The data on the screen began to scroll rapidly.
【Personal Kills Ranking First: Pei Linchuan】
【Personal Damage Taken Ranking First: Zhou Ye】
【Personal Destruction Ranking First: Tang Li】
Gasps echoed all around.
These three people were too fierce.
Jiang Wangzhi was not jealous at all; instead, she was quite gratified.
Right, right, right.
Let them be strong.
She would be useless as she pleased.
Next was the comprehensive evaluation ranking that would determine who stayed and who left.
The large screen flickered.
Several lines of golden characters heavily slammed into everyone's line of sight.
【Tactical Contribution Evaluation: Jiang Wangzhi (First Place)】
【Team Survival Rate Evaluation: Jiang Wangzhi (First Place)】
【Crisis Management Evaluation: Jiang Wangzhi (First Place)】
【Comprehensive Final Ranking: Jiang Wangzhi (First in the Entire School)】
The air was dead silent.
The silly smile on Jiang Wangzhi's face froze bit by bit.
It was as if she had been doused on the head with minus fifty-degree ice water.
She widened her eyes.
Staring fixedly at those three dazzling "First Place" spots on the screen.
Tactical contribution?
Survival rate?
Comprehensive first place?!
Is this damn system sick in the head?!
I didn't swing a single blade or fire a single gun!
Why on earth give me first place!!
The surrounding new students began to whisper, their gazes successively turning toward Jiang Wangzhi, who was sitting in the mud.
Their eyes were filled with shock and admiration.
"Comprehensive first place..."
"Such good timber for a commander."
"How miraculous, who would dare call her a good-for-nothing from now on?"
Tang Li looked at the screen, couldn't help laughing out loud, and walked over to slap Jiang Wangzhi heavily on the shoulder.
"Not bad, Eldest Miss, keeping your abilities hidden!"
Zhou Ye opened his mouth wide in shock and gave a thumbs up: "Commander Jiang, awesome!"
Xie Zhi yawned, sobered up for once, and said faintly: "First in the entire school, can the daily food standard be raised a bit from now on?"
Pei Linchuan quietly looked at her.
Without speaking.
But the approval in his eyes was heavier than any words.
Meanwhile, Han Zheng in the distance stared fixedly at the screen, his expression already extremely ugly.
He had lost.
Lost completely and thoroughly.
Not even a fig leaf was left.
Everyone felt this was a perfect counterattack.
Only Jiang Wangzhi alone.
Her mind was buzzing.
Her heart was bleeding.
First in the entire school?
What about my dropping out?
What about my tens of billions in family assets?
What about the promised elimination due to insufficient ability?!
You guys are cutting off someone's financial path, which is equivalent to killing their parents, do you understand!
"Jiang Wangzhi."
The chief examiner in charge of this assessment, a burly man with a scar on his face, strode toward her.
The surrounding new students immediately quieted down and automatically made way.
The instructor walked up to Jiang Wangzhi.
Looking down at her.
"You stay."
"Everyone else, board the ship and return to the school."
Jiang Wangzhi's heart grew cold.
Stay?
Could it be that the system finally found out her points were calculated wrong?
And was preparing to separately announce her elimination decision?
Jiang Wangzhi's eyes lit up, and she suppressed her excitement as she stood up.
"Instructor... why?"
The scar-faced instructor didn't speak.
He pulled out a paper top-secret document stamped with the military's red seal from his bosom.
With a "pa" sound.
It was slammed heavily onto the rock in front of Jiang Wangzhi.
The instructor looked at her with a trace of rare fanaticism in his eyes.
"Someone has taken a fancy to you."
"The military academy's highest-level tactical command major."
The instructor paused and said word by word:
"This is the first one this year, issued directly by the military department..."
"Special recruitment early recommendation letter."
The wind blew across the D-4 Mining Area.
Stirring up a cloud of sand and dust.
Jiang Wangzhi lowered her head to look at that bright red recommendation letter.
Dumbfounded.
Her lips trembled slightly.
"... Ah?"
...
Temporary assembly point.
Inside the chief examiner's exclusive tent.
Jiang Wangzhi sat in the chair, looking at the paper recommendation letter stamped with the military's red seal on the table.
Unable to catch her breath for a long time.
Special recruitment.
Early recommendation.
Tactical command major.
These few words added together were like three mountains, heavily pressing down on her heart that only wanted to drop out.
The scar-faced instructor stood opposite her, and seeing her dumbfounded appearance, thought she was overjoyed.
After all, throughout the entire Federal First Military Academy, not even a few new students could get this recommendation letter in a year.
This was supreme glory.
"Take it." The instructor's tone softened slightly.
Jiang Wangzhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
She raised her head with difficulty, looked at the instructor, and asked cautiously:
"Instructor... can I not have this letter?"
The air in the tent suddenly quieted down.
The scar-faced instructor was stunned.
He had led so many batches of new students, and had seen those who wailed and cried because they weren't selected, and those who fainted with excitement upon getting the recommendation letter.
He had simply never seen anyone trying to push this thing away.
"What did you say?" The instructor frowned.
"I don't think I'm suited for it." Jiang Wangzhi quickly explained, her tone very sincere, "Instructor, look at my thin arms and legs, my physical fitness test is at the bottom of the entire school. Tactical command is a core position, I can't handle it."
"Besides, my getting first place this time was purely a coincidence."
The scar-faced instructor stared at her for a full ten seconds.
Then, he sneered.
Directly tapped the terminal on his wrist.
A holographic screen popped out and hovered in front of Jiang Wangzhi.
What was playing on it was precisely the miniature surveillance footage of five people battling three Armored Rhinoceroses at the bottom of the D-4 Mining Area pit.
The footage was slowed down.
Accompanied by densely packed data analysis charts next to it.
"Good luck?"
The instructor extended his thick finger and tapped the screen.
"Three General-class Star Beasts at the bottom of the pit, the scene was as chaotic as a pot of porridge."
"Tang Li and Zhou Ye's positioning was on the verge of throwing their lives away several times."
"And you, within a short span of three minutes, issued seventeen consecutive tactical commands."
The instructor's voice suddenly rose, exuding unquestionable majesty.
"Every single time!"
"Every single one of your commands precisely jammed into the blind spot of the Star Beast's attack motion transition!"
"If this can also be called luck."
"Then you tell me, how did you guess right seventeen times in a row?"
Jiang Wangzhi looked at that high-definition, uncensored surveillance footage that captured even her eye-rolling expression at the time clearly.
Completely fell silent.
This damn school.
In the middle of nowhere, the surveillance equipment was installed denser than streetlights.
Is there still any talk of personal privacy?
She calculated every single thing, but never expected the school's review system to be so hardcore, exposing her completely.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the instructor simply assumed she was being modest.
"Alright, stop pretending. With this brain, practice your physical fitness well, you'll be good timber in the future."
"Put the letter away and go out."
Jiang Wangzhi's heart turned to ashes.
Picking up that letter, like dragging a dead rat, she walked out of the tent like a wandering soul.
...
The sky outside had completely darkened.
The people in the square had mostly dispersed, leaving only a few transport ships preparing to wrap up.
Tang Li, Zhou Ye, Xie Zhi, and Pei Linchuan—these four people actually hadn't left.
They were still standing in the open space outside waiting for her.
As soon as Zhou Ye saw Jiang Wangzhi come out, his eyes instantly widened into round circles.
He rushed forward in a few steps, his loud voice roaring directly:
"Commander Jiang! You are too awesome!"
"First place! School-wide tactical first place! You've brought great face to our Team 079!"
Jiang Wangzhi shuddered in fright and quickly rushed forward to cover his mouth.
"Keep it down!"
Zhou Ye had great strength, pried her hand away, and was still shouting excitedly:
"What is there to be afraid of! You're in first place after all!"
"Shut up!"
Jiang Wangzhi's face turned black, and she glared at him through gritted teeth.
"If you shout one more word, I'll fight you to the death!"
Xie Zhi, standing in the back, leaned against a dilapidated transport vehicle.
Yawned a huge yawn.
He half-squinted his eyes, looking at Jiang Wangzhi's expression of imminent breakdown.
"Why does she look like she's about to cry?" Xie Zhi asked lazily.
Tang Li hoisted the heavy blade onto her shoulder and rolled her eyes heavily.
"You'll get used to it."
"This person's brain is sick. Whenever her points go up, she has this dead expression."
"Anyone who didn't know would think her family went bankrupt."
Pei Linchuan stood aside, pushed up his glasses, and didn't speak.
He merely glanced at Jiang Wangzhi with a deep gaze.
