Chapter 146: 142 Norton University: Recruitment Rush?! 【2 more updates】

“What’s the matter?” Zuo Li was taken aback and looked in the same direction.

The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and the sunlight was brilliant.

Not even a bird in sight.

What was she looking at?

Just as Zuo Li was utterly confused, he watched the girl pick up a stone from the ground and after tossing it in her hand, she hurled it into the air.

“Crack!”

A very faint, crisp sound, as if something had shattered.

Gone in a blink.

Zuo Li stared at that spot in the sky for a full thirty seconds before he finally snapped out of it, uncertainly, “Classmate Ying, did you hear anything?”

“Hm?” Ying Zijin retracted her gaze, wiped her hands, her expression unchanging, “Nothing at all.”

But what she hadn’t expected was that the technology on Earth had already developed to this level.

However, that wouldn’t obstruct her plans for retirement.

“Oh, okay.” Zuo Li nodded, thinking he might be too excited and had started to hallucinate.

At the same time.

Somewhere in the world.

A laboratory door was suddenly flung open from the inside, and a figure dashed out, “Where are the people from the Admissions Department? Hurry, hurry, I have an urgent matter!”

It was an old man with silver-white hair, yet he moved with a sturdy and forceful gait, not seeming old at all.

Someone reminded him, “Professor, over there.”

The old man immediately ran off.

He arrived at the Admissions Department and placed a USB drive in front of the admissions officer on duty, “In my area of responsibility, I have discovered a genius. Take a look, and after you’ve reviewed it, give me the invitation letter.”

“Right away, I will handle it for you,” the admissions officer took it, but a minute later, he looked up confused, “Professor, are you sure there’s nothing wrong? There’s no video in here.”

“That’s impossible!” The old man leaned in for a closer look and when he saw the screen was blank, he exploded, “Where are my records? Who erased my videos?”

Norton University had deployed invisible drones around the world to detect talented students.

Of course, they wouldn’t monitor students’ private activities.

Any conversations related to privacy, the drone cameras would automatically shut down.

Only when the cameras sensed a student worth recruiting to Norton University would they activate, record the relevant footage, and transmit it to the headquarters.

This USB drive was connected to one of those drones.

The old man didn’t even know who had invented this type of drone; he didn’t have the time to care about that.

Now, what he needed to do was get the invitation letter and head straight to Hua Country, to recruit this student into Norton University beforehand.

“Professor, that’s impossible,” said a female assistant carrying a file as she passed by, overhearing this conversation, she shook her head, “Even the leader of the Anonymous Hackers Alliance couldn’t destroy our recordings; they can’t even detect our drones.”

“But it’s truly gone!” the old man said, distressed and pacing in circles, “I just watched it a moment ago, how could it be gone all of a sudden?”

The female assistant shook her head again, “Maybe you should take a rest.”

This was it; he was having problems with presbyopia.

Zhong Family.

Although it was the weekend, Old Master Zhong still went to the company.

Only Lady Zhong and Zhong Zhiwan remained in the old house.

Zhong Zhiwan stood rigidly in front of the sofa, her palms sweating, not daring to look up at Lady Zhong’s face.

“Zhong Zhiwan, what happened with your exam this time?” Lady Zhong glared at the ranking on the paper, so furious she laughed, “1001st place? Are you joking with me?”

“Mom, that’s not it,” Zhong Zhiwan’s face was pale as she spoke softly, “This time, there was a mistake with the school’s calculation system; they didn’t convert the scores. Our class rankings are all very low.”

She paused, then added, “Look, Mom, I’m ranked first in the class. It’s not possible that our whole class would do so poorly.”

“Is that so?” Lady Zhong raised her eyebrows, and upon checking the class ranking, indeed found that was the case, “So if converted, your score would be 730, first in the grade?”

Zhong Zhiwan bit her lip and remained silent, as if tacitly agreeing.

“That’s more like it,” Lady Zhong’s expression softened, “Don’t blame me for being so strict with you. It’s all for your own good.”

Sighing, she continued, “Wanwan, among the young ladies of your generation, you and Xiao Xuan are the most outstanding. I have always been pleased that you could surpass her academically.”

Zhong Zhiwan dared not say anything more.

She feared Lady Zhong would find out that the actual first in the grade was Ying Zijin, the Ying Family’s foster daughter.

Fortunately, during the parent-teacher meeting, the homeroom teacher did not mention the top student.

Given Lady Zhong’s personality, she was too lazy to check other people’s scores.

“So you must work hard and not fall behind,” Lady Zhong’s tone became stern again, “In three days, someone from the Imperial Capital’s Mu Family will come. Wanwan, you must behave carefully; don’t leave the Mu family with a bad impression, understand?”

Zhong Zhiwan, recalling the disciplinary note she had received from school the day before, tensed up, her voice even lower, “Mom, I understand.”

“There’s a banquet next Friday,” Lady Zhong thought for a moment and advised, “You don’t need to concern yourself with that; just focus on your studies.”
