Chapter 4: The Mad Campus

"What kind of look is that?" Sui Ge said seriously, "I chose to apply for this major because I firmly believe it is the most promising major at Dongda University!"

Sui Ge first took a bus for one hour, arriving at the Dongjiang City Bus Station. Then, he took a minibus for over forty minutes to reach a small town. Finally, he took a tricycle for ten minutes before arriving at his destination: Dongjiang University, Fafeng Campus

"This is the major." Sui Ge said

A few days after entering the school, Sui Ge learned from others that this seemingly insane campus was actually converted from a labor reform farm. It was then that Sui Ge understood why the school's walls were so tall and sturdy

Through this incident, Sui Ge also understood a principle: while dogskin plaster is effective for healing wounds, it does not enhance one's appeal in courting.

However, living without worries about food and drink is not the life goal of Sui Ge; he has always been preoccupied with one matter, which is to cure the old landlord's lameness

Sui Ge came to his senses and quickly got up from the bed

The less prestigious faculties, such as the College of Agriculture, the College of Mechanical Engineering, the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the College of Humanities and Mathematics, are located in the Fafeng Campus. The Fafeng Campus is named after Fafeng Town, which is situated twenty kilometers away from the city center. However, among the students at Dongda, it is jokingly referred to as the "Crazy Campus," as it is said that staying here for too long may drive one to madness

According to Suige www.hetushu.com, perhaps the expertise in grassland science can broaden his horizons, expand his knowledge, and provide the key to unlocking the doubts in his mind

It is precisely for this reason that Sui Ge chose the field of grass science, as he aims to cultivate the "immortal herbs" that can be combined into "elixirs" to heal the old landlord's lameness.

"What happened?" Sui Ge, lying on the bed with a copy of "Botany" in hand, cast a questioning glance at Jiang Tao

This phrase was often on the lips of the old landlord, who believed that "grass" was the key to unlocking other "immortal formulas"

The character for 'alcohol' is at the front, while the character for 'medicine' is at the top

The old landlord's affliction is also Suige's affliction. However, Suige did not choose to apply to medical school; instead, he applied for a major in Grassland Science, because he is well aware that with current medical techniques, it is impossible to cure the old landlord's lameness. Therefore, to heal the old landlord's leg, one must seek alternative paths, even hoping for a miracle to occur

Although Dongda University is a key national university, the distribution of its programs varies significantly. The esteemed programs are all located at the main campus in the urban area of Dongjiang City, which boasts complete facilities and a beautiful environment. The campus features picturesque bridges, flowing water, melodious birds, fragrant flowers, and serene lakes with small islands, making it an ideal place for both academic pursuits and romantic endeavors.

Gao Feng, while smoking a cigarette and frantically clicking the mouse, casually remarked to Tu Shu: "I told you long ago, what major to switch to? It’s all the same, isn’t it? Every day is just about playing World of Warcraft and chasing girls, chasing girls and playing World of Warcraft."

A single sentence from Jiang Tao pulled Sui Ge out of his contemplation

For this reason, ever since he became aware of his surroundings, Sui Ge's greatest desire has not been to search for his biological parents, but rather to cure the old landlord's lameness. However, the old landlord's right leg is a congenital disability; the bones were soft at birth and could not bear weight, relying solely on crutches for support. At that time, during a period of social upheaval, the old landlord was abandoned by his parents and became a beggar. Later, during the "Destroy the Four Olds" campaign, the old landlord had a stroke of luck and obtained two prescriptions, one of which was a dog-skin plaster. Relying on these two "miraculous remedies," the old landlord became the most famous barefoot doctor in the surrounding area and also became the "wealthiest man" in Yongquan Village.

Sui Ge is not the biological grandson of the old landlord. When he was three years old, the old landlord found him while going to the market in town. At that time, Sui Ge was just a dirty little beggar, dressed in rags and barefoot, nearly too hungry to walk. The old landlord had no sons or daughters, so he raised Sui Ge as if he were his own grandson. Although the old landlord could be quite stingy at times, he treated Sui Ge exceptionally well.

At this moment, it was noon. Jiang Tao had just finished a phone call on the balcony, and Sui Ge vaguely heard him mentioning something about "changing majors." Judging by Jiang Tao's expression, it seemed that the matter of changing majors might have fallen through.

Liu Xiaotong merely sighed deeply and continued to recite English vocabulary, for he could not even comfort himself, let alone Jiang Tao. Upon learning that the employment rate for the major in Grass Science was exceedingly low, he, burdened with the expectations of his family and even the entire clan, immediately broke down in tears and resolved to return to repeat the year. However, due to the school's refusal to refund tuition and accommodation fees, the unfortunate Liu Xiaotong had no choice but to stay and began preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination and to remain at the school. Since learning about the dismal employment rate for the Grass Science major, he, carrying the weight of his family's and entire clan's expectations, had immediately cried and decided to go back to repeat the year. But later, due to the school's refusal to refund tuition and accommodation fees, the pitiful Liu Xiaotong had to stay and began preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination and to remain at the school. Yet, as a result of this blow, he, who was already shy, became even more taciturn.

The three of them are all professionals who have been assigned here. It is said that this year the major in Grassland Science has not even filled its quota; the vast majority of students have been assigned to this major. They have never heard of anyone voluntarily applying for this major before.

In this dilapidated campus, there are surprisingly no tennis courts where short skirts flutter and female hormones abound, nor are there swimming pools where one can appreciate the beauty of "the peaks appear as ridges from one angle and as summits from another, each varying in size and softness." Even the two major sanctuaries for gathering beautiful women are absent, making the prospects for dating naturally bleak. It is no wonder that so many people have gone mad; they must be feeling quite pent up.

"It's over," Jiang Tao said angrily. "My dad said there are too many people wanting to change majors this year, and the people he contacted at www.hetushu.com are not helpful. Damn it, I've wasted several thousand yuan for nothing"

However, the limp has always been a source of distress for the old landlord. It is precisely for this reason that he has insisted on remaining unmarried, claiming that he does not wish to bring forth a disabled offspring and thus hinder a young woman's life.

Jiang Tao felt a bit stifled for a moment, then suddenly, with some curiosity, asked Sui Ge: "Sui Ge, what major did you actually choose as your first choice?"

"Cut it out!" Jiang Tao made a dismissive gesture, "Classmate Sui Ge, you must still be half asleep from your nap, right? Who doesn't know that the major in Grass Science is the worst at Dongda? You actually dare to talk about a future, it's truly hopeless. Let me remind you, when you pursue girls in the future, you must never mention that you are in the Grass Science major, otherwise they definitely won't pay you any attention"

Sui Ge, what are you thinking about? Are you feeling amorous? Hurry up and go to class!

One of them, wearing glasses for severe myopia and somewhat irritable, is named Jiang Tao, a local from Dongjiang City. The other, pale, thin, and dressed simply, is named Liu Xiaotong, who, like Sui Ge, comes from a rural background but is from a poor family. There is also another person named Gao Feng, a typical "game enthusiast," who regards computers as women. However, unlike most gamers who are usually emaciated, he is quite robust and is the strongest member of the dormitory.

The dormitory where Sui Ge resides is numbered 403, which corresponds to the fourth floor, room three. In addition to Sui Ge, there are three other members.

After getting off the train, the enchanting young lady quickly disappeared into the crowd. Sui Ge lingered for a while in regret before heading to school to register.

Moreover, the teaching buildings and dormitories are extremely outdated, lacking any sense of romance, vitality, or cultural atmosphere

Sui Ge did not continue to argue with Jiang Tao on this issue; his choice of this major was indeed made after careful consideration. Although Sui Ge is a rural student, during his middle school years, an old landlord provided him with a computer, and through the internet, Sui Ge's knowledge is no less than that of urban students. The major in Grassland Science is indeed one of the least favorable in terms of employment at Dongda University, but Sui Ge's decision to choose this major was not driven by employment or job prospects.

This major—Grass Science? Jiang Tao looked at Sui Ge as if he were a monster, and even Gao Feng and Liu Xiaotong became curious.

Upon entering the Mad School District, Sui Ge could not help but feel greatly disappointed

If it were solely for the purpose of work and earning money, Sui Ge need not attend university. Not to mention anything else, just the prescription for the dog-skin plaster left by the old landlord would be sufficient for Sui Ge to live a life free from worries about food and drink.

This is also what Sui Ge believes is the only way to repay the old landlord

Although Sui Ge's heroic rescue of the beauty was performed very successfully, the situation did not develop in the ideal direction of the beauty being enamored and offering herself in return. Sui Ge did not obtain any important information such as the beauty's name or phone number. It seems that for Sui Ge to break the title of "absolute and complete virgin," he still has a long way to go
