Chapter 1 I Became a Xumi Scholar

[Warning: This is a female-oriented story, and it is CP-oriented, but there will be no physical contact. I like the feeling of everything being implied, so if some sisters want to read it as a non-CP story, that's fine, but if you ask me, it is CP-oriented.]

what...

It turns out that staying up late can really kill you.

It turns out that there is a chance that the time travel system will be triggered after an accidental death.

After briefly checking the personal belongings and residence, the white-haired man came to this conclusion.

The man's name was Xie Wenyu, a graphic designer from the 21st century. On the third night of working non-stop to revise his design plan, he suddenly felt dizzy. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a small room that was only one story high and didn't even have an electric fan.

The only thing that could confirm his identity was an admission notice on the desk. According to the content of the notice, Xie Wenyu knew that he had become a freshman [Harold] at Amiritto College (Shenglun School), and that he would report to the college today.

Is this wearing the original god?

Xie Wenyu, now Harold, stared at the words "Amirido College" on the admission letter in a daze.

Isn't it said that only after ten consecutive wins of five golds can you wear the original god? How can a non-African like him, who has played since the server was launched and has never seen a double gold, wear the original god?

Could he be the legendary reverse European emperor?

Harold sighed. If he had known he was going to wear it, he would have drawn all the 360 ​​pink balls he had saved up the day before. That was his savings that he had worked hard to save for half a year. He didn't ask for all the lives of the characters in the current UP pool to be fully filled, but at least he could satisfy his desire.

You have to know that in the past six months, he pressed F3 every few minutes every time he went online. God knows how he controlled his right hand while looking at those pink balls every day.

It's a pity that he never waited for Brother Hai to be UP until he died. The insider clearly said that Brother Hai would be UP in the next version, and he would be able to give Brother Hai full life...

It's all the fault of that rubbish client. He has revised the plan twenty times and is still not satisfied. He has no aesthetic sense at all and still likes to give advice. Because of that rubbish, he worked non-stop for three days to revise the manuscript and Genshin Impact hasn't even been launched.

...Forget it, what's the point of thinking about this kind of thing now? The reality is to find ways to make yourself live a better life in this world.

Harold accepted the fact that he was wearing the original god well. He poured himself a cup of tea, took out the student uniform of the Ordination College from the closet, and awkwardly picked up the corner of the clothes to identify the structure of the clothes.

The clothing of the House of the Order is similar to a modified Arab robe. Both men and women wear skirts on the lower body, and the upper body is divided into an inner lining and a coat, with sleeves and leg covers inside. Although it is far less complicated than Hanfu, Harold, who did not play cosplay or mix in the Hanfu circle in his previous life, still touched the clothes in his hands twice before confirming the upper and lower parts.

After changing his clothes, Harold put on a student hat similar to a beret. There was a round decoration on the left side of the hat with a green bird embroidered on it. It was the emblem of the Amyrido College (Shenglun School).

Although there are six schools in the College of the Decrees, there is no difference in the student uniforms. The only way to identify the student's school is the college badge on the hat of the student uniform.

However, these six colleges have different research fields. Currently, the most suitable one for Harold should be Sahavala College (Myo-ron School). Although he died miserably in his previous life, he was an outstanding graduate of Rod O School of Design and received many awards. But even so, he still died under the oppression of the client after returning to China.

This fully demonstrates that pursuing art is a dead end.

Therefore, Haroldt had no special feelings about entering the Lifeist school in this life. He was neither disappointed nor excited, even though in his previous life he always saw people in forums and communities making fun of the Lifeist school students in the academy who were either hoeing the fields, raising mushroom pigs, or on their way to hoeing the fields or raising mushroom pigs.

Harold was very confident in his learning and research abilities, otherwise he would not have become an outstanding graduate of Rhodes O. College in his previous life. Life-oriented? Since you've already been admitted, just give it a try. If you don't like it, just apply to another college and get a double degree.

When it comes to studying, he has never lost in his previous life.

Harold shook his sleeves. The clothes distributed uniformly by the Ordinance House were of rough material and large in size. It was obvious that they were mass-produced like the school uniforms Harold wore in his previous life. Harold walked to the mirror and was stunned when he saw the person in the mirror.

There is no other reason, this guy is simply himself with makeup. Harold in his previous life was also handsome. Although he immediately pales in comparison with recognized handsome guys like Yan YiO, Jiao EnO, and Zhong HanO, and he has never won the title of "school handsome guy" or "class handsome guy", in most cases he is also the most handsome guy among hundreds of people.

Now, the face in the mirror is a shade whiter than in the previous life, with more delicate features, a pair of bright ocean blue eyes, glittering light blue radial lines in the iris, dark blue pupils, an orange-yellow halo on the outermost circle, delicate eyeliner on the eyes, and long eyelashes on the lower eyelids. There is a silver-green leaf-like ornament next to the ear, which should be the Void Terminal.

The hair is silver-white overall, and the hairstyle is very complicated. The bangs are the same asymmetrical bangs as the evil villains in the comics. There is a strand of blue highlights in the longer bangs that is the same color as the iris. The hair at the back is tied into a fluffy bun, and the gradient color element that the original artist Mihuyu likes most is added to the ends of the hair.

This description may seem a bit Mary Sue, and some of the modifiers put together make it sound as tacky as the "supermodels", "female bosses" and "campus beauties from prestigious schools" in leopard print bras and shorts, black stockings and long boots in some male-oriented novels. But Harold swears on his own name, his face is very good-looking, and this outfit is very natural. If he had walked down the street like this in his previous life, within five minutes a cosplay enthusiast would come up to him and ask him where he bought such natural-looking contact lenses and which barber shop could dye such a natural gradient.

He is not exaggerating. With this face, once he puts on earrings, a small hairpin, a black heart-shaped breast/window-exposed arm tights, a magnetic levitation cape, and the same trousers as Hai Ge + long Chelsea high heels, he is destined to join the up pool to make money for Mihuyou.

Harold turned his head to observe his jawline. In his previous life, he always felt that his jawline was too round and it would look better if it was straighter. After crossing over, this body also satisfied his desire. He had a jawline that he thought was perfect.

This plastic surgery outfit is amazing! Harold feels that he is extremely handsome now. Why didn't he realize that his original face had so much potential before the transformation?

If he had known that drawing eyeliner, wearing colored contact lenses, perming his hair, and shaving his jawline could make him so handsome, he would have had the whole surgery anyway and put on makeup every day before going out.

But now he actually has permanent makeup, his skin is surprisingly good, and the dark circles under his eyes from staying up late for a long time are gone. Such a good thing actually happened. Is this the benefit of wearing a two-dimensional game?

Harold took off his hat and patted his fluffy bangs.

A must-have for the two-dimensional world, hairspray-applied bangs, which remain unchanged after being pressed by the hat for so long. The quality is amazing. You no longer have to worry about the wind messing up your hairstyle.

Harold took the hat back with satisfaction. The green uniform of the Order of the Imam did not match his blue highlighted bangs and light blue gradient hair ends, but fortunately, his looks were good enough, and he was a rare handsome guy in the NPC suit.

After tidying up his clothes again, Harold looked at the time. There were still two hours before the entrance ceremony began. The house he rented was located in Xumi City, and it would take at most half an hour to walk there.

Harold thought about it, then put the admission notice in his pocket and went out. He had just arrived in this world, so naturally he was very curious about everything in Xumi. He wanted to take this opportunity to stroll around Xumi City. If he had extra time, he could go to the Palace of Wisdom to see if things like "Floating Plate Song Scroll" and "Xia Ye Sutra" were still in their old locations, and whether he could activate a system that has not appeared yet after touching it - of course, not every time traveler will have a system. It is a miracle that an ultimate African chief like him can travel through time alive, but one still has to have dreams. Maybe touching an achievement can really activate the system?

Having gone off topic, Haroldt pulled his thoughts back and walked to a fruit stall. He glanced at the various Xumi specialty fruits, then picked up a Dun Dun peach and shook it.

This Dun Dun peach is bright red and looks juicy, which is incredible. Its skin is really smooth, consistent with Mihoyo's modeling. When Harold was playing the game, he always thought that Mihoyo was too lazy to add texture to the Dun Dun peach, so it looked like plastic. Of course, some people speculate that the prototype of the Dun Dun peach is wax apple. No matter what its prototype is, at least it looks tempting enough. I just don't know how it tastes.

"These are the Dun Dun peaches we just received today, 800 Mora per pound. Would you like some, young scholar?" asked the middle-aged man selling fruit enthusiastically.

Eight hundred Moras per pound?

The peaches I ate in my previous life were basically 1 to 100 yuan per pound. Does the formula of RMB ≈ Mora that everyone in the community talks about basically apply?

"I want these," Harold picked up a few Dun Dun peaches and sunset fruits. Sunset fruits are grown all over the continent of Teyvat, but due to climatic reasons, the rainforest of Xumi is not suitable for the growth of sunset fruit trees. Harold estimated that the price of sunset fruits should be more expensive than Dun Dun peaches.

"The total is two thousand Moras, my dear scholar. Today is the enrollment day for the scholars of the Ordinary House. We will give each scholar a 20% discount, so the total is one thousand six hundred Moras," the middle-aged man took the fruits selected by Harold and put them into a woven bag, then held the two sides of the bag with both hands so that Harold could lift the bag with one hand.

Harold was a little uncomfortable with the man's excessive attentiveness. It was not that he could not understand the middle-aged man's attitude towards him. In Xumi, a place where knowledge was supreme, the identity of a student of the Academy of Teachings was enough to be admired by local small vendors.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that in the previous life game, when players mentioned Xumi, the first thing that came to their mind was an NPC with white hair at the age of 30, with famous sayings such as "In the Institute of the Church, it is not normal not to graduate at the age of 30" and "My hair is the price I pay for the pursuit of wisdom", and an NPC who was driven crazy by his thesis and would rather pay someone to kidnap him than go back to the Institute of the Church. The things done by the great sage in the main storyline are more like a clown, and it seems that the scholars of the Institute of the Church are not very smart.

But in the real Xumi, those who can get into the Academy of Teachings are already top-notch talents, and those young geniuses who are discovered by the Academy of Teachings at a very young age and invited to the academy for training are even rarer.

Unlike the compulsory education system in the previous life, students had to pass an exam to enter the Academy of Teaching. Each academy set its own questions. Some academies not only had theoretical exams but also skill tests. For example, this year the Miaolun School immediately conducted an assessment of either mechanical arts or art after the theoretical exam. The Shenglun School required students to cultivate luminous mushrooms within a week. The Academy of Teaching would not distribute unified learning materials, and students could only study independently at the void terminal. For those who took the Academy of Teaching exam for the first time, this way of learning was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Far-sighted Xumi people would choose to ask graduates of the Teaching House to guide their children. The cost of guidance is of course far beyond the affordability of ordinary families. It is already quite challenging for rainforest residents to enter the Teaching House, and it is even more difficult for desert people to enter the Teaching House.

So in the game, with a territory as large as Xumi, several generations (possibly even dozens of generations, under the Xumi Institute system, there are many people who have not graduated by the age of 40) of scholars from a country as well as foreign scholars who come here for the honor can actually squeeze into one Institute. This building located inside the city can even accommodate the administrative agencies of a country.

It's simply jaw-dropping.

Harold took the bag and paid for it. He was not afraid of being cheated by the merchants in Xumi City as he had just arrived. Everyone here carried a void terminal with them, making it very convenient to check the prices of items. Before shopping, he had already confirmed that the prices of several fruits were well within his affordability.

"Scholar, you are a scholar of the Life Theory School, right? Can I ask you...about this year's exam questions?" The man looked at the school emblem on Haroldt's hat with envy and asked cautiously.

"Sorry, I forgot everything after the test. They were all basic stuff," said Haroldt.

It's not that he was unwilling to reveal this year's exam questions to this stranger, he just really didn't know what was on the test this year. Based on the information he had obtained so far, he was not a native of Xumi, and he didn't know which country he was from. He had no memories of this body's original form, but he was sure that he had been favored by a mentor at Amyrido College and had received a letter of recommendation from that mentor, so he came to Xumi from a foreign country a month ago and rented a house in Xumi City and paid half a year's rent in advance.

However, it is certain that the tests conducted by Amiribo College this year are all about basic knowledge. He has just used the void to look up the entrance test questions of Amiribo College over the years.

There is no connection between the exam questions of Amiledo College over the years. The only similarity is that they are all about basic theoretical knowledge of biology, ecology, medicine, etc. The test points are complicated, and it can be seen that the test makers intend to screen out all students who fail to meet the basic knowledge requirements.

After such screening, the students who enter the Ami Rido Academy no longer need to learn basic knowledge, but can immediately go to the farmland and laboratory to practice with the instructor. It's like letting the brave fight slimes in the novice village until he reaches level 100 and then directly throw him into the Demon King's Palace.

Seeing that the uncle was really disappointed, Harold kindly reminded him, "There should be scholars who remember the questions. I believe they will upload the test questions to the terminal soon. Uncle, you can just check them directly then."

"Thank you, kind scholar. I just want to know what went wrong with my son's studies. He has been studying all the time except for eating and sleeping. At the age of 15, he has less hair than me," the uncle sighed. "He studied hard for a year but still failed. After the test, he came back crying and said that his mind went blank when he saw the test questions. He couldn't even remember what the questions were after the test. Oh, what went wrong..."

Without talent and a bad mentality, even if you are lucky enough to be admitted to the Ordination College, it will be difficult to graduate successfully.

Of course, Harold would not say these words in front of others. Seeing that the man in front of him wanted to drag him to talk about his unfortunate son, Harold quickly ran away on the pretext of reporting to the Ordinance House.

After leaving the fruit stall, Harold walked slowly, enjoying the scenery while using the void to make up for his knowledge of the Life Theory School.

Don’t underestimate him because he plays Genshin Impact. That was after he graduated. In his previous life, he was a well-known student with high grades. In addition to graphic design, he also obtained a double degree in clinical medicine.

Fortunately, he studied medicine, and after traveling into the original god, the knowledge from his previous life can continue to shine. After all, even if he is a Teyvat, the human body structure is not much different from that of the people on Blue Star, but the organisms are different. Sunset fruit, Dun Dun peach... none of them can grow on Blue Star. If he had studied biology in his previous life, wouldn't he have nowhere to cry now?
