Starting from a Fake University

"I want to study national arts."

"I want to play games, I have an e-sports dream!"

"Can you teach me how to become rich quickly?"

"I'm into medicine."

"I'm very interested in electronic products."

"My hobby is playing football, does our University have a professional course for it?"

Ding Yue enrolled quite a number of students that morning.

They all had their own hobbies and interests, some of which could be developed professionally and might have promising prospects.

However, there were also hobbies and interests that Ding Yue couldn't help with.

For example, some students wanted to get rich quickly, or wanted to marry a wealthy woman, well...

Ding Yue could only suggest students who wanted to become rich to choose the finance major in the School of Business. As for students who wanted a wealthy woman, first off, they need to make sure their game is good, right?

"What's the tuition fee?"

"The annual tuition is 25,000 yuan. Accommodation varies, there is 2,000 yuan per year for a six-person room, 3,000 per year for a four-person room, 5,000 yuan per year for a two-person room, and 10,000 per year for a single room."

Private University, after all.

The charges are justifiably expensive.

Thinking I'm tough?

Of course.

Ding Yue isn't some big philanthropist.

While normal public universities have allocations from the national education finance, private universities are different. Their nature belongs to private institutions, and their funds are raised by individuals or private group companies. Therefore, in the absence of special education allocations, they can only rely on charging high tuition fees to maintain teaching.

"I want a single room, that's 35,000 in total right? I'll pay by card."

The young man with foil perm took out a silver credit card, swiped it, and it was accepted.

One student's tuition plus accommodation fee of 35,000 yuan was successfully charged.

Generally, students who choose to go to private universities are able to accept high tuition fees and other charges, at least their family's economic conditions will not be too bad.

From what Ding Yue saw when he came to the entrance of Mist City Arts and Science University this morning, there were all kinds of luxury cars like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and even Ferrari, Maserati and so on. It was quite visible.

There were even super-rich second-generation kids who came driving a supercar.

Ding Yue was curious as to why the super-rich second-generation kids, who have so much money, didn't go abroad to study? Instead, they chose to attend a not-so-famous private university?

"Alright, next."

After the money was collected and the receipt was made, Ding Yue continued to charge the next student for registration.

"What's your ID? What major do you want to study?"

The female student handed her ID to Ding Yue and then answered, "I want to learn how to repair car lights."

"Automobile maintenance?"

Ding Yue's first reaction was automobile maintenance technology.

But would it be inappropriate for a girl to study automobile maintenance?

Ding Yue couldn't help but raise his head curiously to take a look. She was actually a pretty girl.

"No, teacher, I mean the kind of car light that can be repaired to become bigger..." the female student said with slight shyness.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Ding Yue finally reacted. He quickly took a deep breath and said, "If you want to "repair" that kind of "car light"...You can choose to major in cosmetology."

"Okay, got it."

The girl nodded with a smile.

The morning enrolment made Ding Yue feel that young people are interesting nowadays. They all have various hobbies and interests.

It's just they are slightly worse when it comes to language, mathematics, foreign languages, physics, and chemistry, which resulted in their failures in the College Entrance Examination.

However, Ding Yue believes that as long as they come to Mist City Arts and Science University, their hobbies and interests can become their course of study.

In fact.

The reason why Ding Yue wants to implement the idea of customizing majors based on student's interests and hobbies is because of a specific reason.

To upgrade his [World Famous School System], he must have Popularity Value to exchange for upgrade experience.

Popularity Value, as the name implies, needs to be gained after Mist City Arts and Science University becomes famous and popular (and people must have a good impression of the school to generate it).

The exchange ratio of Popularity Value to experience is 10000:1.

Mist City Arts and Science University is still at the [Unknown] level. The next level is [Minor Achievements], requiring 100 points of experience and the attainment of one level 1 achievement.

The main purpose of upgrading the university in the system is to unlock more goods in the mall.

Ding Yue had a cursory glance at the system mall earlier, the higher the university level, the more splendid the goods can be unlocked.

Ding Yue even saw [Controllable Nuclear Fusion Technology] in the mall, which requires a high Prestigious School Level to unlock!

It's simply terrifying!

...

In a blink of an eye, Ding Yue busied away the whole morning.

When it was lunchtime, Ding Yue, Huang Youjie, and Xu Bin sat together eating lunchboxes. The students who came to register also temporarily dispersed, and continued to register in the afternoon.

"With so many students coming to register, we definitely can't finish the registration process in one day."

Huang Youjie lamented.

"Then we will continue tomorrow. Each student is worth at least 25,000 yuan, I could enroll them for three days and nights."

Ding Yue said joyfully, then took a big bite of his lunchbox.

The ten-plus yuan lunchbox suddenly tasted incredibly delicious.

How does it feel to get hand cramps from collecting money?

Sorry.

Ding Yue is having that experience~

"How many students have you guys enrolled this morning?" Ding Yue turned to Huang Youjie and Xu Bin and asked.

"I don't know, I didn't calculate carefully, but there should be quite many. It's just that many of the interests and hobbies mentioned by people sounded unreasonable."

Huang Youjie shook his head and said.

"Yeah, Yue, are you sure you want to set all the majors according to the interests of these students?"

Xu Bin also met some students with ridiculous hobbies, saying they wanted to learn how to pick up girls and be a jerk guy.

Xu Bin was utterly dumbfounded at the time.

Of course, apart from some students with ridiculous hobbies, there were also many students who chose the existing traditional majors.

For example, those who want to study medicine, enrolled in the medical school.

Even some who want to become astronauts, enrolled in the Aerospace College of Mist City Arts and Science University.

Majors such as engineering physics, biology, computer information technology, media, Chinese linguistics, etc. also have some enrollees, just not many.

Plus, Ding Yue thought about it.

The students who came to Mist City Arts and Science University for registration are all students who failed the college entrance examination. If they study engineering physics, they won't be able to get a National Science and Technology Award or a Nobel Prize in Physics, right?

These majors are hard for Mist City Arts and Science University to make achievements in.

But the system told Ding Yue that if he wanted to build Mist City Arts and Science University into a top world-famous university, these traditional areas must have top-grade achievements.

This made Ding Yue very troubled.

He's supposed to lead a bunch of students, who didn't do well academically, to fight for the Nobel Prize or something?

That sounds a bit preposterous!

"Ehm, for those unrealistic hobbies, suggest them to choose our existing majors in the school. Those which we can fulfil, after enlisting, Xu Bin you will help me to collect the data. Then, we will set up related majors according to the statistics."

Ding Yue arranged them professionally.

This parallel world is very lenient in the management of private education.

It's not like the previous earth, where private universities need to report and get approval for setting up new majors from education officials.

It's different here, private universities can set up majors of their own according to actual conditions, demands of the labor market, and other factors.

However many private universities are like normal colleges and set up traditional majors. At most they may add a few specialty signatures of their own.

But Ding Yue is different.

He not only wants to inherit traditions but also break them...
