Chapter 165: Shocking All Parties (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Imperial Capital, in the living room of a luxury villa in the wealthy district.

Li Zehao, wearing a white sportswear, looked at the report card on the screen with dull eyes, holding his head in complete disbelief.

"How could this be??"

"How could I only be ranked 35th? My last ranking was clearly 25th, and my Red Ranking was even 21st."

"There's a problem with this ranking, absolutely a problem!"

Li Zehao pointed at the screen, unwilling to believe this fact.

The middle-aged beauty in the red dress beside him also nodded indignantly: "That's right, we want to find the headquarters to re-verify the results."

"There's absolutely a problem with this ranking!!"

"My son is so excellent, someone must be targeting us."

Imperial Capital, in the deep mountains, Cangqiong Martial Arts University Sixth Academy, a small office.

The decoration was extremely simple, with only simple chairs, as if it were temporarily renovated.

"Beep!"

"Master, Lin Qi's news."

A blue metal sphere reminded him with a sound.

"Project it."

"Okay!"

Liu Yuanzhang, who was dealing with the start-of-school affairs, raised his head and saw the screen projected in front of him.

"It seems the college entrance exam results are out!"

"Let me see, how far can Lin Qi go?"

The moment he finished reading the report card, his pupils shrank, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

A moment later, he returned to calm, smiled and shook his head, and touched his large earlobes.

"It seems we underestimated this Lin Qi. I already overestimated him, thinking he could get 17th or 18th place."

"To think he actually rushed to 10th place."

In the next office, Lu Wei, who had a plump figure, looked excited and flushed, and ran over with a smile: "Dean, Lin Qi actually got 10th place nationwide; our Sixth Academy has made a fortune."

Liu Yuanzhang raised his head suddenly, opened his eyes, and it seemed that a strong force surged out.

"Xiao Wei, the national ranking list will be out soon."

"Tomorrow, our Sixth Academy will submit Lin Qi's information."

"Five days later, the volunteer filling will begin!"

"With Lin Qi as a signboard this time, we should be able to recruit quite a few good seedlings."

"I understand!" Lu Wei turned and left excitedly, full of energy.

Soon, only Liu Yuanzhang, who was wearing a white robe, remained in the office.

"This time, our Sixth Academy has been sinking for so many years, it's time to rise."

At 12:00 noon, the college entrance exam results were released uniformly.

Countless college entrance exam graduates checked their results.

Some were happy, some were sad.

For Lin Qi's family, there was nothing happier than this day.

Dad Lin Zhen made phone calls for more than an hour, and Mom Fang Huiyi was about the same.

Finally, their family went downstairs to a restaurant for lunch.

In the restaurant

"Dear audience friends, hello! Here is an exciting piece of news."

"In this year's martial arts college entrance exam, candidates in our province achieved proud results! An excellent candidate from our province, Student Lin Qi."

"Student Lin Qi stood out in the martial arts college entrance exam, winning the first place in Cang Province, and ranked 10th in the national ranking, successfully breaking the historical record of Cang Province for many years!"

"..."

In the news broadcast, Lin Qi's avatar appeared in everyone's sight.

"Young people today are truly amazing!"

An old man in his sixties or seventies sighed.

"Yes, 10th place nationwide, what a genius, maybe he will be a high-realm martial artist in the future!" an old lady sighed.

"A big shot is going to appear in our Cang Province in the future."

The boss was also watching the news, looking at Lin Qi's avatar. Suddenly, he felt familiar, glanced over, and saw Lin Qi's family eating.

"Lin Qi!!"

He shouted in surprise.

Everyone looked over, and there was an uproar.

"Too similar, it really is Lin Qi!"

Some people instantly took out their phones to take pictures, shoot videos, and the boss picked up a piece of paper and a pen to ask for an autograph.

Quite a few people came over to ask for autographs.

Lin Qi felt that he was famous, this time in the entire Cang Province, and Tianhai City was famous.

Even more exaggerated than last time.

At the same time, classmates in Tianhai No. 2 High School and other geniuses all saw the news.

In a villa, Yu Jing looked at Lin Qi on TV, and the whole person was almost distorted.

"Why is it Lin Qi again? He is actually the first place in Cang Province, how is this possible."

"Why is it him?!"

At the same time, outside his villa, a burly man wearing a black coat and a mask covering himself tightly looked at the villa.

"Yu Jing, a good choice!"

In a Chinese-style luxury villa, the delicate-looking Wang Qiufeng looked at his third place in Cang Province, then looked at Lin Qi, who was in first place in the news, and sighed: "Can't compare!"

"I didn't expect Lin Qi to take the top scholar position in the end, and even rushed to 10th place nationwide."

... Bai Lu City, in a spacious bedroom.

Chen Li, who was burly and wearing loose black pajamas, stretched out his big hand, clenched his fist, and looked at the projected news and shook his head. 【1

"I'm second in Cang Province and only 23rd nationwide; the gap between me and him is too large."

"Lin Qi is indeed powerful; I, Chen Li, concede defeat!"

"The 10th place nationwide might not even be his limit; being from the same Cang Province, perhaps I can build a good relationship with him."

……

Evening, Tianhai City Martial Arts Education Bureau.

In the Director's office, He Ju, who was the director, looked at the national grade table projected in front of him.

He stood up and sighed:

"Who could have imagined that a year ago, he was an ordinary student applying for the third-class genius loan."

"A year later, he could actually exceed everyone's expectations, surpass tens of thousands of geniuses, and become a top-tier existence in the top ten among millions of martial arts students."

!

Thinking of this, he took out his smartphone and started operating it:

"Since he is the Top Graduate and has brought glory to our Cang Province, the reward naturally cannot be lacking."

"Find a time to send the reward to him."

……

At the same time, Wang Zhenhai, the Vice Lu Guanzhu of the Chongming Martial Arts Mansion, was also extremely annoyed and deeply regretful; a genius like Lin Qi should have belonged to their Chongming.

Not just him, the Vice Lu Guanzhu of the Heiyao Martial Arts Mansion was also filled with regret; if they had known Lin Qi could enter the national top ten, they would have done anything to snatch him over.

It wasn't just the two major martial arts mansions.

The three top universities also received the news and were crazy about Lin Qi, wanting to recruit him, but he rejected them all.

Lin Qi felt that he had underestimated the influence brought by being the Cang Province Top Graduate and 10th place nationwide.

From 12:00 noon until the national ranking list came out the next day, his smartphone had hardly stopped.

People kept making video calls and constantly sending messages to contact him.

He had to turn off his phone to get some peace.

……

Two days later.

Lin Qi's family car drove through the University Town, passed Wanda Plaza, and finally arrived at the Red Dome Wu Zhe Residential Area next to the Red Dome Martial Arts Mansion—Yujing Haoting.

At the entrance of the residential area, there were exquisite carved stone pillars standing tall, and the security guards were wearing crisp black and red uniforms, with burly builds and powerful auras; they were all martial artists.

They stood tall and straight, scanning their surroundings with vigilant eyes.

After seeing the license plate of Lin Qi's family car, they directly opened the large black iron gate to let them through.

One security guard even took the initiative to run in front to show the way.

Entering the residential area, on both sides of the tree-lined scenic boulevard, neatly trimmed low shrubs formed various exquisite patterns, and the artificial lake shimmered.

Detached villas were distributed in an orderly manner. Each villa had a unique architectural style.

The five people in the car looked at everything in the residential area, filled with shock, and Lin Qi was the same.

Soon, the security guard led the car to a detached villa that combined Chinese and Western styles with a technological feel.

The outer walls of the villa were built with beige marble, and there were exquisite reliefs in every corner.

One could even see that the courtyard inside was spacious and open, designed as a private garden.

At the entrance, a middle-aged beauty wearing a white slim-fit uniform stood there.

Seeing Lin Qi's family and the Jiang siblings, she revealed a professional smile:

"Mr. Lin Qi, welcome to Yujing Haoting. I am the property manager here—Wei Qingqing. This will be your new home from now on."

"Lu Guanzhu Yue Feng of the Red Dome Martial Arts Mansion and He Ju of the Martial Arts Education Bureau are already waiting for you inside."

"Okay!"

Their group entered the first-floor living room of the villa; it was an extremely spacious hall, a full 500 square meters.

The overall decoration style was a white minimalist starry sky style, with various technological lawns embedded in every corner.

On the walls, there were smart interactive screens playing a 3D map of the villa.

On the gray sofa in the living room sat two figures, Yue Feng and He Ju.

"Finally here!"

The two stood up to welcome the five.

Yue Feng took the lead and said with a smile, "Lin Qi, from now on, this villa is your new home."

He Ju next to him said with a chuckle:

"Student Lin Qi, congratulations on becoming the Cang Province Top Graduate and breaking the historical record to become the 10th place nationwide."

"To show our reward, you don't need to pay back your genius loan anymore."

"At the same time, our Martial Arts Education Bureau has paid to purchase a top-tier detached villa from Yujing Haoting under the Red Dome Martial Arts Mansion as your new home."

Lin Zhen and Fang Huiyi were stunned after hearing this; although they already knew it was their new home, they still felt shocked.

Manager Wei next to them introduced, "This villa cost 50 million Xia Guo coins to build."

"It is divided into four floors: the basement is the martial arts room, the first floor is the living room, the second floor is the bedroom, and the third floor is the rooftop."

"It also comes with a courtyard and a garage, occupying a vast area, which can satisfy the needs of the whole family."

Lin Qi nodded and thanked them, "Thank you all!"

A moment later, Yue Feng and He Ju left, and Manager Wei took the five to tour the villa and learn about the smart home system inside.

"Brother Qi, I'm really envious of you, getting a detached villa for free." Jiang Tao's eyes were filled with envy.

"What's there to be envious about? You were also rewarded with a villa; although it wasn't free, it was split into 36 installments for you, tens of millions, and you'll have it paid off in three years." Lin Qi said with a smile.

As the 8th place in Cang Province, Jiang Tao naturally also received a reward.

Besides not having to pay the genius loan, he was also rewarded with a villa, but it wasn't free; it was split into 36 installments, to be paid off within three years.

It would be less than 1 million Xia Guo coins per month.

Half an hour later, Jiang Tao took Jiang Miaoyin to their new home next door.

Lin Qi was also touring his martial arts room, which was built in the basement; there were two martial arts rooms.

The largest one was completely occupied by Lin Qi; the entire martial arts room was extremely spacious, nearly 300 square meters, and the floors and walls were made of a specially crafted silver alloy.

"Clang clang!"

He scraped the Thunder Horn Great Spear against the wall, sparking large amounts of fire, leaving only faint scratches on it.
