Jade plates hang on the treetops, and the cold moonlight coats the ground with a layer of silver frost.
Today is the first day of August. According to common sense, there should be no moon in the sky.
Zheng Qing kept staring at the round silver-white celestial body in mid-air, ignoring Nicholas's nagging in front of him.
Professor An handed over the three freshmen who had caused trouble to the newcomers for guidance and left in a hurry.
As soon as he turned around, Nicholas, who was still angry just now, softened his tone:
"This matter is actually not that serious. The worst it can do is just add another year to my freshman year. It's not a big deal."
Zheng Qing coughed twice and looked down at the elf who was still sleeping soundly in the cardboard box, still feeling a little depressed.
For an old student who is in his third year as a freshman, studying for two years as a freshman is really not a big deal.
But for a freshman who thinks he has upheld justice, this punishment is a bit heart-wrenching.
Nicholas comforted: "As early as a hundred years ago, Alpha was no longer a real Alpha. He was holding ridiculous arrogance and telling funny stories. You are the future of Jiuyou Academy. What you need now is a warm dormitory.
There is a comfortable big bed. Don’t think too much about anything else.”
Zheng Qing hugged the cardboard box and yawned loudly.
Why do I always have tears in my eyes? It's because I yawn too deeply.
He rubbed his eyes and sighed.
The long day seemed to finally come to an end.
As Nicholas mentioned, he really needs a big comfortable bed right now.
At the end of the pedestrian street, there is an iron gate with intricate patterns carved on it.
This gate must be very old.
The masonry at the foot of the door is covered with a thick layer of moss, and the wall covering on the door frame is mottled and peeling off, like a patient with vitiligo. Every time a student enters or exits, the arch will let out an uneasy sigh, followed by a cold breeze.
wind.
"This gate is a shortcut from Beta Town to the dormitories of the four colleges, but this passage is one-way. You can only go back to the dormitory through this door, but you cannot go directly from the dormitory to Beta Town."
Zheng Qing stood at the door and looked in. The campus was peaceful under the moonlight.
The green grass and green lake, the willows lingering in the air, students in twos and threes strolling leisurely, enjoying the calmness and ease under the moonlight.
The little animals in the Spiritual Animal Garden who didn't want to sleep were chasing and fighting on the grass, making rapid quarreling sounds from time to time.
Like a big park.
There is not a single dormitory building in sight.
"Here! Take out your ID cards."
Nicholas greeted and pointed to an iron door on the side of the arch next to him: "Behind the door is the dormitory corridor. After swiping your card, you will directly enter your dormitory. The dormitories for freshmen are randomly assigned. The school says this will help cultivate students.
The spirit of unity among the students.”
Zheng Qing hurriedly searched for the silver-white card from his robe.
"Of course, there are more doors to enter the dormitory building. As the book says, when you go to college here, you must have an eye that is good at discovery."
Zheng Qing walked over and looked at the side door curiously.
The iron door is gray-white and is almost integrated with the mottled wall, making it easy for people to ignore its existence.
In the center of the door, squatting in a foot-sized doorway, was a small blue-green beast as big as a palm, resting with its eyes narrowed.
This strange beast seems to be made of bronze, with its body covered with patina scars. It looks like a lion, but it has horns on its head and is covered in scales. At this moment, it is resting its head on its front paws, making a purring sound from its throat.
"The dormitory manager of First University, Mr. Ni Wu!" Nicholas pointed at the little cyan beast and introduced to the freshmen: "This is the first time we meet, let me say hello to Mr. Wu."
"Hello, Mr. Ni Wu." The freshmen responded sparsely, looking at the cyan beast with curiosity in their eyes.
The little beast raised his eyelids and glanced lazily at the newlyweds, without speaking.
Nicholas took out an ocher-yellow pill from his pocket and handed it to him with a smile.
When the strange beast saw it, it opened its eyes wide and a red light flashed in its eyes. It stood up happily and stretched out its long tongue to roll the pill into its mouth.
Then its whole body shook violently, and large plumes of thick smoke came out of its eyes, nose, and ears.
The smoke is thick in color but has no peculiar smell.
The little green beast opened its mouth wide, swallowed the rising smoke, and smacked its lips, looking like it was still unfinished.
Nicholas hurriedly handed over his ID card. The red light flashed in the little beast's eyes again. He nodded casually and patted the ball under his paws hard. The iron door immediately made a 'click' sound.
"Do you know how to get in?" Nicholas opened the iron door and looked at the freshmen: "Master Ni Wu is our dormitory manager. Thousands of people in the school live in the dormitory behind Master Wu. You just need to remember,
When you see Fifth Master, you can go back to your own dormitory."
"That yellow pill is made from waste materials from the pharmacy class. One copper can be exchanged for a large pack. It's not difficult. The only function is to produce a lot of waste smoke. Mr. Wu likes this kind of thing very much."
Nicholas stood at the door and urged: "Hurry up! Fifth Master's patience is limited!"
The newlyweds hurriedly squeezed through the narrow iron gate.
Zheng Qing held the cardboard box, careful not to be squeezed.
Behind the door is a silver-white corridor with many black handles on both sides.
"Normally, you can open your dormitory door directly by waving your card in front of Mr. Wu. But sometimes there are more people, like today, you have to trouble Mr. Wu to open more doors."
"Look at your number, find your dormitory door, just push the door open and go in." Nicholas had already pushed open a door, leaned out half of his body and shouted to a few confused freshmen: "Hurry up! Although
This channel can last for a long time, but Master Wu’s patience is limited, so be careful of being thrown out again."
Zheng Qing looked at the 403 number embedded in the yellowish door frame and compared it with the ID card in his hand.
Take a deep breath and push hard.
Pushing open the door, there is a small section of bare gray corridor in front of you.
Just as he was in a daze, a small silver-white door on the opposite wall was suddenly pushed open.
A familiar watermelon head just popped his head in.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then Xiao Xiao nodded and pushed the door open.
"Xiao Xiao?" Zheng Qing looked at him in disbelief, turned his head and leaned out to look to the side. A thin figure disappeared half of his body into the silver-white corridor behind him.
"A spell of space extension and resonance should be used here," Xiao Xiao pushed up his glasses, opened his black notebook in annoyance, and said, "First University has made quite a few technical changes in recent years.
Yes, when my father came here, it was not that troublesome to enter a dormitory."
"I'm just curious that you share a dormitory with me." Zheng Qing drooped his head and hummed weakly.
A small nameplate with the number 403 hangs on the wooden door at the end of the gray corridor.
When they opened the door, a breathless voice sounded in their ears:
"Ha...you...ha...are...the last two roommates...are you..."
