The Alluring Boss O's Slacker A (Transmigration GL) - Chapter 4
“In the second half of their senior year, many students choose military group internships. For you to suddenly say you want to change majors, isn’t it too late?” Counselor Teacher Li put down the application form and looked at Wen Jin, perplexed: “Did you encounter any difficulties in your studies?”
Teacher Li Xuezhen didn’t have much of an impression of Wen Jin. Wen Jin’s academic performance was below average, her physical ability was just barely up to standard, and her fighting skills were even more lacking.
The Ancient Martial Arts Department had an in-grade student points ranking.
Wen Jin ranked at the bottom, with credits only in the double digits. This meant she would be unemployed upon graduation.
Li Xuezhen had originally thought that since Wen Jin was always with Luo Xi—an S-rank Alpha genius from the Luo family, one of the four great families whose future was limitless, especially since Luo Xi’s father had recently led a mercenary group that discovered Senad Star, making an outstanding contribution to the inter-stellar—the whole school knew Wen Jin would follow Luo Xi and have a comfortable life.
Since her future was so clear, why was Wen Jin so determined to change majors?
It concerned a student’s future, so Teacher Li decided to try and persuade her again.
The result…
“Teacher.” Wen Jin’s red lips slightly parted, and she delivered the prepared speech with heartbreaking sincerity: “I apologize deeply for disappointing your effort to retain me. My physical ability is poor, my spiritual power is also weak, and my family background is not presentable. Last month, my father sold our house to pay gambling debts, and life is urgent. After much consideration, I have finally decided to choose a major that can help me earn money quickly.”
Wen Jin was stating a fact. Between food and ideals, she should indeed choose the former.
Li Xuezhen did not try to persuade her further this time.
It was widely known that the process of cultivating Ancient Martial Arts was incredibly expensive.
Ancient Martial Arts is divided into Innate and Acquired, but even the highest Ancient Martial Arts master only exists at the Acquired Heaven-rank level.
The Acquired level is further divided into Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow ranks. For every rank upgrade, in addition to dedicated self-cultivation and fighting experience, pharmaceutical assistance is required.
However, pharmaceuticals are the most precious things in the Federation. The higher the rank, the rarer the herbs and plants required for the medicine, often making them priceless and hard to find.
Even with a formula and raw materials, there isn’t a single god-tier pharmacist in the entire galaxy.
This is why no one in the inter-stellar Ancient Martial Arts cultivation has broken through the Acquired level yet.
“So, do you want to switch to the Service Department?” Teacher Li asked.
The Service Department generally trained high-end restaurant staff or salespeople.
Students from this department, if they learned their etiquette well, were employed upon graduation. The only drawback was low wages.
As soon as Teacher Li finished speaking, she saw Wen Jin shake her head firmly twice.
“Electronic Computer Science?” As soon as Teacher Li finished her sentence, she immediately dismissed the idea: “If you transfer in your senior year, I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep up, and you might not even get your diploma.”
Wen Jin knew Teacher Li was looking out for her, but she felt that none of Teacher Li’s suggestions were suitable for her goals of Sun, Beach, and Wolfberry Tea.
So, she took the initiative: “I want to transfer to the Pharmacy Major. Would you please sign the application for me?”
Teacher Li was shocked, and her pen clattered onto the desk.
“What?”
Everyone in the inter-stellar knew how difficult it was to get into the Pharmacy Department.
It required not only talent but also profound knowledge and the ability to identify various medicinal herbs and plants.
Aside from these, one also needed to endure loneliness and possess boundless love for pharmaceuticals.
Spending all day in the lab, constantly adjusting reagents in bottles and jars on the testing table, was tedious and boring.
Many pharmaceutical researchers spent their entire lives without achieving anything significant.
But even so, inter-stellar students were still flocking to Pharmacy.
Because upon graduation, they could work at a local or Capital Star research institute.
They would receive comprehensive insurance, high- and low-temperature subsidies during winter and summer, and if they were lucky enough to participate in a research project and discover a formula, their name would be directly written on the Interstellar Celebrity List for display.
Teacher Li was shocked by Wen Jin’s unrealistic idea of getting rich quickly. She narrowed her eyes and adopted a teacher’s stance to explain the difficulty to Wen Jin.
“Do you know how many A/O students with S-rank spiritual power or higher try to enter the Federal University Pharmacy Department every year?”
Wen Jin shook her head.
“Thirty billion.”
Wen Jin murmured, “Oh,” that was a bit exaggerated.
Teacher Li thought this number had successfully deterred Wen Jin, but Wen Jin managed a slight smile and pulled a wrinkled transfer exam score sheet from her pocket.
The score was clearly written on the crumpled paper that she had painstakingly flattened:
Pharmacy Department Transfer Examination.
Prospective Transfer Student: Wen Jin.
ID: 21832
Score: 60
Evaluation: Excellent, with unique insights into Old Earth plants.
Teacher Li’s hand trembled as she held the test paper. She looked at Wen Jin as if she had found a shining piece of gold.
This look of reverence made Wen Jin shiver, even making her wonder if she had submitted a perfect score sheet.
She stroked her chin, her mood inexplicably subtle. She had clearly scored exactly sixty points, not one point more than the passing grade.
How could she still be so stunningly impressed?
In Wen Jin’s mind, the passing score was the admission score. Sixty points—no more, no less, just right. If she met the line, she could transfer.
Afterward, she would muddle through and become an inconspicuous Pharmacy student.
In another six months, even if the Wen family didn’t come for her, she could rely on her degree to find a small research institute, take the most guaranteed insurance, work the most regular three-shift schedule, and then live out her days comfortably in retirement.
That would also be beautiful.
But… why did scoring sixty points make her seem like a world-class genius in the eyes of a Federal University teacher?
The way this was unfolding felt wrong, didn’t it?
Wen Jin felt a touch of frustration.
However, her frustration didn’t last long, as a conversation between a teacher and a student at the next table immediately interrupted her thoughts.
“I understand you just differentiated and your pheromones are unstable, but suppressants and blocker patches can prevent an Omega’s pheromones from overflowing during their heat cycle.” Teacher Cui was not as relaxed as Teacher Li. He furrowed his thick eyebrows, looking as if he were about to crumble Ruan Tingzhi’s transfer application and toss it into the trash can.
What a brilliant prospect! Ruan Tingzhi had ranked first in grades every year for four years, and before her delayed differentiation, her fighting skills were already at max level.
Although Ruan Tingzhi’s gender was Omega after she differentiated a few days ago, her spiritual power was S-rank!
In the entire Federation, the number of A/Os with S-rank spiritual power could be counted on one’s fingers. Cultivating Ancient Martial Arts would yield twice the result with half the effort.
Talents like Ruan Tingzhi would be fiercely sought after by the four great Ancient Martial Arts families, the Federal Military Group, or mercenary organizations. Her future was limitless.
Teacher Cui never expected his most promising star student to want to change majors. He looked distraught, cleared his throat, and prepared to continue persuading her.
Then Ruan Tingzhi spoke.
“Teacher,” Ruan Tingzhi used the exact same speech as Wen Jin, with the same sincerity: “Thank you very much for your guidance over the past four years. Although my physical ability is excellent and my spiritual power is high, my family background is not presentable. Last month, my mother sold our house to pay gambling debts, and life is urgent. After much consideration, I still hope to choose a major that can help me earn money quickly.”
Teacher Cui: “…”
“You don’t need to worry about the transfer. I passed the transfer application exam.” Ruan Tingzhi lifted her eyes, suddenly turned her head, and her gaze collided with Wen Jin’s across the room.
She revealed a completely innocent and shy smile, and then said, “39 points.”
Wen Jin : “…”
