The trend of posting college acceptance letters on social media
The highest rating for special admissions is A, and the lowest is F. It's said that above A, there are extremely rare S-level special admissions, perhaps only one in several decades. It's also said that in previous years, even members of the four great families would give S-level special admissions a wide berth.
Lin Xue once came across a piece of gossip. In previous years, there was an S-level special admission student who didn't get along with the young master of one of the four great families.
However, at the young master's forced marriage, the S-class special recruit suddenly appeared out of nowhere and forcibly kidnapped him.
Like a notorious bandit, swaggering out the door.
He even boasted, "I've stolen your young master. Come and catch me if you dare."
The young master's mother announced that she would kill that "audacious bastard," and even predicted the death of the S-level special recruit in a live broadcast, saying that she had hired the best mercenaries to kill the S-level special recruit, and that he was doomed.
Just as everyone was discussing the audacious death of that S-level special recruit, that lowly commoner, she received a phone call.
"Mother-in-law, I am the best mercenary."
Then, a tall man appeared behind her, and the scene was abruptly cut off.
On the day the admission notice arrives, the specially admitted students can go to the bank to withdraw their first sum of money: the enrollment fee. The school established this fund to help impoverished students who cannot afford the transportation and accommodation fees to go to school.
However, in reality, the amount of money distributed far exceeded the scope of transportation and accommodation expenses.
Many of St. Leeds’ special admissions students use this money to embellish themselves before enrollment.
Some people undergo a full range of cosmetic surgery to completely transform themselves and present a better image when they enter St. Les ...
Some people buy luxury goods they never dared to dream of before, transforming themselves from shabby country bumpkins into glamorous socialites and gentlemen, secretly showing off in front of their relatives and friends.
Many students also use this money to fulfill their long-held dreams, such as traveling abroad, buying desired electronic products, games, or toys, or replacing their parents' phones that are already broken and unusable.
The recruitment leaflet reads, "Our world is not peaceful, and the country needs you. Join the reserves and become a reserve force for the future army."
Lin Xue looked at the benefits: all expenses in the military were covered. In addition, there were monthly allowances based on performance; priority access to pensions after discharge, extra subsidies to medical insurance accounts, and many other benefits. It seemed very tempting. However, even so, very few people were willing to enlist, because of the extremely severe bullying within the military in Shilan.
After looking through all the items in the package, Lin Xue opened Fresh on her phone, the world's most popular social media platform.
Today is the day St. Mary's University distributes its acceptance letters, and Fresh has been buzzing with excitement. The trending topics are flooded with videos of St. Mary's freshmen showing off their acceptance letters.
Most of the freshmen who post their college acceptance letters have a tone that clearly wants to show off, but tries hard to suppress their sense of superiority, which is the essence of Versailles.
In the video, the treasure chests are placed in the most prominent central position. The acceptance letters are spread out and weighed down by the treasure chests.
Every snapshot exudes a classic royal style, with an indescribable sense of luxury and extravagance.
The comments section is buzzing with discussion:
[Saint-Lia's treasure chests are so beautiful! And how much do they cost? I'm so envious!]
Why don't you just work hard to get in?
"Don't joke with me! St. Lily is for either super-rich kids who can donate buildings and money to the school, or true nobles with titles. For ordinary people like me, the only way to get in is through special admissions."
St. Les ...
Every blogger who posted their college acceptance letter had enabled the "Do not recommend me to your contacts" and "Do not recommend me to people in the same city" options. The name on each letter was heavily blurred.
In previous years, there have been instances of people killing others out of jealousy that their acquaintances were admitted to St. Leicester.
There was also a case where a specially admitted student posted their admission notice without blurring their name. Jealous netizens opened the box, revealed their address, and then hired a group of thugs to clean it up and throw it into a garbage dump in the suburbs, causing them to miss their registration time at St. Leeds.
The specially admitted student hadn't even had time to change out of his stinking clothes before he dragged his tattered body to St. Leicester. Other students covered their noses and mocked him, saying, "Is this the squalor smell of a specially admitted student?" But he didn't stop and hurried to the registration point to report his plight to the teacher in charge of registration, begging the school to make an exception for him.
Saint-Lia responded coldly, revoking the student's admission on the grounds that "those who do not know how to keep a low profile when they are not strong are not qualified to enroll in their school."
From then on, everyone understood St. Leah's motto: the survival of the fittest; and they also understood the survival rules for being a special student of St. Leah:
Prey must carefully conceal its tracks to avoid being detected by its predator. Unless, of course, you are the predator disguised as the prey.
It is worth noting that those notices only had signatures, without any graffiti.
Lin Xue's gaze was fixed on the doodles on her admission letter.
He didn't think he was anything special that he could be favored by the chairman of the board, who was actually the highest authority in the school, before he even entered the school.
That would only mean malicious spying.
But it doesn't matter.
He wasn't worried about being seen. If the other person wanted to see, then let them see.
Those bloggers, whose homepages originally contained only some incredibly boring, blurry daily videos and a couple hundred followers, suddenly saw their follower count skyrocket after they sent out their college acceptance letters.
Lin Xue scrolled through other people's videos showing off their college acceptance letters, becoming a ruthless "like" machine.
After the craze for showing off admission notices subsided, another wave of posts from new students sharing their tips and experiences came along.
[After landing in St. Leeds, I did these 4 things right]
[If you want to get into St. Leicester, you can start preparing during the summer after your first year of junior high school. Here's a guide from a struggling student to a top student.]
They were all highly sensational headlines. Lin Xue clicked on them out of curiosity, only to find they were full of academic jargon, no different from what the big shots said about "easy to prove, easy to obtain, and not difficult to discover."
To sum it up: If you had my brains, you could do it too.
Countless students below are enthusiastically praising it.
Actually, it wasn't about learning how to go to St. Leah; it was just about sharing in the joy of learning from the gods.
Lin Xue had a lot to say, but in the end she left.
What else can I say? Just shut up and say it's amazing ^_^.
Many wealthy individuals have set their sights on these newly enrolled specially admitted students, sending ambiguous invitations via private messages. The invitations are mostly arranged at upscale restaurants; the rhetoric used is that they want to get to know these future important figures in advance.
A St. Riat University admissions officer posted on Weibo, "Don't send me any more private messages." While the wording was seemingly considerate of wealthy individuals, the underlying message was that he wouldn't become their mistress.
The other specially admitted students below all gave their thumbs up.
St. Les Ria offers very favorable admission conditions to its special admission students. All special admission students at St. Les Ria, as long as they complete their studies normally and do not violate school rules and regulations, receive ample financial support from the school, which is more than enough to complete their three years of high school studies, without them having to spend a single penny.
If you achieve excellent grades, you can also receive generous scholarships, making a fortune to save for your undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral education.
Therefore, they are not easily swayed by the lure of money. This is an ivory tower that Saint-Lia built for his naive and innocent students with a large sum of money.
These specially admitted students, who have just received their admission notices, are unaware of the horrors of power and money. They retain a sense of student naiveté and even harbor a secret sense of superiority, thinking, "After I graduate, what are you people who send me private messages?"
Amidst the harmonious atmosphere of the special admissions team-building activity, a discouraging sarcastic comment emerged:
[What's with the high-and-mighty attitude? St. Leicester's special admissions students are just playthings for the powerful and wealthy, doesn't anyone know that? Try refusing someone after they're admitted!]
This post has hundreds of comments, with the top comment coming from a freshman who just posted his college acceptance letter.
He said he did not believe that the coercive sexual relationships of the old society still existed in the modern, democratic, and progressive Seraphim Federation.
The rumor that all specially admitted students at St. Louis University become playthings of the powerful and wealthy is a sensationalist smear campaign by the news outlets. While it's true that some specially admitted students do become playthings of the powerful, that's a personal choice made by those students.
After the establishment of the Shilan Federation, society entered a new era. Unless specially admitted students do so voluntarily, no powerful or wealthy person can force them to be their playthings.
If powerful figures are indeed involved in sex scandals, they will be exposed by the news and punished by law.
This person's objective yet politically correct remarks quickly won everyone's hearts and reassured many freshmen who were anxious because of his comment. The specially admitted students all cheered for him.
Having finally gained admission to St. Mary's, a prestigious school that everyone aspires to attend, and about to embark on a perfect life with a prestigious academic background, no one wants to believe that the school they worked so hard to get into is a den of iniquity where the poor struggle and the powerful run rampant.
In no time, his number of fans was growing rapidly, jumping up significantly with each update.
Lin Xue opened this person's homepage and saw the admission notice he posted.
In the video, the man says, "Brother, I've entered St. Leicester. I will definitely find out the truth about your death. Rest in peace."
This person should be the main character of this novel, Shengxi.
The protagonist Shengxi's older brother committed suicide mysteriously after entering a prestigious academy.
The autopsy report stated it was suicide, but the remains received by the Sheng family were cremated and turned into ashes.
After investigation, Shengxi obtained her brother's official forensic report: 21 fractures throughout his body. His ribs and leg bones were broken by someone stepping on them; his skull, the hardest bone in the human body, was repeatedly smashed to pieces by a hard object. His eye sockets were empty. His chest was cut open, and many internal organs were missing. There was a ring of blood around his neck, suggesting that he had been strangled repeatedly with a long, blood-soaked object, but the true cause of death was likely neurogenic shock caused by extreme and prolonged pain. His arms were covered with more than a dozen needle marks. Drug tests showed that he had been injected with a large amount of adrenaline before his death to keep him conscious, preventing him from fainting from the pain and from dying easily.
