Chapter 150 Gate of Kassel

"Good game, GG." After Lu Mingfei typed this, he exited the game and watched the last scene on his screen. Twelve human cruisers fired their Yamato cannons, turning his mother nest into a pool of blood. He lost the sixth game of the day, with zero wins and six losses.

In the chat channel, the opponent seemed a little complacent, "Humans don't necessarily need tanks to fight Zerg. Korean masters don't use tanks. They just rush in with a large number of machine guns and nurses, fighting and defending at the same time..."

Lu Mingfei could imagine the guy's excited expression, but he didn't say anything. He subconsciously glanced at the gray fat penguin avatar on the computer. It was still gray, which made him a little disappointed.

“Didn’t you say you’d contact me when you have time?” As if talking to himself or complaining, Lu Mingfei scratched his hair and subconsciously opened the dialog box.

[I'll give you a surprise, just look forward to it.] This sentence, coupled with the laughing expression, really made Lu Mingfei look forward to it for several months, but the longer he waited, the more disappointed he became. After such a long time, it was as if the person on the other side had completely disappeared.

I clicked on the space of this guy with the default avatar. The last time he posted an update was when the three of them went out to play together. Su Xiaoqiang's smile was brighter than ever.

It's been a long time since I saw the little goddess smile so happily, right? Lu Mingfei sighed and looked at the tall figure in the photo.

"Is it so fun to play a loser, Brother Gu?" Lu Mingfei silently closed the webpage and the dialog box and fell into memories.

It has been almost two years since Gu Ye left Shilan Middle School. He has only seen Gu Ye twice during this period, from the beginning of his sophomore year to the graduation of his senior year.

One time was during the Chinese New Year. At that time, Lu Mingfei's academic performance was getting better and better. The teacher even told his aunt that he could work harder. With this grade, he could enter a good 985 university in China. However, Lu Mingfei firmly chose to study abroad.

My aunt has been arguing with my uncle about this. According to her, the reason why she didn't stop Lu Mingfei from going abroad was because she wanted Lu Mingfei to scout the way for her own Lu Mingze. If Lu Mingfei could get in with his grades, then her own Lu Mingze could definitely do it too.

But now it’s different. Lu Mingfei seems to have finally gotten the hang of it. His academic performance has improved by leaps and bounds. Now it seems that domestic universities are more cost-effective. After all, studying abroad costs a lot of money. Although it’s all paid by Lu Mingfei’s parents, he still saves as much as possible…

Lu Mingfei spent the New Year amidst the quarrels between his uncle and aunt. His only friend at school, Su Xiaoqiang, went to Singapore with his parents, leaving him with nowhere to go if he wanted to hide.

He originally thought that this year would pass in a daze, just like his previous birthdays, but at this moment, Gu Ye suddenly came back.

He was wearing a well-fitting black velvet Chester coat and a grey tweed suit that was filled out by his muscular body. He wore a grey vest underneath, a white empire collar shirt without a single wrinkle, and a black printed tie that matched the coat. With his retro newsboy cap, he looked just like an elegant and handsome gangster from a movie.

Under the surprised gazes of his uncle and aunt, he put down the expensive-looking gift, and then rescued Lu Mingfei from this situation that looked like a family ethics drama at eight o'clock, just as carefree as before.

Afterwards, the two spent Lu Mingfei's most peaceful night in a barbecue restaurant in the old city that was still open during the New Year. Gu Ye, dressed like a gentleman, was as free and easy as the old man next to him, and didn't mind the dirty environment of the restaurant at all. This made Lu Mingfei feel like a big boss was deceived by a loser to go to a roadside stall, and at the same time he was a little moved... It turned out that he had not forgotten himself.

After Lu Mingfei went back, his aunt no longer had any objection to his going abroad. Instead, she kept asking him indirectly about which family Gu Ye was from. Her words implied that she hoped Lu Mingfei would bring Lu Mingze to meet him as well.

The second meeting was much more ordinary. It was just a holiday afternoon, and Lu Mingfei was preparing to go to the Internet cafe as usual. Gu Ye was waiting for him at the entrance of the alley near the Internet cafe as if it was the first time they met.

According to what Gu Ye said, it seemed that he came to visit his younger brother after visiting Xia Mi. But Lu Mingfei didn't care, because Gu Ye was always like this, and would express his thoughts of caring for others with a hint of ridicule.

After the two played games for a while, Gu Ye left in a hurry, as if he was busy with something important, and then he left this message on QQ. So much time had passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Mingfei had been wanting to ask Gu Ye what the surprise was, but Gu Ye's avatar was always gray, so he didn't dare to send a message.

After all, wouldn't it be even more disappointing if there was no response? Now at least there was still a thought, maybe one day it would suddenly light up, and then Gu Ye would drive a luxury car with me, and go out in the envious eyes of everyone. But... now it seems that Gu Ye might still be busy with school projects and has no time at all.

"It doesn't matter... Anyway, I'll have a chance to find Brother Gu when I get to America." Lu Mingfei's tone sounded a little resentful. He had submitted an application letter to the University of Chicago and heard that this university was a fraternal university of Cassell College.

If it wasn't a surprise, why not just ask directly? Lu Mingfei thought so. Although he had thought about submitting an application directly to Kassel College, there was no email address on its official website, so Lu Mingfei could only settle for the next best thing.

The most important thing is, if he guessed correctly, Kassel College should be set up for special groups like Gu Ye and Chu Zihang. Ordinary people like him should have no hope of being admitted. It would be better to take a step back and choose the University of Chicago. After all, the two schools are not far away.

Ding ding ding! A message notification sounded, and Lu Mingfei subconsciously looked at Gu Ye's avatar, but there was no reaction... But another avatar jumped up, a panda with a shabby face, and its ID was "Lao Tang".

"Brother, you played the Zerg well. Let's cut it next time!" Lao Tang was the guy who defeated him.

"You are only lacking in micromanagement, but your tactical awareness is very good."

"Okay, thank you." Lu Mingfei replied briefly, and Old Tang went offline triumphantly. Only then did Lu Mingfei close his computer.

"Lu Mingfei, go to the mail room and see if there are any letters from the United States! Are you still playing games? You don’t care about your own affairs at all. You might as well listen to your teacher and study in China. Why do you have to go abroad... I really don’t understand what you are thinking." Aunt's voice sounded next door, and Lu Mingfei realized that it was time to go to the mail room to pick up the mail again.

Lu Mingfei's status in the family improved rapidly during this period. Although he still lived in the same room with Lu Mingze, his aunt had never asked him to run errands since he proposed to move out. She would even occasionally cater to Lu Mingfei's taste and cook some of his favorite dishes.

Of course, it was not without cost. Every time they had a meal, Aunt would nag: "We are so good to you, you must not be ungrateful... If you meet your classmate when you go abroad, remember to find a chance to bring him back and let Mingze meet him. We are all friends..." That's right, after all this time, Aunt still hasn't forgotten Gu Ye's bossy look, and even always imagined that he was the son of a wealthy man. Lu Mingfei was so lucky to be able to play with Gu Ye.

Aunt believed that a child like Lu Mingze who received elite education since childhood would definitely have a common language with Gu Ye, so she would bring up this matter every once in a while, as if she was brainwashing Lu Mingfei.

If aunt knew that the son of a rich family she imagined actually liked to stay with her at a roadside stall and eat skewers, I don’t know what she would think. Lu Mingfei was actually looking forward to his aunt’s stunned expression.

But even though he thought so, Lu Mingfei still obediently changed his clothes and went out. The corridor was quiet, and the afternoon sun shone in from the window at the end of the corridor, casting a warm glow on him.

Pure white sheets were drying in the corridor, and outside the window, the green leaves were swaying in the wind, making a rustling sound.

He raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, and looked up at the blue sky. It was spring again...

Lu Mingfei is still somewhat confident about his grades. Even if he is not number one in the class, he is at least in the top ten, which is a world of difference from the past.

But even so, Lu Mingfei was a little worried. After all, the University of Chicago he chose was a relatively famous university in the United States. The most important point was... he had no alternative.

Yes, for him, other than the University of Chicago, other schools were not within his consideration, so even though his uncle asked him to apply to more schools, he stubbornly chose the University of Chicago.

"Is there a letter for me?" Lu Mingfei peeked in at the door of the message room, coughed lightly, and then said a sentence in English that he had practiced for a long time.

“Mingfei Lu.”

"Yes, it's from America." The guard threw out a letter.

Lu Mingfei touched the envelope and found only a thin piece of paper. He immediately felt disappointed. He had checked the information and found that all acceptance letters would be enclosed with a lot of forms and introduction materials, a thick stack, while rejection letters only needed a single piece of printed paper.

Although he already knew the ending, Lu Mingfei still tore open the envelope unwillingly. Maybe there would be a turnaround? What if the information was filled in after the visit? Anyway, what was said on the Internet was not necessarily reliable, right?

The letter was actually written in Chinese and it said:

[Dear Mr. Lu Mingfei: Thank you for your interest in the University of Chicago, but unfortunately, you were not admitted...]

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei’s heart finally died. He had already chosen to burn his boats, and it was too late to apply to other schools. Did he really have to reconsider domestic schools?
But the next words gave him a glimmer of hope again.

[However, we often say that there is more than one road, it just depends on whether you are willing to choose.

First of all, let me introduce myself. Kassel College is...

Please contact Professor Guderian of our school as soon as you receive this letter. He is on an academic visit to China and will arrange an interview with you...】

Lu Mingfei did not read the rest of the words. He just stared blankly at the words "Kassel College" on the letter paper. There was a half-rotten world tree emblem at the bottom of the letter paper. This was the school emblem of Kassel College.

Lu Mingfei had seen this emblem on its official website before. The postmark from Illinois, USA, also gave the letter a sense of authenticity. There was no doubt... that he had indeed been admitted to Kassel.

"Oh! By the way, Lu Mingfei, there's something else you need to sign for." The guard threw another list over.

"What is it?" Lu Mingfei's thoughts were interrupted by the guard and he looked at him.

"There is also a package accompanying the letter, and I want you to sign for it."

Lu Mingfei signed without thinking and received a large FEDEX envelope with something hard inside. He hesitated for a moment, tore open the envelope, and out came… a cell phone.

Lu Mingfei felt that he needed to calm down when he turned on the pure black N96 mobile phone. The battery was still half charged. In the business card holder, there was only one contact, "Professor Guderian".

"Professor Guderian, Kassel College..." Lu Mingfei muttered to himself.

"Kassel...why would you accept an ordinary person like me?"
