Jiang Fan returned to his bedroom.
He typed into his phone browser: Scored 300 on the college entrance exam. How can I get into Dragon University of Science and Technology?
The first link on the page: Who's the best at excavator training? Find Lanxiang in Sandong, Dragon Country!
The second link on the page: Don't fear a poor college entrance exam result. Repeat a year with Wenba! Wenba Repeat-Year School will help you get into your dream school next year!
The third link on the page: Jiangnan Leather Factory is hiring! Jiangnan Leather Factory is hiring! Boss Huang He and his sister-in-law are recruiting!
By the time Jiang Fan finished browsing, he was falling apart. What the hell was all this?
He searched for ages without finding a suitable answer!
From ancient times to the present, Jiang Fan was probably the only person ever to encounter such a problem!
A student who scored 300 on the college entrance exam wouldn't dream of getting into Dragon University of Science and Technology!
And a student who got into Dragon University of Science and Technology wouldn't score 300!
Jiang Fan closed the webpage and posted a question directly on Zhihu!
Scored 300 on the college entrance exam. How can I get into Dragon University of Science and Technology?
The posting section had a bounty feature. Jiang Fan pondered for a while, then entered a bounty of 10,000 yuan!
Originally, Jiang Fan had planned to offer 100 yuan, but he steeled himself and chose 10,000. He believed that a hefty reward would always draw brave souls!
If spending 10,000 yuan could get him into Dragon University of Science and Technology, it would be worth it!
"Xiao Fan, time to eat."
Just then, Li Guiqin called out!
"Coming, Mom."
Jiang Fan got up and went out to the dining room, where he found his dad smoking on the balcony!
"Jingguo, time to eat!" Li Guiqin said!
"Oh."
Jiang Jingguo answered, then took another deep drag and tossed the cigarette into an ashtray containing water!
At the dinner table!
Everyone ate this meal in unusual silence.
Jiang Fan kept pondering how he could get admitted to Dragon University of Science and Technology. Jiang Jingguo worried about his son's future. But Li Guiqin's thoughts were that as long as her son was all right, everything else could be worked out.
"Xiao Fan, do you have any plans?"
In the end, Jiang Jingguo asked. He decided to first find out what his son was thinking.
"Dad, I don't know yet?"
At the moment, Jiang Fan truly had no idea. The system had assigned him a mission, and only by completing it could he receive the reward!
But with a score of 300, he really couldn't think of how to get into Dragon University of Science and Technology!
"How about I pull some strings and get you into a junior college?"
Jiang Jingguo actually opposed Jiang Fan repeating another year. If he failed again, his son might really shut himself away.
"Dad, let's talk about it in a few days!"
Jiang Fan gave an evasive reply.
After dinner, Jiang Fan returned to his room and opened his phone to check the question he had posted on Zhihu!
Sure enough, just as Jiang Fan had expected, a hefty reward drew brave souls. The responses beneath his question were pouring in.
Netizen 1 [OP, are you sure there's nothing wrong with your brain?]
Netizen 2 [Scored 300 on the college entrance exam. How can you get into Dragon University of Science and Technology? In your dreams, OP!]
Netizen 3 [Full-time self-study exams are your number-one choice! For just 998 yuan, take home a self-study exam admission notice from Dragon University of Science and Technology!]
Netizen 4 [My maternal uncle's eldest maternal aunt's third brother-in-law's second paternal uncle's sister-in-law's younger male cousin is the admissions director at Dragon University of Science and Technology. One million yuan, admission guaranteed!]
Netizen 4: I'm Zhang San, the outlaw, and I've got my eye on you!
Netizen 5 [Just keep kneeling outside Dragon University of Science and Technology and let them see your sincerity. I believe the university will be moved by your spirit and accept you as a student!]
Netizen 5: If OP kneels outside Dragon University of Science and Technology and ends up making a thousand a day, he'll give up on getting in!
Netizen 5: Begging outside Dragon University of Science and Technology guarantees at least five thousand a day.
Replying to the above: Seriously, five thousand a day? I'm going over there to kneel and beg right now!
Jiang Fan was on the verge of falling apart after reading through the replies. Just as he was about to look for another avenue, he spotted a useful piece of information!
Netizen 9999 [You dumbass OP, Dragon University of Science and Technology is one of Dragon Country's top science and technology institutes. Want to get in with 300 points? Not unless you develop a spaceship!]
An idea flashed through Jiang Fan's mind. He couldn't develop a spaceship right now, but he did have the formulas and principles for controlled nuclear fusion. If he sent over some of the formulas and data, getting into Dragon Academy of Sciences shouldn't be a problem, right?
Jiang Fan acted immediately. He gave the reward straight to Netizen 9999, then put his phone away!
Taobo Internet Cafe!
At computer 99, a teenager was waiting to enter a game. The laggy connection made loading slow. Bored out of his mind, he picked up his phone and opened Zhihu to kill time, then noticed a post on the homepage offering a ten-thousand-yuan reward.
Curious, he tapped it to take a look!
[Scored 300 on the college entrance exam. How can I get into Dragon University of Science and Technology?]
He immediately couldn't help cursing!
"This dumbass OP is definitely brain-dead!"
His companion leaned over curiously to see what was going on, then started cursing too after reading the title!
The teenager casually typed a line beneath the question.
[You dumbass OP, Dragon University of Science and Technology is one of Dragon Country's top science and technology institutes. Want to get in with 300 points? Not unless you're someone who develops a spaceship!]
Then he put his phone away and entered the game. After finishing a round, he happened to open his phone to see how badly OP had been torn a new asshole!
Instead, Zhihu notified him that OP had accepted his answer and awarded him ten thousand yuan!
"Holy shit! What's going on?"
He was instantly dumbfounded. His companion leaned over to look and was stunned too!
"Fuck! Now that's throwing money around!"
That afternoon!
On his computer, Jiang Fan organized a portion of the controlled nuclear fusion formulas and data the system had rewarded him with, which were stored in his mind.
He opened Dragon University of Science and Technology's official website and found the submission email address for independent research projects!
The university had set it up specifically for members of the public!
As long as a submission passed the specialists' review, the contributor would receive corresponding research and development funding!
Every year, they received research projects from tens of thousands of contributors, but only one or two actually went into research!
Jiang Fan put the controlled nuclear fusion formulas and data he had organized into a compressed archive and sent it directly to the university's relevant email address. When sending it, he added a sentence: I hope to be granted the opportunity to study at your university!
Once the email had been sent successfully, Jiang Fan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He opened WeChat on his phone and discovered that someone had added him to the group chat for Class 6, Year 3 at No. 1 High School. Messages in the class group kept flashing up!
Jiang Fan tapped into it. It turned out that the homeroom teacher had looked up every student's scores, compiled them into a spreadsheet, and posted it directly in the class group!
Of the class's 56 students, Chu Ruoxi had the highest score at 708.
Ten students had scored between 600 and 700.
Thirty-seven had scored between 500 and 600.
Seven had scored between 450 and 500.
One had scored 300, and that was Jiang Fan!
Clearly, Jiang Fan and Chu Ruoxi had become the subjects of everyone's discussion!
The flowers, applause, and congratulations in the group were all for Chu Ruoxi, with everyone offering flattering words.
In their smaller group chats, however, Jiang Fan became the object of their ridicule and a source of confidence!
