After the college entrance exam, he began to become a male god of extraction.

When they arrived near the hotel, Xu Qin parked the car.

"Old Xu, aren't you sleepy?"

Because he had stayed up all night, Wei Guoyu couldn't help but yawn, and he had yawned several times along the way.

On the contrary, Xu Qin looked energetic and spirited.

Wei Guoyu was quite envious of Xu Qin. Xu Qin had excellent physical fitness and high athletic talent. The school leaders even asked him if he wanted to try the sports route, but Xu Qin's mother disagreed because she felt that Xu Qin should be a cultured person, not a sports student.

Simply put, if Xu Qin had pursued a career in sports, he could have easily found a way to get into a top university.

"I'm really sleepy. What time does the teacher appreciation banquet end?"

Wei Guoyu checked the time and found that today was June 9th.

He slapped his forehead, instantly waking up completely.

"Number 9! I almost forgot!"

"Forgot what?"

Xu Qin threw the trash in his hand into the trash can next to him and asked casually.

"Today is the release date for science fiction author Li Wei's 'The Great Judgment of Apocalypse.' Our Ningcheng branch is releasing 5,000 copies in the first batch. I wonder if I'll still be able to snag a copy after the teacher appreciation banquet ends?"

Today, China is the world's first and only superpower, primarily a nation strong in science and technology and education, with all sectors flourishing.

Its cultural and entertainment sectors have flourished, gaining worldwide renown and dominating the global market with its cultural soft power.

Li Wei is a rising star in the science fiction field, with royalties exceeding 200 million yuan annually for the past five years.

But that's not the most impressive thing.

Because of his significant influence in the field of literary creation, Li Wei is already one of the candidates for "cultural ambassador." He is about to embark on a political career, and we'll see if he can become a cultural ambassador.

In the field of literary creation, China also has a path to the heavens. The most outstanding writer and calligrapher in the country today is one of the ten people of "Hualongchi". However, due to his busy schedule, he has long since retired from the literary world and stopped writing.

But the so-called "path to heaven" in the field of literary creation is truly a path to heaven; if your literary level is high enough, it can serve as a stepping stone to politics.

After all, since the Ming Dynasty, Liu Yu, the 72nd generation descendant of Liu Bang, rebuilt the Han Dynasty three times. For more than 300 years since then, China has been the world's hegemon, and the official literary tradition has never been interrupted.

In modern times, the state has also attached great importance to supporting cultural soft power, so related fields have flourished and are now an important cultural symbol of China to the outside world.

Wei Guoyu then added, "Moreover, among these five thousand copies, fifty have Li Wei's autograph. I wonder if I can get one."

Thanks to the celebrity effect, Xu Qin was fortunate enough to see Li Wei's autographed version online. A book that cost more than 60 yuan was sold by scalpers for more than 9,000 yuan a copy. It was outrageous and exaggerated, but it has to be said that this is the weight of the science fiction master Li Wei.

Xu Qin doesn't follow celebrities or like reading, so he really can't understand this phenomenon.

Wei Guoyu: "Each person can only buy one copy on-site. Lao Xu, let's go take a look together after the teacher appreciation banquet."

"I'm fine with going together, but I can't just make a wasted trip, can I?"

"How about I buy you a Vulcan gun skin, okay?"

Vulcan gun skin, valued at 428!

"make a deal!"

A dozen minutes later, the two arrived at the hotel.

Xu and Qin arrived at the large private room where their class was located.

The time is 8:00 AM.

Teachers and students arrived at Xu Qin's class one after another.

"Old Xu, we just graduated, and all the girls in our class already know how to dress up. I didn't expect there to be so many beauties in our class!"

Wei Guoyu looked at the girls in his class and couldn't help but be surprised.

As they graduated from high school, the girls in the class who always wore high ponytails, low ponytails, buns, or mushroom haircuts dressed up nicely to make a good impression at the teacher appreciation banquet. Some of the girls even put on makeup and wore pretty clothes and dresses.

Xu Qin and his classmates were in a science class, with a 50/50 male-to-female ratio. There were 28 girls, and quite a few of them were quite good. For example, they were generally tall, with only five girls under 1.65 meters tall and sixteen girls over 1.7 meters tall.

"But it still has to be Xia Qingyun, simple and unpretentious, naturally beautiful! Old Xu, you bastard, you've got all the good stuff!"

Wei Guoyu was filled with envy.

With Xia Qingyun's appearance, many people's attention shifted to her.

Xia Qingyun's attire was actually very simple; she didn't even dress up much. She wore a high ponytail, a white long-sleeved shirt, and light blue loose jeans, but she was just naturally gifted.

Two things about Xia Qingyun are her beauty mark under her eye and her hair.

She has thick hair, a low hairline, and good hair quality, so when she ties her hair in a high ponytail that exposes her forehead, her flaws, such as a wide parting or a high hairline, are not magnified like other girls.

After Xia Qingyun arrived, she exchanged pleasantries with the teachers.

The teacher appreciation banquet wasn't just attended by their teachers from their senior year of high school; some of their former teachers also participated. Naturally, top students like Xia Qingyun received the most attention.

Xu Qin and Wei Guoyu sat on the steps of the stage, idly chatting about this and that.

A few minutes later, Xia Qingyun arrived.

"Xu Qin, after the teacher appreciation banquet, shall we go to the bookstore?"

Which bookstore should we go to?

"Xinle Bookstore, buying books, Li Wei's new work, 'The Great Judgment of Apocalypse'."

"The Great Judgment of Apocalypse," or rather, Li Wei's works, have a wide audience. After all, Li Wei is a genuine engineering graduate from a top-two university. It's not that he writes books because he's a liberal arts student. With a top-tier engineering graduate at the helm, this book is exceptionally readable.

Xia Qingyun opened her phone and showed Xu Qin the book's sales status in Ningcheng.

"Xia, we can go together then. Old Xu and I will go too," Wei Guoyu said from the side.

"Xu Qin, you read this book too?" Xia Qingyun asked curiously.

"I'm going with Wei Guoyu, that rascal. If you're going too, let's go together!"

"All right."

Xia Qingyun actually wanted to go with Xu Qin, without a third person.

Not long after, Xia Qingyun went to chat with the girls.

A few minutes later, just as the teacher appreciation banquet was about to begin, a boy dressed in a black suit and with a slicked-back hairstyle appeared.

"Holy crap, Li Zilong is actually wearing a suit and tie, and he even has his hair slicked back?"

Wei Guoyu nudged Xu Qin.

"Wow, Li Zilong isn't afraid of the heat?"

Xu Qin couldn't hold back a bit, mainly because of the temperature today. It's only a little past eight o'clock, but it's already 33 degrees Celsius. It will be even higher than 36 degrees Celsius at noon. Even with air conditioning indoors, it won't be comfortable to wear a jacket outside.

"Old Xu, have you noticed? We're like convicts in a labor camp."

Wei Guoyu touched his head. Like Xu Qin, he had a buzz cut, which was also a rule of Ningcheng No. 3 Middle School. Boys should have short hair, preferably a buzz cut. But Zilong Gege was different. He was a top student, and the school turned a blind eye to top students.

"You look like a convict, but a buzz cut is a different story to me."

Xu Qin touched his head. He had a good head shape and was handsome. He was known as the number one buzz cut in No. 3 Middle School.

"I'm definitely going to grow my hair long this summer, and get a perm before I go to college!"

Wei Guoyu turned around and asked, "Old Xu, where are you?"

We'll see when the time comes.

Now let's talk about the other side.

After Li Zilong entered, he glanced around.

It has to be said that almost all the boys in the class have buzz cuts. And because this is a science class, many boys not only have buzz cuts, but also have unsightly beards that they don't shave, making them look very sloppy, which is what people online call the classic look of a top student.

"As expected, I, Li Zilong, am the coolest guy here!"

Li Zilong loosened his coat. Since his white shirt was tucked into his pants and he had just come in from outside, he could clearly feel that his underwear was sweaty.

It's so hot today!

But that doesn't matter.

The heat is temporary.

Being handsome lasts a lifetime!

Because he was thinking of "handsome", Li Zilong unconsciously looked at Xu Qin, only to find that Xu Qin was also looking at him.

"Aren't you impressed by my dashing appearance, Li Zilong!"

"I prepared this bespoke high-end suit for today's appearance two months in advance. It's so expensive it'll probably shock everyone. The suit cost over 98,000 yuan!"

"With my full power unleashed, who can stand against me?!"

Thinking of this, Li Zilong felt his heart surge with emotion and his blood boil.
