Cheng Yushu's words made everyone look curiously at Wen Xiangjie, including Yun Bozhong and Lu Dezong, who were sitting in the main seats.
It was well known that Wen Xiangjie's initial talent level was S-rank, but judging by her performance in the Magic Farm Game Copy, it was definitely not something a "normal" S-rank could achieve.
There was nothing to hide, so Wen Xiangjie answered openly, "My talent level is also SSS-rank."
Everyone had a feeling of 'as expected'.
Before this, they had only heard of S-rank Record Change talent; an SSS-rank Record Change talent was a first.
Compared to the S-rank Record Change, the SSS-rank Record Change's copied talents would surely be more powerful when used in the copy.
As for how Wen Xiangjie's S-rank talent upgraded to SSS-rank, and whose talent she copied, everyone present was intelligent; no one would be so tactless as to continue asking.
To achieve what they had today, who among them hadn't had some fortuitous encounter or golden finger?
"Thank you for the answer," Cheng Yushu said with a smile. "My self-introduction is finished. Next, please."
"Wei Zicheng, SSS-rank Slaughter Tracking." The boy sitting to Wen Xiangjie's left crossed his arms over his chest, his defiant gaze sweeping over Cheng Yushu opposite him and Wen Xiangjie to his right. As for the other students, he didn't even glance at them.
"I'm only interested in people stronger than me, until I can step on them," Wei Zicheng said with a grin.
Cheng Yushu, opposite him, smiled gently at Wei Zicheng.
Wei Zicheng let out a "Tsk" and turned his head to look at Wen Xiangjie, wanting to know her attitude towards his provocation.
What he saw was Wen Xiangjie looking at him with a look of indulgence, as if she were looking at an ignorant junior.
Wei Zicheng: ???
"What kind of look is that?!" Wei Zicheng instantly bristled.
"You're at that age where you're a bit chuunibyou, it's very normal, I can understand," Wen Xiangjie said to Wei Zicheng with a look of gratification. "At least among chuunibyou teenagers, you're already quite polite, much better than those 'crooked-mouth dragon kings'."
Wei Zicheng: ?
It sounded like a compliment, but something felt off. He'd listen more.
Wei Zicheng's self-introduction passed by in a daze, and it was the next person's turn, the girl sitting next to Cheng Yushu.
"Hello everyone, my name is Wang Zhizhen! My talent is SSS-rank All-Encompassing Communication. I never expected to get such good college entrance examination results; maybe it's because I was lucky and the college entrance examination copy was perfectly suited to my major!" Wang Zhizhen said happily, "It's a special honor to be able to enter the First Military Academy and become classmates with all of you!"
"Especially Wen Jie! Her college entrance examination score was too, too, too strong! The total damage of my critical hits in games, even 999, isn't that long! Wen Jie, you! Are! My! God!"
Wang Zhizhen placed her right hand over her chest and spoke to Wen Xiangjie with a look of reverence.
Although overly enthusiastic, she didn't come across as annoying; she was quite a cute young girl.
"No need to bow, no need to bow," Wen Xiangjie said with a smile, waving her hand at Wang Zhizhen.
The next boy to introduce himself wore glasses and was a bit shy: "My name is Ji Chenyu, and my talent is SS-rank Heart Abyssal Echo. I was also lucky to achieve such results in this college entrance examination. I hope everyone will take care of me in the future."
After a brief self-introduction, Ji Chenyu stopped speaking and quietly shrank his body, trying to reduce his sense of presence.
"My name is Qiu Meixin, SSS-rank Blood-Burning Battle Maniac. My favorite thing is combat." Qiu Meixin surveyed the room with beautiful eyes full of battle desire: "You are welcome to come and spar with me anytime. Now that everyone is level 10 and has their first skill, I am willing to help you familiarize yourselves with your skills in actual combat."
Besides Wen Xiangjie, who ranked first in the college entrance examination, Cheng Yushu was third, Wei Zicheng fourth, Wang Zhizhen sixth, Ji Chenyu ninth, and Qiu Meixin tenth.
These six were the top six among the top ten in this year's college entrance examination who entered the First Military Academy.
The remaining four also introduced their talents, all of which were SS-rank talents, showing that SSS-rank talents were indeed much more powerful than SS-rank talents.
Ji Chenyu was the only SS-rank talent among the top ten in the college entrance examination, which made everyone observe him a few more times.
Ji Chenyu quickly lowered his head deeply, looking very socially anxious.
"Everyone has finished their self-introductions, and I assume you all have a preliminary understanding of each other. So, I won't waste your time and will get straight to the point of why I called you here today," Yun Bozhong said.
Yun Bozhong's tone was somewhat serious, and all the students held their breath, looking at him intently.
"By sitting here, you are already qualified to know some information. Originally, except for the first fifty years after the game's invasion, the annual growth of game copies had stabilized at ten to twenty. However, in the past three years, the number of new game copies has suddenly surged again, from twenty-five the year before last, to thirty last year, and this year, barely halfway through, twenty new game copies have already been discovered."
"Our country's current number of strong individuals is limited, and they are already spread too thin to deal with the newly added game copies. Therefore, to cope with this situation, the First Military Academy has decided to restart the Ranking Plan."
"The Ranking Plan is to select talented promising individuals and concentrate limited resources on them, to cultivate them into new strong individuals in the shortest possible time, thereby alleviating the pressure on existing strong individuals, conquering as many game copies as possible, and protecting the safety of our Huaxia citizens."
"For you, this is both an opportunity and a challenge." Yun Bozhong looked at the ten freshmen in the small conference room with bright eyes.
"If anyone is unwilling, you may leave this small conference room now, but before leaving, you must sign a non-disclosure agreement. No one is allowed to reveal any information about the ranking battle."
The atmosphere was such that it was naturally impossible for anyone to leave now.
Having achieved such high college entrance examination scores and choosing to apply to the First Military Academy, who among those present didn't have the ambition to climb higher and become a strong individual?
They didn't see this as a challenge at all; it was a great opportunity, like a pie falling from the sky!
They were so eager to improve!
"Very good, then now, I will announce the rules of the ranking battle." Yun Bozhong nodded.
"As I said before, resources are limited, and a lot of resources are needed to quickly cultivate a group of strong individuals. Therefore, how many resources each of you can obtain depends entirely on your own performance."
"I see that some students don't seem very satisfied with their college entrance examination rankings. Well, now, your opportunity has arrived."
