Chapter 275: Course Selection
Chapter 275: Course Selection
"Have something to eat." In the morning, Li Qian got up slightly earlier than Lu Tianjiao. He took a stroll around the school, had a bite to eat, and brought some food for Lu Tianjiao.
Lu Tianjiao was brushing his teeth, his voice a bit muffled, "Thanks, what did you buy?"
"I don't know what you like, so I just bought some random steamed buns and fried dough sticks." Li Qian glanced at Lu Tianjiao in the bathroom.
"Tastes good." A few minutes later, Lu Tianjiao came out of the bathroom, still with foam on the corners of his mouth, and picked up a bun to eat.
"
"In the morning, I usually can't get up, and I rarely eat breakfast. Most of the time, I just gulp down some milk and bread." Lu Tianjiao sat casually on the sofa, eating his breakfast without a care in the world, treating the place like his own dorm.
Li Qian shook his head and chuckled, not paying attention to him. He put on his VR glasses and accessed the school's network.
"The course system for the new semester is now open. Remember to select your courses." Li Qian said as he browsed the courses using his VR glasses.
"Including military training, there's still over a week left. No need to rush." Lu Tianjiao wasn't too concerned.
"Don't be so nonchalant. By then, the popular courses will be full, and you won't get a spot." Li Qian pouted.
Lu Tianjiao was enjoying his food, and as he ate, he said, "It's fine. The students living in Xianya Courtyard, like us, are different from others."
His words piqued Li Qian's curiosity, "How are we different?"
"For any course, whether related to our major or not, we can freely choose regardless of whether it's full or not." Lu Tianjiao explained.
"Really?" Li Qian was a bit skeptical.
He immediately started flipping through the selection pages on his VR glasses and quickly found a course that was already full, with the selection button turned gray.
Li Qian clicked on the gray selection button through his VR glasses, and the pop-up message surprised him.
"Freshman Li Qian, you have selected the course 'Evolutionary Research of Unstable Gene Companion Beasts.' Is this confirmed?"
"I can really choose!" Li Qian was taken aback by the pop-up message, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"
Lu Tianjiao said it was insignificant, but in Li Qian's opinion, the ability to freely choose the courses he liked was already a very enticing benefit.
After selecting the course 'Evolutionary Research of Unstable Gene Companion Beasts,' Li Qian suddenly remembered something and immediately returned to the selection page's homepage to check the credit rules.

After finishing his browsing, he couldn't help but nod in agreement.
O
First, there were no restrictions on course selection. As long as the course was related to the major, or even if it wasn't, it could be chosen.
Second, the accumulation of credits. Each semester, as long as you earn enough credits, you can graduate.
The methods of earning credits varied depending on the major.
In the end, graduation is simply a matter of accumulating enough credits. For the four-year program, as long as you meet the required credits, you can apply for early graduation. Conversely, if you don't earn enough credits, it's also possible to graduate in five or even six years.
Regular attendance only accounts for about thirty percent of the overall grade.
In other words, even if you skip all classes, as long as you pass the final exams, you can still earn credits for those courses.
This rule was the most satisfying to Li Qian. He could now freely arrange his class schedule and choose to self-study for some courses.
Without hesitation, he opened up the entire four-year course catalog: Fundamentals of Cultivation, Theory of Evolution, Pharmacy, Companion Beast Psychology... Various courses caught his eye, dazzling him with their variety.
As he looked at these courses, a somewhat crazy idea formed in Li Qian's mind.
According to the school's regulations, first-year students must earn one hundred credits, second-year students one hundred and fifty, third-year two hundred, and fourth-year one hundred and fifty.
In other words, over the four years, students must accumulate six hundred credits to graduate smoothly.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Qian acted decisively, beginning the process of selection.
As each course was chosen, the accumulated credits rose, and finally, when he finished, Li Qian was surprised to find that in his first year alone, he needed to earn as many as three hundred and fifty credits.
If this trend continued, in just two years, he could complete all the credits required for the entire four-year program.
If he could truly achieve this, it would undoubtedly be a remarkable feat.
"Have you finished choosing your courses?" Lu Tianjiao asked, seeing Li Qian sitting silently on a balcony chair, lost in thought.
"I've almost finished, just need to review it a bit more and then I can finalize it!" Li Qian's thoughts were interrupted, and he replied casually.
"How many credits' worth of courses did you choose?" Lu Tianjiao's face showed a hint of interest upon hearing Li Qian's response.
Li Qian didn't hide it, answering subconsciously, "Three hundred and fifty!"
As soon as he said this, the scene fell into silence.
Three hundred and fifty credits?!
Lu Tianjiao almost thought he was experiencing auditory hallucinations!
Even though he considered himself exceptionally talented, already standing out from the crowd, it was still too much to expect to be one in a thousand, let alone one in ten thousand.
But even so, he only planned to earn around two hundred credits in his first year.
Three hundred and fifty credits, what did that mean? Was Li Qian planning to graduate in his second year?
At this moment, Lu Tianjiao, who had always considered himself extraordinary, looked at Li Qian with a slightly complicated expression.
After finishing course selection, Li Qian steered the conversation back a bit, "How long will it take to fully repair the neighboring dorm?"
Hearing this, Lu Tianjiao replied with some displeasure, "What, are you starting to dislike me now?"
"I wouldn't go that far, but with you around, I won't dare bring girls back to the dorm anymore," Li Qian joked.
However, he didn't expect Lu Tianjiao to associate this casual joke with something more, "Damn, are you still pining for that Snow Clan girl, Snow Ibis?"
