147. Chapter 147 In This World Without English



But the efficiency of the college made him truly feel what a bloated and complicated bureaucratic system is.

The admission of special students would be delayed by a week due to the existence of general education courses, which was reasonable. However, although regular students did not need to wait a week, it still took Levi three days due to various procedures before he finally completed all the formalities.

This time, he also got an independent apartment, which was standard for regular students. At the same time, because of his demonstrated mastery of the laws of gravity, he was assigned to the Department of Physics and could start directly from the second-year courses.

After this enrollment, Levi could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the college had changed recently.

In order to save money, the school board directly ordered the discipline department, and the discipline director was directly responsible for conducting a strict investigation into the prevalent problem of cheating in the natural theory exam among regular students. This is a job that requires a lot of manpower.

All the discipline committee members were transferred away, causing the atmosphere among the regular students to become even more corrupt.

These changes are certainly not unnoticed by the college directors who are organizing the special admissions reform.

They didn't care about the students' private "little entertainment", but Xin Guohong convened another emergency school board meeting and said that through the latest review of the Key Management Committee, after a strict investigation of cheating, it was found that the number of regular students who could pass the natural theory exam on their own had even become scarce!

This obviously made the college's directors feel uneasy.

If the number of scientists produced by the academy is decreasing, it means that human beings are becoming less in control of nature, and this kind of thing will really cause trouble! Even if they didn't care about the atmosphere before, they must crack down on it at this time to get students to shift their minds from idleness to study.

The most basic responsibilities of the academy cannot be changed. The original intention of establishing this city was to maintain the number of scientists produced. Everything else is secondary.

But Levi obviously didn't know this. He could only feel that the college had issued some notices about strictly checking discipline, but the students below were very perfunctory about it.

How can something that has become a habit for a long time be changed overnight?

Even the discipline committee members, whose energy was already mostly occupied with the strict investigation of cheating in exams, turned a blind eye to this government order. They could not handle it and did not have the energy to do so.

This made Levi keenly aware that this was a very good opportunity.

But he was not in a hurry. Joining the student union and becoming a committee member was not an easy task.

After officially enrolling, Levi did not immediately start socializing and opening up his relationships among regular students.

Because he knew that if he wanted to join the student union, it was useless to rely on these people.

Although the Student Union is nominally student-run, if you want to join and become a member, you need to be nominated by a faculty member.

The first step that Levi wanted to start his plan was not to build good relationships with those formal students who were living a life of drunkenness and dreams, but to find a teaching position that could nominate him.

In the second week after entering school, Levi attracted a lot of attention with his outstanding appearance and the fact that he was already a scientist before entering school. Then, countless random clubs sent him invitations.

However, these invitations ultimately fell on deaf ears because Levi had already determined his goals.

College Librarian, Zhao Mingda.

He is not a teacher, but because of the importance of the library and his own strength, he also has a professor-level teaching position and his qualifications are definitely sufficient.

And the biggest reason why Levi chose him was not because of anything else.

Apart from the fact that this somewhat arrogant old man left some impression on him when he was a special student, the most important reason was that when Levi came to the library recently, he found that he was studying English.

That's right, it's English! Li Wei is very familiar with those letters. He spoke English quite well when he was in college, at least he passed the Level 6 exam. Although he hasn't used it for a long time after working, he has not forgotten it.

In this human society, all languages, whether in the East or West region, are written in Chinese.

English and other languages ​​have long been the product of ancient history. Not to mention knowing them, even the materials related to English must be documents that have a history of thousands of years! Li Wei accidentally saw this old man named Zhao Mingda in the library. After frowning and studying the paper full of English characters, he was stunned for a while, and then he realized that this was actually English!

“Action is the proper fruit of knowledge.”

Hearing a completely incomprehensible language suddenly read out from behind him, Zhao Mingda frowned, turned around and looked into Levi's eyes.

"What did you say?"

Li Wei smiled and pointed at the old document that Zhao Mingda placed on the table.

"You are looking at the words, sir, 'Action is the proper fruit of knowledge.' It is a maxim that translates to 'Action is the proper fruit of knowledge.'"

His words obviously stunned Zhao Mingda. He had figured out the general meaning of this sentence by looking it up in the dictionary, but he still had no idea how to read or pronounce it. Zhao Mingda was not sure whether the pronunciation of the language spoken by Levi was correct, but the meaning was obviously more accurate than what he translated using the dictionary!

As Zhao Mingda spoke, he carefully covered the contents of the document with his arm.

The reason why he dared to show these things in broad daylight was to make sure that no one could recognize the words on them.

But I didn't expect that this slap in the face would come so quickly! But Zhao Mingda was not angry about it. Instead, when he asked Li Wei, there was a hint of surprise in his tone.

There were so many old documents that Zhao Mingda couldn't tell which ones were useful and which ones were not. He had to rely on translating them bit by bit through a dictionary. He didn't know when he would be able to finish translating all the contents.

But Zhao Mingda remained cautious.

He knew very well what he was doing. If outsiders knew that he was looking for the fragments of rules, he would be in big trouble no matter who he was.

Therefore, his eyes never left Levi's eyes.

Levi didn't avoid his eyes and spoke bluntly.

"What you are reading is English, teacher. It is one of the languages ​​used by humans when they were still on land. I can understand it because I have some books about English at home. I have been interested in these since I was a child."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Zhao Mingda continued to ask.

"You're the freshman? How come I've never seen you before?"

"My name is Vic Forrest, and I'm from Suiye, the first city in the Western Region past Central. Nice to meet you, Sensei."

Li Wei showed his signature sunny smile and extended his hand to Zhao Mingda.

Zhao Mingda did not shake hands with Li Wei. He still had that cold and hard expression that said "no strangers allowed".

"You can recognize these characters. It seems that your family background is not simple."

"The Forrest family has a long history in Suiye, but it started to decline in my generation. Now it only has a baronial title left. If I hadn't been adopted, even this title would have been lost."

There was some emotion in Levi's voice, but he soon smiled again.

"But knowledge is the most valuable asset, right? As long as this thing is passed down, the so-called fame and fortune will come to you sooner or later."

Such words made Zhao Mingda silent for a moment. Then he snorted coldly, turned around and stopped looking at Li Wei.

"Be careful in the library next time. Don't read what others are reading without permission."

He didn't seem to be interested in Levi and his attitude was very cold. He didn't seem to want to communicate more or ask him to translate.

But Levi was not in a hurry.

If Zhao Mingda really came to invite him for help now, then Levi would have to doubt his intelligence, or he might have other intentions.

The two of them are still strangers to each other, so there has to be a process of investigation and familiarity.

Li Wei then left the library without disturbing Zhao Mingda any further. He did not go to the library in the following days, but he knew clearly that his information had been retrieved if nothing unexpected happened.

Sure enough, on the third day after they met in the library, Levi received the notification.

He was told that the college library had a task for him to do.

At this moment, Levi's mouth curled up into a smile that truly came from the heart.

The fish is hooked.

The issue of identity in the previous chapter has been patched up again.

I may have something to do tonight. If I can make it back, I'll update the next chapter. If I can't make it back, I'll start tomorrow.
