College, North Station.
In the second week that Levi officially enrolled as Vic.
A train coming from the heart of the Western Region slowly stopped in front of the station.
A man wearing a black top hat and a long dark brown trench coat arrived at the academy, carrying a suitcase and with a parrot standing on his shoulder.
As soon as he got off the train, he couldn't help but take a deep breath of air.
"It's still a familiar taste. I really miss it. We used to be siblings here for a while, Xiaohong."
The parrot named Xiaohong ignored his words, spread its wings, flew into the sky, and glided over the academy.
"She's shy."
The man who came to the college from the distant Violet walked out of the station with his black suitcase indifferently.
The vice president of the water polo club who had once extended a cordial invitation to Levi was on duty today. She had apparently found a new target.
"Teacher Chi Qing?"
She looked at the information on the man's ID, her eyes shining.
Of course she coveted Levi's extremely handsome face, but there were so many evil wolves in the academy, and she might not even get a share of such high-quality stuff. The new faculty member in front of her, who had the flavor of a mature man, was also a delicious cake of extremely high quality.
Moreover, teaching positions are generally easier to hook up with.
The man named Chi Qing took off his hat.
"It may be a little too early to call you teacher. Miss, I haven't gone to the Faculty Management Committee to complete the employment procedures yet."
The vice president of the water polo club was chuckling.
She quickly handled all the formalities and handed the things to Chi Qing, along with a note with her contact information.
"Teacher, if you need a teaching assistant in the future, you can always find me."
Chi Qing looked at this bold student with amusement.
“I haven’t decided which subject I’m going to teach yet.”
"Maybe I can handle all the subjects?"
"Is there a student as talented as you in this academy? I really need to discuss this with you in private later."
He smiled, put his hat back on his head, stopped communicating with the girl, and walked into the college.
In the sky, the gliding parrot finally landed lightly on Chi Qing's shoulder again.
"Why so slow?"
The parrot asked, tilting its head.
"The academy has really changed a lot." He just sighed with a strange smile on his face, "I can already foresee that we will have a lot of fun on this trip."
In the librarian's office, Levi walked in after knocking on the door.
Zhao Mingda was sitting at the long table in the middle. He was wearing glasses and in front of him were piles of old English documents.
"Teacher, are you looking for me?"
Hearing the sound coming from the door, Zhao Mingda raised his head and looked at Li Wei.
He used his authority to retrieve all the information the college had about the Western District student with an oriental face.
He even sought Cheng Che's help, and using Tian'en Company's widely distributed branch intelligence network, he obtained relevant information about the Forrest family from Suiye, and collected the student's life records and reputation in that city.
Surprisingly, this young man, who looks well-mannered and has inherited the title of baron at such a young age, should be a dandy boy according to the stereotype.
As it turned out, judging from the reputation in Suiye, his reputation was actually quite good, otherwise he would not have been adopted by the Forrest family and directly became the heir to the title.
"I have a task for you. If you are willing to help me, I can give you some conveniences in the academy, such as introducing you to a good tutor or giving you some extra credits."
In fact, with Zhao Mingda's identity, he could provide more conveniences to Li Wei, but those conveniences were obviously not in line with the rules. Other faculty members might have been accustomed to this, but he disdained to do such a thing.
In this regard, Li Wei was not in a hurry to express what he needed. The nomination of student union members was not a big deal and was completely in line with normal procedures. As long as he spoke now, Zhao Mingda would definitely not refuse.
But Li Wei was well aware that one must be patient when fishing. If he was too impatient to put forward his request, it might make the fish alert. The best way was to let Zhao Mingda bring up the matter.
"Convenience is nothing, teacher, do you want me to help you translate these documents?"
Since Li Wei has been called here, Zhao Mingda certainly has no intention of hiding it any longer.
"You are probably the only one in this academy who understands this ancient language. I am currently studying the information. If you can translate it, my progress will undoubtedly be much faster."
Of course, he had already made some preparations before calling Levi.
The documents now on the table were all materials that he had roughly translated through a dictionary and had little to do with the rules.
He brought it out now just to ask Levi to help him fill in the gaps and verify whether the results he got from the dictionary matched.
After hearing this, Li Wei didn't say anything else. He went straight to the long table covered with documents, took the pen and notes handed to him by Zhao Mingda, and began to translate them one by one.
These documents obviously contain some special professional terms, and Levi cannot guarantee that he can understand all of them, but he can still understand the general content. However, the more he reads, the more surprised he is.
These English documents should have been recorded when humans were still on the ground, when the natural disaster had just occurred and the whole world was facing a tragedy.
The natural rules that were originally mastered by our ancestors began to become disordered.
The atmosphere is no longer filled with oxygen for human survival everywhere. The weather has become extreme. Strong winds, heavy rains, thunderstorms, heavy snow, hail and all kinds of weather appear randomly. There are no four seasons, the temperature is unpredictable, and all living things, including humans, animals, plants, and bacteria have begun to mutate horribly.
It was a scene even more terrifying than the end of the world. All rules had been lost, humanity was rapidly dying out, and all things were being destroyed in chaos and disorder.
The state ceased to exist, the cities became desolate, and nature could no longer be called nature.
Even if there is a zombie outbreak, it will take some time for the infection to occur, right? But this sudden change from nature does not have any buffer at all. How did humans move underground and build the deformed society and cities we have today without any preparation?
There was no answer in the text that Livy was translating, because it was obviously incomplete, and some key parts must have been hidden by Zhao Mingda.
But Levi didn't really care about these things. These documents were at most background information within the game, for some idle players to dig into for fun.
Levi is not an idle player. He came to help Zhao Mingda with a clear purpose.
In the following days, Li Wei came to the library almost every day to help Zhao Mingda translate those English documents, and sometimes he would stay there until very late.
In order to prevent him from being disturbed, Zhao Mingda went to see the head of the Physics Department and approved a one-week leave for Li Wei so that he could concentrate on working for him.
Finally, four days later, all the documents that Zhao Mingda had sorted out by himself had been basically translated.
Li Wei corrected many of his mistakes, and the two of them also tried to decipher many professional terms with the help of dictionaries.
The more Zhao Mingda looked at this student, the more he liked him.
It has to be said that the first impression left by appearance will seriously affect people's subsequent attitude towards this person.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
In order to appear bold enough in the formal class this time, Levi did not make too many modifications to his face. He simply made minor adjustments to some of his facial features, which made him slightly different from the wanted poster with Patent No. 626 that had been circulated.
A face that combines 3.67 million data points is naturally amazing.
Looking at the time on the wall, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and the entire college had become quiet from its original hustle and bustle.
Zhao Mingda gestured to Li Wei to pour him a cup of tea. He leaned back in his chair, his eyes deep, and no one knew what he was thinking about. He asked as if he was chatting about family matters.
"You had already obtained the key and became a scientist before coming to the academy, which is enough to prove your talent, Vic. After coming to the academy, what do you think of this place?"
Li Wei was also holding a teacup. His mind moved slightly. He had already realized what Zhao Mingda wanted to do, and he should take this opportunity to express his demands.
"I came here to learn more knowledge, teacher." He smiled. "The college is very good, the library here is very big, the experimental settings are very complete, and the teachers are very friendly, but..."
"But what?"
"But the learning atmosphere in the college seems different from what I imagined." Levi shook his head.
"I thought they would cherish such a learning environment. What's more, some of them did something too outrageous, which clearly violated school rules. The day before yesterday, I saw a classmate from the same department secretly taking away the college's experimental materials. When I spoke up to stop him, he said, "Who am I? The discipline committee member didn't say anything, so what right do I have to control him?"
Hearing Li Wei's words, Zhao Mingda snorted coldly.
"A bunch of uneducated fools. They enjoy the best resources and the most favorable environment, but they live a life of drunkenness and debauchery all day long. How do they think they got what they enjoy now? Was it given by God?"
At this point, he turned around and looked at Levi again.
"What do you think about the big incident that broke out in the academy a month ago?"
Li Wei looked directly into Zhao Mingda's eyes honestly.
"To be honest, teacher, maybe what I said is a bit rebellious, but I think the academy should not use human lives as the raw material of the key. Sacrificing some people in the name of everyone, especially using these sacrificed people to enjoy a better life and gain more benefits, this is not a right principle."
He noticed it from their interactions over the past few days and from Zhao Mingda's attitude towards him when they were special recruits.
This old man was born into a wealthy family and obviously had petty bourgeois sentiments, but he was willing to humble himself and sympathize with people at the bottom of society.
He is very dissatisfied with the current state of society and wants to change it, but he also wants to try to complete the transformation from the upper class itself.
Regardless of whether his idea is right or wrong, at least compared with those other scum who cannot even be called human beings, this is already an old man with a bottom line.
Therefore, Levi understood his thoughts and preferences, and deliberately went in this direction when answering.
Then, he suddenly smiled.
"Teacher, you may not like to hear these words. After all, many faculty members and students died in that incident, but I don't want to lie."
After Levi said these words, Zhao Mingda fell silent and looked into Levi's eyes.
If it were other students, they would definitely think that he was angry about his words and would subconsciously avoid looking him in the face.
But Levi didn't. He still looked directly into Zhao Mingda's eyes with clear eyes.
"The atmosphere in the college is extremely bad. Students are not focused on their studies, but are doing all kinds of messy things all day long. The school board has also noticed this recently, and finally took some personnel action, forcing the discipline department to step up rectification, but there are not enough discipline committee members."
"If you are not happy with something and want to intervene, I can nominate you to the student union and recommend you to be the discipline committee member. However, if you want to get something done in this position, you must not be afraid of offending people."
Li Wei was waiting for this sentence from him! "If you think I can handle the position, I will do my best."
Zhao Mingda was obviously satisfied with his attitude. He nodded and spoke casually.
"Take some rest these two days. I will report your name tomorrow. Someone from the Student Union will come to you and ask you to report to the Discipline Department. I hope that after you become a member of the Discipline Committee, you can still remember what you said today and not be assimilated by those people. I still have some documents that I haven't sorted out yet. When I'm done, I'll ask you to come over to help."
He wanted to see whether Levi was really dissatisfied with some of the phenomena in the academy as he said.
If you want to see a person clearly, don't look at what he says, but look at what he does.
When Zhao Mingda helped Li Wei nominate the discipline committee member, he had this in mind. He wanted to see whether this young man was really as he said, a vested interest who would also be dissatisfied with the existing injustice.
If it was true, he could consider giving Levi more trust.
After leaving Zhao Mingda, Li Wei returned to the student dormitory in a very happy mood.
The first step of the plan went quite smoothly. Not only did he successfully obtain the position of Discipline Committee Member, he also established a good relationship with Zhao Mingda, the librarian who held a very high position in the college.
This is very helpful for Levi's subsequent preparations! On his way back, Levi passed by a convenience store that was still open, and was about to go in to buy himself something to eat and fill his stomach.
A young girl in a church nun's uniform, holding a cigarette in one hand and a beer can in the other, bumped into him drunkenly.
I came back too late yesterday and didn't write it down. I feel guilty about it. I will update early today! There are two more chapters to come, which will be posted in the afternoon and evening.
