Chapter 442  : You Will Be a Great Source of Combat Power

Lin Fuxi’s breath was stuck in her chest. She was jealous.

Listen to that. Was that what a person would say?

She only had a few more houses.

Only?

This was B City.

As the saying went, it was difficult to stay in the city.

Housing was especially difficult.

Others might not be able to afford a house after working hard all their lives, yet for Tan Mo, it was that “she only had a few more houses.”

Lin Fuxi’s main goal until now was to stay in B City after graduation, be able to buy a house in the city, and gain a firm foothold there.

However, it seemed that for now, her goal was only Tan Mo’s starting point.

It was something that Tan Mo didn’t have to work hard for and was born with.

“Did you hear that?” Meng Yuxi laughed sarcastically. “Think less about nonsensical things.”

Tan Mo took out new clothes from the dresser and got on her bed.

She pulled the curtains that hung from above her bed closed and changed into the new set of clothes behind the curtains.

She then sent a message to Qin Muye.

Qin Muye replied, “I am still on the way to school.”

Tan Mo asked, “?? Didn’t you return to school last night?”

Qin Muye replied, “Last night you delivered dinner to brother Zhiqian. Ah-Qing and I had nothing to do, so we went to the escape room game that you mentioned after dinner.”

Tan Mo was shocked. “!!! Which did you play? How could you not wait for me?”

Qin Muye said, “It was the horror-themed room that you mentioned. We had agreed to go together if it wasn’t the horror theme. Of course, we wouldn’t go without you.”

Tan Mo asked, “How did it feel playing the horror-themed escape room?”

Qin Muye replied, “I think it was okay.”

Tan Mo asked, “Since when did you get so brave?”

Tan Mo was shocked.

Qin Muye replied, “Actually, it was because Ah-Qing was there. I didn’t know how he did it, but not a single NPC came over to scare me while I heard the other teammates screaming. But the atmosphere was quite scary and realistic.”

Tan Mo wasn’t surprised.

No wonder Qin Muye was not scared.

She also did not get the full experience.

Qin Muye added, “When we finished playing last night, it was quite late. We figured even if we returned to school, the dormitory would be locked. So, we went back to our homes. It was just that we had to wake up earlier today.”

After Qin Muye hit the send button, she yawned. She was so tired that tears squeezed out from the corner of her eyes.

As Qin Muye was still on the way, so Tan Mo went to class alone.

After her first two classes ended, President Mu called her to his office.

“Tan Mo, I called you here to discuss with you the matter of recruiting students this semester.” President Mu had Tan Mo sit down opposite him.

“Discuss with me?” Tan Mo blinked. She had a confused expression.

“The college entrance examination results are out today, but the students have yet to fill in the form to select their school. We want to make use of the time before the students fill in the form and quickly contact the top scorers of each province and invite them to enroll in our school.”

“All the schools are keeping an eye on the top scorers of each province,” President Mu said. “Our school will send teachers to have a look in each province and see if they can first reserve these students.”

“Will you not go personally this time?” Tan Mo asked. “If you personally go, there will be a hundred percent success rate.”

“There is only one of me, and I am not able to split myself up,” President Mu explained with a smile. “Although the results of the top scorers of each province were not bad, there was no one who was especially eye-catching like you.”

“Having a perfect score at 15 years old had the principals of five of the schools inviting you personally. Only you had this treatment,” President Mu said. “That means, if they do not reach your standard, the principals will not personally invite the student.”

“The age to take the college entrance examination was normal, and the examination scores were normal. None of the top scorers this year had a perfect score. No student was way above the rest. As everyone had about the same score, if I invite someone, others would not be convinced.”

“Thus, I will not go as I did in previous years. I will send teachers from the school and some school administrators to go,” President Mu explained. “The school administrators will be sent to the more important places.

“After so many years, I only personally invited a student once, which was for you, and have never done so other times. It was usually our teachers who went to recruit students from different provinces. For students who had exceptional scores, a school administrator would bring a team and a few of our students.

“I asked you over this time to ask you to go to Jiaoyuan City with Professor Yao from the Department of Mathematics,” President Mu said. “Both of the top scorers of arts and sciences are in Jiaoyuan City. The top scorer for science had full marks for mathematics and was outstanding. Professor Yao is adamant about getting the student. Our school’s arts department is also quite interested in the top scorer for arts. The Department of History and Department of Chinese Literature decided on the teachers and students for the recruitment team. The Department of Finance will also send a student over.”

“The Department of Finance is also interested?” Tan Mo had always felt that the Department of Finance was quite calm.

The Department of Finance usually did not fight over students with other departments.

“Not exactly, they only assigned a student to help out.” President Mu understood Tan Mo’s expression immediately.

Tan Mo remained silent.

That made sense.

President Mu was surprised.

Was the Department of Finance so unmotivated in her eyes?

“However, since the Department of Mathematics is adamant, there is not much use for me to go.” Tan Mo could understand why President Mu wanted her to go.

She could also be considered as a symbol of Beijing University.

If Beijing University was mentioned, people would recall Tan Mo.

If she were to go, she would add some points.

“However, I am at most little known in the Department of History and the Department of Chinese Literature. I am not that relevant if the Department of Mathematics wants to recruit students.” Besides, the Department of Mathematics might not be impressed by her.

“Isn’t there also the Department of History and the Department of Chinese Literature? The Department of Mathematics wants to recruit the top scorer for sciences. Isn’t the top scorer for arts left? The Department of History and the Department of Chinese Literature would certainly want to extend an invitation. Moreover, even if the student does not want to go to either of these departments, it is alright for the student to learn other subjects. Anyway, your reputation in the aspect of arts will be of use.”

“Moreover…” President Mu revealed a smile that Tan Mo would describe as sly. “Other people do not know, but I feel that since you are well-versed in the Department of Aerospace Engineering, your mathematics should not be poor.”

“Although you did not perform in terms of mathematics, I believe in your ability,” President Mu said with a smile. “Hua University would also like to recruit the top scorer for sciences from Jiaoyuan. We will certainly be against them.”

“You know the temper of those people from Hua University,” President Mu said. “If we fight again, you will be a great source of combat power!”
