Chapter 288: Arriving at Qingjing University

On the other side, his consciousness grew hazy; when he regained awareness, Zhou Yi and the others were already inside Qingjing University.

"Is this Qingjing University?"

"Compared to our school, it feels completely different!"

"Whoa, is that a mechanical floating island in the distant sky?!"

"......"

Jiang Churan, Song Xialan, and the others also came to their senses and curiously scanned their surroundings.

They stood on a vast square, beneath their feet a lingering Profound magic array still humming with teleportation energy.

In the distance, the various buildings of Qingjing University were clearly visible.

Compared to Suzhou University, Qingjing University, located in the provincial capital of Zhongxia Nation, Qingjing City, was far more technologically advanced, saturated with sci-fi atmosphere.

Holographic projections lined the sides of skyscrapers, and even small pavilions offered services from intelligent robots.

Even in the distant sky, four mechanical floating islands hung motionless!!

You must know that the "963" mechanical floating islands are incredibly expensive to build, yet Qingjing University has managed to construct four of them!!

This alone proved Qingjing University's immense wealth.

Around the mechanical floating islands, numerous students soared freely—some riding flight boards, others mounted on anti-gravity mechanical flyers.

"This is literally a mechanic's paradise!"

Jiang Churan exclaimed.

If Suzhou University, where students habitually ride magical familiars and beasts, resembled high fantasy,

then Qingjing University was undeniably pure future sci-fi!!

Extremely cool!

"In fact, many mechanics have come specifically to enroll in Qingjing University."

Zhou Yi nodded with a smile.

After the Eternal Game merged with reality, the person who succeeded as president of Qingjing University was a Level 3 Transcendence peak mechanic.

Although this mechanic served as president for only ten years,

over the following centuries, Qingjing University faithfully preserved this style.

It turned the entire university into a mechanic's paradise!!

As everyone gazed curiously at this other top-tier university, a welcoming voice suddenly rang out:

"Welcome, teachers and students from Suzhou University! Your arrival fills Qingjing University with great honor!!"

Before them stood a group of instructors dressed in Qingjing University instructor robes.

The one leading the welcome speech was a middle-aged man.

He was tall and slender, clad in a gray-white robe woven from nanoscale mechanical units.

On his wrists and earlobes, he wore various mechanical ornaments capable of instantly transforming into terrifying weapons.

Undoubtedly, he was an extremely powerful mechanic!!

"Dean Wu, it's been a year—you still look as sharp as ever!!"

The middle-aged man led his group of instructors toward Wu Mang.

"Dean Cheng, you too!"

Wu Mang smiled and stepped forward to meet him.

Cheng Yongchun, Level 56, Level 3 Transcendence mechanic.

Dean of the Mechanical College at Qingjing University, and over the years, the team leader who competed against Wu Mang in Qingjing University's exchange competitions.

Though past student rivalries in exchange competitions had strained their relationship,

Wu Mang now represented Suzhou University, so he showed no emotion—his expression remained perfectly natural.

"Haha, Dean Wu, I've got other schools to welcome, so I won't personally escort you to your dorms."

"Xiao Wei, you take Dean Wu and the others there."

After the pleasantries, Cheng Yongchun gestured, and a beautiful female instructor stepped forward from the group, bowing respectfully:

"Teachers and students, you've traveled far—thank you for your hard journey.

Now, please follow me; I'll lead you to your accommodation and rest area..."

"Alright, old Cheng, we'll meet you on the competition grounds then!"

Wu Mang gave a slight nod.

All ten universities entering the final round of the National University Freshman Exchange Competition arrived at Qingjing University today.

He knew the man would be extremely busy afterward.

So he led Zhou Yi and the others behind the female instructor, walking into Qingjing University.

"The National University Freshman Exchange Competition finals begin on November 1st. For these next few days, teachers and students may freely explore Qingjing City."

"Although Qingjing University isn't in the city center, it's less than twenty kilometers away, and the school operates a dedicated shuttle bus."

"The shuttle stops right outside your accommodation area—just tell the driver your affiliation, and you ride free..."

"......"

The ten universities participating in the National University Freshman Exchange Competition came from across the nation.

Among them were not only team leaders but also a large number of highly active students!

Through them, Qingjing University and Qingjing City could be effectively promoted.

Thus, along the way, the female instructor kept talking nonstop.

Admittedly, this instructor's level was low—possibly even lower than Su Mei's, who had only just become an instructor.

But she had impeccable timing: the moment she sensed disinterest in a topic, she immediately switched to another.

Because the Eternal Game merged with reality, the area of Blue Star expanded, and the distance between every province and city became extremely far.

On top of that, one had to pass through many dangerous zones to get back and forth, so many people in their entire lives couldn't even leave their own province once!

Zhou Yi and the others had it slightly better, but for the most part it was also their first time coming to Qingjing University, coming to Qingjing City.

They were very curious about this provincial capital of Zhongxia Nation.

Having a teacher introduce things at this point was just convenient for them to get to know this city......

Ten minutes later, led by the female teacher, Wu Mang's group stopped in front of a villa.

"All the teachers and students of Suhang University, this is your accommodation villa during the Exchange tournament phase."

"There are two villas in total, one is the teachers' villa, one is the students' villa."

"The teachers' villa is divided into upper and lower layers, with a total of eight bedrooms."

"The students' villa has a total of four layers, with a total of twelve bedrooms."

"Besides the bedrooms, each villa also has a training room, a media room, a reception room......"

Upon reaching the accommodation area, the female teacher began introducing the lodging conditions.

There were twenty villas in total, with every two forming a group, used respectively to house the mentors and students of ten different universities.

Each villa's area was very large, at least seven or eight hundred square meters.

It was more than enough to house the ten-plus people from each school.

These twenty villas were connected together, forming a circle, built around a 5.0 artificial lake.

It was currently morning; the sunlight shining down from the eastern sun scattered across the lake surface, making it shimmer......

"Currently none of the villas have fingerprint locks set up yet, please be sure to set yours after moving in......"

After a round of introductions, the female teacher respectfully withdrew.

"Take your own luggage, first go into the villa and put your things away, then come back down to assemble......"

Wu Mang waved his big hand, and four or five suitcases appeared on the ground in front of the villa.

Although it was the final grand finals of the Exchange tournament, the entire competition period was also nearly a month-plus long.

Therefore, everyone had brought their own change-of-clothes luggage.

Because Zhou Yi and the others didn't have their own spatial rings, they had temporarily stored theirs with Wu Mang.

Carrying their respective suitcases, the group, who found everything around them very fresh, also entered the villa chatting and laughing.......
