In fact, Tang Xin Jue had decided to speak out about this matter before the first test. However, there was no chance to breathe during the test, so he had to come out and talk about it later.
Now is the time.
"Actually, I dreamt about the scene in the game a week ago."
"No, to be more precise, it was three years ago."
“???!!!”
As Tang Xinjue slowly explained, everyone opened their eyes wide.
For the first time, they learned that Tang Xinjue had been in a car accident three years ago.
It was this car accident that caused her to look thin and weak now. No matter how she supplemented her nutrition and exercised, even if she developed skills and strength far beyond her peers, her appearance would always remain in this malnourished state.
It was also from that time that Tang Xinjue began to be haunted by nightmares and hallucinations. His academic life was affected and he had to change his major and devote his time and energy to maintaining his mental safety.
In her lingering nightmares, there is always lingering darkness and various monsters, forcing her to flee in danger of her life.
"...One of the most important escape scenes is the dormitory." Tang Xinjue said this cautiously: "The monster that knocked on the door on the first day appeared exactly the same in my dream."
You can attack by contact, and you can escape by tearing it apart. This is also the unspoken rule in dreams, and it also applies to this game.
The three roommates were speechless for a long time. They never imagined that there was such a hidden story behind Tang Xinjue's powerful strength.
"So what else did you dream about?"
Zhang You thought about it and asked, "If this is some kind of prophetic dream, then it might contain a lot of game content."
The few of them concentrated, but Tang Xinjue shook his head: "Dream memories are mostly repetitive and vague. I can only recall the specific content of the dream when I encounter it in reality."
"But I guess it's because of these dreams that I'm more sensitive to ghosts and dangerous auras, and sometimes I can ignore the rules and use their items directly."
Guo Guo added, "And the san value! No wonder your san value is as strong as iron. I lost all of it, but you're still standing firm."
It turns out it wasn't because she was too weak, but because of the damage comparison - her teammates were too ridiculously strong!
"Thank you for telling us all this." After a brief discussion that yielded no results, Zhang You sighed. "Although I've always suspected you had a secret, I never imagined you'd endure so much on your own... It would be great if I could understand the connection between your dreams and the game."
Nightmares for several consecutive days would cause an ordinary person to suffer mental exhaustion, but Tang Xinjue has endured for so long, and his mental patience has become stronger and stronger, which is both shocking and admirable.
"Since it exists, it won't exist in vain." Tang Xinjue smiled, "We will understand it one day."
After explaining the dream and his supernatural powers, Tang Xinjue took out his phone again and brought his still-shocked roommate back to reality. "But the most important thing right now is to determine the next step."
The [Exam/Competition] interface has a new prompt:
[The test for the day has been completed. You are now resting. Please refresh the test information at 8:00 AM tomorrow.]
"It's eight o'clock in the evening now. The dormitory safety guide says that from now until eight o'clock tomorrow morning, it's our absolutely safe time, so you can rest as much as you want."
As soon as Tang Xinjue finished speaking, a long sigh was heard in the dormitory. Several people collapsed as if their bones had been pulled out. Their nerves that had been tense until now finally relaxed in the true sense.
At least they can get some good sleep tonight.
Nine o'clock in the evening.
After Tang Xinjue finished washing up and confirmed that he had no injuries other than muscle soreness, he began to check his supernatural powers.
Although she was reluctant to accept it... the toilet plunger ability was her best card at the moment. The damage might not be high, but the insult was extremely strong.
Now it has been upgraded to level 2, and the introduction shows that it has new functions. Tang Xinjue tried to sense it and found that there were two more buttons on the top of its handle.
Is this the new feature?
Press the first button, the rubber head of the toilet plunger will flicker twice, and a stream of water will spray out and splash onto the ground.
[Automatic flushing function: No need to manually fill the toilet with water before unclogging. Just press a button and your toilet will be unblocked!]
Tang Xin Jue: "..."
This thing is actually upgraded and evolved according to the original function of the toilet plunger?
What she needs is superpowers and weapons! What good would it do even if she evolved a flush toilet?
Tang Xinjue remained calm in the face of the female ghost, but faced with her own special abilities, a pool of blood formed in her chest, and she felt a complex mix of emotions that were difficult to describe. After a pause of two seconds, she pressed the second button.
The next moment, the toilet plunger transformed into a streak of white light and sank into her palm. At the same time, a cartoon image of a plunger appeared in her mind, revealing its properties:
[Level 2 Object-related Ability, Proficiency: 72/100, Attack Power: To be developed, Defense Power: To be developed]
[Primary Assistance (Developed): Reclaim this ability from your mind and restore 1 health point per hour]
(Development source: Strong recovery characteristics of the holder)
Finally seeing a useful ability, Tang Xinjue pondered. If the development of physical abilities stems from the characteristics of the ability holder, then how would one determine whether they were useful?
Suddenly, there was a commotion in my ears. It was Guo Guo's voice: "I exchanged my random reward for 2 student points!"
Zhang You and Zheng Wanqing also exchanged their points. Although the amount was small, it was a huge sum of money at the time, and the three of them were quite satisfied. However, only Tang Xinjue successfully exchanged for a buff.
"The light of righteousness? What kind of buff is this?"
When my roommate came over to take a look, he found that there was no explanation on the Buff. It was just hanging there in a very plain and simple manner, which was puzzling.
"There's a buff that only becomes clear when it's triggered."
Since she couldn't find it, Tang Xinjue didn't intend to waste time on guessing. She returned to her seat and concentrated on studying the current information.
The roommates were busy with their own things, and everyone cherished this downtime. Guo Guo dug out a pile of supernatural books, vowing to study the Yin-Yang eyes to the fullest, so as not to scare himself to death the next time he encountered a ghost.
Zheng Wanqing was practicing Taekwondo, hanging upside down from her bed. She tilted her head and said to her roommate, "I feel like my endurance and joint toughness have improved."
Guo Guo: "Get out! You're scaring me to death!!"
Zhang You spent two hours compiling a list of all the food and supplies in the dormitory, filling up ten pages of draft paper. She used her printer to give each person a copy and required everyone to recite it before going to bed.
Everyone: “…”
7:55 in the morning.
Tang Xinjue woke up on time, his eyes clear.
This was the first time in three years that she had slept through the night without dreaming. When she woke up, she no longer felt a headache or fatigue, but instead had clear eyes and ears, and her body was filled with a lightness of strength.
If I had to describe this feeling, it would only be... like being reborn.
The room was very quiet, and his roommate hadn't woken up yet. Tang Xinjue suppressed his turbulent emotions and drew aside the bed curtains, but his eyes froze.
It's dawn.
The light does not come entirely from the lights in the dormitory, but from outside.
When I walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, I saw that the impenetrable darkness outside the balcony had dissipated, replaced by a vast white fog that covered everything in my sight, and I couldn't see anything in the fog.
Tang Xinjue subconsciously put his hand on the glass window. The moment his palm touched the window, the white mist outside the window suddenly surged as if it had life, and bit down hard on his palm!
She suffered no actual harm through the barrier of the balcony window, only a cold touch penetrated into her palms and attached to her bones, as if countless voices were whispering in her ears at the same time.
Greed, covetousness, malice, contempt...
After about four or five seconds, the sound could no longer penetrate her consciousness and faded away unwillingly.
Tang Xin Jue stood motionless, staring coldly out the window. It seemed that whether it was darkness or white fog, their essence was the same, harboring unspeakable danger.
She pulled her hand back expressionlessly, and a flash of white light appeared in her hand as she grasped the toilet plunger. The rubber tip spit out a stream of water towards the white mist outside the window.
"Sorry, this is the only thing you deserve to eat."
Bai Wu: “…”
The white mist returned to stillness, as if it had never moved. The other roommates woke up one after another, their mouths dropping open at the sight, and they all rushed to the window to watch. It wasn't until Tang Xinjue reminded them not to touch the window that they came to their senses.
"Ding-dong-dong, dong-dong-ding—"
A strange and unpleasant music came from the white mist:
"Happy Monday, class time has arrived, the test papers have been distributed, everyone get ready~"
"Dear students, did you study hard today?"
My roommate covered his ears and said, "This is the worst wake-up call I've ever heard in my life. Nails scratching a blackboard sounds better than this."
"It's eight o'clock." Tang Xinjue opened his phone and reminded the three of them, "It's time to refresh the exam."
After hurriedly eating a few cookies for breakfast, several people checked the exam information.
The APP interface has been updated, and the exam rules are listed at the top:
[Monday to Friday is study time, weekends are rest time]
[If you pass less than one course in a week, the entire dormitory will be expelled.]
[If you pass three or more courses in a week, you can sign up for extracurricular competitions on weekends.]
[Diligence makes people progress, laziness makes people regress]
Below the rules, three options are concise and eye-catching:
[Please select one of the following test contents. Countdown: 15 minutes]
Volume A: A Brief History of Maritime Civilization
Volume B: "Four Seasons Protection Guide"
Volume C: "Dead Rising: Dormitory Survival Test"
...First of all, Paper C must be excluded first.
After confirming with each other's eyes, none of the four wanted to experience a zombie siege. They were just four unarmed college students who didn't even have a kitchen knife. How could they fight zombies?
As for A and B...
"A brief history of marine civilization, it won't ask us to fight sea monsters, right?" Guo Guo asked.
Click on the top of Tang Xin Jue, and a brief introduction will appear on the options:
[The best way to learn history is to see it with your own eyes, and Ocean thinks so too.]
[Note: This paper is part of the course "Ocean and Human Life". Students can obtain the corresponding course certificate based on their exam scores (except for those who fail the course)]
...witness it with your own eyes? How do you witness it?
Tang Xin Jue frowned, "At least we know that this dungeon requires a certain understanding of marine life and the ability to swim."
Among the four of them, Zheng He and Guo are both landlubbers, and Zhang You and her swimming ability is also average, so they are not suitable for underwater combat.
"Then we can only choose Paper B?"
Everyone stared at the last option.
As we all know, there are four seasons in the world, and each has its own drawbacks. How to survive the four seasons with the help of a dorm room is a question every student must face, and it is also the theme of this exam.
[Note: This paper is part of the course "Student Survival Essentials." Students can obtain the corresponding course certificate based on their exam scores (except for those who fail the course)]
"What the hell is this—what kind of school requires students to learn how to survive?" Guo Guo collapsed, holding his head. "I don't need to struggle to survive four seasons!"
"Obviously, in a school with a dorm survival game, students are needed."
Tang Xinjue had a rough idea in his mind and looked up at his roommate, "In this dungeon, there is a high probability of encountering extreme environments."
Zhang You agreed, "And it might take a long time, since it's [four seasons], so food is also a problem."
But at least they have a basic understanding of what might happen in each season. If it is hot summer, there are fans and water in the dormitory. If it is cold winter, there are down jackets and quilts in the dormitory.
Compared with the other two subjects, this subject gives people a greater sense of security.
There was no suspense; Paper B was overwhelmingly selected. Before the selection period was over, Tang Xin Jue opened the store and scanned the items available for the exam.
Two minutes later, she exited the mall with a stack of blue talisman paper in her hand.
"Three-foot Frozen Talisman. This talisman can freeze a one-square-meter area where the temperature drops by 50 to 70 degrees Celsius. 10 points, 10 cards."
If it is in an extremely hot environment, it may have miraculous effects.
The others also quickly scanned it, and in the blink of an eye, the countdown came to an end.
[Ding, registration successful, exam loading...]
[The Four Seasons Protection Guide exam has begun. The exam papers are open. Please work hard!]
…
…
It was an ordinary morning, and even the sunlight was covered with a layer of mist due to the cold.
Winter always comes unexpectedly. By the time you buy breakfast, the temperature outside has dropped by more than 30 degrees Celsius, and you need to quickly cross the corridor and return to the dormitory.
Tang Xinjue stood at the corridor's stairwell, holding a cup of soy milk and a bag of buns, but she couldn't feel any warmth. She turned her head and looked towards the back of the corridor.
——Can you make it back to the dormitory successfully?
"If there were no second-person game narration, my success rate would probably go up a lot."
Tang Xinjue spoke lightly.
The game's narration is full of emotion: "..."
The strange voice-over disappeared, and she felt her body relax and she regained her freedom of movement.
It seemed this dungeon would begin with a checkpoint system. Tang Xinjue stared at the dark corridor before her. This time, she opened her eyes to find herself standing at the entrance, wearing only a shirt and a denim jacket. The freezing winter temperature instantly caused her skin to break out in pimples, and she shivered non-stop.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, she didn't expect the copy to start directly from winter. She was not prepared enough.
Without hesitation, he walked quickly towards the dormitory. Room 606 was in the middle of the corridor, and it would only take about 10 seconds to walk there quickly... However, in less than two seconds, Tang Xinjue was forced to stop.
A hand reached out from the door of Room 602 and grabbed her ankle.
"Save me, Tang, Tang Xin Jue..."
The girl who was catching the man raised her head. It was Zhou Xiao, who had a good relationship with their dormitory and often went to dormitory 606 to distribute snacks.
At this moment, Zhou Xiao was already emaciated, his body seemed to have been stretched thin, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were covered with dry dead skin. "I haven't eaten in five days. I'm really dying... Save me..."
The girl's eyes fell on the soy milk and buns in Tang Xinjue's hands, and tears rolled down from the corners of her dry eyes.
