Study Monster Cultivation System-Chapter 351 - 350 Salvation from Involution: the Ultimate Move!

Li Zheng couldn’t remember how many times he had been to Ji University, but the feeling of checking in with his luggage was still quite different.

His first visit to Ji University was like lovers locking eyes.

Subsequent visits felt like entwining with a partner.

Now coming to Ji University felt like, after incessant entwinement, it had evolved from lover to spouse.

It wasn’t that enticing anymore…

No, it was still very enticing.

It was the reassuring feeling of being in a long-standing relationship.

It was the sense of honor of being a master of Ji University.

With such feelings, Li Zheng smoothly made his way to the orientation hall.

Every year, seniors from various institutes would be there to welcome the freshmen, handle procedures, and send them to the dormitory buildings.

At that moment, the hall was arranged like a two-dimensional space exhibition, with each institute setting up their own booths, drawing various attractive images, and displaying various corrupt slogans.

[Juniors are 0, seniors are 1, together we program the world—School of Information Science]

[The graduation rate of School of Physics has consistently been second last in the university, but no need to worry about slippage, because the last place is definitely →→→]

[→→→ Coming to Chemical Institute and thinking of leaving? Dare to submit your organic assignments without making them cyclic? —School of Chemistry and Molecular Technology]

[Send a boy over here please!! Ah!!! —School of Foreign Languages (This is the slogan that won the vote on our institute’s forum)]

[Send a girl over here please!! Ah!!! —School of Engineering (This also won the vote on our institute’s forum)]

Some things truly are unavoidable wherever you go.

Due to Li Zheng arriving on the last day to register, there were not many freshmen in the hall, creating a situation where there were more wolves than meat.

Because of this, his appearance perked up all the seniors who were hoping to stir something during the orientation.

All the senior guys were grimly chanting to themselves.

He’s not ours, he’s not ours, he’s not ours...

The senior girls, on the other hand, revealed an extremely explicit look of desire.

Mine, mine, mine!

Especially the seniors clearly from the School of Foreign Languages.

It was as if they had already shouted it out loud.

Li Zheng, well accustomed to such attention, ignored these resentments and desires, simply making a quiet scan around.

He found it.

Unlike the other institutes, driven by their desires, Yingpei’s slogan was very calm and straightforward.

[Our male-to-female ratio is 1:1, and we co-dorm—Yingpei]

Li Zheng’s eyes widened, and he then pulled his luggage and walked over there.

As he moved forward, the seniors he passed by on both sides rejoiced or grieved,

while the senior girl sitting right at the center of the Yingpei College booth’s heartbeat accelerated continuously, and her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

A week of steadfast waiting had not been in vain!

Such a junior, waited for, had finally arrived!

For today, she had made too many preparations.

She had specially grown out her hair, arranging it with a delicate hair accessory.

She had specially switched to a shirt, slipping into a long skirt.

Even these little leather shoes were purchased with gritted teeth.

She had become disheartened over her week of welcoming new students.

How could she have imagined that on the last day, she would experience a stroke of luck?

Seeing Li Zheng approaching closer, the girl next to her swallowed hard and tugged at the senior sister’s arm, "No way, no way, that guy can’t really be from our institute, can he?"

However, the senior sister quickly gathered her composure, while casually wiping the corner of her mouth.

"Compose yourself," she propped her chin with both hands, staring sternly ahead, "As seniors, we need to show some restraint."

"..." The girl swallowed again, reluctantly shifting her gaze away, "Forget other handsome guys, but this one... Restraint... it’s so hard"

"It’s nothing." The senior sister squeezed her thigh and said tremblingly, "We in Yingpei, haven’t we all come this way surrounded by glory? Doing the handsome guys and beauties routine only lowers our style. Do you want to leave the first impression on freshmen as ’just so-so’?"

"You’re... right." The girl clenched her fists secretly, "Worthy of being Sister Keqing, such a broad view... so resilient..."

Resilient?

She was not resilient at all!

But she had to be.

Chang Keqing was just such a senior sister.

That’s why

she didn’t have a boyfriend to this day.

Not-only did she not have a boyfriend, but she had also spoken fewer sentences to boys than formulas she had recited.

About this matter, she had thought through carefully, even taking up sociology to understand.

She just wanted to know…

why the more outstanding a girl is, the harder it seems to find a boyfriend?

Actually, the reason is very simple.

Because in the mating market, males can be downwards compatible.

If we divide popularity into four grades, ABCD,

then a Grade A male can accept A and B women, and even C women.

Likewise, a Grade B male is also downwards compatible.

But it’s different for females.

Females only go up in compatibility.

The baseline for an A woman is an A man.

Many B women... their baseline is also an A man.

Even C women might stubbornly define themselves as A women, only focusing on A men.

In short, males don’t mind being together with females who are not as competent as themselves.

Females, however, are unlikely to accept males who are less competent than themselves.

This leads to A women in the market often being positioned as luxury goods.

The production could actually be substantial, but they consciously make their market very small.

Besides, there’s an even more brutal reality.

Men can also be downward compatible with age.

And they are very willing to be so.

Not only would man A consider woman B, but he would also consider an even younger and cuter woman C.

On the other hand, only a very few wealthy women can secure men who are over five years younger.

In this vicious cycle of dual downward compatibility, as woman A grows older and more educated, her market only becomes smaller.

In the end, it leads to irreversible ruin.

The only consolation is that woman A is not the only victim.

The biggest victims are actually the D men.

Everything was taken by the earlier-to-society, more resourceful ABC men.

They are left with nothing.

All they can do is commit to a 996 work schedule, hoping to climb the ladder early on to plunder the young D men just emerging from school.

A sociology class made Chang Keqing profoundly understand the root of this problem.

However, it did not offer her a solution.

Luckily, as a top academic goddess at Ji University’s Yingpei College, she saw the solution immediately.

Women can also be downward compatible!

Embrace and fall for men who are not their equals.

Be adventurous to dig for men who are even five to ten years younger.

Instead of blindly clamoring for women’s rights, it is better to break the traditional fixation that a woman’s man must be superior from one’s mindset.

Once this spell is broken, where can’t you find men in the world?

It’s not only for themselves, but also for the D men just entering society who have yet to accumulate resources.

If A women are downward compatible, the unsold BCD men will be quickly absorbed by them, and the internal competition of the mating market will also diminish, and the world will eventually return to normal.

This is the harsh truth of the world.

It’s not that D men are not striving; it’s that A women are too restrained.

Today, Chang Keqing cast aside her restraint in front of a handsome junior.

A year later, an ordinary man will embrace his ordinary woman.

This is a domino of social trends.

Today is the day it begins!

Chang Keqing was filled with tumultuous emotions.

Yet her expression and movements remained very reserved.

Resting her chin in her hand, with crossed legs, she sat in an unperturbed manner, looking calm and composed as if she has seen it all.

She had no choice, she also had her academic idol baggage.

As a top academic goddess who had been admitted through protections all the way, as the student council president of Yingpei College, she had already become accustomed to the cold and proud idol baggage.

Every time she was too enthusiastic, revealing herself, it made people around her feel it fell short of their expectations of an academic goddess, normalizing her presence.

As an ordinary person in character, she found it too difficult to blend with ordinary people, her performance and appearance distancing others from her even more, causing further alienation.

Thus, forced by the circumstances, she inevitably developed the habit of maintaining the posture of an academic goddess, playing the role everyone eagerly needed, the person to be worshipped.

At that moment, as Li Zheng approached closer.

Chang Keqing became increasingly anxious.

If not reserved, exposing herself might make the junior think she was very ordinary, losing the veil of mystery and thus his interest.

If she remained reserved, playing the academic goddess, this junior would, like all juniors, admire her from a distance.

And she would still end up without a boyfriend.

Terrible...

It felt like a dead-end.

Being too excellent is also a kind of curse.

Finally, Li Zheng approached the Yingpei welcome booth and presented his credentials on the table with both hands.

"Li Zheng, reporting."

Chang Keqing was startled.

Oh, that voice.

Oh, those muscle lines on his forearms, just barely covered.

After a fierce inner struggle.

She calmly "Hmm"ed, picked up the checklist, and quickly found Li Zheng’s name. After all, he was the only one missing.

While Chang Keqing was filling out the forms, she casually said to the girl beside her, "Introduce him to the junior."

"Sure." The girl was delighted as she stood up and shook hands with Li Zheng. "Li Zheng, right? Welcome to Yingpei."

"Thank you, senior." Li Zheng responded naturally.

Chang Keqing’s hand trembled following that.

That powerful palm, those long fingers...

How could it be so easy to touch...

Where was the reserve she promised?

The introduction had barely started when suddenly a girl’s insincere laughter was heard.

"Wow, you guys at Yingpei still had such a handsome junior hidden away?"

Chang Keqing didn’t even need to look up to know who it was.

It was the senior from the School of Foreign Languages.

Our own Yingpei doesn’t have enough to go around, and here you are coming to snatch from us, are you out of your mind?

This senior, far from the naivety of freshers, introduced herself very generously while holding Li Zheng’s hand.

"I’m from the School of Foreign Languages over there, welcome to take our courses."

"I’ve selected my courses already, thanks for the suggestion," Li Zheng politely declined.

"Class selection can still be changed, huh," the senior nudged Li Zheng with her shoulder and smiled, "If you want to learn French, I could teach you."

"I appreciate that in advance…" Li Zheng replied with a forced smile.

"Not just languages, Yingpei has also partnered with us in opening foreign history and foreign archaeology majors."

"That sounds quite interesting."

"It’s very interesting, let me tell you." The senior smoothly pulled out her phone, "Add me on WeChat, I’ll send you the courses for these majors. These majors are unique to Ji University, nowhere else in the country offers them."

"Okay."

Unnoticed, the senior who had just introduced Li Zheng to Yingpei College had already been squeezed to the edge.

Chang Keqing herself was caught in a stunned state.

Too... too damn powerful...

How did this older student manage it? The hardest step, and she just breezed right through it...

As they were talking, another burst of laughter came.

Not good, it’s another senior from the School of Journalism and Communication.

Crap!

The first seven days, all as docile as little white rabbits.

Yingpei finally got a fresh piece of meat, and they all pounced immediately!

"What’s going on, what’s going on, my dears, why all the excitement?" the senior from Journalism came over, hugged the French senior, and then smiled at Li Zheng, "What’s up? Does junior need course guidance? I can highlight the best courses in our school for you."

"Oh? That’d be great..." Li Zheng naively flashed his QR code.

Chang Keqing nearly broke her pen.

This is even simpler!! You could totally bluff your way through this!

No, that QR code...

Chang Keqing stared hard at the screen of Li Zheng’s phone.

Memorize it!

WeChat QR code, 37x37, just 1369 squares in total.

Just remember 60% and you can scan it!

11010101010001101...

Ah, it got blocked.

Another senior from International Relations came, and just blatantly scanned it?!

While Li Zheng was being surrounded.

A frigid voice came over.

"Yo."

Li Zheng’s expression shifted, glaring through the group of seniors.

In an instant, he turned serious.

"All Hail!"

"Haha." Wu Shu blew a strand of hair from her face and swaggered over, coming up and punching Li Zheng on the shoulder, "Not choosing Physics, fake ’All Hail.’"

Li Zheng quickly nodded: "Just different majors, I won’t miss a single class from the School of Physics."

"You know what’s good." Wu Shu smiled and peered over to where Chang Keqing was, "How’s it going? Shall I take him over there?"

Chang Keqing, her heart tearing apart... pushed the ID back.

"It’s done."

Wu Shu then waved a hand: "Let’s go."

Li Zheng thus thanked Chang Keqing, picked up his ID, and followed Wu Shu.

All the seniors, in the blink of an eye, turned into losers.

"It turns out to be... one of Wu Shu’s people..."

"No helping it..."

"The School of Physics isn’t enough for her... all those Shuwei Guards... it’s practically becoming the School of Mathematics..."

Seeing this, Chang Keqing actually felt a little better.

Sometimes, it doesn’t matter if you don’t win, as long as many others lose with you, it’s still okay.

However, just as the seniors were dispersing with resentment.

Suddenly, a roar from the tough guys erupted inside the auditorium.

"Wow!!!!"

"Oh!!!!"

"Physics!!! YES!!!"

All eyes were instantly drawn to the School of Physics’ booth.

Couldn’t see what was happening, just a group of School of Physics guys boiling over.

It felt like a lifetime commitment to studying physics.

Li Zheng silently shook his head.

"Queen, you better go calm down your kingdom first." Li Zheng sighed, looking down, "It must be Lin Yujing who has arrived."

"I figured as much." Wu Shu gestured towards the School of Physics’ sign, "Shall we go have a seat?"

"No, thanks." Li Zheng stood with his hands behind him, "I have an agreement with my darling. We’re both deep in studies and won’t meet until school starts in September."

"As long as you’re happy." Wu Shu shook her head helplessly, "Then I’ll go take care of them."

"Please."

"Oh, right." Wu Shu turned her head and called out to Chang Keqing, "Sorry, got something urgent on my end, could you take Li Zheng to the dorm?"

Chang Keqing’s heart blossomed instantly, and she sprang to her feet.

"Me… Me??? Sure!"

"Ah..." Wu Shu was inwardly shocked.

So this aloof person is secretly lively... huh...

Seeing this, the girl next to Chang Keqing quickly stood up as well: "Keqing... you should stay here, how about I go instead..."

"Ahem..." Chang Keqing breathed heavily, "No need, Li Zheng is the last freshman to register, we can wrap up soon."

"But... then... let’s go together..."

"Ayaya." Chang Keqing turned her head, her expression solemn, "I can feel it, you’ve lost your reserve, are you sure you want to leave that impression on junior?"

"..." The girl looked down sadly, "Then... I’ll clean up..."

Just like that, Li Zheng left the auditorium with Chang Keqing.

Although Chang Keqing had just slightly lost her composure, by now, she had regained her own presence.

"Your records say you’re from Lake Ying." she asked casually, "How do you know Wu Shu?"

"Competed together in contests." Li Zheng pursed his lips as he reminisced, "That was my first time in a big competition, Sister Shu really took care of me. Our group liked to play with memes, so we greeted each other with ’All Hail.’"

"Hmm."

Chang Keqing hummed in response, continuing to walk forward.

Walking on.

Continued walking.

Two minutes later.

Chang Keqing finally realized.

The conversation had ended!

This was her other attribute, the conversation terminator.

Chatting with the burden of idol status, it couldn’t last more than three sentences.

It was Li Zheng who couldn’t hold back any longer and asked, "By the way, I still don’t know senior’s name?"

Chang Keqing replied instantly, "Chang Keqing, ’Ke’ as in engrave, ’Qing’ as in clear sky."

"Nice name."

"Thank you."

After Chang Keqing thanked him.

Continued walking.

Continued walking.

Two more minutes passed.

They were almost at the dormitory building.

Chang Keqing was completely hopeless now.

With a personality like mine, I’m probably doomed to be alone forever…

As for Li Zheng, he had the EQ to start another topic at any moment.

But still.

[Chang Keqing]

[Academic Power: 1328]

[Scholastic Wealth: 592]

This data was indeed terrifying.

It even surpassed some of the teachers.

Considering the major switch in the second half of sophomore year at Yingpei,

so Chang Keqing could only be a sophomore senior.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

For her age to reach this level, Li Zheng was full of awe.

The academic gods of Yingpei indeed each had their own flair. A senior of this caliber had prideful capital since she cherished her words like gold, it was better not to disturb her.

Just like that, they walked all the way to the dormitory building.

This year’s freshmen seemed very lucky to get into Yingpei’s new building when they entered the school.

Perfectly tailored for the collegiate system, boys in the lower three floors and girls in the top three, with various entertainment rooms and multimedia rooms for projects.

Li Zheng was constantly amazed all the way up to the third floor.

He only realized his behavior at the dorm door, "Sorry senior, I haven’t seen much of the world."

"It’s okay," Chang Keqing coldly knocked on the door.

So cute!

So adorable!

Inside the dorm, a rough male voice soon responded: "It’s unlocked."

Chang Keqing then turned and nodded, "I won’t come in then."

"Um, thank you, senior."

"Alright, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Chang Keqing turned around with tears in her eyes.

Such a great opportunity had arisen…

As for WeChat or anything like that, I still… can’t bring myself to say it…

Five minutes alone with a junior, why can’t I just do it.

Ah…

At that moment, Chang Keqing realized a shocking fact.

Not having a boyfriend…

Maybe… it isn’t because my ABCD framework of social studies is flawed.

Nor is it because I’m too exceptional.

It’s simply because…

I… am just a… socially awkward person!

Ugh ugh ugh…

Just as she was about to tearfully go downstairs.

That magnetic voice suddenly chased after her.

"Ah… that…" Li Zheng hurried over, scratching his head, "I couldn’t help it… You seem to be really good at studying, could I… add you on WeChat?"

Instantly.

The sky brightened!

Chang Keqing’s heart blossomed with joy, and she quickly turned around to show her QR code.

"I’m just decent at studying," she said with a cold smirk.

"You’re being modest," Li Zheng hurriedly scanned the code and sent a request. Adding such a good student made him excited as well, scratching his head and smiling, "I might still disturb you with some questions."

"No problem," Chang Keqing coldly waved her arm, turned away proudly, "See you at the orientation meeting."

"Orientation meeting," Li Zheng waved goodbye.

After Chang Keqing left Li Zheng’s line of sight.

She directly hugged her phone and sprinted away with her head down.

Ahahaha!

Craving for someone good at studying?

Should have said so earlier!!

No one in all of Yingpei is better at studying than me!

Acting so hesitant, definitely like me, without a partner.

Ahahaha!
