Can you get into a junior college?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try it and see; by the way, Brother Hai, we have some school registration stuff to do; which computer here is the safest? I need to log in to the 'Provincial Examination Institute'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Hai thought for a while and said: \"Then use mine; I can't guarantee the others are clean.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Hai trusted Zhai Da very much; he had been an internet cafe manager for almost ten years, and it was almost like watching Zhai Da grow up; at this time of day, there were basically no customers to open machines, so he simply gave his seat to Zhai Da and went out to buy breakfast directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da moved another chair, and the two of them sat behind the bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the browser, searched for the URL, and then logged in to the \"Provincial Education Examination Institute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the official website, but it was quite rudimentary, the kind that didn't even have a template, but it was the lifeline for countless students in the province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For students in this era, they basically didn't need to log in to this website themselves; these things hadn't been on the internet for many years, and in most cases, they were handled in batches by schools and units at all levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just like he told Lu Wei last night, everyone has the right to take the college entrance exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people in the news every year who \"go to college with their son,\" \"take the college entrance exam for the twentieth time,\" or \"have a grandma move into the dormitory\" all came from this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as you have proof of high school or equivalent education, you can register to participate; it used to be at relevant departments in various places, but now you can do it on the internet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Even if you haven't finished nine-year compulsory education, you can take a test at the education department to prove equivalent education.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lu Wei didn't take the college entrance exam, she had a \"High School Graduation Certificate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's called graduation, but the corresponding exam, in order not to affect the college entrance exam sprint, is actually conducted in the second semester of the second year of high school, called the \"General High School Academic Level Qualification Exam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difficulty is extremely low, with a national pass rate of 95%, basically just going through the motions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei's graduation certificate was usually kept in a bag with other documents, and it was taken out when she was kicked out that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da found the registration link; first, he had to help Lu Wei register for the \"Subject Grade Test,\" and then register for the college entrance exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, these \"checkpoints\" closed application\u002Fmodification permissions very early, but this year, due to the arrival of the 08 new regulations, they were significantly postponed (each province is different, formulated by themselves).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Lu Wei's graduation certificate, Zhai Da entered the corresponding student ID, a sixteen-digit string containing uppercase letters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he entered the ID number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filled in basic information... the path was correct, generated an initial account and initial password, and then logged in again...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a series of operations, Lu Wei officially registered for the \"Subject Grade Test,\" including physics on the same day as the college entrance exam, and \"chemistry and biology\" next month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was a social registration, the admission ticket would be sent by postal express, and Zhai Da filled in the address directly at Sanmao Residential Area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly remembered a meme about the 08 new regulations from his previous life; after that messy summer ended, someone complained online that they should mobilize all adults to register for the subject grade test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the elective subjects (physics\u002Fhistory) score in the top 20% of the province gets an A, as long as all the dads, moms, grandpas, and grandmas in the family register and hand in blank papers, they could ensure that every child in the province gets an A.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was just a joke; no one could really mobilize so many people, and the authorities wouldn't really allow such a mess; it wouldn't be too easy for the rule-makers to patch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, what he and Lu Wei needed to face was the compulsory subject grade next month; based on absolute scores, only those above 90 points could get an A; Lu Wei should be steady, as for himself... he had to work hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, it was the college entrance exam registration, also operated on the Examination Institute's official website, but it was more rigorous; Lu Wei needed to go to the local education department offline for real-name authentication and listen to relevant briefings, and the admission ticket also had to be collected offline by the person themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before logging out, Zhai Da also changed the initial password.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After doing all this, Zhai Da let out a long breath, and Lu Wei also felt that a major event had been completed, her mind feeling a bit more relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Hai didn't know when he had come back from breakfast, observing Zhai Da and his \"girlfriend\" secretly; seeing that Zhai Da was done, he said: \"Finished?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da nodded: \"Thanks, Brother Hai, confirm the computer is safe, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Hai smiled: \"Thinking quite a lot; I've been tinkering with this computer for several years, it's cleaner than the vast majority of computers on the market, and I clean it deeply every week.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Hai handed over two starch sausages, and Zhai Da didn't stand on ceremony, sharing one with Lu Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You kid, isn't it a bit late to start studying at this point? I see that kid Wu Yue has already given up, watching cartoons here every day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da said: \"The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, the second best time is now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He originally wanted to use this cliché famous quote to make a joke, but didn't expect Brother Hai to nod seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, that makes sense... Xiao Da, if you have the chance, you still have to fight for it, even if it's just getting into a junior college?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be like me; when I was studying, I thought studying was useless; only after I stopped studying did I know that the useless one was myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da only knew a rough idea of Brother Hai's story, so he could only comfort him formally: \"Don't say that, all roads lead to Rome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Hai mocked himself: \"Do you know what kind of people I envy the most?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... college students?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not it; college students are also quite stupid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I envy those who are knowledgeable and have a broad vision; unlike me, hiding in an internet cafe for ten years, dark and gloomy, day and night reversed... never even left Dongyang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, you can also travel more.\" Zhai Da suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But being knowledgeable and improving your vision costs money; if you don't have money, you can only be tied to your work like a dog; where do ordinary people like us have the chance? The best and fairest opportunity in this life is actually just studying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Hai lit a Red Su cigarette and took a breath:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The tuition for Qingbei University is only 5000 yuan a year; think about it, what a cheap opportunity to change your life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da shook his head: \"But not everyone has that talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many people really have no talent? They're just lazy and playful; as an internet cafe manager, I've seen too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Hai subconsciously handed Zhai Da a Red Su, and Zhai Da subconsciously took it, but Brother Hai reacted and snatched it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't smoke if you haven't learned; later when you work, you'll have one after another.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da didn't leave immediately, but took a bottle of iced black tea from behind the bar, the 1-liter medium bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Hai, used your computer, I'll treat you to a drink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Hai smiled: \"You're treating me to something you took from the shelf?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't the shelf also the boss's? I'll pay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the serious business was over, he intended to chat with Brother Hai a few more times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because just now when Brother Hai touched his cigarette, he saw a fold line extending from his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>",1505,"2026-06-17T20:38:09.169Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","aced35bff1c3cb8bc576202ec7b8eba3e40393d54085fa8734eb341e4817e753","reborn-in-2008-the-gear-obsessed-heartthrob-chapter-53","reborn-in-2008-the-gear-obsessed-heartthrob-chapter-51",326,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-2008-the-gear-system-god-cover.jpg"]
