Chapter 309: Chapter 189: The Door to the Upper Levels is Now Officially Closed to You!
Qin Shi greeted the teachers and students of Xinyi High School and then followed Fang Butang, getting into the black car with a white Education Commission license plate.
“Qin Shi… must be going to participate in the recruitment of the Four National Universities.”
Xu Mo, holding a banner, looked envious. Check latest chapters at NovєlFіre.net
For any student, the Four National Universities are the dream holy land.
More accurately, it is the best way to achieve a class leap.
“Old Qin really made us proud! Securing first place in the top 100 competition, totally deserving of a recruitment spot from the Four National Universities!”
Zhou Ning said happily, feeling glad for his best friend’s success.
“Our Old Factory Street finally has someone… How does that old saying go? Oh, Wenquxing! Receiving an admission letter from the Four National Universities is like Wenquxing descending to the mortal realm!”
Zhao Yunzhu, having offered flowers, returned to the group.
She recalled meeting Qin Shi at the Talent Apartment previously, and now today, seeing him in the limelight with the Education Commission picking him up, it felt surreal.
It hadn’t been long since then, and the once ordinary student from the Hongzhi Class had already soared to great heights!
The speed of his rise was indeed astonishing.
“Can’t even catch his shadow now.”
Zhao Yunzhu felt frustrated; she considered herself a top student in the Elite Class and came from a distinguished family.
Yet standing in front of Qin Shi felt like being worlds apart.
She glanced at Xu Mo, who seemed to have adjusted his mindset, appearing calm now.
“Once studied in the same school as a Scorching Sun, it can be a good topic for conversation after graduation.”
Living in the Talent Apartment with Qin Shi, he had felt quite uneasy.
Later, witnessing Qin Shi crush Lu Hui’s Dao Heart and feeling both jealousy and curiosity, he wondered about the secret behind Qin Shi’s rapid enhancement of his Life Force.
It wasn’t until an extracurricular activity organized by the Inspection Department, where Qin Shi, acting as a mentor, efficiently dealt with Zheng Yun using his own hands, that Xu Mo realized the gap between them was at a completely different level.
After accepting this, his mindset became peaceful.
Swallows may envy geese and fear eagles, but they have no extraneous thoughts about True Dragons.
The distance was too vast to even touch!
“Let’s go back and await good news from Mr. Qin. I wonder which national university he’ll choose?”
Xu Mo put away the banner and looked at Zhou Ning.
The latter shrugged and said:
“Old Qin is always very decisive. There’s not much difference between the Four National Universities, right? They’re all top-tier academies at the same level!”
Zhao Yunzhu, joining the conversation with a lively explanation, said:
“Of course, there’s a difference. Southwest United’s predecessor is the renowned Yu Nan Military Academy, which has produced countless stellar generals, has strong ties with the Military Department, and is known as the ‘Cradle of Senior Officers.’
Huabei Imperial Capital is self-explanatory; half of the Three Ministries and Nine Departments are alumni, located at the Central Hub, with vast prospects upon graduation, praised as the ‘Red Tower.’
Fuxing Tongwen is truly the base for the New Martial Sect, a hub of advanced technologies, like United Pharmaceutical and Medicine Buddha Enterprises, which provide substantial sponsorships each year just to secure collaboration for campus recruitment.
Yangchen Museum needs no further comment; you only need to know that since the establishment of Santang Heavy Industry, 37 chief engineers and 43 chief designers have come from Yangchen Museum, contributing two-thirds of its core talent. So much so that the ‘Yangchen Gang’ nickname once referred to Santang Heavy Industry in Dongxia.”
Zhou Ning listened in a daze, feeling confused and impressed without fully understanding.
No wonder, the names of the Four National Universities were heavy with significance but far beyond the reach of Old Factory Street.
Just like how workers’ children wouldn’t care about policies issued by the Imperial Capital or the collaborations between Hai Province and various super conglomerates.
“If you ask me, it’s likely either Huabei Imperial Capital or Southwest United.”
“Mr. Qin is an Old Martial Sect practitioner, so he probably won’t choose the New Martial Sect-dominated Fuxing Tongwen. As for Yangchen Museum, I haven’t heard of Mr. Qin’s interest in the mechanical field.”
Zhao Yunzhu thought for a moment, considering it reasonable, then continued:
“I heard that Southwest United has been sparring with Yinghuo Ancient Star’s military academy in recent years. The latter looks down on Southwest United, calling them pampered soldiers with glittering resumes but lacking in actual combat skills.”
Xu Mo, who considered himself half a military fan, was knowledgeable about the various battle groups and frowned, saying:
“That’s not entirely accurate. The battle groups Southwest United cooperates with include the Seventh Battle Group stationed at Beidou Star Domain and the Ninth Battle Group at Black Xie Star Domain, both of which have lower-intensity conflicts compared to the Fourth Battle Group.
But calling them pampered soldiers is slander. Mo Zhenting, a rising star in the Seventh Battle Group and an old neighbor from Heng Province, has been awarded the Golden Corn Shoulder Badge, his promotion speed is like a rocket.”
Getting on the school bus, homeroom teacher Qian Feng overheard their discussion and confidently said:
“The Education Commission will surely make arrangements accordingly. Mr. Qin’s special recruitment status is harder to achieve than regular admission; I think there will be additional assessments in between.”
Zhou Ning curiously asked:
“What’s the difference between special recruitment and admission?”
Homeroom teacher Qian Feng replied:
“Special recruitment is for the Junior Class, which is a three-year program. In the fourth year, they are directly conscripted into various high-level national projects. Junior Class graduates from the Four National Universities are highly sought after and treated as elite wherever they go.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ning couldn’t help but worry. He never doubted Old Qin’s abilities.
But the Junior Class of the Four National Universities has a high threshold.
Not sure if he can get past it!
The black car drove to the Education Commission building, and Fang Butang led Qin Shi to a large conference room on the fourth floor.
