The ever-changing star starts with a rice cooker.

Chapter 140 The Undercurrents of the New World (4,000 words)

For every person who is happy, there is someone who is sad.

Ningdu narrowly won the competition.

Some students at certain schools have faces so dark they look like they've seen a ghost.

Without even greeting Ning Du, he lowered his head and walked straight away.

Only Wang Erni came over to congratulate Ning Du.

Ning Du was surprised to see her like this. Was this girl genuinely happy for his victory?

That's strange. Does she have a very big heart?

Ning Du couldn't help but take a second look. Well, it probably is quite big.

Teacher Xiahou left with Yin Wei, without saying another word to Ning Du and Teacher Qin before they left.

Clearly, the First Guardian Affiliated High School has lost face big time this time.

Before arriving, I was absolutely certain of success; after arriving, I was so badly beaten that I questioned my existence.

Yin Wei, in particular, seemed to be in a daze when she left.

That's true; it's hard for any normal person to accept being beaten up by a rice cooker.

In the end, only Teacher Qin was left to be interviewed.

As for Ning Du, he had just sat down and hadn't even recovered from his transformation.

I saw my phone frantically receiving messages and making call after call.

"Ning, I'm from Henghuo High School, one of the top ten schools in China. Would you be willing to transfer to our school? We'd like to offer you a generous scholarship—"

"Ning, I'm from Jiangshou No. 1 Middle School. I think you're wasting your talent at Yizhou No. 1 Middle School, come work for us!"

"Ning, I'm Mr. Zhao, the owner of the electronics store. I just watched your competition, and it was absolutely amazing! I really hope to collaborate with you on another project—"

Ningdu's men all died one by one.

Who do they take me for? If he dares to leave Yizhou No. 1 Middle School at this time...

Teacher Qin, Principal Zhu, and his homeroom teacher, Old Xu, would probably eat him alive.

He didn't want to open the door one morning to find Zhu Xiao saying he was going to hang himself at his doorstep.

That would be true.

Houses will be worthless then!

Wait a minute, wasn't there something wrong with one of the calls that just ended?

Oh my god. How did I hang up on Boss Zhao?

Boss Zhao is here to give away money again!

Ningdu won a great victory, and the students, leaders, and friends in Yizhou City were all very happy.

Team Leader Lin was laughing non-stop.

A certain toad-man is practically jumping around in his house.

Even the toad-man's father praised, "Your deskmate is quite impressive. He can even beat students from prestigious universities, so it looks like he'll definitely get into a good university. Learn from him, and you should also try to get into a Guardian University so you can transform back into human form as soon as possible. Becoming a Guardian or something would be a great honor for our family!"

Toad-Man Wang Li quickly replied, "Dad, you think so too, right? That's what I think too! Only by following Brother Ning can I improve quickly; otherwise, with my current strength, how could I possibly get into a good university? This summer, I want to go explore another world with Brother Ning and not come home. Is that okay?"

Old Wang frowned a little. In his experience, whenever his fat son said he wasn't coming home, it was never a good thing.

But now, Old Man Wang feels that it's time to let go.

"Alright, Dad trusts you won't do anything reckless. Go on, go pursue your life!"

"Thank you so much, Dad. Okay, there's one more small thing. Could you sponsor some funds?"

"cannot!"

"I'm your own son!"

"That's not the case when it comes to asking for money."

"Fine, I don't want it anymore. I can't spend it in another world anyway!"

The next day, the news that Ning, the rice cooker student, had defeated the top of the four prestigious universities made the front page headlines.

This has made many people who didn't watch the live broadcast aware that Yizhou No.1 Middle School is really going to produce an extraordinary student this time.

Principal Chen of the First Guardian Affiliated High School also posted about this online.

First, congratulations to Ning on her victory, indicating that First Guardian Affiliated High School isn't petty. A win is a win, and a loss is a loss.

Then, Principal Chen subtly implied that Yin Wei was not considered a top student at school, and that the purpose of this exchange program was to improve her academic level.

It's understandable that she lost. Hopefully, Yin Wei can reflect on this setback and strive for a breakthrough, so that she can perform even better in the college entrance examination.

Principal Chen's words were very eloquent, earning him countless likes.

But no one knows why Chen Xiao had such a dark expression when he posted this update.

Yizhou No.1 Middle School, Ning Du, the rice cooker boy, I'll remember you!

You're the first person in all these years to dare slap the affiliated high school in the face.

You brat, just you wait. The affiliated high school will definitely get back at us for this.

Oh dear, this has become so complicated that I can't explain it to the other principals.

Fortunately, the other principals didn't say anything.

It was probably only after witnessing Ning Du and Yin Wei's duel that they realized this.

When Ning Du interacted with their school, he was very polite and reserved.

It's a pity that Ning Du is about to enter his senior year of high school and will no longer accept any challenges.

If he wants to get revenge, he might have to wait until the college entrance exam and see if he's lucky enough to run into someone there.

But if they really do encounter this, is it good luck for their students?

Misfortune may not be the only thing that will happen!

Well, you're pretty cool, kid.

At this time, in Quanfei City.

In a dark room, someone repeatedly watched the battle video of the rice cooker Ningdu.

The curtains were drawn tightly, preventing even a ray of sunlight from getting in.

-

Pale fingers tapped on the keyboard, and soon the video of Ning Du and Luo Cheng was opened again for another viewing.

"You've made such rapid progress! No wonder you're the pride of Yizhou City. You've expanded your methods and even know a bit about formations. Not bad at all."

After reading it, he turned his finger to the phone next to him.

I quickly dialed a number, waited a few seconds, and the call was answered. Then a woman's voice came through.

"Guardian of Hill, what can I do for you?"

"Something's wrong. I need world DH06784. Has anyone entered it recently?"

The woman was silent for a moment, then said, "Guardian Qiu, you have been suspended. You are not allowed to know this information."

"I know I've been suspended, so you're not going to help me? I'll give you three seconds to think it over. Are you sure you can handle the consequences of not helping me?"

After another moment of silence, the woman finally said in a resigned tone, "Alright, please wait a moment, I'll check for you now—okay, the results are in. No one has entered the DH06784 world in the last three months."

"Very good. So, in the coming days, if anyone—and I mean anyone—opens the DH06784 world, you must inform me immediately."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the woman on the other end of the phone said anxiously, "Guardian Qiu, you can't do this."

You have been suspended. Not only are you prohibited from accessing any information, but you are also forbidden from entering any alternate worlds. If I were to inform you of this information, I would also be fired.

"Being fired is better than going bankrupt, right? I don't ask for much, just let me know when someone opens it. The rest, you won't know anything."

The woman on the other end of the phone seemed to be struggling.

After a moment, the woman said, "Okay, I will let you know. But please don't call this number again."

"Okay, it's a pleasure to work with you."

"No, working with you has been anything but pleasant!"

The woman hung up the phone.

But the guardian of the hill still revealed a different kind of smile.

"My luck is pretty good. Under the Luo family's watchful eye, I originally had no chance of entering the DH06784 world again. But that kid Luo Cheng actually gave away his world pass. And he lost to a high school student. Although this high school student has some skill, he's still under my control. Now I just have to wait, it should be soon. That rice cooker kid wouldn't get a world pass and not use it. It should be this summer! Hehe, little rice cooker, if you don't get in my way, we'll keep to ourselves. But if you go in and cause me trouble, then I won't be polite! Hahahaha!"

Summer vacation is coming soon.

After Biao and his friends finished their college entrance exams, they were like they had just been released from prison, and they started traveling around the world.

Of course, some people did well on the exam, like Brother Biao. Others did terribly, like Brother Gao.

Those who do well on exams disappear in the blink of an eye; you can only find traces of them on social media.

If you do poorly on a test, you stay home and reflect on your mistakes, and don't go anywhere else.

It is said that this year's college entrance examination for awakened individuals is actually based on the magical world, a super-large-scale three-way battle.

The game features mazes, dragons, giant spiders, Dementors, mermaids, and even a super monster transformed from a trophy—it's so difficult that it's made countless test-takers wet their pants.

Brother Biao said he at least made it to the Mermaid Pass.

Although he accidentally "teased" the mermaid at the end, he was chased by the mermaid with a fork for a whole river, which caused the exam to end.

But at least he's better than Big Eyes and Tall Guy.

They were chased and turned into eggs in the first level, the Dragon Egg level.

That's so cruel!

Of course, there are even sillier idiots. After entering the magical world, they couldn't even complete the first main quest.

That is, registering for the competition!

Who knows how these people train? They're probably considering becoming "Lucky Three Protectors" now.

They are: security guard, nanny, and cleaner!

Ning Du thoroughly enjoyed the performance, only regretting that he hadn't watched the college entrance exam to save money.

He could only speculate based on the videos released online, wondering what would have happened if he had taken this year's college entrance examination.

According to Ning Du's own calculations, he should be able to find a way to register for the competition and get through the dragon egg challenge without any problems.

The place where he'll run into trouble will probably be the same as Biao Ge's, which is the underwater section.

If underwater combat capabilities are insufficient, even turning into household appliances will hardly solve the problem.

Sure enough, I still have some obvious weaknesses.

He must resolve all these issues before next year's college entrance examination.

His cheap apprentice also watched a lot of videos with him.

The old man dismissed the competition with disdain.

According to the old man, he could tell at a glance that this match was definitely a joint competition involving the indigenous people.

Since there are indigenous people, there must be traditional methods to get through the difficulties.

This kind of competition is certainly not the first of its kind among the indigenous people, so there must be some techniques that have been passed down through generations.

If he were to participate in the competition, he would immediately find the competition organizers and use his superb alchemy skills to persuade them to give him a way to cheat, or directly get the competition organizers to open a back door.

Or, before the competition, they might use magic to make it so that only they can lift the final trophy.

There are so many ways to do this. To just honestly participate in the competition and pass each stage is foolish.

If there are indigenous people, we must make use of them!

Moreover, not a single one of these students bothered to study the characteristics of this world.

Isn't it obvious?

The first and foremost characteristic of a magical world is magic!

If you don't know magic, try making potions; if that doesn't work, try making magical items.

I guarantee you'll pass smoothly!

Ning Du was stunned. Could taking the college entrance exam really be like this?

No, old man, are you trying to destroy this world? They're just taking the college entrance exam, and besides, there are many people watching and grading them!

If we follow your method, I'm afraid we'll get zero points and be kicked out.

"Ahem, Master, which university did you apply to for the college entrance exam? What score did you get?"

The old man immediately felt embarrassed upon hearing this.

He said hesitantly, "The college entrance exam isn't important. Can a certain score buy your life? My good apprentice, life isn't about grades, it's about being wild! You have to be wild!"

Okay, Ning Du understood.

This is the slacker giving him a lesson. I almost fell for your tricks, old man.

Organize, record, summarize, reflect, and then fill in the gaps.

Only after all of this was completed did Ningdu finally learn a lesson from this year's college entrance examination.

It seems that the exam style in recent years has changed from focusing on a series of tasks to large-scale competitions.

Last year it was a treasure hunt in the world of cultivation, this year it's a three-way battle for supremacy in the world of magic.

So what will it be like when he takes the college entrance exam?

I doubt they'll repeat the world of cultivation and the world of magic.

It's hard to say. There are many kinds of cultivation worlds and magic worlds. Who knows what the person who set the question was thinking?

Ning Du felt that with his current abilities, what he feared most was the kind of eerie world.

Brute force is rarely effective; a world that relies entirely on skill and intellect is probably the most difficult.

It shouldn't be that bad!

How twisted must the person who set this question be to use this kind of world as a test question?

If that's the case, it would be too unfair if timid students weren't eliminated immediately!

Ning Du shook his head, not thinking too much about it.

He also needs to prepare his summer vacation improvement plan.

First of all, the world's power must definitely reach 500; this is the minimum requirement.

Based on his current pace, he'll need at least one or two more life-or-death battles.

To ensure his victory in the fight to the death, he needs to make more preparations.

Secondly, it's clear that actually taking the exam involves not only completing tasks but also competing with others.

Their understanding of the other world was also quite good, and dealing with the natives was of paramount importance.

You have to practice all of these! How can you do it without practicing?

Just like relying on academic subjects, in the end it all comes down to practicing question types.

If you don't try, then you can expect to fail the college entrance exam!

Fortunately, he still has a World Pass, so he'll use the summer vacation to practice on it.

"Master, I'm going to visit another world. You stay home and don't bring any old ladies home."

"What are you saying? Your master is perfectly innocent. You're going to explore another world, right? Take this with you, learn along the way. Also, remember to bring me back some local specialties, but nothing that's not delicious!"
