The Principal's Persuasion

"Honey, what do you think?" Bai Muxi looked at Lin Qiye tenderly.

In her view, whatever choice Lin Qiye makes, she will support him unconditionally.

Lin Qiye ultimately chose Galaxy Martial Arts University.

The two teams are evenly matched, each with their own strengths.

Opinions vary online, with some saying that Dragon's practical courses are closer to the front lines, while others say that Galaxy's martial arts theory is more solid.

But for Lin Qiye, these were just for reference.

What truly made him decide was the passage in the Galaxy Martial Arts University's admission brochure that was marked as the highest honor and tradition.

[All students of our school who, within ten years of enrollment, achieve a genetic potential exceeding 100% and are promoted to 'Transcendent Warriors' are eligible to apply to join the 'Galactic Expeditionary Team' as vice-captains and participate in exploration and expansion missions in the Empire's frontier star systems.]

Explore a new planet!

These four words pierced Lin Qiye's heart instantly!

That was not a simple adventure, but a journey in the endless unknown, where one personally ignites a spark of civilization and imprints their name on the pages of the history book of a brand new planet!

This is the ultimate romance that belongs only to men!

What's more, he also has the "many children, many blessings" system.

On a brand new planet, he can spread his lineage without any scruples, distributing his bloodline across the vast land.

A "star generation" who started from scratch and created a brand new family!

From an ordinary working-class family to the progenitor of a planet.

Once this idea takes hold, it spreads like wildfire.

"I've made up my mind," Lin Qiye put down his cutlery, his gaze clear and firm, "Galaxy Martial Arts University."

For Bai Zhenyun and Bai Mujie, there was no fundamental difference between the two schools; both were pinnacles that they would spend their entire lives looking up to.

No matter which choice Lin Qiye makes, all they can do is applaud.

"Brother-in-law, why?" Bai Mujie asked curiously.

Lin Qiye smiled and slowly explained his reasons.

When Bai Mujie heard "Galaxy Pioneers" and "Pioneering Planet", his eyes instantly lit up like two small suns.

"Wow! A pioneering planet! Brother-in-law, that's so cool! Take me with you when you go! I'll run errands for you!"

"Are you qualified?"

Bai Zhenyun, standing nearby, didn't forget to criticize his son.

This was also a way of showing Lin Qiye that Bai Mujie would absolutely not get entangled in these matters.

It's also to maintain a good relationship between them.

However, the Trail Blazers...

Bai Zhenyun thought of his Bai family.

Their ancestors were also members of the "Taurus-0755 Pioneer Team" on this planet!

Or rather, the ancestors of everyone on this planet were once members of that great team.

However, after more than five hundred years of erosion, social classes, like silt in a river, have long since settled into distinct categories.

Some families seized the opportunities of the times and rose rapidly to become prominent families in the city;

Some, like the Bai family, barely manage to maintain a respectable middle-class lifestyle;

Many more, like Lin Qiye's parents, simply blended into the crowd and became ordinary citizens.

And now, his nephew-in-law will later join the pioneer team of Galaxy Martial Arts University!

Its value and future potential far surpass those of the local pioneering team from the 0755 galaxy back then!

Bai Zhenyun looked at Lin Qiye with eyes filled with awe, excitement, and a hint of... boundless anticipation for the future.

When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!

Perhaps, the fate of these families will truly undergo a dramatic change in the hands of this young man!

Bai Muxi didn't speak, but silently placed her hand on the back of Lin Qiye's hand.

She looked up at her man's profile, her eyes filled with tenderness and pride.

"Husband," her voice was soft, but with an undeniable firmness, "wherever you go, I will follow."

He was about to press "Submit" on the application page when his personal terminal suddenly vibrated, and a video call request popped up.

Caller ID: Class Teacher - Zhou Deming

Lin Qiye's eyes flickered slightly, and a nostalgic smile appeared on his lips.

He glanced at Bai Muxi, who was equally curious beside him, and casually swiped to answer the call.

The screen lit up, and an excited face, flushed and even somewhat distorted, appeared on the screen. It was his homeroom teacher for three years of high school, Mr. Zhou Deming.

Behind Teacher Zhou, the background was crowded with people, a dense, dark mass, almost bursting the camera lens.

Lin Qiye could even clearly see the principal's shiny, bald-headed hair gleaming behind Teacher Zhou's shoulders.

"Teacher Zhou, it's been a long time." Lin Qiye greeted him with a smile, his tone calm and gentle.

His greeting was like pressing the play button.

On the other end of the video call, Professor Zhou Deming's voice trembled with extreme excitement, almost shouting, "Qi Ye! Lin Qi Ye! It really is you! You went to register for the private university entrance exam?!"

The school's information system is connected to the admissions and examination center.

At the same time the final results were announced, an official notification email was also sent to the principal's office of Haicheng Grain District No. 2 Middle School.

However, when Principal Wang opened the email and saw the glaring words "288th place" and "Lin Qiye," his first reaction was—the system had malfunctioned.

He doesn't believe it!

Are you kidding me!

Their ordinary high school, which doesn't even qualify to participate in the "Ten Schools League," has never had a student ranked in the top 300. Their best achievement in history was barely making it into the top 10,000, just enough to get admission to the lowest-tier private university.

He immediately instructed the director of the academic affairs office to double-check, and even used his personal connections to call the municipal education system for inquiries.

The replies I received were all confirmed to be correct!

The entire principal's office erupted in chaos!

The news swept through the entire teaching community like a tsunami, and none of the teachers could believe their ears.

Lin Qiye?

That student from a poor family, who usually had average grades in class and was quiet and reserved?

288th in the province?!

This is even more magical than the sun rising in the west!

That's how this video call came about.

Before pressing the call button, Mr. Zhou Deming's heart was pounding in his throat. He couldn't help but confirm again, "Principal, is it really... really Lin Qiye from our class?"

"Absolutely true!" Principal Wang exclaimed excitedly, slamming his hand on the table.

As soon as the video call connected, Zhou Deming couldn't help but confirm it again, because this was just too unbelievable, so unbelievable that he still felt like he was dreaming.

He was so excited he was incoherent, waving his arms: "288th place! The best result in the history of our Haicheng Grain District No. 2 High School! No! The most incredible result in the entire Haicheng, in nearly a hundred years, among non-key high schools! You kid, you kid are really..."

He racked his brains for a long time, but couldn't think of a suitable word to describe his feelings.

"Teacher, you flatter me. I was just lucky," Lin Qiye replied with a smile, his calmness a stark contrast to the fervor on the other side.

"Lin, this is Principal Wang from No. 2 Middle School!" The principal's shiny bald head finally emerged from behind Teacher Zhou, his face beaming with a chrysanthemum-like smile. "The school is proud of you! We are so proud of you!"

Behind him, countless faces, some familiar and some unfamiliar, stared intently at Lin Qiye on the light screen, their eyes filled with shock, ecstasy, and adoration.

Principal Wang cleared his throat, forcibly suppressing his excitement, and asked in as kind a tone as possible, "Qi Ye, where are you planning to apply to? Are you having any difficulties? The school can help you with some advice!"

Lin Qiye blinked, and following his lead, feigned distress, saying, "Teacher, Principal, you know our family's situation, this tuition fee..."

Upon hearing this, Principal Wang was overjoyed and immediately said, "Oh, don't worry about that! With your ranking of 288th, you should have no problem getting a full scholarship to a top-tier private university like Taurus Martial Arts University!"

"Thank you for your concern, Principal. However, I applied to Galaxy Martial Arts University."

Principal Wang's smile froze on his face. He quickly adjusted his expression, adopting the tone of a wise and earnest elder: "The competition at Galaxy Martial Arts University is fierce. It's full of geniuses! Not just geniuses, but geniuses whose families have resources and connections! You haven't filled out your application yet, have you? Listen to me. When I was a teacher, I mentored many outstanding students; I have more experience than you. There's a saying: 'Better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond!'"

He patiently explained, "Top-tier imperial universities like Galaxy University and Dragon Soaring University aren't actually as suitable for you as top-tier universities within the galaxy like Taurus Martial Arts University. There, you can receive the school's most core resources and become a true prodigy!"

"Furthermore, to be honest, I have some connections at Taurus Martial Arts University. Their admissions director is my senior. If you go there, I guarantee he'll take good care of you and might even be able to secure double the S-level cultivation resources for you!"

The principal spoke with such sincerity that it seemed he was genuinely concerned for Lin Qiye's future.

In reality, he was having his own little scheme in mind.

Just now, the admissions director of Jinniu Martial Arts University personally approached Principal Wang.

Actually, we're not alumni.

Principal Wang only graduated from a second-rate public martial arts university back then.

The admissions director of Jinniu Martial Arts University stated that if Lin Qiye could be persuaded to apply to Jinniu Martial Arts University, he would personally receive a referral bonus of up to 100 million credit points in exchange for the benefits!
