Rebirth 08: Equipment God

Chapter 131 Bring your blog to the court hearing!

"Mystic Code" is the first and only outfit that Zhai Da obtained.

Compared to "equipment", the advantages of set items are obvious. Not only do they provide a small enhancement to each component, they also produce a "permanent effect" that directly affects the item itself.

The effect of "a close call but no real danger" has a kind of idealistic beauty.

As long as he remained within the bounds of his well-designed and reasonable magic tricks, he wouldn't encounter any real danger. But Zhai Da thought to himself, "I don't think I need to design any dangerous magic tricks."
I'm just an ordinary hobbyist who saves money on coffee by using close-up magic. Why would I make something so thrilling? I can't sell tickets anyway.
In comparison, he prefers to "operate in reverse". If he finds a way to incorporate real "danger" into his magic performance, can he also forcefully "turn danger into safety" and "avoid danger"?
For example, if someone holds a knife to your neck, you might consider first elegantly performing a magic trick for the assailant.
Hmm. That's a bit abstract. I'll need to think about how to use it.
Starting around 7 a.m., everyone worked together to move the chairs to each classroom and then arrange them neatly.

With the addition of blackboards, desks, and chairs, the educational institution became increasingly clear, reminding these graduates of their old school classrooms.

High school life seems to continue in another form this summer.

After finishing everything, it was almost nine o'clock. We had just finished the physical work and were in the most high spirits and free time, so we should have a meal together to further enhance our team spirit.

Zhai Da originally planned to have Wu Yue organize the trip to that chicken hot pot restaurant; you know, I crave it if I don't eat it for a day.
Meanwhile, Lu Wei and I transported the things we needed to take home to Sanmao Community.

However, Lu Wei shook her head, saying that since she had already bought it, there was no rush for tonight. She still needed to go back to tidy up her room before she could put the dressing table down. She would just take some small things today. On the contrary, the gathering here couldn't be without Zhai Da, the key figure.

Zhai Da readily accepted the suggestion and brought Lu Wei along to the dinner party, bringing the total number of people to 13.

Leaving aside the original Class 38 members, there were also quite a few people from other classes who needed a meal to break the ice, even though they had just done physical labor together and many of them didn't know each other's names.

By the way, the "county magistrate's son" from the second half of the show also came. His name is Li Dongdong. He's nothing special, except that he's quite polite.

Don't naively assume that all children of officials are bad and arrogant, just as you shouldn't assume that all children from poor families are cunning and unruly. Li Dongdong is actually a decent person.

If Li Haili and Wu Xiaomei consider someone to be "a pretty good person," then they probably really don't have any scandals, otherwise they would have been exposed long ago.

Li Dongdong was a little embarrassed at first, after all, he was the only student from No. 1 Middle School here. But after moving seven or eight tables, he forgot all about the embarrassment and just remembered that he was panting. After finishing the work, he became familiar with everyone.

Zhai Da gave a detailed introduction and arranged the work for the next stage. Before the official opening, everyone did not need to come to No. 99 Luochuan Road every day, but he arranged work for each person according to their own characteristics.

Each person doesn't have much work; the ones who are really working hard are probably myself, Wu Yue, Fan Junwei, and Lu Wei, while the others are mainly doing peripheral work for now.

These scattered tasks also serve as a screening process; enthusiasm alone is not enough without execution.

After the meal, the dozen or so people who had been marinated and dressed in human-shaped chicken stews went home. Although Zhai Da didn't allow them to drink alcohol, everyone's hearts were warm, and it was estimated that this warmth would last for a long time.

Upon returning home, Lu Wei immediately began tidying up her small room.

If her mother's belongings are brought back, she will treat each one with care. She needs a space for a dressing table, her clothes need to be dry-cleaned and properly stored, and the loose trinkets are simple to store in a box.

Meanwhile, Zhai Da was in his room designing the course.

To be precise, "course design" is divided into two parts: tutorial design and sales design, and he was mainly responsible for the latter.

In other words, it's about "what services to sell" and "how much to sell them for".

Utopia's positioning is "explanation of the 08 new regulations + college application guidance + summer intensive training", each with different levels of difficulty. The former can actually be understood after just one explanation and is aimed at parents who are confused about the college entrance examination rules. Students do not have this need; they can ask their teachers.

Therefore, Zhai Da plans to intersperse these courses as "welfare courses," bundled with enrollment and promotional activities as freebies. These trial courses will no longer be charged separately, but will be used as a means of customer acquisition.

With prior preparation, he figured he could delegate the task to one or two "student employees," and assigned it to Chu Xiang and himself.

Volunteer guidance services are much more complex, requiring repeated and continuous outreach, and involving a huge amount of information.

For example, the categories corresponding to various professional names:
The differences between "Mechanical Equipment and Control Automation" and "Process Equipment and Control," between "Mathematics" and "Applied Mathematics," and between "Computer Science and Technology" and "Information and Computing Science"—these are topics that most people find daunting and wouldn't want to read carefully, yet they can significantly influence a child's future.

The intricacies just from the names alone could fill several lectures, and some majors even have different training focuses at different schools.

For example, even though both are called "Energy and Environmental Systems Engineering," some schools specialize in air conditioning, while others specialize in boiler operation.

It can be said that the name has absolutely nothing to do with the content.

This is due to both the increasingly specialized nature of cutting-edge fields and the fact that various universities have embellished their names for the sake of sounding good and made "metaphysical" generalizations.

Who would apply to my major, Boiler Engineering? Is my school stupid?

Calling it "Energy and Environmental Systems Engineering" immediately elevates its status.
To be honest, he was almost completely baffled when he was researching the information. Without a specific explanation, 99% of families wouldn't understand it.

In addition, considering employment prospects, the value of the degree, historical score levels, and the potential for future postgraduate entrance exams, the difficulty is increasing exponentially, placing a heavy burden on Zhai Da's shoulders.

Vocational school and junior college are easier to understand; beauty and hairdressing are just the literal meaning.

There are indeed capable tour guides in the tour guide profession.

After overcoming numerous hurdles and studying diligently for twelve years, finally conquering the college entrance examination, only to find themselves facing a "blind box" when choosing a major? This is something no family wants to see.

Therefore, volunteer guidance is both the highlight and core of "Utopia" and a huge challenge. He could not yet achieve the same level of comprehensive understanding as "Brother Biao" in later generations, who could speak fluently about the national situation. So he had a heavy burden on his shoulders.

It doesn't matter if he's a little clumsy or unfamiliar with things; he's already the only source of information for many families, but we can't let people misunderstand him.

While Zhai Da was writing furiously, using the pen of an "artistic girl" to deepen her memory, her phone vibrated slightly.

News from [Artsy Girl].

The content consists of only one screenshot, which is the blog's interface.

Before Zhai Da could take a closer look, Lu Siwen sent another text message.

"My blog gained over 60,000 followers today, and it's still growing. I checked the comments and found out that 'Han Han' recommended 'The Long Road of Lü' on his own blog! A lot of new people have come!"

Zhai Da was somewhat surprised.

He was just using connections and favors; he could have predicted that Han Han would give him a perfunctory, overly complimentary recommendation, yet he still made a big deal out of it by posting a blog entry.
This is a top influencer right now, whose fame extends far beyond the literary world; few in the entertainment industry can compare. His recommendation of "The Long Road of Lü" should have an immediate impact on sales.

He must have been hurt by "The Long Road to Lu", and this is what he felt. He has always been quite free-spirited and dares to say anything, at least at his current age.

Zhai Da immediately clicked on the picture to see what Han Han had posted.

The unexpected event lasted quite a while.

"Yesterday, I was invited by the publisher to read a book that hasn't been released yet. I stayed up from 8 pm to 2 am, and then couldn't sleep all night."

"I only managed to detach myself from the emotions in the book after dawn, and fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up, it was already afternoon. I couldn't remember the last time I cried while reading a book, and I even found myself laughing at myself for crying."

"I asked the staff and found out that the author and I had a little unfounded entanglement. I checked the author's Weibo and found that he was actually serializing the contents of this book online. I'm not sure how much he will serialize, but I sincerely recommend it. He has a talent that I don't have. I will definitely buy a copy when the physical book is published. This work is worth it."

"I won't spoil any more, go watch it yourself, @BedExplorer here."

"His character may not be the best, but his work is excellent."

Zhai Da:
Damn it! Bring your stinky blog to court!
　If you don't vote, and I don't vote, then Xiao Xin will have a chance to rise to the top.
