8 ~ 9_7

I tidied up my emotions. I would know tomorrow whether it was good news or bad news. I calmed my heart and started my daily heart-training homework—Hang upside down. There was an iron beam in my bedroom. It was not used for hanging clothes, but to let me hang upside down. This homework had started under the coercion of my parents since I was young. I even had to practice the Heart Cleansing Incantation. Every time, it made me feel extremely disgusted. In the end, no secret manuals were passed down from my ancestors like in novels. Every time, it was exhausting and very uncomfortable. Fortunately, the training duration got shorter and shorter. Ever since I became an adult, I had hardly done this. However, when my mood fluctuated excessively, I had to do this. Mom said so.

This damn Heart-Cleansing Incantation makes my body feel soft. It's time to go online after taking a shower.

"Xiaomao, are you there?"

"Boss, I'm busy right now. If there's anything, we can talk later." I fainted. What could he possibly be busy with now? He's probably hitting on that pretty girl called 'Catty Cat' again. Sigh.

"Big Fool, what are you doing?"

"Ah, it's Boss. I'm leveling up, and Small Fool is also here. There are very few people now, and we're charging wildly. What's the matter?"

"Oh, you guys go ahead. It's nothing." These two guys only knew how to level up all day long, but the effect was very obvious. They were already one of the few experts in the Demon Palace. I had no choice but to take my hat off to them.

"Dumbo, what are you doing?"

"Boss, I'm mining. My miner level is almost full, but that NPC old man is really abnormal. He insisted that I dig a secret gold mine for him before he would let me level up. It's so tough!" It seemed that it was boring over there.

I wanted to ask Xin Qing and the rest but decided against it. I still had to avoid arousing suspicion. There were many people pursuing them in the guild. If I go, wouldn't I be a third wheel? Forget it, forget it. There was still Catfish left. "Catfish, what are you doing?"

"Boss, I've got a C-level mission with Centaur and the others. We're going to explore a grave. Do you want to come along?" This mission was not fun. It was unlucky. I still had to go and see the results tomorrow. It was better not to go.

"Oh, you guys go ahead. I won't be going. I have something to do tomorrow." After going around and finding nothing to do, I went offline.

Feeling a little hungry, I opened the fridge. It was empty, so I went to the supermarket to buy something. Nowadays, supermarkets weren't manned by robots. There was a time when they were, but later on, for some reason, all the robots were sent to the waste recycling station to be disposed of. Humans were on duty again. I felt that this was better. The cold machines didn't have any humanity.

What if I don't get accepted tomorrow? I'm really frustrated. Ah, I want to kill myself.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. I was thinking about something just now." It was a shy big boy who looked to be 17 or 18. Eh, it seemed like I wasn't old either.

"It's fine, it's fine. I was at fault too. Oh, you're playing Second World too?" I looked at the virtual helmet in his hand.

Big Boy scratched his head. "Hehe, this is a new helmet. I'm going to bring it to school to use. Why? Do you play it too?

"Oh, I'm an old player too. What level are you now?" I should be considered an old hand. After all, I was already Level 82.

"I've only played for a week. I'm now a Level-26 priest called Fluttering Wind, from Nuwa City," his eyes beamed as he spoke about games.

"Oh, I've trained a mage. He's from Yan Huang City. His name is Soul Eater. Come and play when you're free. I'll leave first. Goodbye." I looked at the time, it was getting late.

"Goodbye." "Ah, Soul Eater is so familiar. Where have I heard of him before?" Fluttering Wind shook his head. Forget it, I'll ask around when I go online.

It was a sunny day; it was a good sign. I got into my "Benz" automatic car and drove unsteadily to the subway station. I was dizzy. It seemed that this old antique should be eliminated.

"Ah, Snow, Babe, you're both here?" I thought I was early.

"Who's like you, lazy bum?" It was rare for Babe to wake up early.

Snow tidied her hair that was blown by the wind. "Hubby, let's go. If we're late, there will be a lot of people."

Sitting in Snow's latest BMW sports car, this FT200 model was made of space-grade metal from top to bottom. It had a satellite-guided system and a small smart computer built in. Of course, the configuration inside was the best. The exterior adopted cutting techniques and laser spokes. It was a perfect combination of masculinity and softness. I heard that there were only 500 cars released worldwide. It was really cool. Snow's original name was Feng Snow. Her father's Jinghua Group was one of the top ten business groups in our country. She could be said to be a proud daughter of heaven. In such an environment, she did not have the slightest air of having been indulgently pampered. I had to say that my father-in-law taught his daughter well. Babe's original name was Lu Little Snow. She came from a military family. Although she didn't say anything, I was sure that it wasn't that simple. Snow and Babe were family friends. Fortunately, both of them were women and could only become sisters. If they were a man and a woman, I wouldn't have a chance and would have to continue singing the love songs of singles.

How should I put it? The first perception that the Unified Academy gave me was that it was a perfect combination of modern and classical architecture. The disparity between modern and classical architecture did not feel out of place. Instead, there was a sense of history which made people look up to it. The overall conclusion was—so opulent! Such a huge project had to be described as terrifying. The government had really invested a lot of money, but the outcome was also very obvious. As one of the best universities in the world, countless people came to take the exams here every year because if you graduated from here, you would get directly into the upper-class society. Why was the word 'graduation' used here? It was very simple. This school was famous for its extremely low percentage of graduates. The school's policy was that every graduate was the elite of the elites. If you did not meet the graduation requirements, you had two options. One was to go home. The other was to pay a high tuition fee and continue studying. However, the tuition fee would become higher and higher. The maximum period was three years. If you could not graduate after three years, you could only get a certificate of learning to open the way. However, this certificate could also get you a comfortable position.
