Chapter 38: The Magnificent Mocheng Nengneng University! Luxurious Dorms!

Since the other party had said so, Liu Qian and Sun Rui understood.

If they didn’t accept these two tickets, it would seem overly pretentious.

So after sincerely thanking him, they accepted the two general admission tickets.

As the director of admissions for Mocheng Nengneng University, Zhang Zhaoyang had plenty of experience with college application forms.

Along the way, he gave Liu Qian and Sun Rui numerous suggestions regarding their application choices.

For example, which schools in Mocheng might expand enrollment this year, or which schools might lower their admission scores.

Such insider information was completely inaccessible to ordinary people.

Thus, besides being delighted, Liu Qian and Sun Rui felt immensely fortunate to have met Xu Jingming on the road.

Otherwise, they could never have accessed such confidential information.

The off-road vehicle sped along and soon entered the Mocheng University City.

Finally, it stopped in front of the main gate of Mocheng Nengneng University.

“I’ll go park first; wait here for me.”

After dropping off Xu Jingming and the others, Zhang Zhaoyang went alone to park the car.

Xu Jingming seized this chance to observe the top-tier university before him.

Back in Jiangcheng, he had researched Mocheng Nengneng University online.

He knew the university was built in a grand style.

But when the school truly appeared before him, he felt stunned.

Just the gate he could see was over a hundred meters wide!

The flat cement road beneath could easily accommodate dozens of cars passing side by side!

Its height was nearly ten meters!

Across the massive gate, in bold, swirling characters, were written the six words: “Mocheng Nengneng University.”

Under the midday sun, they shimmered brilliantly.

“Damn, even the gate is this grand—what’s the inside going to look like?”

Xu Jingming finally understood why so many applicants dreamed of elite universities.

Beyond their deep academic heritage, simply passing through such a magnificent gate daily was a visual pleasure.

At the same time, Xu Jingming couldn’t help but look forward to his four-year campus life.

Beside him, Liu Qian and Sun Rui were equally awed by the grandeur of Mocheng Nengneng University.

They stared at the gate without blinking.

“How’s that? Impressive, right?”

At that moment, Zhang Zhaoyang, having parked the car, appeared beside them with a smile.

He loved seeing new students stunned by the school.

This was one reason he chose to personally pick up Xu Jingming.

“Our Mocheng Nengneng University covers 26 square kilometers; this gate suits it perfectly.”

Zhang Zhaoyang’s next sentence made Liu Qian’s mouth drop open and her eyes widen:

“26 square kilometers?! I remember your university only admits a thousand freshmen each year.

Even adding all four grades, there are only a few thousand students—how can so few people occupy such a huge space?!”

Liu Qian knew Mocheng Nengneng University was large, but she never imagined it was 26 square kilometers!

That’s nearly half the size of a county town!

And such a vast area housed only a few thousand people!

Remember, this was Mocheng—where every square meter was priceless!

For a school to have this much land was almost fantastical!

“It’s not that few—teachers and staff combined number over ten thousand; per capita land area is about 2,600 square meters.”

Zhang Zhaoyang’s casual use of “just” made Liu Qian and Sun Rui’s eyes burn with envy.

What an astonishing number—2,600 square meters per person?

In ordinary universities, even one percent of that would be considered excellent!

Amid all this shock, Liu Qian and Sun Rui were led into Mocheng Nengneng University.

When they finally came to their senses, Xu Jingming was already waving goodbye:

“I told Teacher Zhang you can tour the campus freely.

But once you leave, you can’t re-enter. Well then, we’ll part ways here.

I hope you both get into your dream universities.”

For Liu Qian, whose aesthetic standards perfectly matched Xu Jingming’s height and appearance, it was impossible not to have feelings for him.

But watching his figure walk away with Zhang Zhaoyang,

she mustered all her courage yet still couldn’t call out to ask for his contact information.

“In the end... we’re not from the same world.”

Liu Qian shook her head.

She was merely from an ordinary family; to Xu Jingming, who had Mocheng Nengneng University send someone to pick him up, she was just a passing stranger.

To have met once was already lucky—seeking anything deeper was pure fantasy...

“Xiao Qian, I know who Xu Jingming is!”

Suddenly, Sun Rui cried out beside her, holding her phone up to Liu Qian’s face:

“I thought he looked familiar—he’s the provincial top scorer from Jiangnan Province!”

“So it’s him!”

Looking at the news articles and photos of Xu Jingming on Sun Rui’s phone,

Liu Qian finally connected Xu Jingming with the provincial top scorer who had dominated headlines across Jiangnan Province.

“So he chose Mocheng Nengneng University—that’s why a teacher came to pick him up.”

Though the internet had been buzzing, seeing him in person didn’t guarantee recognition.

That was a common human reaction—Liu Qian was no exception.

Online, there had been no confirmed news about which university Xu Jingming would choose.

Yet he had already chosen Mocheng Nengneng University—and was already checking in.

“Indeed, we’re not from the same world.”

Learning his true identity, Liu Qian felt unexpectedly at ease; she smiled and pulled her friend Sun Rui’s arm:

“Come on, we only get in once—let’s explore properly!”

With the director of admissions guiding him, Xu Jingming’s enrollment proceeded without a single obstacle.

In just over half an hour, all procedures were completed.

He received his student ID and dormitory key.

Xu Jingming had already been stunned once by Mocheng Nengneng University’s main gate.

But when he saw his dormitory, he was stunned again.

He had seen many dorms in his past life, having graduated with a Ph.D.

He had even changed universities three times and lived in three or four different dorms.

He’d stayed in four-person rooms, single rooms, even three-bedroom apartments reserved for Ph.D. students!

But he had never seen a university that used villas as dorms!

The villa before him looked even more luxurious than the one he’d lived in back in Jiangcheng!

Now Xu Jingming finally understood why Mocheng Nengneng University’s land area was so vast.

These villas for students alone probably took up nearly half the campus!
