Giving the Whole Audience a Little Gold Label Shock!

Chapter 38: A Little Gold Label Shock for the Whole Room!

Lin Yi followed the sound and looked over.

These examinees from Mianchang No. 1 High School were all slumped in their seats, turning their heads to stare at Jiangcheng No. 2 High School's Class Eight like they were watching monkeys at a zoo.

Under the influence of the All-Knowing Eye, Lin Yi could see their levels clearly.

Most of them were Level 20.

A small portion had reached Level 21.

A few of the stronger ones were even at Level 23.

Lin Yi suddenly recalled a lesson from his Great Xia humanities and geography class.

Across all of Great Xia, Dongjiang Province ranked among the top provinces nationwide in education and economic strength.

Cities like Tianhai, Lishui, and Xiling were all Level 2 Base Cities.

But the distribution of education and economy within Dongjiang Province was extremely uneven.

The regions rich in resources and education were mostly concentrated in Level 2 and Level 3 Base Cities.

As for the remaining Level 4 Base Cities, their facilities and education levels started to become inconsistent.

By the time you got to a heavily marginalized Level 5 Base City like Jiangcheng, it was even more pitiful.

That was why Lin Yi found that some of his classmates were as low as Level 12.

Meanwhile, these examinees from the Level 3 Base City of Mianchang had a minimum level of 19.

In terms of average level—

If Lin Yi put himself in their shoes, he could see why they'd find it amusing that people in the back of the carriage were shocked by Level 20.

Hearing the mockery from the Mianchang No. 1 examinees, the entire Jiangcheng No. 2 High School Class Eight fell silent.

It wasn't exactly inferiority.

But the sheer gap in strength made them feel embarrassed.

The most embarrassed of all was Zhang Shan.

The whole thing had started because of his overreaction.

Seeing Class Eight's students stay quiet, the Mianchang No. 1 students only got worse.

The nearest student grinned cheekily and said, "Hey, you Jiangcheng hicks, I'm Level 20 too. In your place, would I be a big shot?"

"Want to come grovel at my feet?"

"Hahaha!"

"What the hell are you? I'm Level 21—come lick my boots! Haha!"

Zhang Shan's face turned bright red from their taunts.

Rage surged within him.

He wanted to charge up and fight these guys for real.

But Lin Yi pressed a hand on his shoulder and shook his head.

"We're under surveillance now. Forget what the teacher said? Watch your discipline."

"If you start trouble here, you'll get disqualified!"

Lin Yi didn't care about their mockery.

To him, it was like a bunch of stray cats bragging about their hunting skills in front of a tiger.

They weren't even on the same LEVEL—Lin Yi didn't even feel anger.

With no response to their provocations, they gradually lost interest.

One by one, they went back to their own circles and chatted among themselves.

The three-hour special train ride passed quickly.

When the arrival announcement rang out, Lin Yi opened his sleepy eyes and stretched.

For the second half of those three hours, maybe because his classmates had all been silenced—even Zhang Shan had turned red with frustration—he'd slept like a baby.

Getting off the train, shuttle buses for the exam were already lined up outside the station.

Following the numbers and order, Lin Yi and Class Eight boarded a shuttle bus.

Heading straight for the exam venue.

Along the way, Lin Yi noticed that Tianhai City, the capital of Dongjiang Province, was indeed incredibly bustling.

After crossing over to this world where Blue Star's landmass had expanded dozens or even hundreds of times, Lin Yi had never left Jiangcheng.

The farthest he'd gone was to neighboring Canglan City.

But Jiangcheng and Canglan—one was a Level 5 Base City, the other a quasi-Level 4 Base City—weren't much different.

You could call them brothers in misfortune.

Arriving in Tianhai, Lin Yi finally realized that in this world's Great Xia, the construction of prosperous cities was in no way inferior to the Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou of his previous life.

In fact, it surpassed them.

The infrastructure was very complete, and the urban greenery was exceptionally well done.

But correspondingly—

Whether it was the scale of high-end residences or the associated housing prices, both were terrifyingly high.

Along the way, the Tianhai departments responsible for traffic and roads gave the shuttle bus green lights the entire route.

To welcome all the students from Dongjiang Province coming for the National College Entrance Examination, Tianhai had set up a total of 22 exam halls.

With so many halls diverting the crowd, when the shuttle bus carrying Lin Yi arrived at the exam hall, he still saw an incredibly spectacular scene.

Whether by coincidence or not, Lin Yi's test site happened to be Exam Hall No. 1.

After countless shuttle buses parked in the lot, all the examinees got off, lined up in order, and when they reached the large square outside Exam Hall No. 1, they saw a sea of people.

This time, there were no accompanying family members—only examinees.

Just one exam hall alone probably had forty to fifty thousand candidates!

With Lin Yi's batch of shuttles arriving, the examinees of Exam Hall No. 1 were basically all in place.

Outside the hall, an announcement rang out—

"Attention, all examinees!!"

"The 3024 National Unified Recruitment Examination for Higher Vocational Institutions is about to begin!"

"This hall is Dongjiang Province's Exam Hall No. 1. Please line up in order and pass through the first Smart Gate outside the hall one by one!"

"After passing through the gate, the sensors above will automatically screen your class and level, and mark you accordingly."

"This exam will provide difficulty options corresponding to each examinee's level range."

"The higher the difficulty, the more points you can earn after passing each round of tests."

"Examinees in the level range of 1 to 15 will receive a White Label and can only choose Easy difficulty."

"Examinees in the level range of 16 to 20 will receive a Green Label and can choose Easy or Normal difficulty."

"Examinees in the level range of 21 to 23 will receive a Blue Label and can choose Normal or Hard difficulty."

"Examinees in the level range of 24 to 25 will receive a Purple Label and can choose Normal, Hard, or Extreme difficulty."

"Examinees above level 25 will receive a Golden Label and can choose Normal, Hard, Extreme, or Nightmare difficulty!"

It seemed the exam details Zhang Shan's father had leaked earlier were accurate.

They really did split difficulty ranges to screen examinees in advance.

If your level wasn't high enough, you couldn't pick a higher difficulty.

Naturally, you couldn't get more points.

So in this exam, your ranking would inevitably fall behind those who chose high difficulties and cleared the tests.

So cutthroat...

No wonder back when they awakened their classes, both the teachers and the media were hyped up like they'd been injected with adrenaline.

In this environment where everyone was frantically competing, not getting hyped and grinding hard would indeed leave you far behind.

As the entry process proceeded, a massive number of examinees lined up and passed through the gate.

Lin Yi also saw the Class 8 examinees walking ahead of him.

Take Zhang Shan, that big dumb oaf.

After he walked through the gate, above his head first appeared the test site location, which was Jiangcheng.

Behind it came a warhammer icon and a white star label.

Then, all examinees who got a White Label like him were directed by the assistant examiners inside the hall to the corresponding exam entrance.

After so many years of college entrance exams, this process was incredibly smart and natural.

If it were manual screening, who knew how much time it would take.

"Tsk tsk, so much white and green, haha!"

A burst of laughter rang out.

Lin Yi once again saw the group of students from Mianchang No. 1 High School.

They had just passed through the gate now.

Most people had blue star marks above their heads.

The few with purple star marks looked at Zhang Shan and the others as if they were livestock.

Lin Yi looked at the gate before him, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

It was time to give the tens of thousands in this exam hall a little shock from a Gold Label!
