Everyone in Shilan High School knows that there is a guy named Lin Nian in the second grade of high school who has always been a maverick. He is very impressive both in the eyes of his teachers and his classmates. All of this is related to his growth experience. related.
Lin Nian grew up in Guiye Orphanage in the west of the city. He was adopted at the age of 8. Within three months, he escaped back to the orphanage and claimed that he had been abused. Later, the police came to investigate and found that the abuse was completely false. They severely reprimanded 8-year-old Lin Nian. . Later, when he was 10 years old, he was spotted and adopted again by a couple who were high-ranking officials in a foreign company. Within half a year, the foreign company failed and the couple lost the ability to raise him, so they sent Lin Nian back to the orphanage.
He was adopted twice when he was 11 and 13 years old. Unfortunately, they broke up in the end. Soon he was 14, the legal age for leaving the orphanage. Lin Xian, who entered the orphanage at the same time but was 4 years older than Lin Nian, turned 18. When he was 18 years old, he proposed to be Lin Nian's guardian. Lin Nian readily accepted, and the two depended on each other, and there was no trouble in the next few years.
Lin Nian's life experience in the first ten years of his life is not an exaggeration to describe with a song "Uneasy" by teacher Gong Linna, which has become popular in recent years. However, he lived an extraordinarily hard-working life in adversity, and the orphanage did not make him suffer. Clean Linnian's spirit made him stand out even more, and he performed many impressive feats.
After leaving the orphanage, Lin Nian ranked first in the city in the high school entrance examination and was admitted to Shilan. It was a feat to be interviewed on the TV station. It was another feat to enter the hospital with a mop stick and a dozen gangsters not long after Jinshilan started school. It was a great feat for classmate Su Xiaoqiang to express his feelings only a few days later. Even in Shilan, where elites and gods were like crucian carp crossing the river, he became quite a legend at the beginning of school.
Later, he ranked first in his grade in high school several times. He was as handsome as a dark horse in the sports competition, and he could be both civilized and talented. If his family background was as good as his talent, then Lin Nian would probably be a replica of the "Chu Zihang" who ranked first in the rankings. , can definitely be promoted to be the class enemy of all Shilan students, but fortunately, his poor family background makes many people relax and feel that they are not from the same world as him.
Lin Nian's momentum in Shilan High School made many people say that his goal was to become the "Second Chu Zihang" in Shilan legend. Later, some people claimed to have seen Lin Nian and Chu Zihang holding bamboo swords in the Children's Palace. The fight turned out to be a bloody one, so he changed his mind and said that Lin Nian actually wanted to surpass Chu Zihang and become the number one in Shilan.
But afterwards, the kendo performance performed by Chu Zihang and Lin Nian at the literary evening slapped everyone in the face again, proving that the two were actually not enemies but friends. Some people boldly speculated that Chu Zihang was about to graduate in the same grade as Gao Linnian. Hang actually accepted Lin Nian as his younger brother, and planned to pass on the mantle of being the first in the Shilan tradition of "being the best in the list" when he graduates. Lin Nian, who was originally not jealous because of his family problems, suddenly It has become a thorn in the side of many people.
Now when Lin Nian asked about Kassel College in the class group, many heroes immediately thought a lot, but most of them subconsciously looked at the year, month and date in the lower right corner of the computer.
A kid from a poor family starts thinking about studying abroad in his second year of high school? However, most of the elite students who study abroad now seem to take the TOEFL test at this time to prepare for studying abroad. But even if Lin Nian passes the TOEFL test, where will the air tickets and tuition fees for studying abroad come from? National scholarship?
Someone laughed out loud for no reason at the computer screen, but the keyboard in their hands did not move at all.
"Casel College? I think I've heard of it." In the silence, Zhao Menghua suddenly said: "I have a relative who studies at the University of Chicago, and he seems to have mentioned the name of this school twice. It is said that it is a fraternity school with the University of Chicago. "
"Does this school really exist?" Lin Nian was a little confused. He was already prepared to be laughed at and deceived by his classmates, but he didn't expect that Zhao Menghua would really talk about this Kassel College.
"Yes, there is, but I heard that it is difficult to get in. Many seniors and seniors who want to apply cannot find the entrance. I heard that this school takes an elite route similar to HELP. They have their own admissions interviews and entrance exams. Even if No matter how high the TOEFL test is, it is useless to pass the interview and entrance exam." Zhao Menghua said: "But Lin Nian, I remember that your speaking and other things are not bad, what, you also want to sign up and give it a try? Do you want me to ask you from Chicago? Brother, let me help you find some connections."
"As expected of Boss Zhao, he has a clear family." Someone in the group praised, but more people didn't say anything. In this kind of class group, people with high authority can't get in to chat with Xiao Xiami and Xiao Transparent. Especially now that this topic is particularly unpopular, it seems even quieter.
"No thanks, just asking." Lin Nian replied.
He didn't want to tell anything about the orphanage. If Kassel College was really an elite school as Zhao Menghua said, it would make the orphanage even more weird. Why should a city-owned orphanage be like this? If the orphanage is really capable, it will not recommend Lin Xian to work as a cleaner in the public toilets of the shopping mall on the day she turns 18.
"Lin Nian, are you going to study abroad?" Su Xiaoqiang asked.
"I don't know, no one can predict what will happen in the future." Lin Nian replied: "Aren't you going to have a dinner together for hot pot? You can continue talking."
"Oh, yes, Lin Nian, are you going? I was originally going to ask Lu Mingfei to come and tell you." Su Xiaoqiang asked.
"Poor, no money." Lin Nian always said something straightforward.
"I'll invite you." The little goddess always invites guests directly.
"Please invite Lu Mingfei, he is hungrier than me." Lin Nian said.
"Yes, yes, I'm super horny." Lu Mingfei appeared appropriately and nodded with a little soybean expression.
"You're not thirsty, you're hungry." Xu Miaomiao complained in class.
"Are you really not going? After all, this is the last group activity before school starts in the new year." The little goddess tried to make an effort.
"No, it's only the last ten days or so since I left school. I plan to go to the construction site to move bricks for a few days," Lin Nian said.
The group fell into silence again. Most of the high school students were good-looking. In today's world where schools take the initiative to hide their names when receiving scholarships, those who candidly say that they are going to move bricks at the construction site are simply treasures.
"Moving bricks... hurts your body." The little goddess held back her words for a long time before she said this: "And you are underage, so the construction site won't want you, right?"
"I know an acquaintance. If you move in at night and no one reports it, no one will investigate." Lin Nian spoke with great experience. It seemed that this was not the first time he had done this.
"No wonder Lin Shenren can do ten jobs with a mop stick. His strength comes from moving bricks." Xu Miaomiao's twin brother Xu Yanyan sighed.
"Shut up." Su Xiaoqiang said.
"That's it. You guys have fun. The Internet fee is expensive. I'll seize the time to play some games and log in first." After Lin Nian finished typing this line and sent it, he left the QQ group and changed the QQ status to invisible.
Kassel College is actually real?
This made Lin Nian a little surprised. In reply to his question about Cassel College, Zhao Menghua's family is somewhat energetic and knowledgeable than him. Since what he said is true, there is indeed such a school in the outer suburbs of Chicago. School, this suddenly makes many things intriguing.
Lin Nian sat in front of the computer and thought about it for a long time, but in the end he still had no idea. He glanced at the time in the lower right corner and remembered that he had spent money on the Internet. Then he didn't waste time and simply used the remaining time to play games.
There are not many boys at this age who don't like to play games, either StarCraft or World of Warcraft. The richer ones are more ruthless and play Legends, galloping in the virtual world and deploying troops on the battlefield. Lin Nian also likes to play games, especially CS. The game he plays most in Internet cafes is CS.
He does not have a computer at home, so he cherishes the hard-won opportunity to access the Internet. He is more willing to play games than chatting about hot pot in the class group.
Open CS to enter the game and join the LAN room. Although this small Internet cafe is not big, there are quite a lot of people playing CS. They are all old guns, with a mouse in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Their blurred eyes are filled with the smoke and fire of the battlefield.
Lin Nian doesn't smoke in the Internet cafe. He thinks smoking will slow down his reaction speed, and Lin Xian doesn't allow him to smoke. But at home, Lin Nian can always find a small cigarette butt in the trash can. If it's not him, it can only be smoked. Lin Xian smoked.
It's not a good thing for a girl in her 20s to smoke, but Lin Nian never brought it up because Lin Xian had her own reasons for smoking. If she didn't allow him to smoke, then he wouldn't smoke.
Holding the mouse in hand, Lin Nian entered his own battlefield. He was very good at playing games, beyond ordinary people, especially shooting games. He was almost invincible in his class at Shilan High School. As long as someone showed his body in the game, he would kill him. If he can hit, he will always win in a narrow encounter. Even if he shoots at the same time, he will still survive, because he can always hit the opponent's head first.
On the screen, the man at the corner of the small door showed his head to look outside to see what was going on. Lin Nian hit him in the head with a bullet and took him away with a headshot. His teammates immediately jumped out and took another bullet to the head and took him away. Counter-Strike wins.
Before the next round started, Lin Nian's game suddenly popped up, and the system prompted that he had been kicked by the homeowner. It seemed that one of the two unlucky guys who had been headshot just now was the homeowner, and they probably thought he had kicked something.
Being treated as a cheat was not something that happened in a day or two. Lin Nian naturally cut out and entered a room again to start a fierce battle. His teammates exclaimed that he was a master, and the enemy scolded his whole family. Only Lin Nian could be seen in the game. In the upper right corner, the screen was refreshed, and there were no missed shots.
"Brother, are you a professional player?" A teammate in the same room couldn't help but ask.
"Just for fun," Lin Nian said.
"How did you practice it, wdnmd, such a fast gun, you shot him as soon as he showed his head!"
"My reaction and speed have been very fast since I was a child." Lin Nian said bluntly.
Whether it's kendo, games, or other things, as long as reaction and speed are involved, Lin Nian can always take first place. He signed up to run 100 meters, 200 meters, and 400 meters in the school sports meeting. , and are all champions. Lu Mingfei, who was running with him on the same track, had already reached the finish line before he had reached half a lap. He was so fast that it was unbelievable. I heard that someone from the track and field team came to him specifically to ask if he had any intention of joining the youth training camp. However, he declined, citing health issues.
Lin Nian didn't lie about this. He really felt that there was a "condition" in his body.
In the world in Lin Nian's eyes, whenever he concentrates, everything becomes very slow, and time seems to run slower just for him. The second hand on the watch slows down from one second to several seconds before moving. With this kind of concentration, he can do far more than others.
He has always thought this was a physiological illusion. He heard that some athletes are born with low heart rates and can often score ten rings in shooting competitions. What's more, the oxygen content in their blood is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people, and it can be refreshed when running. Incredible results.
Lin Nian felt that he was in a similar situation. Whether it was kendo, games or sports, he could be the fastest, which also brought him many benefits.
His talent was given by God, and he was a genius. Geniuses do not need to care about slander and slander. If they are geniuses, they should try their best to do their best. These were Lin Xian's original words, and Lin Nian followed them as a creed.
After sitting in an Internet cafe and playing Counter-Strike for two hours, he was called a master a mind-numbing number of times. He was scolded as a cheat and asked to greet his family so many times. Lin Nian felt that time was almost up, so he quit the game and switched to the desktop to restart. Get off the plane.
But at this time, he found that a small speaker was flashing on QQ in the lower right corner. He clicked on it and found that it was a friend application. The user name of the person who applied was "Kendo Lover".
Kendo enthusiast? Who would have known he was learning kendo? classmate? friend? Lin Nian was stunned for a few seconds and suddenly thought of the kendo exhibition match at the Children's Palace in the morning.
People from the Children's Palace? How did you find yourself here?
Lin Nian was a little confused, but he still clicked Agree. The avatar of a kendo enthusiast suddenly appeared in the friends column. There was a half-dead tree in the middle of the avatar with a blue background and a gold border. The owner of QQ also opened a flashing member avatar. Extraordinarily bright.
As soon as the friend application was approved, before Lin Nian had time to say hello, the other person spoke first.
"Lin Nian from Shilan High School? I've been looking for you."
