The True Heiress Is an All-Powerful Bigshot - Chapter 193

Chapter 193: 186 Slapping the face on the spot, do you deserve it too? [1 more update]

“…”

This name seemed to take away all the surrounding sounds.

He Xun’s mind was once again blown into a blank, and he could hardly stand steady.

His fingers holding the photocopy of the admission notice trembled non-stop.

Although He Xun was a student from a D-level faculty, and he couldn’t get access to the core of Norton University, he knew that the SS-level faculty had not enrolled any students for a long time.

So, Wen Tinglan was the only SS-level student that Norton University had admitted in the past three years!

Seeing He Xun in a daze, the professor directly snatched the photocopy of the admission notice from his hand.

With the paper gone from his hand, He Xun gradually came back to his senses, his voice straining with difficulty, “Can a school trustee… simply stuff someone into the SS-level faculty?”

If it wasn’t for Ying Zijin giving Wen Tinglan a backdoor entry, could he even enter the SS-level faculty, especially the Mechanical Department?

Even if he was convinced that Wen Tinglan could get into Norton University, at most he would belong to a A-level faculty.

SS-level?

He simply wasn’t qualified.

“Mr. He, have you started talking nonsense due to a fever?” upon hearing this, the professor almost laughed out of anger, his expression cooling down, “The school’s enrollment rules are set by the principal and are never changed or compromised for anyone.”

He simply moved the computer over, placed it in front of He Xun, and pointed to a document.

“Wen Tinglan, IQ 228, second only to those few genius scientists in history, he has very strong hands-on ability and can restore a three-layered magic cube within three seconds.”

“At the age of five, he was already able to disassemble a broken Walkman, remove the broken parts, reassemble it, and continue listening to it.”

The professor ended calmly, “Mr. He, would such a genius need to enter the SS-level faculty through the back door?”

If he wasn’t highly suitable, Ying Zijin wouldn’t have sent Wen Tinglan to the Mechanical Department.

Anyhow, she had ruled out the Alchemy Department and the Supernatural Department right away.

Even a normal person entering these two faculties would end up mad.

The technology at Norton University is far ahead of the outside world, and the contributions of the students and professors of the Mechanical Department are indispensable.

He Xun looked at the records on the document, his lips moved, but he couldn’t utter a single word.

With such powerful analytical abilities, Wen Tinglan truly was a genius among geniuses.

“By the way, Mr. He,” the professor adjusted his glasses, “I heard that after your graduation, you chose to be a high school teacher, and the school where you teach seems to be the same one attended by student Wen Tinglan, right?”

He Xun still did not respond.

An unprecedented wave of regret surged through his heart, almost to the point of bursting.

He could even imagine that if he hadn’t taken away Wen Tinglan’s interview qualification, but instead brought Wen Tinglan to Norton University.

Then he would be the first teacher to have taught an SS-level student.

Not only would his degree not have been revoked, but he would also have had the opportunity to stay at the university.

But now, he had nothing.

Without the degree from Norton University, top high schools in Hua Country like Verdant Middle School would never hire him.

He was practically without a place to go.

“I’ve delivered the message, I need to go teach my students now,” the professor looked at his watch, “Mr. He, I just want to remind you, the last train tonight is at 9:30 PM, don’t miss it.”

The external internet and internal network of Norton University are different.

The internal network is only accessible to the university’s students and professors, while the external internet is open to the whole world.

Being the world’s top-ranked university, Norton University’s campus website naturally attracts a lot of attention from the outside world.

Even if it’s just an announcement about revoked degrees.

Last year there was one too, but it didn’t include names, only numbers.

But this year was quite different. One sentence in the announcement read —

[After careful consideration by the school, it has been decided to revoke the degrees of 679 students, including He Xun.]

The name He Xun suddenly caught the attention of many, including some big shots.

But at most, they just had an impression, and would forget in a few days.

Was a person whose degree had been revoked by Norton University worth their remembrance?

Not at all.

But on Verdant Middle School’s side, due to He Xun taking three students to interview at Norton University, there was somewhat more attention.

“Principal, we’ve been deceived!” the Academic Affairs Director slammed the desk, fuming, “Norton University gave us a few years of buffer time. If there was no buffer period, He Xun couldn’t even have obtained his degree.”

“In this case, he doesn’t count as a graduate of Norton University at all.”

It infuriated him.

He also oversaw the school’s finances.

Originally, Verdant had employed He Xun at a high price, with a monthly salary of 180,000.

The Academic Affairs Director felt as though he had thrown his money to the dogs.

“It’s just as well.” The principal nodded, “Otherwise, I would have to question the quality of education at Norton University.”

If the truth hadn’t been exposed at the end, he wouldn’t have known that He Xun could pressure several underperforming students into transferring schools.

The academic director grew more and more angry, “No, I’m going to accuse him of fraud!”

Having said this, he huffed out of the principal’s office.

Over here.

Ying Zijin got her medicine furnace.

The furnace was not big, fitting snugly into her backpack.

From the medicinal materials department’s garden, she picked some herbs.

The Medicinal Materials Department is an S-level faculty, and its graduates, even the poorest, are chief physicians at major hospitals around the world.

Alchemy is also a compulsory course in the Medicinal Materials Department.

After Ying Zijin collected the herbs, she finally looked up, “It’s been seven days, where’s Norton?”

The outside world didn’t know that the name of Norton University sounds very high-end and classy, but in fact, it was casually named by a certain principal who used his own name.

“Eh? I haven’t seen the principal for a long time either,” the vice principal seemed to just remember this matter, “It seems like it’s been a few months.”

The failure to enroll new SS-level students was also because this Alchemist Lunatic Norton kept disappearing, never focusing on running the school properly.

“It seems,” Ying Zijin nodded slowly, regretfully, “alchemy can’t cure senile dementia either.”

The vice principal who felt like he just got stabbed in the heart: “…”

“No, you can’t blame me for this.” The vice principal really felt innocent, “You know that once the principal starts with alchemy, he locks himself in his room and doesn’t come out.”

“He has placed quite a number of toxic substances around his room. I dare not approach it, and over time, I forgot about him.”

He was studying supernatural science and was utterly clueless about alchemy.

Ying Zijin shouldered her backpack, expressionless, “Take me to see.”

The vice principal knew that this prominent figure before him mastered both alchemy and ancient medicine.

But her most outstanding skill was using poison.

Therefore, without thinking twice, the vice principal immediately led the girl to the location.

It was a very tall tower. Even in the fervent afternoon sunlight, it conveyed an oppressive feeling.

Ying Zijin looked around, “This way.”

The vice principal hurriedly followed, jumping into the tower like playing hopscotch.

Ascending the spiraling staircase floor by floor, they reached the top.

Ying Zijin took out a pair of white gloves from her pocket, put them on, and then placed her hands on the door, pushing it open.

The wind rolled in through the uppermost window, rustling the scrap paper on the floor.

There was no one.

Ying Zijin closed her eyes for a moment, then a few seconds later, turned her head, “Where’s the person?”

She had just checked the past ten or so days, and there was no change here.

That meant, Norton had left a long time ago.

The vice principal strode in, surprised at the sight inside, “I swear, the last time I saw the principal, he was right here, and he definitely never went out.”

Ying Zijin replied indifferently, “Even if he did go out, you would not have noticed.”

The vice principal shut his mouth.

Indeed.

Norton was not only highly skilled in alchemy; he also knew face-changing.

The NOK forum even had a ranking for face-changing artists; even though Norton was not listed, his face-changing technique was definitely not inferior to the top five.

A face-changing artist of this level could easily alter their form.

Ying Zijin lowered her eyelashes, pondering for a moment, “Tarot Cards, bring them.”

The vice principal was startled for a moment but quickly ran out to fetch the Tarot Cards from the Astrology System.

The Tarot Cards circulated in the market are fake, but those in Norton University are genuine.

Before long, the vice principal returned.

He carried several boxes, “Take a look and see which kind you need.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Ying Zijin casually picked a box, “It won’t make a difference.”

There are a total of 78 Tarot Cards, 22 in the Major Arcana and 56 in the Minor Arcana.

She was using The Major Arcana.

After shuffling the cards, she laid out 22 of them in a row on the table.

Ying Zijin bowed her head, her hand slowly sweeping over the cards from above.

Three cards were automatically drawn into her palm.

She placed these three cards aside and turned over each one.

When the vice principal saw the first two cards, he was still composed.

But when the third card appeared, his face instantly changed.
