Chapter 73 Decision
After Zhou Chubin finished introducing all the conditions, Li Qian pretended to be silent, then spoke slowly, "I hope to know something about the dimensional rift under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Beast Taming University."
Zhou Chubin was slightly surprised when he heard this. He obviously did not expect Li Qian to ask such a question. After a moment, he showed a helpless smile and responded, "Sorry, if this is the case, I'm sorry I can't tell you."
"It's not that I don't want to..." He said calmly, looking at Li Qian, "But I can't. Our Dongxia Federation Ministry of Education has a law that clearly stipulates that any information about dimensional rifts cannot be disclosed to high school students who have not entered the Beastmaster University."
Perhaps because he was worried that Li Qian would think he was deliberately making things difficult for him and that he was afraid of leaving a bad impression, he continued talking and added, "Regarding this matter, whether you ask me or Xue Huaiyu and Ai Xiaolian, the answers you get will be the same."
After a pause, he continued, "Of course, you can also ask some adventurers in Lingshui City. I believe that this is not a difficult task for you. However, you should only be able to get some superficial information about the dimensional rift from them."
"I'm not trying to belittle their abilities, the fact is, they simply can't get the deep information."
Nodding slightly, Li Qian did not doubt the truth of these words. In this matter, there was no need for Zhou Chubin to deceive himself, and this kind of deception could be easily exposed.
As long as you ask a few adventurers or graduates of the Eighth University, you can find out, so even if Zhou Chubin, Xue Huaiyu and Ai Xiaolian are in collusion, it is meaningless.
As for Chu Xiran's previous suggestions, Li Qian could also understand them. After all, she had never done admissions work. It was normal for her to know the results of many things but not the reasons behind them. Moreover, she had taken precautions in advance, so this situation was within Li Qian's acceptance range.
"And I personally think that you don't need to consider the matter of dimensional rifts at all." Seeing that Li Qian was quite interested in this matter, he followed up on this topic and introduced it, "Without going deep into the dimensional rift, it actually doesn't make any difference to you which dimensional rift you choose."
Li Qian nodded slightly when he heard this. He could understand this. After so many years of exploration and excavation, even the sandbar dimension crack, which had appeared for the shortest time, should have been very maturely developed on the surface.
From this point of view, if you don't go deep into the dimensional rift to explore some deep secrets, it really doesn't matter which dimensional rift you choose.
As for the deeper dimensional rifts, Li Qian also knew that he was not capable of getting involved at all now.
Of course, this "no difference" refers to development within a certain dimensional rift. If it crosses the dimensional rift, there is actually "no difference", but this "no difference" means "no constraints of difference".
"Moreover, as far as I know, the Federal Ministry of Education is promoting reforms. In a few years, the dimensional rifts will be equally open to all students of the eight major universities." At the end of his words, Zhou Chubin revealed another piece of news.
When Li Qian heard the news, his expression did not change at all, and he did not give any response. He just smiled without comment.
For some things, even if Zhou Chubin chose to deliberately ignore or avoid the main issues, Li Qian knew that in the dimensional rift full of classmates and teachers and in a completely unfamiliar environment, there was often a huge difference between superficial equality and actual fairness.
In this respect, the situation in this world is quite similar to that of the Earth in the previous life. Both are societies with interpersonal relationships.
Of course, after a little thought, he nodded slightly, probably understanding the intention behind the Federal Ministry of Education's actions.
If most students choose the more appropriate Beast Taming University in order to seek benefits and avoid harm, it is likely to cause an imbalance in student sources among schools, which will ultimately be detrimental to the suppression and management of dimensional rifts.
If we consider it from a long-term perspective, this is definitely inappropriate, so the introduction of this regulation is understandable.
However, how effective this rule is, or whether it is only useful for students like Li Qian who have no background, is another matter.
In fact, if he really wanted to inquire about it deliberately, even by exchanging part of his interests for it, he would definitely be able to find out some information about the dimensional rifts behind the eight major forces.
Li Qian believed that his situation was relatively rare, but there were more special cases among the second generation of beastmasters or the second generation of rich people. Their understanding of dimensional rifts must be better than that of ordinary beastmasters.
The Ministry of Education's laws stipulate that information about dimensional rifts must not be disclosed to high school students, but the main body of the regulations is educators like Zhou Chubin, and the regulations cannot restrain some large groups and forces. Although their understanding of dimensional rifts may not be as good as that of the Beast Tamer University, it is definitely much deeper than that of ordinary Beast Tamers.
To put it bluntly, this rule is no different from a piece of empty paper among the rich and powerful. Of course, the premise is that one must be truly rich and powerful, and not just a rich young man like Lu Kuihuan or Sun Shouhe.
Although he has the ability, Li Qian has no plan to do so. Just as Zhou Chubin said, at this stage, it doesn't really matter to him which dimensional rift he chooses. Of course, as Chu Xiran said, his future development direction will probably be determined in which city.
After listening to Zhou Chubin's narration and roughly understanding the reason, Li Qian nodded slightly, no longer dwelling on this issue, and of course did not give a direct answer, "I see... I understand the situation now, I will seriously consider it, and I will give you a reply within two days."
Now that he understood the reason, there was no point in continuing to drag them along, and it would also leave a bad impression, so Li Qian planned to wait until the conditions of the three Beast Taming Universities were announced, and then compare them, and finally, make the best choice.
"Then I'll wait for your good news." Zhou Chubin heard this, smiled, stood up, shook hands with Li Qian, his face full of confidence.
Although Li Qian did not express his opinion, Zhou Chubin was very confident about the conditions offered by Jiangnan Beast Taming University.
Whether it is Shazhou Beast Taming University or Michigan Beast Taming University, in his opinion, at most, they can only offer similar conditions.
Under similar conditions, Zhou Chubin felt that Li Qian would definitely give priority to students from Jiangnan Beastmaster University.
After all, Li Qian is originally from Jiangnan Province, and Jiangnan Beastmaster University is closest to his home, which is Lingshui City.
This distance advantage is a natural advantage that the other two Beast Taming Universities cannot compare to.
After finishing the conversation with Zhou Chubin, Li Qian did not waste any time and went straight to meet with Xue Huaiyu. The order was exactly the same as their first meeting.
Since this was not their first meeting and conversation, they did not exchange pleasantries after they sat down. Instead, they got straight to the point. Xue Huaiyu added, "...in addition to the promise I made to you before, as long as you enter our Shazhou Beast Taming University, our school will also provide you with an independent breeding laboratory. This will be fulfilled in your freshman year."
Xue Huaiyu actually had some guesses. During the first communication, the conditions offered by their Shazhou Beast Taming University should have been among the best. This could be seen from Li Qian's attitude towards her.
However, after Jiangnan Beast Taming University and Mizhou Beast Taming University increased their investment, the situation is no longer certain. Therefore, Shazhou Beast Taming University must also increase its investment, and it must increase more than the other two schools.
She continued, "In addition, all pets below the Overlord level in the school will be open to you for free. You can make contracts and study them at will. Finally, as long as our Shazhou Beast Taming University has independent intellectual property rights, the breeding materials will also be open to you for free and you can read them at any time." After a pause, she added, "For materials involving other teachers' intellectual property rights, we will actively communicate and coordinate for you and try our best to get them."
After hearing this, Li Qian's heart was slightly disturbed. The conditions offered by Xue Huaiyu seemed a little unbelievable even with Li Qian's bold psychological expectations.
With these conditions, let alone recruiting a high school graduate like Li Qian, it would probably be more than enough to recruit a well-known training master.
What Li Qian didn't know was that Shazhou Beast Taming University recruited him according to the standards of a top-level training master.
In their view, although Li Qian is only a high school student, he has successively researched the evolution methods of koi to blue-scaled dragon and koi to frost-fire magic salamander. There is no difference in considering him as a breeding master.
Even though it seems now that this level of recruitment may be a bit excessive, it is not so outrageous considering Li Qian's age and terrifying potential.
After taking a look at Xue Huaiyu who showed an expectant look after giving the conditions, Li Qian couldn't help but say with some emotion: "You guys at Shazhou Beast Taming University are really bold!"
After hearing this, Xue Huaiyu's face immediately turned into joy. She said, "Student Li Qian, you are a rare talent in training. You totally deserve this kind of treatment. If you don't give me this kind of treatment, it would be a lack of sincerity in my opinion."
Li Qian smiled uncertainly, ignoring Xue Huaiyu's words that were meant to squeeze the other two Beast Taming Universities. He replied directly, "Well, I have indeed felt the sincerity of your Shazhou Beast Taming University. I will consider it carefully. By the way, there is one thing I want to ask you, Teacher Xue."
Although Li Qian did not express his opinion directly when he said this, his tendency was already quite obvious, especially in the last question.
Because of this, Xue Huaiyu couldn't wait to ask after hearing this, "What's the matter?"
Li Qian did not hesitate and directly put forward the request he had thought of a long time ago. This request was not excessive, but a little strange. "If I choose to join your Shazhou Beast Taming University, I wonder if your school can send someone to protect my personal safety from now until the enrollment period."
"Huh?" Xue Huaiyu was stunned for a moment after hearing Li Qian's extra request. He obviously did not expect Li Qian to make such a request. After he realized what was going on, he immediately responded, "This... although I don't quite understand... but I can give you a direct answer, no problem at all."
Li Qian shook his head and continued, adding: "I think, Mr. Xue, you may not fully understand what I mean. The person I need must have strong strength and be able to deal with some emergencies."
"This, I may need to discuss with some school leaders." Xue Huaiyu couldn't help but frowned slightly when she heard this. After pondering for a moment, she responded again.
"No need to leave, give me two minutes." After saying that, she waved her hand, indicating that Li Qian could just wait for her for a while, and at the same time, the phone in her hand had already dialed a number.
Li Qian didn't know who she was calling, but he was sure that the other party's identity was no simple person. Li Qian soon found out the other party's identity because Xue Huaiyu didn't avoid him when she called, but called in front of him.
From the way Xue Huaiyu addressed the other party, we can tell that the other party should be the president of Shazhou Beast Taming University. As to whether he is the principal or vice-president, it is unknown.
After communicating for about three minutes, Xue Huaiyu hung up the phone, then looked at Li Qian, nodded, and said affirmatively: "Okay, if you choose to join our Shazhou Beast Taming University, our school will immediately send a beastmaster with the strength of a hegemon to protect your safety until you enroll."
When Li Qian heard Xue Huaiyu's affirmative answer, he also showed a clear inclination. He smiled and said, "I think this will be a very attractive condition."
The communication reached this point, and basically, they had finished the discussion. After chatting for a few more sentences, the two ended the meeting.
"Then I look forward to hearing good news from you, classmate Li Qian." Xue Huaiyu left the reception room, waving inside and said confidently.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Chubin, who was not far away, couldn't help but frown, and his heart was unconsciously lifted.
After Xue Huaiyu, it was naturally Ai Xiaolian from Mizhou Beast Taming University. During the communication with her, Li Qian also learned about the conditions offered by Mizhou Beast Taming University. Generally speaking, after the increase, it was similar to Jiangnan Beast Taming University, but still inferior to Shazhou Beast Taming University.
"I wonder what classmate Li Qian thinks of the conditions offered by our Mizhou Beast Taming University?" After the communication was over, Ai Xiaolian asked with an expectant look on her face.
Li Qian looked at Ai Xiaolian with a professional smile on his face. "Very good. Mizhou Beastmaster University has a very detailed plan for my future as a trainer. The supporting resources also sound very tempting. I will think about it seriously."
This smile looked standard, but in fact it seemed to lack sincerity, which made Ai Xiaolian's heart slightly bulge.
Li Qian's reaction gave her the feeling that he must have found someone in his heart. As expected, it was quite difficult for schools from other provinces like theirs to compete with Jiangnan Beast Taming University.
Yes, at this moment, she instinctively believed in her heart that Li Qian had someone in his heart, and his target was most likely Jiangnan Beastmaster University.
After finishing all the communication with the three admissions teachers, Li Qian made a decision after a little thought that night. In fact, after having an inclination, this choice was not difficult to make.
He picked up his phone and dialed a number that he had just saved. "Teacher Xue, I hope to see you again in more than three months."
On the other end of the phone, Xue Huaiyu's voice rang out excitedly, "Student Li Qian, can I understand this as: you chose our Shazhou Beast Taming University?"
Although she was quite confident about the conditions offered by their school, and even she herself was a little shocked when she first heard them, she was still worried until she got Li Qian's definite answer.
Now, after hearing what Li Qian said, she finally felt relieved. Li Qian did not hesitate. In the receiver, he added, "I think my expression is very clear and explicit."
Xue Huaiyu could no longer control the smile on her face. She said firmly, "Believe me, Li Qian, you won't regret your choice today."
Li Qian chuckled and agreed, "I hope so too."
