Chapter 504 Bottleneck
On the 29th.

A huge giant city appeared in front of Zhou Ming and others.

There is a lot of traffic, noisy and lively, and there are stretches of high-rise buildings, one taller than the other.

With a population of nearly 2000 million, the city's GDP still ranks first in Wancheng.

In terms of technological level, population quality, infrastructure, etc., it will take at least five to ten years for other nearby cities to catch up.

Daxian College in the west of the city.

It is the greatest pride of the city.

Covering an area of ​​more than 3000 mu, it has more than [-] high-quality students, [-] professors of various types, and more than ten super-large buildings.

Including a library with a collection of over 5000 million volumes, it is 200 meters high and has [-] floors, which can accommodate [-] students for review.

In the four corners of the campus, there are four super-large Juling Pagodas, each 160 meters high and with 40 floors. Each Juling Pagoda can accommodate up to [-] students for cultivation.

The four large Juling Pagodas can basically meet the cultivation needs of the teachers and students of the whole school.

In addition, Daxian College also has a large number of sports facilities, student activity centers, auditoriums and other facilities to enrich students' spare time life.

The most eye-catching thing is the mountain behind the school. The statue of the sage Zhang Shanhe carved out of the mountain can be seen throughout Zhenlin City.

Coupled with the college’s nearly 50-year history of establishment, and the campus environment lined with trees and fragrant with birds and flowers, Daxian College has always been the first choice for outstanding students to apply for the exam.

The admission score of 558 points announced this year means that only students who are close to the middle stage of condensate can be admitted to this prestigious college.

And at the age of 14 or 5 years old, not to mention reaching the mid-condensation stage, or breaking through to the condensation stage, it can be said that he is a genius born in a thousand miles.

With such geniuses, Daxian College recruits more than 1 people every year.

This would have been unimaginable 20 years ago.

The "Cultivation Era for All" designed by Zhou Ming in his previous life has finally come true.

On the 30th.

Take the admission notice to go through the admission procedures.

According to different majors, the tuition fee for each student ranges from 8 to 10 Lingcoins. Considering the family conditions of some students, the school can also provide grants and student loans, as well as some part-time jobs suitable for poor students. Make an application.

Furthermore, the cultivation of a monk in the liquid condensation period represents his repayment ability, so there is no need to worry about his failure to pay the tuition.

However, Zhou Ming, a local tyrant, not only paid his own tuition fees, but he also paid the tuition fees of Chen En, Lei Zuo Leiyou, and Zhang Yu, who are generally not rich in money. Zhou Ming didn't want them to pay it back, saying that he only helped them with the tuition fees for the first year and the next few years, and they paid for it with their own money.

Chen En insisted: "No matter what, if we make money in the future, we must return it to the boss first."

"I hope the boss will respect our abilities." Brother Lei Zuo and Lei You also had the same meaning.

"I will return it to you within this semester as soon as possible." Zhang Yu said, she found a part-time job yesterday with a monthly salary of [-], and she was very satisfied with the part-time job.

Zhou Ming nodded and didn't say much.

Then there are the respective professions.

According to the different attributes of the human body, there are a total of 15 colleges with mixed attributes such as gold, wood, water, fire, wind, yin, yang, water wood, gold wood, water wind, wind fire, wind wood, etc. .

Among them, the number of students in the five single-attribute practice schools of metal, wood, water, fire, and wind accounted for more than 90% of the new students.

Other rare or mixed attributes such as yin, yang, water wood, gold wood, water wind, etc., account for less than 10% of the new students.

For example, Chen En, he has a wind-type physique, so he entered the wind-type academy.

The brothers Lei Zuo and Lei You all have golden physiques, so they all entered the gold academy.

Zhang Yu has a fire physique, so he went to a fire academy.

As for Zhou Ming, he is an extremely rare body of all spirits. He can practice any type of exercise, and can join any department. In Daxian College, there is no college of all departments, and at most one can be mixed.

So no matter which department he applied for, he might not be completely suitable.

However, because he had a wood-type physique in his previous life, the "Hunyuan Xianjue" he practiced had a special bonus effect on the metal-type, so after thinking about it, he still applied for the metal-wood type.

In addition, each student of Daxian College has to register for an elective subject.

Among those elective subjects, there are several major subjects to choose from: Alchemy, Equipment Refining, Agriculture, Industry, Commerce, and Diplomacy.

Zhou Ming chose the refining subject, which he was more interested in, as his elective subject.

……

9 month 1 day.

Daxian College officially opened.

The Jinmu Department is a small department of Daxian College, with three classes and more than 120 students.

Class 1 a year is Zhou Ming's class.

There are a total of 45 students in the class, the ratio of male to female is about 4:1. The head teacher is surnamed Jiang, male, about a hundred years old, a fairy with golden wood physique, he thinks highly of Zhou Ming, and asked him to In the name of the representative of the new students, I came to the stage to speak a few words and talk about my experience in the process of cultivation.

Zhou Ming said a few words casually, but as the top student in the college entrance examination, he must have a lot of dry goods in his stomach.

The students who wanted to take some dry goods out of his mouth refused to let go of this opportunity and asked many questions.

Zhou Ming talked eloquently without any stage fright. One lecture lasted most of the class. Not only did he spit out a lot of dry stuff, but he was also humorous and approachable, which left a good impression on the students.

So in the election of class cadres in the second class, he became the class monitor with 42 votes.

Although he found it a bit troublesome, Zhou Ming accepted the position. After all, there were only 40 people in the class, so it would not be too strenuous to manage, and it would not delay his cultivation.

And these classmates, he will have a lot of places to rely on in the future... More people are more powerful, and more helpers and partners can bring a lot of help.

Finally, there is the issue of accommodation.

He can consider living in a student dormitory for four people on campus.

You can also rent a house off-campus and rent a better room by yourself.

Zhou Ming chose the latter—to rent a house off-campus.

Because of some things, it was inconvenient for him to be seen by others, and the eldest and young master had lived for a long time, and he was not used to living with others, so he asked Ah Fu to find a three-story villa with good conditions outside the school.

It is less than 2 kilometers away from the school, and the rent is 2 Lingcoins per month.

This price made Zhou Ming a little speechless. After decades, the price level of Zhenlin City has become exaggerated like this.

In fact, what is even more exaggerated is the housing prices in Zhenlin City, which is the suburbs outside the Sixth and Seventh Ring Roads. The housing prices are more than 2 per square meter. If it is close to the city center, the housing prices are easily tens of thousands, 10,000+ per square meter.

Such a housing price, not to mention ordinary people who cannot afford it, even the monk class, is a bit difficult to buy a commercial house of more than 160 square meters, and may need a mortgage for 20 years.

Of course, no matter how high or unreasonable the house price is, Zhou Ming can't control it. No one can change the law of economic development and the greedy nature of businessmen.

After moving into the cottage.

Zhou Ming's life is basically three points and one line: attending classes, practicing, resting, occasionally organizing a few student activities, meeting with Chen En, Luo Xiaopang and the others, chatting, having a meal... life is ordinary And easy-going.

Zhou Ming likes this kind of life very much, this kind of life in an ivory tower.

But he was also troubled.

The annoyance of being stuck in a bottleneck.

His cultivation has been stuck at the peak of the late stage of liquid condensation, and it has been nearly two years.

There has been no breakthrough.

Because of the experience shared with Ye Kong, he thought that he would not encounter bottlenecks—at least not until he broke through to the trance stage.

But in fact, before he broke through to the hard pill stage, he encountered a bottleneck.

Zhou Ming believes that it may be because of his young age, or because of his skills, or it may be related to his special physique.

In short, there are many reasons why the experience sharing function of the system cannot be effective.

Zhou Ming had to find a way to make a breakthrough by himself.

So he needs some references.

You need to enter the highest level of the college library - the 50th floor, to find some information.

However, the 50th floor of the library is never open to ordinary students, even Immortals, if they don't have enough national contribution points, they are not eligible to enter.

But when Zhou Ming came to the gate of the 50th floor, in front of the listless old gatekeeper, he took out a crystal card made of special materials, and waved it in front of him.

The old gatekeeper's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes shone!
He stared at Zhou Ming in front of him, breathing heavily in his chest.

"you are……"

The old gatekeeper spat out two words, using an honorific title, his body trembling slightly.

"Shh, don't get excited, I'm going in to check the information."

Zhou Ming made a silence gesture and stated his purpose.

The old gatekeeper quickly calmed down, bowed slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Please come in."

Zhou Ming walked to the door, inserted the crystal card into the card slot, poured a burst of spiritual energy, and slowly opened the heavy alchemy door...

　It's a bit stuck...haven't conceived a good plot yet
