The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 397: First Visit to the Academy (I)

On top of the green hills is the famous National Academy.

Although the imperial court had other ideas about the National Academy, it could not erase its status as a holy place for building the Tao since the Honghu Project.

This can be seen from the fact that the seminary was eventually established in the National Academy.

The National Academy is very lively today.

Not only are there two hundred Jinshi students enrolled this year, but there are also students from the Honghu Project and students from the previous year who have not yet graduated. Because of the imperial examination, these old classmates have been on leave for half a month, and today is also the day they return to the academy to resume classes.

As soon as Liu Sheng entered the gate of the National Academy, he saw students everywhere.

The students of the National Academy all wore green clothes, but judging by the patterns on their sleeves, they were divided into different levels.

Liu Sheng had heard a little about this. He knew that when students entered school, they were divided into upper, middle and lower dormitories according to their grades, and then there was an exam every month, which served as the basis for promotion.

[Same as Qixuan Academy. ]

[It should be said that all academies in the world are similar. They inevitably have a small exam every three days, a medium exam every ten days, and a big exam every thirty days.]

Liu Sheng and others have seen through it.

The new students who enrolled today were also very easy to identify, as they were basically all dressed in snow-white priest robes that glowed with a divine light.

In comparison, people like Liu Sheng and Yun Jidao who wore their regular clothes were rare, which made them stand out and attracted many strange looks.

Yun Jidao was a little intimidated by these gazes, but Liu Sheng didn't care and took Yun Jidao to where the students in priest robes gathered.

"Student, is this where new students register?" Liu Sheng asked politely.

When the classmate saw Liu Sheng's clothes, he felt a little disdainful. When he looked up and recognized the face, he immediately stood up in respect.

"So it's Liu Zhuangyuan. This is the registration office of the seminary. You belong to... um, the National Academy, so you should go to another place, but I don't know where it is..."

Liu Sheng nodded to express his gratitude and turned to leave.

"Mr. Liu, my name is Wang Qi. If you need anything..." the man hurriedly added from behind.

"Well, I'll find you if I need you." Liu Sheng said.

Yun Jidao heard the group of seminary students behind him talking about Liu Sheng behind his back, some with admiration, some with ridicule.

She quietly stuck out her tongue, quickened her pace to catch up with Liu Sheng, and comforted him: "Student Liu, don't mind it. Smart people know that you are recognized by the Supreme God!"

Liu Sheng shook his head: "It doesn't matter."

Seeing Liu Sheng's calm demeanor, Yun Jidao admired him even more.

No wonder the big brother said she should spend more time with Sister Liu Sheng.

He is indeed a role model for learning!
But the very "magical" thing is that after Yun Jidao finished saying that, everyone around him inexplicably put away their doubts, looked at Liu Sheng with admiration, and the discussion turned to how wonderful Liu Sheng's performance in the palace examination was.

The change was so fast that even Liu Sheng was a little uncomfortable with it, and some of the compliments made him feel embarrassed.

[It seems that this is Yun Jidao’s true feelings…]

Liu Sheng, who was embarrassed inside but appeared calm on the outside, asked several seniors and finally found the registration place for the National Academy, a side hall called Yinghui Hall.

The place was quite deserted today, with few visitors, and the old teacher was lazily dozing off at the door.

Liu Sheng tapped the table lightly, waking up the old teacher.

"Oh, you're here to enroll." After hearing Liu Sheng's purpose, the old teacher yawned.

"Show me the credentials."

Liu Sheng and Yun Jidao handed over their identity credentials.

The old instructor swiped the voucher on the jade book, then checked the surprisingly short list in his hand and verified the names.

"Alas, the number of students enrolled is getting smaller and smaller every year... there are only five this year..." lamented the old teacher.

"Liu Sheng... Little Green Garden..."

He hadn't heard about what was happening outside for a long time, so he didn't have any special reaction to the name Liu Sheng, he just felt it was somewhat familiar.

"And you are? Oh, Yunjidao, Xiaxian, that's a weird name."

Yun Jidao was a little embarrassed and said, "People in our area like to make shellfish soup. The shellfish is topped with soup, and it tastes really delicious..."

Liu Sheng was very interested, but the old teacher was obviously not interested and interrupted him directly, "Okay, registration is complete."

Then he took out two storage bags, poured out the items inside, and introduced them one by one. "Your identity tokens are inside. Don't lose them. They record your information and contribution points."

He swiped the two tokens on the jade book, and the tokens of Liu Sheng and Yun Jidao were registered.

"Contribution points, as the name suggests, come from contributions to the National Academy, mainly exam grades, as well as published academic articles, participation in training projects, etc." The old teacher explained.

"But the latter is not something you freshmen can do. You should concentrate on studying and studying hard, and don't miss the monthly exam to get promoted."

As if afraid that they would think too much, the old teacher added another sentence as a kind reminder.

"Understood." The two responded obediently, but what they thought in their hearts was another matter.

He pointed to the two sets of clothes on the table and said, "The uniform of the academy. Remember to change into them when you go back. If you don't wear the uniform, your contribution points will be deducted."

"Also, there are maps and rules and regulations for the National Academy. Go back and study them carefully. Remember what you can and cannot do, where you can go and where you cannot go."

The two of them said respectfully: "Thank you for your teachings, Master."

They were about to put the things on the table into the storage bag given by the old instructor, but the old instructor suddenly remembered something, glanced at the jade book, and hurriedly stopped them.

"Wait, this dress doesn't look right."

He confirmed it, changed another set for Liu Sheng, and said, "You are a middle school student, wear this."

Then he muttered to himself: "This is really strange. This is the first time I see someone who is a middle school student right after entering school..."

Liu Sheng looked down at the token, input his spiritual energy, and saw his information:
-
[Name]: Liu Sheng
Age: 19

[Identity]: A student of the National Academy
【Entrance time】: Jinghe 9th year
【Residence】：Daoxiangzhai

【Contribution Points】: Zero
-
[I feel like this information panel is familiar.]

Yun Jidao looked proud of it.

I thought to myself: My sister Liu Sheng is so amazing.

After checking in, the two left Yinghui Hall and went to the dormitory according to the instructions on the map.

The National Academy is very large, occupying most of the green hill. It has a symmetrical layout and is built along the central axis against the hill, forming a large-scale, quiet and ancient building complex, which is divided into front and back hills.

The front mountain is mainly used as a school dormitory for classes, and now half of it is allocated to the seminary.

On the left and right sides are dormitories for male and female disciples respectively, and behind the dormitories is the dining hall.

The back mountain is where the various bachelor's and research students study, which is divided into various large and small research rooms. That is exactly the place that Liu Sheng is curious about and yearns for.

While walking along the Listening to the Rain Corridor in the garden pond towards the direction of the women's dormitory, Yun Jidao asked cautiously:

"Mr. Liu...which dormitory is yours?"

"It's Daoxiangzhai."

Yun Jidao immediately smiled happily: "I am also from Daoxiangzhai!"

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "Really? That's great."

Very sincere.

At the same time, I couldn't help but think of other people.

I wonder which dormitory Wang Dongdong is in?

There are also Senior Sisters Lin Shuying and Qu Chunyan...

Speaking of which, it seems like I haven’t seen my cheap cousin Ling Yuke for a long time.

I don't know what's going on with Wen Xuanning...

In any case, it's best to stay away from him.

But sometimes the power of thought is very strong. While Liu Sheng was thinking, the person he least wanted to see appeared in front of him.

On the corridor, Wen Xuanning came towards them with a few followers and met Liu Sheng head-on.

【unlucky! 】

[We thought of so many people, why did he appear? ]

Although he was extremely annoyed, Liu Sheng only glanced at him indifferently. Just as he was about to pass by, he heard Wen Xuanning speak slowly:
"Liu Zhuangyuan, why are you so cold?"
