Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 1164 - 461: Another Graduation Season (Part 1)

Xilin University of Technology, School of Mathematics, Male Dorm 302. At the start of the new semester, the three of them had a rare opportunity to gather together again, just like they usually do at the start of every semester. Chen Yiwen was already accustomed to renting a place outside of campus.

The only reason he chose to stay in the dorm at the start of the semester was because the rented place had been unoccupied for the entire break and needed cleaning before he could move back in.

Of course, Chen Yiwen was too lazy to handle this himself. Hiring a cleaning service takes time, so he could only endure a few days in the dorm. Though the dorm also needed tidying up, at least there were two free laborers available.

The most important thing was that their relationships had been quite good over the past three and a half years. Unless something unexpected happened, by the end of June, they’d all be heading their separate ways... Although, not everyone was leaving. Mainly, Chen Yiwen had chosen the Philosophy Department at Yanbei University, meaning he’d be moving to the Capital for his studies. Spending a few more nights with his brothers before the graduation season was the least he could do to honor their time as roommates.

Yes, this was what Chen Yiwen said, before being tackled to the ground by his two roommates. As it turns out, weight matters in quarrels among ordinary people. For the relatively weaker Chen Yiwen, Zhang Zhou’s pudgy build was lethal.

Of course, they didn’t actually beat him up, but they didn’t let him up until the cocky kid begged for mercy.

"Whew... Damn, you guys really played rough!"

"We have to show you how many eyes Lord Zhang has."

"Exactly, we’re just worried that once you get to Yanbei University, you’ll suffer, so we’re teaching you how to keep a low profile in advance."

"Aw, so I ought to thank you, right?" Chen Yiwen muttered while brushing the dust off his new clothes, grumbling under his breath.

He wasn’t really angry though. It was mainly because he had unconsciously started learning from Qiao Ze, adopting a bit of his indifferent attitude towards material possessions. Psychologically, he felt financially free, so he naturally cared less about material things.

Yes, to put it simply, it’s because he believes he has the means to be willful. Clothes, well, if they get dirty, he can just buy more.

"Alright, enough fooling around. Let’s talk about something serious. You’re heading to Yanbei, what about your Tingting?" The three of them casually started chatting as they returned to their respective seats.

"She’ll continue going to school, what else can she do? Besides, with transportation so developed nowadays, it’s just a three-hour flight from Xilin to the Capital. I can visit her whenever I’m free and check out how you guys are doing at the same time!" Chen Wenyi said casually.

"Tch, you think you’ll have so much free time to run back to Xilin? Do you really think studying for a graduate degree is so easy?" Zhang Zhou scoffed, giving Chen Yiwen a disdainful look.

After all, as a graduate of a top-tier university, there’s no need to be told about how tough a postgraduate’s life can be. It’s evident from daily glimpses.

Back in their sophomore year, a PhD student had to come begging Qiao Ze for help with his thesis, the sight of which still lingered fresh in their minds. Just thinking about it seemed quite tough.

"No, Zhang Zhou, don’t jump to conclusions. I’m not heading to Yanbei to study mathematics; I’m studying philosophy! Philosophy, my friends! If you say this major leaves me jobless after graduation, I have no words to rebut. But if you say our major is hard to graduate from, well, that’s just ignorance.

Let me tell you, during winter break, I specifically went to the Capital to meet with my mentor. We had drinks and bonded! Ah, if I weren’t already in a relationship, my mentor would’ve wanted me as a son-in-law! Now, you talk to me about graduation? Graduating will be a piece of cake for me!"

Chen Yiwen’s words again left the two struggling young men in silence.

He made a very valid point.

In reality, this world is indeed both fair and unfair.

The fairness lies in that, for humanities subjects like philosophy compared to fields like science and engineering, having a mentor who appreciates their students truly makes graduation easier. Writing philosophical papers doesn’t require the strictness of right or wrong like in science and engineering.

But spending three years learning these metaphysical subjects does indeed narrow one’s employment prospects frighteningly.

The unfairness, on the other hand, is that some people don’t have to worry about the employment issue, which is supposed to be a matter of livelihood. Clearly, Chen Yiwen belongs to this fortunate category. Although Zhang Zhou and Gu Zhengliang are also quite lucky, it’s all relative. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

They can’t be compared to those like Chen Yiwen and Su Mucheng, who seemingly hit the jackpot at birth. But at least, compared to ordinary classmates from the basic courses, they’re quite lucky. Even, to be honest, among all the students who chose Xilin University of Technology in their year, they’re more fortunate compared to their peers.

After all, back in those days, Xilin University of Technology’s entrance scores were significantly lower than universities like Huaqing and Yanbei. The city of Xilin couldn’t be compared to super-megapolises like the Capital, Linhai, or Shencheng.

After four years of hard work by many, not only has Xilin University of Technology’s entrance score crept past both Huaqing and Yanbei, but the city of Xilin has also slowly become the center of world technology, with excellent companies everywhere. Job opportunities no longer fall short of those in past super-metropolises, and graduates from Xilin University of Technology are highly sought after.

They are even more in demand than graduates from the Capital’s two previously top-notch universities, which makes those who barely got into Huaqing and Yanbei back in the day wonder whom they can complain to.

It’s fair to say that in human civilization, there has never been and can’t possibly be absolute fairness. More often than not, besides effort, people need a bit of luck to stand out.

After a moment, Zhang Zhou said gloomily, "Alright, alright, stop showing off. We know you’re amazing. I believe you had drinks, but your mentor surely wasn’t just impressed by you. In the end, it’s all because of God Qiao’s reputation."
