After the young boy named Li Shengruo quickly answered the examiner's five questions, the two of them waited for feedback from the intranet system. He took a sip of the coffee that had just been served. Thinking of this, he felt deeply in his heart about this legendary northern school. The rating is one point higher.
He has semi-long hair, slightly longer than his earlobes. The tips of his hair are slightly moon-white, but not eye-catching.
Although he has semi-long hair, because his facial features are so handsome, he has a refreshing feeling without any girly or sloppy feeling. This hairstyle makes him more special, giving him a unique quiet atmosphere. .
"Eyeballs, iris color is grayish green."
"The teeth are sharp and have black blood stains on their roots."
"Silver black viscous liquid."
"Gloomy green vascular tissue."
"Translucent black hair."
His description of each test tube was precise and clear, and he answered quickly. The examiner was a little surprised by his accuracy.
You know, in the second round of interviews, you only need to give two rough descriptions to pass, but he was able to describe all the test content extremely accurately.
This kind of special case should be given full marks, but such a score naturally needs to be reviewed by the headquarters, so the two of them temporarily drank coffee in the corner of this cafe.
"Full marks."
A scanned copy with the seal of the Admissions Office appeared on the tablet in the hand of the examiner. He confirmed and announced the test results, shook hands with Li Shengruo and congratulated him, then got up and headed to the next test center.
“It’s unbelievable that freshmen of this caliber are not specially recruited or recommended for admission…”
The examiner thought this way. What he didn't know was that even the registration itself was done secretly by Li Shengruo without telling his family.
Three months passed by in a blink of an eye. Just a week before Wei Zeshu completed the two-way confirmation, at 11 o'clock in the night, countless people were squatting in front of their mobile phones or computer screens in completely different places, waiting for their own email. An email from the North.
At 10:20, it is located in a low-key and elegant single-family house on the west side of the southern foot of Gushan Mountain by the West Lake in Lin'an.
Li Shengruo changed into his pajamas in advance, holding hot milk in his left hand and wiping his still damp hair with a towel in his right hand. He sat in front of the computer in advance and logged in to his international email address, which was specially used to receive notifications.
"Let's start with Columbia."
Entering May, RD admissions from major universities in the United States are being distributed one after another, and will basically be completed in early June.
This year’s Ivy Day is May 27, and eight Ivy League schools will issue admissions on this day, while most other schools will avoid this day, except of course, the North End, which ignores all schools in the world equally.
In order to prevent students of their choice from waiting, most Ivy League schools will thoughtfully send an email to inform them of the good news in advance, asking students to wait for the official offer on Ivy Day.
Li Shengruo clicked on the first unread email, and the school badge in pdf format came to his face.
May 28, 2024
Congratulations! It is a pleasure for me to inform you that you have been admitted to Columbia University's.....
(Congratulations! I am pleased to inform you that you have been admitted to Columbia University's School of Basic Engineering and Applied Sciences...)
"Admitted to Columbia, admitted to Yale, passed...Admitted to Pennsylvania, admitted to Dartmouth College..."
Li Shengruo drank hot milk leisurely and looked at the emails in his inbox one by one. Judging from his resume and numerous letters of recommendation that were so sparkling that ordinary people could not look directly at them, the Ivy League school that ordinary people could not reach was to him. It's not that difficult.
Some private colleges with higher international rankings but smaller niches have also kindly extended an olive branch to him. Even among Ivy League schools, his ranking should be among the best.
But when he saw the bottom one and the only email in Chinese, Li Shengruo, who was originally calm, became obviously nervous.
There is no sender, no recipient, no title, no greetings, and even no pdf file of the school badge. Among the elegant and exquisite foreign language emails, it is as eye-catching as a candlelight in the dark night, with a unique I don't care about the temperament of other schools at all.
This email appeared silently in his unread mailbox like a ghost.
[Welcome to the North]
There are only these few words, no other explanation at all, just these few words.
"!"
Li Shengruo, who had always been calm, unconsciously pulled off the towel hanging around his neck and held it in his hand. Although he showed restraint, people who are familiar with him will know that this is an extremely rare and clear expression for him. Emotional expression.
----------------------------------------
At the same time, in the Central Plains region, in a mountainside Taoist temple located in Funiu Mountain in Nanyang, a young man with a Central Plains accent was looking over and over at his mobile phone, trying to find some signal.
"Baby, you've been staring at that little board for half an hour."
"Master, you have the nerve to say that last year we built a telecommunications tower in the mountains, but you didn't say that the radio waves radiate too much... Now we can only use mobile networks in the mountains."
"Then you can use a mobile one."
"Both of my cards are from China Telecom!"
This Taoist temple is located halfway up Funiu Mountain. The signal is very poor and it is not a well-known attraction. However, it shares a Taoist license with Laojun Mountain, the most beautiful 5A scenic spot in the country.
The young boy was wearing the most common school uniform of blue, white and red in China, carrying his bag and sighing. He reluctantly took his cell phone to the door to see if he could receive a signal.
"Grandpa, master, let me tell you, don't be angry with me if I don't get admitted. I scored enough in the college entrance examination. The uncle at the foot of the mountain recommended me to apply for civil engineering, saying that I can make a lot of money..."
The old man behind him, who was called the Master, was not wearing a robe either. Although his face was as rosy as dates, his skin was like that of a baby, and his white beard and white hair were flying, the latest Canada Goose top and down jackets he wore were eye-catching. Some drama.
He himself was very warm and leaned comfortably on the wooden chair.
"Studying civil engineering means you really won't be admitted to study computer or automation!"
"Hey, you still know about computers..."
The young man muttered in a low voice and walked out of the gate without feeling dirty. He sat down on the white marble steps.
Behind him, the bright stars appeared clearly, far beyond the clarity that should be seen in ordinary mountains.
Every star seems to have been magnified many times and brightened many times. The colors are magnificent and mysterious. They are suspended behind the Funiu Mountain that has existed since ancient times. The mountain and the starry sky are silent relative to each other, and the stars are brilliant and majestic.
[Judgment Begins in Six Days] [Gate of Wonders]
The two plaques are arranged on two sides, and the stars in the sky cannot take away their sense of existence, leaving only the shock of vastness and ancient times.
The stars are hanging upside down, the stars are shining brightly, and the whole mountain is like a huge monument. Only the Taoist temple is dimly lit, filling in the traces of human existence in this landscape that has been formed for millions of years.
【Zhenjun Mountain】
The central plaque was cut out with a very simple sword mark, and it was a bit too small for a plaque. It was more like someone carved it casually and then hung it in front of his door, but it was placed on the gilded plate with great care. The very center of the main hall is connected to the Milky Way above and mountains below.
The young boy in school uniform sat under this plaque and kept swiping his mailbox.
"I'm super, I'm super! Yes! But why did you write a recommendation for admission?"
