[Misty City University of Arts and Sciences Mechanical Engineering Student Exchange Group ①]

Zhao Lung: The Mechanical Engineering Department is geared up. We’re aiming to conquer the National Robotics Competition. Let’s cheer for our classmates!

Qian Hong: It’s a bit surprising. Our mechanical engineering department has actually signed up for the National Robotics Competition. Awesome!

Sun Minghao: I was totally stunned when I saw the official announcement from the university!

Li Yan: Tong Yihang and co. are amazing~

Zhou Longzhou: Does anyone know what kind of robot they’re making?

Wu Jun: I heard it was a project supported by Principal Ding and it had been secretly underway. Haha, it feels so mysterious.

Zheng Yuan: Holy shit! I’m suddenly so excited!

Wang Xiaoxia: If we from the mechanical department could also bring back a prize, that would be spectacular.

On this day,

Many students of Mist City Arts and Science University came to know about the news that Principal Ding and his team will be heading to the National Robotics Competition and the National Science and Technology Innovation Exhibition.

The news was shared on the school’s official website yesterday afternoon, and then a notice was sent via the school’s public WeChat account.

Consequently, many students organized themselves enthusiastically to cheer for Principal Ding and his team’s departure, hoping for a triumphant return!

[Mist City Arts and Science University Official Forum]——

[Go Go Go! Mist City Arts and Science University is the best! Let’s conquer the National Robotics Competition!]

[Participation in the National Robotics Competition and National Science and Technology Innovation Exhibition is a great opportunity to showcase our university!]

[Principal Ding is amazing!]

Since yesterday afternoon, the most discussed topic among students has been the school’s participation in the National Robotics Competition and National Science and Technology Innovation Exhibition.

Perhaps because the news was very well kept secret before, many students were completely unaware.

They even didn’t know that the students of mechanical engineering department were working on robot manufacturing.

At seven o’clock in the morning,

Ding Yue, Huang Youjie, Xu Bin, and secretary Wen Ruohan were having breakfast at the second cafeteria.

Computer Science Department Head Liu Wei and Mechanical Engineering Department Head Cao Guowei also brought their respective department’s students participating in the competition to the second cafeteria.

After finishing their meals, they planned on gathering and waiting by the roadside next to the cafeteria for the school bus to the airport.

At this moment,

At the entrance of the Mist City Arts and Science University,

One after another, groups of volunteered students gathered around the school gate. Some were holding small flags.

Some students even prepared a banner.

Especially the students from Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science Departments, almost all of them were present.

Medical and Law students were also there.

As well as students from other departments and various majors. As long as they could wake up in the morning, they all gathered at the school gate, preparing for a spontaneous send-off ceremony for Principal Ding and his team.

"Everybody, please move to the sides to maintain order, okay?"

Upon seeing this, the head of security calmly organized the students to line up in an orderly fashion.

"I woke up really early today."

"Hahaha. The article posted on the forum yesterday was just so inspiring, so I decided to come to the send-off ceremony."

"Our school is really badass, they’re participating in the National Robotics Competition."

"Principal Ding is awesome. I wonder how much money has been spent in researching robots this time."

"Did you hear? This robot is the joint effort of several departments and many students."

"I heard, the people from the Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science departments are pretty awesome."

"You don’t know, do you? Our Medical Department also contributed."

"What did your medical department contribute? What does medical have to do with making robots?"

"I don’t know either. Anyway, that’s what our department head said, the things we were busy with recently were related to a school research project."

As the students waited for the departure bus to arrive, groups of students started chatting, maintaining order at the scene.

"How many people are here?"

"The crowd is growing, it’s such a grand scene. I have to take a photo!"

As the number of students gathering at the school gate increased, many people took out their phones to take pictures and videos to memorialize the moment.

After all, this send-off was spontaneously organized by a student on the university forum yesterday afternoon. Initially, it was thought that there wouldn’t be many participants.

But who would’ve thought, we might already have over a thousand people present?

The small plaza in front of the school gate is almost filled with students.

At seven fifty in the morning,

After finishing breakfast, Ding Yue, Huang Youjie, Xu Bin, and secretary Wen Ruohan went to pick up their luggage, then gathered at the roadside next to the second cafeteria.

Soon after, the students from the Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science Departments also arrived,

"One, two, three, four, ...eleven, twelve, thirteen, seems like we’re missing someone." Wen Ruohan thought there was supposed to be a total of fourteen people headed to Shu City, if she didn’t forget.

Snap!

Ding Yue knocked on Wen Ruohan’s head, saying: "Are you stupid? Didn’t you count yourself in?"

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing that, everyone burst into laughter.

"Oh right, I forgot to count myself," Wen Ruohan reacted, suddenly feeling foolish and a little embarrassed.

When everyone was present, Wen Ruohan sent a message to the school bus driver via Wechat, notifying him to come pick them up.

About three minutes later, a bus slowly drove towards the second cafeteria and stopped on the roadside.

"Get on the bus! Prepare to depart!"

At Ding Yue’s command, the students took their suitcases and stowed them in the luggage compartment beneath the bus.

This National Robotics Competition and National Science and Technology Innovation Exhibition will last for a week, so even if you’re knocked out in the first round of the robot competition, you can still participate in the Science and Technology Innovation Exhibition for a week.

Therefore.

Everyone has packed their luggage for this trip, which is expected to last for a week.

Soon, all the students had packed their luggage, and after Ding Yue and other people had packed their luggage, they got onto the bus.

Once again, the number of people on the bus was recounted, and it was confirmed that there were fourteen people.

"Alright, we can get going." After Ding Yue finished speaking, Wen Ruohan went and told the bus driver.

The bus started and slowly headed towards the school gate.

There didn’t seem to be many people in the campus early in the morning.

Ding Yue looked out the bus window at the two sides of the road, was it because it was too early today that the students hadn’t gotten up yet?

That’s not right.

If Ding Yue remembered correctly, even when he got up earlier than today, he could still see students walking by on the sidewalks next to the road.

But today was strange.

Could it be the weekend?

If it were the weekend, then it would be normal. After all, the students usually slept in on weekends, so it wouldn’t be strange if there were hardly anyone on campus this early in the morning.

A few minutes later, the bus approached the school gate.

"Huh? Principal Ding, look quickly, why are there so many people at the school gate?"

Wen Ruohan was the first to notice the "abnormality" at the school gate.

There were so many people there, densely packed, almost filling the small school gate. It looked like people were shoulder to shoulder. Those with a fear of crowds would probably be scared.

"Huh? What?"

Upon hearing Wen Ruohan calling him and mentioning that there were a lot of people at the school gate, Ding Yue looked curiously toward the school gate.

Sure enough.

There were quite a few students gathered there.

He confirmed that they were students because the bus was very close to the school gate now, and he could tell at a glance who was a student.

Since they gathered at the gate of Mist City Arts and Science University, they must be students of his university.

"They should be our students, right? What are so many students doing gathered there?"

Ding Yue was also very curious.

Huang Youjie’s Xu Bin, on hearing these words, also looked over, then the department heads, teachers and students in the car all looked towards the school gate.

"Here it comes, here it comes, the bus is coming."

"It should be this bus, right?"

"Of course it is, it’s the time when Principal Ding and others are supposed to leave for the airport."

"It’s this bus."

"Right, right, right, I asked last night, Principal Ding and others are taking the school bus to the airport today."

"Finally it’s coming, I’m so excited."

"Everyone move aside a bit."

"Stand properly, stand just like we were trained to during military training."

"Ok, ok, stand up straight everyone."

"Raise the banners."

"Wave the flags!"

As the students watched the bus slowly driving up, they were so excited, their blood began to boil.

Honk honk honk!

The bus honked a few times.

Then the driver continued to slowly drive towards the school gate, while on both sides of the road, the students cheered excitedly.

"Principal Ding is awesome!"

"Go, school!"

"Grab the big prize!"

Outside the bus window, Ding Yue could almost hear the excited cheers of the students.

What’s going on?

Were there so many students gathered at the school gate to see off the school team going to compete in the National Robotics Competition and National Science and Technology Innovation Exhibition?

But.

Ding Yue hadn’t organized any students to see them off because he hadn’t considered such formality.

"Who amongst you organized the students to see us off?" Ding Yue looked at everyone in the bus.

First off Huang Youjie and Xu Bin shook their heads.

Then the heads of the Computer Science Department, Liu Wei, and the Mechanical Engineering Department, Cao Guowei, shook their heads.

Upon seeing this, Ding Yue couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled.

Was it arranged by the Academic Affairs Office?

Probably not, Qi definitely wasn’t like that, and without Ding Yue’s instructions, who would take the liberty to organize such a farewell ceremony.

"Yue, could it be that the students have organized this themselves?" Huang Youjie asked, frowning.

"On their own initiative?"

Ding Yue was somewhat puzzled.

At this moment, Xu Bin, holding his mobile phone, said: "I’ll be damned, the students really did organize this themselves. Yue, look, on the school’s official forum, there’s a post saying that the students spontaneously organized a send-off ceremony for us this morning. There are a few thousand replies under the post."

"No wonder..."
