From July 2nd to July 15th, it's the registration period for new students at various universities on Blue Star.
Logically speaking, a place like Taibian College should be deserted.
After all, this is the summit of Eastern Peak, and the trainees have to overcome countless difficulties and challenges along the way to reach it.
One wrong move and it might all be over halfway through.
Besides, not many people know about Taibian College Taibian College, and even if they did, most normal people wouldn't choose Taibian College... right?
But what the hell is going on with this scene?
There were more than two thousand people queuing up at the gate, waiting to register for enrollment.
" Old Wu, what's going on here? Don't tell me these two thousand-plus people all walked this far like us. Look at that fat guy, he's so fat he needs someone to help him stand up!"
Ling Yi pointed to a ball-shaped "creature" in the crowd and said.
"Ahem, schools need to eat too!"
"Someone with connections, huh?" Ling Yi suddenly realized.
"What are the conditions? They even accept this kind of thing?"
Teacher Wu Hong leaned close to Ling Yi, held up one finger, and whispered, "This is the price for one student!"
One million?
Wu Hong rolled his eyes and said with a hint of arrogance, "You underestimate us Taibian you? One hundred million? That depends on how strong the connections are. If the connections aren't strong, we won't accept it."
"Really? Do these people have some serious illness? This Taibian College isn't that famous!" Chai Zhiwei muttered from the side.
"Hehe, those who know about Taibian College naturally know about Taibian College, and those who don't know about Taibian College naturally don't know about Taibian College."
"What nonsense you're spouting is just like a load of rubbish," Ling Yi retorted.
However, Ling Yi understood what Wu Hong meant; this Taibian College might really be that powerful.
" Teacher Wu, why did Taibian University suddenly become Taibian College a few years ago?" Liu Hang asked at this moment.
Before Wu Hong could answer, Bai Hai said, "Perhaps they were worried about having too many students, so they voluntarily downgraded the grade?"
Wu Hong nodded. " Bai Hai is right. The minimum total enrollment for a university is 30,000, while the minimum enrollment for a college is 3,000."
"Thirty thousand people? Does that mean the school earns three trillion every year?" Several people's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Back then, one student was worth ten million!"
"So even though tuition fees for each student have increased tenfold, is it still a lucrative business of 300 billion yuan every year?"
"Wrong, it's 4.8 trillion annually!"
Bai Hai paused, speechless, and said, "So, this 100 million is just for one year's tuition?"
Chai Zhiwei scratched his head, feeling dizzy, and asked, "Wait a minute, where did this 4.8 trillion come from?"
"That's right!" Liu Hang didn't react for a moment either.
"Our college has a four-year graduation program!" Bai Hai explained.
"I know that, what's wrong?"
Bai Hai patted his forehead and simply said, "Think about it yourself!", completely too lazy to explain.
"So, does this mean we've made 400 million for free, and 100 million every year?" Gao Yuntian said.
Upon hearing this, the group realized it made sense.
Chai Zhiwei rubbed his hands together and said to Wu Hong, " Teacher Wu, could you give me the four hundred million yuan directly? I'll drop out of school now."
"Get lost!" Wu Hong kicked him and laughed as he cursed.
Looking at the more than 27 million ancient coins on the system interface, Ling Yi thought to himself, "Looks like I'm still pretty poor!"
"Teacher, what about the other students?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked at this moment.
Taibian College is not large; you can see the whole thing at a glance, and the number of buildings inside is also immediately apparent.
With this size, let alone three thousand people, it probably couldn't even accommodate three hundred.
Wu Hong gave a sly smile, "You'll find out after your entrance trial."
"So mysterious?"
"Alright, you've seen the excitement, come with me!"
So Wu Hong led Ling Yi and the others, and they hurried into the school.
This commotion immediately attracted the attention of all the students; in other words, Ling Yi had been the focus of everyone's attention ever since they appeared.
Ling Yi's team is really a bit over the top.
They actually used powerful Magical Beast Demonic Beast as mounts.
It's important to understand that, due to the influence and limitations of different World Rule, both Demonic Beast and Magical Beast have virtually no chance of being tamed.
Even after the native Beast mutated, the same thing happened.
But clearly, Ling Yi and his team broke this limitation.
Some clever people have already started to have their own ulterior motives.
If you had a powerful Demonic Beast or Magical Beast as a pet or mount, your strength would increase exponentially. Then what would be the point of cultivation?
This is practically the perfect choice for these rich and powerful losers.
It wasn't just the students who were curious; the faculty members were curious too.
When Ling Yi appeared last time, he was the only one with a Fifth Tier two-headed flying eagle. Now, all six of them have one each.
They must have mastered the methods of subjugation.
However, Wu Hong didn't ask any further questions; everything would have to wait until after the entrance trial.
Wu Hong first arranged a place for Ling Yi and the others to rest. It was a large courtyard behind the main hall of the academy, and the six of them were arranged to stay together.
"These are Fasting Pill. One pill can keep you from being hungry for half a month. There are ten pills in each bottle. Ask me for more when you run out."
Wu Hong waved his hand, and six porcelain bottles were placed on the table.
Everyone else curiously picked up the porcelain bottle to examine it, and Chai Zhiwei even took out one and swallowed it directly.
Wu Hong didn't say anything about it.
Anyway, I'll eat it sooner or later, and the college has plenty of it.
Ling Yi, however, focused his attention on the ring on Wu Hong's hand. This must be a storage ring, right? He Perception very clearly; just now, when Wu Hong waved his hand, Ling Yi felt the energy pulsating on it.
"These are cell phones, one for each person. These things are quite valuable, each worth around twenty million. Be careful not to lose or break them."
Ling Yi stood up abruptly, grabbing his phone with a look of excitement on his face.
"Wow, is it a full touchscreen phone?"
After skillfully booting up the computer, looking at the incredibly familiar interface and those familiar WeChat and QQ accounts, Ling Yi almost burst into tears.
Scrolling to the next page, there are actually three more games?
However, these games felt both familiar and unfamiliar to Ling Yi.
One is called " Zombie Crisis," and its icon is a zombie. The other is called " Unknown Land," and its icon is a hand reaching out from a grave.
The last one is called " Magic War," and its icon is a magic staff!
Wu Hong narrowed his eyes, his face full of curiosity.
How did Ling Yi know about cell phones? Did he see it in ancient books, or...?
Wu Hong didn't ask any further questions, but instead said, "When you have free time, play the games here more often, especially ' Zombie Crisis.' Meet at the square outside the school at six o'clock tomorrow morning to participate in the entrance trial!"
"Teacher, what is the entrance trial?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.
You'll find out then.
After saying that, Wu Hong glanced at Ling Yi, who was engrossed in playing on his phone, again, then turned and left the room.
"I have read about cell phones in some ancient historical texts. They're said to be a technological product of human civilization before the Quantum black hole era."
Bai Hai held the phone and awkwardly imitated Ling Yi's actions to turn it on.
"But since the Quantum black hole era, technological civilization has begun to decline rapidly, until it was gradually erased from existence."
"Unexpectedly, Taibian College was able to restore the phone. It seems that the technology rules at Taibian College haven't been affected."
Lin Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Isn't this a crafted artifact?"
Bai Hai shook his head. "Sense it carefully. There's no special energy on it, so it shouldn't be a product of a cultivation civilization."
At this moment, Ling Yi spoke up, "This is a product of technology. It's not that the rules on the technology side of Taibian College are unaffected, but rather that the technology rules are the primary rules here."
Seeing their confusion, Ling Yi explained, "Each black hole world has its own rules, and currently, most of the worlds behind black holes are primarily cultivation civilizations."
But this does not mean there is no world without technological civilization.
"Countless World Rule intertwine, devour, Fusion in our world, but there is always a primary and a secondary one."
At this point, Ling Yi paused, then suddenly seemed to have figured something out, his eyes brightening.
"No, the rules of these worlds didn't devour or Unification; it's more likely just repulsion and suppression. Otherwise, the power of technology couldn't have been suppressed so thoroughly!"
"The more frequently a black hole universe appears and the more often it interacts with our world, the more likely that world's rules will be dominant within a certain range."
All other rules must step aside.
"Interaction? What do you mean?" Bai Hai asked.
"For example, Combat and killings, cultivating the techniques of these worlds, and the number and strength of the invading monsters."
"You mean, the greater the impact of the world behind a black hole on our world, the more dominant the rules of that world will be?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.
"Yes! For example, the six major Body Refining everyone is familiar with now—spirit, qi, body, soul, star, and demon—are the dominant rules at present."
"Because there are many practitioners, the scope of influence is also greater, and now it has basically completely covered our world."
"When one side is weak, the other side will inevitably be strong."
"This Taibian College must contain a black hole connecting to the technologically advanced world; only in this way can the technological civilization within the Taibian College's territory remain unaffected."
"How do you know all this?" Gao Yuntian asked curiously.
Ling Yi didn't want to explain, he just pointed to his temple, "You have a constitution of 400,000, and you can still Perception these things?"
At this moment, Ling Yi looked at the goblin prince squatting on the stool beside him and smiled, " Zehou, perhaps you should join Taibian College, apply to join the research department, or apply for your own laboratory."
"Perhaps you could combine your goblin civilization's Forging techniques with modern technology; that should yield some pleasant surprises."
Zehou is the abbreviation of the goblin prince's name. As for his full name, it's too long for Ling Yi to remember.
These words made the goblin prince's eyes light up.
"How do I play this game?" Chai Zhiwei had already turned on his computer and entered the " Zombie Crisis " game interface.
Bai Hai and Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to ask something, but Ling Yi had already picked up his phone and started teaching them how to play games.
The words that were on the tip of my tongue were swallowed back down.
Half an hour later, Ling Yi glanced at the group with a pained expression.
Bai Hai and Lin Xiaoxiao learned quite quickly, but Gao Yuntian and the other two still had a million questions.
Ling Yi's head was throbbing from the questions, so he shoved the phone into the goblin prince's hand, who was watching with envious eyes. "You're in charge of teaching them; you don't need to go to the Land of Trials tomorrow!"
