"Of course, Chen Xuewei has always been our pride."
The one speaking was Li Weiyang, Chen Xuewei's mother.
She was wearing a royal blue silk qipao, its luster flowing like water, accentuating her graceful figure. Her hair was meticulously combed into a low bun, revealing her smooth forehead and elegant neckline.
Around her neck hung a string of vibrant green jade, and her earlobes were adorned with matching cabochon earrings, the entire set exuding a warm, expensive glow.
A smile played on her lips, her eyes carrying just the right amount of reserve and pride.
"With our Xuewei scoring so well this time, that matter regarding the Zone 1 quota..."
Li Weiyang looked at her husband, her eyes filled with inquiry.
Chen Runse gently rubbed the rim of his teacup with his fingertips. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke slowly.
"Given Xuewei's results this time, as long as we put in a little effort, that Zone 1 quota will definitely be hers."
Having said this, Chen Zhihao suddenly paused, his brows furrowing slightly as he looked at the report card in his hand.
"Before the exam, didn't I instruct you to have Xuewei team up with that boy from the Shen Family? Why are these two in different teams?"
Upon hearing this, Li Weiyang was taken aback. She hurried forward and took the report card from Chen Zhihao's hand.
As she scanned it, she asked in confusion, "They aren't together? I specifically instructed Xuewei before the exam."
Li Weiyang carefully scanned the report card in her hand. The first-place team indeed did not contain the name of the young master from the Shen Family, but it did feature a name that filled her with extreme disgust.
"Xiao Fan! How could he be on a team with Xuewei!"
Li Weiyang's voice was sharp, completely devoid of her previous elegant and gentle demeanor.
"Xiao Fan? Who is he?"
Chen Zhihao frowned, feeling the name was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.
"Have you forgotten? He's the nephew of that servant who once tried to cling to our Xuewei!" Li Weiyang said through gritted teeth.
Once she said that, Chen Zhihao remembered.
Back then, their daughter Chen Xuewei was young and not only made friends with a servant's nephew, but even argued with them because of him. He had been so angry at the time that he sent people to beat that servant up.
"That brat is truly like a ghost that won't go away. Because of my negligence, I let him get close to Xuewei when they were young. So much time has passed, and he's still clinging to our Xuewei. If I had known, I should have driven that whole family out of Sea City back then!"
Li Weiyang looked at the glaring name on the list and suddenly thought of an idea.
"Old Chen, can we swap this Xiao Fan's results and assign him to the District 18 Novice Village?" A trace of malice flashed across Li Weiyang's face.
Currently, the Dragon Nation has established eighteen Novice Villages in Cloud Sea, and the resources, facilities, and environment of each one are different.
The District 1 Novice Village possesses the top-tier resources, while the District 18 Novice Village is the worst of them all; there, one's safety isn't even guaranteed.
Although it was impossible for Xiao Fan to enter the District 1 Novice Village like their daughter Chen Xuewei, ever.
However.
She wanted to cast this person who was pestering her daughter into the abyss forever!
She wanted him to never be able to turn his life around!
It would be best if he died in the District 18 Novice Village!
Chen Zhihao was silent for a moment, his tone hesitant: "Although the domestic situation is a bit chaotic right now, the authorities still attach great importance to the college entrance exam. At the end of the day, the nation values players with potential now. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to change the results."
Hearing this, Li Weiyang let out a cold snort.
"That Xiao Fan is just a servant's nephew. He probably won't even be able to learn a single Mystic Rank skill in his life. What kind of potential could he have? He only got first place in the exam because he rode on Xuewei's coattails. Even if we change his results, what could he possibly do? Is our Chen Family afraid of him?"
Chen Zhihao thought about it carefully and felt that his wife made sense.
Besides, with their daughter Chen Xuewei's talent, she might have the chance to become a top player on the Leaderboard in the future. She will meet even more outstanding people and lead their Chen Family to a higher status.
Someone like Xiao Fan is only fit to be a servant, just like his uncle.
"I'll handle this matter." Chen Zhihao's expression was somber.
There is no such thing as filling out preferences for the college entrance exam on Blue Star; Novice Villages are assigned entirely based on the ranking of the exam results.
Fifteen days after the college entrance exam ends, the admission letters will be issued one after another.
Xiao Fan has been surfing the internet at home these past few days, and he has already gained a comprehensive understanding of the game Cloud Sea.
After Uncle Xiao Yi was discharged from the hospital, he couldn't even rest before going out to work, and Aunt Liu Xiujuan also found a part-time job.
Xiao Fan felt a bit heartbroken for them. Although he wasn't the original owner of this body, he had truly felt the warmth from his relatives these past few days and had truly integrated into this family.
He still had 630 Core Power in the game, but this Core Power could only be exchanged for currency once he entered a Novice Village.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan couldn't wait to receive his admission letter and enter Cloud Sea once again.
He checked online and found that with his results, there was no problem at all with getting into the Zone 2 Novice Village.
"Once I enter the game, I must find a way to make money to improve the family's situation."
At this moment, Xiao Fan noticed that Fatty had updated his social media feed.
He opened it to find an admission letter for Zone 2 of the Novice Village.
The caption read, "Fatty has been admitted to Zone 2!"
Immediately after, he saw the social media posts of Zhang Yuanyuan and Zhang Chao; they had also received admission letters for Zone 2.
It seems the admission letters arrived today, Xiao Fan thought, unable to suppress his excitement.
However, even when Uncle and Aunt returned home from work that evening, Xiao Fan still hadn't received an admission letter.
Maybe it will arrive tomorrow.
Xiao Fan didn't think much of it.
Then, five days passed, and Xiao Fan still hadn't received his admission letter.
The distribution of admission letters was based on the zones, with higher-ranked zones being sent out earlier.
Seeing classmates on social media already showing off their admission letters for Zone 15, Xiao Fan realized something was wrong.
At dinner time.
When Uncle Xiao Yi learned that Xiao Fan still hadn't received his admission letter today, he felt even more guilty.
Since the college entrance exam, Xiao Fan had never mentioned his scores.
Xiao Yi assumed it was because he didn't have the money to buy Xiao Fan a novice weapon, which caused Xiao Fan to perform poorly on the exam.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was heavy; Xiao Fan kept his head down in silence, and after finishing his meal, he greeted them and returned to his room.
After a long while, Xiao Yi sighed.
"Sigh, it's all my fault. If I hadn't spent so much money on my hospital stay, Xiao Fan wouldn't have done so poorly due to lacking a novice weapon."
Liu Xiujuan set down her bowl and chopsticks, watching Xiao Fan's retreating figure. Although her heart ached, she still tried to comfort her husband.
"Brother Yi, don't think like that. We really had no choice."
Silence returned to the dinner table.
Xiao Yi looked out the window, a certain resolve forming in his heart.
Today was the final day for admission letters to be issued, and Xiao Fan finally received his.
It clearly stated: Zone 18 of the Novice Village.
"How could it be Zone 18? We all tied for first place. Fatty and the others received admission letters for Zone 2, so how could I be in Zone 18?"
"The school must have made a mistake."
