Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Glory Returns Home! The Elite University Recruitment War!
Boom——!
On the rooftop in Jiangcheng, a level five base city, stood a few individuals who represented the pinnacle of power and strength.
They all felt a buzzing in their brains.
Then their minds went completely blank!
It wasn’t until the deafening cheers and applause erupted from the street below that they realized.
This isn’t a dream!
This is real!
Their Jiangcheng has produced a dragon!
After the initial shock, Wang Dahai wiped his eyes and looked up at the golden list in the sky again.
Upon reconfirming the name at the top was Lin Yi.
He murmured to himself, "Is it really... really him? Could it be a duplicate name...?"
Beside him, Jiang Xian smacked his large belly, eyes red and voice trembling, "How could there be a duplicate at the provincial level!!"
"It says Dongjiang sent to the exam, are you blind!"
"Out of the ten people our Dongjiang Province sent to participate in the fifth round, is there another Lin Yi???"
Jiang Xian’s words rang like a great bell, completely waking everyone up!
He, dispelled the last bit of doubt in everyone’s hearts!
"Wow——!!"
Zuo Qian, who had just recovered, burst into tears like a child.
Only, everyone knew, these were tears of joy!
A top scorer!
The national top scorer!!
What did their Jiangcheng do to deserve such a favored youth!
...
Back to Lin Yi.
The luxury car slowly drove through the crowded avenue.
Through countless voices, Lin Yi heard his own name.
Fireworks bloomed, the golden list was dazzling.
According to Li Yuanjing, this golden list would remain until after midnight before disappearing.
He was truly happy.
But truly tired as well.
Lin Yi yawned, closed his eyes, and listened to the fireworks and noise outside the car window, taking a short nap.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already at the hotel.
As soon as he entered, Lin Yi was struck by the grandeur of the hotel lobby.
This was beyond what traditional five-star hotels could compare to; Lin Yi even saw two or three king-tier marine creatures in the aquarium on the right side of the lobby.
With Li Yuanjing’s arrangements, the check-in process was swiftly completed.
The two entered the elevator, and Li Yuanjing said, "I’ve already instructed the hotel’s kitchen to make three or four home-cooked dishes on our way here, they should be ready in your room upon arrival."
"I’ll be waiting for you in the lobby tomorrow morning; just wake up naturally and come down, then we’ll head back to Dongjiang together."
Lin Yi thanked, "Mr. Li, this journey must have been troublesome for you, thank you."
Lin Yi’s gratitude was sincere.
After all, Li Yuanjing was the vice-head of a provincial education bureau.
Handling matters personally on this trip that should have been done by his subordinates.
This showed how much importance he placed on Lin Yi.
"No need to thank me, it’s my duty, considering you brought such an honor back to Dongjiang!"
"I should be the one thanking you instead!"
"By the way, I’m staying next door to you, if there’s anything tonight, feel free to find me."
Exiting the elevator, they arrived at their room door.
Li Yuanjing nodded to Lin Yi.
Swiped his room card first and entered his room.
Lin Yi opened the door.
Once again astounded by the hotel’s luxuriousness.
He initially thought that the suite Li Yuanjing mentioned would just be a large bedroom with a few practical rooms.
Little did he know that upon entering, he saw an incredibly spacious living room.
On the dining table in the living room, a few dishes freshly off the stove, still steaming.
The suite spans three levels in total, with large floor-to-ceiling windows at the end of the living room overlooking the night view of the Imperial Capital.
Is this how the big shots live?
This is incredibly extravagant!
The aroma of food wafted in; although he previously enjoyed Lin You’s culinary skills before heading to Noah’s wreckage, he was genuinely hungry now.
Thinking of Lin You, Lin Yi let his consciousness sink into the Undead Space.
Found the girl already asleep.
Her lashes even trembled slightly with each breath.
Lin Yi decided not to disturb her.
Originally wanting to call her out to eat together.
Now he could only devour three large bowls tearfully.
After wolfing down the food, Lin Yi set down the chopsticks, went to the second-floor bathroom, and enjoyed a good soak.
Then he lay down on the bed that was exclusively his.
The ultimate relaxation brought an excellent sleep.
When he woke up again, it was nearly 10 a.m. the next day.
Lin Yi stretched, climbed out of bed.
Sleeping until 10 a.m. felt amazingly great!
Much better than getting up early at eight!
After washing up, Lin Yi didn’t have any luggage to pack.
He went down to the hotel lobby, met up with Li Yuanjing, and had breakfast together.
They checked out, left the hotel, and were provided a special car service.
Heading to the Imperial Capital’s Teleportation Hall.
Half an hour later.
Lin Yi and Li Yuanjing finally returned to the entrance of Dongjiang Education Bureau.
Upon stepping into the lobby of the Education Bureau building’s first floor, something unexpected happened for Lin Yi and Li Yuanjing!
"It’s Deputy Director Li!!"
"He’s back!!"
"The person next to him... right! It’s Lin Yi!!"
"It’s him, this year’s national top scorer!"
First, a few people cried out.
Then Lin Yi and Li Yuanjing saw a large crowd rushing towards them!
The next moment, countless microphones and cameras were pointed at Li Yuanjing and Lin Yi!
"Deputy Director Li, Dongjiang produced a national top scorer this year, would you like to share a statement?"
"Deputy Director Li, is that Lin Yi, the national top scorer this year, beside you?"
"We’re reporters from Dongjiang Satellite TV, could we have Lin Yi say a few words to us?"
Facing microphones almost shoved into his face, Li Yuanjing was taken aback.
But instinctively, out of a desire to protect Lin Yi, he stood in front of him, trying to block out the already quite hysterical media reporters.
Just as Li Yuanjing was about to speak.
He suddenly widened his pupils in shock!
Because he realized that those crowding them weren’t just reporters and media personnel.
There were also several powerful professionals wearing special academy uniforms!
These people...
Holy crap!
Li Yuanjing immediately recognized some of the vocational academies among those present.
Besides a few 211 and 985 schools from Dongjiang province.
There were even top-ranked universities in the nation’s top ten present!
How did they get here so fast??
Could it be to recruit?
This is too crazy!
University recruitment usually follows a very rigorous process.
Much like what Lin Yi understood in his previous life.
After the national college entrance exam ends, and results are announced.
The next step is for candidates to fill in their desired majors.
And after submitting applications, whether they get accepted by their desired institutions involves rounds of screening and selection by the respective universities.
In this situation, with them all rushing directly to the scene like this.
Li Yuanjing considered another possibility.
That would be—
Special recruitment!!
A process where colleges directly invite a student to enroll without going through the application process.
For students across the Xia, this is an immense honor!
And today, Lin Yi seems to be receiving more than one special recruitment offer.
But dozens!
