Chapter 26: Club Recruitment (Part 3)
The feeling of impending death caused the rest of the people to fall into panic in an instant.
Seeing Mu Yu, Jiang Shuyue and Lu Chongnian running forward, they hurried to catch up!
Rushing all the way to the stairs, Mu Yu suddenly stopped and quickly browsed through the secondary rules on the KT board on the wall.
Activity Center Usage Rules:
1. All personnel have their own activity classrooms, please do not visit others.
2. Please knock on the door before entering the classroom, and pay attention to the time when knocking. Remember to close the door in time after entering the classroom.
3. If you hear a knock on the door in the classroom, you can open it; if you hear a knock on the door from somewhere else, please ignore it and concentrate on club activities.
4. In the activity classroom, please cherish every minute and every second, as the teachers will supervise you.
5. Maintain order and do not wander outside the classroom for a long time.
6. Please respect your instructor and be a polite student.
7. Once the assessment is passed, the club will be established and members can enter other classrooms to participate in inter-club exchange activities.
After a quick glance, the group was horrified by the feeling that they couldn't make any sense of it but also had a vague feeling that there were traps everywhere.
Mu Yu said decisively: "Take a picture of the rules and look at them carefully when we get back to the classroom!"
Everyone hurriedly raised their phones to take pictures, and then rushed upstairs. The sound of messy footsteps could be heard on the stairs.
Mu Yu remembered something important and picked up his phone to test whether they could make calls or send messages in this copy, but his phone turned into flight mode. So he just put the phone back into his trouser pocket.
The feeling of impending death extended from the lobby on the first floor to the corridor leading to the second floor. I'm afraid that all the spaces outside the classrooms have been shrouded by the feeling of impending death.
Activity Center Rules of Use Article 5: Maintain order and do not wander outside the classroom for a long time.
After this, they would probably have to stay in their respective classrooms unless necessary.
Mu Yu took the lead and rushed up to the second floor, shouting, "Remember to check if there are any other rules after you enter the classroom. Also, after three seconds, everyone will open the door together."
Qi Shan, the president of the Small Animal Protection Society, panted and asked in confusion: "Why, why?" Why wait three seconds before opening?
Jiang Shuyue: "Because I want to test whether I can hear the sounds outside the classroom!"
Everyone: “???”
Why? If they yell through a door, will the sound be blocked?
Lu Zhongnian: "Article 3 of the Activity Center Rules of Use."
Those with poor memory were confused at the moment. Those with better memory, such as Fu Xiaoju, barely recalled what the rule was about, and immediately felt overwhelmed.
"If you hear a knock on the door in the classroom, you can open it; if you hear a knock on the door from somewhere else, please ignore it and concentrate on club activities."
Ultimately, this rule implies that something strange might come knocking on their door, and they have to identify it themselves. But if players can pass messages through the door, then there will be no problem of opening the wrong door and inviting the wrong person!
"Shit," Fu Xiaoju ran until his face turned red, "I'll suffocate if I run in the corridor for too long, and I can't use my cell phone. If I can't hear the noise outside in the classroom, how can we communicate?"
Mu Yu was running so fast that his breath was unstable: "Just knock on the door, and then go back to the classroom and discuss with the door open. If you feel like you are dying, then you can't hold it anymore and close the door to slow down. Then open the door together and continue until the discussion is over. Or you can throw pieces of paper, and then knock on the door. It's best to knock at the same time..."
Lu Zhongnian: "Four times."
Just in case some weird thing imitates the normal people's habitual knocking number - three times.
Everyone: “Shit!!”
There is a rectangular patio-style corridor, and five classrooms are arranged side by side on the long side.
The literature club was in classroom 205, closest to the stairs. Wang Haiyang and Jiang Shuyue took the lead and opened the door and rushed in.
The second place was the handicraft club in classroom 204. Before entering, Lu Zhongnian pulled Mu Yu and said, "Be careful."
Mu Yu was startled and responded softly, "Yeah, you too."
He shook Lu Zhongnian's hand and said, "If you have any questions, pass me a note."
Then there is the animal protection club in classroom 203.
Mu Yu reminded Ye Sui: "Be careful and communicate in time if there is anything!"
Ye Sui: "Don't worry."
Fu Xiaoju ran into classroom 202, and asked Mu Yu breathlessly, "Is that Lu Zhongnian really an idol? Who were you hinting at when you said someone helped you but not me?"
Mu Yu patted his shoulder and said, "The answer is right in front of you. Come on, horse, keep running!"
Fu Xiaoju: "Fuck, what can you do if you just tell me?!"
Mu Yu: "You wouldn't believe me even if I told you. Don't you only believe things that you think up yourself?"
Fu Xiaoju: “…” Damn, he hated the feeling of being seen through by the people he hated!!
Finally, Mu Yu, Niao Ge and the sophomore student rushed into classroom 201 and closed the door.
The lights in the classroom are bright.
This is a student activity classroom that looks ordinary.
In the middle of the classroom, four long tables are put together.
There were all kinds of messy items on the table and on the floor, including paper and pens, scissors, tape measures, cloth, clothes, colored paper, etc.
——It just happened to meet the needs of their cosplay club, they needed to make clothes and props.
Bird was still gasping for breath: "I can confirm that there are usually no such things in this classroom."
The senior student was also panting: "That, that is the copy that was created specifically to mess with us."
She would never use the word "cooperation". Providing them with materials for club activities is called "cooperation"?
This whole copy is just for them!
Mu Yu turned around and opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, he began to feel like he was dying. It seemed useless to hide in the classroom.
He shouted outside: "Can you hear my voice~~~"
The lingering sound echoed throughout the student activity center.
The next second, the doors of the other four classrooms were opened at the same time, and four, five, six, seven, or eight heads popped out.
Mu Yu: "Did you hear that just now?"
Everyone: “Shit!!”
Mu Yu: "OK, I understand."
It means that I didn't hear it.
*
Time, 7:20.
The sophomore’s name is Yu Hui, and she has to call Niao Ge “senior” because Niao Ge is already a junior.
Yu Hui said with a bitter face: "I am not here to recruit new members for our club. Our oil painting club was fully recruited yesterday. I just passed by here and wanted to go to the toilet. If I had known, I would have gone back to the dormitory."
Brother Bird sighed, "Stop talking. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have set up the stall so late today. Speaking of Yu, Jiang Shuyue said that your last instance was at the Xinlian Theater. Why did you target our Polytechnic Institute this time?"
Mu Yu shook his head: "We don't know either."
Why are two consecutive copies in the Polytechnic Institute? Is it a coincidence or intentional?
If there is another copy, where will He choose then?
They have no idea or clue about these problems now.
Yu Hui: "If the University of Science and Technology is really being targeted, and this kind of copy will appear anytime and anywhere, then I might really want to drop out..."
Bird Brother: "You've made it to sophomore year, so don't drop out. You can take a year off..."
Yu Hui: "What if Li Gong will never be let off in this life?"
"..." Brother Bird, "We in the science and engineering field can't be so sinful!!"
Mu Yu: “…”
He looked around and didn't see any new rules or monster generators within the visible range. There were no large cabinets in the classroom, so there was no problem of obstruction.
He walked to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down, took a piece of paper and a pen, thought for a while, and began to organize his thoughts.
Bird Brother and Yu Hui came over and asked, "What should we do now? How do we prepare for the club presentation?"
Mu Yu said: "The club presentation must be prepared around the club goals we filled in. Brother Bird, didn't you just write about using existing props to cosplay classic anime characters? We have to think about which work we want to cosplay. It would be best if it is so classic that people can recognize the characters at a glance and say the name of the anime."
Bird Brother: "Prince of Tennis? Naruto? One Piece? Bleach?"
Mu Yu stopped writing and fell into deep thought: "If the one who reviews us is a monster, has the monster ever read Japanese comics?"
Brother Bird: “…” Good question. I have to ask another question: Do monsters like to read hot-blooded comics?
Haha, it seems that we can't expect monsters to cover such a wide range...
Yu Hui: "Then it's Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, and the Legend of the Seven Heroes of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit!"
Bird Brother: "But there don't seem to be that many furry materials in this classroom..."
To be precise, although there are a lot of miscellaneous items in this classroom, most of them are "junk", which is not enough for them to cosplay any characters that require complicated costumes and equipment.
Brother Bird thought about it and said, "I'll go sort out the materials in this classroom first and see what I can do. Yu Hui, come and help me, and A Yu, you write yours."
Yu Hui: “OK.”
Mu Yu: "Okay, I'll come help you guys when I finish writing."
Niao Ge and Yu Hui began to rummage through the boxes and drawers, while Mu Yu calmed down and thought.
The first is the question of near-death experience.
He found that the feeling of impending death he just felt was not as intense as in the previous copy, which probably meant that the "time limit" was different.
The time limit for the previous copy was about one minute - if they did not answer the monster's questions within one minute, they would most likely die on the spot.
This time, they stayed outside the classroom, and the feeling of near death was much less severe. Judging from the speed of progress, it was about...
Mu Yu wrote the first line.
1. Time spent outside the classroom, estimated: 5 minutes (maybe longer)
The second question is about community display and review.
The entire activity center has three floors, and the club union office is on the third floor, which is also where they will conduct the club review later.
There will definitely be important clues there, but there will definitely be danger too.
In terms of the difficulty of preparing for the club presentation, the literature club and the basketball club will definitely be the first to be assessed. However, I don't know what the specific assessment method will be. This will only be known after the first group to take the assessment has tried it out.
2. If you are ready, you can consider going to the club association as soon as possible to present your club and get clues.
Of course, people tend to seek benefits and avoid harm. We will have to wait and see which group will become the pioneer.
3……
Mu Yu turned around and asked Brother Niao and Yu Hui who were busy: "Brother Niao, Senior Sister, besides the club office, are there any other places on the third floor that need attention? Do you know?"
Bird brother wiped his sweat, thought for a while and said: "It seems that there is nothing much. There are only a few offices, but every time I come here, the doors are closed. No one uses them at all."
Yu Hui said: "There are quite a lot of filing cabinets at the Society Union. Could the monster generator be hidden in those cabinets? Do we have to pass the review before we can look through them at will?"
Mu Yu thought for a while and wrote:
3. Club Office, Documents? If the Monster Generator is next to a document, it must be an important document. Just like the previous instance, the location of the Monster Generator is related to Principal Dou’s important speech.
The types of miscellaneous items that Yu Hui and Niao Ge sorted out were more than they had imagined.
In addition to some materials that can be used to make cosplay props for them, there are also vases, flowers that have long since withered, wool sticks, etc.
"What are these? Can they be used to make props for us?" Yu Hui picked up the withered and dirty flower with her index finger and thumb, but the flower fell off the stem. "Oh my god, this can't be used. Besides, there's no point having a yarn stick without yarn..."
Brother Bird scratched his head and said, "Hiss, I suddenly remembered that our school seems to have a flower arranging club and a weaving club. These clubs seem to be life interest clubs."
Mu Yu's ears pricked up and he turned around: "Besides these things, are there other things that our school life interest clubs will use in reality?"
Brother Bird took a quick look and picked out a few more items.
"Yes, look at this box of plasticine. Our school has a plasticine club. And this notebook. I have a friend who is in the notebook club."
Yu Hui picked up a glass box with a few colorful stones in it. "Here! I remember there was a very magical club in our school called the Stone Collection Club. It should also be a life interest club."
Mu Yu pondered.
They can't say with 100% certainty that all of these things can't be used in cosplay, but the probability of them being used is very small.
So the question is - why does the copy have to produce so many various miscellaneous items?
The copy is accurate and there is no possibility of wasted work.
There is a possibility.
Mu Yu turned around and continued writing.
4. There are many props and materials in the activity classroom:
It is possible that all classrooms are not prepared precisely for each of our clubs, but are prepared according to the type of club.
For example, classroom 201 is the classroom for life interest club activities, 202 is the classroom for cultural, entertainment and sports club activities, and so on.
Once we are forced to give up our original club and form a new club due to danger and obstacles, we will eventually return to our classroom according to the category of the new club.
At the same time, because the copy has reserved a variety of materials and props in each classroom at the beginning, we will not be unable to prepare for new club presentations. This is the fallback that the copy leaves us.
After Mu Yu finished writing this, Yu Hui asked, "By the way, Mu Yu, can you tell which of these two sets of rules are false?"
Mu Yu just wrote down "5".
He said: "Based on the experience of the previous instance, we can temporarily regard the 'Society Application Process and Regulations' as all trustworthy rules. I really don't see anything wrong with those rules. The problem lies in the 'Activity Center Usage Rules', which may be a pitfall."
Yu Hui and Niao Ge listened to the lecture attentively.
"But the only contradictions I can see are the first and seventh ones."
Yu Hui and Niao Ge quickly opened the photo album on their mobile phones to check the rules.
The first rule for using the activity center: All people have their own activity classrooms, please do not visit others.
Article 7 of the Activity Center Rules of Use: Once the assessment is passed, the club is established and members can enter other classrooms to conduct inter-club exchange activities.
Mu Yu analyzed and wrote on the paper: "At first glance, these two rules mean that our clubs cannot visit each other. Only after passing the assessment and establishing the club can we enter other classrooms. But there is actually a problem with this."
"Does the first rule clearly state that it only refers to the situation before the society's approval?"
Niao Ge and Yu Hui were stunned.
"It doesn't set a premise at all, but after seeing the seventh rule, the player may assume that the first rule has such a premise. But if these two rules are really related to each other, why doesn't the copy simply merge them? Why list them separately and put them at the beginning and end?"
Bird Brother and Yu Hui slowly reacted...
The copy deliberately placed these two rules at the beginning and the end. Could it be that it wanted to trick them into thinking that these two rules correspond to two different stages of the game?
The first item corresponds to the situation at the beginning of the copy, which is the situation before the community’s review and approval.
The last item naturally corresponds to the situation after the copy is reviewed and passed.
However, the fact is that the first rule does not explicitly state that it refers to before the society is approved!
Even a fool knows that in this kind of dungeon game where they could face death at any time, they cannot interpret the rules by "default" and cannot believe the "hint" just because one rule implies the premise of another rule!
In this way, the first rule and the seventh rule are in conflict!
The first rule does not set the scope of application. It is very likely to cover the entire copy, from beginning to end, whether before or after the club assessment is passed!
The subject "all personnel" naturally includes "ordinary students" before passing the club assessment and "members" after passing the assessment.
——After the club was established, they still could not enter other classrooms!
Niao Ge and Yu Hui were both dumbfounded. If Mu Yu hadn’t told them, they wouldn’t have been able to tell at all.
but……
Mu Yu bent his fingers and put them on his chin, frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "...There must be something wrong with the seventh rule, but I feel that we can't completely treat it as a fake rule."
For some reason, he always felt that the rules in this copy were convoluted and much more complicated than the previous copy.
Mu Yu first put a question mark on this point.
These are probably the five clues that can be sorted out at the moment. He will make four copies and deliver them to the other four groups later.
Mu Yu put down his pen, turned around and asked Bird Brother: "Well, do you have any idea which work we should cosplay?"
Brother Bird had just been shocked by Mu Yu's nitpicking. He nodded when he heard the words, and he actually had some ideas.
He picked up a few wigs and some white, pink or black fabrics and clothes, and said shyly, "How about cosplaying as Calabash Brothers?"
Mu Yu and Yu Hui: “???”
"These things can be used to cosplay the snake spirit, grandfather and big baby. They require little fabric, are easy to make and are well-known. Even if the monster has not watched Japanese comics, he must have watched Calabash Brothers! Otherwise, what else could it have watched!"
“…………” Mu Yu and Yu Hui, “……that makes sense!”
