Chapter 29: Life is a multiple-choice question
"At that time, they also promised that my son, that is, Mu Yun's father, could go to the National Defense University of China.
"At that time, our family was so happy that we agreed without even thinking about it.
"So your father went to the National Defense University of China, and he also applied for a very strange major, which seems to be called cultural relics and archaeology......"
"Specialized in Antiquities and Museums. Professor Gu added.
"Yes, yes, that's it!" the old man nodded.
"At the time, we didn't know what the use of studying this major would be, but your father said that after graduation, he could become a history teacher, or go to a museum as a civil servant, and if he mixed well, he might even go to work in the Forbidden City. Either way, it's an iron rice bowl...... Seeing that he was right, your grandmother and I agreed. ”
"As a result, after graduation, your father became a professor at the National Defense University of China, and it is quite face-saving to say it.
"But I don't know why, when people are professors, he also becomes professors, but he has to run out twice in three days when he is a professor!
"Either we go to the Gobi Desert in the northwest, or we go all over the world to Egypt, Brazil, Indonesia and other countries......
"The result? I haven't made a lot of money, so let's not talk about it. Run, run, run to the end, there was a car accident in the field, and the person was directly gone!"
The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and he squirted out a few drops of spittle.
After a pause, the old man's expression became gloomy, and he said slowly, "...... What kind of cultural relics major do you say?
"He ran around the world like this, did he actually engage in tomb robbery?
"In the end, didn't you stir up something bad in the tomb,
"Cursed by mummies, zombies or something, so there will be no talent?"
When the old man said this, everyone was silent.
Teacher Song and Professor Gu exchanged glances with complicated expressions.
Professor Gu said cautiously and hesitantly: "Mr. Mu, we also feel very sorry for the accident of Muyun's parents.
"And I also understand your feelings, because I used to teach Mu Yun's parents back then, and the two of them are not one of my favorite students. ”
The old man turned his head and did not look at him, nor did he say anything.
So Professor Gu continued: "However, life is a choice, and choosing different paths at unknown intersections may lead to different endings.
"This opportunity we provide is also a choice for Mu Yun, maybe he will become a lucky person, maybe he will become an adventurer, maybe he will become a sufferer.
"But no matter what, I hope you don't just give up as soon as you come up. ”
After the old man was silent for a long time, he suddenly stood up and walked straight to the door.
Mu Yun was stunned for a moment, and shouted at him: "Hey, where are you going?
"You're a young man, so you can make your own choice!" the other party didn't look back, and walked down the stairs with a pummer, "The rain has stopped, the wind has ended, and I'm going to go out and get in the ingredients." ”
Everyone looked at each other.
At this time, it was Teacher Song who broke the silence: "This, Mu Yun ......"
"Wait. Mu Yun interrupted.
It wasn't until he couldn't hear the footsteps and was sure that the old man had gone away that he said, "What do you just mean? What is the matter with the National Defense University of China?"
"Mu Yun, I know you may be feeling a little foggy right now," Professor Gu said.
"However, the National Defense University of China is real, and independent enrollment is also true. It's also true that your mom and dad used to be my students and later became my colleagues. But the next part that we're going to tell you about contains a lot of facts that are kept secret from most ordinary people, and that's what we're really here for. ”
"Truly ...... Purpose?" Mu Yun repeated.
"First of all, the China National Defense University is not an ordinary university, not only because it is a national defense university, but also because it has a special campus. Professor Gu said, "This campus is not open to ordinary teachers and students, but every year through various forms, half-demon students from all over the country are recruited. ”
"A monster university, as I thought. Mu Yun said.
"That's right, we can't say these things to your grandfather, because our files show that your grandfather is an ordinary person, and your father's demon blood is inherited from your grandmother. ”
"Wait a minute, you mean... My grandmother, my father, my mother, and me, this family is almost all half-demons," Mu Yun stroked his forehead back and forth, "But my grandfather still doesn't know about the half-demon world?!"
"We don't know if he knows or not," Professor Gu shrugged, "according to the process, we still have to keep it a secret, but you can ask him separately then." ”
"Well, then again, I don't seem to have the freedom to choose, do I? A half-demon like me, no matter what, can only choose to go to your school. ”
"Don't worry, and don't think of it as a concentration camp just yet. Professor Gu said with a smile, "As we all know, the National Defense University of China has always been among the best in the national university rankings, and normal students basically have no worries about a way out after graduation." The half-demon students will also get a diploma from a prestigious university. ”
"Moreover, after you graduate, you can also choose to return to the society of ordinary people, like Mr. Song is now an ordinary middle school teacher, isn't he?"
Mu Yun looked at Teacher Song, and the two of them glanced at each other.
"Not only that, but we also offer generous scholarships to every half-demon student. Each person will receive a fixed subsidy of 10,000 yuan per month. ”
"There are so many subsidies?!" Mu Yun's eyes widened and he swallowed.
"Yes, and if you do well in school, there are all sorts of ways to get extra bonuses. ”
"Professor, this year's monthly allowance for freshmen has been raised to 30,000 yuan per person, and a new entrance scholarship for freshmen has been added. According to the gradient, the higher the level of the demon species, the more bonuses...... If you are at the S level, you can get a one-time scholarship of 500,000 yuan as long as you enroll. ”
500,000 !!
The moment Mu Yun heard this number, he felt that his whole heart was about to jump out.
"Oh oh, it's up, I'm not paying much attention to this, so sorry for the message lag a bit. Professor Gu touched the beard on his chin, "But it does have to be adjusted, after all, the situation has changed this year, and it is different from usual." ”
"What is ...... Has the situation changed?" asked Mu Yun.
"You were attacked by a cat demon the night before yesterday, right?" Professor Gu said, "Actually, not only you, but many other students of the A race level or above have been attacked. ”
"So...... Do you know who did it?"
Professor Gu nodded, his expression serious: "Although the evidence has not yet been confirmed, it is already close to ten, and it was done by an organization called 'Shadow'." ”
