Chapter 513: The First Breakpoint! [1 update]
A total of 3,000 candidates participated in this round of interviews this year, and only 300 of them were able to take the written test.
In the second round of written examination, another two hundred people will be eliminated, and finally only one hundred people will be able to study at Shenzhou University.
After layers of screening, they are the elite among the elites.
As the announcement of the results at six o'clock drew closer, more and more candidates came to wait.
To Kang Lejia's surprise, she did not see Ye Wanlan and Lin Wenli, brother and sister, in the crowd.
Could it be that he knew he wouldn't be accepted and simply didn't come?
He is quite self-aware.
Kang Lejia snorted coldly and continued to wait.
Time passed by, and suddenly——
"clang--!!!"
The bronze bell in the bell tower was struck, and it was exactly six o'clock.
At the same time, a new page was refreshed on the bulletin screen, which was the list of candidates who passed the interview.
Kang Lejia's expression could not hide his excitement, and he looked up impatiently.
The list was released in order of ranking, and everyone could see the words on the first line -
No.1: Lin Wenli, male, 18, Shenzhou, Jiangcheng No. 95.45 Middle School, points!
There was an exclamation from below.
"It turns out that he is from Shenzhou? It has been a long time since people from Shenzhou have passed the interview, right?"
"He's still number one. How come I haven't heard of this guy from Shenzhou before? A dark horse that suddenly emerged?"
"I remember that there haven't been any interviews with scores above 95 in the past few years. This Shenzhou person is incredible."
"Oh, what a pity! I am only 0.5 points away from the 300th place!"
"There's still a chance next year! As long as I'm under 20 years old, I can continue to participate."
Although it is only 0.5 points, the lower the ranking, the tighter the scores are, and 0.1 point will eliminate countless people.
The voices of amazement at Lin Wenli's score came one after another, filling the eardrums, and it was hard for the Kang family not to hear them.
Mr. Kang and Mrs. Kang were shocked and their faces looked very ugly.
In their opinion, the education Lin Wenli received was inferior in every way to the one the Kang family gave Kang Lejia.
However, Lin Wenli's score of 95.45 was like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, leaving them feeling chilled all over.
At this moment, they could no longer say anything about not coming to the Kang family for help.
Mr. Kang exhaled slowly and spoke with great difficulty: "Le Jia, have you found your name?"
Kang Lejia didn't answer. She stared blankly at Lin Wenli's name, and her brain began to feel congested.
She has been working hard to get into Shenzhou University, so she didn't take the college entrance examination route.
Compared with other people in the Kang family, Kang Lejia knows more clearly what it means to get a score of 95 or above in the interview.
The candidate who scored above 95 in the previous interview has now joined the International Group and become the general manager of a department.
Lin Wenli's strength is so strong? !
But how could the resources that the Jiangcheng Lin family gave him compare to hers?
Kang Lejia was unwilling to admit that her talent and hard work were not as good as Lin Wenli's, but what made her even more upset was that she was not even in the top 300, and her score was only three points lower than the 300th place!
"Le Jia?" Madam Kang called out again. Her expression became even uglier and her voice was icy cold. "You didn't pass the interview?"
"Grandma, I..." Kang Lejia came back to his senses and couldn't help shuddering, "I..."
"Forget it." Mr. Kang still felt sorry for Kang Lejia and waved his hand, "If you can't go to Shenzhou University, you can settle for Global University as a second choice."
Global University is the second-ranked university in the Global Center and is also among the top universities in the world, but the gap between it and Shenzhou University is huge.
"I'm not blaming Le Jia, I'm..." Madam Kang sighed heavily, "Now, who knows how the Jiangcheng Lin family will mock us behind our backs!"
Where should she put her old face?
But now that things have come to this, there is nothing to be said.
Kang Lejia left Shenzhou University with a pale face and unsteady steps.

The reason why Ye Wanlan did not take Lin Wenli to see the list was because Ling Yunzhan had already posted the list in the group the moment the ranking came out.
[Security guard at Shenzhou University]: Brother Lin has passed the interview and can continue to take the written test tomorrow. [Crazy scientist]: The interview is over and I am relieved, but I still have to work overtime. Alas, people are really not like cattle and horses. Whether cattle plow the land or horses pull carts, at least they have time to rest.
[Ghost Fighter]: Speaking of which, Sister Niuma hasn't appeared for a long time since she suddenly appeared last time. Where did the Wan Guo Group send her to on this mission? It can't be some lost ancient continent, right?
[Crazy Scientist]: Can you think of something good? Don't you really want Sister Niu Ma to live a good life?
[Ghost Fighter]: Of course not, please read the group rules!
[Group Rules]: Sister YN, Sister Youqian and Sister Niuma are the supreme leaders in this group. All members are requested to keep this in mind!
Ye Tuanlan: "..."
This was also the first time she noticed this group rule.
【YN】：Is anyone free? If so, please meet me.
Thirty minutes later, the five people gathered together.
"Darian hasn't woken up yet?" Ye Xingli asked, "I haven't seen him in the group this afternoon."
"He's probably still dizzy." Ling Yunzhan shrugged, "Ignore him."
Kristen didn't bother to pay attention to the two of them, and only asked Ye Wanlan: "Why is it so urgent?"
"I came to the Global Center to make another request." Ye Wanlan was silent for a moment, then said, "I would like to ask you to help me keep an eye out for the whereabouts of the Yanwang Sword."
"Sword of the King of Yan?" Ye Xingli raised his head suddenly. "The legendary weapon of the King of Yan?"
"It's not a legend." Ye Wanlan said calmly, "The Yanwang Sword is actually an unnamed sword. Because it is the sword of the Yanwang, it is called the Yanwang Sword."
Christine was obviously very interested in the history of China. She nodded slightly and said, "The King of Yan is known as the master of both spear and sword. He is a god of war."
"I know, I know." Wen Chaosheng cleared his throat, "I talked about this specifically in history class when I was a freshman!"
Chinese History is one of the compulsory subjects in all departments of Shenzhou University.
"I have visited many places in Shenzhou, but there is no trace of the Yanwang Sword." Ye Wanlan said slowly, "I think it is very likely to be in the Global Center."
"Okay." Christine nodded. "I'll keep an eye on it, but if it's not at the Global Center..."
Ye Xingli hesitated for a moment: "It can't be that it's really in some lost ancient continent, right?"
The existence of Atlantis is almost certain.
But in fact, no one has actually been to this place. We only know that there are indeed many secrets hidden under the Nanling Sea.
The technology of the Global Center has conquered the whole world, but it is still unable to reach the South China Sea.
After these words came out, Ye Wanlan's expression froze slightly, and she murmured: "It's not impossible."
But if it was really in Atlantis, things would be even worse.
"Don't worry." Christine said, "There is strength in numbers. As long as it exists, we will be able to find it."
Ye Wanlan hummed, then she turned around and asked Ye Xingli: "Are there any new research progress on the Atlantis Stone?"
"Yes." Ye Xingli's expression suddenly became nervous. "Because it is an unknown element, through the study of the stone, it is inferred that the creatures that accompany this stone on a daily basis are much stronger than us."
Kristen: “Speak human language.”
"To put it simply, this creature is superior to us in terms of speed, strength, and other aspects." Ye Xingli said, "We need to rely on martial arts training, drugs, etc. to expand our physical strength, but they don't."
Ye Wanlan's eyes darkened slightly.
This is consistent with what Lin Weilan described.
"So interesting?" Ling Yunzhan touched his chin, "Should we thank them for not hurting us?"
"I will continue my research," Ye Xingli said seriously, "and I will inform you as soon as I make any new discoveries."

At the same time, on the other side of the main city.
"You mean, the person who is interviewing at Shenzhou University this time is from Shenzhou? One of the five major families in Yunjing?" The middle-aged man frowned and asked, "The surname is Lin... Could it be that he is from the Yunjing Lin family?"
"I checked, it's just a branch of the family." The young man knelt on one knee, "Also, Lin Wenli is a man, so it's impossible for him to be cultivated by the family."
Everyone knows that the Yunjing Lin family respects women, and if anyone's descendants do not have daughters, they will be expelled from the family.
The middle-aged man's frown relaxed: "It seems that the branch family can also produce geniuses, but it's a pity that the genius who doesn't belong to us is better off dying."
Since he has no background or backing, it would be easy to make Lin Wenli disappear quietly from the Global Center.
