Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

"Before the college entrance exam, there will be a provincial high school competition. You should do your best and try to get good results."

"The top three winners of the competition will receive huge cash and resource rewards, as well as bonus points on the college entrance examination."

Li Zhengjun smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu frowned slightly and said:

"Won't this affect my participation in the special early admission exam?"

"It won't affect anything. The provincial high school competition is before the Spring Festival, and the special admissions exam is after the Spring Festival," Li Zhengjun explained, then looked at him with some confusion:

"By the way, you're not an S-level talent awakener and can't participate in the special recruitment early admission exam, so why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Who said I can't participate in the special early admission exam?" Qin Yu asked, looking puzzled.

"You can participate!?" Li Zhengjun's eyes widened in disbelief.

The special admission early admission exam is only open to students with S-level talent awakening or higher; this has always been an ironclad rule. How could this kid possibly...?

Qin Yu spread his hands and said with a grin:

"I'm sorry, my cousin put in a word with Imperial University and got me a special favor."

"..."

Li Zhengjun immediately stayed in Bengbu.

Okay, let's forget about this kid's illustrious family background; rules and regulations don't apply to families like that...

"What is the format of the provincial high school competition?" Qin Yu suddenly asked.

“It’s different every year, and I don’t know what it will be. However, the number of participants is fixed. It’s always a team of six, with five starters and one substitute.”

Li Zhengjun replied, "Given your current strength, I have decided that you will be the captain of this competition, and you will also have full authority to decide the selection of team members. You can make the decision yourself."

"Old Li, you trust me that much?" Qin Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised.

He didn't expect that the other party would also give him the power to choose team members.

Li Zhengjun smiled and patted him on the shoulder:

"That's what they call 'if you don't trust someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them.' I believe you won't let me down."

Of course, there was something else Li Zhengjun kept to himself.

That is, the chairmanship of the provincial high school competition every year is jointly held by the governor and the viceroy of the Southeast Province.

Qin Yu's grandfather happened to be the inspector of the Southeast Province. So, as the grandfather, how could he not engage in some underhanded dealings when his grandson was leading the team to participate in the competition?

Given Qin Yu's own strength, Li Zhengjun was certain that the results this time would be excellent!

Seeing how much Li Zhengjun trusted him, Qin Yu couldn't help but show a touched expression.

This was the first time he had been trusted so much.

This feels so good!

But it's a pity.

Old Li, you've trusted the wrong person...

Qin Yu shook his head inwardly; he never considered himself a trustworthy person.

Basically, those who trusted him never had a good ending.

Although he thought this in his heart, he still patted his chest sincerely and said:

"Old Li, don't worry, I guarantee I'll arrange everything perfectly for you in this competition!"

Li Zhengjun nodded:

"Alright, I won't say any more. Just prepare well. I have to go now. Go to the training hall and tell the students to disperse after school."

"ojbk."

Afterwards, Qin Yu returned to the training hall alone.

He clapped his hands, signaling everyone to gather together.

"Everyone, come here for a moment, I have something important to announce!"

Upon hearing this, the students in the special training class gathered around with curious expressions.

"Well, the provincial high school competition is about to begin, and Teacher Li has asked me to be the captain and has also given me the power to select the team members."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was startled and somewhat surprised.

They hadn't expected that Teacher Li would give Qin Yu so much power.

But then I thought about it again and realized it was perfectly normal.

After all, their squad leader Qin had just defeated Fang Ping, who was hailed as the strongest high school student in the southeast province, so it was understandable that he could gain such great power.

Thinking of this, everyone felt excited and eager to try it out.

After all, their squad leader Qin is so awesome now, and if we go with him to participate in the competition, we're sure to achieve great results!

This is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself!

"There are a total of five spots for the team this time. That means I will select five of you from the twenty of you to fight alongside me in the provincial high school competition and ascend to the throne of champion!"

"Does everyone want to win the championship with me!?"

"Think! Think! Think!"

The crowd shouted in unison with great enthusiasm.

"Very good!" Qin Yu smiled slightly: "Then do you know what I mainly look for when selecting team members this time?"

"Let's see who has the best skills!" someone replied.

"wrong!"

"Then let's look at the strategy!"

"Wrong again!"

"Um!?"

Everyone was stunned.

If we don't look at strength or strategy, then what can we look at?

You can't just see Arthur asking you to sit down, can you...?

"You guys really have terrible comprehension!"

Qin Yu shook his head with a look of exasperation and said, "Liu Damao, tell everyone, who am I?"

"Greedy and lustful!" Liu Damao answered without hesitation.

Qin Yu: "..."

His lips twitched slightly: "Ahem, don't listen to his slander. I've always been a very principled person, okay?"

"Anyway, to sum it all up, I won't tell you exactly what my criteria for selecting the team members are. It's up to you to figure it out."

"If you can grasp it, it means you have enough comprehension, and I will take you to the competition. If you can't grasp it, then no matter how strong you are, I won't take you."

Everyone was completely stunned when they heard what Qin Yu said.

Say nothing and expect them to figure it out on their own?

How could they possibly understand that?

However, just the next moment,

Everyone immediately understood.

Suddenly, Qin Yu took out his phone and put it to his ear, saying:

"Hey, Xiao Wang, what's up?"

"What?! You asked me for a favor and didn't even bring a small gift?"

"You told them I don't accept gifts and that they shouldn't give me any?"

"Oh dear, how many times have I told you not to fall into the trap of 'too much purity leaves no fish,' and not to let the bad influences of society seep in. Do you think someone as honest and upright as me can't resist these temptations?"

"I've always emphasized that I can refuse gifts, but they can't not give me one! It's the least they can do to respect me!"

Everyone: "..."

The expressions on everyone's faces instantly became incredibly interesting.
