The four laboratories of Beijing University and University A were the only way to the research institute.

But entering the laboratory required going through several interviews and selection processes.

They basically continued onto graduate school, and only students led by doctoral professors could enter.

As for sophomores…

Some of them didn’t even know what the laboratory was.

The laboratory’s development had already ripened, and each school only selected a few people every year. The specific number depended on the quality of students.

News in Beijing was blocked from the outside world, especially the existence of the research institute. No trace could be found on the Internet, and only the four big families knew the details.

Naturally, Leng Peishan and Ouyang Wei were knowledgeable about it.

They also knew how difficult it was to enter the laboratory. There were several selection processes and countless restrictions. Even the four major families had to rely on their own strength to enter the research institute.

Leng Peishan found it indecipherable after hearing Qin Ran describe it as “not difficult.”

She glanced at her, certain that she had nothing to do with the Qin family. Even if the Qin family had fallen and had no control over the research institute anymore, it wasn’t to the point where the juniors were so ignorant.

After all… the Qin family had been planning to regain control over the years.

She felt relieved again at this thought.

The last mercenary who spoke to her in this tone might still be barbecuing.

Without turning on her computer, Qin Ran just leaned back in her chair and smiled at Leng Peishan. “Yeah, I don’t know. Tell us what you know.”

Sensing the tension in the air, Nan Huiyao immediately stood up and played dumb. “Peishan, aren’t you sleeping? Go to bed quickly. Ran Ran, let’s play a game together. Have you downloaded the Kyushu Tour yet?”

Leng Peishan was actually very good at roping in the will of people. On the first day she arrived at the dormitory, she had given Nan Huiyao and Yang Yi a bunch of gifts, such as facial masks, sunscreen, and snacks or milk tea that she had brought back from dinner with her seniors.

They were both on good terms with her.

But…

Nan Huiyao really couldn’t understand why Leng Peishan behaved like a different person towards Qin Ran?

At this thought, she turned to look at Qin Ran. She was looking through the new textbook with her legs propped up casually. The incandescent lamp in the bedroom shone against her white jade-like side-profile, casting shadows under her long and dense eyelashes…

She believed that Qin Ran would definitely make it big if she entered the entertainment industry.

Just like her husband

And both their surnames were Qin.

She sat back down and glanced at Leng Peishan, who had already climbed onto her bed.

Leng Peishan was actually not bad, either. She was also one of the campus belles. When she came to the dormitory on the first day, Nan Huiyao had already arrived and naturally remembered three or four seniors following behind her.

Her reputation had even spread to the Automation Department.

That was until Qin Ran’s arrival…

Nan Huiyao fell deep in thought.

**

The next day.

7:20 am.

The Automation Department’s first class was Mathematics.

After washing up and putting on light makeup, Nan Huiyao saw Qin Ran coming out of the bathroom and quickly handed the book to her. “Hurry up! We’re going to be late.”

Yang Yi was already waiting for them with her book.

Higher Mathematics was a specialized class. Class 1 and 2 were taught together, so Yang Yi naturally went with them.

“Which classroom is it?” Qin Ran casually took a pen and followed them out.

“South A’s Building 304?” Nan Huiyao wasn’t very sure. Flipping over to the first page, she checked the time and classroom of the lesson. “That’s right. South A’s Building 304.”

Qin Ran was without her book. Looking down, she casually rolled up her sleeves and narrowed her beautiful eyes. “Then, we might be on a different path.”

Nan Huiyao and Yang Yi were both dumbfounded.

“I’m going to the Academic Affairs building first.” These buildings were on different roads. Qin Ran put her hands behind her head, seemingly in a good mood. “I probably won’t be attending the Automation Department’s classes.” She smiled casually.

She had told Dean Jiang that she would only take the Automation Department’s mid-term and final exams and then classes on the Nuclear Engineering side.

Staring after her, Nan Huiyao and Yang Yi exchanged glances while on their small bicycles. The meaning in their eyes was very obvious: She dared to skip the first class?

The class bell had yet to ring when they arrived in the classroom.

Sitting in the last row, Xing Kai saw Nan Huiyao coming in from the back door and immediately waved to her. “Over here!”

News of an arrogant beauty in Class 1 who had even beat Cheng Qingyu had already spread in the boys’ dormitory and Class 2. They all turned around after hearing this—

But they only saw Yang Yi and Nan Huiyao.

“Huh?” Taken aback, Xing Kai made way for Nan Huiyao. “Where’s Qin Ran?”

Nan Huiyao vaguely replied, “She took leave.”

She didn’t dare to say that her roommate had been arrogant enough to… skip class.

In Dean Jiang’s office.

“Dean Jiang, why are you here so early?” The teaching assistant, tidying the office, glanced at him, very surprised.

Dean Jiang managed everything on a daily basis and didn’t take any lessons. He occasionally brought a few graduate students to do their papers, but usually, he couldn’t be reached in the office. He mostly spent his time in the Physics Department.

So, why was he here so early?

Sitting at his desk, Dean Jiang raised his wrist to look at the time. It was 7:40 am. “I came to do something,” he replied.

Puzzled, the teaching assistant put aside the things at hand and poured him a cup of tea.

Within a few minutes, there was a knock on the door.

The busy teaching assistant clearly saw Dean Jiang’s eyes light up and his back straighten.

Who was it?

Before he could think further, a girl in a white shirt came in.

Dean Jiang stood up with his hands on the table and pushed a textbook already prepared on the table to her side. “This is the textbook. I’ve already informed the instructor. Do you have the curriculum schedule for the Nuclear Engineering Department?”

He glanced at the teaching assistant as he spoke. “Print the freshman curriculum schedule for Nuclear Engineering.”

Although Nuclear Engineering was Qin Ran’s second major, the school hadn’t recorded it yet, and she only had one major in the educational administration system.

Thus, she didn’t have the curriculum schedule.

The teaching assistant quickly retracted his gaze and turned on the computer to check the curriculum schedule.

“No worries, I have the class schedule,” said Qin Ran as she took out a pile of books.

Holding the warm teacup, Dean Jiang didn’t drink it and just subconsciously looked up. “How did you get it?”

Qin Ran just silently glanced at him.

After remembering how she had hacked into the educational administration system half a month ago, Dean Jiang put down his teacup and said, “Student Qin Ran, please take note next time. The Engineering Department has it hard too.”

Qin Ran nodded and realized this was a school, after all. “I’m sorry. It won’t happen again,” she said rather apologetically.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Accustomed to it, Dean Jiang just waved it off good-naturedly. He thought of something and asked, “Since you’re taking two majors, do you want to enter the laboratory in the future?”

Qin Ran had yet to investigate the Beijing University’s laboratory. Hearing this, she also looked up. “What are the requirements for entering?”

“There’s an assessment. Generally, ten outstanding people are selected among the seniors. The final decision will be made by the doctors in the laboratory.” This matter was also very important to Dean Jiang. After all, the laboratory was related to the research institute. “But there are exceptions.”

Qin Ran held the book with her other hand and motioned for him to continue.

Dean Jiang said with a smile, “Those who finish learning the basics ahead of time and achieve excellent grades can enter the laboratory in advance. Last year’s college entrance examination top scorer, Song Luting, is also from Yun Cheng. He entered our Physics Department’s laboratory at the beginning of the semester.”

The freshmen who could pass this kind of perverted assessment were considered natural geniuses.

They held complete advantage over the seniors.

Until now, people were still worshiping Song Luting during their major exams.

Speaking of this, Dean Jiang lowered his voice. “Student Qin Ran, if you focus on Automation, I guarantee that you’ll enter the laboratory three or four times faster than him. The doctors like people like you.”

She calculated things in her brain faster than the calculator and could go up against Song Luting.

When Song Luting first entered the laboratory, several doctors had almost fought for him, but Dean Jiang had come forward to settle the matter.

Qin Ran nodded and finally understood what Song Luting had meant by “easy.”

She ignored Dean Jiang’s request for her to focus on Automation and politely bade him farewell.

After she left, the teaching assistant put down the files she had compiled and pondered. “This year’s college entrance examination’s top scorer wants to study two majors in her freshman year?”

“She chose Automation but is majoring in Nuclear Engineering.” Dean Jiang lowered his head and blew the tea powder. “We’re all waiting for her to enter the laboratory. She’ll probably enter no later than Song Luting.”

The teacher assistant gasped with widened eyes. This was even more impressive than the sophomore Song Luting…

Taking two majors and even entering the laboratory in the freshman year?

Was this year’s freshman teaching the elders how to be human?
