Chapter 114 Cohabitation
After completing the new student registration procedures, Lin Zichen's next destination was the dormitory.
In order to get closer to him, the seniors at the registration office all vied to see him off.
In the end, it was a senior girl with long wavy blonde hair who overcame everyone else and won the right to lead him to the dormitory.
This senior is pretty, she would get at least 7 out of 10.
The most outstanding thing about her is that she has a very sexy and full figure, so sexy that it can tempt people to commit crimes.
Along the way, this senior student has been deliberately showing off her charm in front of Lin Zichen, trying to attract his attention.
However, Lin Zichen didn't fall for it at all and ignored her proud figure.
"By the way, Junior Zichen, there's the school's student battle rankings in the Rising Sun Square up ahead. Do you want to go take a look?"
As they passed a forest path, the senior student smiled and pointed to a square ahead and asked.
Lin Zichen was quite interested in the battle power rankings, so he smiled back and said, "Okay, let's go over and take a look. Thank you for leading the way, Senior Sister."
"It's not hard at all. It's an honor for me to be able to lead the way for this handsome junior."
The senior student kept a very low profile, and whether it was the smile on her face or the tone of her voice, she tried her best to please Lin Zichen.
But after a moment, the two of them walked to the so-called combat power list and stopped.
There are two combat power rankings, namely the peak ranking and the new ranking.
The Peak Ranking is a battle strength ranking list for all students in the school, with a total of 500 rankings.
The Freshman Ranking is a battle strength ranking list only for freshmen, with only 100 rankings.
Lin Zichen glanced at the two lists. The top list was filled with 500 students' names.
The new student list is blank.
After all, the school has just started and the freshmen have not played against each other yet, so they can't arrange it even if they want to.
As for ranking by college entrance examination scores, the school believes that it is unnecessary and feels that the college entrance examination is a thing of the past. Since you have entered the university, you should let your strength in college speak for itself.
Lin Zichen quickly scanned the top rankings.
The top three are advanced strongmen, the first and second are evolution students, and the third is a mechanical student, all of whom are senior students.
The 4th to 108th places are ordinary ninth-level creatures, all of whom are evolutionary creatures and mechanical creatures.
From 109th to 500th place are ordinary eighth-level creatures, almost all evolved creatures and robots.
The reason why I say almost is because there are three martial arts students on the list.
The three of them are seniors at the Martial Arts Academy, and are ranked incongruously at 389th, 453rd, and 498th respectively.
It can be said to be a glory of martial arts that these three martial artists are ranked so high despite being pure-blooded humans.
However, out of the 500 students on the entire peak list, there are only three senior martial arts students on the list. The difference in numbers is exaggerated.
It can be seen how vulnerable pure-blooded humans are in front of gene-fused humans and mechanically modified humans.
"Junior Zichen, these three martial arts students on the peak list are all members of the Tianren Pavilion, just like you."
In order to find topics to chat with Lin Zichen, the senior student took the initiative to introduce him to the martial arts students on the top list.
She continued, "These three had high enough college entrance exam scores to get into the Evolution Academy, but because they believed in the ideals of pure-blooded humans, they were recruited by Dean Liu to join the Tianren Pavilion."
"Without their faith, given their current physical strength, they would have long ago transferred to the Evolution Academy to embrace genetic fusion. Why would they stay in a martial arts academy with almost no future, toiling day and night to refine their bodies?"
"Wouldn't it be nice to eliminate gene fusion?"
"With gene fusion, as long as you have exotic beast genes, you can become stronger by simply fusing them. The effort required is much less than with the pure-blooded human path."
“I really admire all three of them.”
Admire them? Actually, she didn't admire them at all, and even thought these three people were a little stupid.
The reason why I say admiration now is mainly because I want to please Lin Zichen.
After all, Lin Zichen is a member of Tianren Pavilion.
If it were her, she would transfer to the Evolution Academy without hesitation and become a gene fusionist with a bright future.
Actually, it’s not surprising that she thinks this way. Martial arts students really suffer from discrimination in school and don’t have a good life at all.
Although martial arts students are in the inner campus and have the same learning environment as evolutionary students and mechanical students, many martial arts students do not do as well as cultural and art students in the outer campus after graduation.
Unless, in the later stage, he can transfer to the Evolution College or the Mechanical College and change his fate.
The adaptability of gene fusion and mechanical transformation can be improved through acquired training and will increase as the body becomes stronger.
However, the improvement is quite limited.
To sum it up in one sentence: 90% is determined by fate, and 10% depends on hard work.
The entire martial arts academy has been training their bodies to improve their adaptability until they graduate four years later. About 10% of the students will be able to change their fate and improve their adaptability to meet the requirements of genetic fusion or mechanical modification.
90% of martial arts students enroll in martial arts academies with the intention of changing their fate, and regard studying at a martial arts academy as the second college entrance examination in their lives.
As for the remaining 10%, they are poor students with poor academic performance but acceptable physical test data, who are forced to apply to the martial arts academy, and a very small number of them are members of the Tianren Pavilion who believe in pure-blooded humans.
"Junior Zichen, with your talent, you will definitely be able to reach the top of the list in the future. With your pure-blooded human body, you will break the record of martial arts students and directly enter the top 5 of the top list!"
After introducing the three martial arts students on the top list to Lin Zichen, the senior sister turned the topic back to him and continued to please him, hoping to win his favor.
Hearing the words "breaking the record", Lin Zichen asked curiously, "Senior, what is the record for martial arts students?"
"No. 6 on the Peak List."
After answering, the senior student continued, "This record was made by an old senior student named Song Yuyan from our martial arts academy. She made it at the beginning of her senior year."
"But within two months of the start of the school year, her ranking dropped from sixth to outside the top 20."
"Because her pure-blooded humans have reached a bottleneck, while everyone else is constantly getting stronger through gene fusion and mechanical transformation, and they are gradually being overtaken by various forces."
The senior student continued, "Now, this senior student has become a mentor at our Martial Arts Academy. She is also the top researcher at Tianren Pavilion and Dean Liu's most capable assistant."
"No. 6 on the Peak Ranking?"
Lin Zichen looked surprised and was a little stunned by this record.
Seeing the surprise on his face, the senior student smiled and explained, "The reason why Professor Song was able to reach the sixth place on the Peak Ranking with a pure-blooded human body was because he was the runner-up in the Kyoto College Entrance Examination and had an extremely strong physical talent."
At this point, the senior student said with some regret, "But even such a talented teacher Song, because he took the path of a pure-blooded human, even now, almost ten years later, his biological level is still stuck at the ordinary ninth level."
"Then, he became the poster child for geniuses lost in the crowd, often cited as a negative example."
"Every time I hear someone use Professor Song as a negative example, I get angry."
"Those people simply don't understand how great Teacher Song's sacrifice was."
"If one day pure-blooded humans can shine together, then Teacher Song will be a pioneer. How can those mediocre people be compared to him?"
As she spoke, the senior sister began to flatter Lin Zichen again, saying with a look of faith, "Junior brother Zichen, with your joining the Tianren Pavilion, the pure-blooded human group will surely shine in the future!"
After saying this, she thought Lin Zichen would show joy on his face and say something exciting like "I didn't expect you also recognize pure-blooded humans so much. You are my confidant, and we should keep in touch more in the future."
However, Lin Zichen simply said, "Hearing you put it that way, Teacher Song is indeed great."
Seeing Lin Zichen’s indifferent reaction, the senior student felt very disappointed.
Afterwards, the two left Rising Sun Plaza and headed towards the dormitory building.
Under the guidance of his senior schoolmate, Lin Zichen quickly arrived at his university dormitory.
It is a small single room with a bedroom, a bathroom and a balcony.
There is no other space besides this.
"Wow, is this the best dormitory room in the Martial Arts Academy?"
"The treatment for the runner-up in the college entrance examination is really good. I can live in an entire dormitory by myself. It's really enviable."
"Living here, I don't have to go to the hotel with my girlfriend anymore. I can just bring her back to the dorm. This will save me a lot of money."
The senior student said with envy as she looked at Lin Zichen's dormitory.
As she spoke, she was sweating a little, and she deliberately pulled at her collar to dissipate the heat, revealing a touch of her white chest in front of Lin Zichen, and hinted wildly: "Junior Zichen, it's so hot after walking all the way outside just now. Can I take a shower here with you and feel comfortable?"
Lin Zichen knew what she was thinking and skipped the question directly. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Senior. There happens to be a milk tea shop opposite the dormitory. In return, I will treat you to some milk tea."
"Alright."
The senior sister was not stupid. Seeing that she couldn't seduce Lin Zichen at all, she gave up temporarily and chose to go downstairs with him to drink milk tea.
To avoid being too enthusiastic and scaring Lin Zichen away.
As a woman who has experienced many love affairs, she has a deep understanding of the principle that too much is as bad as too little.
Came to the milk tea shop opposite the dormitory.
Lin Zichen spent more than 30 yuan to treat his senior sister to a cup of milk tea with plenty of ingredients.
Seeing that he had repaid the favor of showing the way, he drank his cup of milk tea in a few gulps, and then turned around and went back to his dormitory regardless of the senior student's attempts to keep him.
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, he received a WeChat message from Shen Qinghan.
When she opened it, she saw many photos of the dormitory taken by Shen Qinghan, saying that this was the personal single room prepared for her by Yuan Dongzhi.
After clicking on these photos, Lin Zichen suddenly felt that his small single room was not so attractive.
Shen Qinghan's dormitory has a training room, a large living room, a large balcony, a large bathroom, and even a large bathtub for bathing. It is an extremely luxurious apartment.
Compared to this luxurious apartment, my own small studio is so downgraded that even a dog can’t live in it.
【Hanhan: Xiaochen, have you arrived at the dormitory? 】
【Zi Chen: We’re here.】
[Hanhan: Come on, take a picture of your dorm room and show it to me.]
【Zi Chen: ……】
Lin Zichen replied with a string of ellipsis, then turned on the video function on his phone, recorded the inside and outside of his small single room in a video and sent it to Shen Qinghan.
Shen Qinghan was a little surprised after looking at his dormitory.
This small single-room dormitory is so shabby compared to my own luxurious apartment.
It feels like comparing a thatched house to a palace.
[Hanhan: Your dorm is too small. Why don't you move in with me? The bed there is bigger than the one at home.]
【Zi Chen: Move, we must move! 】
[Hanhan: Where is your dormitory? I'll come find you now and help you with your luggage.]
[Zi Chen: I don't have much luggage, I can carry it by myself. Just tell me the address of your dormitory.]
【Hanhan: All right then.】
[Hanhan: My dorm is near the inner campus entrance, Building 8, Zhongyuan, Dormitory 603.]
【Zi Chen: Okay, I'll be there right away.】
After replying to this message, Lin Zichen picked up his luggage and left without any hesitation.
If you have a luxury apartment but don’t live in it, you are mentally ill.
…
Building No. 8, Zhongyuan, is a high-end dormitory building built by Jinhua College at its own expense, specifically to recruit college entrance examination geniuses from all over the country.
At the entrance of the building, there are two statues that are almost as tall as a person.
On the left is a dragon riding on the clouds, and on the right is a dancing phoenix.
The dragons and phoenixes are flying and dancing, and it looks very grand.
When Lin Zichen arrived at the dormitory building and saw the dragon and phoenix at the entrance, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Compared with the high-end dormitory building of Evolution College, the small single room he was assigned to was simply a shoddy "doghouse".
And this "doghouse" is actually the best dormitory in the martial arts academy.
This made him doubt whether Liu Chuanwu, as the dean of the martial arts academy, was able to fulfill his promise of triple benefits.
The triple benefits discussed at the beginning mainly refer to the benefits of evolutionary resources, such as exotic beast meat, rare flowers and fruits, pills that can increase qi and blood, etc.
But after comparing the treatment in the dormitory building, he felt that this was a bit risky and worried that Liu Chuanwu could not afford to pay triple the benefits.
He shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
Lin Zichen took the elevator to dormitory 603 where Shen Qinghan was, and stood outside the door to send her a message saying that he had arrived.
Less than a second after the message was sent, the door in front of him opened.
Shen Qinghan, wearing a dress, stood at the door and said, "Xiaochen, come in quickly. I turned on the air conditioner in the living room. It's super cool."
Lin Zichen dragged his suitcase in and looked around the room curiously.
Very big and spacious.
The floor and ceiling were very clean, without a speck of dust.
Obviously, this cleaning was not done by Shen Qinghan, but was done before she moved in.
"This dormitory is so luxurious and clean. It can be seen that your cheap master still cares about you. It's not in vain that he has this master."
"I think so too. Master is really good to me."
Shen Qinghan smiled sweetly with her beautiful eyes curved.
After a brief chat, the two quickly unpacked their suitcases and began to set up the dormitory.
It took about half an hour to set up everything.
Towels, toothbrushes, slippers and other daily necessities are neatly arranged, which looks very comfortable.
"Xiaochen, from now on this will be our own little home. Mom and Dad are not around, so no one will bother us even if we run around the house naked."
Shen Qinghan sat casually on the ground, looking at her luxurious apartment with a smile on her face. She was looking forward to living together with Lin Zichen.
Lin Zichen was a little convinced: "What do you mean by running around the house naked? Don't be so presumptuous."
"Oh, that was just an exaggeration about freedom of expression!"
Shen Qinghan was speechless.
Then, she stood up and walked towards the bathroom, saying as she walked, "I worked up a sweat when I went to register for freshman orientation. Now that the sweat has dried, I feel sticky. I need to take a shower."
Seeing her go into the bathroom empty-handed, Lin Zichen reminded her, "You didn't even take any clothes with you. Do you want to come out naked later?"
"I've already walked into the bathroom and I'm too lazy to go out and get it. Can you help me get it later?"
Shen Qinghan now completely treats Lin Zichen as her husband and plans to live with him like a married couple.
After all, the two grew up together and are extremely familiar and understanding of each other. In fact, there is no difference between them and an old married couple.
Soon, Shen Qinghan's humming could be heard in the bathroom, sounding very leisurely and comfortable.
Lin Zichen walked to the sofa and sat down. He took out the student handbook he received when he registered from his schoolbag and started reading it out of boredom.
The content inside mainly consists of two parts.
The first is to introduce the characteristics of the school, and the second is to explain the school's rules and regulations.
Lin Zichen flipped through the book quickly, and when he saw the introduction to credits, he immediately became interested.
At Shanhai University, credits are equivalent to contribution points in the sects in immortal cultivation novels, and can be exchanged for various evolutionary resources in the school.
To find out what you can redeem, you can download a school app.
The school app has a mall section that is like a shopping platform, where students can use credits to redeem various evolutionary resources.
Following the instructions in the student handbook, Lin Zichen quickly downloaded the Shanhai University app.
Then log in to your student account, find the mall page and click in to broaden your horizons.
The webpage opened very quickly, and the mall page was displayed in less than a second.
Then, what caught Lin Zichen’s eyes were many evolutionary resources that could not be bought even with money.
There is meat of exotic animals that have never been seen before.
There are exotic animal gene reagents.
There are exotic flowers and fruits.
There are mechanically modified parts.
There are also various advanced weapons and equipment, etc.
At a glance, they are all rare resources that cannot be bought outside even if you have money. They are specially provided by the school.
“They’re all good stuff.”
Lin Zichen looked at the things in the mall and his eyes almost lit up.
Unfortunately, as a freshman with no credits, no matter how good the product is, I can only look at it but not buy it.
So, how do you get credits?
Thinking about this, Lin Zichen picked up the student handbook and continued to read the introduction about credits.
After reading it carefully, I learned that there are three ways to obtain credits.
1. Strive to be on the top list or freshman list. Students on the list will receive credit rewards every month.
2. Accept tasks assigned by the school and receive credits as rewards after completing the tasks.
3. Representing the school in competitions and achieving excellent results can earn credits.
I used to think about how to make money in college to buy exotic beast meat to devour, but now I don’t have to think about it anymore. I just need to think about how to earn credits.
Just as Lin Zichen was thinking about this, Shen Qinghan's voice came from the bathroom:
"Xiaochen, I'm done washing. Please bring me some clothes. Just a dress will do. No need for underwear!"
Shen Qinghan was used to not wearing underwear right after taking a shower, because her body was wet right after taking a shower, and she needed to ventilate the body to evaporate the moisture before putting on underwear.
"Okay, I'll come!"
Lin Zichen responded and went into the room to get clothes for Shen Qinghan.
As she said, I only took a dress.
"Crack—"
Lin Zichen opened the bathroom door and saw Shen Qinghan taking a bath in the bathtub. A pair of white and smooth shoulders were exposed on the water surface, which looked quite tempting.
Especially the cheeks were red from the hot water, giving off a beauty like a lotus emerging from water.
Lin Zichen didn't look at it any further, hung the skirt against the wall and was about to leave.
"Xiaochen, it's so comfortable to take a bath in this bathtub. Do you want to come in and take a bath with me?"
As if worried that Lin Zichen wouldn't take a bath, Shen Qinghan added, "It's such a big tub of hot water. If I'm the only one taking a bath and then drain it away, that would be such a waste."
Seeing that Shen Qinghan, a girl, had said so much, Lin Zichen felt that it would be very rude if he didn't hang out with her.
"Then go clubbing."
After Lin Zichen finished speaking, he took off his clothes in front of Shen Qinghan, walked to the shower head and rinsed his body, and then went in to take a bath together after he was clean.
As for being honest in front of Shen Qinghan, she had seen and touched him in the room that night anyway, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
After rinsing his body in a few strokes, Lin Zichen sat in the bathtub and took a bath face to face with Shen Qinghan.
After soaking for a while, he looked at Shen Qinghan in front of him and asked, "By the way, I've learned back rubbing from watching videos online before. Do you want to try it?"
"OK."
Shen Qinghan blushed slightly and nodded in a soft voice.
After saying that, she turned her back to Lin Zichen and asked Lin Zichen to rub her back.
Lin Zichen had only learned how to rub someone's back by watching videos online before, but this was the first time he actually did it for someone.
But even so, when he rubbed Shen Qinghan's back, his technique was still terrifyingly skillful, and he looked better than many old masters who had been in the bathing business for decades.
[You are rubbing Shen Qinghan's back. Hand Dexterity +1, Back Rubbing Proficiency +1]
"That's weird. I saw in the video that mud comes out just by rubbing it casually, but why can't I see any mud after rubbing it on your back for a long time?"
Lin Zichen rubbed Shen Qinghan's smooth and white back for almost ten minutes, but strangely, he didn't get any mud out, which was very unreasonable.
Shen Qinghan said with a little pride: "Of course it's because I like to be clean."
"No matter how much you love cleanliness, it's impossible not to rub out any mud at all. That's unscientific."
Lin Zichen added, "I think it has something to do with your special water-attributed constitution, which makes your skin naturally clear."
"It should be."
Shen Qinghan nodded in agreement.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never rubbed mud out of herself when taking a bath, and has always been aware of the clean nature of her body.
However, at that time, I didn’t think of it as any water-attributed superpowers.
The more Lin Zichen rubbed, the more incredible he felt. He envied her and said, "You really have a divine physique. Your body never gets dirty, and even your sweat smells fragrant. It's a bit too incredible."
"Are you envious?"
"I'm so jealous."
Lin Zichen admitted it honestly.
Shen Qinghan smiled, then turned around to face him and said, "Master Xiaolin, you have been rubbing my back for so long, it's Master Xiao Shen's turn to rub yours."
"Okay, then let me experience Master Xiao Shen's back-rubbing technique."
Lin Zichen smiled and turned around to enjoy the warmth of Shen Qinghan's jade hands.
However, Shen Qinghan said, "No need to turn around."
"?"
Lin Zichen thought Shen Qinghan was going to rub his back, but it turned out not to be the case at all.
…
