Chapter 107: Surprise Hygiene Inspection
[Is it compliant and legal for the Academic Affairs Office of the University City to abuse its power under false pretenses and send students to a pheasant university that operates without a license in the name of exchange students?]
In the face of this question, customer service was silent for two seconds: [Student want to report?]
Tang Xinjue: [Just asking.]
Customer service: ...
Spending academic credits to call the customer service, then listed all their crimes with murderous intent, just to “ask”?
Don't try to cheat it, it was no longer the silly and sweet one* who first met Tang Xinjue!
*傻白甜, literally stupid white sweet, alluding to someone cute and adorable but very naive
So the customer service was very vigilant to answer: [The rules have been changed, reporting and counseling functions are separated. For counseling, please press 1, for reporting, please press 2.]
Tang Xinjue: [What about counseling and reporting together?]
Customer Service #1: [Requires the consumption of 2 credits]
“???” The 606 candidates gathered around were shocked, “This can still go up in price?”
The process that once upon a time only required spending 1 credit to complete was now directly doubled, and the purpose of muzzling the candidates was simply blatantly obvious.
Tang Xinjue pondered slightly, “Understood.”
Then she pressed the 1 button.
Customer Service #1: [... If you back out now, you can revoke the instruction and not deduct credits.]
Tang Xinjue: [1. Don't make me send it a third time.]
Under Tang Xinjue's resolute attitude, customer service finally reluctantly deducted credits: [Regarding the issue you raised, the University City Education Center has been assigned to look into it, and no relevant rules or precedents have been found.]
Tang Xinjue quickly pursued: [Is it that no one has reported the Academic Affairs Office before, or is it that the power of the Education Center is unable to influence the Academic Affairs Office?]
Customer service once again fell silent.
Tang Xinjue waited with a sinking breath, and her roommates also realized what was going on and stared intently at the customer service interface waiting for a reply.
Perhaps the information that the customer service answered next was the most crucial part.
After a long time, the screen popped up with the answer: [All relevant units in the university city are under the jurisdiction of the education center. The education center archives have no relevant reporting records].
Success!
Tang Xinjue hooked up the corner of her mouth: [2, I want to report.]
...
When Tang Xinjue ended the accusation, the last sentence also showed that it had been received. Guo Guo's trio was already in a trance, feeling like they had really witnessed a conspiracy deal between two “Academic Affairs Offices”, and they were the little wretches who had been sent out as sacrifices.
Although they had not yet seen each other, the image of the Academic Affairs Office of the University City in their minds had already changed into a group of sinister and treacherous middle-aged people.
Guo Guo asked in a trance, “Jue Shen, is the University City Faculty Office really that dangerous?”
They weren't the student ghosts in the dungeon that had already shed their bones. Once they fell into the hands of the dominant Academic Affairs Office, wouldn't they become fish meat on a chopping board?
Tang Xinjue turned off the dialog box, “Half of it is guessing and half of it is made up, don't take it to heart, it's not much of a reference.”
Guo Guo: “...”
Zhang You's thoughts extended to a more distant place, a little worried, “Then, if you do this, will you be vindicated by the Academic Affairs Office?”
Just like the previous Four Seasons Protection Guide exam that was initially reported by Tang Xinjue, the teacher of this class had already held a grudge against the whistleblower to the extent that a bounty was put up all over the University City. Although it was an anonymous report, given the sensitivity of information between ghosts and monsters, Tang Xinjue's identity was likely already known.
Tang Xinjue didn't think further: “If the report is successful, that's for sure.
“But if we don't report it, will we be spared?” She changed the topic and laughed, “Just like what I just said to customer service, regardless of whether or not the Academic Affairs Office was acting with malice, it sent us into a dungeon that was dangerous to the extreme. If it can do this once, it can do it a second and third time. When we do die in the dungeon one day, it won't have any effect on them.”
Their lives were as if they were insignificant ants in the game, and they were crushed silently.
"So, we are already in the most vulnerable position as students. Can't we take advantage of the rules?" Tang Xinjue spread her hands: "If we can take advantage of it, we will make a profit. If not, we won't lose either. At worst, we can just find someone else next time."
Points, props, attributes... These were the most important resources for survival. If they honestly waited for the game to issue them, the speed at which they became stronger will never match the difficulty of the game.
Facts had proven that what they need to do was not to wait, but to fight the game - the way out was not obtained by waiting, but by snatching it!
Besides, more vengeful debts were better than nothing. She was now like a target with many arrows stuck in it, and the high-level ghost mark was still floating in her sea of consciousness. Even if the person who was reported wants to seek revenge, they had to wait in line first.
“...”
Goody, goody. The three of them were speechless about this act of taking advantage of others*, and even began to think it made sense.
*雁过拔毛, literally pluck feather from wild geese , meaning to take advantage of others
This feeling reached its peak when they saw the “dungeon harvest” Tang Xinjue took out.
“Wait, why is it that if you're also being given gifts by NPCs, you have two sacks and I only have one school bag?”
Guo Guo's eyes widened as she voiced a question from the bottom of her heart at the sight she was seeing at the moment.
After reviewing the dungeon, she knew that the dream at the end of the dungeon, where she lived as a student of the Hongxin Academy, was something that each of them had experienced, only that they couldn't see each other in the dream. At the end of the dream, Jiang tongxue and other sisters can be said to be very generous, to give each person a full “graduation gift”.
These gifts are brought back to the dormitory together with the dungeon, and they are different in the hands of each of the four people.
Like Guo Guo's schoolbag most of the snacks. The rest were an eye mask, an earplug, a purse, and other small things. Identified by Tang Xinjue skills, these small objects have a weak protective power. In the face of ghosts and monsters, they could also play a psychological comfort role.
Guo Guo: “... Although I don't want to admit it, it does fit me better.”
Zhang You's book bag, on the other hand, was loaded with many functional supplies, and almost all the cleaning supplies she had seen in the dungeon were brought back, taking them out to almost fill up the entire wash area.
Zhang You fell into deep thought, “Will there be a second-hand trading market in the game later?”
Zheng Wanqing unzipped her school bag, and a pair of huge boxing gloves had stuffed it to the brim, and in the gap was the crumpled Fitness Guide, which she had lovingly collected and decided to practice tonight.
And finally when it came to Tang Xinjue, several people were dumbfounded by the two burlap sacks that fell from the sky.
These two burlap sacks, any one of them almost had the capacity of three school bags, not to mention the volume that was stuffed to bursting. It was not like the gifts… It looked more like someone just swept the dormitory building clean.
Guo Guo shouted out the unfairness: “This differential treatment was also too much!”
Zhang You, on the other hand, was worried, “Xinjue, you didn't make a move on Jiang tongxue and the girls, did you?”
Zheng Wanqing was even more blunt: “You went to rob them? Were you injured?”
Tang Xinjue guffawed, “Didn't make a move and didn't rob them. I just exchanged friendly words with them during the gift-giving session. Anyway, after they graduated and officially became game NPCs, these small props are all extraneous, so I collected them all back.”
“Officially becoming game NPCs? 'Zhang You caught the word, ‘Are you saying that Jiang tongxue and the girls will be like Little Red in the future, specializing as ghosts and monsters in various dungeons?’
Tang Xinjue nodded as she unwrapped the sack, “You could say that. Do you remember those students who disappeared from the 9th floor? They were the ones who were called away by the game when the dungeon was just forming, that's why we couldn't find any trace of them inside.”
Two large bags were unwrapped, and looking at the wide array of “gifts” piled up on the floor, everyone finally felt that they had made a lot of money.*
*盆满钵满, literally the basin and bowl are full of money, meaning someone was well-off after making loads of money
From pots and pans to door locks, bed curtains, umbrellas and light bulbs, they could almost assemble an entire dormitory. Even Tang Xinjue picked up a piece of safety lock and weighed it, but also could not help but smack her lips: “They are all enchanted.”
This wave of theirs was equivalent to empty-handedly using countless cheap props from the game mall, and it was more than enough to redecorate the dormitory once again!
While everyone was still immersed in the sentiment of “making a fortune”, Zhang You had already put on her gloves in silence and started assembling the items.
Facing the gazes cast by her roommates, Zhang You spoke succinctly:
“Renovation.”
Everyone: “!!!”
The completeness of the dormitory was also an important factor in judging the score of the exam.
In the past, any random ghost could turn their dormitory upside down, just like the opponent parachuting into the fountain to dance in a tower defense game, which was very humiliating and insecure.
Now that they finally have the materials, it’s time to upgrade their small dormitory.*
*original text literally said ‘upgrade muskets to big guns’
