Wen Shi's pupils returned to calm and he calmly withdrew his gaze.
He had no intention of talking to the zombie. Instead, he took a few steps away and pretended not to know him.
I hope that all teachers in the future academy will understand one thing: the personal behavior of the general should not be attributed to the master.
The female teacher stood at the iron gate, took a notice, compared it with the name on the ID, and then let one person in. Wen Shi found that the portraits on everyone's ID were very blurred, as if to facilitate alternative identities for admission.
"The dormitories for special admissions students have been assigned. Remember to check the bulletin board." The female teacher reminded.
Jian Qingrong also had an admission letter. The Mermaid Coast was once a bustling trade, but now it was a very exclusive place, allowing tourists from all over to come and listen to concerts only in winter. The rest of the time, barring illegal immigrants, only foreign students and returning residents could enter.
Jian Qingrong clearly does not belong to either of these two types.
But he calmly took out a piece of haphazardly folded thin paper from his pocket, and when he unfolded it, he found the admission notice.
Jian Qingrong's notice was even golden, and the female teacher nodded at him when she received it.
Today, shocking things happened one after another.
Wen Shi asked quietly: "What's wrong with you?"
Jian Qingrong said calmly, "I paid a sponsorship fee."
Shortly after receiving the ticket, he received another letter stating that as long as he sponsored Pearl College, he would be eligible for admission along with Dr. Aaron.
There is a special postmark on the letter, indicating that it was sent by the postman himself.
The postman is the most respected identity in different dimensional spaces. It is said that he can help you deliver express to all corners of the world as long as you can afford the price. Occasionally, traveling back in time is not a problem.
Letters delivered personally by the postman are quite authoritative.
With the help of the other party, Jian Qingrong donated a building.
Wen Shi: "…"
Has our big factory started to make a profit?
He had a look of despair on his face: "If I'm not mistaken, this postman's last name is also You, right?"
Jian Qingrong actually nodded.
It is now dark and there are not many students walking around in the school. The place closest to the iron gate is a small supermarket, which is the only shopping point in the school besides the cafeteria. After entering the gate, there are dormitory buildings all the way to the right.
The bulletin board is also nearby, and there are street lights around it.
All the special admissions students lived in Building No. 4 in the North District, in standard six-person dormitories. Because of the connection between the train tickets and the team props, Wen Shi and four others lived in one room, and You Shi also lived on the same floor.
Walking forward, the group successfully found dormitory building No. 4 near the school clinic.
Men and women live in the same building, with men on the left and women on the right. Although the rules and regulations state that people are not allowed to wander around, privacy cannot be fully guaranteed.
As they entered the dormitory building, Ji Yuanzhi said meaningfully, "Mermaids have a very vague distinction between male and female. It's said that there are even hermaphrodites."
The air inside the dormitory building was excessively humid. The lights in the first-floor lobby were off. From the dark duty room came the dorm manager's voice: "Lights out at 10:00 every day. Recently, some students have reported seeing mermaids moving around when they get up at night. If you see one, please notify me immediately."
After giving her two instructions, she said impatiently, "Come here to get the student rules and keys. Curb ends at 11 o'clock. Don't walk around after dark."
Don't take this description lightly; it doesn't represent a rule that must be followed.
Wen Shi calmly went over and collected the booklets from several people. There was a small window facing the outside in the duty room. The light from the street lamp shone through faintly, and he saw a face without much flesh and blood.
It was hard to tell their age because they were so thin. However, the dormitory manager had a very young voice, as did the previous female teacher. One word could aptly describe them: a voice kissed by an angel.
The dormitory building has seven floors and no elevator. When you turn in from the corridor, you will see a unique toilet at the end.
The smell wafted over.
Combined with the reminder just given by the dormitory manager, it is obvious that there is no toilet in the student dormitory.
Wen Shi and his family lived in 502, while You Shi lived a little further inside, in 510.
The dormitory door is made of iron sheets, the material is uneven, and it uses the most common ordinary iron lock.
Wen Shi had just finished unlocking the door when two young men in their early twenties came over. One of them was quite familiar and waved and said hello, "This place is similar to my university dorm." He then introduced himself, "Just call me Xiao Li. I'm a junior."
Next to Xiao Li was a man with a feminine appearance. He said in a sinister voice, "A Zhuang, a homeless man."
Although they had only met once, Wen Shi was already wary of the two. When they introduced themselves, they did not mention which guild they were from.
Ji Yuanzhi is very famous in the virtual world, Wen Shi has become famous recently, and Xiao Li mainly turned his attention to the other two.
Song Yan directly revealed his own name. Anyway, he didn't have any identity in the real world for people to investigate. Jian Qingrong didn't even look at them from beginning to end.
Wen Shi pushed open the door and silently stopped Xiao Li from getting closer.
Everyone looked around the dormitory and no one spoke.
All the beds have been prepared in advance and people can lie down and sleep right away. The dormitory allocation list also has regulations for each person's bed. Wen Shi's bed is by the window and Jian Qingrong is on the bunk below him. No matter when Wen Shi gets up at night, even if he just turns over, he will be the first to feel it.
Being so close, Wen Shi seriously suspected that he had paid for the game.
Jane Sponsor does have the money.
Thinking of this, Wen Shi was very moved. His factory, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, must have survived!
Xiao Li came in and wiped the table with his hand first: "It's not very dusty."
Either the school has specially cleaned the dormitory, or the previous batch of students who lived here just left.
Ji Yuanzhi was the last to enter. It was dark, so he flipped on the light and took in the layout. The two of them shared a wardrobe, which opened onto a balcony with its own sink.
He opened the wardrobe and found school uniforms and everyday clothes inside, all brand new and unopened.
With the light on, Wen Shi sat on the chair and started looking through the student rules.
Rule 1: All new students must undergo a unified physical examination at the college on the second day after registration.
Just when he thought this might generate a task, the system prompt sounded at the right time:
[Side quest: physical examination.]
Mission Description: You've successfully registered and are about to undergo a comprehensive physical examination, which will reveal many issues. If you're not confident enough, you can go to the supermarket or cafeteria and buy a Linyuan brand cake. Eat one before the physical tomorrow, as this will affect your original blood test results.
Article 2 of the Student Code of Conduct: All on-campus purchases can only be paid for with campus cards.
What a coincidence, they had neither money nor cards.
Everyone was reading the student code of conduct. Ji Yuan knew: "The supermarket is open until 10 pm, and the cafeteria should close even earlier."
The implication is: steal, rob, and get something for free.
Xiao Li and A Zhuang lived in the upper and lower bunk beds near the door. They suddenly said they wanted to go out for a walk, which implicitly showed that they were going to the cafeteria to steal like them, and left the dormitory early.
Song Yan said uncertainly, "It's safer to do it at night."
Sneaking out of the dormitory building at night is very risky, but the success rate is high. The supermarket is still open now, and it would be too reckless to go in and steal things directly.
Wen Shi simply said, "There is more than one way."
Cold fingers touched the skin on his neck. When he looked up, he saw Jian Qingrong using his fingertips to pick up the pendant he had stuffed in his coat.
"This dormitory doesn't need too many people living in it," said Jian Qingrong.
Wen Shi smiled but said nothing.
…
Xiao Li and A Zhuang are from the same underground organization. They also enter as a team and are randomly matched.
The copy of "Mermaid Coast".
In contrast to Azhuang, Xiao Li's eyes and eyebrows were filled with the bright sincerity that was unique to college students, but Azhuang knew that this person was more cunning than usual. Taking advantage of each other's youthful appearance, sometimes the two of them played the good cop and the bad cop, which worked very well.
A Zhuang: "Now is not the most appropriate time to steal."
Xiao Li's cheerful demeanor vanished, and he scoffed, "Who said we were going to steal? Let's go find the school leaders."
A Zhuang didn't understand why he was looking for the leader.
The campus of Mingzhu Conservatory of Music is not particularly large. There is a campus map on the last page of the student code of conduct. The school leaders are usually in the comprehensive building.
The two men had just arrived at the foot of a magnificent building when a man with a big belly was walking down from upstairs. Judging from his attire and walking posture on campus, he could only be a leader.
Xiao Li quickly walked over to block the man: "Hello, I have something I'm not sure if I should tell you. It might be related to mermaids."
The leader had originally looked impatient, but after hearing the last sentence, his expression relaxed: "It's okay, go ahead."
Xiao Li pulled up a photo on his phone. Although the pixel was very low, he could still tell it was Wen Shi. He had a mermaid pendant hanging around his neck. This was the picture on the train when Wen Shi had just received the pendant and hadn't put it into his clothes yet.
Xiao Li added fuel to the fire, "We came here on the same train. He seemed very interested in mermaid culture and even asked the conductor a lot about it."
Xiao Li's expression flashed with a hint of just the right amount of hesitation: "I've thought about it for a long time and decided to report this matter first."
"You did a great job," the leader encouraged. "Do you know the name of this new student?"
"Aaron." Xiao Li uttered the two words quite clearly.
The leader took another look at the photo, nodded, and said, "I'll get you a certificate. You can go to the dormitory management office in advance to get a campus card. Ordinary freshmen have to wait until they have their physical examinations before they can get one."
The implication is that he is treated very well.
Xiao Li quickly thanked him.
A Zhuang stood beside him and suddenly remembered what the female teacher had told him before: students who provided clues about the mermaid would receive a reward.
Even if the pendant doesn't directly indicate Pei Wenwei's connection to mermaids, in a place that fears mermaids, he won't be blamed for reporting an error if he wears such an accessory.
With the certificate issued by his leader, Xiao Li easily got the campus card from the dormitory manager.
"New students get a free 50 yuan credit," the dorm manager said as he handed over his campus card. "Next time you find anything, come find me in advance."
Xiao Li nodded and took A Zhuang to the supermarket to shop.
·
If you want to shower, you only have two options: the public bathhouse or the water room. The school doesn't have water cards, so the hot water is free. Wen Shi took a quick shower and came back to ask Jian Qingrong, who was sitting quietly in the dormitory, "Where's the little octopus?"
Jian Qingrong asked quietly, "Did you miss it?"
"..." What else? Who told you to tear yourself apart like that?
Little mentally retarded children are always more likely to receive more love and affection. Of course, Wen Shi would never say this. He said in a normal tone: "For your sake, I should care about it."
Jian Qingrong: "Pets are not allowed on the train. If it's capable, it can pick the lock and get here by itself."
Wen Shi's mouth twitched. So he was locked in the sanatorium?
Each of them thinks about different issues.
Completely ignoring their conversation, Ji Yuanzhi lay on the bed, thinking about whether to rob the supermarket or steal the cafeteria at night. Song Yan's eyes were always lingering on Wen Shi. Because he had just taken a shower, the mermaid pendant was hanging on his chest in a dignified manner, without a coat to cover it.
As if knowing what he was thinking, Wen Shi said calmly: "Being associated with mermaids may not be a completely bad thing."
At least the train attendants like mermaids.
The background story of the dungeon is described from the perspective of the residents of Mermaid Coast. The residents seem to be mortal enemies with the mermaids. However, the background story does not mention the ending of the mermaids after they launch revenge.
Cover-up possible
The existence of a mermaid is essential, but he also needs to be shown through details to show a possible connection with the mermaids. This allows for further observation of the pros and cons of being a mermaid, and at least, assuming there are factions, neither side will easily kill him.
The curfew closes at 11 o'clock. In order to avoid making the purchased goods too conspicuous, Xiao Li and A Zhuang plan to come in at a certain time.
Stealing is different from robbing. In the former, the fewer people there are and the quieter the noise, the better. At half past ten, Wen Shi and Jian Qingrong explained what they were going to do, and asked him and Song Yan to stay behind while they and Ji Yuanzhi went to steal the cake.
Jian Qingrong: "No need to steal."
He got on the bus earlier than anyone else.
The two people who shared the same dormitory showed an extraordinary interest in Wen Shi on the train.
Jian Qingrong could fully predict what they had done before.
When it comes to killing and robbing, Jian Qingrong and You Shi have the same way of thinking. Just kill those two people and take the things away.
"It's too early to take action now." Wen Shi said calmly, "Stay in the dormitory for two days first."
I need a lovely roommate to help verify whether there is any danger in the dormitory at night. If there is, I will reciprocate.
After saying that, he looked towards the upper bunk in the middle position: "Fellow prisoner, are you ready?"
Considering the possible surveillance issues, Ji Yuanzhi is more suitable to be the thief's partner. Players only need to spend points to achieve the disguise effect.
Holding on to the railing, Ji Yuanzhi jumped down from the upper bunk lightly.
His hair was waist-length, a rare ice blue color. The glasses he wore all year round were taken off, and a pair of fins as thin as cicada wings appeared on his ears.
After adjustments were made to that ordinary face, it surprisingly matched the mermaid makeup.
Wen Shi raised an eyebrow: "Are you planning to use the legend of mermaids?"
Ji Yuanzhi nodded. Judging from what the dormitory manager said, most of the dangers at night came from mermaids. Although he didn't know what real mermaids looked like, this outfit was enough to confuse monster NPCs for a few seconds if they really encountered one.
Even a second is precious when escaping.
Wen Shi blinked at the fish fin, and Ji Yuanzhi explained, "It's an item that helps players breathe underwater."
It was also one of the items on his shopping list for this dungeon entry.
After saying this, he walked to the balcony.
As curfew was approaching, the balcony became their only option to go outside the dormitory building.
Since entering Mingzhu College, the salty and fishy smell in the air, similar to the sea breeze, effectively relieved the pain in the soles of their feet after entering their lungs. As long as they could still bear it, the two of them stopped taking painkillers.
Wen Shi followed closely behind and used the transformation skill.
The young man on the stool disappeared, replaced by a black cat with a nightgown effect.
It jumped down gracefully. Ji Yuanzhi was stunned when he saw the black cat. Yu Xingzhou did not tell him that Wen Shi had obtained a complete body transformation.
"Don't be in a daze, hurry up."
The next moment, the ferocious little black cat was picked up by a big hand, and Jian Qingrong silently buried his face in the soft fur on the cat's neck for two seconds.
"Sorry." He said with a hint of hoarseness in his voice.
But it's really good to suck.
The black cat pushed him away with one paw and walked slowly towards the balcony.
Looking down at the height of the fifth floor, Wen Shi decided to go through the main entrance.
Anyway, it was dark enough and the lights in the hall were not on, so it was suitable for hiding.
The cat's unique lip shape made it smile like a happy criminal: "I wonder if mermaids are afraid of cats."
Shaking off this dangerous thought, it stood up straight. If there were someone opposite, they would see the strange scene of a cat worshiping the moon.
Moon above, as a little kitty with high luck, please bless it to avoid encountering the ferocious mermaid tonight.
