When they returned to the studio at night, Chen Qianlin took the initiative to treat Xie Mingzhe to a meal. Xiaopang even ordered a cake with "Happy New School" written on it. Xie Mingzhe was so amused that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm just going to school, is it necessary to be so grand..."

Xiaopang said, "Everyone is reluctant to let you go. It will be hard to adapt without someone if you leave."

Chi Yingying nodded in agreement: "That's right, even though you've only been in the studio for a month, I feel like we've known each other for a long time."

Xie Mingzhe felt a little warm inside. He had no family since he was a child. He remembered that when he went to school in his previous life, he dragged a big suitcase and sat on a hard seat on a train for more than 30 hours, coming from the far north to a southern city. The classmates around him were sent by their parents, but he was alone, and he felt indescribably uncomfortable.

Now, the school is just across the street and only takes ten minutes to get there, but everyone in the studio still enthusiastically assisted him.

The people he met in the new world made him feel the greatest warmth and kindness.

It’s great to get to know them.

Xie Mingzhe sniffed and said, "You guys are doing it in such a grand manner. I would be so embarrassed if I came back to see you tomorrow!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. Chen Xiao patted his shoulder cheerfully and said, "Welcome back anytime."

Chen Qianlin also said: "If you encounter any difficulties in school, you can go to Professor Liu of the Fine Arts Department. He is my college classmate and I have already greeted him."

Xie Mingzhe nodded vigorously: "I know!"

Chen Xiao took out a large box with exquisite packaging and pushed it in front of Xie Mingzhe: "This is a back-to-school gift from everyone."

Xie Mingzhe opened the box and saw a brand new helmet in it. The silvery metallic sheen made the helmet look extremely cool under the light. What was even more rare was that there were three very small words "Xie Mingzhe" written on the lower right corner of the helmet, which clearly showed that it was specially made.

He gently touched the smooth surface of the helmet, his fingertips trembling slightly, and said earnestly: "Thank you, everyone."

Chen Xiao said, "Don't be polite, we are all family. If someone bullies you after you get to school..." He paused, then looked at Xie Mingzhe seriously and said, "No, after you get to school, don't bully others."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Xie Mingzhe also laughed: "Don't worry, I have been an obedient student since I was young."

No teacher ever asked him to invite his parents because he knew he had no parents, so he worked harder than others.

Xie Mingzhe in this life had worked hard to get into university, so he would not give up easily.

***

The next morning, Xie Mingzhe said goodbye to everyone, carrying his suitcase, and reported to Imperial Capital University.

The brand new college life is finally about to begin. After going out, the air seems fresher than before and my steps are lighter.

Xie Mingzhe crossed a street and soon arrived at the university gate.

Imperial University is one of the best universities in the country. On September 1, all the freshmen came to the school to register. They all looked energetic. Xie Mingzhe had experienced two lives and had more experience than them. However, standing among a group of boys and girls, he was also infected by the youthful vitality of the students and felt that his mentality seemed to have returned to his student days.

High technology has brought a lot of convenience to school management. When students enter the school, they only need to swipe their ID card at the designated location, and all their information will be automatically entered. The ID card is also tied to the meal card and dormitory door card. The holographic screen projected by the optical computer will also quickly generate the student's assigned dormitory and a map navigation on campus.

Xie Mingzhe followed the map to the student dormitory area.

He was walking in the crowd carrying his luggage, and many people were looking at him.

Today he wore a simple white sports-style short-sleeved shirt, a pair of slim-fitting coffee-colored trousers, and a pair of flat sneakers. He looked simple and fresh, full of student spirit. The well-tailored trousers made his legs look straight and long. With his hair just cut, he looked energetic and his smile was sunny and handsome. He was exactly the image of the first love boy that girls liked the most.

When being stared at, Xie Mingzhe did not mind and responded with a polite smile.

There are many good-looking students in Imperial Capital University. Along the way, Xie Mingzhe saw several particularly beautiful and elegant girls. However, he only had an admiring attitude towards the girls and had no other thoughts.

Xie Mingzhe returned to the dormitory and put his luggage away.

Imperial Capital University is indeed wealthy and generous. The conditions of the student dormitories are unexpectedly good. In a double room, each person has a small bedroom, and the living room and bathroom are shared and kept very clean. There is also a desk and a large wardrobe in the bedroom. On the desk is a small fixed optical computer with the words "Imperial Capital University Intelligent Service Center" written on it. With a light touch of the finger, the student's personal information, class division, and the entire semester's course schedule will appear, as well as the entrances to various websites of the Academic Affairs Office, Logistics Office, and school forums.

Xie Mingzhe thought about how to use this service terminal, put his luggage away, and then went out for a stroll around the school.

The campus was larger than he had imagined. Each department had its own independent building. The building of the Academy of Fine Arts was designed with a strong sense of art. There were many famous works by famous artists hanging in the lobby, and there was also a large wall listing the excellent works of graduates.

The cafeteria has five floors. It was noon time and the place was full of people.

Xie Mingzhe was hungry, so he followed the crowd to find food and also tried the food in the school cafeteria.

He came to the third floor and looked at the buffet window. The rich food made him salivate. Xie Mingzhe immediately couldn't move. He quickly took a few plates of his favorite dishes, took the plates to the window and sat down, and started to eat happily.

Just as I was lamenting the beauty of college life, I suddenly heard a strange voice behind me: "Hey, what a coincidence, Yu Ke, why are you here?"

The man called Yu Ke said coldly: "Of course I came here to eat. Am I here to cause trouble like you?"

Xie Mingzhe: “…”

Young man, you are too direct. But why does this voice sound a little familiar?

Xie Mingzhe was gnawing on a chicken leg while pricking up his ears to listen to what was happening behind him.

The man was obviously unhappy after being scolded, and said coldly: "You are only good at talking, but you are nothing if you really fight."

Yu Ke said: "Then you who were abused by a hot chicken, aren't you even worse than a hot chicken?"

The man was scolded back again. He seemed to be trying hard to find words to refute, but he was at a loss for words. He just cursed "you idiot" and turned away.

This childish quarrel made Xie Mingzhe laugh and he couldn't help but look back.

The young man eating behind me had a very fair face, soft features, and was short and looked quite delicate. However, his mouth was extremely powerful, and he was sharp-tongued and unyielding. At this moment, he was eating noodles quickly with his head down. In a blink of an eye, he had finished a large bowl of noodles. Then he quickly picked up the second bowl of noodles next to him and continued eating.

Xie Mingzhe: “…………”

Is it because I am too hungry, or do I just have a big appetite?

He was very focused when eating. Xie Mingzhe looked at him for such a long time, but he didn't notice at all. All his attention was on the noodles, slurping them like a hungry squirrel.

Xie Mingzhe waited until he had almost finished eating before smiling and saying, "Hello."

Yu Ke raised his head and looked at him warily: "What are you doing?"

Xie Mingzhe praised: "I just heard you arguing with others. You are quite good at speaking. I want to get to know you. My name is Xie Mingzhe, a freshman in the Department of Fine Arts. What's yours?"

"I'm Yu Ke, a freshman in the law school. See you again someday!" The boy wiped his mouth and stood up to leave. Xie Mingzhe followed him and asked casually, "By the way, do you know how to play the game 'Star Card Storm'?"

"Play it, 90% of young people are playing this game." Yu Ke said as a matter of course.

"I just came to college and I don't know many people. I want to make some friends who are good at playing games so that we can play dungeons together in the future." Xie Mingzhe's smile looked sunny and pure, without any malice. He looked at Yu Ke seriously and said, "I don't have any relatives or friends in the game. It's too boring to play alone. Do you join a guild? Can you add me in?"

"..." Yu Ke stopped and looked Xie Mingzhe up and down, "Are you a newbie?"

"I just started playing last month." Xie Mingzhe was right. He just wanted to test whether the boy in front of him was Ke Xiaoke in the game. He thought the boy's clear voice was very familiar, and it was a good opportunity to confirm his master's guess. If he asked directly "Are you Ghost Boy?", the other party would definitely think he was a psychopath and would ignore him, so he tried to ask questions.

"Why don't you come with me to the playground and join the school's Star Card Association." Yu Ke seemed to have thought of something bad, scratched his hair irritably, and said, "There must be some people in the association that I hate, but... I heard that the Star Card Association of Imperial Capital University is particularly awesome, and there were two powerful professional gods here."

"Professional god? Could it be Tang Muzhou and Pei Jingshan?" Xie Mingzhe could only think of these two people.

"That's right! You know that too, right?" Yu Ke's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Tang Muzhou is from the School of Economics, and Pei Jingshan is from the Department of Philosophy. They are both our seniors. There are so many amazing alumni in our school, and the Star Card Association is full of experts!"

"Do you want to join?" Xie Mingzhe asked.

"..." Yu Ke was tangled up again, and his whole face was wrinkled when he was tangled up. Xie Mingzhe stood by and watched him struggle with his thoughts. Finally, the expression on the boy's face finally returned to calm, and he nodded firmly: "Join."

"Then let's go together." Xie Mingzhe also wanted to see how strong the university's card association was.

The two of them came to the playground together.

It is really lively here because many clubs are recruiting new members, including various dance troupes, choirs, adventure associations, tennis clubs, etc. Each major club is crowded with new students. College life is really rich and colorful.

The most crowded place is the "Star Card Association" recruitment point, which occupies an area as large as two basketball courts. Above the recruitment point is a holographic projection screen, where some exciting battle videos are played in real time. There are even a row of swivel chairs and smart helmets in the recruitment office. Many players are eager to sit on them and PK with seniors. There are also groups of three or four people discussing card decks, and the atmosphere is joyful.

Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke walked over side by side, and a beautiful senior with long straight hair immediately greeted them with a smile: "Are you two new students? Do you want to join our Star Card Association?"

The senior sister had a great figure and was beautiful. Yu Ke looked at her with shining eyes and said "hmm" in a crisp voice, "Yes, senior sister!"

Xie Mingzhe smiled at her generously and said, "Senior, are there any requirements for joining the association?"

The senior sister was very impressed by the handsome and smiling junior brother, and immediately brought Xie Mingzhe to the side and said, "As long as you like this game, we welcome everyone. Just register your information. However, those who have leisure cards need to go to the branch club. Our main club generally only recruits players who like to play in the arena. Can you two junior brothers play ranked games? Can I ask your ranks?"

"I just started playing, and I will play ranked games later." It's not that Xie Mingzhe wanted to lie, but the ID "Fat Uncle" has become popular in the gaming world recently, and the forums have been posted for several high-rise buildings. He doesn't want to expose his identity in school and cause unnecessary trouble. He plans to open a small account in the next two days to use in school, such as Tang Muzhou's small account 7456789, which no one can recognize.

The senior student looked at Yu Ke and asked, "What about you?"

Yu Ke said proudly: "I am the Star Card Master."

The senior student couldn't believe it: "Junior brother is also a master!"

"Not bad." Yu Ke said with a smile, his tone full of confidence, "I got it within a week."

"Awesome!" The senior student was obviously impressed by him and her attitude became more enthusiastic. "Can you tell me the ID in the game? Our school has its own group and often organizes friendly games for everyone. There are also many prizes. Junior brother can participate in more activities of the association."

"Okay. My ID in the game is Ke Xiao Ke."

Xie Mingzhe almost spit out his anger - it really was this guy!
