Chapter 25: Club Recruitment (Part 2)
A girl asked weakly: "I am from the Oil Painting Club. Can I just fill in the Oil Painting Club?"
Ye Sui was reading the rules carefully. Hearing this, he pointed out, "The second rule says 'Every club must have a president.' This probably doesn't refer to the president of a club in reality, so we may not be able to fill in the form according to the real situation."
Jiang Shuyue agreed: "It is also written in Article 5 that the key to the club activity classroom must be managed by the club president. This means that the clubs we have filled out now must have a president on site."
How many of the people present are presidents? Most of them are just ordinary members in real life.
So this is almost equivalent to asking them to re-establish the club on the spot. This is what Mu Yu meant by "grouping".
The skinny senior from the basketball club pondered, "...Only if I become the club president can I keep the classroom key?"
It's obvious that only the person with the key can open the door of the activity room. Although there is no need for them to harm each other, it is always more reassuring to hold the key in their own hands.
If you have to wait for others to open the door for you all the time, you would feel insecure, right?
The sturdy senior from the basketball club immediately said, "Why don't we all form our own club and get our own key? After all, the rules state that there is no limit to the number of clubs that can be formed!"
Someone immediately questioned, "But if we form a group with only one person, then we have to go to the club presentation alone, right? Who in the club office can come and review us now? It must be a monster! Who is willing to go to a place like that alone?!"
The strong senior student froze immediately, and the others also shuddered after hearing this.
Fu Xiaoju swallowed and asked Ye Sui: "You, you just came down from upstairs, didn't you see anything strange upstairs?"
Ye Sui said, "No, I just went to return two whiteboard pens and left right after returning them. I just know that there is no one in their office right now. As for whether there are any strange things, if there are any, they should have appeared after I came down."
Everyone was discouraged, but think about it, it made sense, the strange things would definitely appear after the copy landed, what could we see before that?
Bird brother hesitantly asked Muyu and the others: "What exactly will that club display be?"
Mu Yu shook his head: "I don't know either."
Although he, Jiang Shuyue and Lu Chongnian had experienced the last copy and were considered veterans, the settings of each copy were different, and they didn't know what kind of levels would appear next in this copy.
The only thing that can be thought of is that they may be able to obtain some key clues after presenting it to the community.
Mu Yu said to the others, "I suggest that we first divide into groups according to the full configuration."
"Each club must have a president and a maximum of two members - so try to divide them into groups of three. We have a total of thirteen people now, so we will divide them into five groups, according to 3+3+3+2+2."
Although the two groups of two will appear to be a little weaker, this is limited by the number of people. There is no other way, it is better than 3+3+3+3+1.
Everyone nodded vigorously, with no objection.
A boy asked awkwardly, "Um, do you three have experience? Could you please split into three different groups... just to guide us."
Everyone's attention immediately focused on Mu Yu, Jiang Shuyue, and Lu Chongnian.
Fu Xiaoju's expression was a little complicated.
Mu Yu exchanged glances with Jiang Shuyue and Lu Zhongnian, and nodded as a representative: "Of course."
They also wouldn't gather together as an elderly group at a time like this.
The most important thing is to work together with everyone and try to ensure that everyone leaves the dungeon alive.
With Mu Yu and the others' assurances, the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Then it’s time to officially form the groups.
Jiang Shuyue said: "The types of activities corresponding to the club we are going to set up now may affect the later levels, so you'd better choose some areas that you are good at as the content of the club activities."
Only by choosing what you are good at can you save your life at the critical moment.
Bird brother asked tentatively: "How about you three come up with three clubs first?"
Mu Yu refused: "What we three are good at may not be what you are good at. This time, we will give priority to what you are good at, and we will cooperate with you."
Mu Yu and the others had said so, so no one wasted any more time.
A short, round and cute boy said, "Well, my name is Qi Shan, and I'm the president of the Small Animal Protection Association in real life. I can set up a small animal protection club and form a two-person group."
Another boy said, "My name is Wang Haiyang, I'm a sophomore, I can start a literary club, or I can form a two-person group."
Another boy mustered up the courage to say, "I'm good at handicrafts, we can start a handicraft club, or we can form a group of two."
All of a sudden, three people were willing to step forward and take up the spots in the two-person group, which made things a lot easier.
Bird hesitated and said, "I'm the president of the cosplay club. I can continue to cosplay. Is there anyone willing to join me?"
There are four clubs now, and only the last one is left.
The tall and strong senior from the basketball club had a changing expression for a long time. At this moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "I want to set up a basketball club, and I will be the president - you two can still come with me, and we will be a team of three!"
The second half of the sentence was directed at Fu Xiaoju and the thin boy.
Fu Xiaoju was shocked: "Ah? But the three of us have no experience..."
The thin senior also had a subtle look on his face.
Senior Zhuang looked at Mu Yu and the others sinisterly, and spoke in a loud voice, as if he was speaking deliberately for them to hear:
"So what if we have experience? Aren't you afraid that the old players will test the rules on us? According to them, there may be fakes in the rules, and we newcomers can't see it because we have no experience. They are much more experienced than us. Do you trust them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Jiang Shuyue was a little unhappy, but Mu Yu and Lu Zhongnian were very calm.
This senior had been hostile to them from the very beginning. Maybe he simply disliked them, or maybe he transferred his fear of the copy and vented his anger on them. No matter what, they couldn't do anything about it.
Fu Xiaoju struggled a little.
Although he hated Mu Yu, he also knew that Mu Yu was not the kind of person who would cheat others. His dislike for Mu Yu was purely out of some personal grudges...
And there was that guy called Lu Zhongnian. For some reason, Fu Xiaoju just wanted to go over and hug him...
The senior saw his reluctance and immediately glared at him: "Do you still want to join our basketball club? And you are quite smart, do you really have to rely on them?"
This sentence hit Fu Xiaoju's sore spot.
Mu Yu said to him calmly at this time: "Fu Xiaoju, think carefully before making a decision."
Senior Zhuang: "Fu Xiaoju, don't you dislike him? You don't have to cling to the thigh of someone you dislike just to save your life!"
Mu Yu and Lu Zhongnian looked at the man at the same time. The man was frightened and took a step back, saying, "What are you looking at?!"
Fu Xiaoju struggled back and forth, his face turning red and green, but in the end his pride prevailed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay... okay! Then let's do as you say, senior!"
On the other end, Jiang Shuyue whispered to Mu Yu, "You really don't care about your old classmate?"
Mu Yu lowered his head and said, "How many people can we control?"
Mu Yu was the class monitor not only in high school, he was also the class monitor in junior high school and elementary school. His many years of experience as a class monitor told him that a class monitor is not like a nanny and cannot control everyone.
They can only remind and help, but how to go on depends on each person's own choice.
What's more, the squad leader is not a god. Does that mean everything he does is right?
Does it mean that Fu Xiaoju will be safe if he works with him?
Mu Yu wouldn't think so highly of himself.
He just wanted to remind Fu Xiaoju, just hoping that Fu Xiaoju would not act impulsively, but Fu Xiaoju had already made his choice, so what else could he say.
The grouping after that was very quick.
There were two sophomores present, one joined Bird Brother’s cosplay club, and the other joined the small animal protection club.
Ye Sui said to Mu Yu: "I'm going to the small animal protection club."
Mu Yu was stunned.
If Ye Sui joins the small animal protection club, then the club will be full with three members.
But he soon realized that no matter whether they were in a two-person or three-person group, it was impossible for the two of them to be assigned to the same group, so he was silent for a moment and reminded: "If you have any questions, please tell me at any time."
"I know, don't worry." Ye Sui remained calm. "Didn't you guys get through the last instance this way? Don't worry about me."
Jiang Shuyue chose to join the literary club.
Mu Yu looked at Lu Zhongnian—from just now on, the atmosphere between the two of them became subtle again.
Lu Zhongnian looked at him and said to him, "I'm going to the handicraft club."
Mu Yu pursed her lips and nodded.
As the last person who needed to make a choice, he actually didn't have much choice. He directly joined Bird Brother's cosplay club - if he went to the literature club or the handicraft club, it would be a waste of resources, as the three old men had agreed to act in groups.
After the five groups were finished, everyone immediately took the time to fill out the forms.
Thirteen people, each with a piece of paper and a pen, bent over the table to write. For a moment, the whole place was filled with the sound of rustling papers.
The first row of the table is: name, age, gender, major.
Fu Xiaoju was terrified. It wasn't a strange question, but he was just very nervous.
He accidentally made a mistake in writing a word. Just as he drew a slash, Lu Zhongnian, who was sitting across from him, reminded him without even looking up: "Rule 3: Once you have completed the application form, please do not easily change it."
Fu Xiaoju was startled and quickly put down his pen, but he felt a sharp pain in his stomach.
He lifted up his clothes and saw a long, thin blood mark on his stomach!
The bloodstain ran from under his right ribs all the way to his left hip, and the angle of the diagonal line he had drawn was almost exactly the same. Fortunately, it only scratched his skin slightly, and a little blood oozed out, but it didn't cause any damage to his skin.
But the others still looked pale.
The rules are so sensitive?! They didn't even fill out the entire form, and they can't change even if they made a mistake in writing one word?
The two seniors from the basketball club next to Fu Xiaoju swallowed and their expressions became even stiffer.
Mu Yu frowned and said, "Don't worry if you make a typo. Everyone, be careful and don't rush."
The group nodded in a cold sweat.
Mu Yu pursed her lips and lowered her head to scan the entire form again.
The second line of the form is: whether to establish a new club (select "no" to skip the next four questions)
Bird brother beside him whispered to him: "How about you become the president?"
The sophomore student who joined in also nodded vigorously.
Mu Yu shook his head and said, "You guys should come. Having the key in hand is always a guarantee."
Bird brother and senior sister looked at each other, and the senior sister raised her hand to let him take the position, and said with a faint smile: "Then you should come, I can't be the president."
The third row of the table contains the name of the club, and the fourth row is a bit special, it is an item called "Club Type".
Qi Shan, president of the Small Animal Protection Society, said: "This project does exist in reality, but we did not choose it ourselves. It was directly allocated to us by the Society Federation."
Bird Brother: "Yes, if we can choose now, then we can choose whatever we want, right?"
There are five types of clubs, namely: life interests, culture, entertainment and sports, social practice, professional learning, and scientific and technological innovation.
Lu Zhongnian lowered his eyes and said, "There are five types of clubs. The thirteen players should be divided into at least five clubs."
He raised his head and looked toward the second floor.
There are five classrooms lined up in a corridor on one side of the second floor. At this moment, all five classrooms have their doors closed and have no windows.
The rest of the corridor is empty, with photos of student activities and some winning photos of competitions hanging on the walls.
Lu Zhongnian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It seems to be five portable classrooms."
Five, five, five, one to one correspondence, is this a coincidence?
Ye Sui followed his train of thought and said, "Does this mean that we should claim these five types of societies one by one, without any duplication?"
Senior Zhuang from the basketball club was suspicious: "Why? Why do we have to follow the idea of a copy?"
Jiang Shuyue was about to get angry: "Because no matter how hard you try, you can't change the will of the copy. You have to find the copy's thinking and follow it to solve the copy as quickly as possible. The worst thing is that you don't even know what the copy wants you to do!"
The senior wanted to question more, but Fu Xiaoju pulled him back with cold sweat.
Bird said: "Our cosplay club is a life interest club in real life, and your small animal protection club is a social practice club, right?"
Qi Shan nodded calmly.
"Then our literature club should be considered as a professional learning club?" said Wang Haiyang, president of the literature club. "Your handicraft club should be considered as a technological innovation club?"
The basketball club is an entertainment and sports club.
After everyone has divided the items, immediately tick the category to which they belong.
The next line below the table is: Club goals.
No one has ever seen this thing in real life.
It is true that everyone sets up a club to organize activities and do things, but who can set specific goals for the club? Not every club can participate in competitions and win awards.
Wang Haiyang thought for a while and took the lead in trying to write down the goal of the literature club: study hard and make progress every day.
The next second——
Jiang Shuyue was stunned: "The words disappeared?!"
The moment Wang Haiyang wrote the period, the line of words dissolved and disappeared instantly like ink dropped into water.
Wang Haiyang scratched his cheek awkwardly. In fact, he also felt that the goal of this club was a bit unreliable, and it turned out to be unsuccessful.
"The table does not agree with the club's goal," Mu Yu said, "Try another one."
Wang Haiyang wrote again: Read a book every day.
The written words disappeared again.
Ye Sui frowned and said, "It should be more specific, something that can be achieved within the time limit of the dungeon."
Wang Haiyang then wrote: Finish reading a book in three hours.
The font still disappears.
Mu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we need to write a task goal that allows people to clearly judge the degree of completion. If you finish reading a book within three hours, it is actually difficult to judge whether you have read it or not and how carefully you have read it. Maybe you just flipped through the whole book casually, and no one would know."
Wang Haiyang didn't know how to fill it out, so Jiang Shuyue suggested: "Try writing: Reciting a poem can make people feel the same way and feel as if they are there."
Mu Yu originally wanted to say that this goal was a bit vague, but Wang Haiyang wrote it down, and this time, the font did not disappear!
Mu Yu suddenly fell into deep thought.
Could it be that the mission goal can be clearly judged that the completion degree is not the most important thing, and the most important thing is what kind of community goal the copy wants...?
But what is the basis for its judgment?
It's impossible to use such a positive standard as whether this goal can help players improve themselves.
Now that everyone had a direction, they started discussing and began to try.
It took Bird Brother two tries before he successfully wrote down the goals of their cosplay club.
That is: using existing props to cosplay classic animation characters, striving to allow the audience to recognize which work it is at a glance, and gain their recognition and love.
The goal of the craft club: to make a toy airplane using existing props.
The basketball club and the small animal protection club are a bit difficult.
The strong senior from the basketball club wrote at the beginning that “everyone can make three consecutive successful shots”.
The goal was very specific, and the criteria for judging task completion were clear, but perhaps because it was too simple, the form did not recognize the club’s goal.
He tried several times, changing it to "three people dribbling the ball a thousand times in three hours" and "each person making three consecutive successful three-point shots", but none of them worked.
Even Fu Xiaoju couldn't think of what else they could write. The skinny senior suddenly had an idea and asked them to write "win the championship in the city's college 3v3 basketball competition."
Fu Xiaoju was skeptical: "We are in a dungeon now, how can we go to the city to play a game? The goals written here must be something that can be completed in the dungeon!"
Senior Thin: "Give it a try. I think what we wrote earlier was too simple. The table needs a more difficult goal."
Fu Xiaoju: "What if it really asks us to compete? How can we possibly win the championship? What will happen to us if we can't win?"
He suddenly felt a little headache. His two seniors had both gotten into the science and engineering school on their own. Even though the college entrance examination scores were different in different places, maybe there was nothing wrong with the brains of those who got into the science and engineering school. But why did he feel that their thinking was so outrageous?
I don’t usually feel so tired when getting along with others.
The thin senior: "Didn't you also say that we can't go to the city to compete in the dungeon now? What's more, the city competition is not scheduled to start until next month. How can the dungeon really let us compete?"
Fu Xiaoju was stunned and asked in shock: "Are you trying to find a bug?"
The dungeon wanted them to raise the difficulty of the club's goal, so they simply raised it to a level that the dungeon couldn't possibly test? !
The thin senior chuckled.
Senior Zhuang rolled his eyes and thought this was a good idea. He wrote it down without waiting for Fu Xiaoju to react. This time the font did not disappear, and the form approved the goal of the club!
Fu Xiaoju's heart was beating fast. He felt something was wrong. Did these two people underestimate the IQ of the copy maker? Why did he feel like he was doomed?
On the other hand, small animal protection societies are also in a bit of a difficult situation.
Their club is a social practice club, and social practice requires communication and exchange with the outside world. It is not possible to produce results in the classroom.
Qi Shan thought carefully for a long time, and after discussing with Ye Sui and the sophomore girl, he wrote down: We can cooperate with the largest stray animal protection base in the province to carry out a full and meaningful social practice.
The period was written, but the font did not disappear.
Ye Sui pondered and said, "The copy must have a way to test whether our goal has been achieved."
Qi Shan exhaled: "No matter what, if the enemy comes, we will fight them; if the water comes, we will block it with earth."
The last two rows of the form are "Do you need a mentor?" and "Which club do you want to join?"
No one would fill in the application form needing a supervisor at this time, because everyone knows that the supervisor cannot be a normal "teacher".
As for the last item, it is what members need to fill in.
Everyone hurried to fill out the form and sign their names. Brother Niao, Qi Shan, Wang Haiyang, senior from the basketball club, and the president of the handicraft club put the QR code of their forms in front of the scanning screen of the lottery box, and five keys came out.
Each key is engraved with the corresponding classroom number.
Cosplay Club in 201;
The basketball club is in 202;
The Small Animal Protection Society is at 203;
The handicraft club is at 204;
The literature club is at 205.
The thirteen people got the keys, and before they could say anything, a subtle sense of fear suddenly rose from deep within their bodies.
My heartbeat quickened, my stomach seemed to be slowly tightened by a hand, my chest began to feel stuffy, cold sweat silently seeped out of my pores, and my hands and feet gradually became numb.
Mu Yu, Jiang Shuyue and Lu Zhongnian are all too familiar with this feeling.
——It’s the feeling of near death!
The copy was probably urging them to hurry to their respective classrooms!
Mu Yu walked around the three tables blocking the center of the hall. This time there was no invisible barrier stopping him.
The dungeon map was finally completely opened to them.
He shouted to the others, "Take your application and go!"
