Chapter 284 University Town Civility Code (Part 4)
"That's so awkward!"
The ghost student's expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book. He said confidently, "We are all good classmates studying together in the university town. We should interact with each other in an equal and friendly manner. I see that you are full of energy and look very impressive. I guess you must have been here for a long time. So, I'll need your help with this theft."
Knowing the current situation seems to be a trait engraved in their DNA. Once they determine that they cannot win, they will slide to their knees on the spot without hesitation, and the cold and aggressive ghostly aura will disappear in an instant.
Against the backdrop of the dormitory area with birds singing, flowers blooming and sunshine shining, they are really no different from normal students.
[Ding! The side quest "The Suspicion of Theft" has been accepted. Please help the troubled students uncover the truth.]
There is a main quest waiting ahead, and a side quest coming up later. After 606 solved the attitude problem of the ghost students, he said to them directly:
"I can help you, but in exchange, you have to help us find something."
"—Lost your student ID?"
Before the registration office, Gray Eyeball's voice was so cold and intimidating as if it was a hammer that made people's ears hurt.
"If you can lose something so important, why don't you lose your own head too?"
“…”
The head of a person with only a head left shrank.
Tang Xin Jue asked, "Is there any place in the university town where it's easy to lose your student ID? If I really can't find my student ID, where can I go to get a replacement?"
"Hmph, there are so many places it's easy to lose it! Entertainment venues, sports fields... these freshmen are all more playful than the other. If you want to reissue it, I can't do it here. You'll have to go to the Academic Affairs Office and find the political education teacher."
Tang Xin Jue wrote down everything: "Excuse me, where is the Academic Affairs Office?"
"New students are trouble. Look in the direction I'm pointing. The Academic Affairs Office is on the top floor of the tallest building in the teaching area. You're lucky there aren't many people in the teaching area right now. Remember, don't greet your course teachers. Introduce yourself to teachers from the Academic Affairs Office. And run away when you see teachers from the Ministry of Education. Got it?"
"Also, classes don't start in the university town before dark. If you come across a classroom in progress, you don't have to leave the building ."
Guo Guo asked, "Then what should we do?"
But the gray eyeball rolled its eyes: "I mean, I want you to arrange your funeral as soon as possible, and then wait for death!"
606 wanted to continue asking, but the gray eyeball suddenly became furious for some reason. Its body jumped twice, and the ground suddenly shook. There was a tendency for the ground from the registration desk to the dormitory gate to collapse.
"Go away, leave the dormitory area, and get out of my sight! Don't come back to me if you don't have your student ID!"
Amidst a cloud of dust rising from the ground, the group exited the dormitory just in time. Behind them, a resounding collapse erupted. Turning back, even the Goblin students looked terrified—it seemed the Goblin's wrath wasn't limited to the students themselves.
When they walked to the open area, 606 found that the ghosts deliberately kept a distance from them. Even the human head from before would rather walk with the ghosts, looking cowardly and trying to avoid them.
After all, their previous actions were quite brutal, and everyone wanted to run away after seeing the heads.
"Ahem... walk straight ahead from the dormitory area and cross this small road to the entrance to the teaching area. On the left and right are roads leading to the outside of the university town and the commercial area, but there's a toll before dark."
The girl who had been leading the pursuers earlier began to act as a guide, kindly reminding them, "Of course, you can go out and play if you want. It's still early. Don't worry, we won't tell the teacher."
"Thank you for your advice, but we're going to the Academic Affairs Office next. I need you to split up into two groups and go to the entertainment center and the sports field to help us find our student ID cards. Once you find them, bring them back immediately."
Tang Xin Jue gave the task in a concise and clear manner.
The goblin students looked at each other and said, "But even if we find something, we can't contact you."
They shrugged. "Our phone numbers can't be converted into numbers, and they're not compatible with your candidates' phone systems. Oh, what can we do?"
Then the next second, they saw a large stack of old-fashioned mobile phones being taken out from the backpack of the girl with a low ponytail and glasses.
"With a phone like this, I can always contact you, right?"
The goblin fell silent.
Even if you raided the cell phone stores in the university town right now, you probably wouldn't find this many products. What on earth are these students doing? Are they just threatening, intimidating, and robbing the ghost students in the dungeon?
They exchanged contact information with 606 in silence and were about to leave when they were suddenly stopped by Tang Xinjue:
"Wait a moment."
Tang Xin Jue spoke in a gentle tone, but the six scrolls floating in his palms shone with an ominous silver light:
"Before we leave, let's sign a contract to ensure everyone returns safely."
After signing the contract, the ghosts didn’t know whether they were physically safe or not, but some of their secret thoughts were completely “safe”.
The group of ghost students visibly wilted and dispersed listlessly with no interest. But before they took two steps, they were stopped again:
"Oh right, wait a moment!"
...How can this be tolerated? Will it ever end?
One student's face quickly turned red, and he turned around angrily, just face to face with Zheng Wanqing who was standing with her arms folded.
Zheng Wanqing frowned: "What are you doing?"
"No, nothing, you guys tell me."
The ghost's attitude immediately softened, and Guo Guo poked his head out from behind Zheng Wanqing. "I didn't have time to ask the teacher just now, but now I want to ask you, what does a student ID card look like?"
In fact, during last night's TV program, Little Red Riding Hood had produced a bunch of student ID cards, but because of the screen and the camera being very far away, they couldn't see them clearly.
"Oh, it looks like this." The students took out palm-sized cards one after another. A few names were simply engraved on the black card surface. The light-colored lines on the card surface could be faintly seen under the light.
Seeing this, Guo Guo suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Wait!"
She dug into her pocket and pulled out another white card with a lanyard.
"Why do I feel... a bit similar to this?"
Not just similar, they are exactly the same.
Whether in terms of size or the faint patterns on them, apart from the different colors of the card faces and the fact that Guo Guo's card is blank, there is absolutely no difference between the two cards.
With some previous experience with admission tickets, Guo Guo subconsciously asked, "Could it be possible to fill in your own name on your student ID card?"
The ghost student immediately retorted: "You must be joking. A student ID is so important, how can you just write something casually and have it count..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Xinjue took out a golden pen that had a smell that scared ghosts, and wrote Guo Guo's name on the white card.
The next moment, brilliant golden light burst out from the card surface, and a golden student ID card suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
…
In the silence, Guo Guo said softly, "Tell me, if I go find the stick figures now and ask them to give me a few more cards, is it possible to complete the task directly?"
