The school was well prepared. After only a minute, the bulletproof SUV Li Mochen and the others were in broke through the encirclement and slowly drove into the campus.
However, Li Mochen did not have an easy time at the school.
After a few months, he once again experienced the feeling of being the center of attention. However, unlike in the Origin Dome Realm, where people's gazes were either filled with respect, adoration, fear, or hatred, the majority of people in Linden Academy looked at him as if he was a monkey. The rest of them were either filled with pity, worry, and pain, or disdain and schadenfreude.
Even the teachers in the school were unabashedly paying attention to him.
Li Mochen felt helpless. After the first class, he simply entered the state of Tianxin. Then, he enjoyed himself and began to understand the mysteries of mysticism and magic in his memory. This was beneficial for him to understand the way of heaven.
As for the comments and gazes of others? There was no need to care. Did the heavens ever care about those ants who stared at the sky?
It was not until the end of the fourth class that Li Mochen ended Tianxin under the psychological suggestion and went to the cafeteria with William for lunch.
In the hallway, they met Gavin Georgia, who was also their Vice Principal.
"I heard that you submitted an application to the school to calculate your class hours and GPA as a sports talent student?"
"I submitted the application to the new grade advisor yesterday."
Li Mochen answered frankly, "I have no problem with my studies, but I need more time to exercise."
In the end, he still chose the path of a student athlete. It could not be helped. He would be even busier after the opening of the 11 general stores of Xuri Company.
By then, it would be difficult for him to gather the class hours for his major courses.
Sports talent students needed much less class hours and it was easier for them to ask for leave. William was very relaxed now. He had already registered as a member of the Mixed Martial Sports Association a month ago and had applied for the membership with the help of several coaches.
Sports talent students would be treated differently in top universities such as MIT and Harvard.
That wasn't discrimination. A fighting star was widely respected and worshipped by almost all levels of American society.
However, there was still a gap between those who thought they were smarter than others and the boorish people in their eyes. Then there were the children of famous families, who looked down on the nouveau riche who relied on fighting ability and magic ability to make a living.
But it didn't matter. Those nerds were never in his social circle. As for the disciples of the famous families, whether it was the commoners or the fighting stars, they all looked down on them.
In order to interact with these people, the identity of a well-known entrepreneur was far more advantageous than that of a student with excellent academic performance.
Moreover, the main purpose of Li Mochen entering the top universities was to borrow their libraries.
He had already heard that the internal library of Stanford University on the West Coast was much more lenient than other schools.
This was a famous school that rose after World War II. Now, with the backing of several arms companies and electronics giants, it already had the strength of top universities such as MIT and Harvard.
Stanford University's rich collection of books was also famous in the whole of Amelia. It was not inferior to the Ivy League by much.
George shook his head and said disapprovingly, "You are one of the best students in our school.
George shook his head and said disapprovingly, "You're one of the best students in our school. You can even remove the word 'one of'. As long as you can maintain this result, you can choose from the famous schools on the East and West Coasts. But in mixed martial arts, many people think that you are just lucky — "
"I'll try to apply first. If it doesn't work, then we'll talk about it."
Li Mochen did not care. He estimated that after this afternoon, the school would change their minds.
If it really did not work, he could ask Louise Linden for help. Otherwise, he would threaten to transfer schools.
"Okay, I will try my best to help you."
George generously said that he would help, but then he turned around and asked in a somewhat serious tone, "Are you confident in this afternoon's match? André. "
When he asked this, William Jacques also pricked up his ears.
He was actually very worried about the match in the afternoon. He was afraid that Li Mochen would be beaten back to his original state after this fight.
William felt that the fighting commentary programs on TV were very reasonable. Nathan Sports Group was probably using Li Mochen to create hype. Once the latter was no longer useful, they would leave him alone.
But every time he tried to remind Li Mochen, the latter would always put on a very helpless and annoyed expression.
"Mr. George, are you worried that I will lose too badly and embarrass you?"
Li Mochen could not help but laugh. "So, do you think that the people from Nathan Sports Group are idiots who don't know what's good for them? Investing so many resources just for a hype that is bound to be blown out of proportion? Isn't this making a wedding dress for their competitors? And if it is really a hype, then I should admit defeat now and stop while I'm ahead. "
"I think so too. Investing so many publicity resources before the match and making the topic so explosive seems very suspicious."
George laughed and then patted Li Mochen's shoulder heavily. "That's why I bet 2000 gold duns on you. Since there's a chance of winning, then do your best, André. I have high hopes for you!"
"See —"
After George left, Li Mochen gave William a sidelong glance. "Smart people can see through the truth. Humans have to learn to judge for themselves and not follow what others say. Do you understand? There's a saying in the ancient Eastern countries, 'After three days apart, one should look at others in a different light.' It means that even if you don't see someone for three days, they might still improve a lot. You must not look at others with the old way of looking at them. William, don't always be stuck in your old impressions. "
"Sh * t, I feel that you're looking down on my intelligence!"
William Jacques cursed and then fell into deep thought. He felt that what George said was very reasonable. Who should he listen to?
…
At the same time, in the Naessen Gate building, after a meeting, Dwight Payton immediately walked out of the conference room and into the elevator used by the senior management of the company.
His assistant, Carl Holden, followed behind him. "Deputy Chairman of the Kalise Corporation called. He wants to meet with you in the afternoon for a chat and dinner."
"Kalise Corporation? I don't have time. Tell him that if he must meet, then postpone it to the day after tomorrow. "
Dwight Payton twisted his tie, his expression impatient. "Carl, you know what I have to do in the afternoon. That match is the most important matter for the company now. Nothing else can take precedence over it."
"Alright, I'll call him back later."
Carl had guessed that this would be the result. He was not surprised at all. "Also, the information department has also gathered new information. They have noticed that other than Penguin Corporation, Acadis Sporting Goods Corporation has also invested resources in various major media outlets to add fuel to the fire."
