I failed a course, and the system became my study supervisor.

Chapter 62: Football Field by the Sea
"Okay, the dormitory in front is where you will be staying for the time being. This is your life assistant. She will arrange your room."

Chen Qingguo stopped and introduced the life assistant to everyone. She was a middle-aged woman named Aunt Zhang, with a very kind face.

Chen Qingguo then continued, "Considering you've come all this way and are exhausted, you should rest early today. You can explore the school freely tomorrow. The project will officially begin the day after tomorrow, and I'll tell you more about it then."

After saying that, Chen Qingguo gave Aunt Zhang a few more instructions and left first.

Aunt Zhang arranged double rooms for everyone, and coincidentally, Xu Ling and Yu Wenkai were assigned to the same room.

After arriving at the room and putting away his luggage, Xu Ling finally understood why many people called the dormitory of Hong Kong City University of Science and Technology the most beautiful dormitory.

This is definitely a first-line sea view room!
There is a charming bay just outside the window.

The sea breeze blows, the waves surge, and the beacon lights at night rise and fall with the waves, appearing and disappearing, flickering.

In addition to the sea view, Xu Ling could tell at a glance that all the items in the room, including bed sheets and quilt covers, were new.

For a moment, Xu Ling was really enjoying himself and didn't want to leave.

"Let's go to the football field tomorrow. I see a lot of people are talking about it online."

Yu Wenkai suggested.

"Just take a look when the time comes."

Xu Ling's tone was somewhat disapproving.

Where haven’t you seen a football field?

However, when Xu Ling stood on the football field early the next morning, he realized that he was completely wrong.

Although Shanghai is also a coastal city, Xu Ling has never seen a seaside football field like this one.

For the first time, Xu Ling understood the feeling of "facing the sea, spring flowers blooming" in Haizi's poem.

It’s hard to imagine how enjoyable it would be to play a game of football here!
A day is neither long nor short.

Xu Ling and Yu Wenkai took a quick tour of the entire campus. From the Seaview Library to the Seaview Canteen, Xu Ling felt the unique romance of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

It is worth mentioning that the cafeteria here is really good. Xu Ling tasted Italian food for the first time.

"Before this exchange program officially opens, I would like to once again welcome all the students who have come all the way from Shanghai University."

After Chen Qingguo finished speaking, he led the applause.

That’s right, this academic exchange activity is about to officially begin.

Xu Ling and everyone else were in a small to medium-sized conference room at this time.

Many students and teachers from City University of Hong Kong also attended the opening ceremony.

At this time, Chen Qingguo was speaking in the main seat, explaining the purpose and significance of the event.

Xu Ling was not interested, he just wanted to know the specific arrangements of the event.

"This exchange lasted three weeks in total. The first week was devoted to courses related to power supply technology, which laid a solid foundation for subsequent work.

The next two weeks will be a group research project, and I will lead several teachers to organize the defense.

There is a break on weekends, and students can actively discuss and exchange ideas with teachers during their free time."

After a long time, Chen Qingguo finally talked about the point that Xu Ling was concerned about.

Coursework, research and defense?

This is a very neat arrangement.

Xu Ling was very satisfied. Yu Wenkai, who was sitting next to him, also nodded slightly.

The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.

Xu Ling was a little distressed when he was woken up by the alarm clock.

Who knew there was also early morning wake-up during summer vacation?

From this angle, it seems that the sea view room is not so comfortable after all. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Xu Ling climbed out of bed, only to see something extremely terrifying.

I saw that Yu Wenkai had already gotten up and was sitting at his desk writing and drawing with a pen.

No? Buddy?

Is it so curly?
Xu Ling immediately became much more alert.

At this moment, Yu Wenkai stopped writing, turned around, and said:
"Are you up? I was just about to call you. Class is about to start. Hurry up and wash up. I'll wait for you to go together."

Xu Ling had no choice but to nod, and secretly made up his mind to get up early the next day.

As a top student, how can it be possible that I am not as aware as others?

After rushing for a long time, the two finally arrived at the classroom, where the teacher was already waiting.

He is a middle-aged man who looks very energetic.

Since they arrived on time, there were no seats left in the front row, so Xu Ling and Yu Wenkai had to sit in the last row.

Afterwards, the teacher introduced himself and began the class.

The teacher's name is Shen Huanan, a very regional name.

"In the next week, I will quickly explain the basic power supply technology course for everyone. I hope it will be helpful for your future research projects."

Shen Huanan said loudly, "First of all, is there any student who can share with us the classification of common batteries?"

Xu Ling didn't say anything, and the atmosphere in the classroom became a little quiet.

Just as Shen Huanan was about to speak, a voice came from the corner of the classroom:
“Here! Normal battries”

However, before the student even started speaking, Shen Huanan interrupted him:

"Student, could you please speak Chinese? Mandarin would be best."

"Why, I want to speak English." (This has been translated)

He held his head high, looking somewhat disdainful.

"Many students come from Shanghai University and may not be familiar with English."

Shen Huanan said to him patiently.

This is indeed the case. Although Xu Ling's linguistics has reached level 1, the different language environment makes it difficult for him to listen to spoken language with many proper nouns.

But the classmate didn't seem to appreciate it, because although he didn't speak English anymore, he spoke Cantonese:

"Common batteries include primary batteries, rechargeable batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, etc. Primary batteries include zinc-manganese batteries."

You might as well speak English!
It is absolutely impossible to understand Cantonese. The strange intonation is as unpredictable as opera.

Yu Wenkai also frowned.

But Shen Huanan couldn't say anything else. At least the other person was speaking Chinese. At worst, he would just not wake him up next time.

Without being interrupted, the student finished expressing his views in full.

In fact, from a knowledge perspective, his summary is very complete.

But his language did not take the audience into consideration at all. In Xu Ling's opinion, it was somewhat disrespectful to them, the mainland students.

Xu Ling didn't say anything for the time being. Adhering to the principle that less is more, he continued to listen to the class quietly.

However, the peace was soon broken again.

Shen Huanan set up an exchange and discussion session to mainly explore the advantages and disadvantages of the various types of batteries just mentioned.

The classmate was very close to Xu Ling and Yu Wenkai, so naturally they were together during the discussion.
