From Gotham to Night City, my notoriety is known to everyone

"Thank you so much!"

He said this through gritted teeth and took her straight to the reception desk.

Unlike the external security personnel, these internal receptionists are all young ladies, and they all look good and polite.

Nobody: Chapter 45: Full Score Admission

"Yuyuki, welcome to Arasaka Academy."

The young lady used a sentence in Japanese as her opening words and bowed slightly.

Leo suspected that if he answered in Japanese at this time, the other party's attitude would be more respectful, after all, Arasaka is a Japanese company.

But he has no hobby of pretending to live a simple life.

"Hello, I have an appointment for the entrance test, please check it for me."

"No problem, please wait a moment..."

Naturally, there would be no problem with the procedures submitted by Chunbai. After verifying his personal information, he received a reply quickly.

"Your appointment is at nine in the morning, but the admissions officer has finished his previous work, so you can go in now. The reception room is on the east side of the first floor. If you need it, I can send you the navigation route."

"Thank you."

"I wish you all the best."

After saying the polite words, Leo followed the navigation with his eyes wandering around.

Soon, the two walked into a quiet corridor and came to the faculty and staff office area.

Looking around, the offices here all use panoramic glass curtain walls, so you can have a clear view of what's going on inside from the outside - in other words, no one can be lazy!

The boss can clearly see the work status of his employees by just walking around outside.

"No privacy at all, it's like being in fucking prison..."

V looked at the office dogs and for the first time had an idea that it wouldn't be a bad idea to hang out on the streets. Although she had no money, at least she had the freedom to do whatever she wanted.

Leo heard what she said and communicated with her quietly by sending text messages.

[Leo: Why, you've been to jail?]

[V: How fresh is that? How many street mercenaries have not been caught by the police? However, the offenses I committed were all minor. After paying the ransom, I was released after spending a few days in the police station. I have never been to prison.]

After a few words, the two walked to a waiting hall.

In the space comparable to a hospital waiting room, there are more than a dozen benches scattered around, spaced a long distance apart from each other.

However, there was no one there at the moment, and it seemed empty.

Leo was used to this - the cyberpunk world seemed to be particularly fond of skyscrapers and high-rise buildings, with plenty of space inside to squander, so housing prices were unusually cheap.

Following the navigation, they continued forward and found the admissions office.

There was a Japanese man sitting in the elegantly decorated room. When he saw them, he greeted them warmly and invited them in.

After the two came in, he stood up and looked them up and down with his eyes.

As for V, he lost interest after just one glance, his eyes completely focused on Leo's face. He would look at the screen from time to time, as if he was comparing information.

After a while, he nodded.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio and Miss Vivian."

Opposite his desk is a brown three-seater sofa, which provides a good reception environment.

Leo sat down generously.

V hesitated for a moment and chose to stand behind him and perform his duties as a bodyguard.

The Japanese man said nothing, as if he was already accustomed to this combination.

He glanced at the computer screen again and introduced himself, "My name is Okada Yuta, and I'm the admissions officer for Arasaka Academy. It's nice to meet you, Mr. Leonardo."

After the usual pleasantries, he sat back in his seat and got straight to the point:

"I'm glad you chose Arasaka Academy. I'm not bragging, but as of this year, Arasaka Academy has been ranked first among Night City's educational institutions for four consecutive times.

Our basic education capabilities are second to none in Night City and are your best choice when studying abroad.

Before we can start the process, I need to verify your personal information, and I will ask you to enable the implant display function as part of the review process. "

Leo nodded slightly, trying two things at once, listening to both his and Chunbai's explanations.

This so-called implant display function can be turned on at any time in a personal terminal. It is turned off by default. Once turned on, others can use a scanner to accurately obtain a person's prosthetic installation information.

Of course, this does not include prosthetic doctors, whose medical equipment has built-in implant scanning capabilities.

[Father, the display function is safe here, but never use it outside, or you will be targeted by people with bad intentions.]

【I’m not stupid.】

After listening to the explanation, Leo nodded in agreement.

A light shone in Okada Yuta's eyes as he scanned and recorded his prosthetic data into the archive.

"Arasaka's network access warehouse is a wise choice, very good. The public version of the brain-computer interface of the Internet monitoring, the optical eyes of Qilu Si, the biological monitoring of the biotechnology... and it also comes with the platinum membership of the trauma team... Yeah, not bad."

After a while, he concluded: "Your prosthetics are all big brands, very good, and will surely help you stay one step ahead of your peers in the future learning environment. The quantity is a little small, and depending on the subject you sign up for, you may need to install some new prosthetics.

The citizen information is verified to be correct, Chinese, um..."

A suggestive smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.

"Okay, you passed the interview. The next step is the entrance test. Don't worry, it's just a basic written test. Judging from your grades as a graduate from a key high school, it will definitely not be a problem."

Leo smiled reluctantly, trying to buy time to adjust his mood: "Is the interview over? I thought I had to answer a lot of questions."

Okada Yuta handed over a tablet and replied with a smile: "No, you misunderstood. The focus of the interview is to review the financial capabilities of the applicants and their families to ensure that they can afford the tuition of Arasaka Academy."

"No doubt, you are in good financial condition and can proceed to the next step. Now please connect the data cable on the tablet to the bio-signal. This is a safe anti-cheating applet, so don't worry."

Well, it seems that the educational philosophy of this era is that everything is about money.

It’s not bad, at least it’s easier to get into school.

Next came the written test. He answered the questions on a tablet computer while the admissions officer checked his answers in real time on his office computer.

When Leo saw the first question clearly, he was sure in his mind - it was actually a high school math problem!

He thought he would be tested on some new subject knowledge of this era, but he didn't expect that this so-called basic written test was so basic.

Mathematics, physics, chemistry... He still had some impression of these, and with the help of Chunbai who helped him cheat and bypassed the supervision, he answered the questions easily.

The difficulty lies in those emerging subjects and the history of this world. Fortunately, he has off-field assistance and can get full marks as long as he wants.

The question is... whether to be so ostentatious.

He thought about it: There were no questions beyond the syllabus on this test paper. Even if he answered all of them correctly, it would only be said that he had a solid foundation and it wouldn't be too exaggerated.

Then indulge yourself and create an image of yourself as a good student.

There were sixty questions in total, and the first fifty were multiple-choice questions. He finished all of them in less than half an hour and chose to hand in the paper early.

"The exam time is one hour. Are you sure you want to finish the test in advance?"

"determine."

"Yeah..." Okada Yuta looked at the computer screen and nodded continuously, "Full of confidence, and a solid foundation, without any bias in one subject."

“100 points, very good!”

Nobody: Chapter 46 Another Legend, David Martinez

"Full marks for the interview and the written test, very good, really very good!"

Okada Tomota smiled and took the initiative to lean over and shook his hand.

"Although it's a little too early now, I still want to say in advance - welcome to join Arasaka Academy. Our graduation certificate is the VIP ticket to the upper class society. Choosing Arasaka means choosing success!"

Leo maintained a polite smile and listened quietly throughout.

This "good student" attitude is obviously a plus.

Tomota Okada quickly filled out some information on the computer and told him that the next step was the last step - paying tuition.

It can be seen that perhaps this link is the part he really cares about.

Leo watched him take out a nebulizer from the drawer, press the cap hard, and take two deep breaths of the blue mist medicine.

There was a slightly pungent smell in the air, and only a faint mint flavor could be distinguished.

“Hiss—ha…”

The admissions officer who took drugs in front of the students showed no shame on his face. Instead, he kindly invited him to try it as well: "Want to try it? This is the stimulant drug distributed by Arasaka. With this, you can study or work 16 hours a day with full energy. The drug ingredients are safe and reliable, and they are not comparable to those cheap stimulants out there."

"No, I'm in good spirits now."

Leo struggled to maintain a decent smile, but in his heart he was complaining: He was quite proud of working sixteen hours a day. This world is crazy, and the internal circulation is desperate...

After taking the drugs, Okada Tota was visibly excited. He even pursed his lips, and the more he looked, the more he looked like he was ready for a fight, ready to defeat the challenger in front of him with his tongue.

"Okay, let's talk about tuition. Please look at the tablet in front of you, Mr. Leonardo."

Leo lowered his head. The tablet was no longer filled with a test paper, but a very detailed fee form. How detailed was it? The font had to be small enough to fit dozens of fee items on three pages.

As expected, charging fees is the most concerning issue for Arasaka Academy. The number of words in this fee list is probably more than that of the test paper just now.

Okada Tomota excitedly began to explain:

"First, please look at the first item. That is the basic tuition fee for Arasaka Academy. It is a fee that must be paid..."

Leo automatically filtered out his "noise interference" and went to see these paid items himself.

It’s actually very simple. The items marked with a ※ are required, and the total amount is 24000 euros.

However, the basic fees only account for the first eight items, and the rest are all additional fees, including software update fees, after-school tutoring fees, and so on.

"Although these extra charges are very expensive, I still recommend that you try to pay them. Isn't there an idiom in your place that goes, 'Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood'? These extra charges are the best whetstone, which can help you rank first in your studies..."

Tomota Okada turned into a salesman, intending to let him choose all the projects.

Leo is not stupid. He himself does not quite understand these charges, but Chunbai, who is always connected to the Internet, certainly understands them.

[Pure White, I leave it to you. Select the cost-effective items and project them onto my artificial eye.]

【learn. 】

Soon, simple evaluations appeared behind the paid items.

Leo checked each charge item according to the prompts, and the cost for one semester finally came to 35000 euros.

This number obviously satisfied Okada Tomota. He looked at the computer and nodded continuously:

"Well, well, it seems that you have done your homework and have chosen the most cost-effective programs. Majoring in electronic engineering and computer science is a good choice. These are both strong subjects of Arasaka Academy and will be very helpful for you to go to college in the future.

In this case, the annual tuition fee is 7 euros, and the tuition fee for each semester is paid before the beginning of each semester. Is there a problem?"

of course not.

So the wallet cried bitterly and shrank again.

After paying the fee, Okada Tomota was in a good mood and handed over a data chip with a smile: "Here is the course schedule and basic textbook list for this semester. If you want to prepare in advance, you can buy some materials yourself. There is also a prosthetic recommendation form. According to the major you choose, it is best to add some prosthetics appropriately."

"I see that you have chosen the remote teaching service. Remember to buy an internet access chair in advance and ensure at least 30% actual attendance."

Leo nodded. He had to travel to other worlds from time to time, so it was impossible for him to go to school every day like an ordinary student.

Fortunately, with the development of Internet technology, Arasaka Academy provides remote teaching services, which allows him to enter the virtual reality through a secure network channel and take classes with other students.

Of course, this is a paid item...

Junshiro also assured him that even in other worlds, he could use the network here and truly achieve the feat of being in a foreign land while his consciousness was attending classes at Arasaka Academy.

"This is completed, much faster than expected. Mr. Leonardo, the system has added you to the temporary whitelist. When school starts on March 3rd and you are issued a formal student ID, you will be able to move freely within Arasaka Academy.

There is still time, you might as well take a walk around the college's external display area and familiarize yourself with the environment in advance."

"Okay, thank you for your reminder."

Leo stood up, shook hands with him again, and walked towards the door with V.

After taking a few steps, he saw through the glass the next group of applicants waiting outside.
