Chapter 1638: Chapter 863: Welcome Party

It’s another season for freshmen registration.

Xu Bing honestly didn’t expect that his first day meeting new students at school would unexpectedly make him famous, with netizens affectionately dubbing him "Xia Country’s best principal."

A few years ago, Xu Bing had another title praised by netizens—Xia Country’s most handsome principal.

Okay.

This time, he’s become Xia Country’s most handsome and best principal.

Over the next few days, Xu Bing continued to meet new students on campus every day, just like the first day. Xu Bing is not the type of school leader who just puts on a show.

Besides, Xu Bing had no need to pretend, because he couldn’t stay idle at school anyway.

And especially during such an important moment as freshmen registration, could he afford to take it easy?

At first, when Xu Bing went viral online for welcoming new students, some netizens speculated that this Principal Xu was just putting on a show and deliberately buying trending spots or something.

Goodness, with Xu Bing and Mist City Arts and Science University naturally attracting top tier attention, do they even need to buy trending spots?

In recent years, whenever Mist City Arts and Science University and Xu Bing have trended, it’s always been thanks to netizens pushing the heat themselves.

Even the promotion of some film works by Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group didn’t rely on buying trending spots for publicity; they generated a lot of buzz on their own.

Now, with Xu Bing still welcoming new students at school every day, isn’t he just fiercely slapping those netizens in the face?

In five days of freshmen registration, Mist City Arts and Science University enrolled a total of 173,924 students, and together, the university’s total student population exceeded 300,000.

It has clearly become the university with the largest number of students in Xia Country.

"We’ve recruited so many new students again this year; our Mist City Arts and Science University is truly thriving, hahahaha."

After freshmen registration ended, Huang looked at the flourishing Mist City Arts and Science University and spoke excitedly.

"It is quite a lot, but even with more freshmen, Mist City Arts and Science University can cultivate talent," Xu Bing confidently said.

"That’s not certain, brother Yue. Now, doesn’t Mist City Arts and Science University have over 300,000 freshmen right? The campus is basically running at full capacity. If the south campus isn’t finished by next year, what’ll happen to the new freshmen then?"

Huang Youjie raised this question.

"Indeed, brother Yue, next year’s freshmen will likely be tens of thousands again, and things will become overwhelming," Xu Bin said the same.

Xu Bing had considered this too.

After all, despite Mist City Arts and Science University having over 7,000 acres, excellent teaching facilities and equipment, and enough dormitory buildings, one grade being tens of thousands of students—who can handle that?

"Ahem."

Xu Bing cleared his throat lightly and then looked at Xu Bin and said: "That’s right, so Bin, you guys in the computer science department need to put in some effort."

"Um huh? I’m just saying, what does this have to do with our computer science department?"

Xu Bin looked at Xu Bing in bewilderment.

Goodness, Xu Bin couldn’t figure out how Mist City Arts and Science University having too many freshmen was related to the computer science department.

"Bin, if our Metaverse Plan comes together, we could create Mist City Arts and Science University within the Metaverse. Then, our students can attend classes and learn in the Metaverse version of Mist City Arts and Science University. Wouldn’t that save a lot of teaching space and resources? At that point, Mist City Arts and Science University can enroll as many students as it wants."

Xu Bing shrugged, calmly saying to Xu Bin.

Upon hearing this, Xu Bin and Huang Youjie thought, goodness, brother Yue’s logic seems to make sense. If the Metaverse can really be built, why be concerned about inadequate campuses or teaching infrastructure?

In the Metaverse, you can create all of this virtually.

Even if the Metaverse technology isn’t sufficiently mature, as long as virtual reality technology is mature, this approach is already feasible. Haven’t online courses flourished with mature internet technology?

"That’s right, within the Metaverse, isn’t anything you want available?"

Huang Youjie exclaimed excitedly.

"Wishful thinking, wanting anything just like that! The Metaverse isn’t as simple as you think; it’s not like anything can be conjured up just because you want it."

Xu Bin glared at Huang, then looked at Xu Bing and said: "Brother Yue, I understand what you mean. You’re hoping we can finish the 3-nanometer chip soon, so we can accelerate the Metaverse Plan, right?"

"Exactly."

Xu Bing nodded. "Time seems tight, but we can’t put too much pressure on you. By this time next year, the south campus will certainly be completed, and then it can help with handling the number of freshmen. So, calculating it this way, combining the north and south campuses shouldn’t be too problematic."

"I think so too, after all, hasn’t the south campus had so much money invested into it."

Huang Youjie agreed.

Once the south campus is built, even with tens of thousands of freshmen each year, the combined capacity of the north and south campuses shouldn’t pose too big of a problem.
