"..."
This name seemed to take away all the sounds around him.
He Xun's mind went blank again, and he couldn't even stand properly.
His fingers trembled as he held the copy of the admission letter.
Although He Xun was a student of a D-ranked academy and couldn't enter Norton University's core, he knew that SS-ranked academies hadn't accepted students for a long time.
Therefore, Wen Tinglan was the only SS-ranked student that Norton University had accepted in the past three years!
The professor saw that He Xun was still in a daze, so he took the copy of the admission letter from his hands.
He Xun gradually came back to his senses when his hands were empty. He said with difficulty, "Just because the school board member... can he just shove people into SS-ranked academies?"
If Ying Zijin hadn't opened the back door for Wen Tinglan, how could Wen Tinglan get into SS-ranked academies and be a mechanic?
Even if He Xun was sure that Wen Tinglan could get into Norton University, he would at most be an A-ranked student.
SS-ranked?
He wasn't qualified at all.
"Mr. He, are you running a fever and talking nonsense?" Hearing this, the professor was so angry that he laughed. His expression turned cold. "The school's admission rules are set by the principal, and we've never made any changes or concessions for anyone."
He simply took the computer and placed it in front of He Xun, then pointed at a document.
"Wen Tinglan, IQ 228, second only to the genius scientists in history. He's very capable and can restore a third-order rubik's cube in three seconds."
"When he was five years old, he could already take apart a broken Walkman, take out the broken parts, and put them back together. He could still listen to music with the Walkman."
Towards the end, the professor calmed down. "Mr. He, why don't you tell me, does a genius like this need to enter SS-ranked academies through the back door?"
If he wasn't suitable, Ying Zijin wouldn't have sent Wen Tinglan to the Mechanic Department.
In any case, she had excluded the Alchemy and Supernatural Majors from the list.
No matter how normal a person was, they would become crazy if they entered these two departments.
Norton University's technology was far ahead of the rest of the world, and the students and professors of the Mechanic Department had contributed a lot.
He Xun looked at the records in the document. His lips moved, but he couldn't say a word.
With such powerful analytical skills, Wen Tinglan was indeed a genius among geniuses.
"Oh right, Mr. He." The professor adjusted his glasses. "I heard that after you graduated, you chose to work as a high school teacher. The school where you teach seems to be the same as Wen Tinglan, right?"
He Xun still did not respond.
An unprecedented feeling of regret filled his heart, and it felt like it was about to explode.
He could even imagine what would have happened if he hadn't taken away Wen Tinglan's interview qualification and brought Wen Tinglan to Norton University.
Then he would be the first teacher to teach an SS level student.
Not only would his degree not be revoked, but he would also have the opportunity to stay in school.
But now, there was nothing left.
Without a degree from Norton University, a top Hua County high school like Qing Zhi would not hire him.
There was practically nowhere for him to go.
"I've delivered the message. I still have to go teach the students." The professor looked at the watch on his wrist. "Mr. He, let me remind you that the last train tonight is at 9: 30. Don't miss it."
**
Norton University's external and internal intranet were different.
Only students and professors could access the internal intranet, while the external intranet was open to the whole world.
As the world's number one university, Norton University's official website naturally attracted a lot of attention from the outside world.
Even if it was just an announcement of the revocation of a degree.
Last year, there was also an announcement, but there was no name, only a number.
This year was different. There was a sentence in the announcement:
[After careful consideration, the university has decided to revoke the degree certificates of He Xun and 679 other students.]
He Xun's name immediately attracted a lot of attention, including some big shots.
But at most, they had an impression of it and forgot about it after a few days.
Someone whose degree certificate was revoked by Norton University was worthy of their attention?
He wasn't worthy at all.
But at Qing Zhi High School, He Xun had brought three students to Norton University for an interview, so more attention was paid to him.
"Principal, we've been scammed!" The Dean of Academic Affairs slammed the table and said indignantly, "Norton University gave him a few years of buffer time. Without the buffer time, He Xun wouldn't even have been able to get his degree."
"In that case, he can't even be considered a graduate of Norton University."
He was furious.
He was also in charge of the school's finances.
Back then, Qing Zhi High School hired He Xun at a high price. His monthly salary was 180,000 yuan.
The Dean of Academic Affairs felt like he had fed his money to the dogs.
"It's good that he's not." The principal nodded. "If he is, I'll have to doubt Norton University's quality education."
If the matter hadn't been exposed, he wouldn't have known that He Xun could force several students with poor grades to transfer schools.
The more the Dean of Academic Affairs thought about it, the angrier he got. "No, I'm going to sue him for fraud!"
After saying that, he left the principal's office angrily.

On the other side.
Ying Zijin took her medicine furnace.
The medicine furnace wasn't big, so it just fit in her backpack.
She also took some herbs from the herb garden in the Department of Medicinal Materials.
The Department of Medicinal Materials was an S-level school. Any student who graduated from the Department of Medicinal Materials would be an attending physician in the world's major hospitals.
Alchemy was also a compulsory course in the Department of Medicinal Materials.
After Ying Zijin took the herbs, she finally looked up. "It's been seven days. Where's Norton?"
The outside world didn't know that Norton University's name sounded quite high-end and classy. In fact, it was a name that a certain principal casually named after himself.
"Eh? I haven't seen the principal for a long time. "The vice-principal seemed to have just remembered this matter." It seems to have been a few months. "
The reason why they hadn't recruited new SS-level students was that Norton, the alchemist madman, kept disappearing, so they didn't pay attention to opening a school.
"It seems." Ying Zijin nodded slowly and said regretfully, "Alchemy can't cure Alzheimer's."
The vice-principal's heart was stabbed with a knife. "..."
"No, you can't blame me for this." The vice-principal really felt that he was innocent. "It's not like you don't know that once the principal started to play with alchemy, he would lock himself in his room and never come out."
"There were a lot of poisonous things around his room. I didn't dare to go near it. Over time, I forgot about it."
He studied super natural science and knew nothing about alchemy.
Ying Zijin carried her backpack and said expressionlessly, "Take me to see it."
The vice-principal knew that the big boss in front of him knew alchemy and ancient medicine.
But the most outstanding one was still poison.
The vice-principal didn't even think about it and immediately took the girl to the place.
It was a very tall tower. Even if the afternoon sun was shining brightly, it still gave people a very depressing feeling.
Ying Zijin looked around and said, "This way."
The vice-principal hurriedly followed and jumped into the tower as if he was jumping on a lattice.
After going up the spiral staircase, the two of them arrived at the top floor.
Ying Zijin took out a pair of white gloves from her pocket and put them on. Then she pressed her hand on the door and pushed it open.
The wind blew in from the window at the top and the waste paper on the floor rustled.
There was no one inside.
Ying Zijin closed her eyes for a few seconds and turned her head. "Where is he?"
She just checked the place and found that nothing had changed in the past ten days.
In other words, Norton had been gone for a long time.
The vice-principal strode in and was shocked when he saw the situation inside. "I swear, the principal was here the last time I saw him. He didn't go out."
Ying Zijin said indifferently, "If he wants to go out, you won't find out."
The vice-principal shut up.
That was true.
Norton was not only an expert in alchemy, but he also knew how to disguise himself.
The NOK forum also had a ranking of disguises. Although Norton wasn't on it, his disguise skills were definitely in the top five.
It was easy for a disguise master of this level to change his body shape.
Ying Zijin lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment. "Give me the tarot cards."
The vice-principal froze for a moment and hurriedly ran out to get the tarot cards.
The tarot cards circulating on the market were fake, but the ones in Norton University were real.
Not long after, the vice-principal returned.
He was carrying several boxes. "Which one do you want?"
"It doesn't matter." Ying Zijin picked up a box randomly. "It doesn't matter."
There were 78 tarot cards in total. 22 big Alcanar cards and 56 small Alcanar cards.
She still used big Alcanar cards.
After shuffling the cards, the 22 cards were arranged in a row on the table.
Ying Zijin lowered her head and raised her hand slowly over the cards.
Three cards were automatically drawn to the palm of her hand.
She placed the three cards to the side and flipped them over one by one.
When he saw the first two cards, the vice-principal was still calm.
When the third card was revealed, his expression changed.
