The atmosphere inside the bread cart was a bit tense.

"Deputy Director, he transferred all the money to the local authorities." The technician looked at the monitoring data with a complicated expression.

They had been keeping a close eye on Wei Ying's account, fearing he might abscond with the money. But now, the money had actually been used to buy land, its purpose clear, and it seemed to have nothing to do with the word "fraud."

"He really spent 300 million to buy this mountain land?" Zhou Zheng was a little dazed. 300 million—an ordinary person couldn't spend it all in several lifetimes. Wei Ying just threw it all away in this poor mountain village?

Judging from this, it seems he really intends to build a school here?

"Could it be? Could it be that he really doesn't have a gang behind him? Is the crowdfunding just for building a school?" Zhou Zheng has been doing this for almost thirty years, and this is the first time he feels like his brain isn't working properly.

That afternoon, a dark-skinned, burly middle-aged man approached Wei Ying.

"My name is Liu Dazhu. Old Wang sent me here. I heard you have some big work here?" The man's voice was deep and had a local accent.

Wei Ying looked him over, nodded, and told him about the plan to build a university in the mountains.

"What? What did you say?" Liu Dazhu's eyes widened in disbelief. If it weren't for Lao Wang's introduction, he would have left on the spot.

"These are the construction drawings." Wei Ying pulled out a thick stack of drawings. "Use these to connect these thirty hilltops."

The school gate is here, spanning two mountains, the kind that rises above the clouds.

He stayed up all night last night and, relying on his newly learned master-level skills, finished the entire set of construction drawings.

Liu Dazhu took the blueprints, flipped through a few pages, and gasped.

"Good heavens," he looked up at Wei Ying, "If people knew you were building a school, they would think you were building the South Heavenly Gate."

He has been working in engineering for over a decade and has taken on many difficult jobs, but this blueprint depicts a mountain peak and a college, with the school gate towering between two mountains, reaching into the clouds.

This isn't building a university, it's establishing a sect of immortal cultivators!

"Can you do the work? If you can't, I'll find someone else," Wei Ying asked.

"I can do it! I absolutely can!" Liu Dazhu hugged the blueprints tightly. "If I, Liu Dazhu, can't do this in Linshan, then no one else has a chance!"

He just looked at it carefully. The blueprints weren't just randomly drawn; every step was meticulously planned. If they were to construct according to the blueprints, there would be a good chance of success.

If this project succeeds, it will cause a national sensation. His construction team will also become famous.

"I'll go back and get people right away. Once the contract is signed, we'll start work tomorrow!" Liu Dazhu said, grabbing the blueprints and running off, afraid that Wei Ying might change his mind.

The next day, in the mountains.

Once the contract was signed, Liu Dazhu brought over 300 people and various pieces of machinery and equipment into the mountains with a roar.

Wei Ying started a live stream, pointing the camera at the bustling construction site. His follower count has already reached 800,000.

"Where is the streamer? Still in the mountains?"

"This place can be a university? I'll livestream myself washing my hair while doing a handstand!"

"Unless you level the mountain, there's no chance."

"Give up, Principal, the terrain isn't suitable."

The comments section was flooded with messages; nobody seemed optimistic. Wei Ying smiled and turned the camera to the side.

"I forgot to mention, the land was bought yesterday, and the construction team was hired. Now," he paused, "construction has already started."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud "boom" came from afar.

Liu Dazhu directed the large equipment to begin the first process between the two mountains. The roar of machinery then exploded, echoing through the valley.

Dust billowed, and mountain birds took flight in fright.

The construction site is alive again.

In the live stream, viewers were stunned as they watched the bustling construction site on screen.

"Eight hundred acres? The streamer really bought the land? And the construction team has even started work?"

"To really build a university in the mountains? The courage is commendable, but it's too unrealistic."

"Stop now, Azu. There are mountains all around. It's not too late to turn back now."

"This is a complete waste of money; I bet this project will be a total failure!"

The comments section was flooded with messages, almost all of them questioning and criticizing. To the average person, building a university in a remote, inaccessible mountain area seemed utterly insane.

"This is where four provinces meet," Wei Ying said clearly to the camera. "Haichuan University, as its name suggests, takes 'Haichuan' (meaning 'sea and river') as its name, and naturally should be built amidst the beautiful landscapes of our motherland!"

He paused, then his tone suddenly became impassioned: "If a mountain blocks my way, I will forge a path through it! If a river obstructs my path, I will build a bridge across it! This is the spirit that has allowed Haichuan University to endure for so long and stand strong!"

These words echoed in the live stream, instantly igniting a flurry of comments.

"Good! Well said! Since it's called Haichuan University, it should be built on top of mountains and rivers!"

"With mountains in front and a long river behind, Haichuan University truly lives up to its name!"

"It turns out the principal has such a long-term vision, but building a school in such a mountainous area is still too difficult."

"Ahem, are you serious about that last sentence? Haichuan University has only been established for a few days! What kind of 'long-standing tradition' and 'unyielding' nonsense is that?!"

Many viewers, especially students from the four provinces of eastern Sichuan, southern Sichuan, western Haixi, and northern Haixi, were deeply moved by these words.

Seeing that Wei Ying was so considerate of them, many people expressed their support, and the number of critical comments in the live chat decreased significantly.

Meanwhile, on social media platforms, a topic called #HaichuanUniversitySpirit# quickly rose to the top of the trending search list.

Some netizens recorded Wei Ying's speech in the live broadcast room, and in a short period of time, the number of likes, reposts and comments exceeded 100,000.

Netizens from the four provinces were the most enthusiastic. After learning that Wei Ying had started construction in Linshan County, many people even spontaneously organized to go to the border area of ​​the four provinces to help.

"Haichuan University only recruits students from our four provinces, so of course we should do our part!"

"The spirit of Haichuan University is also the spirit of our four provinces!"

"So what if it's surrounded by mountains? So what if the mountain roads are rugged? Nothing can stop the rise of Haichuan University!"

"I'm too busy with work to go, but I still donated two thousand yuan, just to do my part!"

At this moment, no one doubted Wei Ying's motives anymore. Upon learning that he had purchased 800 acres of mountain land with real money and hired a construction team to break ground, the enthusiasm of netizens for donating money was ignited like never before.

Those who had previously mistook the text message for a scam and almost blocked Wei Ying quietly dug out the message and copied Wei Ying's bank card number.

Some donated 200 yuan, some donated 2,000 yuan; more or less, they all contributed their share.

As Wei Ying said, Haichuan University is named "Haichuan" and should naturally be built on the beautiful land of our motherland! Unbeknownst to many, Haichuan University's popularity has far surpassed that of other top universities.

Even students from outside the four provinces are envious and wish they could transfer their student registration to the four provinces.

"Why does Haichuan University only accept students from four provinces? This is regional discrimination, I protest!"

"Such a good university should belong to the whole country!"

"I have a question. My son insists on attending any university other than Haichuan University. Our ancestral home is in Haixi, but our household registration is currently in another province. Is it possible for him to get in?"

"There are still ten days left to fill out college applications. Is it too late to transfer my school registration?"
