Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Choosing Imperial Capital University

Although Leng Yuchen said he could definitely do it, Shi Yiqing still felt uneasy at heart.

She looked at him nervously, "I will try my best to do it."

Leng Yuchen’s lips curved up in satisfaction, and he leaned in close to her ear to reveal his purpose.

"You just have to do this..."

After Shi Yiqing listened, she widened her eyes in disbelief, "Brother Yuchen?"

"Are you unwilling?" His eyebrows furrowed, a hint of coldness hidden in his eyes.

Shi Yiqing quickly explained, "It’s not that I’m unwilling, I, I just..."

Leng Yuchen raised his hand and pressed the tip of his finger to her lips, his tone indulgent, "Since you’re willing, just do as I say, alright?"

Shi Yiqing nodded hesitantly.

...

What Leng Yuchen said to Shi Yiqing, Shi Yaoguang didn’t know.

However, she was very clear about their meeting.

Just because she didn’t take the initiative to interfere in the matters between Shi Yiqing and Leng Yuchen, that didn’t mean Shi Yiqing wouldn’t come to provoke her.

That day.

Shi Yaoguang went to the school as promised.

After her results came out, many people flocked to Ruihe High School, hoping that Shi Yaoguang would choose their school.

Shi Yaoguang hadn’t made her choice immediately, primarily because she was still unsure of her ultimate direction.

Having experienced many worlds, she was well-versed in skills from various areas, if not completely masterful.

In such a situation, making a choice was not a challenge for her.

Thus, she hesitated.

Whether to stay in Mingzhu City or to go to Imperial Capital.

Without a doubt, the country’s most prestigious educational institutions were in Imperial Capital.

The rivalry between the top two schools in Imperial Capital was no secret.

And now, as soon as the heads of the two universities saw Shi Yaoguang, they excitedly began to speak, each trying to recruit her for their own.

"Student Shi Yaoguang, our Imperial Capital University has the most top-notch teaching resources, laboratories, and endless funding..."

"Miss Shi, don’t listen to his nonsense, our Shuimu University also has excellent conditions, ensuring that you will be overjoyed..."

"You old coot, studying is for learning knowledge, what’s this overjoyed business? Miss Shi, don’t listen to him, this man is not serious, don’t be fooled by him."

"You are the trickster! Miss Shi is a genius, can she be as vulgar as you?" he said, his old face blossoming into a chrysanthemum, "Our school values tailored education, guaranteeing to make you feel right at home..."

"Miss Shi, please give it some thought..."

Inside the headmaster’s office, a group of admissions officers stood by, watching as the teachers from the two major universities of Imperial Capital argued nonstop.

They were feeling disheartened.

Alas, this competitiveness.

They couldn’t compete.

Among those who had not yet started but had already seen the situation clearly and were preparing to give up, there was an exception.

The newcomer was a middle-aged male teacher sporting a U-shaped bald spot and a protruding belly.

He rubbed his hands together with a very down-to-earth air and began, "Well, in terms of hard conditions, we from Mingzhu University indeed can’t compete with you, but there is one point where you certainly can’t match us!"

Imperial Capital University teacher: "???"

Shuimu University teacher: "???"

Both felt their authority was being challenged.

The Mingzhu University admissions teacher went on, "Think about it, what ground are we standing on?"

After saying this, he slapped his belly proudly, "This is Mingzhu City, ah!"

"Do you guys think there’s anything better than being comfortable on your own turf?"

With a snicker, he said, very ingratiatingly, "And if needed, we can even offer Shi Yaoguang a villa right here on campus! We guarantee that Shi Yaoguang will feel at home at school, with not the slightest bit of restraint."

Imperial Capital University teacher: "Shameless!"

Shuimu University teacher: "Beast!"

This teacher from Mingzhu University, to recruit students, had really lost all sense of shame!

Blatantly talking about offering a villa to make the student feel at home at school.

It’s outright cheating!

But then again, they could make the same offer.

Teachers from Imperial Capital University said with even more confidence, "Shi Yaoguang, our laboratories are famously well-equipped—a point Shuimu University can’t match. Why don’t you consider it carefully?"

"Don’t believe the Mingzhu University teacher when they say they can give you a villa, how vulgar is that? Besides, Shi Yaoguang, one look at you and everyone can tell you’re not short of money. You already have your home in Mingzhu City, so why would you need to make Mingzhu University your home? That’s just nonsense."

"While it makes sense to settle down in the same city, it pales in comparison to coming to our Imperial Capital University. We have excellent accommodations—most notably, the villa community in our labs. If you get tired from experimenting, you can rest right there—"

This Imperial Capital University teacher was just chattering away.

Spitting words like a machine gun, as if he had a gum-chewing motor mouth, he simply couldn’t stop.

Meanwhile, the teacher from Shuimu University tried to interject several times but failed to break in.

In the end, they were all defeated by the Imperial Capital University teacher’s relentless babble.

After nearly half an hour of non-stop talking, Shi Yaoguang made her final choice.

Imperial Capital University.

Though the efforts of the recruitment teachers had an effect, what she valued more was a certain experiment within Imperial Capital University.

She hadn’t thought of it until the recruitment teacher mentioned it inadvertently.

Others were unaware of this project, thus oblivious to its significance.

But Shi Yaoguang knew.

In her previous life, this experiment at Imperial Capital University hadn’t been successful.

Or rather, it nearly succeeded but ultimately failed.

The experiment encountered issues partway through, and it wasn’t easy to say what exactly went wrong.

The final outcome led to a laboratory explosion, with heavy casualties.

Since this wasn’t the main plot, Shi Yaoguang didn’t know the specifics of the accident.

She might not have thought about it before, but now that she had, naturally, she couldn’t just stand by.

Once she arrived at Imperial Capital University, she would have to get to the bottom of it.

...

The reason for Shi Yaoguang’s choice of Imperial Capital University was known only to her.

However, that didn’t stop the teachers from Imperial Capital University from gloating.

After getting a positive answer from Shi Yaoguang, he couldn’t contain his glee as he bowed to his colleagues, "Gentlemen, I appreciate your concessions!"

After speaking, he couldn’t help but burst into a proud laugh.

The teacher from Shuimu University turned green listening to his cackling laughter.

Beside him, the Mingzhu University teacher patted his shoulder, sighing, "We are all in the same boat of misfortune."

The Shuimu University teacher shot him a glance, "Who’s in the same boat as you?"

The Mingzhu University teacher chuckled sheepishly, "Don’t be so quick to deny it; fundamentally, we’re not that different."

"Pah!" The Shuimu University teacher was about to reply when he was shut down by the other’s comeback, "No matter how high and mighty, don’t we end up the same way?"

Shuimu University teacher: "..."

Damn!!

Shi Yaoguang’s decision soon became common knowledge.
