Chapter 53 Crazy Wednesday (Part 2)
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
People on both sides blurted out the words at the same time, and the surprise on their faces turned into astonishment.
Looking up, the four girls coming out from the next room were all unfamiliar faces, and their faces were very alert. One of them even immediately pulled out the mop handle hidden behind her back and pointed it at Tang Xinjue and the other three in a defensive posture.
Guo Guo immediately took two steps back in fright, and supported her back with one hand in time, and patted her shoulder comfortingly - it was Tang Xinjue.
After gathering his roommate, Tang Xinjue took a step forward and said calmly, "We are students from Shanhe A University."
The other party was stunned for a moment, and the tall and thin girl in the front also responded: "I am from Taipei Normal University... My name is Liang Jing."
The person opposite introduced himself .
Taipei City? National Taiwan Normal University?
There was a moment of confusion in Dormitory 606.
Geographically speaking, the two schools were at least a thousand kilometers apart. How could they suddenly appear next door?
Tang Xin Jue observed the person in front of him. His speech was clear and logical, without any coldness or oppression. He didn't look like a ghost or an NPC - more like a college student like them.
She pointed to the dormitory behind her, nodded and added, "We are in Building 13, Room 606, Hanoi Street Dormitory Area."
The tall and thin girl who called herself Liang Jing immediately replied, "We are in Building 27, Dormitory 608, Xueyuan Street Living Area."
Well, now apart from the dormitory numbers, everything else can be said to have nothing to do with each other.
Moreover, if the dormitory in front of them was real...then where were their adjacent dormitories now?
Across from her, the girl holding the mop pole couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "Um, are you also students who were dragged into the game?"
Before the four of them could answer, Tang Xinjue suddenly noticed something and turned his gaze to the balcony, while quickly reminding: "Be careful of the fog, there is something."
Deep in the white fog, the red countdown has returned to zero, and a faint music is falling from the sky.
No, it wasn't just the music that fell.
"careful!"
Tang Xinjue pulled Guo Guo over, and Zhang You also pulled the disabled Zheng Wanqing away quickly.
A black square cardboard box fell into the fence, staggered and turned over, and inflated itself as if it were inflated - and then, in full view of everyone, it exploded with a bang!
The black juice spilled over an area of nearly one square meter, emitting a pungent stench.
Upon seeing this, several people in the neighboring dormitory exclaimed and quickly huddled back into the house. Immediately, only Tang Xinjue and three others were left on the balcony.
At this moment, the phone vibrated and a new message popped up:
[Ding Dong, the gift-dropping event has officially begun!]
"???"
Several people looked at the black unknown liquid on the ground in silence.
You call this a gift?
“Unscrupulous businessmen!”
Guo Guo spat in anger.
At this moment, another black gift box fell from above at a high speed. Fortunately, the physical fitness of several people has improved a lot, and they easily dodged it with some precautions.
This time the gift box hit the balcony tiles and did not explode like the previous one. Instead, it collapsed into a flat piece like a deflated ball.
A green unknown substance overflowed from it, accompanied by a strong and pungent smell of rubber.
"What on earth does the game mall want to do?" Zhang You frowned.
They said there were promotions and gifts, but now it looks like they are throwing away expired and scrapped goods. Are the student dormitories as a garbage dump?
[Gifts from the sky: Countless gifts fall from the sky, can you catch the one you want?]
Tang Xinjue read the introduction of the activity, then looked up at the white fog that enveloped his vision. After thinking for a moment, he pulled out the toilet plunger and asked others to take out all the basins in the dormitory.
"Why are you holding the basin? We're not really going to catch it, are we..." Guo Guo muttered as he came out. When he looked up, he saw another box smashing towards Tang Xinjue's head: "Jie Shen, be careful!"
However, Tang Xinjue did not dodge. Instead, he raised his hand and quickly hooked the toilet plunger upwards, and the gift box was steadily placed in the rubber head.
There was no bursting or leakage, and the small and exquisite red gift box exuded a soft halo.
The box was opened, and a rose gold card appeared inside: [Use this card to enjoy a 12% discount on a single item.]
Everyone was cheered up.
This is a real gift!
Just as he put the red gift box into the dormitory, new falling objects appeared in his field of vision. After noticing that the box was emitting an ominous black aura, Tang Xinjue did not hesitate to deflect it. Before the black box could explode, it was submerged in the white mist again.
After a few rounds, everyone finally understood the rules of "Gifts from Heaven".
In this part, gift boxes will randomly drop from the white mist above everyone's heads. If it is a black gift box, it means it is a "fake gift", which means it contains rotten things or dangerous substances, and you need to dodge or knock it away quickly.
But if it is a gift box of other colors, it represents a "real gift" and you can safely receive it and claim the reward.
As time goes by, the speed and number of gift boxes falling are increasing, and they are a mixture of good and bad, which is an extreme test of their dynamic vision and reaction ability.
The people in the next dormitory gradually understood the rules, and they mustered up the courage to come out with basins, trying to imitate Tang Xinjue and others to receive the gift boxes.
However, after a few moments, the falling gift boxes were almost like dense hail - the girl in the next dormitory holding a mop accidentally punctured a fake gift box, and the fishy green liquid spilled all over her body, and the smell of rotten eggs immediately spread.
"vomit!"
Guo Guo was also unlucky and won the lottery, almost suffocating himself to the ground, and he began to feel tingling and burning wherever his skin was touched.
"Go back to the house." Tang Xinjue made a decisive decision.
When I returned to the dormitory and closed the balcony window, the crackling sound of gift boxes and the exploding black shells almost dyed the entire window black.
Guo Guo hurriedly found a shower head to wash his body. Tang Xinjue and the other two also suffered some minor injuries and rested while catching their breath.
But compared to the injuries, the seven or eight gift boxes of different colors piled on the ground attracted their attention more.
The gift boxes were opened one by one, and the rewards inside were varied: 88 discount cards, a chance to win a lottery, 1 student point, a snack gift pack...
The rewards are small, but they are very rich when accumulated!
Zhang You burst out with unprecedented motivation. While quickly organizing and storing the prizes, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, and he rarely dreamed: "It would be great if there were activities every day."
For supplies, she is willing to take the risk of recycling!
After a while, the rain stopped outside, but the balcony was already in a horrible state.
A new countdown appeared in the depths of the white fog.
Tang Xin Jue read out the introduction of the next stage: "The next stage is [Door-to-Door Discounts] - Each dormitory will have an exclusive salesperson. If you communicate with him, you will have a chance to win a super prize!"
So the next step is door-to-door sales?
Compared with the previous part, this part is obviously more exciting. The four words "super prize" arouse people's nerves.
The four of them simply cleaned up and were about to discuss the next step when there was a cautious knock on the balcony window.
The tall and thin girl Liang Jing apologized, "I'm very sorry to bother you. Do you have any anti-inflammatory ointment or bandages? My roommate Xu Wei was seriously injured by the things in the black box, but we have run out of medicine in our dormitory. If it's convenient... can you lend me some?"
Despite choosing her words carefully, Liang Jing still looked very embarrassed and did not hold out much hope.
The four of them exchanged glances, and Zhang You took out a bandage and burn ointment from the medical box. "Remember to rinse the wound with cold water first."
Guo Guo nodded and stretched out his arm: "It should be almost the same if I bandage it like this, although I am not very good at it."
Liang Jing was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, thank you!"
Nodding heavily to the four people, she hurried back to apply medicine to her roommate.
As the first "kind" person they had met since entering the game, both parties wanted to communicate, but due to the current rush, they had no time to say more. In a blink of an eye, the countdown in the mist had ended again:
[ Ding Dong, the discount is here and officially starts!]
Several people immediately tensed up and waited, listening carefully to any movement outside.
When a salesman comes to your door, does he walk in from the corridor or does he drop from the balcony like a gift?
One minute, two minutes...
They waited quietly for five minutes but still heard no sound.
Another five minutes passed, and still nothing changed.
“This session is limited to 30 minutes.”
Tang Xin Jue stood up, frowned and looked around, "If the salesman really wants to come, it shouldn't be too late."
And since the rules state that "each dormitory will have an exclusive salesperson", there will be no situation where any dormitory is missed.
But why hasn’t he come yet?
There were footsteps on the balcony, but it was not the salesman, but Liang Jing who came to return the medicine.
"A salesman? No one knocked on our dormitory door either."
Liang Jing sighed, obviously still without hope: "These benefits, the game will definitely not let us get them easily, who knows what difficulties it has set up, maybe there is no salesman at all."
From her tone, everyone seemed to hear a sense of helplessness caused by the game.
"you're right."
Tang Xinjue nodded suddenly, "We are stuck in a habitual way of thinking."
“The event description only said that a salesman would [appear] in each dormitory, but it did not say what image or form it would appear in, let alone what prompts would be given when it appeared.”
"What if it has actually appeared in our dormitory, but we haven't discovered it yet?"
