The footsteps stopped outside, followed by the subtle sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole, but they soon discovered that the door was not locked and could be easily opened by pressing the door handle.

The two boys who came in were wearing the same blue and white school uniform. They were very handsome and unusually tall among their peers, about 1.9 meters tall. They stood in front of Yuan Yuxue and even had to lower their heads slightly to look at him.

The boy with a smile on his face was the first to speak: "So someone is here, is it a new classmate? Hello, I'm Zeng Bai, and we'll be roommates from now on."

The young man next to him was a little cold and didn't say anything. His light grey eyes stared at Yuan Yuxue calmly. Zeng Bai introduced him, "This is my cousin, Tang Yuan. He doesn't like to talk much, don't mind."

Yuan Yuxue said “hmm”.

He seems to be as taciturn as Tang Yuan.

Fortunately, among the three people in the room, Zeng Bai was at least easy-going and enthusiastic. After asking Yuan Yuxue's name, he warmly invited him to walk around the campus and see what daily necessities he could buy.

"After all, this is where we're going to live for four years." Zeng Bai sighed, "I heard that Huai University has very strict school rules. We can only leave the school once a year, and we have to wear school uniforms."

Yuan Yuxue seemed to have realized something and then rejected Zeng Bai's invitation.

"I'm alone," he said.

When Yuan Yuxue left the dormitory, she heard Zeng Bai talking to Tang Yuan in a low voice.

"It seems that the new roommate is not easy to get along with."

Their dormitory building is probably quite old. Although it occupies a large area, the facilities inside the dormitory are aging, and the appearance of the dormitory building is also very unsatisfactory. The mottled exterior wall has large patches of white wall peeling off, the wall tiles are slightly yellowed, and damp green moss gathers in the corners, extending into a dark gray mark.

The building faces south and north, with little sunlight, making it appear extremely gloomy and depressing.

After Yuan Yuxue came out of the dormitory building, she saw the signboard below with a route map to guide the freshmen.

He scanned the route map and wrote it down, thinking about where to investigate first.

… Canteen.

Yuan Yuxue made a decision very quickly. The pocket of his school uniform suddenly began to vibrate slightly. He was stunned for a moment and took out a mobile phone from it.

Yuan Yuxue quickly searched for how to use the phone, turned on the screen and turned off the alarm, just in time to see the message reminder pop up.

The owner of this phone seemed to have joined several school groups, including the "Huai University 21st Freshman Exchange Group". A message box popped up, and it was a message from a student with the nickname "Mumu Game Looking for a Team~", saying that he had recently played a survival game that was particularly interesting, and asked if there were any alumni who played it with him so they could form a team and level up together.

The dungeon environment this time was special, with far more NPCs than players. In fact, this was the dungeon players' implicit attempt to form a team, and in most cases, players responded, especially dungeon newcomers who tended to form a group. However, this hint was too difficult for a robot to understand, so Yuan Yuxue calmly exited the chat interface, turned off his phone, and continued to go to the cafeteria.

Yuan Yuxue entered the largest of the four canteens in the Huai University campus. It was not yet lunchtime, but all the windows of the canteen were already open. There were not many students, and they sat at a few scattered tables.
