For a while, Guo Guo couldn't tell whether it was something wrong with his ears or something wrong with his mind.
Yes, she may not have woken up at all, this place should still be a dream. Otherwise, how could it be explained that the mutated elf who left a deep shadow on her in the last dungeon unexpectedly appeared in front of her inexplicably now
And even if it is in the form of a poke ball, it should be a big blue leather ball. What's the matter with this white ball in the pool
Bai Tuanzi: "Ajiu!"
The ball trembled, and then it was picked up by a pair of hands. The owner of the hand looked serious as always: "I made it."
Guo Guo: "!! Sister You??"
She suddenly realized something, and leaned back: "Could it be..."
"That's right." Zhang You also rubbed the center of his brows with a headache, covered the white dumpling with a towel, and then looked up to explain: "It's recycling old things."
[Old Object Recycling] is an auxiliary ability awakened by Zhang You before, which can randomly "recycle" an item from the last instance.
When she used this ability before, all she got were non-biological items such as Xiaohong's mobile phone and fragments of the freezer. But this time, I never expected that a living creature was "recycled"!
Zhang You was also stunned when he saw a white dumpling the size of a leather ball falling from the sky on his hand.
The reason for clarifying its identity type is the result of Tang Xinjue's investigation with identification function and mental power. They didn't know what to do with it, so they simply put it in the sink.
Zheng Wanqing walked over with a fruit knife in her hand: "Yes, I was shocked when I first woke up and saw this thing. Fortunately, it's just a ball now, if it becomes like in the game..."
Recalling the wave after wave of mutations of those "little elves", Guo Guo couldn't help but shudder.
If that kind of thing grows in the dormitory, regardless of the danger, the appearance alone is enough for her to have nightmares for several days.
"So just in case, prevent monsters from invading the dormitory," Zheng Wanqing raised the knife solemnly: "Let's slice it into the pot."
You can even add extra meals as food storage, which can be said to serve multiple purposes!
Bai Tuanzi: "Chirp?"
Tang Xinjue looked at her quietly: "You must be hungry because it smells too good."
Zheng Wanqing: "That's right, you don't think it looks like a big glutinous rice ball... No! I'm just thinking about the safety of the dormitory."
She swallowed, "Anyway, I'll kill it first, and at worst, I'll test it for poison."
As if feeling the killing intent, Bai Tuanzi looked at Zheng Wanqing with dark eyes, and then spat out a mouthful of water.
The water didn't spray Zheng Wanqing's face, but it made the fragrance in the air more intense.
Almost at the same time, the knocking outside the bedroom door became faster and heavier: "Boom, boom, boom!"
Guo Guo: "..."
She suddenly realized: "The reason why the thing outside the door is knocking is because there is an extra elf in our dormitory!"
Fortunately, she was really foolish enough to believe Jue Shen's explanation just now, and she was almost sent away by the white group on the spot.
Although they didn't know what it was that was pacing and patrolling outside the corridor every day, but based on previous experience, it didn't seem to be malicious to the students in the dormitory, and even reminded them.
"So I guess, the elf should also belong to the category of ghosts, and the strong fragrance it emits may be smelled by the outside."
The existence in the corridor probably felt that ghosts had entered their bedroom, so they were eager to remind them.
Zhang You spread out the towel and covered the white dumpling completely: "Isn't the fragrance less?"
Tang Xinjue: "It has some effect."
"Okay." Zhang You nodded and turned on the faucet, holding the dumpling and rubbing it vigorously.
"It's inevitable that the door that was just renovated was knocked on the first day. I discussed it with Zhang You and planned to lighten its smell first, and then study how to deal with it." Tang Xinjue explained.
Of course, the most important thing is that they have to confirm whether the ball is good or bad.
Zheng Wanqing still didn't give up: "Can't it be used for stewing? Look at Guo Guo, his eyes are red from hunger..."
Guo Guo: "... I think it's because you are so greedy that your eyes are red!"
She turned her head angrily, accidentally glanced at the mirror out of the corner of her eye, and stopped abruptly in place with a bang on her neck. Then she slowly turned her head back, only to confirm that she read correctly:
"It's over, I'm over."
Guo Guo held his face and opened his mouth in shock: "My eyes are really red?!"
Bai Tuanzi, who was being bathed, showed a small eye from the towel: "Chirp!"
"Help!!"
"Choo Choo Choo!"
Guo Guo's panic didn't last a second, and when Zheng Wanqing was the first to grab her arm, the girl's head had already drooped.
When she lifted it up again, both eye sockets were completely filled with crimson, but her expression was very calm: "Don't worry, it's me."
Before she finished speaking, Zheng Wanqing had already clenched her fists, and a huge steel phantom began to emerge—
"...it's me! I'm your counselor!"
As soon as these words came out, the bedroom fell silent.
Zheng Wanqing and Zhang You looked at Tang Xinjue, and Tang Xinjue nodded, "The breath is very familiar."
"Guo Guo" breathed a sigh of relief: "Student Tang has a good memory..."
Tang Xinjue: "But being familiar with it doesn't guarantee that it will be foolproof. Let the teacher prove it."
"Guo Guo": "..."
She had no choice but to wave her hand out of the window, and a giant red eyeball bigger than the window floated up, taking up the view outside the window.
"I came to you in a hurry last time, so I hid it specially this time, so as not to scare you when I first appeared."
The counselor explained somewhat depressedly.
The three of them: ... Apart from anything else, sudden possession is the scariest thing!
Leaving aside whether they were scared or not, Guo Guo must have been scared a lot, and he is probably autistic now.
The counselor blinked sheepishly, indicating that a softer approach would be taken in the future. Then turn to the main topic: "Come back to business, I came to you this time because of a very important matter."
606 immediately focused, and heard the other party ask: "Have you received the notification of entering a higher school?"
Did you come here for your studies
Tang Xinjue and his roommate looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Teacher, you came just in time, we still want to find you."
— There is no admission notice, but there are four broken app interfaces.
After watching the four people's mobile phones, and listening to a few people talk about the weird phenomenon of repeated horizontal jumps in the APP, the counselor was obviously relieved: "Fortunately, you didn't directly upgrade to the first one, and there is still room for buffering."
Tang Xinjue's taste was different: "Isn't it a good thing to be promoted to a first grade?"
The counselor's face turned serious.
"Yes and no."
…
After some science popularization, Tang Xinjue and the four people understood the key to "one book" and "two books".
Once candidates are successfully upgraded, the first thing they face is not more permissions, benefits, or more game information, but a sudden increase in the difficulty of the exam.
The higher the level, the more difficult the exam, and the more dangerous the ghosts in the dungeon.
The corresponding customs clearance rewards are of course more - but you have to get your life first.
Therefore, although theoretically speaking, the faster and higher the level is, the better, but if an ordinary three-book student is forcibly thrown into one of the exams, he will only die without a place to bury him!
"This is also the reason why only dormitories that pass the judgment can take the entrance examination." The counselor said.
"In addition to this situation, the university city will open the number of voluntary registrations every once in a while, but again, only students who have the ability to pass the customs can successfully register... Cough cough, these have nothing to do with you."
The counselor immediately changed the topic as soon as he balked: "So for the safety of the students, stepping up is the best way."
She didn't continue to say the next sentence, but the people in 606 already understood:
Leapfrogging represents danger.
Recalling the "Yi Yi University" that popped up on the APP for the first time yesterday, several people were shocked.
"The invigilator once said that if someone who grades the test likes us very much, they can even recommend it directly."
Tang Xinjue emphasized the word "recommendation", as if he had already guessed something.
The counselor sneered: "Then he really [likes] you guys."
"he?"
Tang Xinjue grasped the word.
The counselor shook his head: "I can't tell you about the examination papers, it's against the regulations of the Ministry of Education."
"But the student's imagination will not violate the rules." Tang Xinjue thought for a while: "So teacher, can I ask a hypothetical question that does not involve specific information?"
The counselor hesitated for a moment: "Just ask."
"Assuming that someone would rather spend effort to recommend us to enter a book in advance, but not because he is satisfied with our college entrance examination results, what would be the reason?"
Those inhuman crimson pupils stared at Tang Xinjue, and uttered two words from Guo Guo's lips:
"personal enmity."
The counselor's visit was brief and seemed to be simply to remind them of this.
Because the personal information interface of the APP is still on a black screen, the counselors can't give an answer after querying, but they just ask them to make the most severe preparations to meet all the dangers that are imminent.
"But don't be too pessimistic." She clenched Guo Guo's small fist and encouraged: "In your words, there is no limit to learning and hard work!"
"Teacher, at our stage of study, the proverb that is generally used is that there is no limit to learning, and there is no limit to turning back."
Counselor: ... You are really difficult to understand.
Tang Xinjue supported Guo Guo's crumbling body, and waved goodbye to the red eyes outside the window, "By the way, thank you for your help in the entrance exam."
Red Eyeball rolled his eyes embarrassedly: "That's an inherent part of the dungeon, but I happen to be free, so I just take over with a small branch of consciousness... Wait a minute, what is that?"
Turning his eyes to an angle, he saw the white dumpling dangling under the towel in the pool behind the three people.
The eyeballs looked even more shocked than Guo Guo who just woke up:
"You abducted the elf into the dormitory?? And washed it out???"
"This is going to the elf protection court!!!"
