After forming the team, Yue Xingwen arranged for everyone to change dormitories during the weekend break.
Qin Miao and Qin Lu lived together, and Lin Manluo suggested: “My roommate from the Foreign Language Department has moved away, and I live alone in the four rooms at present. Why don’t you just move in with me, it’s easier for us to move around together.”
Qin Miao replied: “Okay, we’ll go through the procedures for changing dormitories at noon today.”
Zhuo Feng was much more relieved and smiled:, “Manluo was always worried about her being the only girl in the team before, but now it’s good that she finally has company.” He paused and added, “It’s just that, Qin Miao and Qin Lu look exactly the same, I can’t tell which is the older sister and which is the younger sister, will it be awkward to call the wrong name in the future?”
Qin Lu said: “We will be shopping for clothes at the shopping plaza on the -5th floor. In the future, my sister will wear a black top and I’ll wear a white top so that everyone won’t be mistaken.”
Qin Miao then said: “If we encounter a course with the same uniform, Qin Lu will wear a red hairpin on her head.”
This was really good to distinguish, and it also avoided the embarrassment of recognizing the wrong person.
Zhang Xiaonian typed in the Research Group’s chat channel and asked: “I’m not familiar with my roommates, can I switch to your dormitory?”
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce lived in a double room, and they could not add another person. Liu Zhaoqing’s dormitory of 4 people was full. Thinking of this, Ke Shaobin typed and asked: “Xin Yan, is there still a vacant bed in your dormitory?”
Xin Yan said: “En.”
Ke Shaobin said: “Then, why don’t you let junior brother move in with you?”
Xin Yan said: “You move here, let Zhang Xiaonian move to live with the other three.”
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment as the two sentences came out on the Research Group’s chat channel at the same time. Zhang Xiaonian could feel that senior brother Xin Yan did not like him very much and was too frightened to speak, and the others could not come out to speak rashly.
Yue Xingwen knew that Xin Yan was difficult to get along with, perhaps he was stimulated by school violence in high school and did not like to get close to strangers. He and Ke Shaobin were classmates in high school, so it made sense for him to propose this dormitory change.
So, as the team leader, Yue Xingwen had to come forward to mediate: “So, Xin Yan and Ke Shaobin were classmates in high school. Both of them are more familiar, young Ke can move to live with Xin Yan. Zhang Xiaonian moves to F930 to senior brother Zhou, senior brother Liu and senior brother Xu’s room to live together. What do you think?”
Zhang Xiaonian hurriedly said: “Okay!”
Ke Shaobin: “Okay, then I’ll go and live with Xin Yan.”
Yue Xingwen instructed: “Xiao Nian is the youngest junior brother of our team, the three senior brothers, please take care of him more in the future.”
Liu Zhaoqing laughed: “No problem, I’ll keep an eye on the glass of the balcony so that Xiao Nian does not crash into it.”
Zhang Xiaonian wanted to cry without tears: “… I’m not that tough.”
Xu Yishen smiled and said: “Welcome to our junior brother to dormitory F930, these three senior brothers will love you well.”
Zhang Xiaonian was horrified: “Why is that a little bit scary?”
Zhuo Feng said: “They’re joking. The three of us won’t bully a child.”
A child? Two fourth-year students, and one graduate student, he, as a freshman rookie, was indeed a child in front of the three senior brothers, so it was unavoidable that he would be teased. Alas!
And that was how things were set. Zhang Xiaonian moved to the three senior brothers’ dormitory warily, and Ke Shaobin switched to the dormitory in Area E with Xin Yan. Xin Yan’s face was still pale, his eyes were dark and cold. Ke Shaobin could not help to feel a chill down his spine when he remembered that he had once smashed a certain classmate over the head to have seven stitches.
Xin Yan moved sideways, smoothly helped him lift the suitcase and put it inside the room, “The bed on the left is mine, you sleep on the other side.”

Until the end of the final exam of the second year of high school, he stopped those three in the toilet, 1 vs 3, beat one of the students to lose his front teeth, one with the face full of blood, and one head cracked and was sent to the hospital to be stitched…
Since then, no one dared to approach him, and the group hid away when they saw him as if they had seen a ghost.
This incident was very famous at school, and Xin Yan was almost expelled from school. Fortunately, he cleverly left behind all the evidence of the three classmates who robbed him of his pocket money for two years and committed school violence against him, and finally the parents of both sides reconciled. Xin Yan stopped living and school and started going back and forth to school. His personality became more and more indifferent, but his grades improved by leaps and bounds to become the top of the class.
Ke Shaobin was actually afraid of Xin Yan. He always felt that Xin Yan had a gloomy personality and seemed to have a violent factor hidden in his blood, if he used an animal to describe it… Xin Yan should have looked like a cold venomous snake?
But he would not actively attack people as long as the other people did not offend him.
Ke Shaobin showed a shy smile at Xin Yan and said, “I don’t snore when I sleep, and I don’t sleep talk, you can rest assured. When I was in school, I liked to stay up late, but now, there’s a forced light out and the network is also disconnected in the library, so I’m getting a pretty regular routine these days.”
“That’s good.” Xin Yan said lightly.
After everyone changed dormitories, the team was finally fixed.
Unable to sign up for public elective courses for the weekend, they used the time to rest and get acquainted with each other.
Lin Manluo and the twin sisters, Qin Miao and Qin Lu soon became friends, and the three of them went shopping together in a group.
Zhang Xiaonian found that the three senior brothers were all quite nice and did not bully him. Senior brother Xu from the Faculty of Biological Science loved to sleep, and his hair would be messy like a teddy dog whenever he woke up; Liu Zhaoqing of the Surgery Department liked to do fitness exercises on the balcony, he had a good figure, nad had eight-pack abs; Zhuo Feng was cheerful and frank, and he took good care of his junior brother. Zhang Xiaonian quickly adapted to the new environment.
Xin Yan was not talkative, Ke Shaobin buried his head in studying his laptop. The dormitory was as quiet as no one else, and the two got along quite well.
The most harmonious was the dormitory of Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce. Yue Xingwen was talkative, and Jiang Pingce would respond patiently, and both of them seemed to have an endless conversation. On Saturday afternoon, Jiang Pingce also took Yue Xingwen to the supermarket, bought some fruits, and bought a box of potato chips for Yue Xingwen, enough for him to eat for half a month.
Yue Xingwen happily returned to the dormitory, holding the potato chips.
The two-day break put everyone in good spirits, and on Sunday at 8:00 pm, all the floors released next week’s class schedule at the same time.
Yue Xingwen clicked into the schedule to see that all the reasoning courses on the 1st floor of the Faculty of Medicine and 2nd floor of the Faculty of Mathematics had changed, <Cardiovascular Ward>, <Death Code>, disappeared from the schedule and was replaced by a new compulsory course.
Many students on the forum left messages thanking Yue Xingwen in the strategy post: “Fortunately, the senior sent the strategy in advance, we rushed to pass the <Death Code> course on Friday, otherwise it would be more difficult to change classes next week!”
“I’ve passed through the Faculty of Mathematics without mishap, and I’m very grateful to @JiangPingce, @YueXingwen for sharing your experience!”
The majority of the groups in the library had passed the Faculty of Mathematics, and they would come to the Faculty of Architecture next week.
Yue Xingwen conveniently opened the ‘Faculty of Architecture City Collapse’s Strategy’ posted by Yu Mingyu, a senior at Kyoto University.
On the first floor of the post, senior brother Yu mentioned: “Our team only had 4 people when we passed this course, the key point was the Geography Department’s plate movement skill. My plate movement skill was level 3 with a maximum of 12 uses. We are group A, with the buff for movement speed and cooldown reduction. Teams with less than level 3 plate movement skills and who are not in group A should not imitate this strategy.”
The requirements for this strategy were rather high. First of all, the Geography Department’s ‘plate movement level 3’, and Qin Lu had not met this requirement yet. Qin Lu’s current plate movement was level 2, not to mention, their Research Group was group C, which did not have movement speed and cooldown reduction buff. Senior brother Yu’s strategy did not work for their team.
Yue Xingwen closed the post and opened the 3rd floor Faculty of Architecture’s class schedule to take a closer look——
Three compulsory courses appeared on the Faculty of Architecture’s class schedule next week.
At 8:00am for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, the scheduled compulsory course was <City Collapse>, with 2 credits.
At 8:00am for Tuesday and Thursday, there was <Endless Stairs>, with 3 credits.
Throughout Monday to Friday at 14:00pm in the afternoon, there was <The Mystery of the Construction Site>, with 4 credits.
All other courses scheduled from 10:00am-12:00pm, and 14:00pm-16:00pm were elective courses.
Holding the tablet, Yue Xingwen turned around and sat down next to Jiang Pingce’s bed, discussing with him, “The class schedule of the Faculty of Architecture has also changed, three courses, and the total number of credits is 9 like the Faculty of Mathematics.”
Jiang Pingce was also a bit surprised, “The only course that remains unchanged is <City Collapse>, and the other two are new courses?”
Yue Xingwen nodded. “En. <City Collapse> only has 2 credits, it shouldn’t be too hard. Senior brother Zhuo and the others failed it in the first place because they didn’t have enough displacement skills. <Endless Stairs> sounds like an architectural maze? <The Mystery of the Construction Site> is surely a puzzle-solving course, and we may be teleported to a construction site.”
Jiang Pingce looked at the class schedule and said, “Three courses with 2, 3, and 4 credits, it won’t be too hard if we just look at the credits. Let’s seize the time to finish the 3rd floor, and go to the 4th floor?”
Yue Xingwen lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then he sent a message in the chat channel: “There are three compulsory courses in the Faculty of Architecture. Let’s finish all the compulsory courses according to the schedule as fast as possible. On Monday, there is <City Collapse> at 8:00am, and <The Mystery of the Construction Site> at 2:00pm. On Tuesday, there is <Endless Stairs> at 8:00am. If we do it well, we can pass the Faculty of Architecture in two days. We will go to the next faculty on Wednesday, what do you guys think?”
With two days off over the weekend to rest, Yue Xingwen planned to catch up to quickly brush up the course the following week.
Zhuo Feng quickly replied: “I have no problem with that.”
Qin Miao said: “The team leader can arrange it.”
Everyone in the Research Group’s chat channel lined up to send ‘Agree’.
Yue Xingwen said: “Then it’s decided. Meet me tomorrow morning at 7:30am in front of the canteen no.1 for breakfast and meet at the Faculty of Architecture on the 3rd floor at 7:45am, 15 minutes in advance for course selection to avoid accidents.”
The next morning, everyone gathered at the entrance of the canteen on time. Jiang Pingce had the team funds in his hand, so he went straight to the conveyor belt and swiped 11 breakfast. Yue Xingwen led the team to take up the seats, Jiang Pingce and Liu Zhaoqing brought the breakfast boxes back to the table. Everyone seized the time to eat, and went to the 3rd floor Faculty of Architecture together.
Last week, with the help of Jiang Pingce and Yue Xingwen’s strategy, most of the students in the library cleared the Faculty of Mathematics. Today, the lobby of the Faculty of Architecture was crowded with people, and Yue Xingwen led everyone to a tablet computer and pressed the course selection.
[Compulsory Course: City Collapse]
[Credit: 2]
[Examination Room Rules: Limited course for the Research Group, must register as a Research Group]
[Course Description: As a result of jerry-built building projects, the foundations of buildings throughout the city are in serious trouble. The sewage system was completely paralyzed, and the city was about to collapse in three minutes. Once the city collapses, the residents who live in the city will be completely buried by the collapsed buildings.]
[Examination Requirements: Escape from the collapsing city within an hour]
[Note: Recommended Research Group is group A (A whole team speed buff), or Research Group that has displacement skills]
[Confirm Course Selection: Yes/No]
Yue Xingwen pressed ‘Yes’.
A prompt popped up on the screen immediately afterwards: “C-183 Research Group’s registration is successful. Your Research Group is detected as a level 3 Research Group, the course is [Limited to Research Group] and you can use the [Credit Sharing] function, do you want to turn on the Research Group’s function?”
Yue Xingwen looked back at Jiang Pingce: “That means we can have credit sharing for this course, and as long as half of the people who take the exam pass, the rest of the students automatically pass as well?”
When the Research Group was upgraded before, Yue Xingwen specifically studied the new features.
[X-team member] was not currently available, and this credit sharing function could be used in the [Research Group Limited] course. For level 3 Research Group, it required 7 or more students to take the exam.
Jiang Pingce said, “This course is testing our speed. It’s more convenient to control with fewer people.”
Yue Xingwen nodded and simply made a decision, “Pingce is going to use the coordinate system to control the movement, 11 people is too many and he will have a hard time to control it, the less people there are, the faster we can go. Therefore, I want to open the [Credit Sharing] function, and only 7 students are sent to take the exam.”
Yue Xingwen said, “Qin Lu and Pingce both have team displacement skills and they must go. I have to go as the team leader, and there are still 4 slots.” He swept his gaze across the room, “Zhang Xiaonian, you can’t say to not participate in the Faculty of Architecture, right?”
Zhang Xiaonian: “En, I will participate!”
Yue Xingwen’s gaze turned to the curly-haired Xu Yishen, “Senior brother Xu should also participate, your mitosis can be used as a displacement.”
Xu Yishen smiled a little and said, “No problem.”
Yue Xingwen looked at Ke Shaobin and said, “Have Xiao Tu to scan and scout the way.”
Ke Shaobin nodded. “Okay.”
There was still one place left, Qin Miao took the initiative to say, “I’m not going, my skills are useless in this course.”
Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo looked at each other, and the latter said, “I took this course with Zhuo Feng before, and I felt that our skills would not be very helpful.” Zhuo Feng agreed, “En, we won’t grab the spot.”
Xin Yan said lightly, “My spirit lamp and acid won’t help.”
Liu Zhaoqing raised his hand and recommended himself. “Then, I’ll go. If someone is injured, I can always heal and give you support.”
The list of seven people was determined. Yue Xingwen pressed the ‘Credit Sharing’ option on the tablet, and the names of the 11 members of the Research Group popped up on the screen, and then Yue Xingwen quickly selected seven of them.
A beep prompt sounded in the ears of the seven chosen people: “The exam is about to start at 8:00am, please be prepared.”
The prompt for the remaining four people was: “Your C-183 Research Group is about to start the Faculty of Architecture <City Collapse> course. Your teammates are about to enter the examination room. Please wait in the break area, and the results of your teammates’ examination will be shared directly with you.”
If their teammates passed, they would also pass the exam, if their teammates failed, they would also fail.
Since Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo had already failed this Faculty of Architecture’s course before, if they failed again this time, they would be directly eliminated and obliterated! Under such circumstances, they still dare not to take the exam. First, for the sake of team configuration, and second, Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo trusted Yue Xingwen so much that they were equivalent to putting their fate in Yue Xingwen’s hands.
Xu Yishen glanced back at the two of them and asked, “Are you two really not going?”
Zhuo Feng said, “We really can’t help too much, and only adding a burden of Pingce’s coordinate calculations. There’s no need to add to the mess.”
Lin Manluo nodded. “That’s right, we believe in Xingwen’s decision.”
Yue Xingwen stepped forward, looking extremely serious. “Wait for our good news.”
He would not let down his teammates who trusted him. He would do his best to achieve good results in their first team actions!
Good luck!!!!
Thank you for your translation 🤍🤍🤍
I kinda ship Xin Yan and Young Ke haha
Me too. Something about them just fits.
