Chapter 1212.
His predecessor was living in a tight spot, and the little money he earned from hard work was fed to green tea, so he hadn’t paid any attention to this area at all, and thus knew nothing about the price of mutated biological products.
Only after searching now did Wang Chen realize that the price of such ingredients was surprisingly so expensive.
It was important to realize that although the empire had a strict hierarchy, as long as the people at the bottom of the hierarchy were willing to work, there was no problem at all in having enough to eat and wear.
The price of a kilogram of genetically modified beef in the market is less than 5 star dollars, pork and chicken are much cheaper, even if you eat meat every day until your stomach is full, you will not go bankrupt.
And even the organic meat produced by the Green Planet Ranch, the selling price is only a few tens of hundreds of star dollars.
Gray Helmet Bug meat, and not even the most delicious and energy-rich knife limb meat, the selling price of 3800 star yuan really left Wang Dust speechless, truly feeling his poverty.
But to put it another way, how many star dollars did he eat on the FT1205 Ecological Experiment Star?
Wang Dust didn’t even want to count.
If he had known that mutant creature meat was so exquisite, he should have looked for a few more nests of Gray Helmeted Armor Bugs and brought back more.
Unfortunately, it was already too late to regret.
Only now did Wang Chuan realize that the Higher Martial Arts Examination turned out to be a benefit bestowed by the Empire on hundreds of millions of candidates!
The savings in his bank account right now couldn’t even buy 10 kilograms of frozen Gray Helmeted Beetle meat.
It was simply unaffordable to eat!
As for the idea of running off to the Ecological Experiment Star to hunt on his own, Wang Chen didn’t bring it up at all because it wasn’t realistic in the slightest.
After thinking about it, he decided to find a long term way to make money to maintain his cultivation needs.
So for the next two days, Wang Chuan had been immersed in the Star Ocean Network, looking for various ways to earn star dollars.
And on the fourth day after he returned to Azure Star, the results of this year’s Imperial Higher Martial Examination came out!
Like countless eagerly awaiting candidates, Wang Chen opened the message the first time he received the notification from his personal terminal.
He saw his own results.
Lu Yuan, 17 years old, Azure Star Changhai City’s Third Secondary Academy, three-year semester comprehensive score: 72 points, Higher Martial Exam comprehensive score: 289 points, additional points: 10.
Total score: 371!
The score required to enroll in the Imperial Higher Academy consisted of the semester score, martial arts test score, and additional score together, for a full score of 450 points.
The original body’s results in the past three years in the third medium academy of Changhai City were not very good, and although he had worked very hard, he was limited to his talent and resources, and being able to get 72 points was already considered not easy.
As for the Higher Martial Exam that Wang Chen had participated in after replacing his original body, his 289 points was undoubtedly the most top-notch performance.
Unfortunately, his total score was still pulled down by the other two scores.
Especially the additional points, the original body could only enjoy 10 points from the orphans of the war dead, with no other increase.
The total score of 371 is definitely not low, but if you want to enter the seven empire ……
Wang Dust checked the admission scores of the seven universities last year, only to find that the lowest score requirement, Nine Yao University, had to reach 380 points or more.
The strongest Imperial University and Shenjing University, without 420 points don’t even think about it!
This was actually quite normal, the Holy Light Empire had sixty-five star clusters and trillions of people, and every year, there were countless talented candidates who participated in the Higher Martial Examination, and the fierce competition was self-evident.
The previous two scores pull crotch, is destined to have no chance with the empire’s top seven.
Wang Dust had nothing to complain about, after all, he was occupying the body of the original body, there was no reason to eat and smash the pot.
He retreated to the next best thing and set his sights on the next best higher universities.
In fact, in addition to the seven universities, there were a large number of distinctive institutions of higher learning within the empire, some of which were also very strong.
Wang Dust sifted through the big data and gradually got an idea.
If he were any other candidate, he would definitely have to listen to his parents’ opinions on such an important issue.
He could only make his own choice.
Wang Dust was very clear that within the current imperial system, his choice this time was extremely important.
If he didn’t choose the right one, then he would most likely waste a few years of his precious time, and it would also have a major impact on his path to power, so he had to be careful.
Fortunately, there were three days to fill out the volunteering form, so he was perfectly capable of carefully comparing them to avoid any miscalculations.
But what Wang Chen didn’t expect was that at night, he suddenly received a call from a stranger.
“Hello, is this Lu Yuan?”
Seeing the image of the character displayed holographically on his personal terminal, Wang Chen nodded his head suspiciously, “I’m Lu Yuan, may I ask what’s the matter with you?”
“My name is Zhou Jun.”
The other party was a middle-aged man with a resolute face and a hint of majesty in his eyes, which were also full of confidence, “Are you free right now? I’m in the Blue Right Caf茅 across from the main entrance of your Changhai Third Secondary Academy, and I have something I want to talk to you about.”
Wang Chen hesitated for a moment, but still replied, “Yes, I’ll come over now.”
Intuition told him that this middle-aged man named Zhou Jun, in all probability, was here for his college entrance exam volunteer!
Wang Chen got up and changed his clothes, hurriedly left the dormitory and rushed to the cafe opposite the college.
As soon as he entered, he saw Zhou Jun sitting by the window at a glance.
Although there were quite a few guests sitting in this caf茅 at this time, this middle-aged man was like a burning flame in the darkness, his breath distinct and very eye-catching.
In fact, a few of the women in the seats were peeking at him.
Wang Duan walked over, “Hello, Mr. Zhou.”
Zhou Jun stood up and looked at him, revealing a faint smile, and took the initiative to extend his hand, “By way of introduction, I am Major Commander Zhou Jun of the Azure Star Cluster Garrison Legion’s Fifth Fleet.”
Wang Dust was instantly taken aback, “Lord Major!”
He could tell that the other party was not an ordinary person, but he did not expect to come from such a big place.
The Imperial Army was the most important cornerstone of the Sacred Light Empire, and over the centuries, it had played an irreplaceable and huge role in the wars against the Alliance and the alien races, defending the peace and tranquility of the star cluster.
A Major Commander was of a higher rank than both the Mayor of Changhai City and the Speaker of the Council!
“Call me Captain.”
Zhou Jun gestured for Wang Dust to sit down and smiled, “A few days ago when you participated in the Higher Martial Examination, I was the captain of one of the frigates, and I’ve seen the monitoring of your examination.”
Wang Dust was dazed and couldn’t help but ask, “Captain Zhou, you’re looking for me?”
Zhou Jun unhurriedly picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a sip as he asked, “How many points did you score on the exam this time?”
“371 points.”
Wang Dust replied frankly, “My semester marks and additional marks are too low, there’s no hope for the seventh university.”
Zhou Jun didn’t move, “What’s the martial arts test score?”
“289.”
“A bit low.”
Zhou Jun said bluntly, “Your performance should deserve a higher rating.”
However, the scoring mechanism of the Higher Martial Exam has been continuously adjusted over the centuries to ensure fairness to the greatest extent possible, and it is certainly not something that he, a “small” major, can delude himself about.
Therefore, he stopped at the point, not to mention the intention of seeking justice for Wang Chen: “I’m asking you, do you want to enter the Seven Universities?”
