The next day.
A ray of morning sunlight stread into the bedroom of Ding Yue’s apartnt, waking him as it stung his eyes.
Ding Yue had experienced similar mornings countless tis during his years at Mist City Arts and Science University—sleeping until he woke naturally, feeling refreshed. On the surface, everything seed indistinguishable from the usual.
But soon, Ding Yue realized that things were different now.
Everything was starting to change. After waking up today, he was reminded that Mist City Arts and Science University now only had students from three year groups left. The first batch of students had already begun leaving the school after yesterday’s graduation ceremony.
More people would be leaving today.
They were moving out of dorms they had lived in for four years, saying goodbye to a campus where they had spent so many morable days. Though reluctant to part, they had no choice.
Of course,
not all of the first batch of graduates would leave the university.
For instance, people like Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei, who were already employees of Feiyue Group, could stay on campus. Not only that, but many of them intended to pursue postgraduate studies, and later on, their doctoral degrees. There was no urgency for them to move away.
Additionally, those students who had opted to start their own businesses in the campus’s comrcial district wouldn’t be leaving either. Their enterprises were based in the university—they could graduate and continue operating their stores right there. It was a win-win situation. They could stay at the school they were sentintally attached to and make money at the sa ti. Honestly, wasn’t that just a dream co true?
Thinking about how one batch of students had already left Mist City Arts and Science University, Ding Yue felt a hint of sorrow in his heart.
These students had been nurtured by Mist City Arts and Science University. While they might not all be prodigies, the majority of them were as competent as graduates from top-tier universities.
The exceptionally talented ones had already been absorbed into Feiyue Group. The rest of the graduates had been recruited by various companies. The reputation Mist City Arts and Science University had built over the past few years had undoubtedly helped them with their job searches. When potential employers heard that soone was a graduate of Mist City Arts and Science University, they didn’t hesitate—even if the applicant’s field of study was obscure, they could always find a position relevant to their expertise.
This was the influence the university had accumulated over the years.
"Big White, why do I feel this small sense of loss? Is it because a batch of students from Mist City Arts and Science University has left? Sigh."
After waking up, as he went to wash up, Ding Yue casually chatted with Big White.
"Humans have emotions, desires, and attachnts,"
Big White replied.
"Indeed."
Ding Yue nodded and said, "Human emotions are unpredictable. Take last night, for example—I had already made peace with the fact that students inevitably leave campus to embrace their new lives. But after waking up today, I still find myself feeling a sense of loss over their departure."
After finishing his morning routine, Ding Yue went to the Fifth Canteen as usual to have breakfast.
Once breakfast was over, he headed to the administrative building and entered his office as the university’s president.
Before falling asleep last night, Ding Yue had opened a Level-Five University Treasure Chest. Inside, he had found blueprints and technology for a nuclear-powered engine. Today, he planned to distribute the blueprints and related technologies to the appropriate departnts and students.
The first person who ca to mind was his younger sister, Ding Xiaoyou.
Nuclear-powered engine technology was closely tied to energy systems, so of course his sister, Ding Xiaoyou, was the perfect candidate to spearhead this project. She had the talent and ability for it, and Ding Yue was confident that once the technology was handed over to her, it wouldn’t take long for her to master it.
Aside from his sister, Ding Yue also planned to involve so faculty and students from the physics departnt. After all, nuclear-powered engines were a massive engineering endeavor. Relying solely on Ding Xiaoyou would make the effort seem sowhat limited. Forming a team led by his sister would be the most suitable approach.
With these thoughts in mind,
Ding Yue stayed in his office for half an hour before setting out for the research base center.
No need to guess—his sister, Ding Xiaoyou, was surely there.
Whenever Ding Xiaoyou didn’t have other obligations, she could always be found in her lab, engrossed in her research. This was simply the way of a genius scholar.
Not to ntion, his sister Ding Xiaoyou wasn’t just any genius scholar.
Ding Yue was certain that his sister, one day, would beco an individual like Newton or Einstein—soone who could profoundly influence the advancent of human civilization. Of course, all of this would happen with his quiet support behind the scenes.
"Brother, why are you here?"
In the energy laboratory of the research base center, Ding Xiaoyou, upon seeing her brother Ding Yue, happily approached him.
These days, Ding Xiaoyou’s admiration for her brother had deepened even further. Even their daily conversations were no longer as playful as before, though given her naturally mischievous personality, she still liked to tease him on occasion.
"Just ca to check things out, see what you’ve been working on lately,"
Ding Yue said with a smile.
"It’s related to nuclear energy, of course. You know, as energy developnt progresses, it’s bound to revolve around nuclear energy—it’s unavoidable,"
Ding Xiaoyou shrugged and replied.
