Chapter 522: 0522: Hundred States (supplement 7400)
Thanks to the round-the-clock efforts of a group of workers, and more importantly, the aid of Transcendent powers, a brand new university has fully emerged.
The solemn towering marble gates, the wide Hanbai jade square, the white tower-shaped library, as well as the upright teaching buildings, dormitory buildings… all the facilities have been perfectly arranged, at a bewildering pace.
“Mystery Academy? This name is really…”
Li Weiwei stood before the school gate styled after the Arc de Triomphe, somewhat speechless.
“They originally wanted to call it ‘East City Vocational College’, but then they thought that we didn’t have many advertising resources in the first place, and if we used this name, we might be mistaken for principles of excavator teaching…”
Su Lu shrugged: “Anyway, the Transcendents have already shown up, having one more Mysterious University isn’t unacceptable.”
“You say it so lightly.”
Cheng Feng and Lin Hong, wearing dark circles under their eyes, came behind Su Lu: “This is the world’s first Mysterious University, approved by the SkyNet, even quietly appearing among undergraduate colleges, do you know how much sensation it has caused? Our recruitment hotline has been ringing off the hook.”
They could understand the thoughts of ordinary people.
After all, this school is an officially recognized institution that teaches mysterious knowledge, and so far there is only one in the world!
As for other countries, even if they wanted to establish one, they might not be able to.
Their exposure to the Transcendent world is still too short for them to accumulate much mysterious knowledge. Are they going to give a magic potion to every student?
Even the mysterious giants who own the ‘Ancient God’s Mystery Treasure’ don’t have much accumulated in this regard.
At this stage, the only one who can systematically provide knowledge of the Mysterious is Su Lu, not to mention, he also has the Spirit Seal technology that makes Occupational Person mad!
“Oh? It seems we don’t need to worry about obtaining students.”
Su Lu laughed.
“That’s not the problem at all, right? Our school should have never been a third-rate college from the beginning. The standard is too low. Now we have received hundreds of thousands of applications, and this number will surely increase over time… In the end, our admission score may even be higher than the top institutions in the Summer Country.”
Cheng Feng wiped a cold sweat.
He knew that the Mysterious Academy planned to enroll no more than a thousand students this year! And this quota includes slots for the affiliated primary school. They would hand out only about six or seven hundred slots to high school graduates, so the competition is bound to be fierce!
…
In a certain upscale villa.
Han Fan looked at the information only privileged people could see with bloodshot eyes:
“The ‘Professions’ handed down by the Ancient Gods can mainly be divided into two categories: physical and magical. There aren’t many basic jobs, but at the second level, many people have found that the same first-order job can actually branch out into different development directions, and the third-order even more so… it presents a tree diagram. This is amazing…”
His family’s financial situation is not just good, but truly top-notch.
At this time, he possesses all the basic magic potion formulas and can even get magic potion materials as soon as he wants so he can become a Transcendent.
“The basic choice is important…”
As the top scorer of the provincial university entrance exam, Han Fan, of course, is not of low intelligence. He even has further plans. If there are no other choices, he plans to apply to Qingbei University, the highest institution in the Summer Country, Life Sciences Institute, to become a Transcendent while researching enhancements.
“Afan!”
A middle-aged man knocked on the door and came in at this moment.
“Dad? You actually got a day off?”
Han Fan looked at his father in surprise.
“Taking a break from the hustle and bustle to see how you’re doing… How are you planning to fill in your college choice?” The middle-aged man sat down and asked gently.
“Mom said the world is not peaceful now, it is best not to go abroad, I am preparing to apply to the Life Sciences Research Institute of Qingbei University…” Han Fan answered.
“You… Want to take the path of the Transcendents?” Han’s Dad looked complicated.
“Yes, it’s rare to see such interesting stuff, in such an interesting era… it’d be too much of a pity not to get involved.”
Han Fan answered with a smile.
“Unlike in the beginning, the best opportunity has passed… Have you heard of the Curse of the Ancient Gods?” Han’s Dad still looked hesitant.
“I’ve heard of it, survival of the fittest, it’s an interesting system, like as if there’s a limit to the total amount of ‘Mysterious’ that can support everyone to become a Transcendent…”
Han Fan adjusted his glasses: “There must be a huge secret hidden in it.”
“The initial ones were all lucky. Now if you want to catch up, it’s going to be very hard…” Han’s Dad shook his head: “Because the curse still exists, targeting all the Transcendents, even those who have just ascended.”
“So, regardless of how new or old you are at this, the pressure of the curse is the same? That really is unfair… Is it now dangerous to take magic potions and become a first-tier Transcendent?”
Han Fan immediately caught the key point of the problem.
“Hmm… There is now a failure rate for taking magic potions, and the failures turn directly into beasts.” Han’s Dad stared at his son nervously: “Even so… you still want to be a Transcendent?”
“Yes, and I have to hurry. Alas… Although I already knew that this world is unfair, I did not expect to be despised in the Transcendent world… I am on the lower side…”
Han Fan shook his head.
“So… if you’re determined to take this path, I suggest, apply to East City Mystery College!” After what seemed to be a struggle with his thoughts, Han’s Dad suddenly spoke.
“That academy that’s been the talk of the town recently?”
A smile crossed Han Fan’s face: “Looks like it’s not just a publicity stunt, it has some real talent… even you, Dad, feel that it’s better than any Mysterious University in the world?”
“I can only say this much.” Han’s Dad stood up and strode away.
“Interesting, really interesting… a private institution surpasses the world’s top institutions… private? Is it really the trend of the times? Has individual power reached this level?”
Han Fan suddenly made up his mind: “Luckily I haven’t filled in my choices yet, I’ve been waiting for Dad to say this, East City Mystery College?”
As the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination, as long as the Mysterious Academy has slots in his province and he puts it as his first choice, he can beat any other candidate hands down, they will all kneel at his feet!
…
England.
The disturbances on the streets began to subside.
The prime minister and parliament of this term are still very strong, directly stabilizing the situation and making everything barely return to normal.
Of course, the fear and worry in the hearts of ordinary people have not diminished at all.
The Gill’s house.
“These incompetent politicians, idiots… stupid pigs who only know to accept donations!”
Gill’s dad held a newspaper, the bold headline read: ‘The Eastern magic school is ready, where is our Magic School?’
“Dad… Magic School, can I go to school?”
Gill, who was playing with toys next to him, suddenly looked up and asked: “Like Harry in the storybook? Is there a train platform you have to go through a wall to get to, and witches riding brooms?”
“There will be. There surely will be.”
Gill’s mother hugged her child and kissed him. Then to Gill’s father, she said: “Dear, I think we need to revise our plan for our child’s education.”
