144: First lesson of the new semester

With the two "troublemaking contestants" being expelled, this once tumultuous entrance examination finally came to a close, marking a "successful" exam.

Chen Ping's one thousand credits were finally secured.

At the same time, the names Li Wen and Lu Chen, like two rising stars, quickly spread among this year's new students.

Everywhere on campus, people were discussing their outstanding performances, and various social media platforms even saw a surge of heated discussions.

In particular, the trending hashtag—#StrongestOfThisBatch#—prominently featured both of them, and surprisingly, they both came from the relatively niche Breeding Department!

This news was undoubtedly like a bombshell, instantly igniting the entire campus's public opinion.

People began to look at the previously unremarkable Breeding Department with new eyes, re-evaluating its potential value and development prospects.

In stark contrast was Mentor Lin Yan, who was already famous for his unique teaching style.

After this incident, he once again became a topic of conversation after meals, and some even mercilessly used him as a negative example to harshly criticize.

This was to make it clear to the new students just entering campus the true extent of the 'lower limit' among many teachers.

For students who applied to the Combat Department, the days after the examination activities were not easy.

They needed to wait for invitation letters from teachers and then, based on their own circumstances, choose the most suitable mentor from many invitees.

You see, finding a mentor is the second most important event in school, second only to the College Entrance Examination!

Once a good mentor is successfully found, then all future arrangements for daily training tasks and detailed teaching plan designs will be entirely handled by this mentor.

Therefore, choosing the right mentor will directly affect their future learning and growth path, as well as their personal career development direction.

A more crucial point is that each teacher is closely associated with different resource channels and a complex network of social connections.

And such an association is not one-sided but mutually interactive.

Because of this, not just anyone can be fortunate enough to receive teaching invitations from these teachers.

However, in the final stage, even if no active invitation is received, the academy will still make overall arrangements and reasonable allocations.

The purpose is to ensure that every student has their own exclusive teacher to conduct teaching activities.

However, it should be noted that such teacher-student relationships formed through unified academy assignments often gradually fade after the students successfully graduate, and may even have no further contact.

Take Lin Yan, for example; in fact, apart from successfully accepting Lin Bufan's request to become his disciple, most of the time, he also relied on the academy's assignments.

It's just a pity that the quality of teaching received by the students assigned to him was truly not commendable; it could even be described as "appalling."

Facing such a situation, the academy ultimately had to personally intervene to coordinate and make changes.

Facts have proven that his method seems to apply only to those exceptionally talented prodigies.

This teaching method grants students a great deal of freedom and offers quite generous reward mechanisms, but at the same time, the difficulty coefficient of the learning tasks he sets is equally not to be underestimated.

If students can successfully overcome various difficulties and fully complete all requirements, then they can naturally obtain a massive amount of high-quality resources from it.

Conversely, if the predetermined goals cannot be achieved, then Lin Yan can probably only act as an ordinary figure who answers students' questions and points out key course points.

Speaking of how Senior Lin Bufan managed to successfully join the School Team and become a substitute player in such a short time, it couldn't have been achieved without the strong resource support provided by Lin Yan!

Although Lin Yan's family background is indeed quite wealthy, the resources he can provide are not something that can be easily obtained on the market.

Those are the most cutting-edge experimental materials, the most advanced laboratories, and the most high-end research topics!

It must be said that Lin Yan's teaching model is simply tailor-made to cultivate geniuses who can create immense value through their own abilities!

In his own words...

"If a person only knows how to spend a lot of money but doesn't know how to earn money at all, then such a person can undoubtedly only be considered a mediocre talent."

Under Principal Qin's arrangements, Chen Ping naturally lost all invitations.

Of course, the reasons were not limited to this.

A more crucial point was that Chen Ping himself did not display any particularly dazzling or outstanding performance.

So, no matter how much teachers valued students' academic performance, they couldn't possibly invite Chen Ping solely based on this point.

The final result was that Chen Ping, out of helplessness, had to choose the fallback option.

On the day the Breeding Department's new student exam began, he, Li Wen, and Lu Chen were all summoned to the laboratory.

Lu Chen, who was relatively honest, hesitated repeatedly before finally asking the teacher, "Teacher, will it really be okay if we don't participate in the new student exam?"

Lin Yan, standing nearby, had an unconcerned expression and casually waved his hand, replying, "Don't worry, what could possibly happen? These are all minor issues, no need to worry too much!"

Then, he added lightly,

"This new student exam, it's actually just a weakened version of the Beginner Breeder exam."

"You guys have already successfully passed that proper exam, so this new student exam is simply a piece of cake for you; there's no need to waste time participating."

"Besides, I've already spoken to Principal Qin and applied, and he has approved you all to pass directly."

Hearing this, Lu Chen and Li Wen nodded, indicating that they understood the teacher's arrangement.

However, at this moment, the senior who had been idle on the side suddenly leaned over and interjected, his face full of confusion and bewilderment, and he curiously pressed, "Teacher, why didn't you go and apply for me back then? Am I really that unwelcome?"

Lin Yan crossed his arms, assuming a righteous and matter-of-fact posture, and said, "Oh, do you even need to ask? Back then, how could I dare to make such a request to Principal Qin like this time!"

"What kind of person is Principal Qin? He's not that easy to talk to!"

"But this time, the situation is completely different! Li Wen is this year's top scorer! If anything goes wrong, he'll be there to take the fall, won't he?"

"So when I told Principal Qin it was Li Wen's idea, he immediately agreed without a second thought."
