was someone called Ling Chen, from the Royal National Junior College.
Unfortunately, there were only rankings, genders, names, and colleges on the list. There were no detailed grades. Therefore, nowhere could Lin Beichen find what made Ling Chen so kick-a.s.s that they became the first one of all the Grade Two students in Cloudy Dream City.
“With that name, Ling Chen is actually a woman. The name alone sounds very c.o.c.ky.”
Lin Beichen criticized in the heart.
Someone couldn"t help but want to ask that: The name sounds nice, and it will be the same as yours when you add “Bei” in between. How does it sound c.o.c.ky? You black sheep is clearly biased against her.
He looked down further.
The guy ranked second was called Tao Wancheng, male, also from Royal National Junior College.
