After everyone had taken turns to show off their powers, Yue Xingwen found that their group was quite comprehensive. Senior brother Zhuo Feng’s high-voltage electricity and senior sister Lin Manluo’s vines were all skills with extremely strong output, just like the casting skills in the online game, the cooldown time was relatively long, but the lethality was amazingly high, as long as it was released, it could almost instantly kill a single target.
Liu Zhaoqing’s scalpel was the same as Yue Xingwen’s dictionary, similar to the normal attack, flat attack in the game. Although the lethality of a single attack was not strong enough, it had no cooldown and it could be used frequently and multiple times to replenish damage while teammates’ skills were on cooldown. Liu Zhaoqing also took ‘Medical Gauze’, which could help his teammates heal their injuries.
Xu Yishen’s mitosis was more like an assassin who moved freely and he could break through the situation unexpectedly. Ke Shaobin’s robot, Xiao Tu, could be summoned to attract the monsters, but of course, Xiao Tu’s level was still too low right now, and Xiao Tu would definitely be more powerful when he grew up later.
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce were the team mages, who could output and control the field.
This seven-people combination, if they went to the <Cardiovascular Ward> for another round of the night battle royale, Yue Xingwen thought that it would be far more powerful than his previous randomly matched temporary class of 10 people. It would not even require Yue Xingwen to make a move, Jiang Pingce’s field control, together with senior brother Zhuo Feng’s electric current, would be able to clear out the monsters.
The other students also looked significantly more relaxed than at the beginning after seeing everyone’s powers, with so many powerful teammates by their side, they did not have to be afraid of encountering even the most difficult courses in the future.
Liu Zhaoqing sighed and said. “Everyone is so powerful. When I watched <Harry Potter> in my childhood, I wished that I could go to a magic university in the future, but now… And we’ve really come to the Magic University ah!”
Zhuo Feng said, “It’s not that I’m bragging, in the currently known Research Group, we can certainly be ranked in the top five with our team’s overall strength, much better than the fastest progress of Kyoto University’s science team. However, we’re short of the liberal arts students, and technically speaking, only Yue Xingwen is a pure liberal arts major.”
Lin Manluo looked at Yue Xingwen, smiled and said, “Our Xingwen is the captain of Hua’an University’s debate team and led the team to win the National University Debate Tournament, Xingwen’s knowledge reserve can be calculated according to three liberal arts students.”
Yue Xingwen was flattered, “Senior sister, you’re flattering me…”
Zhuo Feng said, “Of course, I’m certainly clear about Xingwen’s strength. However, the seven of us will be confused once there’s a course in law, business, or something like that later on. No matter how powerful Xingwen is, he doesn’t know business and law, right?”
Yue Xingwen nodded and said, “I really don’t know anything about law or economics, I don’t know exactly which floor these two major liberal arts are on. If we come across courses from these faculties, we have to expand our team and add more teammates from related majors?”
Zhuo Feng said, “Take your time, with this current team, getting through the first three floors of the course shouldn’t be a problem.”
The electronic clock on the wall of the training room showed 12:00pm.
Everyone was chatting and practicing their skills, and the time actually passed by without them realizing it. Yue Xingwen rubbed his empty stomach and suggested, “it’s 12 o’clock, why don’t we all go to eat lunch first?”
Everyone agreed and said, “Let’s go, I’m hungry too.”
“Let’s go to the canteen to eat!”
As he walked to the door of the training room, Yue Xingwen suddenly thought of something, stopped, turned back and asked, “By the way, our three seniors, where’s your dormitory?”
Zhuo Feng replied, “Xu Yishen and I live in Area A, no. 96, and the other two roommates are from Kyoto University.”
Liu Zhaoqing said, “I’m in the four rooms of Area D no. 72. I don’t know the three other roommates. I got up in the morning and came straight to the Research Group Center on the -2nd floor, and I had no time to talk to them to ask for information.”
Yue Xingwen looked at Ke Shaobin and said, “Isn’t your dormitory empty? Why don’t you stay with the seniors?”
Ke Shaobin’s eyes lit up and he immediately said, “If the three senior brothers don’t mind, move over to Area F-930 and stay with me. I’ve chosen a quadruple room and I’m currently alone, so there are exactly three empty beds.”
The other three looked at each other, and Zhuo Feng simply nodded his head. “That’s a good idea. It will be easier to communicate with each other in the future if we all live together. The guy in the bed next to mine was snoring all night, giving me a headache.”
Xu Yishen also remembered that not-so-good experience last night, rubbing his temple gently and saying, “I didn’t sleep well either, the snoring sound was earth-shattering. We can’t directly say it to him, and it’s more convenient to live with someone we know.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Liu Zhaoqing said happily, “Then, I’ll move over too. I’m not familiar with all three roommates, so I’d better live with you guys.”
Tef Wlcukfc ibbxfv ja Olc Zjcieb klat mbcmfgc jcv jrxfv, “Qtja jybea rfclbg rlrafg?”

At present, she was the only female student in the team. Yue Xingwen could not think of any other way but to let senior sister live with a stranger for now, and talk about it later when they had a female teammate.
Zhuo Feng followed up and asked, “What about you two? Where do you live?”
Jiang Pingce said lightly, “I live with Xingwen.”
Yue Xingwen smiled and added, “We are worried about meeting a roommate who is not easy to get along with, so we registered for a double room yesterday.”
Jiang Pingce was a well-known ‘Cold King’, and it was hard for Zhuo Feng to imagine what it would be like to be a roommate with Jiang Pingce? Only Yue Xingwen could joke around with this serious Jiang Pingce, so the two of them living together should be able to get along well, right?
Zhuo Feng felt relieved and said, “That’s fine, you two can take care of each other.”
They rode the elevator to the student canteen and chose a canteen with plenty of empty seats to get their food.
At lunchtime on Saturday, the student canteen was crowded but the atmosphere remained depressingly quiet. No one chatted loudly, let alone laughed and joked; All of the students looked serious and quickly swept their points at the conveyor belt to get their lunch box.
Liu Zhaoqing lowered his voice and asked Yue Xingwen, “Are we paying for the lunch ourselves? Or take turns in paying?”
Yue Xingwen thought about it for a moment and said, “Let’s pay by ourselves for today. In the future, we can turn in our points to create a Research Group’s fund and find someone to manage the daily expenses of the team, so we don’t have to swipe points one by one. What do you all think?”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Yue Xingwen had just finished upgrading his idiom dictionary and was now penniless, so Jiang Pingce consciously helped him buy a 10-point lunch box, and the group found a large table to sit down and eat lunch together.
They had the same meal in their lunchbox, one non-vegetarian and two vegetarian dishes.
Liu Zhaoqing sighed. “I really miss our Hua’an University’s canteen, we have a lot of dishes to choose from.”
Zhuo Feng said, “I usually like to go to the first canteen, the hot and sour fish soup at the corner food window is especially delicious.”
Lin Manluo said, “I like the rice noodles in our canteen, and all kinds of flavors are delicious.”
Xu Yishen interrupted them with a bitter face. “Ugh, don’t say it. The food here tastes mediocre, but the good thing is that we can eat it to our fill, the food is unlimited, so it’s better than leaving us hungry.”
Liu Zhaoqing sighed again and said, “It’s also true that in a place like this, we can’t ask too much.”
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce glanced at each other—— they both loved to go to the third canteen for small bowls of food. Every time Jiang Pingce sent a message to Yue Xingwen saying ‘let’s eat together’, Yue Xingwen would wait for him at the entrance of the third canteen. Nowadays, although they were also in the ‘third canteen’, unfortunately, none of the food delivered by the conveyor belt was their favorite, so the more he thought about it, the more he felt bad.
After exiting the canteen, the crowd said goodbye at the elevator entrance.
Yue Xingwen said enthusiastically, “Senior brother Zhuo, do you need help moving the room?”
ZhuoFeng waved his hand, “No, you and Pingce should go back first. We had a little luggage, just a few clothes and toiletries that could be moved in one go.”
Yue Xingwen: “Okay, then you guys go with Young Ke to do the dormitory procedures first. I’ll see you at dinner time.”
Zhuo Feng and the others followed Ke Shaobin to the dormitory administrator center, while Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce returned to their dormitories.
After entering the room, Yue Xingwen took off his shoes and lay on the bed. His arms folded behind his head, as if he was thinking about something on his mind. He was usually quite talkative, and he was rarely this quiet.
Seeing him staring at the ceiling, and not knowing where his mind drifted, the corner of Jiang Pingce’s lips lifted lightly, getting up and taking out a packet of chips from yesterday’s shopping, handing it to Yue Xingwen and saying. “Did you not eat well at noon? I will give you an extra meal.”
Yue Xingwen rolled out and rose up from the bed, quickly took the potato chips, unwrapped the packaging and grabbed a few to stuff it into his mouth. The familiar taste brought a smile to his face, “You still understand me, thanks!” He grabbed a few pieces and handed them to Jiang Pingce, who looked at him mildly and shook his head. “I don’t eat snacks, this is for you.”
Yue Xingwen then simply ate by himself, squinting his eyes with a satisfied look on his face.
Jiang Pingce watched him quickly eat half a packet of potato chips and said, “I’ll buy you snacks every day from now on.”
Yue Xingwen waved his hand and said, “That’s not necessary, it’s a waste of points.”
He had half a packet left, sealed the package and put it on the table, looked at Jiang Pingce seriously and said, “I was just thinking, each floor of the library is a faculty with corresponding compulsory and elective courses for each major. Is there one less course?”
Jiang Pingce quickly followed his train of thought and said, “You mean, the public elective courses?”
Yue Xingwen nodded. “Yes! Don’t all universities have public elective courses? Public electives courses are also counted as credits. Since the library is modeled after the domestic universities, it has set us a bunch of each faculty’s compulsory and elective courses. Why are there no public elective courses?”
Public elective courses were the powerful weapons for university students to gain their credits.
Public Elective courses were open to all students regardless of majors or grades, such as <Horror Movie Appreciation>, <Modern Classics>, <Fundamentals of Psychology>, and so on. Most of them were popular science courses that could expand students’ knowledge.
Moreover, the Public Elective exams were usually not particularly difficult, and the professors were more reasonable. The exam methods were writing essays, writing about their experience, open-book exams, the kind where they could just bring their book into the exam room to copy the answers.
There was also a joke in the university that ‘skip classes in the compulsory course is your choice, skip classes in the elective course is a must’, which showed that the requirements of many elective courses were not very strict, and students could get credits even if they skipped the classes.
If the library also had public elective courses, wouldn’t it be convenient to gain credits and points?
It cost points to eat, clothes, live, and all other lines of business here, and Yue Xingwen had just finished upgrading his magic dictionary. Now, he did not even have 1 point to spend on accommodation and food, so he really desperately wanted to earn some points.
Jiang Pingce frowned slightly and said, “All universities in the country have public elective courses, but the library doesn’t necessarily have them, right?”
Yue Xingwen said, “I was just thinking blindly out of boredom. Public elective courses are generally not difficult, so forget about not having them. If there are, maybe we can gain more points or something…”
As he was speaking, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his ears, “Students, tomorrow’s class schedule has been announced, and the tablets in the dormitory area have been synchronized with the schedule, so please look at the schedule and register for your classes in time.”
There was no class today on Saturday, did they actually have a class tomorrow on Sunday?
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce glanced at each other and quickly opened the tablet on the table——
[Library Class Schedule]
Sunday
10:00am – 12:00pm
Public Elective Course: Jewelry Appreciation
Credit: 2
Class Limit: 100 students/class for a total of 50 classes
Registration Time: Saturday night 20:00pm – 20:30pm
14:00pm – 16:00pm
Public Elective Course: Cross-country Orienteering
Credit: 2
Class Limit: 100 students/class for a total of 50 classes
Registration Time: Saturday night 20:00pm – 20:30pm
Note:
- The credits of Public Elective Courses are counted as total credits for graduation, and there is no need to retake the course after failing it and there is no penalty. However, students who fail a course are prohibited from taking the same course again and can only enroll in one public elective course per week.
- Students who register individually will be matched randomly. The students in the Research Group who register may enter the same class as a group.
- Students who have successfully selected courses should go to the specified class time and wait for the class to start at the Public Elective Center on the 5th floor of the library. Those who are late are deemed to fail the course.
Jiang Pingce looked at Yue Xingwen with the look in his eyes that seemed to say: Are you a prophet?
Yue Xingwen laughed lightly and touched his nose. “This library, although a bit abnormal, is still quite standardized, what the university has, the library also has it. I even doubt that, over time, it will open a school sports meeting ah?”
Jiang Pingce was helpless and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. What your mouth says is likely to come true.”
Yue Xingwen made a zipper motion on his mouth, and his gaze was full of innocence.
The corners of Jiang Pingce’s lips lifted lightly as he said, “Alright. Your favorite elective course is here, which one do you want to take?”
Yue Xingwen immediately pointed to the class schedule on the tablet and said, “I don’t know anything about this Jewelry Appreciation, so I prefer to choose this Cross-country Orienteering. What do you think?”
Jiang Pingce nodded. “En. This Jewelry Appreciation should be a reasoning class, and orienteering is more like a survival class.” They did not need to retake the Public Elective Course even if they failed. Wasn’t this where they exercise everyone’s abilities and bond as a team?
Jiang Pingce continued, “However, there is a possibility of failing to choose the class, you saw the class limit, right?”
Yue Xingwen said, “A class of 100 people, and the course has 50 classes, only 5,000 people can enter the class. These two courses add up to 10,000 people. All the students in the library will definitely not be able to squeeze in the Public Elective Course.”
This was really the same as the University’s Public Elective Courses, some popular courses need to be grabbed quickly.
They had a Public Elective Course ‘Dress Matching’ at Hua’an University, with the elegant and funny female professor and the exam was also open-book, they just needed to copy the answer. Every year when this Public Elective Course was released, it filled up within 3 seconds and was super hard to grab.
The nightmare of fighting with hand-speed was here again!
Thank you for the chapter ❤️❤️🙂
Ah the feeling of waking up early to grab the exact timeslot you want and the relief when seconds after your choice is confirmed, the page refreshes the listing as FULL….
The uni student experience is strong lol
Mm, I think it will be interesting!
Thank you for new chapter 💙
This is interesting, I wander if they will be able to get in the class.
