Since he had put it that way, Liu Qian and Sun Rui knew that refusing the two tickets any longer would seem pretentious.
So, after sincerely thanking him, they accepted the two passes.
As the Director of Admissions Office at Modu Metahuman University, Zhang Chaoyang was highly experienced when it came to university applications.
Along the way, he gave Liu Qian and Sun Rui plenty of advice about filling out their applications.
For example, which schools in Magic City might expand their enrollment this year, and which schools might lower their admission score thresholds.
Ordinary people had no access to this sort of insider information.
So, alongside their delight, Liu Qian and Sun Rui felt incredibly fortunate to have met Xu Jingming on the road.
Otherwise, they would never have come into contact with such confidential information.
The off-road vehicle sped onward and soon entered Modu University City.
It finally stopped in front of the gates of Modu Metahuman University.
"I'll go park the car first. Wait here for a moment."
After dropping off Xu Jingming and the other two, Zhang Chaoyang went to park by himself.
Xu Jingming took the opportunity to examine this top university in the country before him.
Back when he had still been in Jiangcheng, he had looked up information about Modu Metahuman University online.
He knew that Modu Metahuman University had been built with tremendous grandeur.
But only when the school truly appeared before his eyes did he feel its overwhelming splendor.
Just the gate alone was over a hundred meters wide!
The flat concrete roadway beneath it could accommodate dozens of cars passing through at once!
It was also over ten meters tall!
The six large characters, "Modu Metahuman University," were written in bold, sweeping strokes across the massive gate.
They gleamed brilliantly beneath the noon sun.
"Damn, even the entrance is this grand. What must the inside of the school be like?"
Xu Jingming finally understood why so many students aspired to attend Elite Universities.
Aside from their profound educational heritage, passing through such magnificent gates every day was a visual pleasure in itself.
At the same time, Xu Jingming could not help looking forward to his campus life over the next four years.
Beside him, Liu Qian and Sun Rui were equally stunned by the grandeur of Modu Metahuman University.
They stared fixedly at the gates without even blinking.
"Well? Impressive, isn't it?"
At that moment, Zhang Chaoyang appeared beside them with a smile after parking the car.
He loved seeing the looks on new students' faces when they were awed by the university.
That was also one of the reasons why he had chosen to personally pick up Xu Jingming.
"Our Modu Metahuman University covers 40,000 mu, a total of 26 square kilometers. A gate like this is just right for it."
Zhang Chaoyang's next words made Liu Qian's mouth fall open and her eyes widen roundly. "Twenty-six square kilometers?! I remember Modu Metahuman University only enrolls a thousand new students each year. Even with all four grades combined, there are only a little over four thousand students, right? So few people live in such a huge place?!"
Liu Qian knew Modu Metahuman University was large, but she had never imagined it would cover 26 square kilometers!
That was nearly half the size of a county town!
And such a vast area housed only a little over four thousand people!
This was Magic City, where land was worth its weight in gold!
For a single university to have such a massive campus was practically surreal!
"There aren't that few people. Including all the teachers and staff, there are around ten thousand people in total. That means the per capita land area is only a little over 2,600 square meters."
That "only" from Zhang Chaoyang made Liu Qian and Sun Rui's eyes redden with envy.
A per capita land area of over 2,600 square meters—what a terrifying figure was that?
At an ordinary university, it would already be impressive if the per capita land area reached even one percent of that!
Amid all their astonishment, Liu Qian and Sun Rui were led into Modu Metahuman University.
By the time they came back to their senses, Xu Jingming was already waving goodbye. "I've spoken to Teacher Zhang. You can look around the campus as you please. But once you leave, you won't be able to come back in. Well then, this is where we part ways. I hope you both get accepted by the universities you want."
For Liu Qian, Xu Jingming's height and appearance perfectly matched her tastes, so it was impossible to say she felt nothing for him.
But as she watched him leave alongside Zhang Chaoyang, she gathered all her courage yet still failed to call out to him and ask for his contact information.
"In the end... we're not from the same world."
Liu Qian shook her head.
She came from nothing more than an ordinary family. To someone like Xu Jingming, whom Modu Metahuman University had personally sent someone to pick up, she was merely a passing stranger.
It was already fortunate that they had met once. Wanting to take their relationship any further was nothing but a pipe dream...
"Qian, I know who Xu Jingming is!"
Sun Rui suddenly cried out beside her and held her phone in front of Liu Qian. "I was wondering why he looked so familiar. He's the Provincial Top Scorer from Jiangnan Province!"
"So it was him!"
As she looked through the news articles and accompanying photos of Xu Jingming on Sun Rui's phone, Liu Qian finally connected him with the Provincial Top Scorer who had caused such a stir across Jiangnan Province some time ago.
"So he ultimately chose Modu Metahuman University. No wonder a teacher personally went to pick him up."
Although the internet had been abuzz, seeing the actual person offline did not necessarily mean one would recognize him.
That was the natural reaction of most people, and Liu Qian was no exception.
Moreover, there had never been any definite news online about which university Xu Jingming would ultimately choose.
Yet he had already chosen Modu Metahuman University and had even begun his enrollment registration.
"Sure enough, we're not from the same world."
After learning his true identity, Liu Qian instead felt more at ease. Smiling, she took Sun Rui's hand. "Come on. We finally got the chance to come in, so let's have a good look around!"
With the Director of Admissions Office leading the way, Xu Jingming encountered no obstacles whatsoever during enrollment.
In just over half an hour, he completed all the procedures.
He received his student ID and his dormitory key.
Xu Jingming had already been stunned once by the gates of Modu Metahuman University.
But when he saw his dormitory, he was stunned once again.
Having studied all the way through a doctoral degree in his previous life, he had seen plenty of dormitories.
He had even attended three universities himself and lived in three or four different dormitories.
There had been four-person rooms, single rooms, and even three-bedroom apartments specially assigned to doctoral students!
But he had truly never seen a university like Modu Metahuman University that used villas as dormitories!
The villa before him looked even more luxurious than the one he had in Jiangcheng!
Now Xu Jingming finally understood why Modu Metahuman University occupied such a large area.
These villas provided for the students alone probably took up nearly half the campus!
