Chapter 283 University Town Civility Code (Part 3)
When something happens repeatedly, it becomes a habit and is mistakenly thought to be the rule.
But thinking back, although they would briefly lose consciousness each time they entered a dungeon, most of them would begin with the fixed scene of "waking up at the desk." But in fact, the rules of the game never stated that entering the exam would necessarily be accompanied by this situation.
Isn't entering silently also a way of loading?
"But doesn't it say it will remind us five minutes in advance?"
Guo Guo also took a breath when he saw the exam interface.
“It’s a reminder indeed.”
Tang Xinjue clicked on the screen and a message popped up.
"It's just a silent reminder."
“…”
Yes, the rules of the game never said that all reminders are mechanical sounds coming from the air... At least in a literal sense, it complies with the regulations.
Fortunately, not much time was wasted. They silently gave the game the middle finger for the millionth time, and then immediately checked the exam details.
After unremitting efforts, you have finally been admitted to the university town and become happy college students. Today is your first day of school, but on this beautiful day, an unexpected event occurred...
【You discovered that your student ID card was lost! 】
Without a student ID, I can't [register successfully] or [be enrolled]. However, registration for new students ends before sunset, and if I miss it, I'll lose my chance to enroll! What should I do?
[Exam Tip: Perhaps asking the teacher at the registration office may provide new clues.]
The background information for the exam ends here. If you scroll down further, there is only one special tip:
【University Town Civility Code:】
1. University towns belong to students
2. Students belong to the future
3. Please do not litter.
"That's about all the information we have at the moment," Tang Xinjue quickly analyzed. "Sure enough, this dungeon's scope should be the university town. Our main quest for now is to find our student ID cards in the university town."
[Registration Teacher] seems to be a neutral NPC with a good , but in order to find it, they have to leave the dormitory first.
When you open the door of the dormitory, a brand new and spacious corridor comes into view.
Brilliant sunshine streamed into the corridor from the windows . Pots of flowers were placed on the windowsill. The fragrance of the flowers and the faint smell of disinfectant entered their noses together, instantly evoking their memories.
"I miss it so much..." Guo Guo sniffed, "I wish the university town was really like this."
Unfortunately, as early as when they changed communities, they had already seen the "appearance" of the university town from another perspective: countless malicious, brutal and painful souls were suppressed here by some force - if we talk about danger, no copy can be more dangerous than this one.
Without any relaxation, they left the corridor, walked down the stairs to the sixth floor, and walked out of the empty and quiet dormitory building door.
The entrance, remarkably similar to the real world, faced a lawn path. Passing through lush trees and bushes, one could reach the main road to the dormitory area. Red banners reading "Welcome New Students" hung on bulletin boards on both sides.
At the entrance to the dormitory area, they saw a huge, stern gray eyeball squeezed behind the small registration desk, squeezing its parasol into a hat.
——It seems that this is the teacher at the registration office.
Just as they were about to walk over, a strong wind suddenly hit them from behind. The four of them dodged to the sides, and a ball flew through them.
"Don't hit me, don't hit me!"
I saw the ball bouncing and screaming, and when I looked closely, it was clearly a round human head!
Behind the head, several figures of boys and girls chased up, shouting equally angrily: "Catch the thief! Catch him quickly——"
In a flash, Guo Guo felt her palm suddenly sink. The head unexpectedly returned to her hands without her noticing, and jumped directly into her hands. She burst into tears and said:
"Help me, I'm not a thief!"
Guo Guo:? !!
She was so frightened that her hands were shaking and she was about to throw it away, but she didn't expect the head to bounce off the ground and jump onto her shoulder, begging in her ear: "Please, as long as you can help me, I can give you a lot of rewards. No matter what you want, I can help you achieve it-"
At the same time, the pursuers also arrived in front of 606. They looked at the four of them suspiciously, and then said with understanding: "Candidates, right? Then hurry up and do your own tasks. Don't get involved in our affairs, otherwise it will be too late to regret it after you die."
606 The four of them looked at each other.
These ghosts directly pointed out their identities as candidates, which means that their current position is not "NPC", but the most original identity - ghost students in the university town.
There is no doubt that this time they have truly arrived at the ghost's "nest".
As soon as the ghost student threatened, the trembling head quickly retorted:
"I've been slandered! They lost something themselves and are now blaming me. They stole my body and limbs. If they catch my head too, I'll have no chance of proving my innocence. Woohoo... Can you help me get it to the teacher in the Academic Affairs Office? I can have them verify it!"
"You farted."
The leading girl interrupted him fiercely. She looked only fifteen or sixteen, but her voice was very rough and mature. She said fiercely, "Don't believe him. He's just trying to take advantage of the opportunity to escape. If you dare to let him go, I will take care of you, a bunch of ignorant rookie candidates, too."
[Ding! The side quest "Suspicious Theft" has been triggered. Do you accept it?]
When the system prompt sounded suddenly, the four of them knew that they could no longer ignore this trivial matter.
Tang Xin Jue said, "Why don't you worry for now? We don't know what you lost yet."
The pursuers' gazes all fell on her, and the natural coldness in their eyes was as tangible as a substance, and even the air temperature seemed to drop several degrees.
The leading girl looked at her coldly for a few seconds, then replied:
" He stole our lives."
6 06: "..."
It does sound much more serious than a student ID.
Then, through the brief narration of the pursuing students, they roughly understood the cause and effect of the incident:
It turned out that these students were all members of the same elective course. The course was nearing its end, and the graduation method was also very simple: as long as they were not dead, they would pass.
Of course, considering that the ghost students themselves are not truly "alive", Tang Xinjue and his party can only temporarily understand their "death" as complete annihilation or returning to the underground.
As for the method of determining whether a student in the course has died, it is even simpler: look at the battery level of the mobile phone at the end of the course.
If there is still some power left, the student is considered alive. On the contrary, once the power is zero, the student is declared dead.
"It was him who stole our electricity using illegal means."
The pursuers sneered, "Only by completely devouring him can we restore our power. Tell me, shouldn't we capture him?"
"I understand." Guo Guo nodded repeatedly. "If this happened to me, I would definitely only consider whether to steam it or braise it. But now the two sides have different opinions. Do you want to hear the defendant's appeal as well?"
"I don't!"
As soon as the words fell, the head screamed:
"I earned my electricity by doing odd jobs for teachers. Why do you say I stole your electricity? Don't believe them. They're the kind of people who don't study hard in class and eat up other students to pass the exam. I'm going to the Academic Affairs Office to seek justice!"
"quibble."
The girl ignored him and turned her attention to 606: "It seems that you are indeed stupid freshmen who have come to the university town for the first time. Remember one thing, don't think you can communicate with us on an equal footing. Of course, there will be no next time for you--"
As soon as the voice came out, the girl's figure flashed in front of Tang Xin Jue like a ghost. The palms of her hands instantly cracked open, revealing two huge mouths full of fangs, biting towards Tang Xin Jue from the left and right!
"That makes sense. But I have something to say as well."
There was no sound of horrible biting and chewing. An orange-red pole was placed across the two huge mouths at some point. Tang Xinjue slowly twisted his wrist, and as the toilet plunger turned, the two mouths had to rotate ninety degrees and aimed at the ghost itself.
"Don't eat too fast, or your teeth will break easily."
The toilet plunger turned vigorously, and the girl was kicked away amid the whimpering of two huge mouths. However, the first thing she saw when she landed was her anxious glance at her hands:
I saw that at least half of the densely packed fangs inside were broken!
The toilet plunger moved faster than she did. Before she could finish feeling the pain in her white teeth, another cold and dangerous touch enveloped her head:
"To be honest, these two have good mouths."
The rubber head was buckled on the ghost's head. A strong appetite came from the upgraded toilet plunger. Tang Xinjue clapped the handle:
"It will be ours in a moment."
Goblin: “…”
The ghost rolled his eyes. The teammates who were chasing him behind him had already been involved in a melee with the other three members of 606 without him knowing when - no, it was not quite accurate to say that they were involved in a melee. It should be said that they were being pressed to the ground and rubbed, literally being pressed to the ground by a steel fist that was even bigger than a locomotive.
"Wait!" The girl immediately said urgently: "Regarding the thief, I think we can discuss it again."
"Why," Tang Xinjue smiled, "are we now qualified to communicate on an equal footing?"
