Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 156 Top of the Nation

The older man always had a way of scolding everyone as though they were under his command. Those around him got used to his style.

Crestfallen University’s and Crestfield University’s admission departments also needed to be in better shape.

Shaking, he announced. “That’s it. Milly got seven hundred forty–nine point five, just half a point shy of perfect. She’s not only leading our province, but she’s also the best across the whole country.”

At that declaration, a hush fell over the living room.

Even Philip, his aged fingers winding through his prayer beads, stopped cold as if he needed to hear it again, confused, “Which place? It can’t be out of a thousand, right?”

Jordan was the quickest to clear things up, “The highest score is seven hundred and fifty, so with Milly’s seven hundred forty–nine point five, she’s barely missed being perfect but still tops the country.”

Philip sipped his tea, trying to wrap his head around the news, mumbling, “Top scorer in the country.”

Jordan looked at him, expressionless, explaining the weight of Milly’s achievement, “It’s like being the number one scholar back in the day.”

The news made Philip’s handshake, spilling some of his tea.

The older man might not be familiar with today’s slang, but he understood the importance of being the top student. Back in his day, it meant donning a unique cap and gown and receiving cheers and applause from the entire community.

While it might not be that glorious today, it still carries immense pride for the family.

“Really, the top scorer? The whole country’s top scorer?” Philip asked again, finding it hard to believe.

Seeing Philip’s change in attitude, the staff from Crestfallen University spoke with more assurance, “Yes, she’s the country’s top scorer. Once the results are public, expect the media to come knocking for
