Cultivation Shura Field

Tang Lingfei's tone also became serious: "Yes, it's very stressful!"

After a little thought, Xu Zhe understood why they were under pressure. If they wanted to go to the same university as him and take the normal college entrance examination, wouldn't the pressure be terrifying?

The difficulty is second only to TOP2.

Out of basic conscience, Xu Zhe warned: "The college entrance examination is very important, you must not think too simply."

Song Xingye smiled and said, "Yes, it is very important. So isn't it normal to want to go to a good school like Shanghai Jiaotong University?"

Xu Zhe: "...Then I can only say that you have to work hard. No matter whether you choose arts or science, you have to get more than 600 points in the exam."

Song Xingye smiled and nodded, then glanced to the side and saw that Tang Lingfei had frowned.

Then she understood that her best friend must have realized it as well - even if she had no idea how difficult high school was, just thinking about the current ranking, Feifei was afraid that she would never be able to reach that level.

At this time, Zeng Jing pushed open the door of the study, poked her head in and asked, "Xiaozhe brought back such good news, we are going out to eat to celebrate. What about you two? Do you want to go out to eat with us?"

Song Xingye was still a little reserved: "Will this be a bit of a bother for you?"

Zeng Jing: "It's not me who did it, what's the trouble? You are so familiar with Auntie, don't be polite."

"Thank you then," Song Xingye turned his head and took another look, "Fei Fei, why are you standing there? You didn't even react when we went out to eat something delicious?"

Tang Lingfei forced a smile: "Okay, of course I have no problem..."

----

After having lunch with Xu Zhe's family, Tang Lingfei returned to her home. Of course, Song Xingye followed her, after all, the original schedule for today was to have two hours of tutoring in the morning and afternoon.

But before the afternoon tutoring session began, Song Xingye discovered that Tang Lingfei was not watching TV or reading novels. Instead, she was sitting at the desk in her bedroom, holding a thick textbook, reading attentively.

Song Xingye sat next to her, glanced at the title on the cover of the book, and then asked, "Are you really teaching yourself music theory?"

Tang Lingfei: "Because Xu Zhe said we should start from the basics."

Song Xingye thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to compose music for his game?"

Tang Lingfei affirmed: "Yes, and I remember telling you about this."

Song Xingye smiled and said, "Yes, but I thought you were joking."

Tang Lingfei couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved by her bestie's words: "Why do you think I'm joking?"

Song Xingye was speechless for a moment.

After all, you can't just say something like 'With your personality, who would have thought you would actually sit down and study on your own'.

Tang Lingfei lowered her head and continued reading.

Song Xingye sat next to him for a while, and asked softly, "How about we skip tutoring this afternoon and leave it for you to read?"

Tang Lingfei said without even looking up: "Okay."

Song Xingye sat there, hesitating whether to say anything more. Of course, she could guess how her best friend felt at the moment. In fact, when she was having dinner with Xu Zhe and the others just now, Feifei had already acted a little depressed.

Song Xingye was not sure about getting into the top five universities in the country, and Tang Lingfei had no chance at all. Who could be happy just thinking about parting with the person they loved after three years of high school?

Song Xingye raised his head, swept his eyes across the small bookshelf, and picked out a copy of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame".

Of course she had read this book before, but at this moment, she just wanted to find something to make herself look less stupid while sitting here.

She had just turned a few pages of the novel when she heard Tang Lingfei suddenly say, "Xiao Ye, you must be very motivated now, right?"

Song Xingye: "Are you talking about the motivation to study?"

Tang Lingfei: "You study so well. If you keep up the good work and study hard every day, you can go to the same university as Xu Zhe..."

Song Xingye put down the book and said with a wry smile: "You overestimate me, don't you? It's not easy to get into a prestigious school like that."

Tang Lingfei stared at her and said, "But you just need to study hard. But I'm different. I have to think of other ways."

The two girls looked at each other for a moment.

At this time, Song Xingye suddenly found that there seemed to be a strange look in Feifei's eyes. It was not a sign of self-abandonment, but a kind of courage in facing challenges.

But what solution can this girl come up with?

Tang Lingfei patted the music theory textbook on the table and said, "I also checked online and found that students who take arts and sports exams can get extra points. I'm good at sports and I've learned a little music before, so I was just thinking... why not give it a try?"

Song Xingye couldn't help but ask: "So are you going to apply for sports specialty or art specialty?"

Tang Lingfei smiled and said, "Since Xu Zhe needs music to make games, I'll try this first!"

Seeing her best friend's confident look, Song Xingye managed to hold back from saying anything discouraging.

She actually wanted to say that no matter whether it was sports or arts, it was not that simple! She had heard of arts and sports students going to college, but to get into a prestigious school, she knew without a doubt that the competition would be extremely fierce. Maybe she would have to win awards in provincial or even national competitions, right?

Putting it aside for two or three years in junior high school, and only picking it up again in the third year of junior high school or the first year of high school to practice sports or music... That's too much of a disregard for those arts and sports students who have prepared seriously for five or six years. If they can all get into a prestigious school, how talented must Feifei be?

But Song Xingye didn't say what she was thinking. She just smiled and encouraged softly: "Then do your best."

However, at this time, Tang Lingfei said, "Xiao Ye, do you think I am overestimating my own abilities?"

Song Xingye was stunned: "Ah? No."

Tang Lingfei pursed her lips: "I can see that you seem to want to say something. Are you trying to say that being an arts student is not that simple?"

"Uh……"

Song Xingye didn't know what to say now. She was not good at lying to others' faces.

Tang Lingfei laughed, but her smile was a little heavy: "I also know that the hope may not be great, but we can't give up hope completely, right?"

Song Xingye was silent.

I don't know why. She was clearly a love rival in front of her, and they were discussing how to get close to the boy she liked. It should be a good thing for her if the other party couldn't succeed. But looking at Feifei, Song Xingye felt so moved that she wanted to cry.

Thanks to all the students from Daxing Northwest for the tip to Princess Tang Lingfei!

2023-09-30

Zou Tianyan hurriedly walked in the administrative building of Shanghai Jiaotong University. He put his hands in his trouser pockets, his face was gloomy, but his steps were quite fast.

He turned a corner, knocked on the door of the admissions office, pushed it open, and barged in.

The person on duty was a young student. He stood up and asked, "Which teacher are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?"

Zou Tianyan: "Teacher Li asked me to come here."

The student on duty was about to ask something else, but Teacher Li leaned out from the inner room and waved.

"Xiao Zou, come quickly, we are discussing your matter."

So the student on duty sat back down obediently.

When Zou Tianyan walked into the inner room, he found that in addition to Teacher Li, there was also a teacher from the administrative center. Of course, in Zou Tianyan's mind, although these two were older than him, their academic level was completely negligible, and they were basically management-type officials working in the administrative center.

Teacher Li pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down. I'm free too. We can have a good chat."

Zou Tianyan sat down and said, "I want to talk too. It's about the child I recommended last time. I hope you can make an exception and admit him."

Teacher Li picked up the water glass and took a sip: "Didn't you already sign the score reduction agreement?"

Zou Tianyan shook his head: "You don't know, this kind of kid can't be dealt with by just a score reduction agreement. We have to show our sincerity, otherwise, when he is snatched away by Tianhua, we will still be waiting foolishly!"

Teacher Li was a little puzzled: "I also looked at his information, it's not that exaggerated, right? Yes, it's true that a junior high school student who can get the provincial first place in NOIP in the third year of junior high school is quite capable, but there are junior high school students like this every year, and they are never as anxious as you. If he wants to go to Tianhua, he has to win a national award, which is not that easy..."

Zou Tianyan frowned, looking anxious: "I'll say it again, with his talent, the national award is really not a problem. Going to Tianhua is not a matter of whether he can or not, but whether he wants to."

Teacher Li: "I still don't quite understand. What did he do to make you think so highly of him?"

Zou Tianyan said solemnly: "The ideas he put forward to me really inspired my research. It is difficult to find a child with such ideas in junior high school, let alone in China or abroad, even among the top scientists in Silicon Valley."

Teacher Li took a deep breath and said, "Is it that exaggerated?"

Zou Tianyan knew that he had explained it too profoundly and that the other party would have a hard time understanding it, so he pondered for a moment and explained in the simplest language possible: "The inspiration Xu Zhe gave me helped our entire team change direction. Problems that previously required thousands of chips to handle can now be solved with just a few graphics cards!"

Teacher Li stared at him and didn't react for a moment.

Zou Tianyan continued, "At the end of this year, our team will participate in the international AI image recognition challenge. Our competitors include people from Google and scientists from Softmicro. But as long as those people don't have similar ideas this year, I dare say that we can definitely beat them all!"

Teacher Li murmured, "According to what you said, this child shouldn't even go to high school. He should go straight to your group to study for a doctorate."

Zou Tianyan nodded vigorously: "He should come directly! But I also know that he is only in the third year of junior high school now. It is too difficult to get a junior high school student to enter school as an exception. So I want to ask, besides lowering the score to sign the contract, is there any other way? Can it better reflect our sincerity..."

Teacher Li thought for a moment and said, "I understand how you feel now, Teacher Zou, but this rule is really hard to deal with. It's impossible for students to be specially recruited for admission according to the current hard quota."

Zou Tianyan: "Can the score reduction agreement be further extended? For example, reduce his score by 300 or 400 points..."

Teacher Li sighed: "Do you think this is meaningful? He has already been lowered to the first-tier line. According to what you said, since he is so smart, it will definitely not be a problem for him to get into the first-tier line."

Zou Tianyan couldn't help but tug at the seam of his pants: "But exams are always accidental. What if he has diarrhea on the day of the college entrance examination?"

Teacher Li frowned, "Your explanation is a bit unreasonable... If it really doesn't work, we can send him an invitation letter for the next summer or winter camp organized by our school. Let him come in directly through independent enrollment, right?"

Zou Tianyan rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, okay, this should be fine."

Teacher Li reminded him, "But it's still impossible in the third year of junior high school. It would be reasonable to wait until the second year of high school, or at least the summer vacation of the second year of high school. And there is another problem. Even if it is a self-enrollment, he still needs to come up with some hard conditions."

"Hard conditions?" Zou Tianyan suddenly slapped his forehead. "Oh, right, he started his own business. Is this considered a hard condition?"

Teacher Li had a question mark on his face: "What kind of business is this for a junior high school student? Are you going to help your parents open a canteen?"

Zou Tianyan quickly explained: "No, no, no, it's a game he made himself. It's quite fun. I even bought one and put it on my phone. Take a look..."

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone again, opened "Ski Adventure", stood next to the desk, and showed the screen to the two teachers while playing.

Teacher Li looked at it for a while and couldn't help but wonder, "Can a junior high school student make this?"

Zou Tianyan put away his phone with a sincere look on his face: "So do you understand now? This kid really has a bright future. He can do game development and programming. Look here, there are more than downloads. A game sells for six yuan. If you think about it, it’s hundreds of thousands more!”

Teacher Li had to express his doubts: "The more you say this, the less I believe it. An average game company might not be able to do this. What kind of background does he have?"

Zou Tianyan really wanted to defend the little genius in his mind, but because he didn't know much about the gaming industry, he naturally couldn't think of what to say at this time.

But at this moment, the teacher next to him who had remained silent suddenly spoke.

He said leisurely: "I believe this kid has no background. Otherwise, why not sign up for the National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition? As long as you have a little connections, a little more knowledge, and know this way, it is possible to get into Vantage University."

Teacher Li also had an idea: "Yes, if you ask this child to show proof that he made a game, we can help him sign up for the innovation competition. As long as he wins the prize, won't this hard indicator be met?"

Zou Tianyan couldn't help but slap his thigh: "I'll tell him right now!"

On Wednesday afternoon, during math class, Xu Zhe's cell phone vibrated.

He knew it was a call on silent mode. He couldn't answer it during class, so he could only reach into his trouser pocket and reject the call.

But for nearly ten minutes, the phone kept vibrating...

Xu Zhe impatiently took out his cell phone and took a look under the desk. Then he saw 21 missed calls in a row, all from Associate Professor Zou from Shanghai Jiaotong University.

This is very confusing - just at this moment, the 22nd call came.

Xu Zhe raised his hand: "Teacher Zhao, I have something urgent here."

Teacher Zhao was explaining the median theorem of a triangle, but he stopped and looked at the boy with interest.

He asked, "What do you want?"

Xu Zhe: "How should I put it? I'll explain it to you later, okay?"

After all, there was no way to explain it now, and he didn't know why Teacher Zou was so anxious to find him.

Xu Zhe stood in the corridor outside the classroom and listened to the plan Zou Tianyan presented to him.
