"It's starting."

After studying English for a whole night, Ren Suo found that the time was up, so he opened the GILIGILI video website and saw the push of "School Starts" in the recommendations on the homepage.

On Monday, September 3, the university department of Xuan Country’s Top Ten Practitioners Academy officially opened.

If the opening of the junior high school and high school departments were just minor events, then the opening of the university department this time showed the official attitude - the opening ceremony was broadcast live in its entirety.

Unlike other universities where each grade has several thousand students, the number of freshmen in each cultivation academy now is between several hundred and one thousand. A large playground is more than enough. If the number of students is smaller, even the auditorium can accommodate all of them.

The opening ceremony started at 10 o'clock in the morning. There was just a little sunshine, but it was not hot yet. All colleges chose to hold the opening ceremony at this time to facilitate live broadcast.

Among them, there is no live broadcast channel of Tianjing School. The main reason is that the freshmen of Tianjing School have already started to enroll in May, and the opening ceremony has already been held, so there is naturally no need to do it again in September.

Secondly, although the ten cultivator academies are moving forward at the same pace, ordinary people can tell with their brains that the opening ceremony of Tianjing Academy should beat the other ten. Having watched Tianjing Academy, there is naturally no need to watch the opening ceremonies of the other academies.

Moreover, the opening ceremonies of the nine academies will also be broadcast on major television stations in various provinces and cities, mainly to allow nearby residents to get a rough idea of ​​the teaching level of the local cultivator academies. Therefore, the main stage for showing off this time is the nine academies, not Tianjing College - whether Tianjing College is awesome or not, the Xuan people can tell with just a thought, there is no need for proof.

On the video portal, the live broadcast room is divided into nine parts, and netizens can freely choose to watch the opening ceremony of any college. In fact, the lines of each opening ceremony are fixed, the only difference is the background of the opening ceremony.

Except for the main school in Tianjin, the principals of the other nine cultivation academies are all teachers with many years of teaching experience. Some of them have even served as university presidents. Naturally, they will give speeches at the opening ceremony.

There is nothing much to say about the opening ceremony, which is just a few nice words and an introduction to the teaching staff. Even if the people speaking are great scholars who can be found in the encyclopedia, it still sounds boring.

Ren Suo thought that there were only a few people in the live broadcast room, but in fact, even the Tianlian Academy live broadcast room he was watching had at least tens of thousands of people watching online - this data only included the number of viewers on this website and in this live broadcast room!

You should know that several large video portals and even TV stations are broadcasting the opening ceremonies of the nine academies live. There are so many diversions, and it is still working hours, but there are still so many people watching, which shows how much everyone values ​​the content of the Practitioner Academy.

Of course, more importantly, the content of the opening ceremony can really keep people coming back!

The opening ceremony of Tianlian College was held on the playground. An old man was introducing the educational purpose of Tianlian College on the stage. Although the students below the stage were bathed in the early morning sun, they did not feel any heat at all.

Because, the old man was standing on a high platform made entirely of ice, with the school motto of 'cultivating virtue, being knowledgeable, seeking truth and innovation' engraved on the platform. Transparent ice crystal chains burst out from the platform, dividing the students' queues into neat rows!

The white mist from the vaporized ice crystals made all the students feel like they were walking on clouds. Not a single drop of water from the melted ice crystals was lost, and the playground was clean and not slippery. However, all the students felt like they were standing in an air-conditioned room at 22°!

Moreover, there are several giant dark blue ice crystal trees rising from the ground in front, behind, and on both sides of the student queue. In front of each class, there is a statue of an ice crystal knight standing with a sword, turning the hot Lianjiang River in September into an extremely icy place with cold winds blowing!

"Is this the start of the Scourge school with the Lich King as the principal!?"

"It's so beautiful... I want to go to school here!"

"Don't be ridiculous. This is only for the opening ceremony. If there wasn't a great god controlling the ice, all the ice would have melted within half an hour."

"So if you become a monk, will you be able to add ice to your Coke?"

"I really want to see it live!"

"I really want to stay cool under these ice cubes that won't melt!"

Seeing this line of comments, Ren Suo scratched his head, walked to the balcony and looked into the distance at the huge ice tree on the playground. However, when he was exposed to the sunlight, he immediately shrank back from the balcony to the living room.

Leaving the comfortable air-conditioned room, I walked for several minutes under the scorching sun, sweating profusely before arriving at the Ice Crystal Opening Ceremony to enjoy the cool air...

Ren Suo was not a fool, he would not do that, so he had no intention of attending the opening ceremony from the beginning.

In fact, Ren Suo was not one of the faculty members who had to attend, so he stayed at home to watch the entrance ceremony.

After a quick glance at Ren Suo, he changed the live broadcast room and found that the opening ceremonies of the other nine colleges were not bad either. Some of the college leaders seemed to have awakening spells of trees, which gave birth to a primeval forest that covered the sky and blocked out the sun.

Some colleges call for all birds to listen quietly, and all students dare not move, because if they move, the pigeons on their bodies will coo;

These were still relatively normal. Ren Suo discovered that the most impressive opening ceremony was that of Tianhai College in Shenhai City. In fact, there were quite a few people who had the same idea as him - there were more than 200,000 spectators watching their opening ceremony!

There is no other reason, because the viewing effect is so strong!

The opening ceremony of Tianhai College was also held on the playground. The venue did not change at all, and no wild beasts or rare birds appeared. But the amazing thing was that every time the principal spoke a word while standing on the podium, the sound would condense into golden words in the air and hit the students!

The principal spoke like a lotus in a verbal battle, and threw golden words at the students. The golden words did not have any lethality and would scatter like gold powder when they fell on the students, but... it looked cool!

In the words of the barrage, this is the "superpower of having built-in subtitles"!

If this awakening ability can continue to be strengthened, will there be a version with subtitles in eight countries with simultaneous instant translation?

After viewing the opening ceremonies of the nine academies, Ren Suo easily understood the official intention: they wanted to refresh the public's understanding of Xuan Country's extraordinary strength.

Although the revival of spiritual energy has been known to everyone for a long time, and countries are also working hard to develop related technologies and cultivate powerful monks, in fact, there is no official place to demonstrate the powerful strength of extraordinary people.

The extraordinary ones are certainly extremely powerful, and the second-level monks are even faintly touching the threshold of the inhuman. However, if two monks use cold weapons to fight, the visual effect may not be much better than a kendo match. At most, it will have some fire and ice. To be frank, some short video apps now have wild awakeners who can make such videos, and they are popular anchors.

However, if the monks were asked to use hot weapons for training, it would not be able to demonstrate the monks' strength.

Because the strength of a monk ultimately relies on the powerful force of modern weapons, just like in robot animations, the robot is always more powerful than the driver, not the other way around.

Officials soon discovered that using combat to demonstrate the strength of monks was inappropriate: because combat was an activity that required quick reactions, monks could only use the fastest spells to attack and defend.

It would be too fake if the monk took a long time to come up with a good-looking big move, just like a magical girl taking off her clothes without anyone interrupting her.

More importantly, with the Renesse series of videos as a shining example, all other battle promotional videos pale in comparison.

Instead of creating a promotional video with visual effects that looks like a minor one, it would be better to change the promotional strategy and clearly demonstrate that the cultivators of Xuan State now have sufficient strength.

This opening ceremony is a great opportunity for display, and the academy's monks are semi-official, so even if something goes wrong, the official can remedy it in time afterwards.

However, in Ren Suo's opinion, the nine colleges should have handed in an answer sheet that satisfies the authorities and parents.

Even though everyone knew that this ceremony would definitely require a lot of preparation, it was enough that it looked cool, grand, and an extraordinary sight that could not be created with existing technology!

It's useless to promote how powerful this teacher's third transformation is, or how magical that teacher's awakening is. People can't feel that your teacher is much better than the awakening anchors on the short video software. Instead, if you clearly put on such a "grand show-off", everyone will be relieved: Xuan Country's Extraordinary Academy is powerful!

As to whether this impression can be consolidated in the future, it depends on the teaching situation and historical progress.

Ren Suo returned to the living room and prepared to play games when he suddenly received a call: "Your treatment has been decided."

"…The government is finally going to take action against a little kitty like me? Li Dan, save me!"

"Oh, I mean, your lab's application has been approved." Li Dan on the other end of the phone also realized his mistake: "Sorry, the file the deputy director gave me had 'criminal Ren Suo' on it, so I also..."

It's just that you lost dozens of days of vacation, you couldn't spend time with your girlfriend, and you had to go back to work 18 hours a day. You, Yu Kuangtu, are really cruel!

"Laboratory application?" Ren Suo thought for a moment and said, "Oh, is it about promotion to Level 3 researcher?"

"Yes, to apply for a Level 3 researcher, one must be an expert in the relevant field, and at least be affiliated with a nationally recognized research laboratory." Li Dan said:

"But I have a basic understanding of your academic level. You don't seem to be interested in furthering your studies, right?"

Ren Suo: "After graduation, I would rather take the civil service exam and work in the street office for the rest of my life. I have no interest in studying for a master's degree. What do you think..."

Li Dan said: "So I didn't pull you into the research group of other universities in Lianjiang. It just so happened that Tianlian College was just founded and there were plenty of empty rooms, so I helped you apply for an independent research room, and you can study the topic by yourself."

"The Countermeasures Bureau has basically no expectations for your research project. It is hoped that you will just write two countermeasures papers every month. Therefore, you will not have any pressure on your research project. But at the same time, there will be no research project assistance. At most, we can help you apply for an empty classroom in the college as your work location."

"I am a person who takes work very seriously." Ren Suo was a little dissatisfied: "Now that I have a research lab, I will definitely give it my all!"

Li Dan was obviously a little surprised: "Oh? There are actually several research indicators in the bureau..."

"It's too lazy to work in the laboratory. I want to apply to work from home." Ren Suo said righteously.

"...I'll try to apply." Li Dan said, "So what is the general direction of your research? Of course, it's related to spiritual energy. Just give a general idea."

"Are any videos, people, or influences related to Neiser okay?"

"Of course you can. In fact, most research labs will offer this type of topic to cheat money."

After hanging up the phone, Ren Suo looked at the time. It was almost 11 o'clock. He would go to the canteen to eat.

Suddenly, Ren Suo realized how horrible it was that Dong Chengling didn't cook for him - it only took 5 seconds to walk along the sunny avenue to get to Dong Chengling's house, but to get to the dining hall, one had to go through 180 seconds of scorching flames!

One round trip of the Tiandi Baking Oven Steamer takes nearly 360 seconds!

Why is there no takeaway food near the college?

Ren Suo, who went downstairs to eat with a parasol, happened to meet Dong Chengling who was walking back on his way to the cafeteria.

Maybe it was the special power of a third-level cultivator, but Dong Chengling didn't seem to be afraid of the sun. There wasn't a drop of sweat on his face. He greeted Ren Suo calmly.

Ren Suo, whose back was already sweating, saw her but his eyes lit up. He opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a word. Finally, he clenched his fists and said:

"Keep practicing, I'll wait for you!"

Dong Chengling was keenly aware of the change in Ren Suo's attitude. After watching him walk into the cafeteria, he couldn't help but admire Qiao Muyi.

It was so effective on the first day.

How about extending the overtime?

——————

After coming back from dinner and opening the game, Ren Suo discovered that the strategy tips had finally been updated.

For a whole day and night, Ren Suo, who had never studied English so hard in his senior year of high school, asked the rebel to talk about everything from King Arthur being a girl to the four ways of writing the word fennel, from Shakespeare's sonnets to the Girls' Opera, raising the limit to thirty-five sentences.

After much difficulty, they finally controlled the rebels, but in the end they were stuck here. However, Ren Suo was not annoyed.

Unlike ordinary game jams, this time the jam was not at all a test of Ren Suo's hardware capabilities, but a test of his English proficiency and various software capabilities.

In fact, Ren Suo discovered that Her Royal Highness the Princess would chat with the rebel about other things from time to time, but since Ren Suo couldn't understand, he could only let the rebel continue chatting according to the script.

Once Ren Suo prepares more topic materials and quickly improves his English skills, it will be no problem to increase the conversation limit to forty sentences.

In this regard, learning English is actually the easiest: Ren Suo has the "Hat of Seeking the Way and Correction" and nine years of English learning history, and because there is no Chinese translation, he has played many original English games (such as "Special Eight Pillars"), so his English ability is not that bad.

Moreover, he was learning for the sake of playing games. Ren Suo was very motivated to study. He did not sleep for the past two days and soon improved his English level.

However, this time the strategy tips challenged his English ability again:

"Strategy Tips: Her Highness the Princess is interested in the topic of 'Asgard' (talk to her about Asgard)"

Do the characters in the game also know about Asgard?

Ren Suo was slightly startled, but soon felt relieved.

It was the gaming experience of the past two days that blurred his impression. After all, the game screen was always a magical medieval palace banquet hall, and the NPCs that appeared were female knights, female demons, white emperors, rebels, and princesses...

But in fact, the rebels first appeared in a toilet with a toilet and a urinal.

There is no doubt that the rebel was once a modern man, or that he was related to that modern man.

At first, Ren Suo thought that the rebels had traveled to a magical world that had nothing to do with the Earth, but now it seems that is not the case - this place is undoubtedly closely related to the Earth.

Is there such a magical place on Earth? Is it like the forbidden fruit secret realm in "The Magician Under the World Tree", where the rebels are from some magical secret realm?

The NPCs here definitely existed, Ren Suo had never doubted that. But where exactly did this game take place?

Ren Suo thought about it and stopped thinking about it. Anyway, only by clearing the level could he get more information.

So he asked the rebel to come over and chat with Her Royal Highness the Princess: "Which character in Asgard do you like?"

This is one of the techniques for picking up girls: Don’t ask a question that can only be answered with a ‘yes’. Instead, ask a question that requires her to think and will reveal more information about her. For example, don’t ask her ‘do you wear underwear’, but ‘what kind of underwear do you like to wear’. Have you learned it? Go and try it!

The princess was indeed fooled: "I prefer killers, what about you?"

Rebel: "I like seekers."

Princess: "I also like seekers. What do you like about seekers?"

Ren Suo struck while the iron was hot and asked the rebel to answer according to the guide to picking up girls: "Because the seeker has a beautiful face, a plump bust, a slender waist and a great butt, just like Her Royal Highness the Princess."

…The rebel was carried out again by the bodyguards.

After trying two or three more times, Ren Suo didn't dare to use any tricks to flirt with girls this time. He just casually chatted about the characters in the Fairy Palace. Soon, he would have chatted with Her Royal Highness the Princess for fifty sentences!

Her Royal Highness the Princess ended the topic of Asgard at the forty-fifth sentence: "So you are a rebel, no wonder you know so much information about Asgard."

Hmm? Does the rebel have a well-informed character?

As they were about to achieve their goal, Ren Suo told the rebel, "Besides Asgard, there are many things I want to talk to you about."

Princess: "What's the matter?"

"I want to tell you about the joys, anger, sorrows, and happiness in my first half of life, all the past that you have never participated in. Then, I hope to participate in my second half of life with you."

Will the flirting work? Ren Suo waited nervously.

Even though Ren Suo felt these words were cheesy even when he typed them out, it wasn't him who said them, so there was nothing to be afraid of. It was the rebels who were being naughty, not him.

As long as the rebels can get through, everything is fine!
