My career has infinite upgrades.

"Gu Qing, if you come to our school, we'll assign you two senior female students to accompany you, plus a reward of five million energy crystals and a C-level resource package."

"Come to our Wudong University, and we'll immediately assign you two alien female students to accompany you. You can choose any of them, like elves or succubi. Ten million energy crystals, plus a B-grade resource pack."

"Can you guys have any shame? Are you trying to test some naive top scorer in the college entrance exam? Come to our school, and we'll provide you with all the university resources, plus a teacher with the A-rank Lich Lord profession as your mentor. Just so you know, she's our school's number one beautiful mentor."

Just moments ago, the admissions officers were saying that Gu Qing became the top scorer in the college entrance examination entirely because of the Desert Undead Dragon, and that he was completely unworthy of entering their university. Now, they are vying for him with great effort.

Regardless of the circumstances, Gu Qing is a top scorer in the college entrance examination. Recruiting a top scorer can not only increase the school's reputation but also secure some preferential resources.

Naturally, people will fight over them.

The admissions officers from the top three schools remained calm and didn't say a word.

Only after all the admissions officers had finished speaking did Li Liqun, an admissions officer from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, slowly begin to speak.

"Gu Qing, let me introduce myself. I am Li Liqun, an admissions officer from Tsinghua and Peking Universities. You know how prestigious Tsinghua and Peking Universities are; their reputation as the top universities in the country is well-deserved."

"However, this year our admission benefits for Tsinghua and Peking Universities have been reduced, so I can only give five million energy crystals, plus a B-level resource package."

"Although the benefits I'm giving you aren't many, you should know that the resources Tsinghua and Peking University receive each year are unmatched by other universities. Coming to Tsinghua or Peking University is definitely your best choice."

Gu Qing's eyes flickered. The mere reputation of Tsinghua and Peking Universities was enough to draw countless candidates to their doorsteps.

Most of the top scorers in a province will probably go on to Tsinghua or Peking University, so the rewards offered by Tsinghua and Peking University won't be too generous.

However, in Gu Qing's eyes, Tsinghua and Peking Universities are not so indispensable.

Because his undead class system focuses on massing units and increasing his own strength, it can be said that without this style, there would be no corresponding mentors to teach him, and the educational resources of Tsinghua and Peking Universities would not be fully utilized.

A teacher from the admissions office of Shanghai University scoffed, "Is this all the sincerity Tsinghua and Peking University have to offer? Look at your poor and shabby appearance. You call that 'prestige'? It's not even as good as real gold and white gold."

"Gu Qing, come to our Shanghai University and we'll give you an A-level resource package, plus 20 million energy crystals."

Gu Qing's expression shifted slightly. An A-level resource package, plus 20 million energy crystals—that was indeed a display of wealth and power.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the most financially powerful university in Shanghai.

Just then, the admissions officer from Jinling Academy, who had been silent until now, spoke up.

It was only then that Gu Qing realized that the admissions officer at Jinling Academy was actually a rare elf-to-human hybrid.

Over the millennia, many different races have appeared, some hostile and some friendly. Many of these races have intermarried with humans, giving birth to mixed-race children.

Among them, elven-hybrids are the most numerous.

The admissions officer at Jinling Academy was a female elven-mixed-race woman, tall with delicate features, slightly pointed ears, and other elven characteristics.

"Gu Qing, let me introduce myself. My name is Isaacine, and I am an admissions officer at Jinling Academy."

"You are probably familiar with our Jinling Academy. We can give you an A-level cultivation resource pack, plus five million energy crystals, and a unique item that suits you."

"I don't know if Gu Qing is aware of the differences in the university system, but personally, I think Jinling University is the most suitable university for you."

Gu Qing's eyes flickered; he was naturally familiar with Jinling Academy.

A top-ten powerhouse in the Dragon Kingdom, and the university established by the United Military.

Although it was established relatively late, it has made rapid progress and has entered the top three universities in just one hundred years.

But which one is most suitable for me?

"Teacher, what do you mean by 'most suitable for me'?" Gu Qing asked directly.

Upon hearing this, Isabelle said directly, "Gu Qing, you may not be familiar with how universities allocate resources."

"Apart from Nanjing University, other universities, such as Tsinghua and Peking University, all implement a mentor assignment system."

"In other words, resources are given to the mentors, who then distribute them to their students."

"The advantage of this is that it can increase the bond between mentors and students, improve their teamwork skills, and allow mentors to allocate resources according to the students' needs."

"However, the downside is that the mentor has too much say in resource allocation. If you have a falling out with your mentor, you may receive far fewer resources."

"Especially for you, Gu Qing, the necromancy major has very few mentors and little say. If you were at another university, it would be very difficult to obtain resources."

At this point, Isalien paused for a moment before continuing, "In contrast, there is the system of our Jinling Academy."

"As you know, Gu Qing, our Jinling Academy was jointly founded by Lin Lei, who ranks seventh in the country in combat strength, and the military. We believe in the principle of respecting strength."

"At Jinling Academy, there is a points system and a leaderboard system. As long as you accumulate points and are listed on the leaderboard, we can provide not only A-level resources, but also S-level and SS-level resources."

"We knew your background before we came. You have no power or influence, so Jinling Academy is the most suitable school for you."

Hearing Isalien's words, Gu Qing's eyes flickered slightly.

What Isalienne said is generally correct.

Universities like Tsinghua and Peking University implement a mentorship system.

This system was very good at the beginning. Mentors guided new students, similar to a master-disciple relationship, which greatly increased cohesion and allowed resources to be allocated according to the students' situation.

However, over the past thousand years, social classes have become more rigid, and the mentorship system has lost some of its original meaning.

For example, the resources that a person who knows the mentor and a person who doesn't know the mentor can obtain from the mentor are completely different.

The situation at Jinling Academy is indeed more suitable for me.

After all, one's career can be continuously advanced; all that's needed is resources, not mentorship.

Just then, Isabelle got up and came to Gu Qing's side.

She opened her palm, and with a flash of her spatial ring, a wooden box appeared in her hand.

"Gu Qing, here is the rare item I mentioned that's suitable for you. Why don't you open it and take a look before making a decision?"

Gu Qing's expression shifted slightly as he looked at the wooden box in Eliza's hand.

Judging from Isalien's expression, the strange object in the wooden box must be very suitable for her.

Gu Qing took the wooden box and opened it directly.

A talisman with purple patterns on its black surface came into view.
