The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot-Chapter 882 - 689: People protected by Sage Academy, Tremble! [2 updates]
Chapter 882: 689: People protected by Sage Academy, Tremble! [2 updates]
The rigor of the scoring system is well understood by Dean Norman.
Instructors have also undergone similar assessments for their teaching.
The highest score attained by Mo Feng, the leading instructor of the Engineering Institute, was only 98 points.
Even Dean Norman himself has crafted equipment specifically for the scoring system.
The final score was 99.9.
Dean Norman meticulously examined the demerit details.
The 0.1 points were deducted because if one component he installed had been moved 0.1mm to the left, the equipment’s efficiency would have been better.
However, humans are not machines and cannot achieve zero error.
Scoring 100 points proves that this student’s calculation ability is extraordinarily strong.
Almost comparable to a large computer!
Talent, an unparalleled talent.
Born to study mechanical and aerospace engineering.
Dean Norman tried to keep calm, took a deep breath, and immediately contacted Sinai.
But he did not hold much hope.
Since Sinai’s disappearance, their occasional communication has been online.
Most of the time Sinai initiated contact; Norman had never succeeded in reaching Sinai first.
But this time, Sinai surprisingly responded quickly.
[Sinai]: Teacher, delete her transcript; only you can know this, and I only trust you.
Dean Norman’s expression became solemn.
The predecessor of the Biogenetics Institute was the Alchemy Institute, under the direct supervision of the Sage Magician and Sage Priestess.
The Engineering Institute was established after industrial technology advancement and is not directly supervised by the Sage Academy.
Dean Norman did not know what happened to Sinai.
But he could be sure it was related to the Sage Academy.
Otherwise, who would dare act against a direct lineage member of the Leaangle Family?
Additionally, Sinai was an SS researcher with a very high status.
Without the slightest hesitation, Dean Norman erased Ying Zijin’s transcript from the system completely.
He then used his privileges to fabricate a fake transcript, changing Ying Zijin’s score to 88, still the highest in the assessment.
Scores above and below 90 differ greatly.
Because the only two students from the Engineering Institute who scored above 90, one had their memories of the City of the World erased and sent to the Seven Continents and Four Oceans.
The other was forcibly administered alchemical medicine, severely impairing their body and nerves.
Neither result was good.
Dean Norman took a deep breath, controlling his emotions.
[Norman]: No wonder you did not directly recommend her to become an S-level researcher; indeed, I overlooked this.
[Sinai]: I too overlooked this; it was Ah Ying who told me. She is very interested in aerospace technology, hoping for more guidance from you.
[Norman]: Naturally.
A genius like her must be accepted under his mentorship.
Norman pondered and then asked.
[Norman]: Is she your sister? I sense your appearances and intelligence are quite similar; surely, you are family.
Norman waited for a long time but received no reply, curiously sending a "?".
Then a message automatically popped up from the system.
[The master is playing; please inform little AI of any messages, and little AI will convey them once the master returns =3=]
Dean Norman: "..."
A teacher teaching a disciple who’s driving him to the brink.
**
The specific assessment scores are never publicly disclosed, only a report is posted, ranking by name.
The consequence of advanced technology means that scores are instantly available right after the assessment, giving no time to react.
This time, the total number of participants reached fifty thousand, with only two thousand plus admitted to each major institute.
As two major institutes, the Biogenetics Institute admitted thirty-seven students while the Engineering Institute admitted thirty.
The students gathered around the announcement screen to check.
Tian Yan was also present.
After being expelled from the Leaangle Family by Bier, Tian Yan had been having a tough time for the past two days.
Fortunately, Bier did not often stay at the research institute, and the other students, unaware of the events, continued to fawn over her.
This provided some consolation to Tian Yan, but she still harbored resentment.
She indeed did not know that Bier had such a young aunt, only a few years older than them.
The noise around the announcement screen was lively, with exclamations ringing out repeatedly.
"Wow, the top scorer in the Engineering Institute is a beginner student?"
"Ying Zijin, isn’t she the girl who took down those students from the Genetics Institute the other day? Incredible, finally someone put them in their place, well done!"
Unless protected by an instructor or family influence, matters between students were rarely intervened by the instructors.
Survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle.
This is the rule of the City of the World.
"Perhaps she was hiding her strength; who says higher-level students are necessarily better than beginner students? The only difference is the time of entry into the institute."
Listening closely, Tian Yan’s smile froze.
In disbelief, she rushed forward, forcefully pushing the people in front of her: "What did you say?"
Ying Zijin didn’t get disqualified for cheating, wasn’t sent to the Genetics Institute as a test subject, and even got first place in the Engineering Institute’s exam?!
How is that possible?
The other trainees glanced at her curiously and stepped aside.
Tian Yan looked up.
At the top of the announcement screen, there were two names side by side.
Ying Zijin, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Institute.
Lan En, Biogenetics Institute.
Tian Yan could not believe her eyes.
She had clearly confirmed she had uploaded the blueprints into Ying Zijin’s lab platform, how could nothing have happened?
Tian Yan grit her teeth and turned to head towards the exam room.
Before she reached the door, a voice sounded.
Cool and calm.
"You uploaded the blueprints into my lab platform."
The girl looked up, her phoenix eyes as cold as snow, piercing straight to the heart.
As if she had seen through everything.
"What did you say?" Tian Yan’s expression changed slightly, feigning composure, "I have no idea what blueprints you’re talking about."
Ying Zijin took out her phone.
A 3D projection displayed a blueprint.
It was exactly the one Tian Yan had put in.
"Ha, so you do have the blueprints!" Tian Yan jumped up, "I’m going to report you, I don’t know how you managed to get past the invigilators."
"If you dare present this evidence, you’re finished!"
She couldn’t believe a novice trainee like Ying Zijin could achieve first place.
Reducing high-level trainees to mere decorations?
Tian Yan let out a cold laugh and turned to leave.
Ying Zijin raised her eyebrow but didn’t stop her.
"Ah Ying, congratulations!" Bing Lan ran over, "Let’s celebrate your acceptance into the Engineering Institute. Shall we go eat?"
Ying Zijin nodded: "Let’s go to the snack street across the street."
"Okay." Bing Lan glanced at her phone, "Ah Ying, have you opened a live streaming account? I’ll follow you—will I be your first follower?"
Ying Zijin: "...No."
Her first follower was Fu Yunshen, the second was Sinai, and the third was Yu Xuesheng.
She opened the live streaming account to contact Norton.
Norton knew some of her working styles.
Ying Zijin specifically entered Norton’s photo into the search box but did not find a matching result.
With so many users on W Net, even Sages sometimes use it.
"Oh." Bing Lan didn’t mind, "It’s okay, I’ll be the fourth then."
She started browsing Ying Zijin’s profile and saw a newly posted comment.
[Why did you delete my comment? You must be Miss Bier. Why don’t you reply to me? You’re guilty! If you weren’t, why do you resemble Miss Bier so much?]
Bing Lan frowned and replied.
[Go get your brain treated if you’re sick! She isn’t!]
"Crazy." Bing Lan complained. "Not replying means you’re guilty?
"It’s just online stuff. If you care, you lose." Ying Zijin yawned, "Let’s go."
Bing Lan nodded and was about to leave.
At that moment, an alarm sounded.
[Warning! Warning! All trainees please note!]
[There is an issue in the laboratory. No one is allowed to leave the research institute. The Hacker Alliance has been called for a personal inspection.]
Bing Lan froze, "The Hacker Alliance is coming personally?"
Ying Zijin stopped walking, squinting slightly.
Ahead, Tian Yan had returned.
She crossed her arms, looking contemptuous, "Just you wait."
She had just gone to the invigilator’s office and was informed that the research institute had contacted hackers from the Hacker Alliance to personally inspect the lab platform.
Ying Zijin’s computer skills couldn’t possibly be better than those of the Hacker Alliance’s hackers.
Not only were the Hacker Alliance members there, but Dean Norman and a group of instructors were also alarmed and had arrived at the exam room.
The invigilator respectfully said, "Your Excellency, this is the lab platform. We suspect someone maliciously attacked W Net and helped a trainee cheat."
As he said this, he coldly glanced at Ying Zijin, the implication clear.
"Our alliance leader has assigned the young master to handle this." The steward smiled, "Dean and everyone else, please rest assured. The young master is a genius; he could block the alliance leader’s virus attacks even before receiving training."
Everyone was stunned.
At this moment, a young man walked in from outside.
Ying Zijin turned and saw the face of the Hacker Alliance’s young master: "..."
Impressive.
