Ch 68: Bai Zhengshu: If There’s No Cheating In My Subjective Consciousness, It’s Not Cheating!

“You say cheating is cheating?”

Fang Ran raised an eyebrow.

A nonchalant attitude.

Many people around were watching, and whispers of his words kept coming out.

Many people were shocked and felt somewhat unbelievable.

Lei Tianren happened to be among them; he had just arrived.

“Fang Ran couldn’t have cheated; I was in the same examination hall as him, and I can testify,” Lei Tianren said.

Some people in the crowd recognized him; he was also a top ten genius in the Unified Recruitment.

However, his expression was rather ferocious, making them dare not look too closely.

Bai Xiaoyu frowned and added, “With Professor Bai Zhengshu testifying, even if you don’t believe me, you can’t not believe Professor Bai, right?”

Bai Zhengshu, the master of beast taming history and culture who made millions of examinees tremble with fear?

Many beast tamers around obviously knew Bai Zhengshu; they had all secretly cursed him.

This statement made the facts seem more credible.

The second place in the Unified Recruitment cheating? That’s big news if it gets out!

“Oh? Bai Zhengshu said so?”

Fang Ran heard this and immediately understood.

So, this kid didn’t understand anything and was just waving a big flag?

“You…”

Shen Yun was about to say something, but seeing Fang Ran’s meaningful expression, she stopped her.

Then she looked at Bai Xiaoyu, as if saying, “Keep performing.”

“I can vouch for Elder Bai’s reputation; this matter is absolutely true!” Bai Xiaoyu was watched by a group of geniuses and felt lightheaded.

“Born! Who’s reputation are you using to vouch for!”

A trembling voice came from a distance.

Elder Bai’s eyes widened in anger.

Watching his decades-long reputation about to be destroyed.

He immediately took three steps as two and jumped to Bai Xiaoyu’s side, raising his hand and slapping him!

“Slap!”

After the slap, his hand trembled, and he felt relieved.

Fortunately, he chased fast enough; otherwise, if he had come later, who knows how far the situation would have developed!

“Grandfather Bai…” Bai Xiaoyu covered his swollen cheek.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

Didn’t you say he had a problem?

Why are you hitting me instead?

The Chief Inspector, seeing the scene, as a shrewd person, knew what had happened.

He hurriedly said, “Elder Bai! I always thought it was your order!”

He looked angry and sorry.

Then he quickly came to Fang Ran: “Fang Ran, I apologize; I failed to discern right from wrong and was deceived by a villain!”

Seeing his reaction, Fang Ran just wanted to say, “Nice.”

Two sentences cleared himself.

The Chief Inspector was also relieved that he hadn’t said anything excessive to Fang Ran.

As the top genius who came second in the Unified Recruitment, he would inevitably grow into someone he could only look up to in the future. It’s just a pity that after this incident, he wouldn’t be able to get closer to Fang Ran!

“Uncle, why are you…”

“Fang Ran, I’ll send him to the detention center for a month tomorrow. What do you think?”

Bai Zhengshu said.

Falsely accusing someone in the top ten of the Unified Recruitment would also be subject to a public order penalty!

Bai Xiaoyu suddenly looked incredulous.

Going to that place for a month was worse than killing him!

“Not good,” Fang Ran said indifferently.

Actually, Fang Ran was a little uneasy.

After all, he really submitted a blank paper.

Bai Zhengshu’s actions proved his innocence.

No, Fang Ran, you have to work hard to become an Emperor-Rank man!

“After enrollment, you’ll soon advance to Lord-Rank; I’m willing to compensate you with three S-grade Lord-Rank evolution materials!”

Bai Zhengshu said solemnly.

Actually, he could understand Fang Ran’s feelings.

As someone from a small city, he finally came to his dream Imperial Capital Academy through hard work!

As a result, he was suspected and troubled as soon as he arrived. After cooperating honestly, he was stopped twice, inevitably feeling resentful!

This compensation is only a small token of apology.

In the future, he would probably have to pay much more to barely appease his resentment.

However, the beast tamers around widened their eyes.

Did they see correctly?

This old man actually apologized to Fang Ran?

Although the old man deserved to die, he was still a famous person in the Imperial Capital!

“Three S-grade Lord materials, how much does that cost?”

“Cheap ones are at least 50 million… If they are rare, you probably can’t get them for less than hundreds of millions.”

“Damn, the Bai Family is really rich; worthy of being a family with an Imperial Beast Tamer!”

“I heard that the first thing after enrollment is to advance to Lord-Rank; isn’t this a freebie?”

“What Lord-Rank needs hundreds of millions for evolution? Is beast taming made of gold?”

Many beast tamers were envious.

They could already spend tens of millions of their family’s resources on evolution, which was their limit.

More beast tamers even had to take out loans to buy evolution materials!

“Dissatisfied?” Bai Zhengshu looked at Fang Ran’s furrowed brow, feeling uneasy.

“No, it’s just that although I didn’t cheat actively, is it possible that I cheated unintentionally?” Fang Ran felt a little guilty.

Unintentionally?

Did he guess that someone wanted to harm him and altered his test paper?

Or… did he think that keeping all the knowledge in his head and bringing it into the examination hall counted as cheating?!

The brain circuits of geniuses are indeed unusual!

Bai Zhengshu concealed his shock, took a deep breath, and said:

“Cheating without subjective intent doesn’t count as cheating.”

Hearing this, Fang Ran was relieved.

The master said so, then it doesn’t count.

A moment later.

Bai Zhengshu left with the boy whose face was contorted and almost crying.

The surrounding beast tamers became even more curious about Fang Ran’s identity.

Was he really a beast tamer from a small city?

Why was even Bai Zhengshu so polite to him?

…

At this time.

In the Imperial Capital Academy.

“Fang Ran is already here?”

Lin Qinghuan’s heart beat faster.

“What? Aren’t you going to find him now, Qinghuan?” Her friend Du Zhuan said.

“If you don’t hurry, the tender grass will be eaten by an old bull!”

Hearing this.

Lin Qinghuan said calmly:

“He won’t, he… has special preferences.”

“Also, freshmen will be ranked as soon as they enroll. I want to see how far he can go.”

“No… I won’t eat him either!” Lin Qinghuan hurriedly added.

“Xiao Ran is only at the High-Rank Late-Stage, right? This is too dangerous.” Her friend said silently.

Lin Qinghuan suddenly realized.

Right!

Fang Ran was only in High School First Year.

His current level was only High-Rank Late-Stage, far behind others.

His low evolution level might make Fang Ran unable to keep up with other beast tamers!

“There are a total of over 300 freshmen; will he still be in the top ten after a month?”

Her friend was even more doubtful than Lin Qinghuan.

The resources in the Imperial Capital were always tilted towards the top 100; the higher the ranking, the stronger the strength, and the stronger the strength, the higher the ranking!

In the first month, the key moment of advancing to Lord-Rank, ranking is the most important!

How could a beast tamer whose evolution level was already behind others compete with those who had already reached High-Rank Late-Stage?

“Then… as long as he can stay in the top 100, I’ll go help him!” Lin Qinghuan gritted her teeth.

How can you see a rainbow without experiencing the storm?

If she intervened from the start, it might not be good for Fang Ran.
