Chapter 105: Song Ban Zhi Gui's New Developments

After playing a king bomb, Zhou Xiaoyu didn't mention at all hoping Qin Chuan would join Yan Da, but instead suddenly brought up another matter.

In today's assessment, we gave a provisional rating to the candidates we favored.

In the next assessment, we will refer to this provisional rating to determine the candidates' final rating, which is also your last assessment before the college entrance exam.

There are four grades—S, A, B, C—and each top grade contains three sub-grades.

A provisional C grade means being placed under observation, receiving more attention and scrutiny in the next assessment, but if the final grade remains C, no preferential treatment will be given in the college entrance exam.

A provisional B grade means increased attention, and the final grade will be no lower than B-." Zhou Xiaoyu paused, then said: "The three sub-grades B-, B, and B+ correspond to preferential treatments: score-reduced admission, lowering the admission line by one tier, and lowering the admission line by two tiers."

A provisional A grade follows the same pattern: a final grade of A- allows lowering the admission line by three tiers, a final grade of A grants direct admission, and if the final grade is A+..." Zhou Xiaoyu paused, then added: "On top of direct admission, a substantial scholarship is added."

And what about an S grade?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but become curious.

An A grade already guarantees direct admission and a scholarship.

Then how exceptional would an S grade be?

An S grade?" Zhou Xiaoyu smiled. "An S grade also guarantees direct admission, but the reward is no longer a scholarship but resources.

Even though Zhou Zixiu had told him after the first assessment ended that, if he kept going, he had a chance to receive direct admission from Yan Da's Hua Qing, when Zhou Xiaoyu actually stood before him, he still felt surreal.

I understand." Qin Chuan nodded, then couldn't help but become curious: "Could you tell me what provisional grade Yan Da gave me?"

But the sheer amount of information left Qin Chuan dazed even after he returned to his rented apartment.

After thinking, Qin Chuan picked up his phone and called Xiao Pang.

Zhou Xiaoyu smiled faintly.

This is Yan Da.

An A grade means that in his third practical combat assessment, his lowest possible final grade would be A-, and the worst treatment would still be admission with a three-tier reduction in the admission line.

By then, Qin Chuan could compare the pros and cons of both sides on his own.

That said, Qin Chuan actually leaned toward Yan Da the moment he heard Ji Huai would be teaching there.

One of the two top universities of the Yan Huang State.

Yan Da's S grade will receive extraordinary resources and full support in many aspects," Zhou Xiaoyu said softly. "Each of them will receive treatment no lower than that of the first batch of official-level players in the Special Affairs Group.

A+.

——

Until the conversation ended, Zhou Xiaoyu never uttered any invitation for Qin Chuan to join Yan Da, as if it were merely a casual chat.

According to Zhou Xiaoyu, Hua Qing's rating for him was likely also an A, so Hua Qing's observers would soon approach him as well.

That is why the conditions for an S grade are extremely strict, and the slots are few.

When Zhou Xiaoyu approached him, Xiao Pang immediately indicated he had something to attend to at home and needed to rush back, and also recommended the coffee shop where they were chatting.

You should know that the Special Affairs Group long ago pooled everyone's efforts to produce over a hundred official-level players, and at that time there were even no weekly settlement rewards.

Thus, Yan Da was already within easy reach for him.

This achievement, he can now secure it steadily.

This made Qin Chuan feel he needed to share this good news with Xiao Pang.

By the way, he wanted to ask what that guy had actually done in the practical combat assessment.

The call was quickly connected, and from the other end came Xiao Pang's nervous inquiry: "What's up? Is Yan Da going to give you direct admission qualification?"

Hmm…" Qin Chuan pondered for a moment, "More or less, if I want to, I can get in."

'Hiss—' Xiao Pang couldn't help but suck in a breath, his expression on the other end of the line twisting with both relief and envy, his teeth itching: "That's Yan Da!"

At that moment, he suddenly understood what it meant to "both fear his brother suffering hardship and fear his brother driving a Land Rover."

Your assessment ranking is first among trainees, so you'll definitely be noticed by a good university." Qin Chuan smiled to comfort him, then suddenly asked: "So, what happened during your assessment process?"

Well…" Xiao Pang scratched his head, "I charged straight into the monster horde wearing Rock Armor, fighting the monsters in melee, scaring the rest of the team silly.

He didn't consider it that dangerous, and thinking of the other team members' reactions then, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

But Qin Chuan on the other end of the line was somewhat silent.

Rock Armor is the skill Xiao Pang uses to cover his body in stone.

That skill indeed greatly boosts Xiao Pang's defense, but the monsters he faces are equally formidable in that regard.

This was destined to be a fierce battle.

At this moment, Qin Chuan understood why Xiao Pang had bandages wrapped around him and had changed into a fresh set of clothes.

With me holding the front, my teammates only need to deal ranged damage from behind—it's both safe and efficient." On the other end of the phone, Xiao Pang chuckled, "They didn't even realize I'm a monster head!"

Most of the monsters' final blows were landed by me, so how could my score not be high?

That's what you deserve." Qin Chuan spoke softly.

Only then did Xiao Pang notice Qin Chuan's unusual mood, and after a moment's thought he understood.

Don't worry, I'm fine." Xiao Pang pressed his lips, "I'm sharp—when I couldn't hold out any longer, I immediately pressed the signal transmitter, not holding on for even an extra second.

You gotta give it a shot—who knows, maybe I'll snag some low-level resources—and I succeeded!" Xiao Pang chuckled, eyes full of anticipation, "Qin Chuan, after one more weekly settlement, I'll be an official-level player too!"

I heard there's another practical combat assessment coming up; then we brothers can fight side by side again!

Qin Chuan fell silent for a moment, "Alright, I'll wait for you."

Let's not talk about that." Xiao Pang raised his eyebrows, swiftly changed the subject, "Qin Chuan, I've discovered something big."

What?

'Song Ban Zhi Gui didn't kill any other players today!' Xiao Pang's eyes flashed with gossip, 'And he switched to another zone as well.'

Your topic shift is a bit awkward." Qin Chuan shook his head helplessly, "Never mind what that guy's up to; you should rest since your injury isn't healed yet.

Hearing Xiao Pang's response on the other end, Qin Chuan hung up and entered the dream forum.

Searching the keywords, he quickly saw the latest discussion about Song Ban Zhi Gui.

Soon, Qin Chuan's expression showed surprise.

Song Ban Zhi Gui not only did not kill other players, but last night, when he happened to encounter other players, he showed no attacking behavior.

After transferring from 6231 district to 6232 district for less than two days, his name disappeared from the 6232 district leaderboard last night and appeared on the 6132 district leaderboard.
