Chapter 10 Accomplishments at School

Nie Yan did the questions, one after another, without much difficulty. It took him about an hour and a half to complete roughly half of the test. He looked up and noticed the others were still buried in deep thought. Glancing at his score, he had over seven hundred points. This was good enough. Continuing to score would be tantamount to being a monster, so he stopped.

The two-hour exam ended, and the scores appeared on the screen. Xie Yao was first with 763 points, Nie Yan second with 731, and third place seemed to have 590-some points. Many of the following scores were simply too awful to look at, with plenty of people in the 300s and 400s.

In reality, a score of 300 to 400 was already considered decent. The computer would evaluate the questions based on whether they were answered correctly or incorrectly. Getting a low score didn't necessarily mean incompetence. Everyone had subjects they excelled in, and the computer would give a fair judgment.

Seeing the results, Zhai Hao glanced at Nie Yan in the distance and couldn't help but mutter with frustration, "Damn, a monster!" Nie Yan was so strong in combat, and his academic performance was also so outstanding. It wouldn't be a problem for him to be specially recruited by the First Military Academy.

Xie Yao looked at Nie Yan with surprise. His academic performance was this good?

Yang Boyi, on the podium, revealed a satisfied smile when he saw Nie Yan's score. Earlier, in the office, he had heard that the new student Nie Yan had defeated Liu Rui, which surprised him greatly. Nie Yan had transferred from Ningjiang and reportedly gotten in by spending some money. He had assumed Nie Yan was just a poor student. He hadn't expected Nie Yan to have such good combat skills. He was definitely a good seedling worth cultivating. If his academics were a little better, he would definitely get into the First Military Academy. He hadn't expected Nie Yan's academics to be not only good but also on par with Xie Yao, who had the best grades in the class. He estimated that Liu Rui wouldn't even be able to get more than six hundred points on this paper.

"I didn't expect you to be so amazing," Xie Yao said to her new deskmate, a hint of surprise in her voice.

"It was alright," Nie Yan replied modestly. He knew he was taking advantage of his rebirth, so he always felt a little guilty.

In Xie Yao's and the others' eyes, Nie Yan's attitude was one of humility and composure.

Comparing Liu Rui and Nie Yan, the difference between them was immediately apparent. If Liu Rui had something going on, he couldn't wait for the whole world to know.

Xie Yao thought of Nie Yan (涅炎) from the game. He was always calm and composed, but he would only become decisive and assertive when the guild was provoked. Her thoughts wandered, and the two figures completely merged together.

Could they be the same person? Xie Yao's mind was in turmoil.

Yang Boyi glanced at Nie Yan, liking him more and more. From his observation, Nie Yan was much more composed than Liu Rui. Liu Rui's flamboyant personality wasn't very likable.

He really made a profit this time. There was hope for a year-end bonus, Yang Boyi thought to himself. Deciding to accept Nie Yan was truly a wise decision.

"Alright, that's it for today. Free time. Tomorrow we'll have our first official class, which is freestyle combat. Prepare yourselves," Yang Boyi said, explaining various class matters.

Yang Boyi called Nie Yan over to say a few words, mainly to tell him to integrate into the class as soon as possible.

This teacher was pretty good. During the reunions in his past life, his classmates often talked about him with respect.

When Nie Yan returned to the class, Xie Yao had already left. Nie Yan quickly chased after her, catching up with her at the school gate. She was chatting with five or six girls. Nie Yan unceremoniously squeezed into the group and joined their conversation.

"Xie Yao, let me take you home," Nie Yan asked for Xie Yao's opinion.

"Nie Yan, are you interested in Xie Yao? You're so enthusiastic. You have to put in the effort. There are at least eight thousand people pursuing Xie Yao in our school. Your current performance isn't enough," Xia Ling joked with a smile.

The other girls also started to criticize Nie Yan.

"Your appearance isn't handsome enough. Look at what you're wearing. If it's not Sollun, at least it has to be Karna. Otherwise, wanting to pursue our class's goddess is too shabby."

"Good grades are nice, but the most important thing for a man is to be gentle!"

The girls spoke without restraint, but they were just joking. They had to admit that Nie Yan was attractive in many ways—his composed temperament and his powerful skills. The kick Nie Yan used to send Liu Rui flying left a deep impression on them.

Nie Yan chuckled. These girls were too unrestrained. Nie Yan didn't need to hold back. Even if the matter of pursuing Xie Yao was out in the open, it wouldn't matter.

"My car is here. I have to go back first." In such an awkward situation, Xie Yao couldn't wait to escape.

Xie Yao said goodbye to everyone, met Nie Yan's gaze, quickly looked away, and got into the car.

The car drove away.

Her beautiful figure disappeared, and Nie Yan felt a sense of loss in his heart.

"Xie Yao left. Feeling disappointed? If you asked me out now, I might consider it," a girl who was quite pretty teased Nie Yan.

"Hey, that's not very loyal of you. Xie Yao just left, and you're already trying to steal her man," Xia Ling said, pushing her with a smile.

"It's called striking first to gain the upper hand," the girl retorted without hesitation.

These girls were too fierce. He had to escape quickly! Nie Yan looked into the distance and said, "My car is here. I have to go too."

Seeing his family's car arrive, Nie Yan quickly got in.

Watching Nie Yan's private car drive away, the girls revealed expressions of surprise.

"Looking at what he's wearing, you wouldn't think he's rich. He even has a personal driver and drives a Ruifeng 7 series car, which has to be worth two or three million."

"Rich people who wear bad clothes are just trying to be low-key..."

The girls discussed animatedly. Nie Yan's powerful skills, excellent grades, and good family background all contributed to his rising popularity in the girls' eyes, which suddenly surpassed Liu Rui's.

After getting into the car, Nie Yan wiped away his sweat. These women were too fierce. Going to school today was still very rewarding. He beat up Liu Rui, preventing him from going to school for a while, and also left a good impression on Xie Yao.

Looking at the time, it was still early. He first went to have lunch, then went to his parents' company. The company was already on the right track, and the speed was astonishing. Just like in his past life, Nie's father had quickly gathered a large sum of money by reselling metals, bought a building, and hired talent. The whole company quickly began to operate.

Although this metal reselling business was risky, the profits were definitely terrifying. Investing some capital, purchasing raw materials from abroad, refining them slightly in a factory, and selling them to several military enterprises could earn eight or nine times the profit. With the current level of transportation development, a round trip from the border to here only took two or three days. The speed of making money was faster than a printing press.

Moreover, they were the only ones who could do this business. There were no other competitors to worry about.

In his past life, his parents' company had developed at this crazy speed. With more money, the company couldn't continue to expand, so like many companies, they began to expand into other fields. Nie's father thought of the most popular virtual reality game, Faith, and his cousin A Chen was responsible for it. A plan was submitted to Nie's father's desk.

He couldn't dissuade his father, so he could only pay attention to the company's progress in Faith. In the future, a huge amount of capital would flow into Faith, and the War God Tribe's proposal had already begun to be discussed.

Due to the intense competition for Calore City, the starting development location for the War God Tribe would be in Nissod City, the second largest city in Greenland. They hadn't contacted the Ni Ren Tribe yet. The guild's name was still the War God Tribe. He didn't know how this life would develop. With the injection of powerful capital, it probably wouldn't be too bad.

Nie Yan would, at the appropriate time, explain everything he had built in the game to his parents. When the Ni Ren Tribe and the War God Tribe echoed each other in the future, that would be the time for him to defeat Cao Xu's forces!

Another thing that reassured Nie Yan was that, at his insistence, his uncle and aunt's group didn't enter the company. Although that group came to cry and make trouble several times, they were all strongly rejected by Nie's father. What were Nie Yan's parents working hard to earn money for now? Nie's father and mother both had a firm belief in their hearts, and that was to create excellent conditions for Nie Yan, especially now that Nie Yan was so promising, which made them feel gratified.

Even if Nie Yan's uncle and aunt were not good, Nie Yan's parents would still care about their family ties and forgive them. But they were not good to Nie Yan, which was unforgivable. Nie Yan was their nephew. How could they treat Nie Yan like this? What kind of family affection was there to speak of!

So no matter how they begged, Nie's father and mother didn't let them enter the company.

Nie Yan breathed a sigh of relief because these hidden dangers were removed. External troubles were not terrible, but internal worries were! If these people entered his parents' company, they would be a bunch of parasites!

After visiting his parents' company, Nie Yan felt a lot better. And he received news along the way that both the Calore City Central Auction House and the Calore City Mercenary Auction House had been bought by Nie Yan. The prices of 1,700 gold coins and 1,600 gold coins were much cheaper compared to his past life, but the prices were still very high. Because Nie Yan's price increase was too fierce, some big players withdrew. In their opinion, other virtual assets also had good appreciation potential and were no worse than the Calore City Central Auction House and the Calore City Mercenary Auction House.

However, in the eyes of Nie Yan, who had lived two lives, it was completely different. The Calore City Central Auction House and the Calore City Mercenary Auction House were definitely the two most profitable virtual assets!

Looking at the account balance, there were still more than 2,600 gold coins left, enough to continue competing for another place! He should first see which one was more cost-effective to buy.

After coming back and having dinner, it was almost time to go online. He didn't know what the result would be after the system upgrade.
