Chapter 53 Crazy Wednesday
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
Both groups of people blurted out at the same time, and the surprise on their faces turned into astonishment.
Looking up, the four girls walking out from next door were all unfamiliar faces, and the faces of the other girls were very wary. One of them even immediately pulled out the mop rod hidden behind her back and pointed it at Tang Xinjue and the others in a defensive posture.
Guo Guo was immediately frightened and took two steps back. A hand held her back in time and patted her shoulder comfortingly - it was Tang Xinjue.
After calming down her roommate, Tang Xinjue took a step forward and said in a calm tone, "We are students from Shanhe's University A."
The other party was stunned, and the tall and thin girl at the front also reacted: "I am from Beishi Normal University... my name is Liang Jing." The other party reported their place of origin.
*Normal university here means a model university, as in a mold for others.
Beishi? Normal University?
There was a moment of confusion in dormitory 606.
Geographically, the two schools are at least a thousand kilometers away. How could they suddenly appear next door?
Tang Xinjue observed the person in front of her. Her speech was clear and logical, without any sense of coldness or oppression. She didn't sound like a ghost or NPC - more like a college student like them.
She pointed to the dormitory behind her, nodded and added: "We are 606, Building 13, Hanoi Street Dormitory District."
The tall and thin girl who called herself Liang Jing immediately replied: "We are in Building 27, Xueyuan Street Living District, Dormitory 608."
Okay, now except for the corresponding dormitory numbers, everything else can be said to be completely irrelevant.
Moreover, if the dormitory in front of them was real... then where were their originally adjacent dormitories now?
Opposite me, the girl holding the mop pole couldn't help but ask, "Um, are you also the students who were dragged into the game?"
Before the four people in 606 could answer, Tang Xinjue suddenly noticed something and turned her gaze to the outside of the balcony. At the same time, she quickly reminded: "Be careful, there is something in the fog."
Deep in the white mist, the red countdown had returned to zero, and a burst of faint music fell from very high in the sky.
No, it was not just the music that was left behind.
"Be careful!"
Tang Xinjue pulled Guo Guo over, and Zhang You also pulled Zheng Wanqing, who was unable to move, to avoid it.
A black square cardboard box fell into the fence, staggered and turned over, inflating itself as if it was inflated - and then exploded in full view of everyone!
The black juice spread over an area of nearly one square meter, emitting a pungent stench.
Upon seeing this, the people in the dormitory next door exclaimed and hurriedly retreated into the house. Immediately, only Tang Xinjue's group of four were left on the balcony.
At this time, the phone vibrated and a new message popped up:
[Ding dong, the gift from heaven has officially begun! ]
"???"
They all looked at the unknown black liquid on the ground in silence.
You call this a gift??
"Unscrupulous businessman!"
Guo Guo angrily spurned them.
At this moment, another dark gift box fell from above at high speed. Fortunately, their physical fitness was no longer what it used to be, and because they were prepared, they easily dodged it.
This time the gift box hit the balcony tiles. It didn't explode like the last one, but collapsed into a flat piece like a deflated rubber ball.
A green, unknown substance spilled out from inside, accompanied by a strong and pungent rubber smell.
"What does the game mall want to do?" Zhang You frowned.
They were talking about giving gifts for promotions, but now it looks like they are throwing out expired and scrapped products. Are they treating the student dormitories as a garbage dump?
[Gifts falling from the sky: Countless gifts fall from the sky, can you catch the one you want?]
Tang Xinjue looked at the activity introduction, then raised her head to observe the white mist covering her field of vision. After thinking for a moment, she pulled out the toilet plunger and asked others to take out all the water basins in the dormitory.
"What are you doing with the basin? We don't really want to take it..." Guo Guo muttered as she came out. When she looked up, she saw another box hitting Tang Xinjue's head: "Jue Shen, be careful!"
However, he saw that Tang Xinjue did not avoid it. Instead, she raised her hand and quickly hooked the toilet plunger upward. The gift box was firmly placed in the rubber head.
There was no burst or leakage, and the small and exquisite red gift box exuded a soft halo.
The box was opened, and a card decorated with rose gold appeared inside: [Use this card and you will get a 12% discount on a single product. ]
Everyone's spirits were lifted.
This was a real gift!
Just as she put the red gift box into the dormitory, a new falling object appeared in her field of vision. After seeing that the box exuded an ominous black aura, Tang Xinjue did not hesitate to knock it sideways. Before the black box could explode, it was submerged into the white mist again.
After going back and forth for a few rounds, everyone finally understood the rules of "gifts from heaven".
At this stage, the white mist above everyone's heads will randomly drop gift boxes. If it was a black gift box, it means that it was a "fake gift", which means that it contains spoilage or dangerous substances and needs to be avoided or shot away quickly.
But if it was a gift box of other colors, it represented a "real gift" and you could safely accept it and receive the reward.
As time goes by, the speed and number of gift boxes falling are also increasing, with good and bad mixed up, which extremely tests their dynamic vision and reflexes.
The people in the dormitory next door gradually understood the rules, plucked up the courage to come out with a basin, and tried to imitate Tang Xinjue to accept the gift box.
However, within a few moments, the falling gift boxes were almost like dense hailstones - the girl holding a mop pole in the next dormitory accidentally punctured a fake gift box, and the fishy green liquid spilled all over her body, and the smell of rotten eggs suddenly spread.
"Blergh!"
*呕/ou, vomit, took some liberties to change it to vomiting sound
Guo Guo was also unlucky to win this lottery and almost fell to the ground due to the smoke. Moreover, wherever her skin touched, she began to experience stinging and burning sensations.
"Go back inside." Tang Xinjue decided decisively.
Back in the dormitory, as soon as the balcony window was closed, the crackling rain of gift boxes accompanied by black shells exploding one after another almost blackened the entire window.
Guo Guo hurriedly found the shower head to clean her body. Tang Xinjue and the other two, who were slightly injured and panting, needed to rest.
But compared to the injuries, the seven or eight gift boxes of different colors piled on the ground attracted their attention more.
The gift boxes were opened one by one, and there were many rewards inside: 88 discount card, a lucky draw opportunity, student points*1, snack gift pack...
The rewards were not big, but they add up to a lot!
Zhang You burst out with unprecedented action. While she quickly organized and stored the prizes, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and she had a rare dream: "It would be great if there were activities every day."
For the sake of supplies, she was willing to take the risk of collecting garbage!
After a while, the rain stopped outside and the balcony was already miserable.
A new countdown appears in the depths of the white mist.
Tang Xinjue read out the introduction of the next part: "The next segment is [door-to-door discounts] - there will be an exclusive salesman in each dormitory. If you communicate with him, you will have a chance to win a super grand prize!"
So the next segment was door-to-door sales?
Compared with the previous segment, this segment was obviously more exciting, and the words "super jackpot" stir people's nerves.
The four of them simply cleaned up and were about to discuss the next step when there was a cautious knock on the balcony window.
Liang Jing, the tall and thin girl, apologized: "I'm very sorry to disturb you. Do you have any anti-inflammatory ointment or bandages? My roommate Xu Wei was seriously injured by the things in those black boxes, but we have run out of medicine in the dormitory. If it's convenient... can I borrow some?"
Although she carefully considered her words, Liang Jing still looked very embarrassed and didn't have much hope.
The four of them looked at each other, and Zhang You took out bandages and burn ointment from the medical box, "Remember to rinse the wound with cold water first."
Guo Guo nodded and stretched out her arm: "It should be enough to bandage it like me, although I'm not very good at it."
Liang Jing was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, thank you!"
Nodding heavily to the four of them, she took the time to run back and apply medicine to her roommate.
As the first "same kind" they have seen since entering the game, the two parties wanted to communicate, but due to the current rush, they had no time to say more. In the blink of an eye, the countdown in the mist has ended again:
[Ding dong, the discount is coming to your door and it officially begins! ]
They all immediately tensed their attention and waited, listening carefully to all the movements in the outside world.
When a salesman comes to their door, does he walk in from the corridor, or does he drop from the balcony like a gift?
One minute, two minutes...
They waited quietly for five minutes, but still didn't hear any sound.
Another five minutes passed and still no change.
"This session is limited to 30 minutes."
Tang Xinjue stood up, frowned and looked around, "If the salesman really wants to come, it shouldn't be too late."
And since the rules said "there will be an exclusive salesperson in each dormitory," there would be no room for mistakes.
But why hadn't it come yet?
There were footsteps on the balcony, but it was not a salesman, but Liang Jing coming to return the medicine.
"Salesman? No one knocked on our dormitory door." Liang Jing sighed, obviously still having no hope for this: "The game will definitely not let us get these benefits easily. Who knows what difficulties it has set in it, maybe there are no salesmen at all."
From her tone, everyone seemed to hear the vicissitudes of being deceived by the game.
"You're right." Tang Xinjue nodded suddenly, "It's because we have fallen into a habit of thinking like that.
"The event introduction only said that a salesman would [appear] in every dormitory, but it did not say what image and form it would appear in, let alone what prompts it would have when it appeared.
"What if it has actually appeared in our dormitory, but we haven't discovered it yet?"
