Fortunately, there didn't seem to be any students from Shenzhen No. 1 Middle School in this carriage.

These girls obviously didn't recognize the low-key guy in the corner.

The tall boy whose face was almost completely covered was the "Brother Xing" they were talking about so enthusiastically.

The train traveled smoothly and at high speed, and the cityscape outside the window was gradually replaced by open countryside and rolling hills.

Soon, a neatly planned area appeared.

A cluster of buildings, brimming with modern aesthetics and martial arts spirit, appears on the horizon.

We've arrived at the "University Town" area where Wuhan University is located in Shenzhen.

The thirty-minute drive passed in the blink of an eye.

At 7:30, the train slowly slowed down and came to a smooth stop at the Guangming Station platform.

Chen Xing carried the long box and followed the flow of people off the train.

Guangming Station is a newly built high-speed rail station specifically for the university town, with a design that is highly futuristic and technological.

The huge transparent dome allows the morning sunlight to flood the entire spacious and bright waiting hall without any obstruction.

The air is well-ventilated, and the environment is comfortable.

He followed the signs and walked towards the exit.

However, I had just stepped out of the ticket gate.

Upon arriving at the exit hall, the scene that unfolded before my eyes.

His steps faltered slightly, and his blood pressure began to rise subtly.

A small group of people were gathered not far from the exit of the station.

The group consisted mainly of young women, all holding up their phones and looking excited.

Their eyes eagerly peered towards the exit passage.

At the very front of the crowd stood a senior student wearing a bright orange volunteer vest from Shenzhen Wuhan University.

Holding a piece high...

A huge, exceptionally eye-catching fluorescent sign!

The sign, written in an artistic font, reads:

"A warm welcome to the nation's top scorer, Brother Xing, to Wuhan University in Shenzhen!!!"

Around the sign, flashes of light went off one after another, and the clicking sound was incessant.

The girls took photos while excitedly whispering among themselves:

"Is this the train? G168? Is Brother Xing really taking this one?"

"The volunteer senior said yes! They should be out soon! Get your phones ready!"

"Wow, this sign... the school really knows how to create something amazing! But I like it!"

"Quick, quick, adjust the angle! I want to be the first to capture a video of Brother Xing exiting the station!"

The senior student holding the sign was so blinded by the flashlight that he could barely open his eyes, and his expression froze.

But they still have to try their best to maintain the image of volunteers as warm and considerate.

He would occasionally tiptoe and peer into the exit passage, probably muttering, "Why isn't he out yet?"

Chen Xing silently took two steps back, hiding himself behind a thick alloy pillar.

He took out his phone and found the contact person whose contact name was "Chen Poshan".

My fingers flew across the keyboard as I typed:

[Chen Xing]: Dean, I've arrived at Guangming Station.

Please tell the student who is picking me up that I can go to school by myself.

I brought my SS+ student card, so I can go there by myself.

Thank you.

The message was sent less than ten seconds ago.

The phone vibrated—Chen Poshan had called directly.

Chen Xing answered the phone, but before he could speak...

The receiver then picked up Chen Poshan's signature loud voice and undisguised laughter:

"Hahaha! You little rascal! Did you see the scene at the exit?"

"I knew you wouldn't be able to handle this! Fine, I'll have them leave right away!"

"These kids, always doing all that fancy stuff!"

Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Dean."

"Don't mention it! I was originally planning to give you a much grander welcome ceremony."

"Let me show off how our Shenwu team snatched the top scorer this year, but you don't appreciate it at all."

Chen Poshan laughed and cursed, then said,

"I've had that sign taken down. Are you coming over yourself?"

"Do you know the way? The school's main gate is hard to find; it's up in the mountains."

"I've checked the map, navigation will work too. Thank you, Dean, no need for a car." Chen Xing said calmly.

"OK!"

.........

After Chen Poshan finished speaking, he hung up the phone decisively.

Chen Xing put away his phone and peeked out from behind the pillar.

Just then, the senior student holding the sign had his phone ring, and he lowered his aching arm with a sigh of relief.

I answered the phone and mumbled a few "uh-huhs" and "yeahs".

Then he loudly addressed the girls around him who were eagerly waiting:

"Dear students, we have just received a notification that Chen Xing has had an urgent matter to attend to and has already left through another exit."

"Please disperse in an orderly manner and do not block the exit. Thank you for your cooperation!"

"Huh?! They're gone?"

"What happened! We waited for nothing!"

"From another passage? Which passage? We didn't see it?"

The girls immediately erupted in a chorus of disappointed comments.

But look at the senior's "Don't ask me, I'm desperate too" expression.

They could only reluctantly put away their phones and gradually disperse.

Chen Xing then emerged from behind the pillar.

I walked around to a relatively quiet exit on the other side of the station hall and quickly went out.

……

Stepping out of Guangming Station.

Chen Xing stood at the edge of the open station square.

He carried a worn-out military backpack on his back and a long black box containing a dragon spine staff in his left hand.

After determining the direction, I started walking.

Along the wide and clean road in front of the station.

Walking leisurely along the tree-lined path with its lush trees on both sides.

The road stretched straight ahead, seemingly leading to the mountains.

The morning breeze carried the fragrance of unknown plants and trees from the green belt, and the air was incredibly fresh.

It felt like being in a forest park, rather than on the edge of a university town.

Occasionally, a futuristic hovercar would smoothly drive past him.

The wheels do not touch the ground, and only a faint hum of energy is emitted.

Inside the car window, one could occasionally glimpse a few young and curious faces.

He was being observed walking alone.

The peer, who was also carrying a suspicious long box, then looked away.

The fifteen-minute walk was neither too long nor too short, just enough for him to adjust his mood and get a feel for the atmosphere of the area.

As the mountains became clearer in the field of vision, a colossal and imposing structure finally appeared at the end of the road.

Chen Xing's steps unconsciously paused slightly.

He stood in front of the main gate of Wuhan University in Shenzhen.

I looked up, my gaze following the silvery-white color.

The massive gateposts, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen, climbed upwards.

The goalposts are nearly 100 meters high.

Instead, they are two giant metal wings that curve inward, like unsheathed blades, with sharp angles.

It did not close at the top, but left a tense opening.

Between the two metal wings, a dark blue crystalline material forms the main body of the school gate.

It resembles a colossal blade poised to cleave the heavens.

It simply stands there.

It exudes a suffocating sense of oppression.

But that's not all.

The most striking thing is the area above the school gate.

That enormous holographic projection covered almost half the sky!

The projection core is a giant, ancient-looking battle sword!

The battle sword was dark gold in color, with roaring lightning and churning crimson flames swirling around its blade.

Each shift of light and shadow was accompanied by deafening thunder and the crackling sound of burning flames.

The lighting and shadow effects are so realistic that it seems as if the knife will actually come down at any moment and tear everything apart!

Beneath the battle blade, lightning and flames intertwined.

Four large, silver characters, written with vigorous strokes and sharp, pointed lines.

Like a brand imprint on the sky—Wuhan University in Shenzhen!

Chen Xing's gaze lingered for a moment on the projection of the battle blade surrounded by thunder and flames.

This is the emblem of Wuhan University in Shenzhen.

"It's...quite to my liking."

Chen Xing thought to himself.

The school gate is extremely wide, large enough to allow dozens of hovercars to pass side by side.

But at this moment it was empty, without a single gatekeeper in the traditional sense.

Only on either side of the gatepost, there stands a three-meter-high, entirely silver-white pillar.

The metal pillars with pale blue energy loops flowing on their surface are clearly a highly intelligent access control system.

Chen Xing walked to the metal pillar on the right and took out the dark gold student card from his pocket.

Gently place it on a spot on the metal pillar that is clearly the sensing area.

"Beep—Identity verified. Welcome, SS+ level specially recruited student, Chen Xing."

A clear, melodious female voice, with just the right amount of playfulness and cuteness.

Suddenly, a sound rang in Chen Xing's ear, as if someone were speaking right next to him.

However, the sound source is clear, indicating some kind of directional sound transmission technology.

Meanwhile, above that metal pillar.

A pale blue holographic beam was projected out, and the beams quickly intertwined in the air.

Through condensation, it eventually formed a...

Palm-sized, yet incredibly lifelike.

It has two pairs of semi-transparent wings on its back.

A cute little girl with pigtails!

She was wearing a mini version of the Wuhan University uniform in Shenzhen.

It fluttered its wings and hovered in front of Chen Xing.

It was less than 20 centimeters from the tip of his nose.

Her large eyes, simulated with pixels, curved into beautiful crescent moons.

Her small mouth parted, revealing an incredibly infectious and radiant smile:

"^⌯⌯^੭! Hi there! Brother Xing, how are you?"

"Nice to meet you!"

"My name is Xiao Xiao. I'm your personal mentor and assistant, specially arranged by Dean Chen Poshan to pick you up and take you to school!"
