College Construction: My Principal System Chapter 8
Advertisement
"On reading" was spreading faster than thought. Indeed, good writing would last forever.
It did in this world, and it did in the parallel world.
A student at the opening ceremony was deeply influenced by the spirit of the essay.
He posted a message on social media.
"Abeunt studia in mores, which means 'Practice pursued passionately becomes a habit'. History makes a man wise; poetry makes a man charming; mathematics makes a man thorough; science makes a man profound; ethics makes a man solemn, and logic and rhetoric make a man eloquent by Francis Bacon."
When the news was published, it immediately aroused the interest of literature lovers.
They left messages asking which book it came from.
The students proudly replied below, that this was the Yun Ding High School opening speech by the dean of the first years, Mr. Bacon.
"That's not all. There's more."
When this was said, everyone was curious and excited. They forwarded it one by one and asked about the full content of Yun Ding High School's opening speech.
The opening ceremony was not a secret. Fang Yuan did not stop anyone from recording or taking pictures.
There were audio and video materials that had been leaked online.
Mr. Bacon's passionate speech was immediately heard by everyone and spread to Douyin, Kuaishou, and other short video websites and apps.
"Yun Ding High School speech" immediately replaced "Sharing my alma mater".
It became the hottest topic of the September semester and it attracted countless favorable comments.
The comment with the highest number of likes represented the voice of the majority of the people. "This should be what the opening ceremony should look like!"
At the same time, another comment was also the focus of everyone's attention.

"Just the Dean of the first year of high school already has this kind of strength. Then, what kind of mysterious and powerful man is Principal Fang Yuan behind the scenes?!"
...
At this time, Principal Fang Yuan did not pay attention to the popularity on the internet.
After Francis Bacon gave his opening speech, from the system interface, it could be seen that the students' enthusiasm for learning was completely different.
According to Xu Zhiyu's report, during the classroom discipline inspection two weeks before the start of the school year, it was found that the students' spirit and appearance had changed completely.
It was as if they had been blessed with a halo of enthusiasm for learning.
It had a powerful beneficial effect.
Those students who had loved learning became even more enthusiastic, and the areas of study they had dabbled in became even more broader.
And those students who had learning troubles also began to be willing to try to explore learning.
Combined with the teachers' meticulous teaching skills, it could be predicted that during the mid-term exam, everyone's grades would have greatly improved.
But Fang Yuan also noticed a problem.
Interest and enthusiasm were indeed the best teachers for students.
But it was often difficult to study with just a moment of passion.
Many students could not concentrate during the learning process, and even if they focused for a while, they could not last.
At the same time, if the intensity of learning suddenly increased...
It would also cause greater stress to the students' bodies and minds.
It was time to think of a way to alleviate this aspect.
It was as if they had a tacit understanding.
The system prompt appeared at the right time: [Prerequisite 2: The opening speech mission has been completed.]

[Ding. System reward obtained. Number of times the world's heroes can be summoned + 1.]
[Ding. System reward obtained. One copy of the blueprint for the construction of the classical stadium (A +).]
[Classical stadium: Ancient Olympia Stadium style. Suitable for all kinds of wrestling, boxing, racing, javelin throwing, discus, jumping, fighting, archery, and other common sports.]
[Special effect: Full protection. No event held in this stadium will cause any injuries.]
[Prerequisite 3: Successfully organize all military training activities.]
[Do you accept?]
The military training for freshmen was exactly what Fang Yuan wanted.
In a country where military service was not compulsory, it was naturally a good way to improve the perseverance and patience of students by conducting military training.
He did as he was told.
Soon, an email was sent to all the teachers, students, and parents.
The subject of the email was: "Instructions for the military training of Yun Ding High School students.".
The text was also very simple:
After consultation with the school Board and approval by the Education Authority, the military training of Yun Ding High School students was scheduled to be held in ten days. All students are requested to participate!
Attached below was an attachment of the detailed military training program, and at the end was the official seal of the school and the principal's signature.
Once this message was sent out.
The dormitory was about to explode. The students all put on masks of pain.
"Have you heard? Have you heard? The school is going to make us undergo military training."
"Yeah, when I saw that email, my vision went black."
"No way. Not only are they freshmen, even sophomores and juniors are going to undergo military training?"
"Torture, torture!"
"Recently, my passion for learning has been completely ignited. I just feel very tired. Will the military training be even more tiring?"
"Sigh, I'm a little worried too. I don't know if I can apply for leave."
"Actually, I don't mean anything else. I've been in school for less than half a month, and I'm very satisfied with all aspects. But this military training, I'm really a little scared."
"In the past, Principal Fang Yuan was the person I respected the most. Now, Principal Fang Yuan... You're the Devil!"
The students had all participated in similar activities in primary and junior high schools.
The military training program was basically simple, boring, and extremely painful.
For example, under the scorching noon sun, standing in the military posture and standing in the sun for five to six hours straight.
Or for example, walking in unison in a straight line.
Raising their hands and raising their legs, making their bodies ache all over.
These were all memories that remained in their minds, lingering like nightmares.
"In the past, we thought that Yun Ding High School was very run-down, but the new campus made our eyes light up; in the past, we thought that the opening ceremony was very boring, but Professor Bacon's 'on learning' gave us a new look. I have a faint feeling that the military training organized by the school this time, will it be different?"
Someone suddenly said this.
It couldn't help but bring out everyone's curiosity.
How would Yun Ding High School arrange their own military training activity?

A World Worth Protecting
By the year 3029 CE, Earth’s technology has developed rapidly, borders no longer exist, and Earth has been unified, marking the beginning of the era of the Federation. At that time, a huge sword flew from the heavens, piercing the sun and causing a huge sensation on Earth. Perhaps because the scabbard of the sword was already in tatters, countless shards have broken off from it following the collision with the sun and spread across the universe. Many of these shards have landed on various places across Earth. With the arrival of the bronze sword and its shards, a new unlimited energy source has suddenly appeared on Earth. This energy source has since been named Spirit Qi. Spirit Qi is like air, thick in some places and thin in others. As the Federation and other factions gather more shards, they discover more information on cultivation, pill refinement, Spirit Stone refinement, and other techniques. The words on the shards have an ancient feel to them, making it a trend for people to use ancient language. The appearance of Spirit Qi rapidly makes the original energy sources obsolete and has completely changed people’s lives. Not only has the Spirit Internet been formed, Spirit Qi has also changed the course of Human Civilization, causing the world to enter a civilization of cultivation. This would later come to be known as the Spirit Inception Era.
