Chapter 1976 - 1976: Admission Notice 1
Total score of four hundred, non-foreign language major, English not included, Xibao scored three hundred ninety-four points, mainly lost points in politics and Chinese, all other subjects were full marks, including English.
Including English, the score would be four hundred ninety-four points.
At this time, other than the student's own transcript obtained upon admission and the teachers who handled the transcripts, college entrance examination scores were not made public. Even when posting the list of those who passed the preliminary selection, only rankings were shown, determined by the number of points deducted. The one with the least deductions was naturally first, and so on. That's all, no one knew their own scores.
Even though that's all, the youngest, Lu Tianmao, being at the top of the list from the city high schools was shocking. This list included all candidates who took the exams from the high schools in the city, numbering in the thousands, not just the graduates from this high school.
Xibao did not look at that list and hadn't received the transcript at this time. Upon hearing Principal Zhou's words, he was slightly surprised, "First in the city? First in the province? The preliminary selection just concluded, and the whole province's statistics are already done? Impossible, Principal, don't kid me. According to my calculations, it will take some time for the transcripts to be released."
The college entrance examination, which had been suspended for ten years, once resumed, was no less than an earthquake.
Xibao and his family elders estimated that at least five million people across the country would take the college entrance examination. Just in their Huaibei City, there must be over one hundred thousand candidates. It's a large province, surely there will be a million-tally. How could provincial ranking be completely calculated in such a short time? It couldn't come out in less than a month.
Principal Zhou smiled wryly, "You're quite the quick thinker, no wonder you did so well."

After teasing, he spoke seriously, "Only your ranking came out early, I don't know other people's scores yet, because you have the least points deducted, full marks in three subjects, only deducted few points in two subjects. This directly alerted our city education department, and very soon the provincial education department found out too, partly because of the set of materials you compiled."
Tsk, once the news that Lu Tianmao is the provincial top scorer in the college entrance examination spreads, "Essential College Entrance Materials" will definitely be in even greater demand, maybe even sold nationwide, unlike now when it's only circulated in the city and neighboring provinces.
Xibao rubbed his head, "Just a fluke, just a fluke."
"When it comes to knowledge, there's no such thing as a fluke, only the result of accumulated effort." Principal Zhou, who had suffered from being sent down for reform through labor and was only recalled to his post years later, felt luckier than some scholars whose reputation had not yet been restored, "Your score is so good, you'll probably receive the admission letter among the first batch, stay home and wait patiently."
Xibao bowed deeply, his expression sincere, "Thank you for your tolerance these past two years. Even after graduation, if there's a chance, I'll visit you; please don't shut me out."
Principal Zhou chuckled, "You're the school's star, who would dare shut you out?"
The top scorer of the first restored college entrance examination will be remembered in history forever.
Xibao, feeling slightly embarrassed by the teasing, handed in the application form after filling in the college choices, and quickly found an excuse to leave.
"Don't forget the medical examination, the medical form needs to be submitted together with the application form." Principal Zhou called from behind.
"Got it, I'm going now!"
With a scarf covering half his face, Xibao finished the medical examination and quickly returned to Zhao Anbang's home.
