Chapter 8 I Still Have to Go Out

This was such a straight-forward statement that it instantly ignited the scene.

Shi Huilan turned around and left without saying anything. Chen Yuanguang touched his head and thought, if it was screwed, it was screwed. Anyway, he had no desire to reproduce in this world.

He thought about it and thought that it was probably because Lin Ran married into the family and Shi Huilan had a good relationship with his mother. After knowing that Lin Ran was likely to have an affair and even ordered someone to kill her childhood sweethearts, she wished she could send her father to jail herself.

Anyway, there is no death penalty now, so being locked up for life is a good thing. These are the original words of Shi Huilan that Chen Yuanguang found from his memory.

This world is very new. In the past, you had to guess what the future would be like and describe it through literary works combined with your own fantasies. Now the future is directly in front of you and you no longer need to imagine it.

While achieving everything in one step, the hazy beauty of fantasy is also lost.

It is difficult for Chen Yuanguang to feel involved in this time and space. He seems to regard this as a golden finger. He will eventually have to return to modern society to put the golden finger to use.

It's just like when he read an online article about traveling through time and space. Wherever he came from is his home, and no matter how good the place he goes to is, it's just a place to stay.

After completing the knowledge download, Chen Yuanguang felt that he needed some time to rest. He silently said "quit" in his mind and returned to 2018.

Breathing the familiar scent of the pillow and lying in the room without a constant temperature and humidity control effect, Chen Yuanguang felt inexplicably relaxed.

"Yuan Guang, I feel okay recently, I think I have settled down.

I had been to New York for an exchange program when I was in high school, so it wasn't too new to me. I have some old classmates in New York, and they have been asking me to go out and have parties every day recently, but I don't want to move at all.

Maybe it’s because of the change in environment, except for going to class every day, I just want to lie at home and hibernate.”

Chen Yuanguang estimated that it was ten o'clock in the morning New York time and called. Lin Jia kept talking as if he hadn't talked to anyone for a long time.

"How have you been these past two days? I see that your book hasn't been updated for two days since the last leave note. Aren't your readers going to riot?
Or is it because I left that you have run out of inspiration recently?" Lin Jia said with a smile.

In Lin Jia's opinion, Chen Yuanguang has no idea how to fall in love, but he can come up with all kinds of plots in online articles with ease, and he also gives advice in his own book club. He himself has never had a serious relationship, but he teaches others how to fall in love in various ways.

Chen Yuanguang said calmly: "I still plan to study abroad, but I haven't decided where to go yet."

After experiencing high-intensity knowledge downloading, Chen Yuanguang changed his original idea. He thought it was too weird that online writers were talking about room-temperature superconductivity, artificial intelligence, and new materials.

The technology he will bring out in the future needs to be backed by a bigger halo and a more convincing background.

Under such circumstances, it is particularly necessary to go out and get a doctorate degree to put on a layer of shell.

"Okay, but you have to hurry up. It's September now, and the application periods from December to February next year are ending one after another. You'd better find an overseas study agency.

Ask schools like New Oriental or New Channel to help you plan carefully about the TOEFL and GRE you will take during the remaining time, and what materials you need to prepare.

Because you don’t have any scientific research experience, and you haven’t taken the TOEFL and GRE yet, so you’ll be a bit pressed for time.” Lin Jia muttered.

It was indeed a bit lonely when Chen Yuanguang was not around.

When the two of them are together, they can chat about anything under the sun. But now, whether it's their roommates or some high school classmates, they can't talk to the same thing.

She became his roommate because they had only known each other for a short time, and his high school classmate because he knew her identity, which made her vaguely feel that the other party was trying to please her.

Lin Jia's father once flew a helicopter to pick her up from high school. After that, all kinds of rumors about her emerged in high school, and the common point was that her family was extremely rich. "No, I want to apply for a doctorate, and I don't think these institutions can give me much good advice." Chen Yuanguang said.

Various study abroad agencies mostly provide master's degree application projects. To put it bluntly, as long as you pay enough money, they can help you think of various ways to reach your destination.

If you can't get there on foot, then just take the water route.

However, doctoral applications are different. The vast majority of doctoral applications to overseas universities have nothing to do with study abroad institutions, and applicants can apply even if they do not seek help from study abroad institutions.

Another point is that Chen Yuanguang didn't want to find a study abroad agency at all. He was confident that he could easily get an offer from a top university via email.

If the Matrix helmet was still there, Chen Yuanguang would definitely not choose to study abroad. He would definitely stay in the country and would not even leave Jiangcheng.

Now that the Matrix has become a point in the brain, there are more choices.

The current plan is to go to the best university, get a doctorate degree as quickly as possible, and build a reputation as a genius.

"PhD? I'm not trying to discourage you. With your GPA and academic performance, you can only apply to universities ranked around 100 in the US. Even if you raise your TOEFL and GRE scores a bit, you can only get around 50 at most.

Ivy League or top public schools are almost impossible." Lin Jia got straight to the point: "If you want to come to New York, State University of New York?"

“Stony Brook University, which is also in New York City, and Long Island and Manhattan are not far away.

If you go to Buffalo and Binghamton, they’re in New York State, not New York City.”

The State University of New York, like the University of California, is a public university system consisting of many branches, the most famous of which is probably Stony Brook. Yang Zhenning taught here for more than 30 years, and Tian Gang, the director of the Department of Mathematics at Yenching University, also taught at Stony Brook.

Chen Yuanguang said: "Let's take it one step at a time. I will apply to any company that wants me."

Chen Yuanguang thought that it was their blessing to recruit me.

"You have to prepare for the application to study abroad. Do you still have time to write this book now?" Lin Jia asked.

Chen Yuanguang smiled helplessly: "I'm afraid there's no time, so I have to give up the outline. Anyway, I'm writing a light romance novel, so there's no strong main plot, unlike other types where I have to fill in all the holes.

For a book like this that is entirely about characters, it’s enough to just explain the ending of the main character.”

"How are you feeling over there lately?" Chen Yuanguang changed the subject. He didn't want to continue this topic, which always made him feel like his story was going to fail, and this feeling was not good for an online writer.

Lin Jia said, "It's not bad. New York is colder than Jiangcheng. I don't want to get up every day. Columbia University is in Manhattan, so the security environment here is pretty good, but the cost of living is a bit high."

Chen Yuanguang complained: "If even a young lady feels that the consumption is high, then the consumption is really high.

It seems that New York is not suitable for me. I will see if there are more suitable opportunities in Boston. "

As he searched for information on the Internet, Chen Yuanguang thought clearly. On the browser page of the computer in front of him, there were several large words written:

"The 2018th China Science Fiction Rising Star Competition "
