Chapter 39: It’s Actually You?
"I\'m sorry, but the information of super account students is confidential."
"Principal Li, it\'s not that I don\'t want to help, but I really don\'t have the authority to look it up."
"Director Du, I apologize, but I really can\'t help you this time."
"The confidentiality level of Your Grandpa\'s identity was raised to Class A just three minutes ago. Only our director has the authority to access it."
"Sorry, Your Grandpa\'s identity cannot be queried."
Both those making the calls and those answering them wanted to curse.
This damn student. Of all the names to choose, why did you choose the name, Your Grandpa?
Every time they mentioned the name, it felt like they were swearing, making the conversations incredibly awkward for everyone involved.
In the Director\'s office, Education Director Gao Changlin simply turned off his light-core device. Although the relentless barrage of calls was annoying him, he couldn\'t suppress his excitement.
The birth of a genius always brought countless honors. No matter which high school this genius belonged to, it would be an achievement for the city\'s Education Department as long as he was in Liuhe Base City.
For Gao Changlin, it was like a pie falling from the sky.
Gao Changlin connected to an internal line and said, "Assign someone to monitor the rankings and keep an eye on Your Grandpa\'s points. Report any changes to me immediately."
The most important thing in an era ravaged by star beasts were powerful individuals. Where did these powerful individuals come from? They were born from the youths in schools. The Great Xia Republic\'s government placed immense importance on education, as did the major martial arts families and clans.
There were dozens to hundreds of public and private schools in every base city across the country, all competing fiercely to produce martial arts powerhouses for the Great Xia Republic. As a result, schools, especially prestigious ones, held extremely high social status. The principals of these prestigious schools were like celebrities wherever they went, as they were openly respected and admired. Even the influential figures of the era deferred to them.
But producing genius students was an absolute prerequisite if one wanted to become a prestigious school. They had to achieve dazzling results in the various levels of the War God League.
The Great Xia Republic\'s School War God League, ranging from elementary, middle, and high school to university, had a history of three hundred and fifteen years. This was not unique to the Great Xia Republic. Different countries in various administrative regions under the Star Council also followed the same pattern. There were numerous domestic leagues, international leagues, and global leagues...
These competitions had a long history. They were well-established and comprehensive.
These rigorous and selective competitions allowed humanity to cultivate one star martial arts powerhouse after another. Some of these powerhouses had even gone on to reach the Saint level. This was how humanity had managed to carve out a space for survival on a planet ravaged by star beasts.
It was no exaggeration to say that the education sector was crucial to the survival of humanity. As such, a Director of Education like Gao Changlin would always take the emergence of a genius high school student seriously.

At the same time, Li Xiaofei was completely unaware of everything happening in the outside world.
Shortly after completing the third-level trial, he discovered that he had already earned the 500 points he needed for his agreement with Grandpa Qin, so he ended his frantic grind for points in the light-core device.
When he exited the mainframe, Li Xiaofei glanced at the other cockpits. The other members of his team were still immersed in the light-network world, looking every bit like internet-addicted teenagers.
"Although the light-network can simulate reality perfectly, it can only help with combat experience and enhance one’s technique proficiency. It cannot improve Starforce Cultivation," muttered Li Xiaofei. "Improving one\'s realm still depends on breathing techniques. So, it\'s important to distinguish between the virtual and the real world and not become addicted to it."
Li Xiaofei was very calm. The first thing he did was carefully assess his physical state. The intense fighting in the light-network virtual world, besides causing slight mental fatigue, did not bring any physical overexertion.
In other words, the virtual world hones one\'s spirit?
"School is over. I\'ll go home and ask Little Aunt for a massage."
However, Li Xiaofei was startled when he stepped out of the mainframe room. Principal Chen Fei and the multi-personality Grandpa Qin were squatting at the door like two guard dogs, their eyes red and expressions somewhat ferocious.
What had happened?
"Principal, Mr. Qin, what are you...?" he asked cautiously.
"Sigh, I\'m so envious," Chen Fei lamented. "There\'s another super genius out there."
"I\'m so envious it hurts," he added, sounding genuinely pained.
Gatekeeper Grandpa Qin also gritted his teeth and said, "Why can\'t the super genius be one of mine?"
Li Xiaofei was speechless.
Could this school have even one normal teacher?
"Well... you two can keep being envious. My aunt is calling me home for dinner."
Li Xiaofei cautiously sidestepped the two red-eyed men. After taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned back.
"Oh, right, Mr. Qin, I fulfilled my promise. Make sure to get my city exit pass ready for me."
With that, he quickly left.
"Pass?" Grandpa Qin scratched his messy hair, as he recalled their previous agreement.
Wait, this kid already got 500 points on the ranking? That couldn\'t be right. It’s barely been any time.
He opened his light-core device to check the rankings for the High School War God League. Although the identity information of super account holders was confidential, their ranking points were publicly displayed in real-time for anyone to see.
There was only one person with over 500 points on the ranking. It was none other than the storm-stirring user called Your Grandpa. When he scrolled further down, Li Xiaofei\'s name was nowhere in the top ten.
"Heh, getting 500 points isn\'t that easy. That brat dared to brag about completing the agreement and even tried to trick me... wait, what?" Grandpa Qin muttered to himself before he suddenly realized something.
A look of disbelief appeared on his face as he slowly turned to Chen Fei. The principal was staring intently at the light-core screen. The two men exchanged glances, seeing the shock and doubt in each other\'s eyes. Suddenly, they both let out excited shrieks like groundhogs discovering a cookie.
