Chapter 48
: Class Assignment
"Holy crap, you're number one in Seven Towers, bro! It's like a dream. Charlie dropped to fifth, hahaha. His cautious and careful look in the last two levels was hilarious, like he had something to hide. It cracked me up."
"I never expected to get third place in the end. I have to go tell Qin Xue the good news."
At 10:30 a.m., at the entrance of the Seventh Tower, Hu Tu kept laughing and chattering, "They say the final rankings will be released at noon, and then we'll be assigned to classes. I'm so looking forward to it, hahaha."
Behind them, Charlie, his face ashen, clenched his fist and slammed it hard against the doorframe: "Qiao Yuan, you're finished! You...you actually made me drop to fifth place!"
Unfortunately, the door frame was hard, and when he punched it, he gasped in pain, wincing in agony.
It's strangely festive.
Lu Qiuhai had good luck and managed to secure second place after a hard-fought battle. This gave him a sense of self-consolation as a beneficiary, and he coughed and chuckled, "Hmph, if it weren't for someone interfering, I would definitely have been in first place."
Jiang Wan ranked fourth, Meng Ziming ranked sixth, and Finn was overtaken by Ye Yutang.
Meng Ziming and Finn's faces were extremely ugly at this moment. The one who laughed the loudest was Ye Yutang, a carefree and outgoing girl with khaki pigtails and deep blue eyes that clearly indicated she was of mixed race, exuding exotic charm.
"Tsk tsk, you're so awful, little curly-haired girl."
Finn gritted his teeth slightly, glared at Ye Yutang, and said, "Do you know how annoying you are?"
After saying that, he left.
"Tch!" Ye Yutang snorted and made a face.
Qiao Yuan smiled at Hu Tu, ignoring all the commotion. He immediately retrieved his Demon Substitute Ring, his phone, and his jetpack.
At this point, the semi-final of the Silver Moon Golden Ball Cup is almost over, and the 3 yuan will be credited to my account soon.
He breathed in the air of the campus, which carried the fragrance of earth and flowers, and felt a sense of joy.
The finals are in three days, and he's going to make a killing then!
It seems they came out of the seventh tower a bit late, but it doesn't matter. He won with the first place in each batch, so whether it's the credit score increase or the ranking and class placement, it won't be bad.
He then saw Yan Baobao in the distance, surrounded by several middle-aged men who looked like teachers, already attracting the attention of many students.
Gu Qingshan, on the other hand, had a gloomy expression and walked away in silence, probably because he hadn't won first place.
In addition, there were many other geniuses whose names Qiao Yuan couldn't even recall, each of whom was incredibly successful and received visits from various teachers.
Two people also appeared on his side.
Leading the way was a young female teacher, whose white shirt was undone at the top button by her impressive bust, and beneath her long, wavy blonde hair was a delicate Western face with a high nose, making her look incredibly charming.
The blonde female teacher smiled and said, "I am Daisy, the teacher of astronomy. Qiao Yuan is really excellent. Looking at the 20 towers, you are the only student who has won the top spot with a first-level solo achievement. Your potential is not much different from your sister's."
Qiao Yuan pursed his lips indifferently and said, "Teacher, you flatter me. It's all thanks to their argument."
"You're so modest, kid," Daisy said, biting her red lips and whispering in his ear, "There are many outstanding geniuses this year, and the competition to get into the Galaxy Class is fierce, but getting into the Big Dipper Class is still a sure thing."
Qiao Yuan frowned slightly as he listened, sensing that there was something more to the conversation, something implying something. However, he could appreciate Daisy's kindness and immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Daisy. Actually, I don't know anything about the Galaxy Class or the Big Dipper Class."
"It's normal not to understand," Daisy pointed to his phone. "You can find everything on the campus network. If you encounter any problems at school, feel free to contact me anytime."
"Oh, and also, you can't just use that demon ring from the dark side of your hand carelessly at school. Also, the contract you signed with the Ember Bureau of Joyful Continent has been synchronized to the main city."
Qiao Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ms. Daisy, I know everything."
With a beep, he received a text message from Ms. Daisy on his phone.
The young male teacher in the white suit next to him smiled and said, "Don't overthink it. As long as you meet the requirements later, you can enter the Galaxy Class at any time."
Qiao Yuan nodded slightly.
Daisy and the male teacher in the white suit then explained the next arrangements to students such as Hu Tu, Lu Qiuhai, Ye Yutang, and Charlie.
Hu Tu's face turned bright red. Daisy's ample bosom made him feel extremely awkward, and he even scratched his toes on the ground.
He now greatly admires Qiao Yuan, who seems to be able to throw himself into a life of debauchery without batting an eye.
Charlie, standing nearby, was so angry he almost vomited blood. The honor of being number one was clearly his, and the special treatment he received from Ms. Daisy was also his!
But now, even though Ms. Daisy is right next to him and talking, he has clearly become an inconspicuous ordinary student among the masses.
Most importantly, being ranked fifth in the seventh tower means the Galaxy Class definitely won't get in!
That's the Galaxy Class!
Charlie bit his lip; he had never hated anyone so much, and his pride had been severely wounded.
I can't stand it, I absolutely can't stand it! I have to win it back, I absolutely must win it back!
At the same time, Yan Baobao walked over with a bottle of magic potion in her hand.
"You actually got first place in the Seven Towers!"
Even though she had lived with Qiao Yuan since childhood, she was still somewhat surprised by today's ranking.
"Surprised, huh? Hehe." Qiao Yuan said smugly, "Just as I expected, the baby won't lose to anyone."
Yan Baobao's eyes sparkled, and she said coquettishly, "As expected of my little brother, but it's okay if you go to the regular class, your big sister will protect you."
"Tch!" Qiao Yuan's lips twitched. "He's only two months older than me, you brat."
"Hmph, even if you're a day older, you're still the older sister!"
Qiao Yuan shrugged helplessly, then smiled unconsciously. In fact, back in the orphanage, he had already noticed that Yan Baobao was very attached to the relationship between her and her brother.
Or perhaps the baby really enjoys being a big sister.
But he never asked. Everyone has their own little secrets or preferences.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Qiao Yuan, you're not allowed to laugh!"
Seeing this, Qiao Yuan laughed even more unrestrainedly. He looked at the potion bottle in Bao Bao's hand: "Baby is really amazing. You broke through the limit so easily."
"Hmm?" Yan Baobao said proudly, "Professor Ava gave this to me, it saved me a lot of money."
"That's right, I remember a second-tier potion costs around 50,000 to 60,000, the higher the tier, the more expensive it is." Qiao Yuan said, then picked up his phone again: "I'll have 30,000 credited to my account in a bit."
"You've been trading stocks again?"
"Almost there, I'll tell you later," Qiao Yuan pointed to the potion bottle, "Drink it, I'll wait for you."
Yan Baobao hummed in agreement, sat down on the public chair next to her, unscrewed the bottle cap, and drank the light gold potion of the second-tier Heavenly Fate King sequence.
Each level of the Ascension sequence requires consuming the corresponding potion; if you don't excel academically in school, you'll have to buy it yourself.
Prices increase exponentially, reaching hundreds of thousands of yuan per bottle at the third tier.
Different Ascension sequences have different potion prices; popular ones are cheaper, while less popular ones are more expensive.
Yan Baobao seemed to have been quite popular with the boys over there. Seeing her with him now, some students were quite curious, while some boys were rather hostile.
Qiao Yuan was already used to it.
That's how it was in high school; you can only say the baby is just too outstanding.
Since we've already offended all of Charlie's people, a few more won't matter.
He and Hutu are standing next to each other discussing the Galaxy Class and the Beidou Class.
He only learned after logging into the campus network that Galaxy University's classes are divided into three types. The first type is the Galaxy Class, which consists of two classes, named Qian Palace and Kun Palace respectively.
Qian Palace, also known as Tian Palace, is the prestigious name of Galaxy University. It only admits thirty-five students each year, all of whom are geniuses among geniuses and monsters among monsters.
The Kun Palace is also called the Earth Treasury. The word "Treasure" is taken from the meaning of priceless treasure, implying the earth's treasures.
It is a treasure class comparable to the Heavenly Palace, and only accepts forty people each year, all of whom are elite geniuses with amazing talent and unlimited potential.
The second type is the Beidou Class, also known as the Galaxy Class Reserve, which is divided into seven classes, in order: Yaoguang Class, Lieyang Class, Titan Class, Wang Class, Merlin Class, Qinzi Class, and Casey Class.
According to records, the Yaoguang Class was the earliest genius class at Galaxy University, originally established by the first principal, who was known as the Yaoguang Emperor.
Two hundred years later, Galaxy University had more and more geniuses and a greater and greater reputation, so an even more elite Galaxy Class was added to the Yao Guang Class.
The Blazing Sun Class comes from the renowned Blazing Sun Martial God, a god-level cultivator in the Heavenly Mandate Martial Path sequence.
Titan Class is the fourth-generation president of Galaxy University, a mechanical ascendant.
Subsequent classes such as Wang Ban and Qin Zi Ban were named after the surnames or given names of their predecessors.
The founders of each of the seven classes of the Big Dipper are righteous gods who traverse the universe!
Together they form the Heavenly Palace and Earthly Treasury, the Big Dipper, and these nine classes are the absolute face of Galaxy University, the elite of the elite.
The third type is the regular classes, which total more than 430 classes, a huge number.
In addition, there are many other clubs, such as the Light Club, Storm Club, Pilot Club, Destiny Club, Thunder Club, Mechanical Club, Gene Club, Judge Club, Hacker Club, and so on.
They are all named according to different sublimation methods or sequence paths, and each has its own threshold.
At this moment, Hu Tu said with great enthusiasm, "I want to join the hacker club, hehe, are you in?"
"It seems there's no Pioneer Society," Qiao Yuan shook his head, "but there is a Pioneer Research Institute? That should be a circle of professors, people who do scientific research."
"Haha, there must be too few students in the Pioneer Series. Why don't you join the Destiny Club?"
"Yes, that works." Qiao Yuan noted down the address and contact information of the Destiny Society.
At that moment, Yan Baobao slowly opened her eyes, and the aura of a second-tier king spread out. Her long pink hair swayed slightly, as if she had broken some kind of restriction. Her strength rose steadily, and she became arrogant and domineering.
The fleeting glint in her eyes gradually faded, and as she raised her hand and clenched her fist, her demeanor became increasingly aloof.
Only when her eyes fell on Qiao Yuan did they soften as if an iceberg were melting.
Qiao Yuan noticed immediately, and he turned around with a smile: "Want to go to the cafeteria?"
Hu Tu congratulated him directly, saying, "Your class monitor has improved so quickly! Hey, let's go, it's my treat today, haha. The ranking is all thanks to Qiao Yuan."
On the way, Yan Baobao instructed Qiao Yuan, "That symbiotic female doctor hasn't been caught yet, so don't go running around lately. I'll catch her."
"Received, Mr. Yan!" Qiao Yuan smiled knowingly.
It seems the Caesar matter will have to be postponed again. Tonight, I'll focus on winning over Dr. Lin Xuan.
They are now following the students ahead, along the road to the left of the tower, to the southeast campus.
Galaxy University was so big that they walked for a quarter of an hour, crossing a lush, green hillside, passing under dense pine trees and dozens of silver-white glass teaching buildings... and finally saw the vast, azure lake.
Along the way, many students rode on unmanned aerial sightseeing vehicles on campus, while others chose to ride bicycles or use jetpacks.
University is truly different; I remember back in high school, jetpacks weren't allowed on campus.
They are now witnessing the splendor of the freshman campus before them, as if a sudden burst of light has appeared after a long period of darkness. The teaching buildings, over four hundred stories high, are a massive, floating structure with interconnected aerial passageways. And there are the deep blue male and female dormitories, thousands of meters high, resembling twin spiral towers.
There are also sky pools connecting the buildings, with layers of water ripples reflected on the exterior walls of the floors below, forming magnificent light and shadow waves, as if you were in a colorful dream.
Hutu pointed at the lake and exclaimed, "There are several buildings underneath the lake, it's so beautiful!"
Qiao Yuan found the place quite pleasing to the eye, and then said to Hu Tu, "It's really beautiful here. Why don't you stay in the school dormitory? That way you won't have to travel back and forth."
"That won't do," Hu Tu shook his head. "I already agreed with Qin Xue that since we're unfamiliar with the main city, it's better to look out for each other."
"But, cough cough, when we're assigning dorm rooms later, how about we reserve one? We've already paid the tuition, so even if we don't live there, we can at least have a bed to rest at noon."
Qiao Yuan wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right, we can't just pay money for nothing. At least we can take a nap when we don't have classes in the afternoon."
Around 11 a.m., they arrived at the cafeteria on the freshman campus, which was already packed with people.
The cafeteria is extremely spacious, with ten floors, each capable of accommodating 2500 people for a meal.
Because of the large number of students, Galaxy University has separate teaching buildings, dormitories, and canteens for different grades. The four areas—east, west, south, and north—are conveniently located for freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, respectively.
Of course, you can run around freely.
He ordered a lot of meat and milk; the whole ordeal had taken its toll.
In the cafeteria, he also saw two classmates from the next class of the First High School and greeted them.
Yan Baobao was looking at pizzas in the Western food area. Galaxy University's cafeteria has almost everything, and she quickly found the durian pizza.
He first drank half a glass of milk to moisten his throat, then watched the baby take a couple of bites and asked, "Is it good?"
"Hmm, you should try it." Yan Baobao forked a piece of durian pizza and handed it over.
Qiao Yuan's eyes lit up quickly: "It's really good! It's almost the same as the signature durian pizza from King George's Pizza. My baby will be in for a treat at school from now on."
Yan Baobao smiled slightly, her red lips pursed.
Even while eating in the cafeteria, many students showed their affection for Yan Baobao. Some of them were very outgoing and immediately wanted to add her as a friend on Xingcha.
But without exception, they all met with setbacks, and were completely ignored by the baby as if they were air.
Hu Tu muttered to himself, "The food here is plentiful, delicious, and incredibly cheap—only a third of the price in the main city! I feel like I'm going to gain weight again!"
"Oh no, what should we do?"
Qiao Yuan chuckled: "How about we just get liposuction? There's no point in trying anything else."
"Pah! Absolutely not!" Hu Tu rubbed his chubby belly. "I'll go for a run in a bit."
……
Time flew by and it was already midnight.
The ranking of the tallest towers has been released.
He ranked 95th on the list of 20,000 new students, breaking into the top 100, and his credit score increased by 200 points, reaching 420 points in the blink of an eye.
Qiao Yuan and Hu Tu were taking the elevator to the [Yaoguang Class], the first Beidou Class after the two Yinhe Classes, the earliest genius class of Yinhe University, founded by the first principal Yaoguang Emperor, with an extremely long history.
He wasn't particularly upset, after all, Teacher Daisy had just hinted that it was probably because his physique was too weak and he was a lone wolf at the first level.
It doesn't matter.
Oh, the ranking also takes into account the college entrance examination scores.
Normally, if he gets first place in the seventh tower, he should be ranked in the top 20 overall.
The baby was guaranteed a spot in the First Galaxy Class, Tiangong, which wasn't too far away.
Hu Tu frowned and said, "I don't think it has anything to do with your advancement or college entrance exam score. Either most of the spots in the Galaxy Class are already reserved internally."
"Or maybe it's because our seventh tower finished later than the others. Didn't you spend the last few floors waiting for Charlie and the others?"
"Maybe," Qiao Yuan said, not really caring, just feeling sorry that he wouldn't be in the same class as Bao Bao anymore.
Yan Baobao smiled and said, "Qiao Yuan, you've already done a great job. You can get promoted again later."
"Okay!" Qiao Yuan nodded.
Two minutes later, he, Yan Baobao, and Hu Tu arrived at the 472nd floor of the main teaching building for freshmen.
The view here is expansive, with an artificial pond in the middle, about the size of a professional football field. The clear water, only a meter deep, is full of red and white carp, as well as a few bright yellow goldfish.
A winding stone bridge and a white stone pavilion sit on the pond, creating a poetic atmosphere.
The entire Beidou Class 7 is distributed around the perimeter, and there are also indoor basketball courts, tennis courts, a library, holographic capsules, and other recreational facilities.
The two Galaxy Classes are upstairs, on the top floor of the main freshman teaching building. It is said that there is a huge glass dome there, which is particularly beautiful.
After Yan Baobao dropped him off at the entrance of Yaoguang Class, she went upstairs.
When Qiao Yuan entered the classroom, he discovered that he was in the same class as Charlie, and he also saw curly-haired Finn and sickly Meng Ziming... What a coincidence!
What surprised him most was that all twenty or so students in the class had reached the second-tier ascension level, without exception.
Hu Tu was also stunned.
Watching one second-tier student after another walk into the Yaoguang Class, he felt embarrassed for the first time.
This is like entering a den of geniuses.
"Qiao Yuan!!"
The blond Charlie, who had barely sat down and hadn't even warmed his seat, suddenly stood up and laughed loudly at him, "I knew you were a fraud! Sure enough, a guy like you doesn't deserve to be in the Galaxy Class."
"Likewise," Qiao Yuan yawned lazily and casually found a seat to sit down.
Charlie was instantly enraged: "Bullshit! It's all your fault, you little beast! As a second-tier awakened being, I should be in the Galaxy Class even if I were lying down!"
"Are you a performer?" Qiao Yuan chuckled slightly. "You're always spewing this incompetent rage."
"You!" Charlie was speechless for a moment.
After a morning of frustration, Meng Ziming finally let out a cold laugh: "Oh, isn't this Qiao Yuan, the number one student in the Seven Towers? You should at least be in the top 20, why would you condescend to come to our Yaoguang Class?"
Although there were a few "familiar faces" in Yaoguang's class, most students did not know the specifics. At this moment, several boys and girls were quite surprised after checking the rankings.
They were all curious that Qiao Yuan could enter the first class of Beidou just by achieving a first-level sublimation.
Just as the curly-haired Finn was about to say something, his face darkened when he saw Ye Yutang walk in: "Oh f***! It's you again?"
Ye Yutang was taken aback, then chuckled and said, "Yeah, how come it's you again, my defeated opponent?"
"Shut up!" Finn gritted his teeth in anger.
Qiao Yuan ignored all of this, deciding to make the best of it and that it wasn't a big deal.
As the remaining students gradually arrived, Ms. Daisy, who had arrived earlier, also came in, immediately attracting the attention of many boys and quieting things down considerably.
But the next moment, Qiao Yuan suddenly looked outside the classroom, which was quite unexpected.
It's that fox girl!
Wearing a burgundy dress, the young lady of the Tushan family, with her pointed fox ears twitching slightly, walked into the classroom with a reserved expression, carrying a fluffy bear backpack.
In an instant, all eyes in the class turned to him, and everyone was very surprised.
The fox girl's face immediately flushed red, and she quickly found a seat and sat down.
