Chapter 314: Chapter 314

"404, what an ominous number." Looking at his assigned dorm number, Du You felt a sense of déjà vu.

Even though it was a dormitory, the entire dorm area looked more like a high-end residential area. Unlike the dorms he had in mind, as soon as Du You opened the door, he was met with extraordinary luxury.

However, this dormitory was divided into four separate rooms, with a central hall and other common rooms in the middle. The most update n0vels are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

On the sofa in the hall was a... creature that could perhaps be considered a person.

How do I describe it? It appeared humanoid with limbs and wore clothing, but with a red head that looked like a boiled crab and no neck to speak of.

It might be that its neck was too thick to distinguish from its head. Its hairless head was adorned with black stripes, looking absolutely nothing like a normal human.

Upon hearing Du You entering the room, the humanoid creature turned its head.

It was only now Du You noticed that viewed from the front, it looked somewhat like a human, albeit a bit odd. At least, it wasn’t missing any eyes, nose, mouth... wait a second, where were its ears?

The creature’s revealed arm was equally red but displayed no mutations in terms of shape.

"Haha, a new classmate has arrived. Hello, you must be a student in Class 1 too, right? I am Baobao, the class leader of Class 1."

Wait, class leader? He just joined this school and there’s already a class leader? Furthermore, does this school even have something like classes? They don’t even seem to have classrooms.

Du You noted something; this so-called university didn’t seem quite like what he had imagined.

"Hello, I’m a freshman, Du You." Du You’s face held a strange expression.

Baobao scratched the back of his head: "I knew it, everyone reacts this way. Can’t help it, who would have guessed my name would be so strange? When I was young, I even suspected my mom named me after the bag she bought."

This wasn’t about your name, your appearance is just simply odd!

Du You didn’t outright express his thoughts, however. Offending someone right after arriving wouldn’t be wise.

"Wait a second, I remember now, you’re the top scorer on the college entrance exam, fifth in history, right? Finally getting to meet you in person is so exciting!" Suddenly, Baobao remembered Du You’s real identity

Alright, alright, I get it, you’re excited. There’re even steam coming off your head, and it’s literally steam.

"Um, calm down, don’t get too excited." This amount of steam, who knows if something might go wrong if it continues to blow off ? There are only two people in the room now, and if something happens to him, Du You would undoubtedly come under suspicion.

"Hahaha, no worries, no worries, I’m just overly excited."

"No big deal, it’s just that I had a good run during the college entrance exam, really, that’s all." Du You wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead.

"By the way, are you a human? You look so..." Du You hurriedly changed the subject.

Baobao did not seem bothered by his appearance at all: "Oh, you’re referring to this? Actually, I’m a Red-skinned People, you see, we Red-skinned people are just this handsome." The fellow thought of himself as rather attractive, it seemed.

Suddenly, Du You turned his head to look around and asked, "By the way, can two people live in our dorm? Or is it just the two of us?"

Baobao casually replied: "No, our dorm can house four people in total. Since we are still students, we should lead a simple life, even if we are professionals. You are the last to arrive."

Simple life? Did you misunderstand the meaning of the word? The decorations in this room are comparable to a presidential suite, no, it’s even more extravagant than a presidential suite. And you call this simple?

"What about the other two?" Du You asked.

"As for the two of them, one comes from a well-off family, the other is a local, neither of them stays in the dormitory. Initially, my mom didn’t want me to live in the dormitory either. But who am I? I’m a future hero; a mere dormitory is nothing."

Du You felt like his forehead was getting wrapped with a black band, it seemed like two of them were from completely different dimensions.

"By the way, I hope you’re not planning on moving out too. Staying is great. Just think about experiencing a life of hardship. People like you always think about enjoyment, unwilling to bear any hardships."

"I’m sure I’ve gone through more struggles than you have." Du You rebutted weakly.

"Alright, alright, if you want to move out, then move out. Don’t bother persuading me, I am definitely staying here. Oh, also, feel free to do whatever you want in Capital University, as long as you don’t break the rules. Also, if you want to graduate smoothly, you’d better complete more tasks and earn credits. Otherwise, even if you reach the third tier, you will not receive your degree."

That’s another condition, huh? Well, it doesn’t matter. After all, his goal was to use the school resources to enhance himself, and inevitably, he would need credits to access such resources.

Having had enough of this peculiar Red-skinned person, and considering others already had taken the initiative to leave, Du You didn’t fancy staying here either.

As for Imperial Capital, Du You learned a bit about its structure from his wristwatch. Inside the Tenth Ring of Imperial Capital lies the core area, where all property sales had ceased long ago, with very few even available for rent.

Within the Fiftieth Ring is classified as a high-end area, having Capital University located here is quite exceptional.

Within the hundredth ring can be regarded as Imperial Capital’s downtown area, boasting the best public security. Outward from the hundredth ring, unfortunate events are prone to occur, darkness exists everywhere, after all.

It’s only when you go beyond the three hundredth ring that you’re considered to have left Imperial Capital; this area is generally seen as the outskirts.

Of course, it’s only considered an outskirt area. The population density and various development aspects are still much better than the small city Du You originated from, although he’d heard that accidents and chaos often occur in these places.

The traffic situation in the Capital is excellent, primarily due to the prevalence of self-driving cars. Regardless of your destination, you’d get there by flying. It’s fast and avoids traffic congestion.

Due to the easy transportation, it’s not much different whether you live outside or inside the city, both seem convenient. Naturally, if your residence is closer to the inside, it would have a higher security level.

With so many secrets of his own, he could never live in a dormitory. Especially with such a weird creature in it, living in the dorm was out of the question for Du You. As for the class leader and such, Du You didn’t concern himself. He wasn’t even sure if there were actual classes, so being the class leader was probably just a title. Today, he’ll settle this issue, and visit the campus tomorrow.
