Chapter 63 Selecting a Mentor

"Mom, I'm back!"

"Xiao Sui, how was your trip in Zuiyang City?"

Mother Zhang Fen is in the living room, doing a set of health-preserving exercises while watching a video. It is said that these exercises can help recover from leg injuries and help one adapt to prosthetic limbs as soon as possible.

"Not bad. I brought back some persimmon cakes, which are a specialty there. Mom, come and try one!"

Qi Sui had a smile on his lips and was in a very good mood.

After talking to his mother for a few words, he returned to his bedroom, locked the door, and continued to study his new awakening profession.

[Profession 4: Bounty Hunter lv1 (30/50)]

[Basic professional skills: Scent tracking lv1 (0/50)]

Scent Tracking: Your sense of smell will become extremely sensitive, like a nimble dog in the mountains, with a chance to lock onto the whereabouts of prey by scent.

A more practical auxiliary skill!
This is Qi Sui's definition of this skill.

[Scent Tracking] lv1: Start!
Instantly, he felt a slight tingling sensation at the tip of his nose.

Due to the significant enhancement of the sense of smell, other abilities such as vision, hearing, and sensation seem to have experienced a relatively sharp weakening.

He twitched his nose a few times.

The air from the bedroom rushed into the nasal cavity, and the sensory nerves in the nasal cavity seemed to be strengthened thousands of times, and a large amount of complex and complicated smell information was transmitted into the brain.

Fortunately, his brain power and IQ are far beyond that of ordinary people, so it is not difficult for him to process this information.

Hundreds of odors were identified.

The cantaloupe I ate three days ago.

The fart that just happened.

The smell of sweat on the body surface.

Mom's smell.

……

Then, he locked onto a slight odor that smelled the strangest among the hundreds of scents.

A scent route that could only be found within his perceptual field of vision was built within the bedroom space and eventually disappeared under the bed.

"what?"

Driven by curiosity, he continued to move closer along the scent route, and the stench in his nose became stronger and stronger.

Finally, he found the source of the smell under the bed.

It was an original pair of socks that disappeared long ago and had become shriveled and yellow.

The moment it was taken out, the smell concentration exploded exponentially.

"Life force -1!"

Qi Sui resisted the urge to retch and turned off the [Smell Tracking], then collapsed to the ground as if he had fainted. Even the air in the bedroom seemed to taste sweet.

"It seems that we need to be more careful when using this skill."

He gave a wry smile as if he had survived a disaster, walked towards the bathroom with his smelly socks, and began to think about another problem in his mind.

So how is [Bounty Hunter] triggered?
Strictly speaking, the first bounty hunter action should be against Lao Ronghui.

But the new profession was not triggered at that time.

Is it because of the number of times? Or is it because of Zhao Zhenhai's strength?

Qi Sui couldn't figure it out, so he hung the washed socks on the clothes rack. At this moment, the cell phone in the bedroom rang.

This is the phone number of the admissions teacher of Shenhua University that was reserved previously.

The door was opened, and two middle-aged teachers, a man and a woman, with elegant temperaments walked in.

"Hello, you must be Qi Sui's mother. Thank you for training such an outstanding talent for the country."

"No, no, teachers, please come in. I'll go get you some hot tea!"

"No need to bother any more. We are here today mainly for Qi Sui's matter. Let's go now!"

After exchanging pleasantries, they sat down in the old living room.

The middle-aged man adjusted his glasses, smiled gently, and said, "Student Qi Sui, this is what happened. We have already applied to the school leaders for your situation."

"The school leaders also agreed to this. It's not a bad thing to learn some cultural knowledge while practicing martial arts." "In view of the outstanding scientific research talent that Qi Sui showed in the college entrance examination, the school agreed to train him with SS-level resources."

At this point, he smiled with some regret: "In fact, with Qi Sui's talent, he is fully in line with the national highest level SSS training policy, but considering that Qi Sui has a double degree, the level has been lowered."

"It's okay, I understand!"

Qi Sui nodded.

This is a very normal thing. The high-end resources of the school and the country do not come by wind. They are also afraid that Qi Sui will neglect scientific research because of martial arts in the future, thus causing a waste of resources.

"The last thing is that you are interested in enrolling in the newly established major - the Apocalypse Department!"

"This is in compliance with regulations. With your grades, there will be no problem. However, there is one thing you need to know. Our Apocalypse Department adopts an undergraduate tutor system. Every freshman will be supervised by a professor-level tutor."

"Given your dual degree situation... you probably won't be able to stay on campus most of the time, so there may not be any professors with great qualifications who will accept you."

"But please rest assured, even the least experienced professor in the Apocalypse Department is definitely the most advanced in various fields in Xia Country."

Qi Sui had no choice but to nod and say, "Teacher, no problem. I accept the transfer."

This is also human nature.

No instructor would like to have students who are always absent from school.

Otherwise, who will do the experiment?
Who will do the odd jobs like picking up express deliveries?

Who is responsible for making money from horizontal items?
"Okay, if that's the case, then there's no problem. Welcome Qi Sui to join us at Shenhua University. I believe you will spend four fulfilling and happy years here!"

"Here is your admission letter. Please report on September 9st!"

After talking about the matter, the two teachers politely declined Zhang Fen’s invitation to stay for dinner and stood up and walked towards the door.

Before leaving, the female teacher reminded: "Student Qi Sui, you can go to our school's official website to learn more about the Tianqi Department and related teachers."

"The tutor uses a double selection system. You can select three professors you like and send them to me. If you are rejected by all of them, the school will make adjustments."

After seeing off the two teachers.

Qi Sui returned to the bedroom and put on the VR simulated human-brain interaction helmet, and a familiar blue space appeared.

He logged into the official website of "Shenhua University Tianqi Department"!
What catches your eye is a line of vigorous and upright golden words: Achieve excellence with the power of technology!

Next is the professional introduction.

After reading it once, Qi Sui roughly understood it.

In the past, traditional majors were all single-disciplinary, but with the development of science and technology and the progress of the times, it has become difficult for a single discipline to make contributions in the world's cutting-edge disciplines.

For example, if you want to make armor, you need to involve knowledge in many disciplines including materials science, physics, computer science, energy science, etc.

Continuing to develop according to the original discipline model will seriously hinder the advancement of technologies in these high-end fields.

Therefore, Shenhua University made a bold attempt to establish a new discipline system - the Apocalypse Department, which is multi-disciplinary, multi-field intersecting, and focuses on cutting-edge, superior, cooperative, and tackling tough problems.

There are 63 teachers in the entire department, all of whom are professors and are absolutely cutting-edge scholars in their respective research fields.

This means that the number of new students admitted by the Apocalypse Department this year is 63, corresponding to the number of 50 administrative provinces, and basically all of them are the top students in their respective provinces.

"Selecting a professor may very likely affect the triggering of a new profession, so we must be cautious." Qi Sui murmured.

Although the Apocalypse Department adopts a cooperative teaching system, students can ask any teacher for advice and learn the knowledge that interests them, but it is certain that the research field of the tutor will also be the main research direction of their students.

He carefully read the profiles of these 63 professors.

Each of them has a lot of titles, and the academic journals published in the world's authoritative magazines can be listed for several pages, so there is no need to worry about the risk of selecting an academic parallel importer.

"In that case, Professor Cheng Guoqiang should be my first choice!"

56 years old, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, vice president of Shenhua University, and also the dean of the Tianqi Department. He has taught tens of thousands of students and is a world leader in the field of computer intelligent interaction.

"For my second choice, Professor Luo Yaohu!"

62 years old, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, dean of the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Shenhua University, has made significant contributions to the development of high-end materials in the world, and a mecha material he developed was nominated for the Nobel Prize.

"Third choice, Professor Bai Mengxin!"

38 years old, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, vice dean of the Department of Mathematics at Shenhua University, once led a team to solve the Clemley conjecture, a world-class mathematical problem, and is hailed as the leader in the world's mathematics field in the next decade.

"Just these three, I don't know if they can be chosen!"

Qi Sui sighed lightly, sent the list to the female teacher who had just come over on V-chat, and then exited the virtual space interface...
