Chapter 6
After clicking the link, the page jumps instantly.
Cen Xun's phone screen went black for a few seconds. Sticky dark red blood gradually seeped out from the dark background, forming two lines of text:
[Student Portal Entrance]
【Teacher entrance】
The moment he saw this strange color combination, Cen Xun felt that it was a sure thing.
There is definitely something wrong with this survey.
However, the questionnaire survey is specifically divided into student side and teacher side. Could it be that the questions on the two ports are different?
Cen Xun tentatively clicked on the [Student Portal], and the next page that popped up required him to enter his student ID and name.
After exiting the student login page, Cen Xun opened the [Teacher Portal], and a login page appeared where he needed to enter his work ID and name.
Obviously, only faculty members and students with identity files at H University are eligible to fill out the questionnaire.
Combining what happened in the lecture hall, Cen Xun gradually sorted out his thoughts.
The principal is very wary of "social figures", believing that they will undermine the security of the school, and the basis for distinguishing "social figures" is H University's student and work numbers.
Whether it is security guards preventing players from eavesdropping on the content of meetings, or questionnaires that require entering student ID numbers to log in, they are all setting limits for players with the aim of completely excluding them from the questionnaires.
Therefore, Cen Xun can boldly guess that this questionnaire must be related to H's cycle or even more serious. Perhaps it is also closely related to H's later decline into a copy.
Guessing this, Cen Xun was more interested in the content of the questionnaire, but now was not the time to fill it out in a hurry. Who knew what kind of dangers were hidden in the questionnaire?
Cen Xun planned to first look at the questions on the student side, compare them with those on the teacher side, find out the principal's ideas, and then make a decision.
Cen Xun has a group meeting at 3:30, and he can use a few students as guinea pigs at that time.
I returned to the office in a good mood, ready to take the USB drive and documents to the meeting room, but unexpectedly I met a few uninvited guests at the office door.
A group of men and women gathered at the door of his office. Several pairs of eyes looking at him almost glowed green, making Cen Xun think of a wild dog that had been hungry for several days.
As soon as Cen Xun approached, the wild dogs swarmed over and licked him: "Teacher Cen, is there anything we can help you with?!"
What followed was a mess of thoughts.
"It turns out that being a dog licker really can have everything. From now on, I will be Professor Cen's dog!"
"Damn it! Why didn't this crappy game mention earlier that you could increase NPC favorability? I was thrown out by the principal and fell straight into a septic tank and drowned. Who can I ask for justice for this suffocating experience?"
"I lick you, Professor, look at me. I am your best dog."
Cen Xun: "The steps that had retreated without leaving a trace moved forward again."
It turns out to be a player.
Cen Xun glanced at the group of players, pretending not to know their purpose, and said lightly: "There is no need for help at the moment." He might not be sure about that in the future.
The players got his subtext and became excited.
There really is a mission!
Sure enough, the key information is with Cen Xun!
"Hey, Teacher Cen, this is the fruit I just bought."
"Teacher Cen, this flower is beautiful and complements you!"
"Teacher Cen, let me help you mop the floor in your office. It's a bit dirty."
Cen Xun refused the fruits and flowers on the grounds that the school forbade teachers to accept gifts from students, but he did not refuse to mop the floor. The player who suggested mopping the floor was immediately elated and took out the mop eagerly to mop the floor.
Others were inspired by this, some wiped the table, some wiped the curtains.
Cen Xun ignored them and sat down at his desk. After a pause, he unlocked his phone and seemed to accidentally reveal the black and red login page.
The strange black and red color scheme was very eye-catching. The players who were secretly watching Cen Xun noticed the strange page almost instantly. However, before they could see the content on it clearly, Cen Xun seemed to notice the gaze, frowned, and quickly flipped the phone over, covering the screen on the desktop.
The actions that made things more obvious and the alert expression, such abnormal behavior undoubtedly aroused the curiosity of the players, making them more convinced that Cen Xun was hiding a huge secret.
The players exchanged meaningful glances, and when Cen Xun looked over, they quickly looked away, pretending nothing had happened and continued to work.
Cen Xun casually caught a black carp from the player, then picked up his things as planned and prepared to go to the conference room for a team meeting.
The players were as well-behaved as little chickens, and they respectfully sent him out. Although they seemed quiet on the surface, everyone was actually very restless.
"What is that! What is it? It's not a key, is it? No way, no way?"
"I really want to grab the professor's phone and take a closer look, but I'm afraid he'll poke my eyes out."
"I'll report back to the captain. The clue to the 'key' is very likely with Cen Xun. The assassination plan will have to be postponed."
Cen Xun paused.
An assassination plot? Was it aimed at him?
Someone wants to kill him?
Cen Xun lowered his eyelashes, and faces flashed through his mind. If he had to say which player he had offended in the game, it would only be Gu Shao. Could the "captain" he was talking about in his heart be Gu Shao?
Cen Xun intuitively felt that it was not similar.
He stroked the wedding ring on his ring finger thoughtfully, secretly raising his vigilance.
No matter who wants to kill him, he will make sure that person never comes back.
At 15:30, Cen Xun held the group meeting as normal as in every previous cycle.
He has five graduate students under him, two women and three men. Their academic abilities are uneven and poor. The only thing they have in common is that when each of them gives a report, they look like a corpse that has been rotting for three days, emitting a dead smell of sewers.
From the moment he walked in, the atmosphere in the conference room took a sharp turn for the worse, and when he sat down, the atmosphere became extremely stagnant.
The girl wearing thick glasses had beads of sweat on her forehead. She stood up tremblingly and swallowed her saliva: "Hello teacher, last week I..."
Cen Xun raised his hand, interrupting her: "The group meeting is suspended, let's do the questionnaire first." He had listened to everyone's report many times on loop, so there was really no need to listen to it again.
Unexpectedly, Cen Xun interrupted her. The girl froze for a moment, as if there was a bug in the program, and her whole body froze.
Cen Xun waited patiently for the program to respond.
According to Cen Xun's observation, the "NPCs" inside H University are a little smarter than those outside H University.
For example, cars on the overpass will not avoid other cars or evade on their own, and will move completely according to the path. They will not stop even if they collide with other cars. However, students from H University will stop to watch him fall from the building and take out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Cen Xun believes that this should be related to the fact that H University was designated as an internal testing copy. Because of this, students on campus will have a certain degree of autonomy.
So Cen Xun decided to trigger a new dialogue with the students.
The girl with thick glasses took a while to react before she responded, asking with a hint of doubt: "Questionnaire?"
Cen Xun sat in the first seat, her beautiful face, veiled by dark hair, a look of emotion hard to discern. "The school wants to improve student happiness, so we've sent a questionnaire to every student via text message. Teachers need to urge students to complete it. Time is short and the task is heavy, so please complete the questionnaire first."
"Oh, okay, teacher." Cen Xun was so powerful that the girl with thick glasses didn't suspect anything and quickly took out her cell phone and did as she was told.
Cen Xun temporarily ignored the other students who were sitting stiffly, stood up and stood behind the girl with thick glasses, observing openly.
She entered the student login page, entered her student ID and name, and clicked "Login." The next second, a facial recognition screen popped up on the page.
Cen Xun: “Such a weird questionnaire actually has facial recognition.”
If a player wants to log in with a student account, he or she will be stopped by facial recognition. It would be really troublesome if the player puts himself or herself in the shoes of others.
But then again, players can actually stand next to the students and peek like him, or wait for the students to pass the facial verification before snatching the phone. Did the principal not expect such a situation?
Cen Xun shook his head. Now the players didn't even know the existence of the questionnaire, so there was no point in him thinking so much. Cen Xun focused his mind and looked at the content of the questionnaire intently.
The first question: Do you think H University is your dream university?
A. Absolutely.
B. There is a little gap, but it is acceptable.
C. It’s a huge difference and it’s not my dream university at all, but I think I can improve and I don’t want to drop out for the time being.
D. It’s a huge difference. It’s not the university of my dreams at all. I feel there is no way to improve and I want to drop out immediately.
Cen Xun was speechless for a moment, then said to the girl with thick glasses, "Try choosing A."
The girl with thick glasses was confused, but did as she was told.
Choose A and skip to the second question: Please describe your dream university in detail and write down the dream you want to achieve at H University.
Cen Xun: "Choose B again."
If you choose B, you will be prompted to the second question: Please describe in detail the reasons for the gap and offer your valuable suggestions on how the school can improve the shortcomings.
Cen Xun: "Choose C."
If you choose C, the second question that pops up is exactly the same as B.
This time, without Cen Xun telling her anything, the girl with thick glasses automatically chose D.
If you choose D, the second question that pops up has changed: The school respects every decision made by students. If you are really miserable and want to drop out, please fill out the withdrawal application form and go to the Academic Affairs Office to complete the withdrawal procedures.
After reading the four options, Cen Xun fell into deep thought.
Looking at these problems alone, there's really nothing unusual. It seems like the president really values students' feelings and wants to build a good university that satisfies all students.
But is it really that simple? Cen Xun thought it was impossible.
Cen Xun asked the girl with thick glasses: "Which option do you want to choose?"
The girl with thick glasses seemed to be kidnapped by him and asked timidly, "Can I choose whatever I want?"
Cen Xun began to think about what image he had in the eyes of his students. He said, "Hmm," and said, "Choose what you want."
The man with thick glasses hesitated for a while on option "C", but finally chose "B".
After the second question popped up, the girl wanted to type, but suddenly stopped before typing. Cen Xun made a questioning sound and asked her why she didn't continue.
I only heard the girl ask awkwardly: "Teacher, can I really fill in anything?"
Cen Xun said expressionlessly, "Just fill it out. Write whatever you want. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
The girl then began to type confidently.
Please describe in detail the reasons for the gap and offer your valuable suggestions on how the school can improve the shortcomings.
The girl wrote: After so much hardship, I thought my life would be smooth sailing. I didn’t expect that the moment I got ashore was the happiest moment. The sense of difference comes from the life of a beast of burden. If possible, I hope the school will cancel group meetings, prohibit tutors from asking students to make PPTs, prohibit assigning endless reports, and prohibit
Cen Xun: “”
He endured it patiently, waiting for the girl to finish filling out her outrageous suggestion, and then clicked to jump to the next question.
If the school improves its shortcomings, what kind of dream do you hope to achieve at H University?
The word "dream" was mentioned again.
Cen Xun stared at these two words and asked the girl to fill them out casually.
The girl thought for a moment and answered: I want to graduate easily and find a good job after graduation, with a monthly salary of at least 10,000 yuan.
"Cen Xun was in a complicated mood, and there was a bit more pity in his eyes when he looked at the girl. This silly child, she had already started making wishes, but she didn't even dare to make a big one.
This questionnaire is surprisingly simple. After finishing this question, there is only the last question left.
[Other suggestions (optional)]
Cen Xun raised his eyebrows slightly.
Judging from the series of questions extending from option B, the core content of this questionnaire is obviously related to "dreams".
Why is the school so obsessed with becoming the "dream university" of its students? What benefits does becoming a "dream university" bring to the school, and what role does the questionnaire that collects student suggestions play in this?
Questions came one after another, and the seemingly simple and normal questionnaire seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, making it impossible to see the true purpose of the questioner.
Cen Xun twirled the silver ring on his ring finger, squinted at the last multiple-choice question, and suddenly curled his lips slightly, saying to the girl with thick glasses, "For the last question, answer it like this."
"The old principal is too old to be of the same caliber, and Professor Cen is both knowledgeable and highly respected. I suggest that the old principal step down and Professor Cen become the new principal."
The girl with thick glasses: “Huh?”
She turned her head, her wooden expression cracked, and even her eyes, which had been narrowed, widened in shock!
Her mentor's expression was serious, not at all joking. Her beautiful red lips parted slightly, and she uttered a word coldly: "Fill in."
“Do we really need to fill it out like this?”
"Um."
The girl was shocked, but she obediently filled out her instructor's outrageous remarks in the questionnaire.
Click Submit, and a black and red check mark indicating successful submission will appear in the next second.
Cen Xun: "How do you feel now?"
The girl said inexplicably: "No."
Cen Xun nodded slightly: "You do your thing, I still have something to say to your senior sister and junior brother."
Girl: “Oh”
She stared blankly as Cen Xun walked towards her senior sister who was sitting next to her. She was a cool, long-haired girl with a calm demeanor. She was also nearsighted, but she didn't like wearing framed glasses, preferring contact lenses.
The girl with thick glasses pretended to look through some information, but was actually paying close attention to Cen Xun's movements. She felt that every move of her tutor was so strange and novel, giving her a weird feeling as if she had been possessed by an evil alien.
She was a little absent-minded and suddenly couldn't remember what "aliens" were.
Yeah, what are “aliens”?
On the other side, Cen Xun woke up the remaining four students on standby one by one and urged them to complete the questionnaire.
The girl with long hair chose A as the first option, absolutely.
Please describe your dream university in detail and write down the dream you want to achieve at H University.
The long-haired girl filled in with a grim expression: "My dream university has first-class faculty, first-class cafeterias and dormitories, as well as first-class campus environment and classmates. But unfortunately, H mostly does not have these. The reason why I chose A is because I will graduate in half a year, and I don't want the school to make things difficult for me in the future."
Cen Xun: “”
When writing about the dream she wanted to fulfill, the girl with long hair hesitated for a moment and continued: I want to watch a meteor shower with him again before graduation.
The next question is the same as the last question for the girl with thick glasses: [Other suggestions (optional)]
Cen Xun instructed the long-haired girl to fill out a suggestion according to his instructions: "You fill in, the meteor shower poses a threat to the safety of the school. I suggest that the school grant my mentor, Professor Cen, the power to change the trajectory of meteors. Under the professor's protection, all students can watch the meteor shower safely."
Long-haired girl: ""
She silently turned her head and looked at Cen Xun, emphasizing: "Teacher, I am a graduate student." Not an elementary school student.
Cen Xun had a blank expression on his face: "Just fill it out like this."
Even if his students regard him as a teacher with a middle school syndrome, Cen Xun must still sell this cheapness.
Because Cen Xun felt that the questionnaire repeatedly emphasized the word "dream", which must be a big problem.
Corresponding to the "dream", it is hard for Cen Xun not to think of the "nightmare" of the "nightmare system".
The principal is not idle. Since he asked the students to fill out this questionnaire, it is definitely not formalism. It is very likely that the "dreams" filled out by the students will come true in some way.
But will the "dream" that comes true really be a beautiful dream, or will it become another form of "nightmare"?
This world is called "Nightmare World", how could its first beta copy be so kind?
So just in case, Cen Xun stacked several layers of buffs for himself in the optional options.
Cen Xun was not sure whether this would be useful, as all his inferences were based on logical reasoning.
However, it doesn't matter even if the inference is wrong. After so many cycles, the students are still alive, so Cen Xun is more inclined to believe that the consequences of failing one round are acceptable to him.
Rather than collecting clues in a routine manner, Cen Xun prefers exciting adventures.
So Cen Xun did not hold back and woke up the other three boys, asking them to choose options ABC respectively.
Cen Xun did not let any student choose D. The direction of D was too dangerous. The school had an attitude of giving up on students who wanted to drop out immediately. If a student really went to drop out, it was still unknown whether he could actually leave H University alive.
Although the academic level of these graduate students is average, they are still his students after all, and Cen Xun does not want to let them take risks.
Soon, three boys submitted their questionnaires one after another. One of them chose C. It is worth mentioning that the follow-up questions from option C are exactly the same as those from option B, with no difference.
After all students finished answering the questionnaire, Cen Xun announced that the group meeting would be postponed to tomorrow and ended the meeting.
The five students walked out of the meeting room in a daze, leaving Cen Xun sitting in his original position, clasping his fingers together, lowering his eyelashes to hide the complex look in his eyes.
In the past, after the meeting, he would take Feng Jihan's car home, but now things are different. In order to find out the truth about H University, he must stay in school tonight.
Feng Jihan was left in the kitchen by him today to repeat his lines, and he wondered if he would break down.
Cen Xun took a deep breath, stopped his emotional thinking, returned to rationality, took out his mobile phone, pursed his lips and clicked on the teacher login page of the questionnaire.
The questionnaire was like a token of allegiance, and he had to do it to participate in the principal's plan. Cen Xun calmly entered his work number and name, passed the facial verification, and entered the questionnaire page.
The first question: Are you satisfied with your current teaching life?
A. Very satisfied.
Please describe your dream teaching life and write down the dream you want to achieve at H University.
B. Generally satisfied. Teaching life has affected my mood.
Please describe the reasons for your dissatisfaction in detail and offer your valuable suggestions on how the school can improve its shortcomings and stabilize the teachers' emotions.
C. I am very dissatisfied. This is not the teaching life I want. I am on the verge of a breakdown every day. However, I feel that there is still hope for the future and I do not want to resign for the time being.
Please describe in detail the reasons for the discrepancy and offer your valuable suggestions on how the school can improve its shortcomings and stabilize teachers' emotions.
D. I am very dissatisfied. This is not the teaching life I want. I am on the verge of a breakdown every day. I feel completely hopeless and want to resign immediately.
The school respects every decision made by teachers. If you are truly distressed and want to resign, please submit a resignation letter to the principal.
Cen Xun chose C without hesitation.
Please describe in detail the reasons for the discrepancy and offer your valuable suggestions on how the school can improve its shortcomings and stabilize teachers' emotions.
Cen Xun added: "My first half of life was too smooth, so when I started my teaching career, I wanted to have a miserable life experience. It would be best if every student disrespected me and beat me, every colleague and superior looked down on me and attacked me wantonly, and even if I walked on the street, I would be assassinated."
Cen Xun wrote here, coughed lightly, and continued writing: If you want to stabilize my emotions, my suggestion is that the whole school should not be too nice to me, and it is best to give me the lowest professional title.
If the school can solve your problems, what kind of dream do you hope to achieve at H University?
Cen Xun added: Refer to the previous question.
[Other suggestions (optional)]
Cen Xun added: I hope all teachers and students respect the principal as they respect me.
After filling in the form, click Submit.
The originally smooth page jump suddenly froze, and the screen was black for more than ten seconds before the black and red check mark indicating that the questionnaire was completed was displayed.
Cen Xun curled his lips. He suspected that the CPU of this system was about to be burned out by him.
After locking his phone, Cen Xun leaned back in his chair and began to look forward to the arrival of night.
