After all the teachers took their seats, Yang Lin, as the counselor for this year's freshmen, walked up to the podium.
She first introduced herself, and then introduced the principal and teachers to the freshmen.
Every time a new student was introduced, the freshmen responded with warm applause.
Finally, the principal gave a closing speech.
The old principal took the microphone and said with a smile: "I will just say a few words... Don't worry, it's really very simple. I won't waste your time with a bunch of nonsense or make you fall asleep."
The freshmen chuckled and thought the principal was quite interesting.
The old principal continued, "You have all met the teachers of various majors. Some of you have chosen multiple majors, but it doesn't matter. The teachers will take this into consideration when arranging the courses to ensure that everyone can attend the classes smoothly. In the future, in addition to the basic knowledge of the majors, you will have two very important tasks: one is to build a foundation, and the other is to learn the basic control and modification techniques of the flying sword."
Laying the foundation is easy. Everyone knows its importance. We have also heard of the rule that if we fail to lay the foundation within three years, we can only leave the school with a completion certificate.
What is the basic control and modification technology of the flying sword?
Even those who are not experts in flying swords need to learn it? Or is it an important task?
When the freshmen heard this, they all looked like they had a black question mark on their faces.
The old principal did not keep us in suspense and quickly explained the reason:
"In ancient Shu Province, sword cultivation was popular, and many cultivation sects focused on sword cultivation. Later, it was transformed into a cultivation university, with all-round professional development, but flying swords are still our strong point. Learning the basic control and modification techniques of flying swords has been retained as a tradition and is a compulsory course for all majors."
"In November of every year, all the cultivation universities in Shu Province will jointly hold the 'Welcome Cup' Flying Sword Rally. Participants are freshmen of that year, and they not only compete for individual rankings, but also for team points rankings."
"Our Qingcheng Mountain Xiuzhen University has always been a strong contender for the championship of this event. It's a pity that we have been unlucky in recent years and have missed the championship many times. You are all talented children. I hope you can perform well in this rally and let the championship trophy return to the school! As long as you can get a good ranking, the school will definitely not be stingy with rewards!"
The old principal waved his hand, and a beam of light appeared in the auditorium, which gathered into paragraphs of text. It was the reward for the rally. Not only money, but also various resource rewards and academic support.
All the students looked up and looked at him curiously.
Sumu is no exception.
After a quick look, I found that in the individual competition, it was not only the champions who could get rewards, the top 100 also received rewards, but the rewards before the 50th place were relatively small, more like a participation award. After the 50th place, the rewards increased in a step-by-step manner, with each 10th place increasing by one level.
After reaching the top ten, the reward will increase significantly for each higher place. The reward for the champion is the highest and most attractive.
In addition to the rewards for the individual competition, there are also generous rewards for the top three in team points.
Su Mu felt that this reward model was very familiar. After pondering it for a while, he muttered: "Damn, isn't this the reward model for the personal battle power list and guild ranking list in mobile games? The person who formulated this reward method must be a colleague in the same industry, right? This is forcing us to spend money and work hard to rush up!"
He glanced around and found that, as expected, not to mention ordinary students, even rich people like Kevin and children of noble families like Pei Jun were thirsty for food and were very tempted by these rewards.
What they value is not money, but resources and academic support.
Many of the resources are new products independently cultivated and developed by Qingcheng Mountain Cultivation University, such as elixirs and medicinal incense to assist in spiritual practice, spiritual dishes and teas for daily consumption, etc. These are all supplied on a long-term basis and are not available on the market.
As for academic support, it is even more amazing. As a freshman, you can practice with your master's and doctoral supervisors, receive their guidance, and have them formulate your own practice and study plan. This is a good thing that money can't buy!
In order to regain the championship trophy of the 'Welcome Cup' Flying Sword Rally, Qingcheng Mountain Cultivation University also made a lot of efforts.
All the freshmen in the auditorium stared in amazement, and some even swallowed their saliva.
Su Mu was also very excited, but he had a question in his mind, but it was not convenient to ask in such an occasion. He planned to ask counselor Yang Lin later.
The old principal was very satisfied with the reaction of the freshmen and encouraged them again: "Students, come on, I look forward to you bringing honor back to the school!"
The freshmen's fighting spirit was aroused, and they responded one after another:
"Principal, rest assured, we will work hard to win back the championship trophy!"
“We will definitely bring honor to the school!”
"We are the strongest! The strongest!"
"I'm looking forward to the day when I can celebrate for you here." The old principal was very satisfied with the freshmen's reaction, and he ended the freshman meeting with these words.
After the principal and teachers left, the freshmen also prepared to leave.
"Have you arranged dormitories for the two of you? Where are you going to live?" Su Mu asked.
Kevin and Pei Jun told each other their dormitory numbers and searched on the map on the school app. They found that they were not far away, which would make it convenient for them to visit each other in the future.
"What are you going to do next?" Su Mu looked at the time. It was only a quarter past four. He thought about going to the library to borrow some books needed to break through the foundation-building application science.
"I have nothing to do, so I plan to go back to my room and rest." Pei Jun said. He is a quiet person, so he is afraid of Kevin who is so outgoing and talkative.
"Where are you going?" Kevin asked.
"I plan to go to the library." Su Mu said.
"Library? What are we going to do there? It's so boring." Kevin frowned.
The place he disliked the most was the library, because it was a torture for him to keep quiet there. He turned his head and said to Pei Jun, "Old Pei, I'll go sit with you for a while."
Pei Jun's face changed, and he hurriedly pulled Su Mu: "I'll go to the library with you."
"I think it's boring if you do this." Kevin spread his hands. His Chinese was getting better and better.
The three of them were talking as they walked out of the auditorium, when suddenly a figure jumped out from the side and blocked their way.
He is the school's security panda.
"Uncle Xiong...what's up?" Su Mu wanted to call Xiong Da, but he felt that was a bit impolite, so he just called him uncle. Anyway, this panda could speak human language, so he must have practiced in the Qingcheng Mountain Cultivation University for many years. Calling him uncle might be an advantage.
Even in the auditorium, the panda was chewing on a piece of magical bamboo, looking fearless.
After hearing Su Mu's greeting, it nodded. Although it didn't express anything, Su Mu knew that it was quite satisfied with this name. If he really dared to call it Big Bear, he would probably offend people... No, he would offend the bear.
"Xiao Suzi, why did you come here alone? Where is your sister?" asked the panda.
Su Mu replied: "She is not a student of our school yet, so she did not come to this meeting."
After a pause, he made a request: "Uncle Xiong, just call me Xiao Su, and don't wear a belt, otherwise I always feel cold down there."
"Hehe, if I don't call you Xiao Suzi, won't you feel cold down there?" The panda sneered.
Su Mu was confused. What does that mean? Do you look down on me? You know what I mean? If I take it out, I'll scare you to death!
Panda ignored him and continued, "Go back and tell your sister to come see us next Saturday."
"Can I ask what you want to see her for?" Su Mu asked. It's not that he was afraid that these guys who had become spirits would harm Xiao Ye. In the Qingcheng Mountain Cultivation University, no matter whether they were humans or spirits, they dared not mess around.
"She's a little weak, so we plan to get some nourishment for her. If you're worried, come along and we'll give you some, too." After the panda finished speaking, he walked out of the auditorium while chewing on the spiritual bamboo.
"Thank you, Uncle Xiong." Su Mu hurriedly chased after him to thank him. No matter what, the other party had good intentions, so he had to be polite and have the right attitude.
