Chapter 52 Crazy Wednesday
…
Ten minutes later, Guo Guo burst into tears: "I'm sorry, I got addicted."
This time, all four people were wiped out on the lottery wheel, and even theThey didn't get any points, but there was a lot of mineral water, biscuits, and two cans of precious salted fish in the dormitory.
Zhang You sorted out all the supplies and said comfortingly: "It's okay. In life, nine out of ten people areRelying purely on luck to turn things around was obviously far from reality. They were still more suitable to being down-to-earth.
Even so, Zheng Wanqing felt very excited after seeing the new hope. She even ate several more biscuits in the evening, as if she was ready to enter a new dungeon instance right away to work hard to
Tang Xinjue dismissed her idea:
"Zhang You and I discussed it and thought we might have a day off tomorrow to rest and adjust. What do you think?"
Three consecutive exams, although only two days passed in the game, there were actually 9 different dungeons.
They had very little breathing time. Whether it was studying skills or reviewing exams, they could only rush through it under the tight schedule.
Zhang You nodded: "...I have never taken the time to count our specific materials and personal information. Also, although our physical fitness has been greatly improved now, we do not have corresponding training, which makes it impossible for us to exert our physical fitness advantage in the dungeon."
The props and skills sold in the mall included, in addition to supernatural powers, various physical attribute enhancements, and even martial arts, Qigong, etc. It could be seen that future exams will not be limited to supernatural dungeons, and they needed to make more comprehensive preparations.
After some discussion, the four reached a consensus.
Zhang You found a calendar and hung it at the door, and solemnly drew a circle on where tomorrow would be.
Wednesday: rest day.
…
Nearing the end of the night, before going to bed, several people took stock of their current asset status.
Tang Xinjue still has the most wealth. After adding some medicines and protective charms, she still has 45 points and nearly 30 redeemable achievements.
These assets hadn't been used by Tang Xinjue. She had her own plans, "I want to save enough points to redeem a spiritual skill."
In the student mall, there were only a handful of spiritual skills and props, and each one was expensive, starting with three-digit points.
But Tang Xinjue had an intuition: this direction was the most suitable for her.
In addition, she now has an awakening ability [Toilet Plunger Minion], a self-created skill [Mental Control], as well as a purchased auxiliary skill [Authentication] and a consumable skill [Ice Pick].
Although there were a lot of them, strictly speaking, except for the toilet plunger, the remaining abilities had not yet been studied carefully and played to their maximum effect.
The other roommates' situation was also very similar. Guo Guo wanted to strengthen her yin and yang eyes, but at the same time she was worried about not being able to defend herself, so she could only follow Zhang You to buy protective talismans. The two of them saved 10 points each for backup.
"Alas, money always seems to be abundant, but money is spent quickly. If you are not careful, you will be left empty-handed."
Guo Guo lay paralyzed on the bed, looking at the sky and crying.
Among the four, the one with the clearest goal was Zheng Wanqing. She focused on strengthening her fists. After selling her achievements, she only bought a 10-point medical kit. She also borrowed 10 points from Tang Xinjue and spent all her money to buy a [Sandbag-Sized Fist].
After skill fusion, [Iron Pot-sized Fist] was upgraded to level two, and the shadow attached to the arm was extended to 30 minutes. Although it was still limited, Zheng Wanqing was very satisfied.
After the first wave of purchases, everyone tidied up and found that the four of them had 65 points left in total, which was enough to deal with emergencies.
Tang Xinjue suddenly came up with an idea: "Actually, I also want to purchase dormitory enhancements."
Various props in the mall, in addition to corresponding to individuals, could also be applied to the dormitory. For example, the dorm door alone has four or five different strengthening modes, which could even be strengthened to the armor level.
The same goes for balcony windows, ceilings and floors.
In the daily necessities category, there were even air conditioners that automatically generate electricity, refrigerators that automatically cook, and even space expansion... But the price was so high that it makes people want to jump off the building. With the current financial strength of the four people, they could only look at the introduction and dreamed.
Although they couldn’t buy expensive items, they could get some basic tools.
Tang Xinjue sent the names of the items she was interested in to everyone, "I think these items are very suitable for decorating our bedroom."
Everyone looked at: [Second-hand nail rake] [A sledgehammer] [Barbed feather duster] [Wooden mace]...
"..."
Guo Guo's voice came from the quilt: "If I buy them all in the future, I think we can make a couplet at the door."
First couplet line: Gathering all the heroes in the world. Second line: Loyalty will last forever.
To summarize*: Liangshan hero!**
*Original text 横批 Hengpi is a horizontal calligraphy. It is horizontally
used along with couplets (which is usually vertical), it is generally used
to summarize, supplement and/or highlight the entire couplet.
**Liangshan hero, or 108 Generals, refers to the 108 leaders on Liangshan Moor in one of the four famous works "Water Margin". These one hundred and eight people have different personalities, strengths and endings. They are a classic group of characters in the history of Chinese literature. These couplets are featured in the work.

The next day, the piercing wake-up bell in the early morning woke everyone up from their deep sleep.
"Fortunately, we don't have to take the exam today... huh? Why is it only 6 o'clock?"
Guo Guo got up from the bed with a head of chicken feathers for a hair and looked at the time with a confused look on her face, her eyes were horrified:
"F*ck! Could it be that our exam time will be moved up two hours from now on to 6 o'clock?"
Even theTang Xinjue had already gotten out of bed and walked to the balcony window.
The wake-up bell still came from the white mist outside the balcony, but if she listened carefully, she could hear that it was slightly different from the previous two wake-up bells.
If she was to describe it, she could only say that today’s ringtone was... more festive?
"Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding-ding-"
About half a minute later, the ringing stopped, and what came next was not the familiar child's voice, but an exaggerated old man's voice:
"The sun rises every day, except Wednesday~ Congratulations to the students!"
"Are you still worried about the lack of money?"
“Are you still sad that shopping malls are expensive?”
"Want to receive a gift from the sky? Want to get the product of your dreams?"
"Crazy Wednesday, big sale time!"
The sound fell and everything returned to silence. Only the few people who had just gotten out of bed looked at each other silently.
Tang Xinjue pursed her lips: Crazy Wednesday? Big sale?
It sounds like the student mall was causing trouble.
Turning on the phone, a new message popped up in the mall:
[To encourage all students to study hard, our mall will hold a "Crazy Wednesday Sale" on Wednesday morning, two hours before the exam starts! ]
[The event is divided into the following two parts: 1. Gifts from heaven 2. Discounts at your door]
[Students please wait carefully and participate enthusiastically! ]
Immediately, they all discovered that there was an "Activity Progress" bar in the upper left corner of the mall, half of which was lit and half of which was dark.
The part that lights up is the "gifts from heaven" section.
Guo Guo rubbed her eyes: "Am I right? Are you trying to give us something??"
This game could be so kind?!
After a brief shock, the mood quickly turned to suspicion: Could it be that the game was digging holes for them again?
Tang Xinjue put away her phone and looked outside, with mixed emotions in her voice: "Whether it is a good thing or not, we will know soon."
Following her gaze, the three of them opened their eyes wide.
In the field of vision, the fog outside the window is gradually dissipating!
In just a few seconds, the white mist had already retreated outside the balcony railings, and that was only where it ended. The outside world is still completely shrouded, leaving only a space the size of a balcony.
They pushed it tentatively, and the balcony window was successfully pushed open! The influx of cool fresh air made a few people a little surprised.
Tang Xinjue and Zheng Wanqing walked out first, followed by Guo Guo and Zhang You. The moment their feet landed on the balcony, they suddenly had the real feeling of walking out of the dormitory since the game came.
"Look up quickly, there is light in the fog!"
Following their roommate's reminder, they looked up and faintly saw a row of red words deep in the white mist:
[Countdown to gifts from heaven: 1:59]
1:59, 1:58, 1:57…
Time quickly shrunk in seconds.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound from the right side, accompanied by footsteps and conversations, which instantly diverted the attention of the four people.
——It’s the dorm next door!
Before the game came, the balcony of their dormitory area was shared by two dormitories, and it didn't change after the game came. It's just that they hadn't contacted the outside world for too long, and their attention was attracted by game notifications. When they came out, no one immediately looked at the next door.
Now that the balcony could be accessed, does it also mean that they can communicate with the dormitory next door?
Guo Guo blurted out: "Yang Yan and the others are still there?"
She called out the name of the classmates next door in surprise: "Yang Mingyan! Hou Cenyue! Can you hear me?"
The next moment, the floor-to-ceiling window of the bedroom next door was opened, and several girls walked out carefully.
The moment they saw each other, the people on both sides were startled at the same time and said in astonishment:
"Who are you?"
