The next morning, Lin Mo went out after washing up and headed to school. On the familiar street, the topic of discussion of every pedestrian could not be separated from the student recruitment meeting.

The entrance of the Second Middle School was already crowded with all kinds of luxury cars. Meanwhile, the reporters from Northern City had already arrived at the scene. For a moment, All the television stations in Northern City were broadcasting the student recruitment meet live.

“Everyone might not have heard of the first place in the college entrance examination of the Northern City of the Dragon Country this year.”

“His name is Lin Mo, and he’s the top scorer with an SSS-rank evaluation!”

“He’s a student from Northern City’s No. 2 Middle School’s Class 5.”

“What’s unbelievable is that Lin Mo’s awakened talent is actually not ideal. It’s only Black Iron Rank!”

“The second place is Lu Ming, a student from Northern City’s No.1 High School. He has a Platinum-level talent and obtained an S-rank score in this college entrance examination…”

The reporters were broadcasting live at the entrance of the Second Middle School.

Lin Mo happened to pass by. Hearing those words, Lin Mo smiled helplessly and walked into the campus. With the announcement of the results, the people watching the live broadcast at home almost thought that they had come to a prank TV show.

The headlines of all the major newspapers were all about Lin Mo. Furthermore, he had already been ridiculed as the most motivating job-holder on the internet!

Black Iron Rank became the top scorer? What could be more inspiring for other professionals than this?

In the school office, Xu Xin was extremely excited. It was as if he was the student who had gotten the top scorer.

“Is the principal back yet?”

“Not yet.”

“Then he will definitely be shocked when he comes back.” “Lin Mo is the first top scorer in our No. 2 Middle School to get an SSS grade in the college entrance examination!” Xu Xin stood up and laughed.

The teachers present cast envious looks at Li Mei. To be able to teach a top scholar not only would she be able to get a generous year-end, but would also get more hidden benefits.

Li Mei, who had just recovered from a serious illness, noticed everyone’s burning gazes and felt a little embarrassed.

At the same time, Lin Mo had already arrived at the waiting area. He looked around at the busy people in boredom.

The Year 1 and 2 students were leaning against the outer railing. When they saw Lin Mo, they were instantly excited.

“That’s Lin Mo?!”

“It shouldn’t be too late to ask for an autograph now, right?”

“He’s also a little handsome.”

“…..”

Their words had no effect on Lin Mo, and he was quickly chased away by the teacher on duty.

After receiving congratulations from the teachers, Li Mei found Lin Mo.

“Lin Mo, how are you feeling?”

“It’s alright.”

“Mrs. Li, do you think there will be a problem?” Lin Mo rubbed the back of his neck and smiled bitterly.

“What’s the problem?” Li Mei said calmly, ” Every year, the top scorer only gets an SS grade. You’ve already won against them too much. You have to have confidence in yourself! ”

“I understand.” Lin Mo smiled.

However, there was no smoke without fire. There was already news.

Top universities had extremely high requirements for talent. For example, a few days ago, a student had awakened a platinum-level talent, but the results of the college entrance examination were abnormally poor. He only got a B-level score. However, even so, it was still a target for top universities.

Rating…Perhaps in the eyes of the top universities, talent was not as important.

“Prepare well. You’ll be too worried.” Li Mei patted Lin Mo’s shoulder before finally revealing his intentions, “The school will give you a scholarship of one million yuan for your college entrance examination results. Lin Mo, you have to make good use of this opportunity!”

“One million yuan scholarship?!” Lin Mo was stunned.

In the past, the scholarship for first place in the school was only 100,000 yuan. This year, it had actually increased tenfold!

“You got an SSS-rank score that shocked the vice-principal. One million isn’t too much. ” ” You deserve all this, ” Li Mei encouraged. ” It’ll be in your account tonight.”

Happiness came too suddenly. Lin Mo did not expect to suddenly have a million yuan in savings.

After Li Mei came to tell him the good news, she went to the school gate to prepare to welcome the recruitment staff.

Lu Bu also arrived at school early. Coincidentally, he bumped into Lin Mo and recalled the grievances and anger she felt yesterday.

“I’m not a gentleman if I don’t take revenge!” Lu Bu’s tone was filled with anger. It was obvious that he had been scolded by his family for the entire night because he had lost 500,000 gold coins.

Lin Mo smiled and shrugged, not paying too much attention to it.

Lu Bu was angry and indignant, but he could not say a word after holding it in for a long time. In the end, he could only stomp his feet and leave angrily.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Very soon, official cars arrived at the school gate one after another, attracting the attention of countless people.

Third-rate universities, second-rate universities, first-rate universities, and top-rate universities were all gathered together. This was a grand scene that could only be seen once a year!

In previous years, the recruitment meeting would be held in the school where the top scorer was. Because of Lin Mo this year, all the college entrance examination students in the city naturally gathered at the Second Middle School.

Vice Principal Xu Xin led the teachers and personally welcomed the recruitment staff from all over the country. Then, he brought them to the venue that had been set up earlier.

Third-rate universities did not have the initiative in selecting students. They had to wait until the higher-level universities had finished selecting students before they were qualified to compete.

In this world, strength spoke. This was the case even when the academies were snatching rare resources like students.

There were more than 20 recruitment schools in Northern City this time, and most of them were third-rate. What Xu Xin paid the most attention to was undoubtedly the three top universities of the Dragon Country, the Heavenly Star Academy, the North Deep Academy, and the Legendary Academy!

With Lin Mo’s score, entering any one of the three wasn’t a problem at all!

At this moment, Lin Mo was sitting alone in a corner, looking forward to the upcoming enrollment.

The strongest of the three top-notch academies was none other than the Heavenly Star Academy! The next was the Beiming Academy, and the last was the Legendary Academy.

The biggest difference between the three top universities was probably the resources they provided to their students. The forces behind the Heavenly Star Academy were rich and powerful. They controlled all the large and small chambers of commerce in the country. They used this opportunity to rise up 20 years ago and surpass the number one legendary academy at that time.

The Legendary Academy had not fallen behind by too much, but because of an unforeseen event fifteen years ago. It resulted in the tragic sacrifice of countless teachers and students. From then on, it didn’t flourish.

Not many people knew the details of that incident. Lin Mo only knew that a war god from the Legend Academy had also died.

The title of War God was the top title in the Dragon Country. Only those who had made countless military achievements and obtained the approval of the Supreme Council could obtain it. There were only five such experts in the entire Dragon Country!

All the students in Northern City looked up to any of the top universities. However, according to the annual tradition, the three universities would only take away the most outstanding students. There were even a few years where not a single student from Northern City was selected.
