Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: Seeing the Periodic Table at the Beginning of School

So there are abilities beyond the sequences. Alright, the Observer brags all day long, but it turns out he's just a little brother.

"Luoge, are you okay?" Zhou Kai asked worriedly, and Gu Fangyi, who was beside him, showed the same look.

However, seeing that Lu Luo's complexion had returned to normal, he didn't ask.

Lu Luo waved his hand at them and looked up at the high wall at a 45-degree angle.

"Nothing much, I was just thinking that I'm going to school tomorrow, and you all know what I look like.

When those wolf-like senior sisters swarm me, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it. I'm considering whether to buy the Emperor's Pill from Blue sky Pharmaceutical. That medicine is very expensive, and just thinking about it gives me a headache."

"Get lost!"

"Scram!"

... The next morning, Lu Yu knocked hard on Lu Luo's door.

"Lu Luo, wake up quickly! Let's go register together! We'll be late if we don't go now!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming, what's the rush!"

Lu Luo grabbed a very coarse grain bar and went downstairs with Lu Yu. Gu Fangyi and Zhou Kai were already waiting for him downstairs, which surprised Lu Yu a bit.

Because in her impression, Lu Luo had always been a quiet person who didn't like to make friends. How come he seemed to have changed so much these past few days? What exactly had this guy been through?

"Brother Luo, who is this?" Zhou Kai greeted proactively.

"Lu Yu, my sister."

"Oh, it's your sister! That's great."

Hearing that Lu Yu was Lu Luo's sister, Zhou Kai smiled like a blooming morning glory, and even Gu Fangyi looked at Lu Yu a few more times.

Lu Yu was very young and beautiful, and her clothes were quite trendy, so she was indeed very eye-catching on the street.

"Alright, let's go together, we're in a hurry."

"Uh..." Zhou Kai raised his hand, still wanting to say something to Lu Yu, but the other three had already walked away...

Taking the orbital train in the East Ring, the four quickly arrived at the entrance of East Ring University.

After a series of strict inspections, each of them presented their Alliance ID cards, fingerprints, blood tests, pupil scans, and detailed personal backgrounds before being allowed to enter the school.

"It's so troublesome!" Zhou Kai couldn't help but complain.

"It is troublesome indeed." Lu Luo also nodded. Even in his previous life, a mobile phone and an ID card were enough to travel anywhere, so why was it so complicated now?

At this moment, Lu Yu provided the reason.

"Haven't you guys studied history? Before the Zhimie Crisis, humans had already developed devices like all-in-one cards and DNA detection, making life very convenient.

But after the Zhimie Crisis, such things were no longer allowed to be manufactured, so now people can only use more rigid record verification methods.

The main reason is the fear that overly intelligent devices might generate Zhimie species due to dark energy erosion, like Noah in the past."

"Noah!"

[Noah, an 8th-tier Zhimie species, completely disappeared in Wasteland Year 381 and has been missing for 19 years.]

Lu Luo remembered this name. It was known as the source of the Zhimie species disaster, said to be a discarded AI outside the wall that was invaded by dark energy and then combined with some kind of phantom to form a powerful alien species.

No one knew how Noah disappeared or if it was truly dead, but Lu Luo knew that trouble was coming soon.

Before they had walked a few steps, several second-year senior sisters from Alliance University had already surrounded him.

"Junior, are you new here? What's your name?"

"Can I help you carry your bag?"

"Junior, I won't help you carry things, but if you don't know the way, just hold my hand, and I'll lead you."

Listening to the increasingly bold and explicit conversations, even the battle-hardened Lu Luo broke out in a sweat. In his previous life, women weren't exactly high and mighty, but most of the time, women held a relatively higher position in relationships.

That's why there were 'dog lickers' inflating prices, and 'green tea bitches' taking advantage.

As a man who had experienced the 'feminist' era of his previous life, when had Lu Luo ever witnessed such a scene?

[Host, you need to adapt to this environment. Isn't it a basic operation in the wasteland era for women to pursue men?]

It wasn't that Lu Luo couldn't understand these women's thoughts. In his previous life, men only outnumbered women by 3%, yet it led to such a large number of 'dog lickers'.

In the wasteland, women outnumbered men by more than 30%, so the scarcity of men was imaginable.

Especially handsome men like Lu Luo were the optimal choice for most ordinary women.

"Oh, no need, thank you, senior sisters."

Lu Luo politely refused all these women one by one. Compared to him, Zhou Kai and Gu Fangyi naturally accepted the senior sisters' help.

"Hmph, turns out Brother Luo is just a keyboard warrior." Zhou Kai pouted, and Gu Fangyi nodded in agreement.

"Oh, Lu Luo finally did something human." This was Lu Yu's opinion.

The four finally pushed through the crowd and entered the campus of East Ring University.

Back on campus, Lu Luo always had a different feeling. It was said that East Ring University had been established for over 100 years, making it a university with a long history.

Walking through the noisy corridors of this ancient campus, Lu Luo seemed to feel the cultural sedimentation of a century: profound, wise, and deep.

Even in the wasteland era, knowledge was still something cherished by everyone, a reason to strive, because knowledge was one of the few things that could break through class barriers.

[Don't think that way. The universities in the Fourth Ring are hotbeds of campus violence, gathering places for the strong of the high wall, fishing grounds for hunters, and nightmares for the weak.]

These assessments were indeed quite realistic.

"Lu Yu, well, we'll part ways here for now. We're going to the dorms."

"Okay, go ahead. Don't cause trouble at university. You don't have the strength, and there are many people here you can't afford to offend. Then Big Brother will have to clean up your mess again."

Lu Yu spoke without any politeness, making Lu Luo quite embarrassed.

"It's okay, Brother Luo, I'll pretend I didn't hear it." Zhou Kai said very loudly...

The three of them went to their respective dormitories according to the student ID cards the school gave them.

Lu Luo's dorm number was Year 1 Room 6. When he arrived, Lu Luo realized that it was completely different from the university dorm he had imagined.

This is a communal bunk room!

Lu Luo was shocked. Even if the university conditions in his previous life were bad, a dorm only had 8 people at most.

[Don't be surprised yet, maybe the truly shocking things are yet to come.]

But the dormitory in front of him probably had more than 40 beds in a row. This dormitory had a total of 6 rows of such beds. Oh my god! Is this a concentration camp?

All the beds were bunk beds, but only one person lived in each. The upper bunk could be used for placing items, and the lower bunk for sleeping. Of course, it could also be reversed, they said it was a free choice.

Heh heh, too free.

Lu Luo walked into the dormitory with his luggage. As he passed a bed that was already occupied, a strong, sour smell mixed with a decaying odor flowed into his nostrils.

This feeling was like 10-year-old fermented long beans mixed with stinky tofu and manure water, stirred evenly, and then passed in front of him. Truly, terrifying.

[My God, my heavens, my Lord and Holy Light! This person's feet, the periodic table of elements.

The great Sequence S-11 Observer is an information-gathering sequence, and smell is one of them. I cannot adapt to this environment!

Host, if you don't do something, the Observer will be stunk to death.]

This scene made Lu Luo realize how excellent the apartment Lu Yang had arranged for them was.

"Ridiculous!"
