One day later, the registration meeting.
"Student Zhou Chuan, come to our Yanbei. With your talent, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself!"
"I still say the same thing, you won't suffer any loss when you come to the fortress, and you won't be fooled when you come to the fortress! The ratio of men to women is 3 to 7, so it's better to act than to be tempted!"
"Come to my Nantian University and become a master!"
"There's no need to introduce Beimang. It's our home. Those who understand will understand!"
"Except for those five colleges, our Sand City is the closest to the ruins. Student Zhou Chuan, you must think twice! Would a serious person enroll in a university just because of a 3:7 male-to-female ratio?"
"You're trying to pull me down, huh? Are you guys from Sand City so brave? Come out and fight me in a duel! Hit me! Come on!"
"… "
Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Zhou Chuan couldn't help but press his temples.
In his previous life, he could never have dreamed that one day he would be robbed by so many people.
But now, the reality is before him, and he has to believe it even if he doesn't want to.
"They are annoying, aren't they?" A lazy voice came from the side.
"A little bit." Zhou Chuan answered truthfully.
"Come to our college." the man continued.
"oh?"
Zhou Chuan couldn't help but smile, thinking that this person was also here to recruit students, so he turned his head towards the source of the voice and saw a short, young-looking boy, or rather a young man, who was silently watching him from the side.
Feeling the restlessness of the four masters in his heart, Zhou Chuan couldn't help but frowned slightly. The guy in front of him... is not a simple person.
"Hello, junior. My name is Zhu Yanbei. It's a weird name, isn't it? In fact, I am very satisfied with this name. If it weren't for the fact that the characters created by our ancestors are almost all used up and it is very troublesome to create new ones, who knows what characters the elders in my family would have given me."
It was not known whether this senior student Zhu Yanbei was a bit talkative or just naturally felt close to Zhou Chuan, but he just complained to Zhou Chuan with a calm face, as if they were old friends reminiscing about the past after not seeing each other for many years.
"Periodic table... Senior, are you the descendant of the founder?" Zhou Chuan asked.
"Has it become a meme? This is the bad taste of our ancestors." Zhu Yanbei gathered her loose medium-length hair into a ponytail and said, "Not much to say. I came here this time to pick up your... Oh, I can't say that. It probably means that we will be a family from now on."
"Senior, are you so sure that I will join your college?" Zhou Chuan said softly.
"Since you can guess which family I come from, I think you can guess which college we belong to, right?"
"Meishan, Zhuxia?"
Seeing the other party nod slightly, Zhou Chuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, dark creatures descended from the cracks, and all living things were devastated and the land of China sank.
The desperate Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to come under a crooked tree in Coal Hill and try to commit suicide. However, he did not expect that this crooked tree was not as simple as it seemed.
What is Chinese romance
As early as Zhou Chuan's previous life, this crooked tree with rough and cracked bark and crooked branches was as famous as the world tree in Norse legend - Yggdrasil.
Maybe I just can't bear to be lonely. You are a tree and so am I. You are famous and so am I. Why do you know everything in the world while I am just a crooked neck that is laughed at by others
Therefore, in this parallel world, the crooked tree also has magical features, directly connecting to one of the most vast ruins in the land of Kyushu. Emperor Chongzhen took out the first card in human history from it, and is therefore regarded as the ancestor by card players all over the world.
Since then, this crooked tree, like Onepiece in the One Piece world, has become the most mysterious and majestic place in the hearts of all card players.
Zhou Chuan is of course no exception.
Crooked trees and such are so cool!
On the other side, Zhu Yanbei thought that Zhou Chuan was doubting his identity, so he took out a certificate from his mind and handed it over. It had all kinds of red stamps and signatures, as well as the alliance's unique identity logo. It couldn't be more real.
"Zhu Xia..." Zhou Chuan took a deep breath and chuckled, "Please give me more guidance in the future."
"Okay, okay." Zhu Yanbei smiled, took out the admission letter from his heart and handed it to Zhou Chuan.
To put it bluntly, it's just a piece of A4 paper with a few clichés written on it in black gel pen. It's not as fancy as those in other schools.
"You, this little classmate has an extraordinary face. I can tell at first glance that he is destined to be with our Fortress! Of course, there are different levels of fate. How many points did this little classmate get in the college entrance examination?" The admissions director of Fortress University said to Zhu Yanbei with a smile.
"I haven't taken the college entrance examination." Zhu Yanbei combed her ponytail and said leisurely, "I was directly recommended for admission."
"Admission by recommendation?" Upon hearing this, Director Mediterranean's interest instantly dropped by half.
Seeing the other person's expression, Zhu Yanbei couldn't help but narrow his eyes and smiled gently, "Actually, we are in the same industry. I am also here to recruit students, and classmate Zhou Chuan has already agreed."
"You are kidding, little classmate..." Director Mediterranean was about to refute subconsciously, but then he took the certificate handed over by the other party and flipped it open, and decisively swallowed the rest of the words: "So you are the genius of Zhuxia College, no wonder you are so handsome."
"Thank you very much." Zhu Yanbei replied with a smile.
"Hey, you four, let's go and have some food!" Director Mediterranean tidied his sparse hair and patted the shoulders of the other four admissions staff members.
"Why are you leaving when you haven't even recruited anyone?"
"All the people in the Xia Dynasty are here, are you still staying here to be a joke?"
"Oh, let's go. I know a nearby shop that makes really good pork elbows..."
Seeing the five people walking away, Zhou Chuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "To be honest, Senior, I thought that the other nine schools in the Ten Schools Association might send people here, including Wenjian, Fengshan, Youdu, and Songshan. I just didn't think Zhuxia would come."
"You are so talented. The dean has given us a death order. We have to tie you up, or else we will break your legs."
Zhu Yanbei jumped down from the podium, pulled Zhou Chuan's sleeve, and motioned him to follow him: "Senior, I'll treat you to barbecue."
"good."
Zhou Chuan nodded slightly and followed silently, then heard the other party say faintly: "Fortunately, you set out a little earlier. If you had followed the will of that lazy dog at home, you would have been fooled by those people in Youdu."
"Youdu?"
"Yes, since you won first place in that competition a while ago, Youdu has started paying attention to you. It is said that their dean is very satisfied with a post you posted."
"this… "
"As for the other three families, Fengshan is too righteous, Songshan is too weird, and Wenjian is too mean. Basically, they will not come to you. The lazy dog in our family was even rejected by Wenjian."
"Lazy dog?"
"It was one of our seniors. When he told us about this incident, he looked as aggrieved as a pug that had been kicked. It was so funny."
“This description… is very spiritual.”
