Standing by the school gate,
Chen Gang and Chen Shuirong made for an endearing sight—a father and daughter united in their concern for Long Su.
As a member of the city guild's defense force, Chen Gang had been tasked with safety and guarding the school on this imortant day for the third-year students.
Meanwhile, Chen Shuirong's presence was borne of a dual purpose: her worry upon hearing the explosion within the school grounds and her anticipation of Long Su's emergence.
Upon spotting Long Su's approach, a radiant smile blossomed across Chen Shuirong's face, a beacon of warmth amidst the tension that had permeated the air.
The sight of her beaming countenance seemed to suspend time for Long Su,
as if the world around them momentarily paused to acknowledge the depth of their connection.
"Hello, Long Su," Chen Shuirong greeted, her voice imbued with a palpable joy.
In contrast, Chen Gang's expression underwent a fleeting change
His face darkness for a second betraying him as a flicker of emotion before resuming its usual stoicism.
"Long Su, congratulations on passing the university test," he began, a hint of pride coloring his tone.
"Greetings, Uncle Chen, and to you too, Chen Shuirong," Long Su said with a respectful nod, his voice filled with gratitude.
Word of Long Su's arrival had swiftly reached Chen Gang, prompting him to extend an invitation. "Would you care to join us for lunch? Someone," he added, casting a knowing glance at his daughter, "has been eagerly awaiting your presence for nearly half an hour."
Chen Shuirong's cheeks flushed crimson at her father's words, her deep emotions unveiled for all to witness.
To diffuse the awkwardness, Long Su quickly interjected, addressing Chen Gang with the respect due to an elder.
"Thank you for the invitation; I am quite hungry." His acceptance was swift and decisive, a concerted effort to spare Chen Shuirong further embarrassment.
As the trio made their way to a nearby eatery, the atmosphere gradually eased, buoyed by the prospect of a shared meal and the knowledge that
Despite the harrowing events of the day, he could find relaxing in each each other company.
The bustling city streets served as a stark contrast to the tranquility of the school grounds, a cacophony of life that spoke to the enduring resilience of the human spirit.
Seated within the cozy confines of the restaurant, Long Su found himself captivated by the earnestness of Chen Shuirong's smile, a testament to the unwavering friendship they shared.
As the meal progressed, laughter rang out amidst the din of the surrounding patrons, an auditory testament to the bonds forged amidst adversity.
Long Su found himself in a whirlwind of excitement and anticipation as he pondered the wealth of opportunities that lay before him.
Various prestigious universities vied for his attention, each offering a myriad of benefits and incentives.
With his unique qualifications and remarkable strength, he knew he was in an enviable position, a realization that filled him with a sense of pride and accomplishment.
"Which university do you plan to attend, Long Su?" Chen Gang inquired,
a hint of excitement coloring his voice.
The anticipation of what the future held for his young companion was palpable, and he couldn't help but be swept up in the exhilaration of it all.
Chen Shuirong's also wants to have long su discussions for his future self.
"I haven't yet decided," Long Su confessed, his mind abuzz with the weight of his impending choice.
"I must first examine each institution's offerings and determine which best one with my aspirations."
Chen Gang beamed with pride, recognizing the wisdom in Long Su's methodical approach.
"You truly are a gifted individual, Long Su," he praised, clasping the young man's shoulder in a gesture of camaraderie.
"It's true that heroes come from a young age!"
As the day drew to a close, Long Su bade farewell to his companions and retired to the solitude of his home.
No sooner had he settled in than the incessant chiming of his phone pierced the silence, each call bearing the promise of new prospects and opportunities.
With over forty calls received
Long Su found himself at the center of a veritable bidding war between esteemed institutions of higher learning.
Among them were three prominent universities ranked 12th, 16th, and 19th, respectively.
alongside a myriad of others boasting ranks 24 and below.
The incentives offered by these prestigious universities were nothing short of tantalizing.
From generous credit allotments to the promise of prime real estate, each institution seemed determined to outdo the others in securing Long Su's enrollment.
In his discussions with various admission officers, Long Su gleaned invaluable insights into the concept of university credits—a unique currency exclusive to the academic sphere.
These credits, he learned, could be exchanged for a high level of resources, including invaluable knowledge in meditation, training methods, units bulding and different types of magical array of powerful spells and combat techniques.
As he weighed the offers from each university, Long Su couldn't help but feel a sense of exhilaration and possibility.
The power to shape his future lay firmly within his grasp, and he knew that no matter his choice, his journey was destined to be one of growth, discovery, and untold potential.
Recognizing the myriad benefits associated with enrolling in a university, Long Su began to appreciate the magnitude of the opportunities before him.
Not only would he gain access to the Dragon Kingdom's official system, but he would also unlock the exclusive privilege of utilizing university credits—a currency far more potent than gold coins.
These credits granted students like him access to invaluable resources, training, and knowledge otherwise unattainable.
For example the seemingly modest offer of university was 80 credits translated to a staggering 800,000 gold coins, a testament to the value and potential of this academic currency.
Long Su contemplated the implications of his impending decision.
Between all the universities who called and offered him different offers to enroll in their universities
With each passing moment, he grew more aware of the life-altering potential that these universities offered.
From the exclusive benefits of one university credits to the invaluable mentorship of esteemed professors like Hu Xiuying, the allure of academic life seemed undeniable.
Yet, as the weight of his choice settled upon him, Long Su knew that his future would be defined not only by the institution he chose but also by his determination to succeed in the face of adversity.
As Long Su pondered his options
the green-haired inspector, Qiao Feng, found himself immersed in his own whirlwind of activity.
Tasked with assisting the admissions office alongside his fellow classmates , he fielded countless phone calls, each bearing the potential to shape the future of prospective enrollees.
The motivation driving Qiao Feng and his peers was clear—the promise of 10 credit points upon completion of their duties.
This reward represented not only a financial incentive but also the potential to unlock valuable opportunities within the university.
Amidst the flurry of activity,
Qiao Feng's mentor, Professor Hu, observed the proceedings with a keen eye.
His commanding presence and distinguished white beard testified to a lifetime of academic excellence.
As Qiao Feng provided an update on their progress, Professor Hu acknowledged the efforts of his protégé and entrusted him with the remaining tasks.
"How many calls are there yet?"
Seeking a moment of respite amidst the chaos
Professor Hu settled into a nearby chair and surrendered to a well-deserved rest, but he didn't forget to ask Qiao Feng about the task.
Qiao Feng stuck his hand on his green hair, picked up the form, took a look at it, and said tiredly, "Teacher is almost here; there are still about 7 left."
"Okay, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll take a break."
Said Professor Hu while puting his head on the desk sleeping again .
