The awakening system talent determined the threshold for university entry.
The world was indeed this realistic.
But everyone also understood that the reason for this situation was that the N-level system was simply too outrageous, issuing system tasks that defied logic, and the potential was simply not enough.
In this world, the most profound truth was: studying needed to serve practical ends!
A good system would enable you to apply the knowledge you've grasped more skillfully; if you had an outrageous system like the N-level, even if you learned much from books, the system tasks would be hard to complete, failing to achieve the goal of applied learning.
In other words, cultural course grades determined a person's basic lower limit, while the system talent level determined a person's future upper limit.
