Girls' Dormitory Escape - Chapter 27

 Chapter 27: Classic Movie Appreciation (1)

     [Toilet Plunger (Level 3): Level 3 Object Ability, Proficiency: 45/1000]

    At this moment, under the basic information, in addition to the auxiliary ability of health point recovery that had been upgraded to the intermediate level, there was another defense breaking feature:

    [Elementary Attack: When attacking, there is a 0.5% chance of ignoring all the defenses of the target]

    [As we all know, there is a shield to defend from spears, but no one in the world has started to develop the defense against toilet plungers]

    Tang Xinjue lowered her eyes. To this point, the characteristics of the upgraded ability are still normal, then further down...

    [New function: Devour (Level 1)]

    [Function introduction: Inheriting the master's ferocious characteristics and urgent desire to become stronger, the toilet plunger decided to take a dietary supplement. It can devour all game items that contain energy with level lower than that of the toilet plunger, and there is a 3%-30% probability of inheriting some of the characteristics of the item.]

    [When new features are added, no master is innocent!]

(T/N: means that it is absolutely Tang Xinjue's fault that the toilet plunger got more and more absurd)

    Tang Xinjue: "..."

    It is obviously a powerful function, and it can be matched with the special shape of the toilet plunger. Coupled with its swallowing method, it will raise an indescribable strange feeling, which makes people feel complicated.

    The four of them watched helplessly as the rubber head "finished" the Phantom's stump, and spit out two pieces of ice, as if to express its fullness.

    Two seconds later, a beam of brilliance emerged from the plastic rod, forming a black skull mark the size of a fingernail.

    [Swallowing successfully, has inherited the attribute "shuttle".]

    Sensing the feedback from the power, Tang Xinjue raised her eyebrows, raised the toilet plunger and waved, feeling the same as usual.

    Since it belongs to the attributes of a phantom, plus this name... Tang Xinjue had a guess, took out her mobile phone and pressed it twice, and the ringtone rang from Zhang You's side.

    Zhang You was connected to the video call, and she was a little confused, so she asked, "Why are you calling me?"

    Before she finished speaking, she saw Tang Xinjue grabbed the toilet plunger and slapped the rubber head on the video screen—the next second, across the video call, the rubber head that was hit on the screen was unhindered, easily drilled out of her phone!

    Zhang You: "!!!"

    Tang Xinjue: "As expected."

    She pulled back the toilet plunger, and the toilet plunger on Zhang You's side disappeared. Both phones were intact, leaving no traces.

    The roommates who witnessed this scene with their own eyes: "..."

    "This is, the new function of your toilet plunger?" Zhang You came back to her senses, and felt a little familiarity in addition to her surprise: "Why do I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

    Witnessing this scene with their own eyes, Guo Guo and Zheng Wanqing looked at each other and said in unison, "Phantom!"

    In the winter dungeon, the scene where the Phantom stretched out from Tang Xinjue's phone left a deep impression on them, and they couldn't even forget it.

    Her roommates immediately reacted: "The toilet plunger has eaten the phantom's stump, so it has the ability of the phantom?"

    Tang Xinjue nodded: "Probably can only inherit one attribute at a time, its luck is not bad."

    Guo Guo also nodded thoughtfully, then picked up the lamp on her desk and swiped into the toilet plunger: "Jiu*! Eat a lamp and see, can it illuminate?"

*some sort of cutesy chirping sound effect

    "Pfft." The rubber head spat out the lamp in disgust.

    Tang Xinjue couldn't help laughing and crying: "It can only eat the items in the game, and the items must contain some kind of energy."

    "Is that so..." her roommates thought for a while, and then turned their attention to the same spot one after another - towards the old radio brought out from the last test.

    "Pfft." The rubber head spat out the radio again, and dipped a splash of water to show dissatisfaction.

    "It should not be able to eat anymore." Tang Xinjue came to a conclusion.

    For a certain period of time, the items that can be swallowed by the toilet plunger are limited, and it may also need to be "digested" after successful swallowing. Otherwise, it would be too buggy (T/N: would be absolutely OP) to just devour this one without limit.

    Even so, this unheard of "object-type power" finally looking like it has power.

    The toilet plunger squeaked and proudly spewed a stream of water.

    After reviewing the ratings and rewards, it was already nine o'clock at night. They were so hungry that their stomach rumbled, but instead of eating, they immediately opened the student mall.

    Last time, their wallet was too flat. They were holding tight to points and could only make do with it. Now the poor are getting rich, and they are suddenly confused.

    "What did I see! There is actually a self-service hot pot here!"

    Guo Guo drooled, "Mushroom soup, bone soup and seafood soup, after eating it, you can strengthen your physique... Slurp!"

    Zhang You patted her hand mercilessly: "Don't make impulse purchases!"

    Compared with their poverty-stricken condition in the past, the points now seem to be more, but compared with the wide variety of goods in the mall, by just looking, it's not even enough.

    In order to pass the exam safely next time, they must spend the money on the knife's edge.*

*at dangerous situation. That needs money. Everywhere now needs moneh...

    Five minutes later, Tang Xinjue and Zhang You compiled a shopping list.

    The list divides the things they want to buy in the dormitory into three types: life-saving essentials, evolutionary improvement, and auxiliary daily.

    As the name suggests, life-saving products are like Zhang You's malicious sensors, disposable protective props, etc., which are props that can save a life at a critical moment.

    The evolutionary improvement category is mostly an ability that enhances personal strength. It's just that these kinds of products are generally very expensive. The expensive ones like werewolf blood, golden bell hood iron shirts, and even stickman transformation are such bizarre abilities that they have more than 100 points, and they can't afford them now.

    The auxiliary category, like Tang Xinjue's Frozen Three-Foot Talisman, needs to be temporarily purchased according to the characteristics of different exams.

    After summing up, Tang Xinjue suggested: "We can make purchases according to our own characteristics and development direction. For details, we can refer to the personal evaluation of the test. For example, my direction is (damage) output, and when purchasing, I mainly focus on items that improve combat effectiveness."

    "Yes. Makes sense." Zhang You nodded and said with lingering fears: "I've been a jungler twice in a row, and I have an inexplicable premonition that it may be me next time. So just in case, you must prepare defensive props."

    This kind of thing, even if it happened in the game, would not surprise her.*

*I'm guessing jungler means she is usually thrown into a wild area. It has happened twice and both caught her by surprise.

    Guo Guo also has no objection. She has been an assistant twice in a row, and with the power of Yin-Yang Eye, the scope of picking items is naturally locked in the direction of the supernatural.

    The only one that was tangled was the carefree Zheng Wanqing.

    She was rated as a tank last time, this time as a support, and she hasn't awakened any abilities, so she doesn't know which position to choose.

    "The evaluation of the game is only one of them. The most important thing is your own characteristics and orientation." Tang Xinjue enlightened her.

    Zheng Wanqing held her chin, and the mirror on the table showed her delicate facial features. Even if she tossed in the dungeon for several days, her appearance level would not be reduced at all.

    "What are my characteristics?"

    Looking at her face in the mirror, the confusion in Zheng Wanqing's eyes gradually dissipated, and she came to a firm answer:

    "Then I'll be tank!"

    Then she opened the mall and started searching for "Wolfman Enhancement"; "Defensive armor"; "Can the phantom demon's stump limbs be tied back to the body?" ...

    Everyone: "..."

    ...

    Before going to bed, after eating and drinking, washing hands and burning incense, the four of them sat together again with a solemn expression.

    "Are you ready?"

    "Yes."

    Now, the most important moment has come.

    Open the student mall, and the red turntable is turning on the four mobile phones at the same time.

    Gacha time!

    Perhaps with the help of the [Excellent Freshman] buff, after drawing, almost everyone drew out items.

    Zhang You and Guo Guo got the shield, and Zheng Wanqing got the body strengthening. After checking it, the surprise of the three was beyond words.

    The only person who didn't draw out any props and abilities, Tang Xinjue: "..."

    Looking at the pile of biscuits, bread and mineral water that she had drawn, Tang Xinjue was in disbelief.

    She has been drawing lot ten times in a row, yet she still got nothing?

    The African Chief* is actually me?

*unlucky person

    And it came to the last lottery draw. After accepting the reality, she gave no hope and clicked.

    [Congratulations for winning the golden item: Achievement Exchange Machine!]

    A hand-sized red machine, like a small game console, fell. The gold color on the label signifies the specialness of the item level.

    The attention of the others was instantly attracted and they concentrated on the brand-new prop.

    [Achievement exchange machine: A prop that can exchange achievements into points. Different achievements have different values. The achievements that have been exchanged cannot be sold again. But don't worry, as an exchange machine, it is very fair, at least much more fair than a hypocritical businessman]

    "In short, with this item, achievements can be exchanged for money?"

    After everyone exchanged glances, they immediately began to rummage without saying a word.

    "I was wrong, I will no longer complain about the inexplicable achievements of the game being like a wholesale sale in the market."

    Guo Guo only has three achievements, namely [Ghost Attraction], [Coward], [Clear Eyes], can't wait to turn on the exchange machine, and after a few seconds, the machine gives an estimate: 2.5 points.

    The points were given to them, and the sound of money is instantly refreshed them.

    "If future generations have any record of us, I hope that in their records, (it will be said that) I used to get rich in the game by brushing achievement points at the age of 20." Guo Guo said.

    Tang Xinjue didn't have an urgent need for the points, so she decided not to exchange them for the time being, and only looked at the valuation.

    After pressing the fingerprint, the redemption machine was instantly swiped by the achievement points, most of which only had 0.5 basic points. Only two achievements were of different colors, and the valuation was higher:

    [The Fear of Ghosts: I may be a ghost, but you really aren't human!]

    [Whistleblower Master: No one knows the rules better than me, and the whistleblower system thinks so too.]

    All achievements can be exchanged for a total of 11 points. If there is an urgent need in the future, it could also be a large amount of income.

    Time passed quickly, and as it approached midnight, the feeling of exhaustion surged uncontrollably. The heavy footsteps in the corridor kept rubbing against the door, and the game was reminding them to fall asleep.

    Everything is ready, they just need to wait till tomorrow.

    When she woke up, Tang Xinjue subconsciously took out the toilet plunger and swiped, and relaxed after confirming that there was no danger around her.

    But soon, she realized something was wrong.

    The limbs were full of strength, the knuckles clucked when pressed, and there was no stagnation when she turned over. Compared with the previous body, her body now seemed to be re-joined!

    Thinking of something, she quickly opened the body information interface and found the answer.

    The four-dimensional attributes composed of reaction power, endurance, immunity, and physical strength have undergone earth-shaking changes after two exams and various bonuses.

    Originally, each attribute was only about 10 points, which was probably the normal standard for an ordinary person. Everything now basically range from 15 to 20 points, and her [Immunity] is the highest, which is now 27.

    If the change was not obvious last time, now that it had almost doubled, and the feeling was particularly clear.

    Her roommates who woke up also opened their eyes and kept touching their arms and legs, apparently feeling the same way. Zheng Wanqing was so excited that she flipped directly from the bed, making Guo Guo on the opposite bed sober on the spot.

    "Ding dong dong, dong dong ding-"

    "Happy Tuesday, class time is up, the test papers have been distributed, is everyone ready~"

    "Dear classmates, did you study hard today?"

    The unpleasant wake-up bell rang again, not giving a few people much time to prepare, and the exam on the APP has been refreshed.

    It's just that when a few people looked closely, they found that there were only two options this time:

    Volume A: "Human Anatomy"

    Volume B: "Classic Movie Appreciation"

    "Just looking at the name, I want to choose Volume B." Guo Guo stretched her neck up.

    Tang Xinjue stretched out her hand: "I'll take a look."

    [Appraisal] is the ability she bought from the mall yesterday, and it is limited to 10 times a day. It can be used at this time just to identify the difficulty of the exam.

    After triggering the ability, the appraisal results showed that the two exams are of the same difficulty, both of which are C grades.

    Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.  Considering that there were no medical students in the dormitory,  everyone would prefer to watch movies, and Volume B was quickly approved by unanimous votes.

    [Classic Movie Appreciation, as the name suggests, this is a course set up to improve students' aesthetic ability. As long as your appreciation is deep enough, I believe it is not difficult to get a high score.]

    [Note: This volume belongs to the course "Classic Movie Appreciation", and the corresponding course certificate can be obtained according to the test scores (except for the failed subjects)]

    They couldn't see anything from the introduction, so the four went into the mall to scan around, and jointly bought a one-time collective protective cover to prevent getting insta-killed at the beginning.

    [Ding, the registration is successful, the exam is loading...]

    [The classic movie appreciation exam has begun, the exam paper has been given, please work hard to answer the question!]

    The darkness dissipated, and when she opened her eyes again, Tang Xinjue found that she had not woken up from the bed like she had done in previous exams, but rather was sitting in front of her desk.

    On the desk, a movie was playing on the laptop:

    A headless body climbed down from the blood-stained wall and hugged the heads scattered on the ground. The head suddenly opened its eyes and faced the screen with a sinister smile.

    Along with the screams in the movie, Guo Guo's off-guard and frightened screams also sounded -

    Oh boy, what are they looking for in this "classic movie"??
