Chapter 102: To buy fresh apples, you have to buy rotten pears
“The third option is to have nightmares every night for three months in a row!” the devil continued.
"This price does not sound high. It is only three months, which is much better than a year of life or ten years of being single."
Zhang Wei fell into deep thought. , he always felt something was wrong.
“No, this seems to be a trap!”
Many people should have had this experience. They experienced a long time in a dream, but only a few minutes passed in reality.
Obviously, in human perception, the speed of dream time and real time are not the same.
Having a nightmare that lasts only a few hours in real time, but for you in the dream, you may have been chased by a monster for several years.
Zhang Wei suddenly remembered a Japanese drama he had watched. It was a story in "Wonderful Stories of the World". It told the story of a man who committed a felony but was only sentenced to thirty days in prison.
However, during those thirty days, the man will be injected with a drug and will always be in a dream state, and in his dream, he will suffer various inhuman tortures from the warden.
Due to the time difference between the dream and reality, he spent a month in the dream, but only five minutes passed in reality. In other words, his thirty-day sentence was actually 720 years of torture in his dream!
The result was that when this man left prison thirty days later, his whole person had already collapsed and turned into a walking zombie.
If a person has nightmares every day, the mental shock he endures is far more painful than the physical shock. If his mental ability is not enough, he may become a psychopath!
"Having nightmares every day for three months may kill me! Even if I can persist, the psychological impact will take more than a year off my life."
Zhang Wei sighed. In one breath, he said; "I choose one year of life!"
"Did I hear you correctly? Are you willing to trade your lifespan? You can choose to be single for ten years!" the devil asked in surprise.
"Everyone has something they care about!" A figure flashed in Zhang Wei's mind.
"Actually, it is more cost-effective for you to exchange your life span. Ordinary people spend a year learning English and cannot achieve a TOEFL score of 120." The devil said.
"Yes, I am not a genius like Ye Haotian. Without you, I would just be an ordinary person. Just like my name, ordinary cannot be more ordinary..." Zhang Wei laughed at himself. laugh.
……
The University of California, Berkeley is also a world-renowned university and receives many applications from international students and exchange students every year.
The teacher in charge of services for international students and foreign scholars is currently reviewing the resumes of this semester’s exchange students.
"Seoul National University Hwang Joon-gi, whose father is Seoul National University professor Hwang Woo-suk, the exchange student the Department of Life Sciences asked me to find should be him!" The teacher pulled out this information and put it separately aside.
For exchange students, excellent grades alone are not enough. Many exchange students come from certain family backgrounds. This is the same all over the world.
As for the powerful connections, someone will also greet the University of California, Berkeley in advance, so that the school can greet the connections.
This is the case for Hwang Joon-gi of Seoul National University. His father is Hwang Woo-suk, professor of biology at Seoul National University. This Hwang Joon-gi is a world-renowned authoritative figure in the field of life sciences.
So Huang Junji came to be an exchange student. Naturally, the Department of Life Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley, wanted to take special care of him for his father's sake.
The teacher continued to look through the information of other exchange students and singled out several of them one by one.
"Ye Haotian, Tsinghua University, China. There are exchange students from China this year, which is rare!"
According to the world rankings at that time, the gap between Tsinghua University and the University of California, Berkeley It’s a big university, so it’s difficult for Tsinghua University to send exchange students to Berkeley. Even if Tsinghua University wants to send people, Berkeley doesn’t want them. Only two or three places are available every three to five years.
The teacher looked at Ye Haotian's resume, including three good students, top ten students, outstanding students, etc. There were a lot of honors listed.
Although this teacher doesn't know what these honors are, he can roughly guess that Ye Haotian is either a very outstanding person, or his family is very superior, and the probability of his family being very superior is even higher.
The United States will also have similar awards for outstanding students, and there are many more types than in China. In addition to official organizations, many media and private organizations will also have such awards.
In addition to your own excellence, if your family has money, you can get an honor by making a donation to these organizations. If your family background is relatively prominent, you can also get this honor by making a phone call and selling a favor.
These honors are still very useful for college entrance examinations. Students who are outstanding themselves and whose families are either rich or noble have always been the most popular students in American universities.
The teacher picked up the next exchange student resume.
"Zhang Wei, Tsinghua University, China, published an article in "Science"? The electric field effect of atomic-level carbon thin films?" This teacher is a business student and does not know what atomic-level carbon thin films are. , and didn’t know that this paper represented a Nobel Prize-level discovery.
But as a faculty member at a world-famous university, he also knows what it means to publish an article in Science magazine.
Looking at the age again, he was born in 1985, so he is only nineteen years old!
Being able to publish a paper in the journal "Science" at the age of nineteen, few people in the world can do it.
“I understand, the one in front of me, Ye Haotian, has a prominent family background, and the one in the back, Zhang Wei, has strong academic ability!”
A combination of great ability and a well-connected family , the teacher has seen too much.
The University of California, Berkeley, is a world-class university after all, and there are thresholds for accepting exchange students. Other universities cannot send exchange students to Berkeley, but they cannot all send exchange students. They must be matched with someone with real abilities. .
This is equivalent to selling fresh apples with a rotten pear!
The teacher continued to look at Zhang Wei’s information.
“Five Mersenne primes were discovered? Is this amazing?” Business students also don’t understand Mersenne primes.
"Prime numbers should be related to the Department of Mathematics, right? Send his information to the Department of Mathematics first! See if the Department of Mathematics is willing to give him a place in the course."
… …
At the door of Zijin Apartment, Zhang Wei and Ye Haotian loaded their suitcases into the extended version of the Lincoln Navigator.
"Have a nice trip, brothers!" Lu Yunxiang waved his hands at the two of them.
"Xiao Lu, thank you very much, please ask your driver to take us to the airport!" Ye Haotian's smile was still bright and sunny, obviously he had not yet realized that he was a rotten pear.
“Why are you so polite to me?” Lu Yunxiang said in an awesome voice.
"Xiao Lu, Brother Haotian and I are going to the United States. During these three months, you must keep an eye on Chen Ming and let him drink less!" Zhang Wei ordered.
“Brother, don’t worry, I will definitely take a good look at Brother Specimens!”
"Okay, we're going to the airport! I'll bring you American souvenirs when we come back!" Zhang Wei waved his hand and got in the car first.
Ye Haotian stood there without moving, not because he didn't want to leave, but because he was held back by Xiong Xinxin.
At this time, Xiong Xinxin looked at Ye Haotian with tears in her eyes.
"Brother Tian, I just came to Qingdao University, why are you leaving!"
"Xinxin, obedient, I have to go to the airport. If I go late, I won't be able to catch the plane!" "Ye Haotian shook his arm but did not shake it away.
After all, he is a martial artist, so his grappling skills are not in vain.
"Xinxin, it's not like I won't come back! Three months have passed in a flash!" Ye Haotian continued to persuade.
"Then hug me! I'll let go." Xiong Xinxin said coquettishly.
Ye Haotian sighed helplessly, and could only betray his lust and give Xiong Xinxin a hug.
Xiong Xinxin leaned into Ye Haotian's ear and whispered something.
"What did you say!" After hearing this, Ye Haotian's expression suddenly froze, with a surprised expression.
After waiting in the car, the car drove out of the gate of Qingdao University, and Ye Haotian had not yet recovered.
"Hey, the soul is lost?" Zhang Wei snapped his fingers in Ye Haotian's ear, and then asked: "What did Xiong Xinxin say in your ear? Did he say that he would marry you when you come back?" ?"
Ye Haotian slowly turned around and said with a look of disbelief on his face: "She said that while I am in the United States, she will do scientific research!"
"Do scientific research? She is a Wuying-level athlete, what kind of scientific research is she doing? Or Wing Chun?”
"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling! I think a certain laboratory in our school may be demolished..."
There was a huge explosion in monthly tickets yesterday. It seems that all book friends are interested Came back after the New Year. Thank you for your support! This week Sanjiang failed to advance again. When the editor comes to work, he will ask if he wants to try again for another week. To be honest, I just put it on the shelves like this. I am still a little reluctant to pass the test. If you can fight, you have to fight!
