last year’s minimum admission score was 406.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My score this time was 421—not much higher, but I’m basically guaranteed admission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, my brother goes to Huangpu Ability University; when we get to the Magic Capital, I can take you guys for a tour inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huangpu Ability University usually doesn’t allow outsiders in, so with my brother’s connections, you’re lucky this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy dressed well and spent most of his speech boasting about his Wu Ke exam score and his connections at Huangpu Ability University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl beside Xu Jingming occasionally murmured in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the quieter girl beside the boy seemed subtly impatient, barely responding at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qian’s patience with Zhang Qiang had nearly reached its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Wu Ke exam ended, she and her best friend both wanted to apply to universities in the Magic Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they bought today’s high-speed train tickets to visit in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they hadn’t expected to meet Zhang Qiang on board; after learning their purpose, he began incessantly bragging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, she was patient and even smiled in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as time passed and he repeated these two things over a dozen times, she grew increasingly annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, out of politeness, she couldn’t just tell him to shut up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, even the quiet person across from her had been woken up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qian was about to apologize when she saw the boy’s face—and her eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So handsome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy across from her had sharp eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and strikingly handsome features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His looks were on par with male movie stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she wasn’t a fangirl, seeing such a handsome guy naturally stirred her interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially with that annoying chatterbox beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, I disturbed you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qian said apologetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming waved his hand, indicating he didn’t mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hi, I’m Sun Rui. Are you also going to the Magic Capital?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Liu Qian’s quietness, the girl beside Xu Jingming was clearly much more outgoing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he was around her age, she greeted him warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Jingming. I’m also going to the Magic Capital.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming nodded politely in response to Sun Rui’s question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re all going to the Magic Capital—we must be destined to meet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qian smiled sweetly and added warmly: “I’m Liu Qian. I’m heading to the Magic Capital to check out the Ability Universities there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just traveling, and I’ll visit my brother at Huangpu Ability University.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy beside Liu Qian chimed in: “I’m Zhang Qiang. Are you also going to the Magic Capital to check out schools?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sort of,” Xu Jingming replied without elaborating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s perfect—I’ll take you all to Huangpu Ability University,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qiang grinned, his tone tinged with quiet superiority. “I’m not exaggerating—among all the universities in the Magic Capital, Huangpu Ability University ranks highly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After I submit my applications, I’ll be attending Huangpu Ability University too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming found this slightly ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magic Capital, as an international metropolis, did have several decent Ability universities besides the top-tier Magic Capital Ability University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But among them, Huangpu Ability University—with an admission score of only around four hundred—was certainly not considered excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, for ordinary applicants, it was still a prestigious school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming had little desire to talk to strangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qian was also a quiet girl, and Sun Rui was slightly more lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even she seemed to prefer listening over speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, in the ensuing conversation, Zhang Qiang naturally took the lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He enthusiastically boasted about his Wu Ke score and his connections at Huangpu Ability University, trying to attract Liu Qian’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his tactics were too crude; even Xu Jingming couldn’t help shaking his head inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Liu Qian—she was barely hiding her disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, compared to when they first boarded, her patience had improved greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there was now a handsome guy to look at, wasn’t there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, for the rest of the journey, Liu Qian’s gaze drifted almost entirely toward Xu Jingming...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by; by noon, the train finally arrived at the Magic Capital high-speed rail station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming’s group followed the crowd toward the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Zhang Qiang tried to get Liu Qian’s contact information, but was met with a cold shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the group stepped out of the station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, taxis and private cars lined up waiting for passengers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qiang spotted one of the cars and his eyes lit up; he hurried over to Liu Qian, fawning:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My brother’s car is here—come with me, we can tour Huangpu Ability University together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he feigned apology toward Xu Jingming: “But my brother’s car doesn’t have enough seats—if you want to come along, you’ll have to take a taxi yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry—we’ll wait for you at the school gate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most sedans have five seats; four of us fit easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said this on purpose, hoping to drive Xu Jingming away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he wasn’t blind—just a moment ago in the car, the beautiful Liu Qian’s attention was almost entirely on Xu Jingming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a fool could see Liu Qian had feelings for Xu Jingming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he could drive the other away, he might still have a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his antics didn’t produce the result he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he drew Xu Jingming’s look of utter disbelief:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When did I ever say I was coming along?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1477,"2026-06-21T05:33:57.936Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1af4f0fe5f0c991cb71c4a813f808390d5eeedf99a133ff6772ddd6a1b39dd91","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-37","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-35",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
