Black Technology Research Center

The waiting time always feels exceptionally long.

The efficiency of Beihai University of Technology did not disappoint these students.

At 9:30 AM, after breakfast, Fang Yuan and his group arrived outside yesterday's examination hall.

Fang Yuan and the others were very familiar with this place, and upon their arrival, many people were already waiting outside.

This was their last chance to earn extra points before the Gaokao. Although it wasn't direct admission, the 20-point reduction policy made them envious.

The students gathered in small groups, talking in hushed voices. As time ticked by, the sound of their discussions gradually diminished.

The closer they got to the announcement of the results, the more nervous they became. The noise in the hall gradually disappeared, leaving only hurried breaths.

The students' faces began to turn red, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and they clenched their fists, silently cheering themselves on.

Although this wasn't the Gaokao, it was equally important to them. This was their chance to enter a top domestic university, and perhaps their last chance.

The students present weren't the top performers in their respective schools. For them, entering Beihai University of Technology based on their own strength was quite difficult.

The importance of this opportunity to them was self-evident!

Time passed second by second, and everyone's heart beat in sync with the ticking of the clock. They stopped talking, their eyes fixed on the door. They hoped time would pass faster, so they wouldn't have to wait for their fate to arrive like this. At the same time, they hoped time would pass slower, so that fate would never arrive.

With such conflicting feelings, everyone's expression was very conflicted.

Even Jiang Tian, who was usually expressionless, and Qian Xiaoxiao, who always had a smile on his face, showed signs of anxiety and unease.

Fang Yuan was also anxious. He was expectant and excited. He knew this was the vanguard to test his efforts. Defeating it, crushing it, would give him more confidence to fight the final BOSS.

9:50, 51, 52…

As the time for the announcement drew closer, everyone's emotions became more agitated.

Finally, amidst everyone's anticipation, the door in front of them moved and slowly opened.

All eyes were focused on the person who walked out of the door.

They weren't disappointed. The person held a rolled-up piece of paper in his hand. If there were no surprises, this was the result of the exam.

"Ahem, please make way a little. I'll post the list. The results are on it. Find your own names!"

Everyone made way for him. Without any extra words, the proctor holding the list posted it on the wall and then quietly stood aside.

The students swarmed forward. Someone pushed Fang Yuan, squeezing him to the front.

This saved Fang Yuan a lot of trouble. He looked up and scanned from bottom to top, quickly searching for his name.

"Not here, not here."

Finally, on the second line of the list, Fang Yuan saw his name.

"Fang Yuan, School: Beihai No. 1 Middle School, Written Test: 97.5 points, Computer Test: 95 points, Total Score: 192.5 points, Rank: 2"

"Phew, that's good. Although it's only second place, this score is beyond my expectations!" Fang Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief, letting go of the anxiety he had been holding.

He continued to look up, and the first place was actually that guy Qian Xiaoxiao.

"Qian Xiaoxiao, School: Beihai No. 1 Middle School, Written Test: 97 points, Computer Test: 96 points, Total Score: 193 points, Rank: 1"

The two were only 0.5 points apart, which was a very small difference.

Just as Fang Yuan finished reading, Qian Xiaoxiao's voice came from behind.

"I'm first, did you see that? I'm first!"

The arrogant voice attracted everyone's attention, and some people even looked at him with a hint of anger.

Fang Yuan covered his face and silently distanced himself from the elated fatty, afraid of being seen by him.

He didn't want to become the target of public criticism; it didn't suit his personality.

According to Murphy's Law, things will develop in the least desirable direction. Just as Fang Yuan was covering his face and leaving, Qian Xiaoxiao suddenly looked over at him.

"Hey, second place, where are you going?" Qian Xiaoxiao's arrogant voice shattered Fang Yuan's hopes, so he simply stopped walking.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Fang Yuan congratulated Qian Xiaoxiao expressionlessly.

"Hehe, how about it? Am I awesome?" Qian Xiaoxiao smiled triumphantly, waiting for Fang Yuan to praise him.

"Awesome, awesome! I, your little brother, am completely defeated." Fang Yuan praised him insincerely.

"You're not bad either, only a tiny bit behind me!" Qian Xiaoxiao laughed and patted Fang Yuan on the shoulder, speaking earnestly.

Fang Yuan ignored the fatty, letting him be proud. He turned his attention back to the list. Besides the two of them, there was another student from Beihai No. 1 Middle School who was ranked in the top five. This person was Jiang Tian.

"Jiang Tian, School: Beihai No. 1 Middle School, Written Test: 95, Computer Test: 95, Total Score: 190 points, Rank: 4"

"I didn't expect this guy to be so unassuming, he actually did so well." Fang Yuan thought to himself.

At this moment, he felt like he had forgotten something, but the name on the list reminded him!

"Xue Tian, School: Beihai No. 3 Middle School, Written Test: 96, Computer Test: 95, Total Score: 191, Rank: 3"

"Not bad! No wonder he dared to bet with me. He really has the strength! It's a pity, just a little bit short." Fang Yuan shook his head, feeling very fortunate.

He really was just a little bit short. Xue Tian would have been the winner.

As the only student from Beihai No. 3 Middle School in the top five, Xue Tian's strength shouldn't be underestimated. If it weren't for the bet this morning, Fang Yuan would have congratulated him now.

It's a pity. Fang Yuan was afraid that going up now would be misunderstood and might cause a "bloodbath."

Xue Tian's face was dark at this time. Clenching his fists, he said fiercely,

"Just a little bit short. I'm done for. I hope that guy doesn't pursue the matter, or I'll really lose face."

Students in this period see face as more important than anything else. If Fang Yuan came over and asked him to fulfill his bet, then Xue Tian would definitely do it, but the two of them would have a big feud in the future.

Of course, Fang Yuan didn't do that. There was no benefit to either of them in doing so. Moreover, Fang Yuan admired Xue Tian very much, so he just treated it as making a friend.

Thus, the two, each with their own thoughts, avoided each other, so as not to embarrass the other too much.

Now that the results were out, naturally some were happy and some were sad. The five spots had been determined. Qian Xiaoxiao, Fang Yuan, and Jiang Tian from Beihai No. 1 Middle School, Xue Tian from Beihai No. 3 Middle School, and Sun Yiyi from Rongcheng No. 1 Middle School, who was also the only girl in the top five.

Beihai No. 3 Middle School, which had prepared well for this exam, could be said to be the biggest loser, with only one student ranked in the top five. But they still had the strength. They had four students in the top ten.

In contrast, their biggest competitor, Beihai No. 1 Middle School, which was also Fang Yuan's school, was the biggest winner. They occupied three of the top five spots. Although this wasn't the Gaokao, the strength of the two schools was already clear.

"Alright, everyone, please, the top five students, come with me. Other students who want to visit our campus will be guided by members of the student union. Those who don't want to visit, please rest here. We will arrange for everyone to leave at noon."

The proctor who distributed the list cleared his throat and said to the students who were immersed in the results.

Fang Yuan and the other four followed the teacher and walked upstairs.

They didn't know where the teacher was leading them, but they guessed that he was going to explain the application matters after the exam to them.

Seeking collection and recommendation, all kinds of requests, come what may, I bow to you大佬s.
