Today, the Liu family was more festive than usual.

Cornell also got up early and put on a military uniform.

Grandma looked at Cornell and scolded with a smile, “Finally willing to wear this outfit today?”

Meanwhile, Clive, who was wearing sportswear, also came down from upstairs.

“This child is getting more and more handsome. When I see him, I think of our stupid son,” grandma said with a slightly sobbing voice.

“Why are you crying? Today is a good day. Don’t make him cry,” Cornell said.

“Yes, yes, yes. Today is an important day for our grandson to participate in the exam.”

“Don’t worry, Grandpa and Grandma. I will definitely achieve a result that you will not expect.”

The three of them walked towards the entrance of the community. As the warmest and most respected elder in the community, Cornell was constantly greeted by people along the way.

“Mr. Cornell, my grandson is taking an exam today.”

“Grandpa is still in good health.”

“Hello, grandpa,” a little girl who passed by said obediently.

“Yo, Old Liu, you’re finally willing to let this outfit out again? I thought you were going to take it all the way to your coffin.”

On the left side of the path, there was another old man who was supported by a sixteen-year-old girl as they walked out of the community.

There was a saying that you could never be friends with everyone.

Even money could be said to be uninteresting, let alone people?

The old man who spoke, Eugene, had always been on bad terms with Cornell.

The reason was that before Cornell came to the community, he had always been an old scoundrel.

With his age, he was taking advantage of his seniority in the community. Not only did he like to take advantage of others, but he also did not dare to be shameless. Even when the young man got married, he had to run over and peep at the bride taking a bath.

In the end, when he was discovered, no one dared to hit him because of his age.

However, the first week after Cornell came, he was taught a lesson.

After that, whenever the neighborhood encountered Eugene who started to act like a hooligan, they would call Cornell to help.

After a while, the hatred between the two became deeper and deeper.

“I heard that your precious grandson hasn’t been going to school for a while, and you still want to get a good result?”

“Let me tell you, my granddaughter got first place in the last exam room.”

Cornell and Clive ignored him and walked out of the neighborhood.

At the entrance of the neighborhood, a bus had already been parked, and each candidate brought a parent to visit.

Clive and Cornell got on the bus.

After the Great Cataclysm, the exam focused on reality. Unless it was a scientific research route, the written exam results would only be used as a reference when the actual test scores were the same.

And the test venue for the actual test was the dynamometers placed in the major dojos in the city.

To these dojos, dynamometers were meant to be beaten up. It was not a fight for anyone, so why not do some publicity while they were at it.

Moreover, it would be even better if they could attract more passers-by to their dojos to practice.

The car stopped in front of a dojo called Heaven and Earth.

After the Great Cataclysm, the most profitable business was related to practicing martial arts.

Among them, the big dojos were the ones whose ability to attract money was second only to firearms.

A 30-story building was completely booked by the dojos.

When they entered the hall, the reflected light from the marble floor could even see the hair in the reflection.

A waitress in overalls motioned to the people who had entered.

Soon, the staff separated the group of students who had come to take the test from their parents. They arranged them into small rooms one by one.

Because the rooms were limited, the test was conducted in batches of ten.

Many parents waited outside the hall, looking at the lights on the top of each room.

If the lights were green, it meant that she could enter no. 3 to no. 6 High School. If the lights were yellow, it meant that she had passed the selection criteria of no. 2 high school.

If the lights were purple, it meant that she had passed the examination of no. 1 high school.

However, the examination this time was not simple. As the world after the Great Cataclysm, educational resources were very scarce. Even the worst high school was a dragon and phoenix among people.

There were six groups of sixty people in the exam, but only one person lit up the green light. The others were all eliminated.

Many students who were eliminated walked out of the room with sad faces. Some even began to cry on the spot.

“The reality is cruel,” Cornell could not help but sigh.

At this time, Eugene’s teasing voice came from the side, “Your grandson is going to take the exam soon? Can he really pass? If he doesn’t have that ability, then don’t hang in there and take the exam.”

Cornell looked at him disdainfully and said, “My grandson can’t do it, but your granddaughter can?”

“Of course. Let me tell you in secret. Before coming here, my granddaughter had already been tested. Her punch was 950 kilograms and was just a little bit away from breaking through to become a Fighter.”

“Hmph.” Cornell snorted and ignored him.

Seeing his granddaughter enter the test room, Eugene was nervous and did not say anything. Instead, she stared at the lights on the door.

After ten minutes, the lights started to light up, but they were all red lights that represented elimination.

1196 eliminated.

1197 eliminated.

…

1199 eliminated.

“Go for it, granddaughter! Ah! Show your strength!”

Looking at the red lights that lit up all the way, Eugene’s forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

At this moment, the 1200 yellow light lit up.

It meant that he could choose the second middle school’s yellow light.

Eugene was so excited that he almost jumped up, his face flushed.

Eugene, who had calmed down a little, turned to look at Cornell. “Aiya, I’ll just ask my granddaughter to perform normally. If she can go to high school, she’ll be my good granddaughter, but she won’t listen to me. She has to use all her strength. Isn’t she being envied?”

His words also attracted the envious gazes of many people.

Zhengyang City’s Second High School.

Many Zhengyang people dreamed of attending the school. As long as they stepped into the school gate and successfully graduated, they could at least become an officer.

Not only did they have the state’s subsidy every month, but they also had all kinds of social privileges.

“Congratulations, Eugene.”

“Eugene, when will you come to our house for dinner next time? I just bought a bottle of good wine recently.”

“Of course, of course.” Eugene’s face was rosy as she enjoyed the compliments from the people around her.

The people who hated him in the neighborhood could not help but want to get along well with him. Who asked him to have such a promising granddaughter?

Cornell only smiled at Eugene’s words and did not seem to care..
