When Virginia returned to the "House in the Forest", Evan and the others had already had dinner and were cooking after cooking and digesting food.

Don’t think wrongly, you can face the wall with your own mind - they are just playing oversized flying chess on the living room carpet.

This flying chess was created by Evan, which is somewhat similar to another game of the same name originated from India. Of course, only Evan himself knows that this is a masterpiece of the Chinese.

When Virginia entered the room, Evan was clasping his hands and shaking the dice, muttering "GodBless" in his mouth. Audrey, who was standing next to him, smiled and looked relaxed and at ease.

Just now, Audrey, as if God had helped, gave two perfect points and bombed Evan's plane back to the base camp twice. Now her plane is far ahead, if Evan wants to catch up, he can only pray to God.

"open!"

Evan yelled loudly, threw out the dice, and rolled the dice on the floor a few times. After he stopped, Evan looked closely and cheered, "Very good, it's six!"

Evan looked like he moved a plane from base camp to the starting point, and then picked up the dice.

After three more times, his plane can set off.

Evan focused on playing games. When Audrey saw Virginia coming back, she waved to her and smiled, "Virginia, are you back! Have you eaten it? If not, the pasta will be left in the kitchen."

Virginia collected the key and said, "I've eaten it, thank you, Audrey!"

She came to the chessboard and looked at it, and smiled and said, "Evan, even God can't save you if you are like this!"

Evan shook the dice and gave his sister a angrily glance, saying, "Go away, go away, if you can't get out, I will depend on you!"

After saying that, Evan threw the dice. Stop the dice and counted it out, it was five!

As soon as he saw the points, Evan gently patted his mouth, and said while patting: "Ouch, crow's mouth! crow's mouth!"

After punishing himself, Evan turned his eyes to Virginia. Virginia glared back, "What do you think of me? Recognize the reality, you have no hope in this game!"

At this time, Audrey sat on the ground and picked up the dice, looking at Evan with a smile: "Do you want to continue?"

Evan thought for a while, and bowed his head unwillingly and said, "Forget it, I've given up!"

Audrey threw the dice into the box containing chess pieces on the ground, patted her hands, and said, "Since that's the case, I'm willing to accept the loss. Evan, why don't you go quickly, hurry up, finish the work, let's have another game!"

While saying that, Audrey pushed Evan in the direction of the kitchen with both hands.

Their bets are nothing else, it is the work of cleaning the kitchen after dinner.

After sending the dejected Evan into the kitchen, Audrey returned to the living room and saw Virginia sitting on the board of flying chess, her eyes empty, and her hands were unconsciously playing with the chess pieces.

Audrey asked, "Virginia, have you gone to UCLA?"

Virginia came to her senses and nodded, "Yes..."

"By the way, what's the environment for art high school?"

Audrey said, "It's OK!"

She saw that Virginia didn't seem to want to talk about UCLA, so she followed the topic and talked about her experience today: "Because we were close to USC, we all spent the afternoon on campus..."

...

The next day, the three of them went to California Tech, a kilometer away. This time they would not bump into headless flies like yesterday, because they had Edward Rogers, the senior, as a guide.

The California Institute of Technology, located in Pasadena, covers an area of ​​only 124 acres (50.18 hectares), making it a mini-type campus. In comparison, the two other schools in Los Angeles have 226 hectares of Southern California campus and 170 hectares of UCLA, both of which are several times larger than California Institute of Technology.

However, California Polytechnic is small in size, but it has all the internal organs, has healthy development and strong strength. Its development began with the scientific research grants of the National Committee during World War I and rose during the booming economic development of California. It is even more inseparable from its educational philosophy, namely, "while pursuing the most important scientific research, under the guidance of basic sciences such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, comprehensive courses in engineering and pure science are carried out; through extensive teaching in subjects such as English, history and economics."

Under the guidance of this concept, Caltech became a research university with strict implementation of elite education and a high proportion of teachers and students. In its previous life, it was the highest-density institution for Nobel Prize winning in the world.

At 9:30 in the morning, Evan and his group arrived at California Polytechnic and successfully met with Edward Rogers at 1200 California Avenue, the entrance to the college.

The group's trip to California Polytechnic also starts here.

There is a building on both sides of the entrance, with Norman Brigie Physics Laboratory on the left and High Voltage Research Institute on the right.

Rogers told Evan that a charity foundation of a tycoon named Alfred Sloan was talking to the school about donations. If the talk was made, the high-pressure institute on the right might change its name.

Who is this Alfred Sloan?

He is the CEO of General Motors, which broke out in a major strike some time ago. He has been in this position for twenty-five years. During this period, Sloan made drastic reforms to develop General Motors from less than 12% of its market share when he took office to surpass Ford in the 1930s and become the largest company in the American automotive industry.

However, due to the strike recently, Sloan is facing tremendous pressure, and it is rumored that he may resign or be promoted (retired) to the position of chairman.

After passing through the entrance, Rogers first took everyone to visit the library, then headed east along OliveWalk to a square white wall and red roof two-story building.

It is called Hovses, and it is a dormitory area of ​​California Polytechnic. It consists of four different areas, namely Blacker House, Dabney House, Fleming House and Ricketts House. According to the school's requirements, all undergraduates must live here for the first year, and can only choose to live in dormitories or find a place to live by themselves after the second grade. This regulation originates from the imitation of the accommodation school system of Oxford and Cambridge University in the UK. The accommodation school system requires that the accommodation area is not only a student's bedroom, but also a student's living area and a study area discussion area. In the accommodation area, all things, including cleaning and cooking, must be done by yourself.

Because Hovses is the place where Evan stays the most in addition to the classroom in the next year, Rogers specially introduced a lot of internal situations. Each of the four districts of Hovses has its own characteristics and rules. Rogers suggested that Evan choose carefully on the day of registration based on his own situation.
