Chapter 30: Eccentric Roommates

Bunker Year 2061, July 17th.

As the epidemic gradually eased, the upward channel for the lower levels was gradually opened.

Some of the new students of the Three Towers Academy also regained the opportunity to return to the academy.

On July 18th, they would welcome their first class.

In the student dormitory, by July 17th, it was basically full of people.

People from all levels and all corners began to get to know their roommates.

Although the Three Towers Academy managed students according to a class system, because students needed to form teams to participate in mock exams, classes were actually subdivided into many teams.

Although those in the same team were not necessarily in the same dormitory, in student days, the relationship with roommates was the fastest to improve.

Most people were also more willing to build trust with their roommates and then form small teams.

Therefore, getting along with roommates seemed extremely necessary.

Many people had already arrived at the dormitory before July 17th.

Wang Yueyun originally thought he was the earliest to arrive.

Ever since he witnessed the peer genius Wen Xishu moving a Level 6 facility with his own strength, changing the fate of countless people...

The pride in his heart vanished, and he had vowed to make himself work hard and become the most dazzling one among the new students of the Slaughter Tower Academy.

So he arrived at the dormitory early, thinking about familiarizing himself with the academy environment first.

But Wang Yueyun didn't expect that he wasn't the earliest to arrive at the academy.

"My name is Wen Xun, a new student of the Slaughter Tower Academy. From now on, we'll be roommates."

Wen Xishu had been assigned to the Slaughter Tower Academy by Albert.

In the practical simulation class, Wen Xishu would need to undergo various physical training and also learn various combat techniques.

Albert always believed that the significance of the Slaughter Tower's existence was not just to kill enemies in a virtual world.

So he believed that the importance of the Slaughter Tower was no less than the Mysterious Tower.

However, Wen Xishu was not completely unrelated to the Tower of Desire anymore. He could choose to audit classes at the Tower of Desire Academy.

In short, Wen Xishu's specialization was in the direction of the Mysterious Tower, his major was in the direction of the Slaughter Tower, and his elective in his spare time was the Tower of Desire.

Yes, he was one of the rare ones studying all three systems.

Back to the point, Wen Xishu was the earliest to arrive at the dormitory.

As early as a few days ago, when the lower-level epidemic had not yet eased and the upward channel was still closed, he had already been brought to the academy's dormitory by Albert.

Wang Yueyun naturally wouldn't be earlier than Wen Xishu.

Wang Yueyun was the kind of genius whose physique didn't look tall, and his muscles weren't robust; from a distance, he even looked a bit... frail.

But looking closely, it definitely made everyone feel that this child could fight very well.

Wen Xishu, at first glance, thought of the late world martial arts superstar from his previous life, the lean-bodied Bruce Lee.

Wang Yueyun was a somewhat cold type. After hearing Wen Xishu report his name, his first reaction wasn't to respond with his own name, but to ask:

"Wen Xun? Which Wen? The Wen from Wen Xishu?"

Having experienced the incident of the barrage floating in front of Albert last time, Wen Xishu's emotional control ability was now stronger.

Suddenly hearing a new student read his name, and read it toward him, his first reaction was—

Trouble. Could this be some noble who had a grudge against the Wen family, starting in hell mode, and arranged to be my roommate?

The enemy is at Honno-ji? The enemy is hiding in the place where I sleep?

This should have been something worth being shocked about, but Wen Xishu still said very calmly:

"The 'Wen' from culture, the 'Xun' from searching."

Wen Xishu's expression was very natural.

He had to admit that after coming to this absurd world, his emotional management ability had improved one step further.

Sooner or later, he could practice into an eternal poker face.

Wang Yueyun didn't notice anything strange, just a bit disappointed, then said coldly:

"My name is Wang Yueyun. Take care of me from now on."

Wang Yueyun began to put away his luggage, and the small ripples in Wen Xishu's heart slowly returned to calm.

"Sigh, don't be so disappointed. Although I don't have the same surname as Wen Xishu, I... have heard of him."

Wen Xishu still decided to fish for some information:

"Are you also asking about Wen Xishu?"

Wang Yueyun's brows furrowed slightly, giving Wen Xishu the feeling of the kind of bitter and deep-seated protagonist in early fantasy novels.

"Also? Who else is asking about Wen Xishu?" Wang Yueyun asked coldly.

"No, I just think that there would probably be others who want to ask too," Wen Xishu said with a smile.

His smile was the kind that could soothe even the Strange Jennifer.

Wang Yueyun seemed to feel Wen Xishu's friendliness too.

He gently pressed his index finger on the side of his nose bridge and said in a rather deep tone:

"He is mine."

Wen Xishu didn't expect that he would almost be slapped in the face just like that. He thought he had practiced his emotional management well, and hearing the other party mention his own name wouldn't cause any extra reaction.

But this "He is mine" actually made him lose control of his expression, and his face twitched slightly.

Fortunately, no barrage floated out.

Seeing Wen Xishu reveal an expression of looking at a little gay ghost, Wang Yueyun realized that his words seemed to have some ambiguity. He turned his head away and continued to speak in a cold, deep tone:

"He is my goal. I will surpass him. Although I have a huge gap with him now. But thirty years east of the bunker, thirty years west of the bunker."

Wen Xishu finally understood this time and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Wang Yueyun's gaze was sharp.

"I thought of something happy." Wen Xishu was completely relieved.

He thought it was an enemy; it turned out to be a fanboy.

Why did he have a fanboy? He actually knew. It stood to reason that his supplies and facilities had brought him a good reputation.

Wen Xishu decided to call Wang Yueyun the "King of Pretending."

This child had too much of the "King of Pretending" style. Look at this bitter and deep expression, look at this sharp gaze, look at this cold tone.

"You are mocking me, you think I'm wishful thinking?" Wang Yueyun frowned slightly.

Heaven and earth conscience, Wen Xishu didn't think surpassing himself was anything remarkable.

After all, he had entered the academy through connections, and there was still a gap between him and those who were recruited based on ability.

"How could that be? I just think that having a roommate like you will give me a lot of motivation."

Wang Yueyun nodded slowly:

"Work hard, let's work together, and strive to become an existence like him as soon as possible."

Honestly, Wen Xishu was made a bit awkward by Wang Yueyun's earnest drive to surpass him.

If, after the midterm exam, he discovered that the person he had to catch up to was his own roommate... I wonder if he would feel disillusioned?

Wen Xishu didn't think much, because the next roommate also appeared.

He had originally thought that the King of Pretending was already the model of an eccentric roommate... but Wen Xishu still underestimated the gold content of the Three Towers Academy.

Even the principal was so insane, the students recruited by the admissions office were naturally not normal either.

Where there is a Crouching Dragon, there must be a Fledgling Phoenix.

"Yo~yo~ follow my rhythm, let's fight together! You shout 'six' behind me, watch me show off in the front!"

"Hey! Hey! My name is Nisen, my big handle can be inserted very deep! This year at the Slaughter Tower Academy, I will definitely get full marks!"

A rap that made Wen Xishu's hair stand on end came from a black man's mouth.

Although it was said with quite a sense of rhythm, the lyrics really made Wen Xishu awkward.

Nisen.

Wen Xishu's second roommate. Compared to the lean Wang Yueyun, Nisen looked extremely burly; Wen Xishu roughly estimated him to be two meters tall.

Wang Yueyun was cold, while Nisen was overly enthusiastic. After pushing the door open, he shook his body and sang the lyrics that made even Wen Xishu awkward.

Like a chimpanzee.

Nisen high-fived Wen Xishu in a very rap way, and Wen Xishu responded to this set of movements.

It was probably like that in the movies of his previous life, the two palms touching, and then constantly changing gestures.

While Wang Yueyun looked coldly at Nisen, who was crazily rapping awkwardly.

"Yo~bro, from now on we are roommates! Tremble with me!" Nisen didn't care about Wang Yueyun's attitude at all.

He was really very happy. He also kept making some beatbox sound segments in his mouth, making spit fly everywhere.

Wang Yueyun frowned, but he was used to it and couldn't say he hated it. In the lower levels, he saw many such black brothers.

Wen Xishu thought about it and decided to say hello:

"My name is Wen Xun, this is Wang Yueyun. And... you don't need to deliberately rhyme all the time; he would be more willing to communicate normally."

He felt that Wang Yueyun didn't like Nisen much and didn't seem to have any intention of telling him his name.

But he didn't expect Wang Yueyun to say:

"Are you also recruited with full marks in all subjects?"

Nisen danced with both hands:

"Ye~ although my culture score isn't full marks, all my other simulations were full marks. Culture exams are too hard for me, but the academy teachers said I have talent, hey, so they broke the rules and recruited me."

Wen Xishu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this roommate could also speak normally.

However...

He could imagine that he would definitely hear a lot of awkward things in the future.

Wang Yueyun felt a sense of competitiveness; he was also full marks, full marks in all subjects.

But he knew that full marks couldn't explain anything; some people got those marks because full marks were only that many.

His goal was to get first place among the new students, then surpass those senior students, and finally catch up to those geniuses in the bunker.

Nisen being recruited by breaking the rules perhaps meant he had a performance that surpassed full marks.

With Nisen, the dormitory became much livelier, and Wang Yueyun's icy aura melted into nothingness in front of Nisen's awkward singing.

Nisen seemed to make the atmosphere of the entire dormitory hip-hop.

Although Wen Xishu didn't like most black people, especially the limited edition in the two provinces of his previous life, there were indeed some who were quite positive and could bring joy to people.

Wen Xishu and Wang Yueyun hardly spoke, but Nisen kept singing.

Calling it singing was actually just deliberately rhyming and then talking, expressing roughly the meaning that—

In the sixth class of the new students, there would be teachers leading the students to participate in low-level Slaughter Tower trials.

Wen Xishu didn't know why Nisen knew these things, but if it were true...

Then he would likely log into the Slaughter Tower in the near future.

Besides this point, Nisen also shared a piece of news.

He said that the academy hid a treasure, and it had always been encouraged for new students to look for it; this was not a secret.

However, since the establishment of the Three Towers Academy, even the most outstanding students had never found the location of the treasure.

Generally speaking, after looking for about a year, students would give up if they couldn't find it.

But the Three Towers Academy had to constantly recruit new students, and new students were always full of vitality.

He didn't know if it was a gimmick, but the students felt that even if the academy didn't engage in such gimmicks, everyone would still break their heads to get in.

So in the eyes of the new students, it was probably like this: "This treasure is destined for me; it hasn't been discovered by you, it's just waiting for me."

Nisen reached out his hand:

"Bro, shall we go look for the treasure together? Just tonight, not just us, hey, quite a few from the next class, including those from the Tower of Desire system, are coming. Let's form a team of three!"

Wang Yueyun had heard of this treasure.

He was the King of Pretending; before Wen Xishu appeared, he considered himself capable of being on par with Xun Hui and Wen Renjing in the future.

The characteristic of the King of Pretending was that he thought he was the chosen one.

Wang Yueyun nodded and unexpectedly shook hands with Nisen:

"I'll join."

Wen Xishu didn't speak. A treasure that every batch of students hadn't discovered was naturally extremely difficult to find.

But Wen Xishu suddenly remembered that Albert seemed to have said—

"The academy does have a method to help you become strong; it counts as a small surprise, but no one has ever known where it is because everyone has been looking in the wrong direction."

He stood up and nodded:

"Trying won't hurt."
