Prelude
It was lunchtime, and the cosplayers who were traveling independently needed a break. Therefore, there wasn't a large crowd of people around them.
Soon, the seven Auroras pushed and shoved their way to the interstellar beauty.
"Wow!" Du Xingwei held his face and exclaimed loudly.
He likes anime and beautiful cosplay photos, but he has some elements of "Ye Gong's love of dragons".
I have never been to a comic convention before, so I have a deep understanding of ACE culture.
Apart from Ai-chan on the final night, it was the first time he saw an anime character appear alive in front of him, and his pupils dilated several times due to excitement.
"Hello—so exquisite! How did you do that? How did your ears become elf ears?"
The handsome god of war lowered his eyes and glanced at Du Xingwei lightly with a deep gaze.
"I'm sorry, I think I offended you." Du Xingwei clasped his hands together and pleaded, "This is my first time participating. I mean no harm, I'm just curious. Don't be angry~"
The other person was still staring at Du Xingwei, as if he wanted to see something from his face, or let him see something from his face.
The accompanying makeup artist, noticing they were staring at each other for too long, stepped forward to explain, "The elf's ear tips aren't glued on. No matter how hard you try, there'll still be gaps and texture differences. So, we made a mold of the entire ear and put it over his natural ear. By covering it with hair, the gap behind it won't be visible. Do you understand?"
"Oh~ I understand!" Du Xingwei stood on tiptoe, got very close, stared at his ears for a while, and was sure that the ears were not grown by the beauty himself.
"You're actually a real person." Du Xingwei was even more amazed. "So beautiful! I thought you traveled from an anime. The last time I thought so was when my teammate turned into a girl. I thought he traveled back from the Warring States Period."
After saying that, Du Xingwei noticed that the other person's eyes darkened.
He thought he had been talking too much nonsense and had upset the beautiful lady, so he angrily stopped talking and prepared to leave.
The other six teammates came to accompany Du Xingwei more than to see the beauty.
They didn't understand the ecosystem of independent travel. Seeing that the Star Wars God ignored Du Xingwei, and hearing people around them chattering about how beauties were designed to be "aloof", they didn't make the tact to strike up a conversation. They just took a quick look and prepared to leave.
Mu Gan, holding a cup of bamboo tube milk tea, lazily fell behind and slowly walked past the interstellar beauty.
The distance was very close, he took away the milk tea cup, stared at the other person for a few seconds, and then moved closer to smell it.
"Yi Jingchen?" Mu Gan opened his eyes wide and asked with his mouth.
Yi Jingchen was being "ignored" by his teammates and was feeling depressed, but when he noticed Mu Gan's reaction, he became energetic again.
He stared at Mu Gan eagerly, as if asking with his eyes, "How did you recognize me?"
"I can smell the original body. You smell like a kitten." Mu Gan took another sip of milk tea and pointed at the inconspicuous part of Yi Jingchen's fake hair. "It's still stained with its fur."
Yi Jingchen lowered his head silently and didn't see the hair.
Mu Gan reached out and stroked his hair, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Don't tell them." Yi Jingchen whispered, "My teammates don't know I'm doing this outside."
Mu Gan complained, "What a lame joke," but still responded.
Even if Yi Jingchen didn't remind him, he was too lazy to say it.
——Who made them unable to recognize it?
The peak passenger flow for independent travel activities is often concentrated in the afternoon and evening.
Many children who had not originally planned to participate rushed over after hearing that a god-level SSR had been opened on the spot.
Interstellar Beauty had already been surrounded in the morning, and with even more people in the afternoon, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape.
Moreover, the team had only applied for half a day.
After noon, the beauty who captivated everyone waved her sleeves and disappeared into the bustling crowd.
The child who came back empty-handed could only breathe the air where the beauty had stayed, feeling full of disappointment.
"I saw the picture in the group chat and immediately put on makeup and rushed over. Why did he leave?"
"I'm a little late. I really want to see if she's as pretty as in the photos."
"I was there, I can testify, she was even more beautiful than in the photos, so beautiful it took my breath away! Scream! Explode right there!"
"Is he coming tomorrow? Is there any preview on Weibo?"
"Come to think of it, hasn't anyone dug out his Weibo yet?"
"He didn't say it himself, but everyone guessed..."
Everyone is guessing, but no one has actually made it clear.
After all, with so many people at the scene, no one could recognize the beauty's face 100%.
Even with 99.9% accuracy, if there is a 0.1% error, you may have to quit the teaching.
Just as a small number of people were hesitating, wondering whether to speak out their guess.
The young lady who just played the role of the little prince and took photos with the beauty posted a new Weibo post with her own words.
'Aa ...
Even through the screen, everyone could feel her happy screams, and they all teased the young lady for being so reserved on stage, but being a little idiot online.
She just revealed her Weibo ID. The videos and photos were widely circulated and her followers increased rapidly.
Looking through the follow list, I'm not sure who she's following.
Everyone studied her previous Weibo and found that this silly girl recorded in detail the entire process of preparing clothes, making props, and trying on clothes.
The first time she put on the full makeup of the little prince, she took a selfie in the mirror and posted a post a little shyly:
"Even though I can't make it as delicate as my cat, I'm very satisfied that I can achieve this level for the first time~"
Look at her previous Weibo reposts. Maodian actively comments and reposts every Weibo post, so anyone can guess who she is supporting.
Following this clue, everyone opened the big account of Maodian that had not been open for a long time.
There is no new member addition, but the number of followers increases by one.
Although Maodian is a top cosplayer, he does not consider himself an internet celebrity or a big shot. He will read everyone's private messages carefully and try his best to reply to cat fans in need.
If I meet someone I admire, or someone who is a great producer, I will follow them.
Therefore, the number of followers of a big account +1 does not seem to be a big deal.
The problem is that when everyone clicked on Maodian’s new followers, they found that the person he was following was the young lady just now.
The cat chef gasped.
It’s confirmed.
The Cat Palace had been wandering around unscrupulously for so long, and with so many cat lovers present, no one dared to go over and claim their own cat.
The online cat fans were very excited, and Chen's sister also joined in and suggested that they quit the church collectively.
The cat chef felt very aggrieved and retorted: Look at his face, can you recognize him?
My elder sister: ...
Sorry to bother you, goodbye.
My silly silver tabby cat doesn't look like this.
After netizens followed the clues, the identity of the SSR issued by the free traveler was finally confirmed, causing more people to regret and wonder why they did not rush to participate.
Maodian Benmao didn't want to keep it a secret from everyone. When he saw Maochu found out, he generously shared a group of photos taken after he left. The photo with the young lady was placed in the center, and he tagged her.
The young lady arrived quickly and almost fainted with happiness. She posted hundreds of confessions in the comment section of Cat Palace, making the surrounding cat fans extremely jealous.
[My cat is resurrecting! ! ! ]
【Resurrection! My love~! 】
Jealousy makes me blind! Jealousy makes me split apart!! Why didn’t you tell me in advance!!!
[Back to the previous post, there is a tradition of opening blind boxes among free travellers, and other cosplayers will not be notified in advance. In addition, there are traffic and visitor flow controls on site, so if all the cat fans go, the event will not be able to go on.]
[u1s1, actually, Protector Zuo gave us a sneak peek. She even organized an offline group, but many people didn't join because it was too hot and crowded.]
[Woo woo woo, is this God’s punishment for a lazy guy?]
"Actually, if the first group of cat fans had recognized it, they would have had plenty of time to pass on the message to the organization. Instead, they were all preoccupied with Shashasha!"
[I'm laying my cards on the table. I'm just an old pervert who only knows how to shashasha.]
[Next time someone says that Cat Palace is purely retouched, I will really get angry! I am really super delicate, like a moving BJD doll]
[It is no exaggeration to say that this deity has the kind of beauty that makes her look like she grew up drinking dew and has never pooped in her life. She even got a real paper figure.]
Is it really that beautiful? I don't believe it. I've seen silly silver gradients before [lemon essence.jpg]
[Silly Silver Gradient and Cat Palace are from two different universe dimensions, please don’t try to offend me, thank you]
Am I the only one who envied the girl taking photos with Cat Palace? When is the next event? Is it too late to prepare a cosplay now?
At the same time, after taking the photos, Yi Jingchen took off his exquisite and gorgeous makeup, changed into casual clothes, squatted at the air outlet of the running air conditioner, and stuck out his tongue to cool down.
Li Jibai packed up his clothes and props, and when he looked back at his senior's appearance, he suddenly felt a sense of disconnection.
To be honest, when I first recognized Yi Jingchen, he was wearing eight hundred layers of filters and often confused the second and third dimensions.
After three months of getting along, little JB has already grasped the difference between 'Yi Jingchen' and 'Mao Dian'.
How could a cat palace as noble as a god stick out its tongue to dissipate heat?
"Put your tongue back, you're not a dog." The makeup artist brushed away her sweaty hair and handed Yi Jingchen a bottle of ice water.
"It's hot!" Yi Jingchen unscrewed the bottle cap and complained, "The highest temperature today is 30 degrees Celsius, and I'm wearing four layers of clothes!"
At the end of April, all parts of the country entered the summer mode with one click.
The officials who organized the free travel event specifically checked the weather forecast and chose a good day with clear skies.
The look that Yi Jingchen finally decided on is not only beautiful, but the makeup effect is also amazing.
However, in the hot summer, wearing heavy military uniform and long boots, standing in the sun, he even felt like he was having a sauna inside his clothes.
Li Jibai and the makeup artist accompanied him out and took photos, so they could naturally understand Yi Jingchen's feelings.
The two people were wearing thin short-sleeved shirts and sun hats, but they were still sweating profusely from the heat.
Li Jibai felt so hot during the trip that he went out to buy some bayberry jelly to cool down.
But Yi Jingchen was afraid of his makeup coming off, so he couldn't eat and could only watch them eat.
"Senior, you have worked hard." Li Jibai said sincerely.
Even though it was so hot, Yi Jingchen didn't lose his composure until he left for the photo shoot.
Sure enough, the cosplay costume seems to be his seal.
The makeup lady also praised, "Your cat character is well maintained today."
"Of course, I tried my best~" Yi Jingchen raised his cat face proudly.
"but--"
The makeup artist changed the subject.
"I can't take part in the free tour next time."
Free travel activities are large in scale, have low thresholds, and relatively weak security.
This time, he relied on Yi Jingchen's stable cat character and the makeup artist's makeup skills that even his own mother wouldn't recognize.
In addition, everyone knows that Yi Jingchen has had a lot of announcements since his debut, so many people didn't think about it that way. Even if they did, they were afraid of the embarrassment of admitting their mistakes, so they didn't cause any trouble.
With this previous experience, Yi Jingchen will have a high chance of being recognized next time he travels on his own.
Even ACG activities are mostly for those who are not interested in the entertainment industry. However, Yi Jingchen's popularity is rising, and refugees will be targeted by paparazzi and extreme fans.
Yi Jingchen let out an "ah" sound, his expression clearly disappointed.
The makeup artist added, "There are a lot of non-commercial exhibitions right now. The security is pretty good and the atmosphere is great. I'll help you get in touch with them later."
"Okay~" Yi Jingchen agreed and said happily, "I want to participate in the ACG exhibition next year."
"Are you serious? There are cat lovers in there." The makeup lady stared at the stupid cat, "You will be sucked dry by them."
"It's not that scary." Yi Jingchen muttered fearfully, "I have nine lives."
Li Jibai thought about it and said seriously, "Even if you have ninety lives, it's still not enough for them to absorb."
Yi Jingchen: ...
Shouldn't.
I'm just a weak little kitten.
Du Xingwei and his teammates happily visited the exhibition and returned to the dormitory, only to find that Maodian had been on duty in the afternoon.
Seeing his new Weibo post, Aurora was collectively devastated.
"He...that...huh?!"
"No, it's fake, right?"
"So, that's Yi Jingchen?"
"To be precise, that is the Cat Palace, and the person in the Cat Palace is Yi Jingchen."
"I'm almost dizzy! Anyway, we met the captain, right?"
"Ah! No wonder he stared at me for so long!"
Six people gathered around the phone, opened the large picture, and confirmed it one by one, with disbelief written all over their faces.
Noticing that Mu Gan was still drinking milk nearby, everyone thought he hadn't reacted and put the screen under Mu Gan's nose.
"Look! That beautiful person we met today turned out to be Yi Jingchen! He even pretended not to know us!"
"Hold it farther away." Nai Gan pushed his hand away, "How can I see clearly like this?"
Mu Gan just glanced at it and said calmly, "I know."
"How do you know?!" The teammates looked at him with suspicion.
Mu Gan didn't bother to explain and gave the most powerful reason, "Because we are teammates."
“…”
The air fell into silence.
Mu Gan stabbed again, "What? Could it be that someone can't even recognize their teammates?"
“…”
Stop cursing, stop cursing!
Before Yi Jingchen returned to the dormitory, he thought of meeting Senior Mushroom and other friends during the day.
Du Xingwei is interested in independent travel, and big data will definitely push related content. It is very likely that he knows that he secretly went out to do cat things without telling anyone.
Yi Jingchen sneaked back to the dormitory, ready to face the storm.
As a result, the dormitory was peaceful and the teammates even prepared dinner in advance.
"Captain, you're back." You Lingyu greeted with a smile.
Yan Zhichen was holding the main body and feeding it freeze-dried food, completing the "cat feeding task" assigned by Yi Jingchen very well.
The others were gathered in the kitchen. Hearing the noise, Shu Lang poked his head out and said, "Wash your hands and get ready to eat. You didn't eat enough yesterday, so I made braised prawns today."
"Wow! Brother, you are so nice!" Yi Jingchen was very touched, but he felt something was wrong.
My teammates seem a little weird.
[Don’t you have anything to ask me?]
Yi Jingchen blinked his cat eyes, moved closer to Mu Gan who was listening to music on the sofa, and asked him if he had leaked any secrets.
Mu Gan said casually, "No, they found it themselves."
"They already know?" Yi Jingchen looked around in confusion, "Then what about them?"
[Even if you don't scold me, you should at least say a few words, right?]
"Who knows." Mu Gan yawned lazily, "Maybe he feels guilty."
My teammate, who I had been with day and night for four months, didn't recognize me at all.
If they don’t feel guilty, who will?
.
In the era of electronic music, the steps for releasing music albums have been greatly simplified, and the release cycle has also been shortened.
Many music albums are released in stages, dividing the album into pre-release songs, main songs, concept songs, etc., and releasing one song at a time.
Phased release, although not like releasing a whole album, allows listeners to listen to all the songs at once.
But the advantage is that it can extend the exposure time and ensure that each song has sufficient exposure resources. It can ensure that each song will not become a "lost pearl" due to insufficient marketing and promotion.
In addition, releasing only one song at a time also makes it easier for fans to organize a chart-topping campaign, so as to avoid distracting their attention. This is very suitable for traffic-driven singers.
Aurora has just debuted and has no works to their name, so they need to rely on charts to let more people hear their voices.
The operating company naturally decided to adopt a phased release approach.
Less than a month after the new group debuted, the first album's pre-release song "Plan A" was released.
It is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and everything is filled with romance.
The singles released during this period are usually simple, bright and fresh, and most of them are love songs.
Idol groups of similar age or positioning to Aurora have released new songs in the past two months, which are basically simple and light-hearted love songs.
Aurora, however, did the exact opposite.
"Plan A" is a passionate, explosive and conviction-filled single, the theme of which is to be firm in the journey you have chosen and to prefer death to plan B.
The promotional copy has become a new meme in the circle: "Fight for our honor and never compromise with fate."
Countless eyes in the industry are always paying attention to Aurora's movements and judging their future development trends.
Upon learning that Aurora was releasing a provocative song as a preview for their new album in this romantic spring, countless 'experts' began to predict its downfall.
You know, most fans of talent shows are "dream girls" who imagine that their idols are their boyfriends or other close people.
After releasing a new song, popular singers rely heavily on fans to vote for it.
Therefore, they should try their best to please their fans and sing some love songs that their fans like.
What idol group wouldn't try their best to please their fans with their debut song, but instead only care about their own beliefs?
Show fans have always had the stereotype of being "heartless". After their debut, most of them left and became "March show fans" in the circle.
Aurora's willful behavior may force the remaining fans to run away.
Other artists and agencies in the industry think so, believing that Aurora will become completely obscure due to its unwise operations and will not be able to impact the existing traffic structure.
Who would have thought that just ten minutes after "Plan" was released, the number of comments on the song has exceeded one million.
Within one hour of being online, the song entered the top ten of the new song chart.
Five hours after it was released, it topped the daily playlist.
Fans of each group reached a consensus and collectively impacted the new song charts of this month.
Listeners who are attracted by the charts are naturally prejudiced when they see that the songs are idol songs.
I clicked on it and listened for a while, and I was overwhelmed by the passionate atmosphere and the determination that was completely different from those soft idols.
When I opened the comment section again, I saw that the audience was split roughly half by half: fans and passers-by.
You know, when many popular singers release songs, the comment section is almost always filled with fans.
Anyone who dares to leave a bad or even neutral comment will be cursed by extreme fans.
Moreover, many works of popular singers are clearly for fans only, and passers-by cannot appreciate them at all.
"Plan A" uses a very new form to break through the circle.
Moreover, the lyrics and music of the entire song, although simple, can perfectly awaken everyone's innate heroism.
Our little chuunibaku group! They don't follow the beaten path. Love it!
[This is so exciting! I woke up in the middle of the night and took a cold shower.]
Who understands?! When I was little, I often imagined myself in wartime, fighting bravely and refusing to surrender. I thought it was stupid and forgot about it as I grew up. Now I realize I hadn't forgotten it at all.
Who wouldn't want to? Our Chinese people are full of martial virtues.
[Are you referring to the child asking about the nuclear issue? Hahaha! ]
What did I miss? What's the point of the child asking about the core?
Back upstairs, a group of elementary school students were touring a warship. One child pointed at the launch pad and asked, "Can this be loaded with nuclear weapons?" This startled the tour guide. Our fear of insufficient firepower has spread to the next generation.
[Don't go too far. We still hope for world peace. If the world is not peaceful, at least our country is peaceful.]
[Yes! We don't cause trouble, and we're not afraid of being attacked.]
[Wow! Although some of the people above may have over-interpreted this song, when I listened to it again, I felt like I was seeing a microcosm of our culture. Because each generation of our ancestors did not choose plan B, and bravely and steadfastly defended this land, Chinese civilization has been able to continue to this day.]
【Sublimated, sublimated! 】
"Plan A" sounds simple at first, but after being interpreted by netizens, it seems so profound, attracting more and more people to come and play it, and its popularity is soaring at a visible speed.
The operating company followed the song's response in real time and found it incredible.
During the review meeting, Liu Sui walked into the Aurora dormitory and apologized to them immediately.
"I am short-sighted."
"This wave you are on the fifth floor."
In fact, during the song selection meeting, the company gave us more than 20 demo songs to try out first, all of which were sweet love songs that catered to the market.
The team members played those songs over and over again, but in the end they didn't choose any one.
They knew that the company wanted to please fans through love songs and maintain Aurora's popularity.
However, it is difficult to empathize with a group of younger brothers who have no experience in love by singing about love.
"I have another question," Yi Jingchen asked, "Have you ever heard of the term 'homogenization'?"
His teammates looked at him, half said they had heard of it, and half said they had not.
"'Homogeneity' refers to a trend, a phenomenon. For example, if a milk tea shop opens in a certain place and business is booming, and then many milk tea shops open around it, what will happen?"
"I know!" Du Xingwei raised his hand and replied, "Everyone's business has been bad!"
"Yes, Senior Mushroom is really amazing~" Yi Jingchen continued to explain, "The phenomenon of homogenization exists not only in the market, but also in the media. To give the simplest example, on our station, the same material is only allowed to be used once. If the news is reported a second time, it is no longer called 'news'."
"I understand what the captain means," You Lingyu said, "We've also been doing background checks recently. There are so many new songs and sweet little songs released recently."
"Yes, even if fans are willing to listen to us sing sweet songs, can we expand our audience base with this?"
Liu Sui fell into deep thought.
It is true that in the past, idol boy groups’ debut albums were exclusively for fans, and as long as they could retain their fans, it was considered a great victory.
The sweet song market is currently saturated, and only sweet songs of particularly high quality will be favored.
But Aurora's singing skills are a serious weakness.
Even the team's top vocalists have been criticized for their singing skills and are unable to win favor through their skills.
Liu Sui asked with a headache, "What ideas do you have?"
"Brother Liu, I have a bold idea!" Yi Jingchen said, "They're all called Aurora, the hot-blooded group. If that's the case, why can't our first album have its own style?"
"You mean..." Liu Sui rubbed his forehead fiercely, "Are you sure your fans will accept it?"
In the past, idol fans all wanted to see their idols act coquettishly, be cute, and make heart shapes with their hands.
The style they require is unlikely to be integrated into these actions, so how can they please their fans?
Yi Jingchen was extremely determined, and his teammates also supported his idea.
Liu Sui had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
Although the pre-release song was called "Plan A", Liu Sui actually prepared Plan B and even Plan C.
If the exciting songs don't work, he will immediately ask Aurora to sing sweet songs.
The results are obvious.
Liu Sui's backup plan was in vain, as he was taught a lesson by these kids.
He came to the dormitory and originally planned to praise his nine younger brothers, but he found them lying all over the place.
"You...what's wrong?"
"It's too difficult to choreograph the song. My child is already exhausted from dancing."
"I feel like winking and making a heart shape with the hands are more relaxing now."
Liu Sui: “???”
Okay.
People's joys and sorrows are different.
.
Although the popularity of "Plan A" continued to rise, Aurora did not immediately arrange its debut.
Originally, the company planned to have them promote their songs on a variety show. However, considering the popularity of "Plan A", the promotion on a variety show would not be important enough or grand enough, so they cancelled the promotion segment and prepared to look for a suitable venue.
Secondly, because——
The Aurora team members brought this upon themselves.
The exciting song needs to be accompanied by a high-difficulty dance. There are several people in the group who have weak basic skills and need to practice dozens or hundreds of times.
The torture that Yi Jingchen suffered was far more than just rehearsal.
After working tirelessly, the graduation thesis defense also began.
Every day, he dragged his tired body back to the dormitory and had to prepare the PPT needed for the defense.
Fortunately, the material for the graduation thesis came entirely from Yi Jingchen himself, making it particularly convenient to obtain.
Since there were not enough pages for the PPT, Yi Jingchen took out his mobile phone and took two selfies to fill up one page.
Yi Jingchen, who used selfies and templates to prepare PPT, was a little worried that he would fail the defense.
Unexpectedly, the defense process went quite smoothly.
The several instructors in charge of the defense were all senior professors from the Department of Journalism. They had taught Yi Jingchen before and did not make things too difficult for him.
Compared to the defense itself, Yi Jingchen used himself as a case to deeply analyze the role of the news media, and seriously recounted his journey from an amateur to a traffic star, which really made it difficult for everyone not to laugh.
Especially at the end of his PPT, when he showed two selfies, even the professionally trained professor burst out laughing.
"Indeed. Through your analysis, we now fully understand how this... artist surnamed Yi gained popularity through online communication, and we understand the role played by the media in this process."
Yi Jingchen looked at the professor, and through his serious description, he seemed to hear him saying "hahahaha" in his heart.
It was not until this moment that he began to doubt whether his graduation advisor had betrayed him.
[Is this called a graduation defense?]
[It's clearly a public execution!]
"Entertainment media is an emerging field in our college, and writing an excellent paper is indeed not easy. The fact that you have such comprehensive material is even more difficult."
Yi Jingchen confirmed.
The professor was really trying to hold back his laughter.
Fortunately, although the professor laughed, he still gave Yi Jingchen a high score for his defense and successfully passed him.
Passing the defense means that all he has to do now is wait for graduation.
"Thank you, mentors~" Yi Jingchen smiled instantly, thanked the professors, and prepared to share the good news with his classmates.
He packed up his notebook and USB drive, and before he even left the classroom, he was stopped by the professor.
"Wait, there's one more thing I want to ask you."
Yi Jingchen turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Half an hour later, he arrived at the Affiliated Middle School of University A under the guidance of his teacher.
The Affiliated Middle School of University A is a key middle school famous in the city and even in the country, with a particularly high admission rate.
Among them, there are two dazzling classes, the Rocket Class and the International Class.
There are 50 students in each rocket class, and almost all of them can be admitted to famous universities including University A.
Students in the international class have traveled all over the world to realize their great ambitions.
There were only about thirty days left before the college entrance examination. When the school heard that Yi Jingchen would be defending his thesis today, they asked a professor they were familiar with to bring a message to him, inviting him to the school to give a pre-exam mobilization to the graduating students.
The reason why Yi Jingchen was invited was not only because he was a student in the Rocket Class of A University Affiliated Middle School, but also because he was one of the few true academic geniuses who could skip grades by staying in the Rocket Class.
You know, more than half of the students in the Rocket Class have the ability to be admitted to University A.
The learning atmosphere is intense rather than rich. Everyone is afraid of being outdone and disappointing their teachers and parents.
Yi Jingchen is different. He has no parental supervision and does not feel any pressure during the entire exam-oriented education period.
According to the observations of the head teacher and substitute teacher, he simply likes to study and wants to learn from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, the school invited Yi Jingchen to give a college entrance examination motivation speech even though they knew that he was an idol and would be considered by ordinary schools as "affecting children's studies."
"Do you really want me to mobilize the class? Can I?" Yi Jingchen followed the teacher, mumbling all the way, "I've never even been a class leader, let alone speaking on the podium."
The teacher in charge of reception didn't know Yi Jingchen and asked curiously, "Aren't your grades pretty good? Why haven't you been a class leader?"
Yi Jingchen said with some distress, "I often ask for leave from morning reading and evening self-study to do my own things. The teacher thinks I can't serve as a role model."
"Well, your teacher is right."
Currently, schools no longer consider students based solely on "grades".
No matter how good Yi Jingchen's grades are, he often comes to school late and leaves early without reason, so he naturally cannot be set as a role model.
"So, can I really be the mobilization officer?"
"The school invited you specifically because they recognize your abilities," the teacher explained with a smile. "Actually, at this stage, the main purpose of mobilizing for the college entrance exam isn't just to improve their grades, but also to help them manage their emotions."
Often, the better a child's grades are, the more likely they are to reach a dead end.
There are many outstanding students in the school who have excellent grades, but they are full of doubts about themselves because they have reached a bottleneck period.
If they make mistakes in the college entrance examination, they may easily do extreme things because they cannot accept it.
"I understand~" Yi Jingchen understood the task he needed to complete and puffed out his chest proudly, "I will work hard!"
The school attached great importance to this honorary graduate. It gathered the senior class on the playground and prepared an official camera for Yi Jingchen.
Several people were very excited when they heard Yi Jingchen.
Most of the students were forbidden from using entertainment devices during their senior year, so they had no reaction and thought he was just an ordinary senior.
They found Yi Jingchen standing in the center of the rostrum with an umbrella next to him. Everyone was wondering why this senior was making such a big fuss.
A University is full of talented people, and even more outstanding alumni have been here, but none of them held an umbrella.
——They don’t know that school is not just for appearances.
But we take into consideration that the stupid silver tabby relies on his face to make a living, and we can't tan him into a Siamese cat.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yi Jingchen, a classmate who graduated four years earlier than you."
"I received the notice at the last minute and didn't prepare a speech, so I'll just say whatever comes to my mind." Yi Jingchen did not act condescendingly. His tone was relaxed and casual, and he quickly got close to everyone.
"I really enjoy studying. I don't study to change my fate or to cope with exam-oriented education."
"Because learning itself can exercise my thinking ability, let me have an independent thinking system, and can also delay Alzheimer's disease."
"Of course, if someone among you is powerful enough, you can even eliminate Alzheimer's disease."
"Hahaha!"
The students below understood Yi Jingchen's joke and laughed so hard that they fell over.
"This senior is quite interesting. I like listening to him talk."
"Yes, unlike others who immediately say we must study and that studying is the only way out."
"I think learning is a very broad concept. It's not just about sitting in a classroom and picking up a book. Learning also includes turning over, sitting, standing, and mastering a language."
"I participated in a variety show before, where I learned singing, dancing, and becoming an idol. It was a great learning process."
