Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot! Chapter 7: Sister Ning, Can You Read?

Ye Tong had a look on her face like "What nonsense are you talking about," and said, "Superpower users are strategic talents for major forces, and their identities are confidential. Even if schools offer Superpower Classes, the number of students is extrely limited. It’s said that they can’t even recruit one student in several years."

Ji Ning couldn’t help but think about the era before she traveled through ti, where strength was revered, even though superpower users weren’t everywhere, the proportion was easily one in ten.

Now, it’s really in decline...

"You’re talking about physical quality levels, aning spiritual power and physical level?" Ji Ning asked.

Ye Tong nodded and called Xiao Zhi to educate Ji Ning.

The screen on the wall lit up, displaying the standards for spiritual power and physical ability classifications.

"The classifications for spiritual power and physical level, from strongest to weakest, are divided into seven grades: SSS-level, SS-level, S-level, A-level, B-level, C-level, D-level, with each level further divided into nine sub-levels. For example, my current physical strength is at B5 level."

When speaking about physical strength, Ye Tong felt a bit proud, as in the realm of ordinary people, just having one of the abilities reach B-level makes you a standout.

Ji Ning glanced at her, and with a squeak, she took a bite of a raw cucumber.

Her body is as fragile as a cucumber...

"Sister Ning, have you ever been to school?" Ye Tong asked, as if she suddenly thought of sothing, with concern in her voice.

"No," Ji Ning replied indistinctly, chewing on the cucumber.

Ye Tong imdiately beca worried, "Sister Ning, you can’t find a job without a school diploma."

Nowadays, without a resident ID, one can still work illegally, but without a school diploma, no one will hire you even for manual labor, let alone make money to support yourself.

Because every job requires checking the personal physical quality level assessed in the school diploma.

People who do not et the minimum required levels for the job will not be hired.

This regulation has been written into law by the International Alliance, and if any company dares to violate it by hiring employees who do not have the required physical or spiritual strength, once caught, they will be severely punished, with the responsible party going directly to jail.

The reason for such strictness is because a few years ago, private assessnt agencies helped ordinary people with low levels falsify their physical quality levels, leading to major accidents. Since then, the International Alliance has anded the law, making formal companies very strict in their recruitnt standards.

Schools are places to cultivate everyone’s physical quality, offering courses to enhance spiritual power and physical levels, along with regular exams.

If both abilities do not et graduation levels, even if professional course results are excellent, one cannot graduate smoothly.

Because of its strictness, it is what makes recruitnt personnel the most assured.

School diplomas have thus beco essential keys for job hunting.

"Don’t worry, I can help Sister Ning go to school." A lighthearted female voice suddenly ca from the doorway, Bai Xiaotang was back.

"Sister Ning, you look about the sa age as , so we can be classmates."

Bai Xiaotang was extrely happy at the thought of becoming classmates with Ji Ning and imdiately tapped her Smart Brain, calling the driver: "Uncle He, apply for enrollnt at Anhe Middle School for Sister Ning tomorrow. I want to be classmates with Sister Ning."

The driver on the other end took a while to recall whom Bai Xiaotang referred to as Sister Ning.

Unexpectedly, that vagabond turned out to be a woman?

What luck she had...

Thinking his plan had failed made the driver feel a bit regretful, but he quickly conceived another plan.

His furrowed brow slowly relaxed, feeling a few degrees happier.

A woman is good too, just right for implenting another plan.

"No problem, Miss. But I need to understand her current learning progress. If her basics are too weak, enrollnt might be difficult."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaotang thought of the conversation she had just heard, suddenly feeling a bit guilty. She took her Smart Brain, away from the living room, and ran to the balcony to make a call.

In a hushed voice, she asked, "Can spending more money help?"

A hint of mockery rose on the driver’s lips, "Miss, before coming to Anhe City, you already returned the unlimited credit cards to President Bai."

Bai Xiaotang instantly recalled that to prove her ability to live independently to her brother Bai Yusen, she had left most of her credit cards at ho before leaving Beijing and intentionally asked her brother for a bank card that only provided a limited monthly living allowance.

The amount inside isn’t insufficient for necessities, but it’s certainly not enough to get Ji Ning into school by throwing money around.

"Then, what should I do? Uncle He, please think of a way, help Sister Ning. Without school, she’ll have no future job prospects..." Bai Xiaotang paced on the balcony, desperate.

Only then did the driver leisurely reply, "She can take the special admissions route. Anhe Middle School’s junior high and high school departnts have special admissions quotas annually, and only need to take an entrance exam to enroll."

"Alright, alright, just let Sister Ning take the special admissions route," Bai Xiaotang responded eagerly.

The driver’s smile grew wider, "Special admissions require you, Miss, to be the guarantor."

"No problem."

"Alright, I’ll apply tomorrow."

Special admissions can indeed enter Anhe Middle School, but if the entrance exam for the high school departnt isn’t passed, the special admissions will be treated as downgrade, aning demotion to junior high to start over, and they must et passing criteria for all assessnts over consecutive sesters to continue schooling.

If unt, not only will they be expelled, but they will also revert to elentary level to start fresh.

This is an insulting setback for anyone.

As a guarantor, Bai Xiaotang won’t suffer substantial losses, but her personal reputation will be severely damaged.

On one hand, she will not receive any future benefits from the school; on the other hand, the teachers at school who had been inford by Bai Yusen to take care of Bai Xiaotang won’t find it easy to overtly show favoritism anymore.

This is akin to chopping off a protective hand for Bai Xiaotang, and he’ll have no more qualms about doing anything in school.

Unaware of this pitfall, Bai Xiaotang happily ran off to share the good news with the others.

"Sister Ning, we’ll be classmates soon. I’ll look out for you in school."

Ye Tong wasn’t as optimistic as Bai Xiaotang. Though she was unaware of the rules for Anhe Middle School’s special admissions, as thousands of schools are the sa, they prioritize student performance and enrollnt rates. Without excellent grades, there’s no developnt in school.

"Sister Ning, the special admissions entrance exam needs to be taken seriously. The exam score may determine the class you’re assigned to after enrollnt."

As a student, Bai Xiaotang instantly recalled so unspoken rules within the school and regretted her oversight. She quickly redied, "Sister Ning, I’ll bring the textbooks over for you to review. By the way, Sister Ning, can you read?"

This question instantly made the atmosphere in the living room more serious.

If Ji Ning can’t read, no matter how hard they try to tutor her, she won’t be able to enter high school for studies.

Thinking of this possibility, Bai Xiaotang and Ye Tong suddenly felt deflated.

After exchanging glances, they turned to Ji Ning, filled with cautious and hopeful eyes.

What if Sister Ning can read?

Wuwuwu... Why didn’t they think of this earlier?

Is Sister Ning going to attend elentary school for primary classes?

Compared to the uneasy two,

Ji Ning was happily drinking soup from the bowl at that mont.

On the principle of not wasting food, unless lightning strikes, Ji Ning firmly embraced the clean plate policy—eating, drinking, grabbing... oops... taking everything...
