1: Chapter 1 Interview 1: Chapter 1 Interview “Are we there yet?”
Your grades are so good, you’ll definitely pass.”
“Don’t worry about the surgery fee.
Mom found a new part-time job and will definitely help you get it all together.
You just focus on the interview.”
Looking at the message from his mother on the screen, Zhang Yu silently put away his phone, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and waited quietly.
After a long while, a voice calling out numbers came from ahead.
“Candidate number 989, Zhang Yu.”
Zhang Yu stood up and walked into the interview classroom.
He looked at the three interviewers and showed a polite smile he’d practiced for a long time: “Hello, I am Zhang Yu from East Sun Junior High School.”
The interviewer in the middle looked at him and said flatly, “Why do you want to apply to our school?”
Zhang Yu: “Your school’s long history, deep heritage, and rich teaching resources have always cultivated many outstanding talents for society…”
The interviewer frowned and interrupted, “Don’t say those cliché words.”
Zhang Yu candidly replied, “I want to get into a prestigious university, and Songyang High School has the highest university admission rate among the schools I can apply to.”
The interviewer smiled slightly, looking at the documents in his hand, and said, “Hmm, perfect scores in all subjects, first in the whole school?
No wonder you were recommended.”
“Your grades are fine, but just relying on the school exams is far from enough to enter Songyang High School.”
He thought for a moment and casually asked, “How long do you sleep each day now?”
Zhang Yu: “Five hours.”
The interviewer said in surprise, “Five hours?”
“Our school’s students, starting from elementary, have an average daily sleep time of no more than two hours.
Outstanding graduates from previous years basically don’t sleep at all.”
“You sleep five hours a day, which means you study three hours less than others daily, nearly ten thousand hours short over nine years…”
Zhang Yu was slightly stunned, not expecting that even though he thought he was already very hard-working, he was still so far behind others in terms of effort.
He knew that students in Songyang City start elementary school at age 9 and enter high school at 18, but he didn’t expect such a huge gap between people over the same nine years.
Zhang Yu quickly said, “I will strive to catch up with them.”
The interviewer on the left asked, “How much of the high school curriculum have you studied?”
Zhang Yu calmed down a bit and confidently said, “I’ve already self-studied the first-year high school courses.”
The other interviewer frowned slightly, “Only the first year?
Don’t you know that in our school, it’s assumed that students have already completed the high school curriculum when classes start?”
Hearing this, Zhang Yu was stunned again, realizing that what he thought was an advantage had turned out to be a disadvantage.
While he was at a loss, the interviewer in the middle posed the next question.
“To improve learning efficiency and prevent early romantic relationships, our school requires all students to complete sterilization surgery to remove related organs before entering school, so they can fully focus on cultivation.”
“Did you know about this?”
Finally, hearing something he knew, he quickly replied, “My family is already preparing.
I will definitely complete the sterilization surgery before school starts, keeping my hormone levels at the most suitable level for learning.”
The interviewer nodded indifferently, “Alright, today’s interview is over.
Zhang Yu walked out of the classroom anxiously, feeling that his interview time seemed shorter than that of other students.
After he left, the interviewer in the middle shook his head, “Not sterilized even in junior high, this kid’s will to pursue the Dao isn’t strong enough.”
The female interviewer beside him smiled, “He seems to know nothing and just came here.
None of the required test reports or extracurricular exam scores are available.
It’s just that the quality of these recommended students from ordinary junior high schools gets worse every year.
If it weren’t for the support policy, they wouldn’t even have the qualification to see us.”
The interviewer in the middle nodded, “Alas, I always thought that the poor would be a bit more hardworking.
Maybe I expected too much from them.”
“Let’s keep this one as a backup for now.”
With that, he tossed Zhang Yu’s resume into a bin with a few hundred other backup resumes.
Although Zhang Yu felt that this interview hadn’t gone too well, he didn’t have extra time to think about it.
He had already started preparing for one interview after another, heading to different high schools.
“Zhang Yu, we understand that your family’s situation might not be able to afford the tuition here.
But we offer a preferential loan service for impoverished students, as long as you’re willing to mortgage some unimportant organs…”
“Don’t worry, you haven’t come to the wrong place.
We know you’re male, and although our school is an all-girls school, we never discriminate against men.
As long as you complete the sex change surgery, not only can you enroll, but you’ll also be considered a seed student with a steadfast Dao Heart, with the opportunity to enter the specialized class to learn the art of Qi Refinement from the Primordial Yin…”
“It’s a shame you’re still a bit short of our admission standards.
But this year, considering impoverished students, we’ve introduced a talent student policy.
If you’re willing to give up your physical body, you can attend school as a Talented Soul Cultivator under the Ten Thousand Soul Banner of the principal…”
“Student, you’ve come to the right place.
This is the most suitable high school for a talent from a humble background like you.
Let me introduce the benefits here.
We add intelligence-promoting agents to the drinking water to ensure students always maintain a level five focus state.
Every day, the homeroom teacher will give you more than 900 grams of special supplements for Cow Demons, ensuring that your cultivation effects are ten times greater than before.
Even the air circulation system is filled with neural stimulation fillers, so you’ll never need to sleep again, and all of this is free.
