Chapter 60: Inviting Mountains and Rivers to Build Together
As soon as someone in your vicinity received an admission letter from Shanhe University, it would create quite a commotion, attracting the attention of onlookers.
"What? I got accepted! Shanhe University actually admitted me! I must visit a temple to fulfill my wish."
"Hey, my notice hasn't arrived yet. It's probably delayed."
"Wow! I received the notice yesterday, and I'm green with envy. Did he save the Milky Way in a past life?"
"If possible, I'd trade my future roommate's 20-year lifespan for an admission letter from Shanhe University!"
The fortunate recipients of these notices couldn't help but snap photos, record videos, and post them on social media to share their joy.
Gradually, Shanhe University's admission notices began circulating on the internet, prompting many netizens to develop "pink eye disease."
Simultaneously, they noticed the distinctiveness of Shanhe University's admission notices compared to those of other institutions. The background pattern depicted a heavenly palace nestled between two mountains, offering a panoramic view of the four campuses, set against the backdrop of mountains and the Yellow River.
The scenery, as its name suggested, exuded an overwhelming sense of pride in the homeland's mountains and rivers. Moreover, each student's name on the notice was personally handwritten by Qin Mu, adding a touch of sincerity compared to machine-typed text.
Along with the admission letter, a wordless book served as a bonus, evoking a deep sense of sincerity throughout Shanhe University.
"To be honest, this is the first time I've seen an admission notice in this form. The bookmarks in the wordless book are actually the admission notice!"
"With the mountains and rivers as an invitation, I invite you to enroll in the school and build the mountains and rivers together. These words make me feel so excited; I can't wait to start school immediately!"
"@Keijin University, look at their admission notice. What are you doing? Do you also send a mobile phone card and bank card?"
"@XX University, learn a little bit. If you are so diligent, you might become my second choice this year!"
Netizens praised this notice as the best in history. Many of them took the initiative to compare Shanhe University's admission notice with other universities and shared their findings online.
These other notices often featured extravagant giveaways, such as mobile phone cards, bank cards, or other bundled offers, fueling concerns about hidden consumption rules.
By contrast, Shanhe University's notice was straightforward and unassuming, consisting of a wordless book, a bookmark, and a freshman orientation handbook.

Qingbei University, Admissions Publicity Office:
Du Yushan stared at his computer screen, shaking his head as he reviewed the thousands of notifications from netizens. They kept tagging him, urging him to adopt Shanhe University's notification style.
"These netizens... What are you doing, mentioning me like this?" Du Yushan couldn't help but twitch his mouth and develop a few creases on his forehead. As the person in charge of the Admissions Promotion Office, he was responsible for the school's official website account.
In recent days, he had been bombarded with notifications from netizens, repeatedly recommending Shanhe University's notification style to him. He took the time to inspect it and found that Shanhe University's admission notice was beautifully crafted, creative, and full of sincerity.
The various invitations had a compelling charm, like "Shanhe University welcomes you for your ideals," "Shanhe University invites you to enroll and build the country together," and "Splashing ink in this life, I will wait for you at Shanhe University with a preface."
In contrast, Qingbei University's notice appeared quite dull, which Du Yushan found acceptable. He believed that the primary function of an admission notice was to inform the applicant of their acceptance and didn't require extravagant decorations.

Yenching University, Principal's Office:
Xu Yan, with his head lowered, was being scolded by Principal Yu Tianzhou. His face reddened as he bore the brunt of the criticism.
"Just look at you! Not only did our admissions fall short of others, but even our admission notice is also shabbily designed. I'm giving you one day to revamp the notice. It must surpass Shanhe University's!" Yu Tianzhou fumed. "After reading the news today, I saw many unknown netizens mentioning our university."
They were complaining about the admission notices being rough, outdated, and unimpressive and urged them to learn from Shanhe University.
These netizens had even created a comparison chart showcasing various aspects of the notices from the two universities. Shanhe University's notice had triumphed in terms of novelty, sincerity, craftsmanship, and other categories.
"But... but... I asked for your opinion on this notice style two days ago, and you said it was pretty good," Xu Yan replied, feeling unjustly treated.
Yu Tianzhou snorted and rolled his eyes. "If I tell you to change it, you should change it. Why so much useless chatter?"
Xu Yan had no choice but to accept the criticism and prepare for a thorough revamp of the admission notice.
