211: Chapter 211, "Learning from Qin Feng and Establishing a New Style," is in full swing!

The twenty-fifth day since Qin Feng's "sacrifice."

In the president's offices of major universities across the Dragon Kingdom, telephone rings echoed one after another, nearly ringing off the hook.

The national university student military training was nearing its end, but a storm far more intense than military training was sweeping across over three hundred higher education institutions nationwide.

"What? The military-grade approval has come down? Our school passed too?"

"That's wonderful! Secretary Wang, notify the Publicity Department immediately and put this news on the headline of our official website!"

"Use the largest font and the reddest color!"

"From today on, we are a semi-militarized management university! This is a tremendous honor!"

Qingteng University, President's Office.

The atmosphere was as lively as if they were celebrating the New Year in advance.

The president held his thermos filled with premium Longjing tea, but his hand couldn't keep steady, and the water inside sloshed around incessantly.

He looked at the representative from the Military Region Liaison Office sitting upright on the sofa opposite him, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

"Representative Zhang, the fact that our Qingteng University can become one of the first pilot units for 'Military-Civilian Joint Education' is all thanks to the trust of the Military Region and the cultivation of our superiors!"

Representative Zhang looked serious: "President, you are too modest. This is mainly because your school cultivated a hero like Qin Feng for the country."

At the mention of "Qin Feng," the president's back straightened by another three points, and a look of immense grief appeared on his face just at the right moment.

"Sigh, speaking of student Qin Feng... we are heartbroken! Such a good seedling, a pillar of the country, just like that... But!"

He changed the subject, his fist gently thumping on the table.

"We are proud! With his life, he gave the university students across the country a most profound lesson in patriotic education!"

Representative Zhang nodded and took a red document out of his briefcase.

"According to the instructions from our superiors, in order to adapt to the potential globalized war landscape of the future, the education system must be reformed."

"For all universities that have received military-grade approval, starting from this incoming freshman class, graduation rules will undergo major adjustments."

The president and the director of the Academic Affairs Office next to him immediately leaned in, their expressions focused.

"First, before graduation, students must complete a six-month internship at a designated Military Region."

"Second, graduation theses must be related to fields such as modern military affairs, national defense technology, or war mobilization."

"Third, the above two points only guarantee the receipt of a graduation certificate. To obtain a bachelor's degree, one must complete a low-risk mission without direct combat as an observer or technical support while embedded with the military."

The director of the Academic Affairs Office gasped in shock.

This wasn't reform; it was pushing universities toward becoming reserve officer training centers!

But the president slapped his thigh, his eyes shining.

"Good! Excellent! Only students cultivated in this way are the talents truly usable by the country!"

"We, Qingteng University, firmly support this and will be the first to implement it!"

Just kidding, once this policy came out, the status of their Qingteng University would skyrocket.

In the past, everyone compared academics, papers, and Nobels.

In the future, everyone would be comparing whose graduates are more sought after in the military, and whose technology can be converted into combat power faster!

And they held a trump card — "Hero Qin Feng."

"By the way, Representative Zhang," the president rubbed his hands and asked tentatively.

"Regarding the series of 'Learn from Qin Feng, Establish New Trends' activities to be carried out across universities nationwide, what is the spirit of the document from above?"

"The spirit of the document is just eight words," Representative Zhang held up his fingers, "Grand scale, profound influence."

The president understood in a second.

This meant that as long as it wasn't illegal or against discipline, they could hype it up as much as they wanted.

In the conference room.

The bigwigs from the Qingteng University Publicity Department, Academic Affairs Office, Logistics Department, and other departments gathered together.

The atmosphere was unprecedentedly solemn.

Of course, it was faked.

In everyone's hands was a document about the "Heroic Deeds of Comrade Qin Feng."

On the cover was that black-and-white photo of Qin Feng in his camouflage uniform.

The Minister of the Publicity Department cleared his throat and spoke first.

"Everyone, time is tight and the task is heavy."

"At the start of the school season at the end of the month, the 'Learn from Qin Feng' campaign must fire the first shot nationwide."

"As Comrade Qin Feng's alma mater, we must come up with a benchmark plan!"

"I propose, first, we build a life-sized bronze statue of Comrade Qin Feng at the school gate!"

"For the pose, let's choose the one where he 'charged forward against the artillery fire'!"

"I second that!" the Director of the Logistics Department immediately followed up.

"Beneath the bronze statue, we must engrave his heroic feat of 'extending the Dragon Kingdom's border marker by fifty kilometers'!"

"Let everyone entering or leaving the school feel the spirit of the hero!"

"A bronze statue alone is not enough," the director of the Academic Affairs Office pushed up his glasses.

"I suggest naming the school's largest library 'Qin Feng Library'!"

"And set up a 'Qin Feng Deeds Exhibition Hall' on the first floor, and make a scaled replica of that... uh, that black pot the hero once carried, as the museum's treasure!"

"Good idea!"

"Also, the heroic deeds of Comrade Qin Feng, especially the version of the 'Final Battle at the Northern Sharp Sword Base' narrated by Platoon Leader Long Zhan, must be listed as required content for freshmen. There will be a final exam, and failing means no credits!"

"We can stage a play, 'Young Hero Qin Feng,' and perform it at the opening ceremony!"

"We can also film a documentary, 'Qin Feng: From Freshman to Heroic Martyr for the Nation'!"

"We can also launch a series of cultural and creative products!"

"For example, Qin Feng-style camouflage T-shirts, notebooks printed with his quotes, and also... black pot-shaped keychains?"

A young staff member suggested weakly, and the entire conference room went silent instantly.

All the leaders looked at him with an expression that said, "You kid have a bright future."

The president finally made the decision and summarized: "Comrades, the ideas are all very good!"

"Remember, we are not mourning a student right now; we are shaping a spiritual totem of an era!"

"Qin Feng is no longer just himself; he is a symbol, an icon!"

"He is the brightest calling card for our Qingteng University, and even the youth of the entire Dragon Kingdom!"

Enthusiastic applause erupted in the conference room.

When the sky was just turning light.

Qin Feng woke up with a start.

Terrifying!

Too terrifying!

He just had a nightmare!

He dreamed he had sacrificed himself, and everyone was commemorating him.

Lanna was woken up by his movement.

Seeing the sky, it was still early, and she asked strangely: "What's the matter with you? You're covered in sweat."

Thinking he was sick, she touched his forehead with her hand.

Everything was normal.

Qin Feng said with lingering fear: "I don't know either. I just had a nightmare. It seemed... it seemed like I dreamed I died."

"Hey, you died? In a dream?" Hearing it was a dream, Lanna was immediately relieved. She continued to snuggle into his arms and said lazily: "Dreams are the opposite. Don't worry, sleep with me a little longer."

Qin Feng slowly calmed down, hugged Lanna, and entered dreamland again.
