Chapter 7 School for the Blind

It was class time and there was not a single person to be seen on campus.

The hall of the student activity center was lifeless. There was not a hint of the lively atmosphere of a school. Instead, it smelled damp and musty. The dim lighting made the fungi spreading in the corners look particularly terrifying.

When Xu Zhiyan and Jin Sheng arrived, the other players had already left.

In the empty hall, there was a vague black shadow sitting behind each service window.

There was a banner on the wall opposite the window. It was mottled and you could vaguely see the words on it, but it was impossible to make out the entire sentence.

[▇Come into the world,▇▇because of my own▇▇evil▇]

[▇Light▇▇Darkness]

Xu Zhiyan only took a glance, then looked away and turned to the other side.

"Collecting school uniforms, applying for school cards, dormitory check-in procedures..." He whispered the faded red words on the window.

The activity center is adjacent to the library building, and there is a small door in the corner of the hall leading to the library.

The two first came to the school card application window.

Although the distance was very close, it was still dark and unclear behind the window, but scratches on the thick glass could be seen.

Those were not marks left by long-term use, but rather lines of varying depths, more like the death line that a dying person trapped inside had grasped in despair.

Xu Zhiyan lowered his eyes and followed the instructions to stuff the note and application form through the window.

After a while, a withered black hand stretched out from inside, with burnt flesh wrapped around the shriveled fingertips, holding a student ID card, which gave off an indescribable sense of weirdness.

Then the hand seemed to sense something and quickly retracted, replaced by an ordinary person's hand.

"Please take your student ID card. If you lose it, you need to come here to report it." A hoarse voice came from the window, as if an old bellows was speaking from behind.

"Thanks."

Xu Zhiyan took the certificate as if nothing had happened.

【Get new items! 】

【Name: Student ID (Class 10)】

[Note: Players can enter and exit various places on campus with this certificate. ]

Then there are school uniforms, textbooks, meal cards...

Finally, he and Jinsheng came to the dormitory check-in window.

The gravel-like voice of the person in charge came from the glass window.

"Please show me your student ID and I will check you in."

“Most dormitories on campus sleep 16 people.”

Different from other windows.

The person in charge inside stretched out his hand and waited for the player to put his student ID on it.

Most of them are 16-person dormitories? Does that mean there are dormitories with other people?

Xu Zhiyan glanced at the other windows, thought for a moment, and instead of taking out his student ID, he took out fifty yuan from his pocket and put it on the windows while asking.

"Are there any other dormitories besides the 16-person dormitory?"

The night in the dungeon is always dangerous.

So it becomes particularly important who you share a dormitory with.

He now has a total of 1,280 pieces on him, so he can make more attempts within the range of low consumption.

What's more, in the initial assumption, pocket money should be able to recharge meal cards, but the meal cards for transfer students are issued uniformly and do not require additional recharge, so the scope of the use of pocket money is questionable.

The result was just as Xu Zhiyan expected.

Jiao Pi held the money in his hand, hesitated for a few seconds, and then replied, "There are a small number of 12-person dormitories."

"Great, it looks like there are other dormitories."

Xu Zhiyan narrowed his eyes, put another fifty yuan into the other person's hand, and said, "Is there a dormitory for 8 people?"

"have."

This time, Ku Shou took back the 100 yuan without hesitation. When he stretched out his hand again, there was a key in his palm. On the key ring was a worn plastic tag with the dormitory number written on it.

But Xu Zhiyan didn't even look at it and added another fifty.

"Are there dormitories for 4 people?"

"No, there are only 8 people sleeping..."

With the increase of another fifty yuan, the voice behind the glass window became noticeably dulled and immediately changed its tone.

"Yes, there is a dormitory for 4 people."

He grabbed the money and keys with his withered hands and tried to take them back, but Xu Zhiyan grabbed his wrist.

He approached the window, almost sticking his whole body to the glass, and asked in a low voice: "I want a single bed, is that okay?"

A dormitory for 16 people is free, a dormitory for 12 people costs fifty, a dormitory for 8 people costs one hundred, a dormitory for 4 people costs two hundred... and so on. A single dormitory costs about eight hundred.

He put more money into his withered palm.

The money, smelling of ink, made the burnt skin look even darker.

However, this time the person in charge did not agree, but instead stretched out a second hand from inside.

On the other white palm lay a golden key.

“There really are no single rooms.”

“The 2-person dormitory is the best dormitory in the whole school.”

He threw the golden key on the counter, and with his white hand he counted out the extra four hundred dollars from the black hand and put them down together.

"Show me your student ID so I can register you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyan loosened his grip, took back the extra money and keys, and obediently handed over his student ID.

It seems that a double dormitory is the best dormitory.

Tsk, enough money can’t change the rules?

I don’t know if it’s a good deal to spend 400 yuan on a double bed.

Because a hidden operation was performed, the live broadcast room was filled with barrages of comments.

[Fuck? So this is how you use your pocket money? ]

[A small millionaire with a lot of money, so tough! ]

[Is the Bangying upstairs the one I thought it was? ]

[Damn, money makes the world go round. It turns out the ghosts in the game also care about money! ]

[Double bed? I guess you're just wasting your money, right?]

[I don’t know. Let’s wait and see.]

[I don't think so. Hidden transactions in dungeons are generally profitable, but there are rare cases where special side quests are opened.]

Soon, Jinsheng's dormitory registration was also completed.

Unlike Xu Zhiyan, who was rich, he chose an 8-person dormitory for the sake of safety.

Everything was done and it was already noon.

Without special communication props in the game, players cannot communicate over long distances. After the two of them had a quick lunch in the cafeteria, they agreed to meet at the cafeteria entrance in the evening.

Before leaving the cafeteria, Xu Zhiyan suddenly called Jin Sheng, took him to the drinks store, and bought two cups of Coke.

"It's my treat." He handed over one of the cups with a gentle smile on his face.

Jin Sheng looked at the smile and shuddered subconsciously.

Although they have not known each other for long, every time Xu Zhiyan laughs, someone will be in trouble!

But there were no other players in the cafeteria, not even a few NPCs.

He took it hesitantly, confused, and drank half of the cup in one breath.

Transfer students cannot use their meal cards to buy anything other than meals in the cafeteria.

Is it appropriate to spend your pocket money on a cup of Coke?

Jin Sheng burped over the doubts mixed with the Coke. He wanted to ask but didn't dare to speak out. Although the teammate in front of him looked weak and powerless, he would not show any mercy when it came to taking action. He would take the knife when he was told to.

Finally, after finishing the Coke, Jin Sheng realized something was wrong.

His teammate was standing with his arms folded and holding a Coke, right next to the paid physical examination machine on campus. The old equipment had a tall measuring scale from 0cm to 200cm.

His good eyesight allowed him to see the scale clearly at a glance.

177cm!

Ok! Found the problem!

So she was angry because someone called her short before?!

Although 177cm is indeed not tall for Jin Sheng, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, his strong desire to survive made him dare not say what he was thinking. Instead, he nervously talked about irrelevant topics.

"Yao Xianxian is indeed too tall. Her frame is taller than that of an average man."

After listening to this, Xu Zhiyan's smile faded a little and he nodded in agreement.

She is 1.8 meters tall and pretends to be a soft girl? Is there something wrong with Yao Xianxian? Why does she shrink around others but stand up straight when she is next to him?

"It's indeed a poor disguise. Go back and rest. We'll meet up in the evening."

"……good."

Jin Sheng heaved a sigh of relief, not daring to refute that except for her height, Yao Xianxian's disguise was perfect in every other aspect.

He left the cafeteria in a panic, feeling as if he had saved his life!

Half an hour later.

Dormitory Building No. 12, Building A, Room 603.

Xu Zhiyan found the dormitory carrying his school uniform.

According to the map, the dormitories of the entire Shiming Middle School are divided into two areas, the East Dormitory and the West Dormitory.

The men's dormitory is in the east area, close to the east gate.

It was class time and there was no student on the road. The dormitory manager let him go after checking his student ID.

"Sixth floor..." Looking at the endless staircase, Xu Zhiyan felt despair for the first time in the dungeon, but the situation was such that he could only go upstairs cursing.

A clever brain can't reduce the toll of climbing stairs.

By the time he reached the sixth floor, Xu Zhiyan's forehead was already covered with fine sweat, his hands and feet were weak, and his pale cheeks were tinged with a sickly blush.

There were no lights on in the corridor during the day, only a little light came in from the windows at both ends.

All the dormitories had their doors tightly closed, and the glass on the doors looked like pieces of thick ink, hiding something.

It was empty and lonely, and even the footsteps echoed.

However, Xu Zhiyan was not affected by this gloomy scene.

He couldn't wait to know what benefits a double room cost him for 400 yuan.

It would be even better if you could give some free supplies!

“Click—”

As the door lock of Room 603 made a slight sound, he suddenly felt as if there were countless more eyes staring at him from behind.

Probably understanding the style of the game, Xu Zhiyan no longer expected his 'neighbor' to be a human.

I just hope my roommate isn't too difficult.

He prepared himself mentally, took out his bone-chopping knife, and pushed open the unusually heavy door of the dormitory...

Silence, silence.

The imagined horrific scene did not exist. There was no one in the dormitory and my roommate seemed to have gone out.

In the empty dormitory, there was a bed on each side, two desks were placed close together in the middle of the room, and there were also duplicates of wardrobes, stools and other miscellaneous items.

Xu Zhiyan put away his weapon and threw his school uniform on the bed.

Before he sat down, he looked around again, his body stiffened, and he muttered to himself: "I forgot to get something, I have to go out."

As he said this, he walked towards the door.

If the lights were on at this moment, you could see that the hair on his arms stood up.

I didn't notice anything unusual when I entered the room, but after I sat down and looked up, I could see a dense mass of fingers on the side of the wide-open door...

No wonder the dormitory door is so heavy.

It turned out that his new roommate was behind the door!
