Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

Four o'clock in the afternoon, in the teaching building.

The freshmen of Computer Science Class 1 have gradually filled half of the classroom.

Class meetings at the beginning of the semester always have a sense of unfamiliarity.

Some students were talking quietly in the classroom, while others were engrossed in their phones.

Lu Xing sat in the back, twirling a black ballpoint pen in his hand, his gaze fixed on the podium.

Standing in front of the podium was their class advisor, a woman who looked to be in her late twenties.

She wrote her name on the blackboard.

Chen Jing.

The handwriting is neat and the strokes are steady.

After finishing writing, she turned around, looked at the group of freshmen who had just entered university, and smiled.

"My name is Chen Jing, Chen from the east of the ear, and Jing from the quiet."

"Starting today, I will be the counselor for Class 1 of Computer Science."

"If you encounter any problems in the next four years, you can come to me."

"Of course, I hope that you won't come to me with any dormitory conflicts."

A soft chuckle rippled through the audience.

Chen Jing smiled as well.

"University is different from high school. No one will be watching you study every day, and no one will urge you to do homework or memorize vocabulary."

"But that doesn't mean universities can completely relax, especially for computer science students like you."

She became slightly more serious as she spoke.

"This major isn't something you can just cram for a few days before the final exam."

"To learn something well, consistent accumulation over time is very important."

"I hope that you will all take responsibility for yourselves over the next four years."

Lu Xing listened to these words without feeling any emotional fluctuation.

When he first entered university, he was just like most people.

University life is liberating; finally, no one's watching over us.

I later learned that "no one cares" is the most dangerous place in university.

During high school, everyone is pushed forward.

After university, the road suddenly opened up.

Some people ran forward, some lay down on the spot, and some accidentally rolled into the pit.

Looking back after graduation, the gap is so large it's unsettling.

After Chen Jing finished introducing herself, she patted the list in her hand.

"Alright, it's your turn now."

"Following the order on the list, each person will come up and give a brief self-introduction."

"Don't be too nervous, everyone can just say a few words."

The most classic, yet most awkward, part of the class meeting has begun.

The first boy whose name was called walked up to the podium somewhat awkwardly.

"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Yang, and I'm from Jiangcheng."

"I enjoy playing basketball and hope to get along well with everyone in the future. Thank you."

Sparse applause broke out.

The second girl went on stage.

"Hello everyone, my name is Sun Xiaonan, I'm from Nanhu, and my hobbies are listening to music and watching movies..."

One after another, the content was mostly the same.

Name, hometown, hobbies, and I hope you'll take care of me in the future.

Occasionally, a few idiots would go on stage and crack a joke, eliciting laughter.

But most people were noticeably reserved.

After all, it's only the first day of school, and nobody knows if something they say casually will become a black mark on their record for four years.

Lu Xing, on the other hand, remained calm.

Until Chen Jing looked down at the list and read it aloud:

"Land journey".

Lu Xing put down his pen and stood up from his seat.

He walked up to the podium and turned to look at the audience.

Dozens of young faces were looking at him.

If it were Lu Xing in his previous life, he would probably be a little nervous too.

But now, he felt no emotion whatsoever.

Compared to the various meetings that followed, the self-introductions at university class meetings were surprisingly gentle and endearing.

"Hello everyone, my name is Lu Xing."

"From Nanhe County."

"I usually enjoy listening to music and reading books, and I also write a little code."

He paused briefly at this point.

"I have some basic programming skills."

"I hope to have more opportunities to interact with everyone in the future, thank you."

Chen Jing, who was standing next to the podium, clearly looked up at him.

Lu walked down from the podium and returned to his seat.

The self-introduction lasted for nearly half an hour.

After the last student introduced himself, the classroom finally erupted in applause that was even more sincere than before.

This segment is finally over.

Chen Jing walked back to the center of the podium and began to talk about the various matters to be discussed.

New student orientation, student handbook.

Leave application process will be announced in the class group.

And the two words that freshmen can't avoid the most—

Military training.

"Military training will officially begin the day after tomorrow."

"The class committee members will come with me to pick up the military training uniforms tomorrow morning; they will be distributed together then."

"You cannot be absent from military training without a valid reason. If you have any special health conditions, please bring a doctor's certificate to me in advance."

"It's quite hot, so please prepare your own water bottles, sunscreen, and heatstroke medication."

"Especially for guys, don't think it's okay to get a little tanned."

"If you get sunburned and your skin peels, you'll be the ones who suffer."

Several boys in the audience subconsciously touched their arms.

Lu Xing was mentally prepared for this.

There's no escaping military training; he experienced it in his previous life too.

I'm really tired, but to put it simply, it was incredibly tough...

That was indeed a very difficult time.

After talking about military training, Chen Jing turned the topic to the class committee election.

"In university, the class committee is still very important for the smooth operation of the class."

"We'll elect the class monitor, the Youth League branch secretary, the academic affairs committee member, the student life committee member, and the cultural and sports affairs committee member today."

"Students who are interested can come up and give a brief presentation."

After she finished speaking, the classroom was silent for a few seconds.

Soon after, someone stood up.

The first one to go up was a boy who seemed very outgoing during his self-introduction.

He ran for class monitor.

He said he had served as a class officer in high school and had organizational experience, and hoped to serve his classmates.

Later, other people ran for the positions of Youth League branch secretary and study committee member.

Everyone says some very standard phrases when they go on stage.

Responsible, enthusiastic, and experienced.

Willing to give to everyone.

Lu Xing sat in the audience, listening quietly.

He had no intention of running for office.

The role of a class committee member can indeed be somewhat useful for ordinary students.

After all, it also allows for more interaction with teachers from various subjects and counselors.

They will also have a slight advantage when it comes to awards and commendations.

However, for land-based vehicles, the cost-effectiveness is too low.

The class monitor is responsible for issuing notices, organizing activities, handling leave requests, and managing all sorts of miscellaneous matters.

The class monitor is responsible for collecting homework, urging students to finish their assignments, compiling lists of students, and being called on by the teachers at any time.

After a busy semester, your teacher will remember you as a hardworking class committee member.

But if you win a prize in a college competition within a month of starting school, the way your teachers remember you will be completely different.

Especially in the computer science department...

Ultimately, this is a place where ability is extremely important.

I can write the code, and I can complete the project.

A good performance in a competition is more direct than any class committee title.

Lu Xing leaned back in his chair, his fingertips lightly tapping the table.

The Computer Science Department holds an on-campus programming competition shortly after freshmen enroll.

Although it's called a competition, it's actually a selection process.

The college will use this competition to select a group of students with good thinking skills from the freshmen and bring them into the teachers' view in advance.

In the future, whether it's for training the college team or for national programming competitions or the Blue Bridge Cup, these students will be given priority in selection.

Lu Xing, in his previous life, of course did not participate.

At that time, he hadn't even figured out his major courses yet.

I later found out that the prize money for that competition was ridiculously high.

First place, 20,000;

Second place, 10,000.

Even at a prestigious university like Jiangcheng University, this is not a small number.

This is definitely a major development, at least for freshmen.

When Lu Xing heard about this, he remarked to his roommate:

"Wow, the school is really rich."

It wasn't until he entered society that he gradually came to understand.

The academy is willing to spend this money not just for aesthetic reasons.

Computer science is quite different from many other majors; if you want to learn it well, textbooks alone are not enough.

A good computer is almost a necessity.

However, not every student's family can easily afford to spend several thousand or tens of thousands of yuan to buy their child a high-performance laptop.

In his previous life, Lu Xing bought a computer by working part-time and with some money from his parents.

Unfortunately, that computer was almost exclusively used for playing games.

Some impoverished students are not without talent.

When they first enrolled, they couldn't even keep up with the most basic equipment.

So the only option was to spend money at internet cafes, but the computers there weren't very good for serious work.

It would be a great loss for the academy to bury truly promising individuals for this reason.

Twenty thousand yuan is enough to buy a high-performance and portable laptop.

There will still be some money left, enough for the student to live on for a while.

Jiangcheng University is certainly not stingy in this regard.

It has a solid foundation and is willing to invest real money in attracting talent.

However, the difficulty of the competition is also unlikely to be low.

The threshold is not low for freshmen who have just entered university.

But for Lu Xing now, this is actually an opportunity.

He dared not say that after his rebirth, he would immediately be able to crush all the algorithm competition contestants.

Work experience and algorithm competitions are not the same thing.

But at least, his programming fundamentals, way of thinking, and debugging skills far surpass those of the average freshman.

With some preparation, you might just get a good ranking.

More importantly, this competition can solve two things at the same time.

First, the bonus.

Second, make sure the teacher remembers him.

Compared to spending a lot of time dealing with trivial matters as a class committee member, participating in competitions is clearly more in line with his plans.

Lu Xing looked up at Chen Jing on the podium.

The class committee election was nearing its end.

There were candidates for several positions, and the voting results were quickly obtained.

Chen Jing wrote down the list and gave a few more instructions.

"There will be more notifications later, so please pay attention to the group messages."

"Also, if there is an emergency during military training, don't try to tough it out; find your instructor or class representative immediately."

"At the beginning of university, things will be quite complicated, so let's all work together."

She closed the documents in her hand and glanced at the time.

That's about it.

"Does anyone else have a question?"

No one spoke in the classroom.

Most people's faces already screamed those four words.

I want to go back to my dorm~

Chen Jing nodded.

That concludes today's class meeting.

"Class committee members, please stay behind for a moment. The rest of you can go ahead."

The sound of chairs being dragged around suddenly filled the classroom.

Some people stretched, some looked down at their phones, and others started discussing what to eat for dinner.

Lu Xing did not get up immediately.

He looked at Chen Jing, who was organizing the list on the podium, and had already made up his mind.

He needs to confirm the competition details.

After all, many things have changed in this lifetime.

His dormitory changed, and Lin Yuanzhou became his roommate.

Even the school beauty inexplicably entered his life.

Will the challenge from the previous life be held as usual in this life?

If he's still around, he'll have to find a way to register.

Lu Xing put the pen into his schoolbag and slowly stood up.

He glanced at Chen Jing on the podium.

If the game is still going on.

He had no reason not to accept the 20,000 yuan.
