Lu Luo held his breath and continued forward. His dorm number was 6-6-20, meaning Dorm 6, the middle spot in the 6th row.
Finding his bed, Lu Luo let out a sigh of relief. Thinking about living here for the next two years, he suddenly felt a sense of desolation.
"This kind of life is a bit too cruel!"
While he was organizing his belongings, the guy from bed 19 suddenly walked over, reeking of alcohol, and let out a garlic-scented burp at Lu Luo.
"Brother, got any cigarettes? I'm out, lend me a few."
With that, the other person reached out to grab his clothes, but Lu Luo easily dodged him. He used one finger to push the man's head, sending him back.
"Sorry, I don't smoke."
After being pushed away by Lu Luo, the drunkard sized him up. It seemed he found Lu Luo difficult to deal with, given that one finger was enough to push him back, and he suddenly showed weakness.
"My bad, I drank too much, couldn't control my mouth, hehe! My name is Quan Pu, from the Physics department. We'll be roommates for the next two years."
"Biology department, Lu Luo."
The anger just now wasn't faked. He actually suppressed his rage, which is rare for an alcoholic.
However, there's another possibility: everything this person did was for a clear purpose—to test you.
Actually, Lu Luo was a bit surprised too. This guy, reeking of alcohol, really didn't seem like someone with such rationality; he retreated too decisively.
If it was a test, then it made sense.
It seems that while Donghuan Alliance University's environment is a bit poor, a university is still a university, and it hides quite a few notable individuals. After all, the populous Fourth Ring only has four universities… After meticulously organizing everything, Lu Luo sat on his bed, contemplating what he should do next.
Making money, academics, and cultivation—these three things were all very important. The Ring Affairs Office had to grow and strengthen to help him accumulate resources.
Academics couldn't fall behind either; his breadth of knowledge was related to his role as an Observer, and acquiring knowledge would be useful for his future battles and reconnaissance.
"Wuwuwu, you finally did something useful. Life is too hard."
Finally, there was cultivation. He had the Devourer's Tentacles, and this kind of super-large communal dormitory made cultivation impossible, even at night, because someone would surely go to the bathroom or stay awake.
"If it doesn't work out, I'll just have to sneak out at night."
After tidying up, Lu Luo and the other two gathered in the open space in front of Dormitory Building 1, their pre-arranged meeting spot.
Upon meeting, Lu Luo noticed that Gu Fangyi already had injuries on his face.
After a moment's thought, Lu Luo wasn't surprised. Although Gu Fangyi had a good attitude towards him, he was actually a very proud person at heart.
He was only kind to people he respected or friends he acknowledged.
To others, Gu Fangyi was a reserved, difficult-to-communicate-with, and arrogant person. Such individuals were most likely to clash with others in this kind of open-dormitory environment.
Zhou Kai, on the other hand, had a cheerful expression, suggesting he probably got along well in his dorm. However, when he saw Gu Fangyi, his expression immediately changed, becoming serious.
Zhou Kai: "Brother Gu, how did you get hurt?"
Lu Luo: "Did you win?"
Both questions were simple, but Gu Fangyi clearly preferred Lu Luo's phrasing.
"Yes, I won."
"Ah oh! Little Gu encountered a formidable opponent. His injuries are not as light as he makes them out to be. His previous wounds hadn't fully healed, and they tore open again in that fight."
"How many did you fight?"
"Three!"
Lu Luo frowned slightly; this number was much lower than he expected.
Although Gu Fangyi was not as strong as him, two consecutive life-and-death struggles had given him rapid progress in strength.
Eagle Eye was not only a powerful long-range sequence but also excellent in close combat. For ordinary people, Lu Luo thought Gu Fangyi could take on ten.
But now, three people had seriously injured Gu Fangyi, which confirmed Lu Luo's earlier thought: there were many masters hidden here.
"The opponents were very formidable!" Lu Luo said.
"Why do you say that, Brother Luo? Are you looking down on my Brother Gu? Three against one, and they couldn't even beat my Brother Gu. They're all trash."
Zhou Kai's tone was boastful; if one didn't know the situation, they might think he was the one who fought three.
Lu Luo glanced at Zhou Kai and said airily,
"I think if the three of you went at it together, Gu Fangyi probably wouldn't get hurt."
Zhou Kai stood rooted to the spot as if struck by lightning.
"Brother Luo, how can you say that? I'm strong too, you know."
However, before he could finish, Gu Fangyi twisted the knife further, telling Lu Luo:
"If it were him, it wouldn't be 'probably,' he definitely wouldn't get hurt."
"Beautiful, that's the end of it, brother."
"What do you mean? Are you saying my average standard doesn't even reach that of a good-for-nothing? Have you forgotten that I shed blood with you guys too?
Forget it, honest people don't play with you. I'm going to familiarize myself with the campus environment for future development."
Zhou Kai finished speaking and left, leaving Lu Luo and Gu Fangyi alone.
After Zhou Kai left, Lu Luo quickly supported Gu Fangyi, who was a bit unsteady. They were very close, close enough to make one have strange thoughts.
"You really are stubborn, but for three people to injure you this badly is quite something. Need any help?"
Gu Fangyi, supported by Lu Luo, sat down on a nearby rock. He waved his hand.
"I thought you wouldn't ask such a question."
"Tsk, did you forget? We're allies now, you're not alone."
"No need, they're more injured than I am."
"I'll take you to the infirmary."
Gu Fangyi refused Lu Luo.
"I'll go to the infirmary myself. You go take a stroll too. Although there won't be any danger on campus, it's a new environment after all, so it's good to get familiar with it."
"Sure enough, same-sex is true love, opposite-sex is just for reproduction. Little Brother Gu can only say such long sentences with you."
"Alright." Lu Luo didn't insist. He didn't waste time and left directly to familiarize himself with the campus environment.
All three of them were sponsored students from the Wasteland Orphanage, and they were elites who had stood out from many wasteland orphans.
Even Zhou Kai could be considered an elite among most people; having two sequences was no joke, and he naturally understood the importance of familiarizing himself with his surroundings.
Moreover, after familiarizing himself with the environment once, even if Lu Luo couldn't remember it himself, the Observer would help him memorize it… Lu Luo first went to the cafeteria. There weren't many people at this time. Lu Luo glanced at the serving auntie who was dozing off and casually bought a horrible-tasting grain bar. Why emphasize 'horrible-tasting'?
Because during his time in this world, Lu Luo had always thought grain bars all tasted the same, until he bought this campus grain bar just now, and he realized it could actually be this bad.
Sour and sticky; if Lu Luo hadn't never eaten shit, he would have described it with that word.
Leaving the cafeteria, Lu Luo then went to the library. Although it was a campus library, reading books here actually cost money.
It cost 10 Yuan per month, supposedly to prevent low-quality students from damaging books, but in the terrible environment of the Fourth Ring, the fee was somewhat understandable.
Leaving the library, Lu Luo took a walk around the academic buildings. There were quite a few new students like him touring the campus. During this time, he was even approached by girls twice.
After touring the academic buildings, Lu Luo had a basic understanding of Donghuan University's main structures. Leaning on the railing of the academic building, he stroked his chin and let out a rather obnoxious sigh.
"Sigh, constantly being approached is also a kind of trouble. This damned, nowhere-to-put-it, charm of mine!"
"Oh! Quite narcissistic. Student Lu Luo, you've just entered campus and already have such profound sentiments?"
