Chapter 704: Chapter 411: The Most Unique Student (Seeking Subscription)_2

At Lv1, there wasn’t much "black tech", and even research was hard to start.

After reaching Lv2, Ding Yue’s Mist City Arts and Science University has developed to a considerable extent. In terms of technology fields, it’s laying claims to the top ranks in the entirety of Mist City, though its overall strength is still a little behind.

The key point is that, at Lv2, there was already an emergence of slightly black technologies.

Ding Yue can imagine, after being promoted to Lv3, he would acquire even more insights and technologies from the dark tech realm.

Then Mist City Arts and Science University could strive for an important goal: to wield influence and hold societal standing on par with the nation’s leading institutions, and all this as a privately-run university.

Of course.

Ding Yue could well imagine this process might take many years, but it falls within his expectations.

Ding Yue’s goal is to establish a well-structured university system within four years, for, that’s the time needed to enroll students across four grades of undergraduates.

Then comes the six years from the fourth to the tenth year. Within this period, Ding Yue prepares to rank Mist City Arts and Science University among the nation’s top-notch institutions by using his system.

At that point, a miracle may be created.

It would be the only privately-run university nationwide that could compete with the Double First-Class University!

"Actually, it’s almost there."

Ding Xiaoyou responds calmly.

"How far is ’almost there’? Can you give a percentage?" Ding Yue can hardly guess how much his sister means by ’almost there’.

After all, this girl is now a super-genius and scholarly prodigy; her perception of ’almost there’ may not align with Ding Yue’s understanding. A percentage would describe it better.

"About eighty-five percent," Ding Xiaoyou mumbles.

"My little sister is incredible," Hearing this, Ding Yue immediately gives his sister a thumbs-up: "So we can produce the graphene battery next semester?"

This is faster than Ding Yue initially thought.

Although his sister Ding Xiaoyou’s chemical energy project [Graphene Battery Technology] is simpler than the photolithography machine, it indeed is an epoch-making technology in the field of energy batteries. Ding Yue initially thought it would take his sister at least half a year.

Now adding up the research on graphene mechanical stripping preparation machine, wouldn’t it still amount to roughly half a year?

"Yep."

Ding Xiaoyou nods and then speaks, "After the new year, I will sort out some techniques. You should apply for the patents as soon as possible."

"No problem!"

Ding Yue gives an OK sign.

As the principal of Mist City Arts and Science University, the thing Ding Yue most enjoys is applying for patents.

The more patents that Mist City Arts and Science University applies for, the more powerful it becomes.

"Yue, won’t you prepare a New Year’s speech for New Year’s Eve?" Eating New Year’s Eve dinner, Huang riles up Ding Yue to prepare a New Year’s speech.

"A New Year’s speech? I’ve planned for one, but it’s for the gymnasium later on."

Ding Yue bursts into laughter: "But since it’s just us here, shall I just say a few words?"

Upon observing Ding Yue ready to speak, everyone present raises their glass filled with wine or fruit juice. The atmosphere is quite harmonious.

"This year, what I want to say most is, everyone has worked hard. The achievements of Mist City Arts and Science University are quite significant in this year. I hope we’ll make further strides next year. A toast to the New Year!"

Ding Yue actually kept it short.

Staff and students of Mist City Arts and Science University sitting around the dining table all stand up and shout with Principal Ding: "A toast to the New Year!"

After finishing the New Year’s Eve dinner, not much time was left before the Spring Festival Gala started.

Most of the students have already reached the gymnasium and orderly chose their seats. The logistics department staff have completed all the preparations, and the gymnasium interior has been decorated with the festive spirit of the New Year.

The most important thing is that four enormous electronic screens are at the center of the gymnasium. Just like the screens used for watching eSports, faces are turned in four directions. Everyone can watch freely.

This equipment was actually provided by the eSports Academy.

"This is the first time I’m not spending the New Year at home. The first time experiencing this kind of atmosphere, it feels quite good."

"Spending New Year’s Eve and the Spring Festival with classmates on campus, just thinking about it feels a little exciting."

"Wow, four big screens. So, no matter where we sit, we’ll be able to watch the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Wondering when our school’s art student Lin Zhirou will perform."

"Why did you guys not go home for the New Year?"

"I just didn’t want to go back."

"I saw some students and Principal Ding celebrating New Year at the school last year, so I also wanted to experience it."

"Same here."

While the students were chatting casually, members of the student union and support staff who stayed at the university started bringing in lots of snacks and fruits like apples and sugarcane.

"Students, pass these around. Everyone take a share. Tonight we are all here to watch the Spring Festival Gala and have fun. These are all provided by Principal Ding."

A logistic staff member who was in charge of distributing these snacks and fruits shouted to the students.

"Oh wow, there’s food too?"

"Isn’t this too awesome?"

"Wow, Principal Ding is really thoughtful."

"I’m already tearing up."

"Eating sunflower seeds, munching on fruits and snacks, and watching the Spring Festival Gala with everyone, this experience is simply amazing, it will become one of the most beautiful memories in my life."

The students were overjoyed at the fact that Principal Ding had prepared snacks and fruits for everyone.

Many students already started taking photos with their cellphones and posting on Twitter.

Perhaps only Mist City Arts and Science University can manage to gather a couple thousand people to celebrate New Year on campus.

Over at the second cafeteria.

After leaving the cafeteria, Ding Yue, his family, and friends prepared to head towards the gymnasium.

"Mom and dad, we are organizing everyone to watch the Spring Festival Gala at the gymnasium tonight. Do you want to come?"

Ding Yue asked his parents if they wanted to go to the gymnasium.

"Oh, we won’t go and crowd around, it’s all young people." His father, Ding Jianjun, shook his head.

His mother, Zhang Yuping, also agreed saying: "Mmm, it’s fine. We will watch the Spring Festival Gala at home."

Seeing that his parents didn’t seem very keen on going, Ding Yue nodded and said, "Alright, it’s fine if you two watch it at home."

Then, Ding Yue turned to his sister Ding Xiaoyou, "How about you? Do you want to come?"

"Why not? I’m also a student of Mist City Arts and Science University." Ding Xiaoyou rolled her eyes at her brother; asking her this question was pointless.

"Alright, let’s go to the gymnasium." Ding Yue called out to the people behind him, cheerfully chatting along the way to the gymnasium.

At the gymnasium, Huang Youjie had already arranged for a special area with the logistics department in advance.

This special area was naturally set aside for Principal Ding and other leaders of the school.

In fact, this special area was not that special, it was not much different from where the students sat.

At this moment, Mist City Arts and Science University students all over the country were browsing their classmates’ Twitter, envying the New Year’s Eve event held by the school while preparing to watch the Spring Festival Gala with their families on time.

But one student from Mist City Arts and Science University was a little bit different.

That was Lin Zhirou, a student in the Art Department of Mist City Arts and Science University. She was the only student who didn’t go home, didn’t stay on campus, and didn’t have a New Year’s Eve dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala with her friends and relatives.

But she was also a pride of Mist City Arts and Science University tonight.

Because Lin Zhirou was the first student from Mist City Arts and Science University to perform at the NTS Spring Festival Gala.

At this point, Lin Zhirou was outside the broadcast hall number 1 of the NTS. Under the orderly arrangement of the director, she was already prepared for her final preparations.
