Chapter 1: The Underachiever with the Top Grades
Vagrli widened her eyes in surprise at the two 100%, which made her appear much more relatable and no longer so unattainable
The questions generally range from 15 to 25, covering various aspects of the subject. They simultaneously assess students' memory, logical thinking, analytical understanding, and other abilities, making them highly comprehensive and relatively difficult. Most students are deep in thought, staring at the screen, with their fingers gliding back and forth across it.
Vagri smiled faintly, not answering his question, but merely raised an eyebrow and inquired once more, maintaining politeness while also displaying a certain nonchalance.
No matter how good the grades are, they are merely secondary; what is most important are the subsequent stimuli and regular assessments
Student Shu Yu
The students quickly fell silent, and the bald teacher sternly surveyed the surroundings. He slowly walked to Shuyu's desk, glanced at the numbers on the table, and let out a long sigh in his heart
The invigilating teacher lowered their voice and asked him: "How is it going? How much have you done?"
When Shu Yu first arrived, he did not know who they were, nor was he aware of the school's routines. In an attempt to take a shortcut, he walked through this corridor. As he passed by, he specifically glanced at the contents of their bowls—an unappetizing brownish paste that not only immediately diminished one's appetite but also evoked strange associations. As he walked by, the group did not spare him a glance; some were looking up at the sky, others down at the ground, all fixated on an unknown direction. They scooped spoonful after spoonful of the brownish paste, continuously shoving it into their mouths. Some paused midway, their hands stopping as the sticky paste dripped down, falling onto their clothes, yet they seemed completely oblivious to it.

The sky of Morn Star is forever shrouded by a canopy, with blue skies and white clouds all simulated by computers. What lies beyond the canopy? ... Books say, television says, educational videos say, there exists an infinite starry sky, there are the hottest and the coldest places, there are unpredictable spatial turbulence, there are the grandest and the tiniest worlds
Between the teaching building and the adjacent building, there is a corridor shaded by greenery, with winding paths leading to secluded spots, creating a very beautiful environment. However, most students, when passing between these two buildings, choose not to walk through that corridor, preferring to take a longer route. Yet, each person, while taking the detour, cannot help but glance in that direction, only to turn their head away as if blinded, quietly pointing it out to others.
In the midst of this, there is a person who finds the *picture* book very easy. Whenever a segment of footage ends, he always taps his fingers lightly, providing answers at the fastest speed. The light screen illuminates his youthful face, revealing an extraordinary confidence and composure.
Main accuracy: 100%
With over a thousand students in the academy, she, as one of the top-tier abilities in the entire galaxy, views the cultural subject examinations merely as a game. While excellent grades would certainly be an added bonus, what does it matter if she performs averagely or even fails to meet the standard?
Yes, what impact will it have
He smiled with satisfaction, gently pressing his palm on the corner of the table, causing the light screen to disappear, leaving only the numerical scores and a complete progress bar displayed on the desktop. He stood up and walked out of the classroom. The bald teacher made a gesture to clear the way, giving him a slight smile, which he returned with a smile.
It is said that Vageri is the heir of an ancient family, and upon reaching adulthood, she will inherit a substantial amount of wealth, land, and status, truly making her a genuine "princess"
He stepped out of the teaching building and gazed at the sky. The sunlight was blinding, yet he did not shield his eyes
Chi Chuanle scoffed: "You are too lacking in ambition! I estimate it must be a D! You see, her waist does look quite slim, doesn't it..."
Today is the examination day that occurs every two months. After the exam, there will be a mutation stimulation guidance. Once the guidance program concludes, a routine assessment will be conducted to determine whether the students possess mutation abilities. If deemed to have such abilities, the intensity will be measured, and students will be reclassified based on the strength of their abilities and their usual performance. Additionally, student dormitories will be rearranged.
In the corridor sat several individuals, each distinctly different from ordinary people. Each person had an enormous head that swayed unsteadily, giving the impression that it might fall off at any moment. Their expressions were blank, and their eyes were always fixed on a single point, while they continuously held a large bowl in their hands, eating incessantly.
Shu Yu was fully focused on answering the questions, and the varied question types along with his confident responses always brought him great enjoyment. He studied diligently, had a solid foundation, and was inherently clever and resourceful. For his classmates, the questions were filled with traps, but for him, they were like small games.
Vagri said, "Don't you think this topic is more difficult than the previous ones?"
He changed the subject and whispered in Shu Yu's ear: "Let's not talk about the princess being so unattainable for now. What do you think of Wen Jing? I feel like she has a bit of interest in you! Wen Jing is also quite good-looking, and..." He lowered his voice, "Last time during PE class, her clothes got soaked with sweat. I checked it out for you, wow, very impressive!"
... ...
Moreover, even without mentioning the background, a seventeen-year-old Level 9 Evolver is extremely rare throughout the entire galaxy
The lifespan of intellectual evolutionaries is extremely short, and they are severely lacking in the ability to interact with normal individuals. However, such individuals are treasures of human development. They possess extraordinary strength in memory, calculation, and thinking abilities, leading to groundbreaking advancements in various disciplines due to their presence. Currently, students in Class 2 of the Seventh Intermediate Academy do not participate in the same examinations as other classes, and their scores are not included in the rankings
If Vagri could open an invisible door, she would be able to enter a new realm and become an S-level evolver. Those above S-level are collectively referred to as "super evolvers," and among nearly one billion people, a super evolver is a rare occurrence. Vagri reached level 9 before the age of eighteen, which signifies that one of her feet has already stepped onto the threshold of S-level.
Chi Chuanle looked over there and disdainfully curled his lips: "What meaning is there in their existence? If I were an intellectually evolved being, I would rather be at ease as a weakling!"
... ...
Shu Yu chuckled twice, remaining silent. He did not know what to say. To ordinary people like them, the intellectual evolutionaries indeed appeared somewhat frightening and pitiable, but who knows what their inner world is like? Moreover, although they are fleeting and have short lifespans, what about the wealth they leave behind, such as the exploration of the universe and the stars, or the extreme research into various fields of knowledge? What does that amount to? Furthermore, although they are fleeting and have short lifespans, what about the wealth they leave behind, such as the exploration of the universe and the stars, or the extreme research into various fields of knowledge? What does that amount to?
Shu Yu let out a bitter smile, looked up at the sky, and gently exhaled.
A few seconds later, the computer provided the results
Chi Chuanle and Wenjing are both classmates of Shu Yu, and they are in Class 8—the underperforming class at the Seventh Intermediate Academy of Moenxing. In all grades of Class 8, there is not a single Evolver.
A slight commotion arose in the classroom, with several students whispering to each other while looking at Shuyu's back. The bald teacher coughed sternly and said loudly: "Quiet! There are still half an hour left until the exam ends"
Later, Shu Yu was summoned by the academic affairs director and reprimanded harshly, accused of nearly injuring a valuable intellectual evolutionist. It was not until that moment that Shu Yu realized the identity of this group of big-headed children
Suddenly, he felt a weight on his back; Chi Chuanle was leaning on his shoulder, smiling as he said: "Oh, the princess is looking for you again! How can there be such a perfect girl in the world as a princess? Beautiful, gentle, and kind, yet so strong! I wonder who will be able to marry her in the future; that would truly be a blessing accumulated over eight lifetimes!"
Vagri remained silent for a moment, then smiled calmly: "There's no helping it, I've lost to you again. However, I will continue to strive for success next time!"
Shu Yu felt a wave of nausea. Halfway through, he was unaware of the shock his actions had caused others. Suddenly, a large-headed doll lunged at him, grabbing his hair and insisting on using a spoon to gouge out his eyes. Shu Yu was instantly filled with panic, desperately trying to break free from its grip. Fortunately, the large-headed doll lacked strength, and within a few moments, Shu Yu managed to shake it off, scrambling to escape the corridor. The doll chased him for a while, but in the end, he managed to shake it off.
She turned around, waved at Shu Yu, and walked away casually. It seemed that yet another failure did not have any impact on her.
Shu Yu followed the direction he pointed to and couldn't help but let out a soft "tch".
Suddenly, Chi Chuanle pointed to the corridor ahead and softly said: "Look, a big-headed doll!"
The feet of non-evolvers are forever shackled to the earth, with no interstellar travel, no space journeys, and they can never touch the world beyond the sky...
Forty-seven seats, forty-seven screens standing on a square table, constantly changing images. Each short segment of the image represents a question. In this era, the scale of electronic question banks is enormous, essentially ensuring that each student's exam paper is unique, effectively eliminating the possibility of cheating
Shu Yu was clearly the first to submit his paper. In the corridor, there was not a single other student besides him. He did not walk quickly; by the time he left the classroom, the smile on his face had already faded. The sunlight streamed in brightly through the glass windows on one side of the corridor, illuminating his slightly furrowed brow
Shu Yu could only feel a sense of helplessness. He smiled wryly and said, "Princess Wageri, you, a first-class student and a top-tier Evolver, always compare your grades with me, a non-Evolver. Is that really interesting?"
The invigilating teacher shook his head and said: "Hurry up and submit your papers, truly both accurate and fast"
What will the outcome be this time? This is the sixty-fifth opportunity, and there are only eight such opportunities left in total
The supervising teacher also sighed: "What a pity"
The classroom is silent, with not a sound to be heard
The supervising teacher paused for a moment, walked away slowly, and remarked, "What a pity for this student, Shu Yu!"
He is seventeen years old this year and has undergone sixty-four such stimulation sessions, which means they have been disappointed sixty-four times
"What are you helping me identify!" Shu Yu said with irritation, "You must be enjoying it yourself!" Chi Chuanle's lightheartedness lifted his mood as well. He lowered his voice and quietly asked, "But when you say there is content, what level are we talking about? B? C?"
Shu Yu shook his head
She was a remarkable young girl, whose astonishing beauty could hardly be encapsulated by the word "beautiful." However, what was even more captivating was her demeanor, which was gentle yet tinged with a hint of determination. It was an aura filled with immense confidence, as if nothing could ever sway her.
A group of students ... ... Level 9 Evolvers ... ...
She raised her hand, gently tucked her hair, revealing a questioning look in her eyes
Shu Yu looked at her, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. He lowered his gaze and nodded.
Shu Yu sighed and said somewhat reluctantly, "It's still the same as before"
Vagri Langley, the only Level 9 Evolver in the school, has reached the pinnacle of abilities for a student at this level. Because of this, she is respectfully referred to by her peers as "Your Highness, the Princess." Moreover, she possesses an innate noble demeanor, maintaining perfect etiquette at all times, much like a true princess
Completion rate of side quests: 100%
In this world, there exists a chasm; on one side are the evolved beings, and on the other side are the weaklings. The evolved beings possess various distinctions in addition to their mutation abilities, but as long as you have not evolved
The academic director spoke passionately, leaving Shu Yu feeling terrified, fearing that he might actually help to gouge out his own eyes to please those big-headed treasures. Fortunately, such actions are not permitted by school regulations. Since then, Shu Yu has only dared to avoid that corridor, and to this day, a big-headed doll occasionally appears in his nightmares, swaying as it chases him, holding a shiny spoon in its hand.

It is precisely due to the emergence of intellectual evolutionaries that human technology and * pictorial * books have developed to this extent in just eight hundred years, allowing humanity to step out of the Earth, which has existed for five thousand years, with footprints nearly covering the entire galaxy
Generally speaking, the levels of normal individuals are divided from level 9 to level 1, and these nine levels are referred to as the basic levels. The vast majority of people remain at this level for their entire lives. Before the age of eighteen, everyone can only possess basic abilities, making it extremely difficult to advance further. Therefore, at seventeen, Vagri has already reached the pinnacle of her extraordinary abilities.
Chi Chuanle chattered on, comparing the beauties of each class, while Shu Yu was occasionally amused to the point of laughter, and the unease hidden in her heart seemed to melt away like thin snow under the sunlight
A proctor passed by the quiet classroom, standing at the door to glance inside, his gaze also falling on this student. He hesitated for a moment, silently walked into the classroom, paced around to look at the surroundings, and then casually strolled to stand behind him for a short while. A minute later, he shook his head with a sigh and stepped out with measured strides
The invigilating teacher glanced in the direction of that student and sighed: "What a pity"
She has long, pale silver hair that cascades down like moonlight, with the ends gently brushing against her knees. Her eyes, as blue as the sky, are clear and lofty, reflecting a radiant smile at the corners of her lips. The uniform of the Seventh Intermediate College, featuring a black base with silver trim, has always been highly praised among students. On her, it accentuates her tall and slender figure, highlighting her skin's smooth and fair complexion.
A sound as clear as spring water rang out behind him. Shu Yu's pupils constricted, and after a moment's pause, he slowly turned around, looking somewhat deliberately indifferent at the person not far away.
He completed the twenty-five questions with remarkable ease, briefly reviewed his answers, added two details, and submitted his responses
A proctor was symbolically assigned in the classroom; this balding old man also watched the student with a kind gaze. A diligent student who performs well is always favored by teachers, regardless of the time.
Such an outstanding child is unfortunately a non-evolver
For humanity, intellectual evolvers are extremely rare; there are only seven in the entire Morn Seventh Intermediate Academy. Their brains develop with deformities, requiring a substantial supply of nutrients, which necessitates a constant intake of high-calorie foods. Even so, there are times when this is insufficient, at which point it becomes necessary to simultaneously administer high-concentration nutrient solutions intravenously
