You said you failed your college entrance exam and are now crowdfunding to build a university?

Netizens were stunned. Some curious individuals checked the educational institution registration system and found that Haichuan University had all the necessary qualifications, was clearly registered in black and white, and was fully qualified to enroll students.

But that cutoff score is like a high wall, keeping the vast majority of people out.

"I'm from four provinces, and I only scored 620. I can't even get past the minimum requirement?"

"A university built entirely online has admission scores higher than Tsinghua and Peking Universities? That's outrageous!"

"Universities have the autonomy to set their own graduation scores; it's their prerogative to set whatever score they want, even 750 is acceptable. But this clearly shows they don't want to recruit anyone, right?"

"Got it, this is the legendary 'three years to catch up, five years to surpass', starting from the score line to surpass."

Joking aside, another trending topic quickly emerged: #Haichuan University's Lowered Admission Score Mechanism#.

Someone posted a screenshot of the crowdfunding message they received a few days ago.

The message clearly stated: We sincerely invite donations from all sectors to help establish Haichuan University.

Please ensure you use the designated account (Account Name: Wei Ying). Sponsors will receive a corresponding reduction in admission scores based on the amount donated.

Donate 1,000, and get a 50-point discount.

That's equivalent to twenty yuan per cent.

"Wow! Donating money to buy points? I'm an expert at this!"

"If I donate 1,000, does that mean I only need 590 on the exam to get in?"

"Looking at it this way, it seems like we can push the cutoff score up again?"

Once the score reduction mechanism was revealed, the direction of the discussion shifted somewhat. But then, another issue surfaced: the quality of teachers.

On the official website, in the faculty section of each college, apart from the dean of the College of Fine Arts named Wei Ying, all the others are listed as "coming soon".

So this university currently only has a president without any teachers.

This bucket of cold water has dampened the spirits of many. School is for learning, not for playing simulation games.

A police station in southern Sichuan.

Zhou Zheng stared at the computer screen, his expression grim. They had naturally seen the trending topic about Haichuan University.

"Outrageous." He spat out the two words, tapping his fingers on the table. "The cutoff score is set sky-high, and then they come up with a donation scheme to lower the score. It's clearly a way to lure more people into donating money."

He had already instructed the bank to keep a close eye on Wei Ying's account. Money could come in, but if he wanted to transfer or withdraw large sums of money, his account could be frozen immediately.

But Wei Ying's public "selling of points" still infuriated him.

"Isn't this considered running a school illegally?" Zhou Zheng looked at his deputy. "Contact the education department and have them investigate this school."

"I've checked." The deputy's expression was a little strange. "The feedback is that the school has all the necessary qualifications and is properly registered."

Zhou Zheng was taken aback.

"Fully qualified?" He frowned. "A university built in just a few days, fully qualified?"

He remained silent for a few seconds, then slowly leaned back in his chair.

"It seems the group behind him has considerable influence." Zhou Zheng's voice deepened. "They even managed to get the school operating license so quickly; they've been hiding their influence quite well."

To be honest, if Wei Ying hadn't been honestly livestreaming the "school building" every day without touching a single penny of the money in his bank account, he would have been arrested for fraud long ago.

But given the current situation, it seems Wei Ying really is messing with a university?

Although this university seems outrageous no matter how you look at it.

Zhou Zheng rubbed his temples. This case is getting increasingly bizarre.

Inside the rented room, Wei Ying stared blankly at his phone screen.

Bank card balance: 203 million.

The admission brochure had only been out for a day, but the money transfer notifications hadn't stopped.

Tens of thousands of payments poured in, ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands, pushing the balance to nine figures.

"It seems we're one step closer to building the school." Wei Ying twitched the corner of his mouth.

Crowdfunding really works. With hundreds of millions of people in four provinces, even if only a small portion of them believed in it, the amount of money raised would be staggering.

"Ding! The [January School Construction] task has achieved a phased progress, with a completion rate of 10%. Reward: 1000 challenge points."

"Remaining time for the mission: 27 days."

A system notification sounded. Wei Ying's eyes lit up, and he brought up the panel. His challenge points balance had jumped to 1020.

With money and points, you can exchange them for even more things.

"Now Haichuan University has everything: the school emblem, motto, rules, admission notices, and enrollment brochures," Wei Ying thought to himself. "The only two things missing are the school site and the teachers."

The task progress is stuck at 10%, probably because the "faculty resources" section is still empty. He's currently the only one in the entire school without any staff.

We need to hire more people.

He started his live stream. The moment he started, the number of viewers jumped to 50,000. The screen was flooded with comments.

"Principal, you've finally arrived! Setting the cutoff score so high, is that even humanly possible?"

"I scored 300 on the college entrance exam. Will donating more money help me get in?"

"Are you still recruiting for the school dog position? My dog, Dahuang, is already in place."

"Twenty-seven colleges, where are the teachers? Why is your name the only one on the official website?"

Haichuan University has become a hot topic, and his livestreaming room has also become a tourist attraction. His number of followers has long exceeded 500,000.

"Ahem, as everyone knows, our school is just starting out, and we haven't recruited any teachers yet," Wei Ying said truthfully to the camera.

The live chat instantly went even more excited.

"No other options? Can I even apply? I'm a master of argumentation, a level 10 expert! I'm the perfect candidate for Dean of the School of Architecture!"

"I know how to operate a boiler; Dean of the Physics Department, would you consider it?"

"My wife has been sweeping the streets for ten years, shouldn't the dean of the environmental science department keep her on for her?"

"I'm a King of Glory player with 800 points in the first server, who else but me could be the Dean of the School of Information Technology?"

The comments section was full of talented people, all wanting to get a government job. Wei Ying's eyelids twitched as he watched.

"Stop, stop." He quickly interrupted, "I'll list the job requirements and positions now."

He pulled up the document and started typing in front of the camera.

Dean of the School of Architecture: Must hold the title of professor, possess at least ten international architecture awards, and have presided over national landmark projects (such as cross-sea bridges, large stadiums, etc.).

Dean of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics: Must hold the title of professor, possess at least ten international aerospace awards, and have led manned spaceflight or deep space exploration projects.

Dean of the School of Physics: Must hold the title of professor, possess at least ten international physics awards, and have made groundbreaking contributions to cutting-edge physics.

He listed the recruitment requirements for twenty-seven deans in one go.

The live stream chat was quiet for a few seconds, then it exploded.

"Principal, what I'm saying is, isn't this requirement a bit too high?"

"Anyone who didn't know better would think you were recruiting academicians."

"Wow, they only hire academicians? That's incredibly high-class."

"President, if you can really recruit academicians, I'll sell everything I own to go to Sichuan University!"

Netizens were shocked when they saw the requirements. They realized they had underestimated the school's ambition.

Even at top universities like Tsinghua and Peking University, academicians are extremely rare. Wei Ying, on the other hand, wants to appoint an academician as dean for every college?

This configuration is beyond my wildest dreams.

"Next up are regular teaching positions," Wei Ying continued typing.

"Lower the requirements: a doctoral degree in a relevant field, more than two years of teaching or research experience at a top domestic or international university, having led or participated in important research projects, and having academic achievements."
