516: New World, Ye Tian Brand Elderly Cultivation University System
"Your Mother is dead."
In the bustling Big City, the sound of car horns whistled non-stop twenty-four hours a day, sweeping over the dusty green belts and entering the ears of the young man in the cramped rental house.
But compared to this irritating noise pollution, the only thing A Man could hear clearly at this moment was that sentence from the phone call.
"Yang Shou, your Mother is dead!"
The other party was not cursing, but stating a fact.
The young man was silent for a long time after hearing this.
His Mother had been diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer a while ago. Although he was mentally prepared, when the news truly arrived, Yang Shou was still in a daze.
A month later.
Old home.
Yang Shou panted as he climbed the mountain, looking at the desolate buildings in front of him. He gasped for a while before walking towards this area of buildings.
This was a School, a university his Mother had spent her life managing.
Now that his Mother had passed away, this School was inherited by him.
From the current state of the School, it was clear that it was basically finished.
It was also expected.
A university built deep in the mountains, where transportation even relied on cable cars, the signal was poor, and there were power and water outages every now and then. It would be strange if this university could continue to operate.
Last year, his Mother didn't even recruit a single Student.
Now, this School was even at the point of closing down and being deregistered.
After walking around the School, Yang Shou rubbed his sore legs and feet. Even as someone who used to deliver food in the Big City, he was a bit overwhelmed.
Indeed, deep in the mountains, the area occupied is Big.
After walking around the entire School, the sun was almost setting.
Returning to the School entrance, Yang Shou looked at the 'Yang Family Village Agricultural and Forestry Vocational Technical College' in front of him, his face full of sorrow.
This School.
It was inherited by his Dad from his Grandpa.
When his Dad died unexpectedly, the School should have been passed down to him.
But he was determined to go to the Big City to make a living, so he left this mess to his Mother.
It wasn't until a month ago, when his Mother also passed away, that the School finally fell into his hands.
Now, the choice Yang Shou faced was whether to deregister the School and be free of responsibility, or to bite the bullet and continue to take over and operate the School that had been passed down by his Old Yang family.
"Ding~ Ye Tian brand Elder Cultivation University System activated. Does the Host want to bind?"
While struggling, Yang Shou suddenly heard a voice, which abruptly appeared in his ear.
"Hmm? System?"
"Ding~ Detecting Host's speech, triggering binding conditions."
"1%"
"100%"
"Ding~ Congratulations to the Host, successfully bound to the Ye Tian brand Elder Cultivation University System. The novice gift package has been sent. Host, please check."
Under the series of sounds, Yang Shou looked at the light screen that appeared before him, his face gradually filled with shock.
And after he spent a few minutes thoroughly understanding the System that had bound itself to him...
"Hiss!" He gasped!
"System, isn't this something that only exists in novels and movies?" Like many Hosts, Yang Shou was also shocked.
After spending some time calming down, the young man then brought up the System panel.
It was true, it was a System! System father!
'This System is dedicated to building the highest institution of learning and cultivating excellent Students.'
At the top of the panel was a progressive slogan, inspiring Yang Shou's sense of responsibility!
With the help of the System, this School of his Old Yang family would definitely have a second spring!
Thinking of something, Yang Shou looked at the unclaimed novice gift package on the System panel.
"System, I want to use the gift package!"
After the young man's voice full of anticipation came out, the novice gift package in front of him erupted in a burst of brilliant light.
Amidst the low calls of the Dragon and phoenix, a thick stack of books appeared in Yang Shou's hand.
"What is this?"
"Admission notice?"
In the young man's hand were envelopes of white and gold color, like some kind of medal books awarded to major prize winners.
"Ding~ Novice task has been issued. Host, please recruit the first batch of Students before the School starts on September 1st."
Amidst Ye Tian's words, Yang Shou also slowly opened the admission notice in his hand.
'Qingxian University Admission Notice.'
This admission notice contained many descriptions of this university.
Such as beautiful scenery, suitable for retirement.
Numerous Immortal Cultivation methods, a place to seek Immortality and ask the Dao.
Spiritual elixirs and miraculous medicines, countless!
Looking at the description on the admission notice, Yang Shou turned to look at the School gate behind him.
"Clang~"
In the cool wind, the School plaque fell down.
"Isn't this fraud?"
"Ding~ The novice task has rewards. Host, work hard. On the day School starts, the School will be similar to what is described in the admission notice."
Yang Shou was speechless for a moment.
And as he flipped through the notice, he realized that the students to be recruited were already written on the notice.
Tang Weida (male): 93 years old
Wang Feixiang (male): 78 years old
Qiao Dongxuan (female): 82 years old
...
Looking at these students to be recruited, Yang Shou's face became like a subway Old Man.
Only then did he look at the System again and realize that the full name of the System was the Ye Tian brand Elder Cultivation University System.
The university students he was to recruit were a bunch of seventy and eighty-year-olds?!
Even those over ninety years old were accepted? Wasn't he really afraid they would die on the way?
Furthermore, these people were at the age of enjoying their twilight years, why would they come to college?
After a psychological struggle, Yang Shou punched hard: "I don't care anymore, with the System backing me up, what am I afraid of!"
"By the way, what is the specific reward after completing the novice task?" After getting up, the young man asked Ye Tian.
After a moment, Ye Tian, in his capacity as the System, answered.
"One temporary prophecy course schedule."
"One temporary dog senior."
"Campus renovation, basic Cultivation equipment activated."
"Qi Refining Completion cultivation infusion."
...
As the series of reward items were announced, Yang Shou let out a light breath. It seemed that except for the somewhat unusual style of the elderly university students, the other System rewards were all quite good!
"There's about a month until September 1st. I'll have to start working tomorrow!"
Holding a large stack of admission notices, Yang Shou looked down the mountain and walked towards the cable car department outside the School.
This cable car line was built entirely by the Ministry of Education for this university in the deep mountains.
When Yang Shou arrived here, he could still see the staff on duty, packing up their things and preparing to get off work.
They were also relaxed, it must be said.
This university on the mountain was so deserted that there were no students at all.
Every time they went to work, they just went up to enjoy the scenery.
When it was time, they could leave.
However.
After the initial relaxation, the cable car staff, looking at the School in the deep mountains with hardly anyone, gradually felt a sense of unease in their hearts.
Their department was originally built for this university in the mountains.
Now that there were no students and the university was about to close down, their department would eventually be disbanded.
Relaxation was relaxation, but being too relaxed, to the point of having nothing to do, was truly unsettling.
"Brother Yang? When did you come up the mountain?" After walking out of the small work room, a young man saw Yang Shou walking towards him and was slightly surprised.
"I came up at noon to see the School my Mother left behind." Yang Shou and the young man in front of him were acquaintances, after all, there were only so many people in this place.
The other party was named Lǐ Sǔn, introduced by his relatives, and had been working here for three or four years.
When Yang Shou came here, he naturally had to take the cable car down the mountain.
In the cable car, Lǐ Sǔn, who had just finished work, was also sitting inside.
"Brother Yang, is this School... really going to be deregistered?"
Inside the car, Lǐ Sǔn looked at Yang Shou with concern.
This School was closely related to his job.
If it really closed down, he would have to find another job.
And after asking this question, Lǐ Sǔn was also mentally prepared.
After all, he had seen the situation inside this college with his own eyes.
If it really was going to be deregistered... it was all within expectation.
"Don't worry, the School won't close down. School starts on September 1st. At that time, I'll need you to be more busy and help bring the students up the mountain."
Yang Shou patted Lǐ Sǔn's shoulder.
Hearing this, the young man's eyes lit up: "Really?! The School can still open? And there are students enrolling?!"
"Of course, just remember to start work early at that time."
"That's great! It's good to have students!" Lǐ Sǔn's original anxiety was immediately diluted by a wave of joy: "At that time, I'll let those students experience a bungee jumping-like cable car, so they'll fall in love with this place before they even get to the School!"
"Uh... it's better to be calmer." Yang Shou remembered the age of the students to be recruited and kindly reminded him.
But Lǐ Sǔn waved his hand: "Brother Yang, you don't understand. Today's university students like excitement. Don't worry, after they experience my speed cable car, they will definitely become completely obsessed with this place!"
Yang Shou opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
