Jiang Ling's communication with Sun Yixin, the know-it-all, went quite smoothly. By the end of the last class in the morning, she had a rough idea of the situation in the school and class - of course, for reference only.
The so-called Pu Zhong is actually a reservation given to these non-humans by the mother ship government. By the way, it can also centrally manage some criminals who have committed serious crimes but are not punishable by death. It is a good place with many talents.
The power structure within the school, from top to bottom, is divided into the School Council, the Student Council, the Grade Representative Council, and the Class Council. The School Council primarily oversees school affairs, such as setting rules, maintaining public order, and developing infrastructure. The Student Council, on the other hand, enjoys considerable autonomy, taking on virtually every conceivable task. The remaining two are merely nominal, serving as information exchange channels, though they occasionally organize social gatherings.
Therefore, the school is basically managed by the students themselves. Even if there are problems that they cannot solve, there are quick reaction forces stationed outside the school. When the time comes, they will directly rush in and anyone who tries to make things worse will be severely punished by them.
In Class 3, Grade 2, the 27 students except Jiang Ling had already formed 7 small groups of varying sizes before she came. The largest of them was the "Law-abiding Group", followed by the "Class Committee Authority Group" that every class must participate in, then the "Online Gaming Group", the "Sports and Fitness Group" and the "Fashion Star-Chasing Group", and finally the more distinctive "Entrance Examination Group" and "Four-Person Group".
Sun Yixin said that most of them were uninteresting, and besides the squad leader and the four-member group, there were only two people that Jiang Ling needed to pay attention to.
One of them, Li Zekai, was of ordinary appearance, his true age unknown, and he appeared to be an Awakened being. He sat in the middle of the first row, one seat away from the class monitor. He was rather mysterious, often being picked up off-campus by a plain gray boat. On the rare occasions he attended class, he appeared to be a well-behaved student. He was currently being assigned to a group for further studies, and many in the class explicitly stated that they disliked him.
Another, named Sig, had wild golden hair and was about 22 years old. He was a bad boy known for his fighting habits. He sat in the hallway outside the classroom and rarely attended classes. He was the monitor's loyal dog, a quiet man. Legend had it that his ancestors were immigrants, resulting in his fair, rough skin and tall stature. He was currently on the class committee and, at the monitor's behest, had become the physical education representative.
In Jiang Ling's opinion, Sun Yixin obviously did not truly "tell everything she knew" - she made no secret of her hostility towards the two people mentioned above, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the exaggeration she added when introducing them. When asked about the class monitor and the four-member group, she glossed over it all, as if these five people were insignificant in the class.
Therefore, Jiang Ling probably couldn't completely trust this girl. Considering that she still had a long period of study to go, she had to find more places to get information.
But before that, I have to pretend nothing happened.
Before the bell rang, she took out her terminal, opened the campus navigation she had downloaded earlier, and found the location of the cafeteria.
The cafeteria was indeed hidden in a secluded place, and Sun Yixin did not give away any evidence on this point.
"Let's go? Let's go together!" she said.
Jiang Ling quickly closed her schoolbag and held it lightly in her right hand. Then she followed the self-proclaimed guide, one after another, out of the classroom, through the crowded corridor, and out of the crowded teaching building.
The scenery outside was beautiful. The radiant light from the artificial sun in the "sky" filtered through the golden film of the school's dome, softening and warming Jiang Ling as it shone upon her. The roads were spotless, and people rushed to their destinations. Pale purple evergreen trees lined the streets, their branches trimmed into various shapes by diligent gardeners. Further away, campus buildings of varying styles stood like towering giants. She squinted her eyes, savoring this small world created by humans, feeling a surge of emotion—such a beautiful and suitable place, like a mythical utopia, was actually a gift from the past to the future!
Sun Yixin stopped in front, and the two stood side by side in front of a translucent glass door.
"Are you ready?"
"What? Isn't it just going to the cafeteria to have lunch? What's there to prepare?" Jiang Ling said as he took a step forward.
The door opened automatically, and noisy sounds came out from inside.
"Hurry, hurry, get behind Building 7, someone's trying to fight me again!"
"...Come on, come on, buy it and leave it, buy it and leave it!"
"Three to one, I win this time! How are you going to pay me back? Points or services?"
Jiang Ling thought she had opened it the wrong way, so she took a step back, waited for the sensor door to close automatically, and then tried again - everything was normal.
"What's going on?"
"It's very simple. Look, the cafeteria is spacious and dim..." Sun Yixin's voice passed by Jiang Ling, and then was drowned out by the shouting, like a grain of salt falling into the ocean.
