Chapter 298: Get in the car! The car door is almost welded shut (asking for monthly tickets)
"Why would the weapon refining department reduce its moves?"
Zhang Yu never thought that after entering university, he would encounter a similar situation as his high school martial arts teacher Lei Jun.
It’s just that Lei Jun encountered a reduction in the number of students admitted for the foundation-building qualification certificate, while he encountered a reduction in the number of students admitted for graduate studies.
After spending some time, Zhang Yu found that he could not find the reason for the reduction in moves on the spiritual world network.
However, after school that day, when he was taking medicine in the dormitory, Zhang Pianpian listened to his questions and gave some answers.
Zhang Pianpian said, "It is said that several weapon refining masters at the God Transformation Realm took the lead in protesting, believing that the current weapon refining departments of various universities lack educational resources and cannot match the number of students."
As Zhang Pianpian's fingertips gently moved across the book, countless pieces of information emerged in her eyes.
She continued, "Secondly, they believe that the quality of current weapon refiners is insufficient and the standards should be further improved..."
Zhang Yu cursed in his heart: "Damn it, they welded the car door shut as soon as they got in the car, right?"
Zhang Pianpian shook her head and said, "They are just superficial excuses."
"The real reason..."
Zhang Pianpian used her fingertips to draw a rune on the book that Zhang Yu could not understand. The next moment, a large amount of information from the depths of the spiritual world flashed in her eyes.
Zhang Pianpian smiled faintly and said, "The real reason is probably that the top ten universities have joined forces to limit the number of weapon refining students in all universities and consolidate their leading position."
"Zhang Yu, if you want to take the graduate entrance exam for the Equipment Refining Department, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."
Zhang Pianpian sighed: "I checked the admission standards in recent years, and they have been rising almost every year."
"If you want to transfer to another department, the requirements have become higher, basically you need to be ranked in the top 50 in the department."
"If it's the civil engineering department, then you need to be ranked in the top 20 of the department."
Zhang Yu was surprised and said, "Such high requirements? Isn't it too outrageous?"
"Top 20 in the department? I'm ranked in the top 20 in the department, regardless of grade, so I can switch to a refiner? Who set this standard?"
Zhang Pianpian said calmly: "This is just the registration standard for the transfer exam."
"According to the new standards, if you want to compete with other students, you have to compete for additional scores."
"For example, if you have mastered the techniques of refining equipment, refining pills, refining medicine, setting up formations, etc. in advance, you can get extra points and be given priority for admission."
Zhang Yu frowned even more when he heard this. Those extra skills seemed to cost more money than the others. How could this be a talent screening? It was clearly a screening of wealthy students.
Zhang Pianpian continued, "Zhang Yu, if you still plan to pursue the path of weapon refining, you have to work harder."
"After all, by the time your class comes around, I'm afraid the admissions requirements will be even higher."
Zhang Pianpian shook her head and said with emotion: "But there is nothing we can do about it. The current trend is to reduce the number of students in popular majors."
"Not only the Equipment Refining Department, but the three most powerful departments of Wanfa University are all reducing their enrollment."
"For example, the admissions requirements for the Department of Finance have already skyrocketed."
"After all, the dining table is so small. If one more person goes up, the others will have to eat less."
"As time goes by, it will become increasingly difficult to climb up in Kunxu."
"For example, the entry-level candidates of the ten major sects...may not be recruiting in a few years."
After hearing about the changes in enrollment quotas for graduate students and the Equipment Refining Department, Zhang Yu frowned but remained calm, only thinking about working harder in the future.
But when he heard Zhang Pianpian's last words, his eyes suddenly widened and he said, "Sister...Senior! What did you say?"
"The ten major sects may not recruit people in a few years?"
At this moment, with the non-stop study and practice every day, the power of ritual that has not emerged for a long time... Zhang Yu seemed to recall the familiar chill again.
Zhang Yu, who originally thought that he could temporarily relax after being admitted to the top ten universities according to his dream path, became nervous again at this moment.
He still clearly remembered the path he had set to realize his wish.
He was admitted to university, joined a sect, and finally relied on the sect's salary to realize his wish of buying antiques...
"Fuck, if the ten major sects don't accept people anymore, then I won't be able to fulfill my ritual wish? Then when I graduate...will I be killed by the backlash of the ritual?"
"Foggy! Did you hear that? Is there no way you can stop this damn ceremony?"
Fu Ji smiled awkwardly: "Oh, I didn't expect it to be so curly now."
Just as Zhang Yu's heart was filled with shock, Zhang Pianpian looked at his expression strangely and replied calmly, "I found out after coming here that many situations are different from what we thought before. Since the establishment of the college entrance examination system and the university system, there have been peerless geniuses who have climbed up almost every year and have been recruited from the top ten universities into the top ten sects."
"Under this system, the number of people in the ten major sects is increasing every year, and peerless geniuses are emerging in an endless stream."
"Each of these geniuses among geniuses is a person of extraordinary talent and talent."
"With so many people joining the sect and climbing towards the peak of the immortal path... don't you think it will become more and more crowded?"
"For the ten major sects, the number of immortal talents may have overflowed."
"As the cars become more and more crowded, the standards for getting on the cars will naturally have to be raised."
Zhang Pianpian sighed, "Based on the data I have learned so far, judging from the trends in the past few years, there may no longer be any mortals in the ten major sects, and the birth rate may have dropped to zero for quite some time. None of the people who go there to work can leave their household registration there, and they still have to come down after working for a certain period of time..."
"I think... in a few years we will reach that critical point."
"By then, the ten major sects may no longer recruit disciples, and the sect caves above the tenth floor may no longer be open to the lower floors."
"Above the sect and below the sect will completely become two different worlds."
Listening to what Zhang Pianpian said, Zhang Yu cursed in his heart: "Why did I get stuck at this time?"
"If I had been born twenty or forty years earlier, wouldn't it be several levels easier to take the college entrance exam or join a sect?"
"It's fine if it's difficult now, but maybe they'll stop it for me?"
Zhang Pianpian looked at Zhang Yu's uncertain expression and asked doubtfully, "Zhang Yu, do you really want to join the top ten sects?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Do you think there is still hope for me?"
Zhang Pianpian checked the data and said, "Last year, the sect recruited... 5 students in the weapon refining department."
Zhang Yu's face changed when he heard this: "Wanfa Sect recruited him?"
Zhang Pianpian shook his head: "The ten major sects recruited a total of 5 people from all the doctoral students in the weapon refining department of the university, 4 of them are in the Nascent Soul stage and 1 is in the Golden Core stage."
"If you want to join the top ten sects, you must at least be promoted to a doctorate."
Zhang Yu felt his heart chilled when he heard this.
Then he thought of the expanded enrollment of graduate students in the Department of Civil Engineering, and asked with a hint of anticipation: "What about the Department of Civil Engineering? Does the Department of Civil Engineering recruit a lot of students?..."
"0." Zhang Pianpian said calmly, "Last year... the top ten sects recruited no civil engineering disciples."
"It has been tacitly acknowledged that the top ten sects may have stopped recruiting students from the civil engineering department."
"I looked it up. If you really want to join the top ten sects, the probability of the weapon refining department is already relatively high. The probability of other departments is either lower than that of the weapon refining department, or about the same..."
Zhang Yu asked, "Then... how many years do you think it will take for the ten great sects to completely stop summoning people?"
"Five years? Ten years? Twenty years?" Zhang Pianpian shook his head and sighed, "It's hard to say. You know, for immortals, these ten or thirty years may be the same."
Zhang Yu asked again: "Have you ever thought about joining the top ten sects?"
Zhang Pianpian smiled faintly and said, "The Eight Divisions of Righteous Gods are my destiny."
As she spoke, she sighed slightly, "After entering university, I felt more and more that... we were born a little late after all."
Zhang Yu couldn't help but clench his fists when he heard this, thinking to himself, "No, this won't work. It's too dangerous."
Seeing Zhang Yu's frown, Zhang Pianpian said, "If you really want to seize the last chance, you have to complete the credits in advance and then apply for graduation."
"But that means... you have to complete your training in a shorter time, and then compete with those elites who have practiced for ten years for a place in graduate school. Then, you can complete your graduate studies in an even shorter time, and then compete for a place in the doctoral program..."
Thinking of this, Zhang Pianpian couldn't help but shook his head: "Just grasp the present first."
Zhang Yu thought to himself: "Graduate early?"
Zhang Pianpian reminded again: "Remember, don't be impatient."
"As the saying goes, more haste makes waste. Don't lose your composure and expose yourself."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this, trying to calm himself down.
Since entering university, Zhang Yu has been able to thrive like a fish in water thanks to his profound experience accumulated in the past. His cultivation, strength, grades and rankings have all been growing steadily.
After joining the construction site not long ago, even the spirit coins have shown a clear growth trend.
Originally, he thought that as long as he improved himself step by step, going to school, taking exams, and eventually joining one of the ten major sects, he would be done.
However, he did not expect that the situation in Kunxu was far worse than he had imagined.
However, Zhang Yu was powerless to influence the policies of the ten major sects. The only thing he could do now was to work harder and practice harder in order to increase his success rate a little bit.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu thought quickly in his mind: "To do this without exposing my special talent, I have to make more money."
Zhang Yu understood that the more money he made, the faster he would improve. It was also a good cover for his rapid improvement, able to conceal his astonishing talent.
"It just so happens that I now have a job on a construction site, so I don't have to worry about spending more than I earn."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu had a plan in mind: "Then next... I will spend money to improve my strength as a basis for improving the efficiency of the construction site, and then earn more spirit coins, and spend more spirit coins to improve my strength..."
So after a moment, various products and services flashed back and forth in Zhang Yu's eyes, and he had already started to choose what to buy next.
