Chapter 384: Notice! (Bonus!)
"Yahoo～I'm Gold Rank now!"
The surging spiritual energy had just dissipated!
Xia Yao excitedly rushed out of her room, leaping down from the second floor with a big jump!
Thump thump thump, she ran to Jiangnan's room, reached out her little hand, and said: "Hey～You promised you'd give me back my Spirit Bead once I reached Gold Rank!"
Jiangnan pouted his lips, looking very reluctant: "Here～"
Xia Yao snatched the Spirit Bead, pinched her nose, and made a funny face at Jiangnan!
"Poor little thing～"
"For over a month, using Pop Rocks and Black Garlic! Absorbing a Gold Rank Spirit Bead, but he just won't break through～"
"Want me to give you some encouragement?"
Jiangnan: (๑ತ‸ತ๑)
"Go away, go away! Get lost! You're the one cursing me!"
He got up and pushed Xia Yao out of the room!
Jiangnan was so worried he could die!
Xuexue had already reached Gold Rank five days ago!
During this time, Jiangnan had been using Pop Rocks + Black Garlic every day, writhing on the bed like a black loach!
But the bottleneck from Silver to Gold just wouldn't break!
"Yeah! It must be because I leveled up too fast that I got stuck!"
"Right! That's exactly it!"
[……]
[……]
[……(ಡᴗಡ)……]
Jiangnan: !!!
You freaking!
Laughing at me? This dumb system is actually laughing at me?
And it even gave me a manual "teehee"?
Can't tolerate this!
Gotta deal with it!
This is like it's rebelling!
Jiangnan was about to spend 10 million and have a father-son damage showdown with the system when a message suddenly came from his phone!
It was an invitation to join a group chat from Lin Chuqing!
Class group?
Jiangnan's eyes lit up!
Baby loves joining groups the most!
He clicked agree immediately!
Chuqing: "He's here, he's here!"
Lu Ming: "Boss Nan! We've graduated! Everyone's going their separate ways from now on, pursuing their own futures. Who knows when we'll meet again!"
"Tomorrow, let's have a meal together as classmates. Can you come?"
"Come on, come on! Let's take a group photo!"
"Right? When I get to college, I'll say I was in the same class as the national champion in high school. I'll have something to brag about!"
Jiangnan looked at the messages scrolling in the group, the corners of his mouth lifting into a slight curve.
Graduated, huh?
During the time Jiangnan had been frantically trying to reach Gold Rank,
the college entrance exam had ended, scores had been announced,志愿填报 was done, and even the admission notices had mostly been sent out!
Boss Nan: "Tomorrow, remember to all wear white briefs! If you can't drink anymore, you can pull them out and use them as white flags!"
"Arrogant!"
"Oh crap? I, the Iron Kidney Drunken God, refuse to admit defeat!"
"I, the Nightclub Little Prince, refuse!"
"I, the Invincible Little Whirlwind, refuse!"
"Hey! Everyone sit down! Boss Nan is the big shot who blew two bottles of champagne on the awards stage! You guys can't compare!"
"Haha... I'll accept that one!"
"Pfft haha! Was the champagne good?"
Jiangnan's face turned completely black!
Meow meow, just you wait for me!
Tomorrow, I'll knock you all down! Let you know what it means to be a human water pump!
"Oh yeah, Boss Nan! What college are you going to?"
"National champion! How could it be bad?"
"Haha! Lucky! I did okay too! Jingmen Spirit University! (photo)"
"You're not that great either! (photo) Modu Spirit University!"
Qin Shou: "Everyone move aside! I'm about to start showing off! (photo)"
It showed Qin Shou posting five admission notices! All from the top universities in the country!
"Crap! Awesome! The fifth-place team in the country, top universities are all scrambling for them!"
Yu Qingqing: "(photo) 8 pieces!"
Yingxue: "(photo) 12 pieces!"
Lang Mie: "(photo) 12 pieces!"
Wu Liang: "(photo) 12 pieces!"
At this moment, the whole class was dumbfounded!
What the heck!
Are you guys using admission notices to play Landlord?
Too strong!
For students who placed in the All-Star Tournament, the top national Spirit Martial universities naturally competed for them!
"What about Boss Nan? His notices should weigh a pound, right?"
"Probably! After all, the unit of measurement for immortals has always been pounds!"
Jiangnan: !!!
I freaking! I don't have any!
I don't have a single one!
He couldn't help rushing out of his room and shouting!
"Xuexue, Lang Mie! Where did you get your admission notices?"
Zhong Yingxue: "They came in the mail over the past couple of days?"
Xia Yao scratched her head: "Hmm～I don't know where I'm going anyway. I'm following you. Where are you planning to go?"
Jiangnan: ∑(°口°๑)
"I... I don't have any! I didn't receive a single one!"
Both of them were stunned!
How could there not be one? In the All-Star Tournament, Jiangnan could be said to be the MVP!
Top universities would definitely compete for a student like this. How could he not have one?
Jiangnan exploded!
Weren't they talking about something like the Pioneer Academy?
I didn't even take the college entrance exam!
And now, they've left me out?
Is my education going to stop at high school?
Just then, Jiangnan's phone rang!
"Hello! Is this Mr. Jiangnan?"
Jiangnan: "Yes!"
"We are Northwest Wind Express. There's a package for you! But I'm having lunch right now. I'll deliver it after I finish eating!"
"Alright!"
"Thanks for understanding!"
Jiangnan smiled: "No problem! That's what you should be thanking me for!"
"???"
[From Li Bin's Resentment Value +666!]
Jiangnan was excited!
The notice! It must be the admission notice, right?
Haha! I knew they wouldn't leave me out!
Zhong Yingxue smiled: "Wherever you go, I'll go!"
Xia Yao chuckled: "Look how scared you got. You're the national champion. How could they leave you out?"
Half an hour later, the delivery arrived!
Jiangnan tore the cardboard box to shreds like a madman!
Inside were four envelopes, each with the name of a member of Jiangnan's team, "Jiangnan Said It All."
Jiangnan's hands trembled with excitement!
He couldn't wait to tear open the envelope!
Inside was a piece of A4 paper folded in four!
He looked closely!
Jiangnan instantly turned to stone!
It clearly read:
"Pioneer Nursing Home Volunteer Interview Notice"
Working hours: Five days on, two days off! 8-hour shifts!
Salary: None!
Accommodation: Food and lodging provided, bring your own bedding and toiletries!
Job content: Clean the facility, care for disabled elderly, must have love! Responsibility!
Specific requirements: Please report for the interview on November 25th in Rongcheng!

Interviewee: Jiangnan!
Pioneer Nursing Home Personnel Office!
Official seal!
Jiangnan: (≖_≖|||)
Weren't they talking about the Pioneer Academy?
The most awesome, most mysterious academy in the country!
The kind you couldn't get into even if you wanted to!
How the heck did it turn into a nursing home?
And the promised admission notice?
I graduate high school and go straight to being a janitor? How is that acceptable?
You guys really tricked me!
The All-Star Tournament was a complete waste! The only Space Spirit Bead I got was one I grabbed myself!
Aaaaah!
At this moment, Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao were laughing like crazy!
How could it be a volunteer interview notice?
And it's free labor! The kind with no pay!
And Jiangnan had been so excited just now...
Jiangnan, who was about to explode on the spot, directly dialed the Secretary-General!
"Hey! Brother Jian! What's this Volunteer Interview Notice all about?"
"What about the promised university? The most awesome academy? Wasn't it supposed to be the champion's reward?"
Yang Jian: "Pfft～hmm! Ahem!"
Jiangnan: !!!
Laugh! You're still laughing!
"Ahem! You still need to go to this interview. This is the higher-ups cultivating you!"
Jiangnan was dumbfounded: "Huh? No! Are we really that short on janitors now? And volunteer?"
"I don't care! Whoever wants to go can go! I'm not going!"
Yang Jian: "Did you receive any admission notices from other universities?"
"No!"
"Beep beep beep～"
Yang Jian grinned. The Pioneer Academy had specifically requested Jiangnan. Which university would dare to accept him?
This janitor job, you really are stuck with it!
