Crossing the stars, I live-streamed my cultivation in kindergarten

Chapter 474 The "Inside Story" of the Final Exam

The sky was tinged with orange.

This was the last batch of points that Zhou Zhou and his team were "feeding" to the candidates in the red camp.

They stood at a distance, gazing into the distance.

Watching the examinees opposite them use a combination of ranged and melee attacks to cooperate in eliminating the horde of alien beasts.

With nothing else to do, the group chattered and discussed amongst themselves.

"Look, it's starting again! Candidate number four is stomping his feet again!"

"Stomping your feet is nothing, candidate number two rolled around on the ground! That movement, that speed, it was incredibly smooth and fluid!"

"Number Two not only rolls around, he also digs in the dirt! My God, such childish things, even my six-year-old dog doesn't do that anymore."

"Does anyone have eye drops? Help me! What is Number Eleven thinking? He has a conflict with Number Three, why doesn't he just use his fists? Why is he cowering and bumping his forehead into Number Three's stomach?!"

"Aren't they too emotional? Why do they start hitting each other every few minutes? And the worst part is they get angry afterward? Look, look, number one beats up number two, then number eleven, then number ten, and finally numbers two, ten, eleven, and seven gang up on him. And the worst part is, after they were done, number one and number two immediately started playing together again? Their interactions always make me feel uneasy, like..."

"It's so sickeningly sweet! In their free time, apart from numbers five and eight, the others are always fighting each other. The thing is, if they're going to fight, they should at least use some force. Don't just tickle each other. After they're tickled, they pout and puff out their cheeks. I really don't understand it at all."

"I've noticed that no one dares to beat up number five and number eight; only number eight gets to beat up others. Could it be that choosing a female virtual avatar is that useful?" The examinee who said this stroked his chin thoughtfully.

……

As they were about to leave the examination room, Zhou Zhou and his group looked at each other across the distance from the thirteen examinees opposite them.

Bernie (number seven) and Doris (number thirteen), these two universally acknowledged sweethearts, even waved to the other side.

After leaving the examination room, Zhou Zhou didn't even bother to check her exam rankings and rushed to the invigilator's room like a gust of wind.

There, he found the person he was looking for.

"Director Chen, the candidates from the red camp are..."

Before he could finish speaking, a large number of candidates poured into the examination room, all of whom had followed Zhou Zhou in.

"Esteemed examiners, we are reporting Chief Examiner Zhou for cheating! He let the other team win!"

"Zhou Zhou and his team must have accepted star coins from the other side! Otherwise, why would they keep feeding the other side points!"

A sinister glint flashed in Jeffries' eyes as he led the whistleblowing.

Vice Principal Chen's face darkened, and he reprimanded, "Before you entered the examination room, didn't I clearly tell you that friendship comes first and exams second? Rankings are not important; what's important is demonstrating our attitude as the host!"

You second-year students had over 8,000 test-takers, while the opposing second-year students had a mere 13. Over 500 of you were completely outplayed in the virtual exam! And you still have the nerve to report others for feeding you points?!

"You guys are decades older than the other candidates for nothing, yet you step into every single trap they set. And those who didn't even step into the traps are still willingly giving away points. I haven't even called you stupid yet!"

"You underestimated the other candidate's abilities? You've been thoroughly humiliated!"
"Don't go out and loudly proclaim that you are students of Tengfei High School. Your teachers and I can't afford to lose face like that! You are truly the worst class I've ever taught!"

Vice Principal Chen was so angry that he felt dizzy and his chest ached. He started cursing loudly as soon as he opened his mouth.

The students who came to report the incident were so verbally abused that they couldn't even lift their heads.

A student timidly raised his hand, "Director Chen, um, you're wrong. We're only a few decades old, still kids. There's no way we could have lived decades longer than the people on the other side."

Most of the Orcs in the StarCraft reach adulthood around 40-50 years old.

So this group of second-grade students are still just kids who have just come of age.

Vice Principal Chen scoffed, "Children? How dare you call yourselves children in front of them? And from today onwards, please call me Vice Principal Chen!"

The students present dared not speak out against their anger.

What's wrong with Old Chen?

Didn't they always say they were still children? Why are they going back on their word now? Is it because they were just promoted to vice principal and need to establish their authority?
Vice Principal Chen saw their dissatisfaction. "Come in, open your eyes wide, and see if you dare to call yourselves children in front of the other candidates!"

Vice Principal Chen zoomed in on the live stream from Sunshine Kindergarten.

During the live stream, thirteen holographic capsules opened.

One after another, chubby cubs, only a little above their knees, crawled out of the holographic capsule.

Vice Principal Chen pointed at the screen and asked loudly, "Look for yourselves, are you the children or are they the children?"

The student who barged in fell silent.

Only Zhou Zhou showed an "I knew it" expression.

Vice Principal Chen: "Before entering the examination room, I repeatedly told you not to bully the candidates opposite you. But you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened. In front of hundreds of millions of viewers, you were humiliated by thirteen kids whose combined age is less than that of a single student."

Of course, this wasn't the most infuriating thing for Vice Principal Chen.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

Tengfei Higher Academy, in the context of the entire Imperial Star, is neither the best nor the worst.

The same applies to the students recruited.

However, because Tengfei is a private school for ordinary people, the elite schools above them simply look down on them and don't bother with them.

Therefore, over the years, Tengfei has always been compatible with downward mobility.

This has led to the fact that in previous years' joint entrance examinations, students from Tengfei High School often achieved excellent results.

This has fostered arrogance and inflated egos in some students.

This has an extremely negative impact on students' growth and the school's development.

Therefore, this is why Vice Principal Chen is trying his best to seize this opportunity of joint examination with Sunshine Kindergarten to change the school's embarrassing situation.

“Vice Principal Chen, if you want to scold us, just do it. There’s no need to compare us to the kids from Sunshine Kindergarten before you start scolding us,” Miles said with a sheepish grin, rubbing his nose.

"You, you, you!" Vice Principal Chen pointed at him, exasperated. "You'd better listen to Zhou Zhou more in the future! Otherwise you'll get sold out and then help him count the money!"

“Vice Principal Chen, you can’t possibly say that the people who took the exam with us these past three days are just a bunch of kindergarten kids who haven’t even graduated yet.” Vice Principal Chen glared at him: “Why not! Do you want to take a look at the scores of the candidates across the way?”

Looking up, a familiar scene appeared on the live stream screen.

The ranking of scores in this joint examination is as follows:

First place, candidate number one, Mu Yunke (red), with 8,021 points;

Second place, candidate number thirteen, Doris (red), with 7,399 points;

Third place, candidate number 99 Zhou Zhou (blue), with a score of 6073;

Fourth place, candidate number twelve, Black Ink (Red), with a score of 6055;

Fifth place, candidate number nine, García (red), with 6004 points;
Sixth place, candidate number 431, Gwent (blue), with 5,548 points;
Seventh place, candidate number seven Bernie (red), with a score of 4,989;
Eighth place, candidate number eight, Tang Lexuan (red), with a score of 4,644;

Ninth place, candidate number six, Phil (red), with 4,609 points;

Tenth place, candidate number 95, Miles (blue), with a score of 3,981;

……

Thirteenth place, candidate number eleven, He Wenzhao (red), with a score of 3,963.
Fourteenth place, candidate number three, Lin Xihe (red), with 3,845 points;

……

Nineteenth place, candidate number two Leo (red), with 2,888 points;
Twentieth place, candidate number five Meng Youwei (red), with a score of 2,764;

……

Twenty-eighth place, candidate number ten, Burr (red), with a score of 2,666;
Sixtieth place, candidate number four Zhu Xia (red), with a score of 2,303;

...}
The red team accounts for 70% of the top ten in points!
The scores of the other eight candidates were also among the top sixty in the joint examination.

However, the students who should have been overjoyed at Sunshine Kindergarten were instead standing obediently in three rows in front of Jiang Yuxi and Frederick, their heads drooping.

[The kids got great results, why are they so dejected?]

Could it be that Principal Xixi is still not satisfied with these results?

[Principal Xixi still thinks that the children cheated because the candidates in the blue camp gave them points, so...]

Why should they? It was clearly their choice.

[Headmistress Xixi, quickly praise the children!]

Zhou Zhou, who was watching the live stream: Could it be that he meant well but did something wrong? If that happens, we're doomed.

Jiang Yuxi: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Leo, the most impatient of all, stiffened his neck, closed his eyes, and looked like he was ready to "go all out." "It was me! I found out in advance from Teacher Severus about the joint entrance exam with our school!"

As Leo's good friend who often got punished together, Mu Yunke wasn't about to be left behind. "And me! I secretly asked Teacher He and the others about the joint entrance exam." Normally, finding out about the joint entrance exam was something Mu Yunke was very proud of—being able to find out was a testament to his skill! However, to his dismay, he hadn't found out anything. Teacher He was too tight-lipped.

Gacio calmly replied, "Keke found out some very important information: Teacher Andrew once mentioned that the school we're applying to is the one that contacted us through the live stream. So, we watched all the recent replays, the comments, and the private messages in the live stream..."

Doris: "I know that when Principal Xixi and the others were attending a court hearing, Teacher He, Teacher Severus, and the other three teachers went to Tengfei, Guanzhong, and Kurhe schools for an inspection."

Zhu Xia: "It was me. I brought out the wine that Principal Xixi taught us to make last time and offered it to Teacher Severus. After he got drunk, we managed to get some information out of him! Although Teacher Severus didn't specify which school it was, he kept mentioning the name Tengfei the most that night!"

Lin Xihe: "After combining the efforts of all three parties, we finally determined Tengfei as our sole target, and then we started searching for information about Tengfei Higher Education Institute online..."

Tang Lexuan: "Wo, Zhuxia, Zhaozhao, Phil, Bernie, and Weiwei pestered Teacher Patrick and Teacher Yueyue to try the century-old shop on Dixing... It's located right in front of Tengfei Higher Education College... We chose to go on a weekend when there are the fewest students and teachers staying on campus. We didn't reveal our identities!"

Bernie: "The students at their school are super enthusiastic! They'll tell me anything I want to ask, and they even told me I'm cute!"

Phil: "A teacher said he could take us in to have a look... and so we went in to have a look."

Zhu Xia: "...The noodles at that shop are a tiny bit tasty, just a tiny bit. The fifth canteen at their school is better than the first four. But, the nutritional drink at the first canteen has the best flavor, and the nutritional paste at the third canteen is the most nutritionally complete..."

I can't even imagine how much Zhu Xia ate during that short half-day campus fair.

Is this the talent of being a foodie?

[Could it be a natural talent as a chef?]

Finally, he summarized: "If, and I mean if, I were to open the sixth canteen at their school, selling steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk in the morning, fast food and rice soup at noon, and roast meats and boiled pork belly in the evening, I should be able to take away 50% of the business from the other canteens. Any more than that wouldn't be enough."

"Why?" He Wenzhao had also eaten at Tengfei's canteen, but the taste was incomparable to Zhu Xia's cooking. He felt that Zhu Xia could steal all the business.

Zhu Xia scratched her head, looking embarrassed, and said, "I'm still a little cub, I can't cook that much food~ Let's wait until I grow up!"

[The first through fifth canteens of Tengfei Higher College: Shivering, don't come any closer!]

[To the faculty and students of Tengfei Higher Education Institute: Hurry up! Why aren't you here yet!]

So, did Zhu Xia do market analysis for his future sixth canteen?

Hei Mo: "Gacio and his team gathered information online, while Zhu Xia and her team went door-to-door to collect intelligence. They learned the general situation of the top 300 students in their second year and the students with special abilities. Zhou Zhou, the top student in the second year, is the strongest. Although he is at the peak of level seven, he can kill enemies above his level and is among the top ten students in Tengfei's combat strength..."

Then I, along with García, Xihe, and Duoduo, prepared a report and discussed tactics with everyone..."

Meng Youwei: "They are so much stronger than us, we definitely can't win in a head-on battle!"

Burr: "So we must avoid them and fight without meeting them head-on!"

Phil: "We made a pact to use the sensing talisman as soon as we entered the exam room..."

……

Who says a toddler can't do anything big?
Today, this group of kids, whose combined age is less than sixty, gave all the orcs a real lesson!

The teachers and students of Tengfei, who were watching the live stream, were speechless with shame: In order to maintain secrecy, the two schools had agreed not to reveal the identities and situations of the other side. Therefore, their students knew nothing about the schools and students in the red camp. They thought the other side was the same, but they never expected that the other side had a clear understanding of their situation and even a detailed battle plan.

Their feelings at that moment were indescribably complicated...
