163. The tree of Ewha Mountain

In many universities in the country, for many years, the last month of the semester usually permeated the campus with a tragic atmosphere of bleakness and cold.

To describe it in five words, it is called "cramming Buddha's feet". To describe it in four words, it is called "forcing Liangshan".

To use the previous traditional classical phrase to describe it, it is called "the boundless test paper is Xiao Xiao, and the endless make-up examination is rolling".

For the majority of college students, they can usually be free to relax, eat, drink and have fun, but if they don't study hard at the end of the semester, it means that a catastrophe is coming. If you have a lot of subjects to take the make-up exam in the coming year, you won't even be able to get a graduation certificate in the future, and you can only get a certificate of completion. If the situation of "hanging a red light" is serious, it will be ruthlessly dissuaded by the school.

No college student dares to slack off in the final month of the semester, unless he wants to deliberately "moth to the fire and surpass bliss".

But this year's atmosphere seems to be a bit unusual, at least at Xiannan University of Technology. Obviously, I took the exam recently, but the atmosphere on campus is more relaxed and casual overall.

Since the 17th week of the temporary shutdown of the city warfare system by Noah, the flow of people who go to the library and classroom area for night self-study has become sparse. It seems that many people do not seem to be worried about the so-called "final exam".

Perhaps this is due to the popularity of Magic High School, a popular online game on college campuses. This game is quietly digging into the students' usual self-learning learning ability, guiding them to finish the official standard textbooks issued by the school one step earlier.

This game constantly stimulates some of the students' hearts, so that they often "want and want". In other words, it is to deliberately create a virtual environment of "people are more angry than others" among students. Here, the purpose of self-study is no longer to prepare for the final school exams, but to have some "personal pride" in the game world.

For example, our classmate Yao Yayao is such a person who was "led into the urn". The continuous personal progress in the game world, as well as the brilliance of the stars during the city war, has allowed him to enjoy a lot of active learning happiness in the past few months.

As long as you are willing to pay sincerely, the short-term and immediate benefits in the game world can be felt personally.

In order to get through the copy of the "Colorful Tower", the "Yellow Tower" in it was through to the last 100 levels, and in the 18th and 19th weeks, Yao Yayao even finished self-study in advance of several official textbooks for the next semester. And he finally got what he wanted, relying on the professional strength of these books, and became the second first-level gamer in the game world to successfully clear the 100 level.

Now, the name of "Shu Deqi" hangs high on the top list of the "Yellow Tower". According to the amusing saying in the school, he is now the freshman in the school, "The yellowest person, from head to toe, is very yellow." ”

Today is the Monday of the 20th week.

At eight o'clock in the morning, there was a unified final exam for freshmen, which was "College Foreign Language Volume 1". For Yao Yayao, this exam is as simple as drinking a glass of boiled water.

In the game world, he even passed the test of the sixth book, and now he has to deal with a book interview paper of the first book, which is a matter of more than 20 minutes.

In order not to be so noticeable, Yao Yayao suffered in the examination room for more than an hour before slowly handing in the papers. Associate Professor Qian gave him a set of science fiction trilogy of "Three Rests", in which the "Law of the Dark Jungle" philosophical metaphor of life has always been remembered by him.

Voluntarily becoming a turtle with a shrunken head is actually an excellent means of self-defense and concealment. "Shooting a bird in the head" is a very common phenomenon in today's society.

No matter where you are, if you accidentally show your figure, sometimes it will inevitably attract a cold arrow attack from behind.

Yao Yayao is very grateful to his two roommates, Pang Zi and Huang Jie. These two people are very talkative about buddy righteousness and tight-mouthed.

The two of them, who also agree with the "law of the dark jungle", have been tight-lipped in order to help Yao Yayao hide his mysterious identity in the game world. So much so that even the classmates in the dormitory next door didn't know that the famous "Shudeqi" in the game world was actually hidden by their side.

In the past few weeks, Yao Yayao has almost been exposed.

After the suspension of the city warfare system, students who have always loved PK began to become popular with "dormitory PK war". Specifically, four students in the same dormitory formed a small mercenary team in the game world, and then fought against each other with the four-person group in other dormitories.

These mercenary groups basically have their own names based on the dormitory number. For example, in the 215 dormitory next door to Yao Yayao, its four-person mercenary team is named "33215", which means dormitory 215 on the 3rd floor of Building 3.

This kind of PK match between each bedroom often has a little bit of color. The most common is 10 in a game, around 20 coins.

In order to prevent Yao Yayao from being exposed on the spot, Pang Zi and Huang Jie, on the grounds that there were only 3 people in dormitory 216 and could not be beaten, repeatedly refused the many provocations in the neighboring dormitories.

Yao Yayao's dormitory 216 is a bit special, and his shadow roommate Li Xiaogang occupies a bed, but he never shows up here.

Pang Zi and Huang Jie actually understand very well that Yao Yayao's personal level is too high. Even if there are only 3 of them, they may not lose against 4 people in the other dormitories. However, in order to help Yao Yayao keep his little secret, they pretended to be stupid many times and never accepted the war letters from other dormitories.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, there was another final exam for a certain subject, but Yao Yayao was not worried at all. As a top student, you never have to worry about exams.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Yao Yayao was in his 216 dormitory, casually playing his own games. Naturally, it's the familiar "Magic High School".

In the game world, he was on an ethereal mountain outside the city of Xiagonda at this time. The name of this mountain is Ewha Mountain.

Ewhasan is located at a distance from the campus city of Xiagonda. Yao Yayao destroyed more than a hundred zombies blocking the way along the way, and avoided some higher-level zombies. It took about half an hour to reach the mountain.

Once within the range of the mountain, no zombies appeared. Perhaps, this mountain has some magical power or something.

Yao Yayao came here to complete a long-term daily task. This quest can only be done once a week, and the process is to help a pear blossom tree water, fertilize, exterminate insects, etc., and you can get 100 experience points at a time.

100 XP is insignificant. The current Yao Yayao's level is level 28, and he needs more than 30,000 experience points to be able to upgrade to level 29.

Yao Yayao was willing to spend more than half an hour for 100 experience points, just because this pear blossom tree was not simple at all.

This tree represents his class and has an exclusive NPC name called "Civil 202303". At present, it is just a small and inconspicuous sapling, only a foot tall. Although Yao Yayao has come to water it many times for more than two months, it has grown slowly.

This watering task can only be done after the personal level reaches level 25. Except for Yao Yayao, most of the other students in the class did not even have the qualifications to water it at this time.

The mountain of Ewha Mountain presents a typical layered terraced topography. However, there are only a variety of pear blossom trees planted here, and the flowers are pink or white, but they are all pear blossom trees.

Each pear blossom tree has a name, and each tree represents a specific class in a particular department of the university. For example, Yao Yayao's fellow brother Zheng Yong's class, the exclusive pear blossom tree on this mountain is called "Financial 202101". That one has already stretched out its body and body, and all kinds of flowers are blooming brilliantly.

Different grades of pear blossom trees have different distribution areas on this mountain, and each has its own territory. The further you go to the top of the mountain, the more the pear blossom trees above tend to be, with lush branches and leaves. They represent the relics of the cultivation activities of each class of brothers and sisters who are in school or have left school in the game world.

After coming over a few times, Yao Yayao quickly understood the purpose of Noah's design of this pear blossom mountain. Perhaps, they are deliberately creating a warm virtual place where all students in our school can feel nostalgic for their alma mater.

In the real campus, there is not so much land that can allow every class to cultivate a tree. However, in the gaming world, this problem is not difficult to solve.

After watering the small sapling of the "Civil Engineering 202303", Yao Yayao stayed around the neighborhood idly, wandering casually, visiting the saplings of the other classes of the school's senior brothers and sisters. They have different growth states and different shapes.

It was around 11 o'clock in the morning, and the two roommates, Pang Zi and Huang Jie, had not yet returned. They also have a mid-term exam for a subject at 10 o'clock.

Yao Yayao's game character, "Book Qi" walks around on Lihua Mountain, enjoying the beautiful scenery on the mountain, casual and relaxed. However, in front of the computer screen, he was a little anxious.

Because, at 12 o'clock before noon, according to Noah's original notice, they will announce the shortlist of 100 short-term interns during the winter vacation.

Yao Yayao very hopes, even desires, that he can be shortlisted.

During the summer vacation when he came to college, he worked hard for almost two months of summer work, and he only got a total of more than 4,000 yuan. Noah's winter vacation work for a month can get a minimum of 6,000 yuan. This is clearly a gluttonous fat shortage.

Yao Yayao stopped playing the game and let his game characters return to the inner city of Xiagonda through the "Return to the City Scroll".

Yao Yayao knew that the general manager and chairman and CEO of Noah's company, whose name was Bu Possibility, was a previous senior brother of this school. At the beginning of the school year, he was in the apartment of Counselor Fan Zhi, and he had a relationship with him.

Yao Yayao took out the business card that he might have given him in the first place from his drawer, a copy of "A Song of Ice and Fire". He remembered that the senior brother once said that he was welcome to come to his company for an internship during the winter vacation.

However, maybe they were just polite at first. Perhaps, he had forgotten who he was.

Yao Yayao muttered in his heart, if he is shortlisted in the list and does not see his name, then should he be cheeky and give this step to the senior brother and walk down the back door?

Will people still admit it?

Holding this business card in his hand, he stared back and forth for a long time. Then, Yao Yayao casually opened the official website of Noah.

Hey, there's prominent text and small picture tips on the homepage:

"Noah's holiday intern recruitment has been shortlisted for a total of 100 places, and the glory is the latest announcement!"
