Chapter 067: Fighting Late at Night
Back to school successfully~
Chen Xiao'er jumped off the bus and ran inside quickly with her classmates.
The university campus was shrouded in the quiet night, and the transparent brick walls were lit with a hazy light, as if saying "Welcome home".
The main door opened with a beep, and lavender light screens brushed past shoulders and cheeks, reminding people of the sterilization lights in the bathroom.
Xiao Ai turned around and whispered to Lin Lang, "It was really not easy... and we were even delayed at the rest stop for a whole day."
I spent last night at a simple rest stop on the side of the road.
She originally thought that the school had other arrangements and would continue training and even take exams for everyone inside, but she didn't expect that it would just be ordinary eating and sleeping. This made her and her classmates restless and she almost couldn't fall asleep.
Lin Lang nodded in understanding, holding her arm and walking quickly forward. "There's no other way. For safety's sake, we have to go over there first."
"There's no other way. For safety's sake, I have to observe him in a safe house for a day."
For safety? Wouldn't it be even more unsafe to stay outside? Are you afraid of being followed by people from outside the school?
Chen Xiao'er didn't think too much about it, because the classmates walked quickly and had already arrived in front of a spacious silver gate while they were talking.
The silver door is inlaid with many golden metal strips. Its shape is very similar to the main gate, and both look like the heavy sealing doors in hospitals.
Beep.
It also lit up a purple light curtain, which slowly opened after it had scanned all the students.
Chen Xiao'er followed the crowd in. There was a partition in the middle to separate men and women. She and her female classmates walked towards the changing passage on the right.
It is indeed a changing passage rather than a changing room, because the walls on both sides are recessed, providing a long clothing platform in the middle.
Even shoes have to be disinfected, so after taking them off, they are not placed in a closed box, but on tracks under the clothes so that they can be transported to the back room for the staff to clean.
"So strict..." Xiao'er sighed softly.
The classmate next to him whispered after hearing this: "We should do this in group activities from now on."
Indeed, I remember that whenever other students left the school, they would be caught by the security guards and forced to take showers upon returning... Wait, have I already violated the school rules?!
Chen Xiao'er put the clothes she took off on the platform, and suddenly remembered that she had secretly run out to see Sister Lan or went to a snack bar outside the school to eat. Sometimes she remembered to take a shower after coming back, and a few times she went straight back to the dormitory.
The school rules and regulations state that you must shower and wash clothes after returning from outside school, but because of the habits I developed in the past, I have forgotten several times.
Will these violations be captured by cameras and broadcast publicly at a morning meeting?
Cold sweat streamed down her face. Xiao'ai followed Lin Lang stiffly and walked into the bathhouse with everyone else.
Wow——
The cool water droplets hit the soles of my feet, and the perceived temperature was only 40 degrees Celsius at most.
She looked up and found that this bathroom did not have a protruding shower head. Instead, it used small holes to evenly spray water mist from the entire ceiling, showering from head to toe.
Not far away was a large, 10-meter-square bathing pool. The water was clearly scalding hot, steam rising from it. Furthermore, the water was a bright blue, the color of disinfectant, indicating the presence of numerous chemicals.
Zheng Lu poked her shoulder and whispered, "You have to be really dirty to soak it. I soaked it once when I first came here, and my skin was sore."
"Yeah, yeah. We'll just stand here and take a shower."
The room was spacious enough for dozens of students to shower simultaneously. Xiao Ai found an empty spot and stood there. The water droplets on her body gradually warmed up, allowing her to apply soap and create a pure white foam.
As Chen Xiao'er was painting, she noticed that the surroundings were getting darker.
What's going on?
She looked up and saw that it was her classmates who had gathered around her: liquid was clearly being sprinkled evenly above her head, but for some reason everyone was standing in a circle around her.
“…”
By the time she wiped from her chest to her thighs, Zheng Xiuli's feet were about to step on the floor tiles next to her.
"Um..." Chen Xiao'er felt a little pressured. She asked while washing the foam, "Student Zheng, there are still many seats next to you..."
Zheng Xiuli raised her head and said calmly, "I'm sorry, I got quite dirty outside, so I should be able to clean myself better standing here with you."
[“Excuse me, your superpower can expel pollution. I was deeply infected during the battle and would like to borrow your power to purify it.”]
ah?
Fortunately, Zheng Xiuli washed quickly. After rubbing, she looked at the tattoo on her chest and left. But the next student quickly took her place and stood next to her to wash!
Xiao Ai was stunned. She found herself like a reef in the ocean, her classmates washing themselves like water flowing towards and away. She looked up at the ceiling in silence: Could it be that the shower head above me was having a stronger impact?
"Xiao Ai, don't worry, no one will bump into you."
Lin Lang smiled and scooped up her long hair, scrubbing it under the water droplets: "How about you wait until I'm done washing, and I'll help you hold your back so you don't fall."
"No, I'm not scared~"
Chen Xiao'er shook her head, and the strange feeling quickly dissipated. She picked up a towel and gently scrubbed with water, finishing quickly.
…
"Huh~" It feels so good to drink a drink after taking a shower!
She bought a can of Coke from the vending machine, unscrewed the ring and drank it. Then she ran to the middle of her roommates.
"Military training is really over? No more exams?"
Xiao'er squinted her eyes and made a cat shape with her mouth in happiness.
“There’s an exam.”
After Lin Lang finished speaking, Zheng Lu added, "Just in a week."
"Oh~ah?!" Xiao'er's face immediately fell, and she looked at her roommates in disbelief: "How could it be...ah, yes, the military training was terminated early due to the earthquake."
She immediately remembered that the teacher had said that military training would be combined with the placement test.
Even if the military training is cancelled, the exam can still be taken again. Ending the military training early means starting the exam early, which makes sense.
They walked out of the elevator and passed by the study room.
Chen Xiao'er glanced over and saw that the classroom was packed with people: not just seniors, but also many familiar faces of freshmen. There were even a few students who had just returned from the same bus and were sitting in, laptops clutched, fresh out of the shower.
Dear classmates, it is now 8:30 in the evening. Are you dreaming of your senior year in high school?
Gurgle.
The sweetness of the cola in her mouth suddenly faded. Looking at the students studying late into the night, Chen Xiao'er asked bitterly, "What's on the placement test?"
Although it seems a bit stupid to ask now, it will be very tragic if I don’t ask now.
Lin Lang pointed to the bookshelf inside. "It's very simple, a comprehensive test and a series of physical fitness tests."
"Woo."
Chen Xiao'er made the sound of a puppy being kicked. Her academic performance was barely acceptable in the city, but the examination paper of Taoli University would surely be very difficult. Would she be able to pass it?
She could almost see her classmates simultaneously pushing up their glasses and saying in a tone full of pity, "Xiao'e, if you're stupid, you need to read more and study hard."
No, I can't be so lazy anymore.
Chen Xiao'er vaguely remembered the oath she made after entering school: study hard, don't be the last one in the class, and don't hold back the seniors!
My senior is in the same study group as me, and I would be so sorry to her if I did too poorly on the exam!
"Let's go study now."
Chen Xiao'er threw the empty can into the trash can. She grabbed Lin Lang's arm, her eyes shining.
"Okay." The pink-haired girl laughed and dragged her into the study room, stepping into the dim light.
…
They found a corner away.
Chen Xiao'er sat next to the bookshelf and looked inside, and found that the classmates seemed to like sitting together.
The classroom is spacious, with bookshelves on all four sides and a blackboard hovering in the front.
There are roughly thirty students around. If they are distributed evenly, they can sit one student at a time so that they don't disturb each other.
But they all chose to sit under a purple-tinged headlight in the center, and deliberately pulled their seats together.
If everyone hadn't been so quiet, she would have thought that the students in the study room were all from the same study group and needed to discuss a group report.
"Xiao'er, you don't need to worry too much about the comprehensive cultural subjects. Here, these are the materials that will be used in the placement test."
Lin Lang came over with a pile of books and dropped them on the table with a clang.
Chen Xiao'er gestured with her hands. None of these materials were thinner than her finger. More than a dozen books stacked together were taller than her head!
She took a deep breath and asked weakly, "Do you want to learn everything?"
“I need to learn everything.”
Lin Lang pulled a book out and handed it over. "Here, this is 'Biological Illustrated Book - Teaches You How to Identify Poisonous Plants and Animals'. It's quite basic, even elementary school students can memorize it."
"Here, this 'Abnormal Guide - How to Deal with Most Anomalies' is quite basic. I've memorized it by heart since I was eight."
Ahhh, why do primary school students have to memorize this? Can't we just go to the supermarket and buy non-toxic vegetables and fruits?
Chen Xiao'er took the booklet painfully and slammed her forehead on it.
"Thank you...woooo, so much."
She flipped through the pages and found that it was written in great detail.
It is not like Baidu Encyclopedia where a picture is accompanied by a few lines of description edited by netizens. Instead, it contains a huge literature index, and the only scientific name that is easy to memorize on the entire paper.
Xiao'er's fingers trembled slightly as she tapped on the book: I mean you should study hard, but it's too difficult to learn knowledge that you don't know when you will use it.
Perhaps the despair on her face had already solidified into reality, Zheng Lu whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, you performed so well in military training, and you have a very special background. No matter how high your score is, you will be assigned to Class A."
"Don't worry. You helped the church reclaim the Energy Stone, and you have such special superpowers. You'll be assigned to Class A regardless of your overall grades."
Due to the special background, Chen Xiao'er felt guilty.
She suddenly remembered that she wanted to "question" the professor and the senior student, and pinched the page of the book a little nervously.
I was originally planning to ask the professor after the military training, and then ask the senior, but I happened to have an exam... Should I wait until after the exam to find a chance to ask the senior first, and then ask Professor Milo?
Whenever she thought of the professor's golden amber eyes, her heart would inexplicably tighten.
Rather than “how to start the conversation”, I seem to be more worried about “how they will view me”.
Whether it's a senior student or a professor, I don't want to be disliked by them.
Chen Xiao'er was so confused that she couldn't read the "Biology Illustrated Book" at all. She simply took out the thinnest book from the pile.
Ancient Language
There are many foreign languages on Red Star, and naturally there are many ancient languages as well. However, the titles of "Ancient Language" generally refer to Shenghua Ancient Language, similar to the ancient Chinese of Blue Star.
It is said that "Ancient Language" is a very difficult subject.
Therefore, it will not be covered from elementary school to high school, and not many people share pictures of ancient Chinese texts on the Internet. Corresponding courses will not be offered until university.
"Ah, that's difficult."
[“Ah, that’s very polluted.”] Lin Lang quietly put down his hand halfway through his words, because Chen Xiao’er easily opened the book.
The translucent pages of the book absorbed the light, and Chen Xiao'er read the lines of text intently.
There is no reading difficulty at all. The ancient language and modern Chinese are very close.
Her eyes widened in surprise: Although there are differences, these differences are like the traditional and simplified Chinese characters. At most, they will cause some difficulties when writing from memory, but there will be no obstacles in reading.
What’s even more interesting is that perhaps ancient people did not have enough paper to record things, so the writing was very concise, and one paragraph would contain many points of knowledge.
No wonder this book "Ancient Language" is the thinnest of the materials here!
"Lin Lang, is Ancient Language difficult for you?"
Her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Lin Lang shrugged honestly, "It's difficult. I'm not planning on taking this course anyway. It would be great if you could learn it. Although it's an elective, you can apply to take Ancient Languages instead of a required course."
"Okay, I've decided to pick this one, starting with this one!" Chen Xiao'er excitedly patted the cover and gave a "yeah" sign to her companions. "Let's study together tonight—burn the midnight oil!"
How can a happy college life be complete without cramming before exams?
