After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 371 Admissions Examination, Breakthrough in the Virtual World (Career)

In early July, students from all grades at the University of Finance and Economics finished their exams and began their holidays.

Therefore, it will not affect the entrance examination on the morning of the 4th.

There were a total of 999 test takers, but only 43 of them were local students.

Because of the proximity, locals could arrive that morning, while the remaining 900-plus out-of-town test takers arrived on the 3rd and checked into hotels, with some arriving even earlier on the 1st and 2nd, accompanied by their parents.

That morning, including parents, more than two thousand people came to the University of Finance and Economics, forming a large and bustling crowd.

"Son, don't be nervous later, okay? Just treat it like a normal exam. If you pass, you pass; if you don't, you don't.

"Mom, I see."

"Dad, do you think I can get accepted? I have 998 competitors!"

"Honey, Mommy and Daddy believe in you. You can do it!"

Parents and children encouraged each other.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.

Among these candidates, a small portion did not score high in the college entrance examination, only around 400 or 500 points. They were not top students and could only be considered average or below average students in their respective schools. In some of their provinces, a score of 500 points was not even enough to get into a first-tier university, and they could only attend a second-tier university. These students were inherently disadvantaged, and they instinctively felt inferior when facing those who were truly top students.

But these top students are different. Like a beautiful girl, she has been the center of attention since childhood, and almost everyone around her is kind to her, so she cannot feel inferior.

The top students naturally acted the same way, each displaying an air of having the upper hand and being determined to win.

"Dad, where is Young Master Xu?"

Old Du brought his daughter here today. Her name is Du Xiaoxiao. She is taking the college entrance examination this year. She is eighteen years old and has grown up to be very beautiful.

Like many young men and women, she also admired Xu Lin.

Xu Lin has now become a source of writing material for students, including in Chinese and English essays, and his work is widely used.

Anyone who's been there knows that to become writing material, and even more so to be widely used, someone has to be incredibly talented. Otherwise, why would students keep writing about you?
More than two thousand years ago, Huo Qubing emerged, shining brightly throughout the history of China. Among the many stars in Chinese history, he was so dazzling. For more than two thousand years, generation after generation has tried to pursue his achievements.

Now, Xu Lin is the Huo Qubing of our time.

Many young people admire him.

Who doesn't want to achieve great things at a young age?

"He should be here soon."

Old Du is also waiting for Xu Lin.

Just a few minutes later.

With the roar of a motorcycle, Xu Lin appeared riding a white BMW 1000RR.

Many people noticed him.

"Young Master Xu has arrived!"

"Mom, look at Young Master Xu!"

"Mom saw it!"

In fact, it has been proven that when you are young, you shouldn't look at people who are too dazzling.

How dazzling is Xu Lin?

These students, who had repeatedly expressed their thoughts in their Chinese essays, suddenly found themselves at a loss for words.

Twenties are the best years for a boy.

Xu Lin was no exception.

At twenty-one, Xu Lin had entered his complete form, becoming incredibly handsome and charismatic.

Even though he was only wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and camouflage cargo pants today, a very casual outfit.

But he's just so handsome.

People greeted Xu Lin, and Xu Lin responded warmly.

He has always been approachable.

"Young Master Xu!"

Old Du called out to Xu Lin.

Xu Lin saw him and drove over.

"Old Du, you look great today!"

"Haha, it's alright."

Old Du laughed heartily.

Xu Lin stopped the car and his gaze fell on Du Xiaoxiao.

"Young Master Xu, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Du Xiaoxiao, Xiao as in 'knowing'!"

Du Xiaoxiao greeted him shyly.

"Hello."

Xu Lin asked, "Are you confident about the exam?"

"Have!"

"Having it is enough."

Xu Lin nodded slightly and said, "Good luck, try your best."

"Young Master Xu, was the exam difficult?" Du Xiaoxiao asked.

"It's still a bit difficult."

Many of you will be able to burst into tears in a moment, how can it not be difficult?

Xu Lin didn't chat with Du Xiaoxiao for long. He knew how irresistible he was to women; even women in their fifties and sixties couldn't resist his charm, let alone a young girl like Du Xiaoxiao.

The exam time arrived quickly.

All the candidates entered their respective examination rooms. Having just finished the college entrance examination, they were already very familiar with these procedures.

The parents, too, waited outside.

The actual exam lasts four hours, and these four hours will determine whether they can be among the top fifty and ultimately be admitted.

Everyone knows that studying with Young Master Xu is like being at the forefront of the times, a hundred times better than going to any top university.

In fact, school education is lagging behind. The knowledge that can be learned from textbooks is generally outdated and even seriously out of touch with the times. Many people only truly learn livelihood skills when they enter the workplace.

Many of the university teachers are no different from the students; they live in an ivory tower and are out of touch with the times. These teachers have never been out in society because they may have entered the university as teachers right after graduation. Therefore, they have never struggled in society and do not know how the world has developed.

Young Master Xu is different.

He is at the forefront of the times.

Many media outlets have said that Xu Lin is a great scientist comparable to Einstein and Newton.

How lucky would one be to be this man's student?

But in reality, these media outlets are being very conservative in their reporting.

Xu Lin is the only man in the world today who is not the leader of a superpower, yet possesses the immense power to influence the development of the times and the progress of humanity. He has already stood at the pinnacle of the world.

The media, however, have no idea; they don't have this concept, they don't know that individual power can be this great.

These students, around eighteen years old, had even less of a concept.

While the test takers were starting their exams, Xu Lin was smoking with Lao Du under a tree root outside.

"Young Master Xu, I've already sent someone to keep an eye on your girlfriend."

"Row."

"And that junior manager you mentioned, I'll ask them to look out for him and give him a promotion."

"Uh-huh."

Xu Lin nodded. "Thanks, Lao Du."

"By the way, Mr. Xu, my daughter would like you to sign this notebook!"

At this moment, Old Du smiled and took out a delicate little notebook.

"Signature? Sure."

Xu Lin took the notebook and pen and wrote on the first page: Young Master Xu.

Finally, feeling it wasn't enough, he added: "I hope your life will be smooth sailing in the future."

His handwriting is beautiful; it is currently the most beautiful handwriting in the world, bar none.

After finishing writing, Xu Lin handed the notebook to Lao Du.

The two chatted for twenty minutes before Xu Lin got up.

"Old Du, I'm going to walk around the exam hall."

"it is good."

Before long, Xu Lin started walking around outside the examination hall. There were 999 candidates, 36 people in each examination room, and a total of 28 examination rooms, which were all crammed into one teaching building.

As Xu was leaving the examination hall, he looked through the window and saw many candidates scratching their heads and looking worried.

At first, they thought it would be as difficult as the college entrance examination, or at most a little harder, which they could handle.

But soon they discovered what the hell this exam paper was.
Xu Lin even noticed that one of the girls in one of the exam rooms had tears in her eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Lin thought to himself, "Child, your life has only just begun, how can you so easily get teary-eyed?"

Four hours passed in agony for thousands of students.

When the exams are over, parents will see their children either looking worried or bursting into tears.

"Mom, I failed my test! Waaaaah..."

"Dad, I'm going to lose the election..."

"Mom and Dad, what should I do if I didn't do well on the test?" One by one, the eighteen-year-old boys and girls had long faces, and those with low tolerance for stress burst into tears.

Immediately, cries erupted outside the examination hall.

It's worth noting that many of them are top students who scored around 700 points on the college entrance exam.

But it still couldn't hold on.

Or perhaps some of the boys among them, who are over 1.9 or even 2 meters tall, are crying like children at this moment.

This incident quickly rose to the top of the trending searches.

"Wow, even the college entrance exam site isn't this exaggerated, right? When I took the college entrance exam, I didn't even see any of my peers crying. At most, they just looked worried. How many people are crying here now?"

"They say the exam is too difficult, but just how difficult is it?"

"This exam is a bit outrageous. There's a big, non-mandatory question that tests the P and NP problems. These are among the top ten unsolved mathematical problems in the world! How could they put this out there? Seriously, is this question a joke? Nobody has ever been able to solve it, right?"

"This problem is known as the 'holy grail' of computer science. If you're interested, you can look it up to see what it's about. What I want to say is that if this problem is solved, cryptography, artificial intelligence, and other related fields will be completely rewritten."

"Rewrite what? Young Master Xu has already created intelligent life forms, do you think he rewrote them?"

"So, Young Master Xu has already solved this difficult problem?"

While netizens were discussing it heatedly.

At 2 PM, Xu Lin posted the answers to the entire test paper on Weibo.

Weibo: I saw many candidates crying, and I thought to myself, your lives have just begun, how can you shed tears so easily? Well, actually this exam paper is quite difficult, so I expect it will be hard for anyone to get a passing score. But don't panic, the admission rules are always based on merit. Even if you only have 40 points, as long as you are the highest scorer, you can become my student.

"It's hard for anyone to fail. How difficult was your test, Young Master Xu?"

"The exam paper has already been leaked online. My high school math teacher, who is an expert in setting college entrance exam questions, said that this exam paper is very difficult, and he couldn't even answer the later questions."

"Your math teacher would be a fool to solve P and NP problems; he'd have to win the Fields Medal!"

"I'm so excited! The answer is out! Young Master Xu really released the answer to the P and NP problem!"

"I'll go take a look."

"Liberal arts students can't understand it at all."

"Liberal arts students, let those mathematicians who specialize in mathematics see this. Heavenly-level cultivation techniques are not something mortals like us can understand."

"I don't know if this is the answer, but I can only say that Young Master Xu is really amazing. He always throws out a big one without saying a word."

While the online discussion was in full swing, Xu Lin also began grading the exam papers.

How long would it take to grade 999 exam papers?
Actually, it doesn't take much time. Math is unlike Chinese or humanities subjects like history and politics, which have a lot of subjective questions and the graders have to read them slowly. But with math, you can tell what's going on at a glance.

Furthermore, Xu Lin was able to multitask.

Therefore, Xu Lin finished grading the test papers at home using four computers.

It only takes two hours.

"The highest score was only 68 points, so it seems that the test was a bit too difficult."

Who is this child?

Unlike the college entrance examination marking, the markers cannot see any information about the candidates, and the questions they deal with are all from one person to another.

Xu Lin was alone here, and he knew all the candidates' information.

The information includes four points: name and ID number, plus exam room number and seat number.

Xu Lin glanced at the results and saw that the student who scored 68 points was a boy named Xu Xiulin.

Xu Lin checked his college entrance examination scores again.

He can let the Moon Goddess freely access this kind of online information.

Xu Xiulin scored 613 points in the college entrance examination, which also showed a serious imbalance in her subjects, but she scored 150 in mathematics.

If it weren't for Xu Lin, he would have only been able to attend an ordinary key university.

In recent years, the country has given preferential treatment to candidates who are good at mathematics. With a score of 150 in mathematics, he can choose universities that have enrollment plans in this area, including many key universities.

In the past, a total score of 613 would only get you into a top-tier university in a province with a high number of college entrance exam takers.

Xu Xiulin lives in a province with a high number of college entrance exam takers. The college entrance exam there is like hell, and there are no 985 universities or 211 universities in the province. The supply of first-tier and second-tier universities is far from enough. Many students who score over 500 points study hard from dawn to dusk but end up in junior colleges. They can't even get into a private second-tier university, which used to be a third-tier university.

Xu Lin took another look. Xu Xiulin's family background was just average. Of course, it wasn't like those candidates whose families were so miserable that the media often exaggerated it. Xu Xiulin's family was just an ordinary family. Her mother worked as a property manager in a residential community, and her father worked on construction sites.

Xu Lin then looked at the remaining 49 people, including 12 candidates who were somewhat unbalanced in certain subjects, or even very unbalanced in others. However, this refers to those who were particularly unbalanced in mathematics. If they were to follow the normal rules of the college entrance examination, these people would only be able to attend a first-tier or second-tier university.

But with Xu Lin, their chance to defy fate had arrived.

"You will have to thank me later, because starting with your generation, the fate of your family will be completely rewritten."

“In peacetime, you all have the opportunity to have your own family genealogy, but only I can give you this opportunity.”

Xu Lin drank half a bottle of beer, leisurely and carefree.

He then called Li Yunfei and said that the information and exam results of the admitted students were about to be uploaded to the school's official website.

"Xu Lin, so fast?"

"They were almost all blank papers, how could it not be fast?"

"Ha ha……"

“A friend of mine at the Beijing Mathematical Academy said that you solved that mathematical problem, and now the international mathematics community is in an uproar. The next period of time will be spent verifying whether the answer to this problem is correct. You’ll have to win the Fields Medal then…”

Li Yunfei brought up this matter.

"Then let them keep shaking."

"Ha ha……"

"I need to announce the list of admitted students now."

"Row."

Xu Lin ignored matters in the mathematics community; they were just empty titles.

He's into creation. What is creation? Take mobile phones, for example. They're a combination of many technologies and theories. Xu Lin recently released a detailed answer to a mathematical problem, but that's nothing special for him. To create the Moon God, Xu Lin conquered and updated many theories. If he were to release all of these theories, the scientific and mathematical communities would have to digest them for a long time.

Later, his virtual world emerged, accompanied by numerous theoretical and technological updates.

Therefore, Xu Lin didn't pay any attention to the math problem.

It took Xu Lin more than ten minutes to prepare an official announcement, ranking the fifty admitted candidates in descending order of their scores.

The specific format is: name, high school from, and final exam score.

Xu Lin posted this announcement on his own official website, and it was also simultaneously published on the official website of the University of Finance and Economics.

Then, Xu Lin posted on Weibo: Grading complete! First of all, congratulations to these fifty students! It's early July now, and there are still two months of summer vacation ahead. I hope you have the most wonderful vacation of your lives!
At the end of the Weibo post, two links were attached: one to the official website of the University of Finance and Economics and the other to Xu Lin's official website. The content of both links was essentially the same.

The post on Weibo quickly sparked heated discussions.

On the other side, fifty families of the test takers were in a frenzy of celebration.

But as the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad, and the remaining 949 families, especially the students themselves, can only feel disappointed.

However, that's how the world is. It's impossible for everyone to eat delicious food. If everyone had to eat it, then it wouldn't be delicious food.

The next day, the college entrance examination application system also removed the reference information of the 50 students who had been admitted.

Fifty people are insignificant in the college entrance examination application system, because there are still more than ten million candidates this year, although many of them are retaking the exam.

But many of these 50 people understand that their fate may be changed from this moment on.

A powerful hand lifted them up, allowing their future to soar to new heights.

Their future can go very far, and their future achievements may be very great.

Over the next three days, Xu Lin took the time to write three textbooks for his major during the first semester of his freshman year.

There's nothing we can do; there isn't a single textbook in the world that's suitable for his field.

One of them was even a math textbook.

Mathematics is a vast system of knowledge, containing a great deal of information, and Xu Lin could not possibly have them learn it all.

Therefore, Xu Lin refined the knowledge so that they could apply what they learned.

As long as they can keep up with Xu Lin's pace, after four years, their math level will be higher than that of a math PhD.

Three days and three textbooks were enough time for Xu Lin, because he had the help of the Moon Goddess.

As for the first semester of freshman year, there are only three textbooks, which is enough.

Xu Lin felt that practice was more important. He considered the knowledge in textbooks to be meaningless. Anyone could memorize a bunch of random theories, but that stuff wasn't his.

If they can come up with any inventions or creations during their university years, their future will not be bad.

Xu Lin went there with the goal of cultivating top-notch talent.

On the 7rd.

Xu Lin called Zheng Xincheng and asked him to move his laboratory and company to Jiangdu.

Xu Lin will take a break for the rest of July.

But starting in August, Xu Lin prepared to make his mark in the virtual world.

From mid-February to now, almost five months later, Xu Lin and his team have actually achieved significant results in the virtual world. That's why Xu Lin was able to say that his students will have the opportunity to see their achievements as soon as possible.

Currently, Xu Lin is able to enter a small, incomplete virtual world through a complex device. This virtual world is only about the size of a 6×4×3 room, and only Xu Lin can enter it because other people's mental endurance is not strong enough to log in with their consciousness. Only Xu Lin meets the requirements. Moreover, even Xu Lin can only stay for less than half an hour, otherwise he will feel dizzy or even vomit.

But regardless, this is already a major breakthrough.

When humans first took to the skies in 1903 aboard the Flyer I, it meant that one day humanity would be able to realize its dream of soaring through the sky.

The same applies to Xu Lin; once there's a first step, there will be a second and countless more.

Zheng Xincheng has a high level of execution. He started moving the company and laboratory over the next day and will complete the relocation and assembly of various equipment within three days.

However, this was just a side story for Xu Lin.

Taking advantage of the summer vacation, Xu Lin planned to give himself a short break.
