Chapter 108 Health Surprise Inspection (XIV)
If they were to do a real renovation, they would need at least a construction team to renovate the dormitory. The materials and tools in the hands of just four people would definitely not be enough. Not to mention that they knew almost nothing about renovation - but Zhang You had a solution.
After spending fifteen minutes sorting all the materials into categories, Zhang You picked up the tools and began to disassemble. After another fifteen minutes of disassembling everything into the smallest parts, she began to reassemble it.
The lock and metal chain can be used as the second safety lock for the dormitory door. Use extra sheets to wrap the scrap metal pipe, glue it together and dry it. After it is dried, add the upper and lower pulleys to turn it into two simple sliding doors. Even if the dormitory doors and windows are broken, it can serve as a second layer of buffer.
The bed curtains were the last line of defense that had to be upgraded. Jiang was probably trying to save face, so the bed curtains and bed tents he gave away were basically all new and complete, which meant that there were not enough to divide the beds into four.
Under Zhang You's on-site instruction, everyone cut the bed curtains according to the proportions and filled them with old curtains to make them bigger. Although the final visual effect was a bit non-mainstream, it preserved the protective power to the greatest extent.
Zhang You also had the ingenuity to remove several bell ornaments, pull out four hidden thin lines along the four sides of the bed, and then hang the bells in the corners. Each bell is connected to her danger alarm. In this way, once a ghost approaches, the bell will alert the person lying on the bed to prevent them from being attacked in their sleep.
After finishing the defense part, everyone was exhausted and sweating, but Zhang You turned around, picked up a hammer and a wrench, stepped on a chair and climbed onto the two cabinets at the door.
Guo Guo couldn't believe it: "Do you want to continue to demolish it?"
Zhang You made the final decision: "Continue to demolish!"
The original function of the two cabinets was only storage. After the copy of "Four Seasons Protection Guide", it has a new function: hiding people.
The four of them squeezed in there once, so they clearly understood the inconveniences: small space, stuffy, poor defense, no sound insulation, inconvenient to observe the outside situation, etc.
In order to turn them into the final "fortress", they must transformed from top to bottom.
"You guys study the wash area first, and leave the wardrobe to me and Zhang You." Tang Xinjue sent the two people who didn't know how to start to the other side, and whispered with Zhang You for a while. After finalizing the plan, they started to demolish the house - with real guns and knives.
The flimsy wooden cabinet was quickly broken into several parts of different sizes by the banging and buzzing noises. The noise from the renovation was so loud that even the footsteps patrolling in the corridor lingered at the door for a long time, as if they were suspecting that the students in the house had gone crazy.
When the brand new cabinet was assembled and the two opened the door to test it, Guo Guo and Zheng Wanqing, who came over to watch, gasped at the same time.
The cabinet door, which originally opened outward, has not only been locked, but also a thick soundproof cover made of discarded old curtains. The plywood inside, which was originally used to store clothes, has been opened up and reshaped to form a design that allows people to climb to the top and then jump down from the "skylight" on the top of the cabinet.
Zhang You still regretted: " It's a pity that the space and materials are limited. We can't make them bigger. We can't add a pulley device to move them."
Guo Guo swallowed his saliva and sighed sincerely: "Sister You, I will believe you next time you tell me that you want to transform them into RVs."
Even if you tell her to change it into nuclear submarines and rockets, she will believe it!
Zheng Wanqing became excited: "Is it okay? I want to learn it too!!"
Unlike Guo Guo who was so tired that he couldn't even lift a finger, Zheng Wanqing was passionate and energetic about decoration matters. Every time she saw a project, she would quickly squeeze to the front and raise her hand - and then be ruthlessly rejected by Zhang You and Tang Xinjue.
"No, Wanqing, you are too strong and can't control it. It's easy to break the tools." Zhang You shook his head: "Delicate work is not suitable for you."
Zheng Wanqing pouted: "Then what should I do?"
Guo Guo leaned forward weakly: "Well, Miss, if you still have the strength, can you help me lift the chair?"
Since there were no painting and tiling tools, the last step of this simple decoration became floor paving protection.
In view of the fact that the bloody hands and bloody handprints extending from the walls and the ground in the "Classic Movie Appreciation" copy left a deep impression on the few people, they laid an extra layer of "carpet" on the ground where the main activity area, including the four beds, was located, and then spent 10 points to buy a bottle of "holy water" in the mall.
Guo Guo put the pendant into the holy water and stirred it. He waited until the holy water turned red before carefully taking it out. "I didn't expect that the exorcism skills I learned would be put to use here for the first time."
She was regretting that she didn't have time to perform the complicated exorcism techniques in the previous copy, and now all that emotion turned into nervousness.
Holy water was evenly sprinkled on the carpet, and Guo Guo squatted on the ground and drew the exorcism symbols. In the place where only the Yin-Yang eyes could see, the symbols flashed with faint light one after another, and Guo Guo finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Success!"
The next time a ghost tries to come out from underground, she will pull its head off and attach it to the ground as a night light!
11 o'clock at night.
After a busy night, the four people finished the "renovation". When they finally took a breath and looked around, they found that the dormitory had changed quietly.
Soft lights shone down from the ceiling, and the night lights on the fabric sliding doors reflected a star-like halo on the wall. The newly installed bed curtains were in different shapes, and various clothes and props were hung on the "bridge" connecting the four beds, as if connecting all the beds together, so there was no need to worry about being separated and trapped.
Maybe it wasn’t too good to look at, but it filled the four people’s chests with a sense of accomplishment.
"Hey, Miss, did you see that? The beautiful girl on your bed curtain was drawn by me!"
Guo Guo ate some biscuits while poking at Zheng Wanqing.
Zheng Wanqing blinked blankly: "Isn't that a pig?"
Guo Guo: "...Don't go to bed at night. Just sleep on the table."
Zheng Wanqing said seriously: "Sleeping on the table is not good for your lumbar spine. Are you having the old habit of staying up late again?"
Guo Guo: "...Don't talk to me, I'm tired."
This is true, they are indeed tired.
After washing up, eating and drinking, the time was approaching midnight and sleepiness was overwhelming. They didn't even have time to discuss buying enhancements from the mall and winning the lottery before they all fell asleep one after another.
Anyway, tomorrow is the weekend, so let's leave the rest of the things to tomorrow.
"Ding ding dong, ding dong ding, ding ding dong ding dong—"
A burst of music, seemingly far away yet near, drifted into the ears of the candidate who was sleeping soundly.
"On Monday I carried my schoolbag and went to school happily"
"On Tuesday I picked up my pen and paper and took the exam seriously."
"I got my results on Wednesday and the teacher praised me for being a good kid."
"I studied hard on Thursday and I am so happy to be promoted to the next grade."
“I’ll invite my friends to come here on Friday.”
"The beautiful weekend is here, what should I do?"
"Dear classmate, wake up, what are you going to do on your weekend?"
The moment she woke up from her dream, Zheng Wanqing thought that the TV was not turned off last night and she was woken up by some strange and noisy program.
But when she looked up, she found that the TV screen was quietly flashing with snow and the room was silent.
That singing just now...was she dreaming?
Zheng Wanqing turned her head in confusion, her eyes suddenly became stern: Tang Xinjue had sat up from the bed at some point and was checking his phone.
Seeing his roommate looking at him, Tang Xinjue shook his phone to signal her to look at the content on the APP.
On the exam interface, the original exam information has become blank, with only one line of text left:
[Dear classmates, happy weekend! During this wonderful day off, you received an invitation to the "Dormitory Friendship League". Do you accept the invitation? ]
【whether】
The bed creaked, and Zhang You and Guo Guo woke up one after another and saw the news.
...Friendly League?
"Our guess was correct."
Tang Xin Jue rolled down and walked to the balcony window: "The sudden group exam on Friday is probably to make us adapt to this mode in advance."
There is cooperation among dormitories, and naturally there is also competition... or confrontation.
The screen, which was flashing with snowflakes, suddenly vibrated, and the face of the long-tongued, noseless ghost flashed. This time, it wore a red hat in a particularly solemn manner, pressed the work bell, and laughed loudly and shrilly:
"Welcome to the special weekend edition of the Daily News! It's time for a great college town game day!"
After laughing loudly for more than ten seconds, Noseless Ghost finally coughed and took a sip of water, then cleared his throat: "Ahem, let's see which dormitories have entered the competition venue so far?"
"First up is the most popular 'Dormitory Brawl' in the university town! You only need 3 credits to participate, and the number of dormitories that have entered so far is... 0!"
Noseless Ghost paused. "It's okay. Let's take a look at the second exam, which is also the "Dormitory Friendship League" that the residents are looking forward to. It only takes 2 credits to register for this game. The number of dormitories that have entered is... 0?"
Noseless Ghost wiped the sweat off his forehead. "It's okay, it's okay. We still have the third exam, the Freshman Challenge, which only requires 1 credit. That's right, only 1 credit... Oh! Two dormitories have already joined!"
The host smiled happily: "I believe everyone knows that as long as the number of participants from the same teaching area reaches 10, the competition will start immediately. The prizes for participating are very generous, and there will be super surprise prizes for winning. Students who have not participated yet should hurry up and don't miss it! There is still a countdown to the start of the competition-"
Tang Xinjue looked at the time on his phone as the announcement was being made, and the hands showed exactly 7:30.
The TV announced on time: "There is still a countdown - 30 minutes!"
There were a few rustling sounds behind them, and everyone had finished packing up as quickly as possible. The four of them gathered together and looked at each other.
Zhang You adjusted the frame of his glasses and asked the most important question: "How about we join in?"
