Chapter 188 Admission Welcome Ceremony (I)

Although the applause was thunderous, in fact, the eyes in the sight did not move, but the applause came from out of thin air.
In a way, this might be better - after all, even Tang Xinjue found it hard to imagine what the scene would be like if a pair of hands came out from those eyeballs and clapped.
She was digesting the scene in front of her, but her roommate who woke up later was even more unlucky. She didn't even have time to buffer. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was greeted by two rows of big eyeballs and overwhelming applause.
Guo Guo rolled his eyes and almost returned to the zombie copy on the spot.
“What…what is this…?”
She swallowed the last word "ghost", fearing that it would touch upon some unspeakable keyword and cause this strange scene to mutate immediately.
The four people stood at the starting position, and no one had any intention of moving forward.
The applause continued for a long time. Perhaps because they did not move, the space began to change on its own. The four of them saw that the distance in front of them was decreasing at a constant speed, and the two rows of eyeballs were getting closer and closer, and in a moment they were in front of them.
“…”
The deep voice sounded again: "The applause is over——"
The applause suddenly stopped, and the space became extremely quiet, with only countless eyeballs staring at it.
Guo Guo almost wanted to put an oxygen tank on himself: Help, it would be better to continue clapping!
After a moment, Tang Xin Jue broke the silence: "Excuse me, what do we need to do now?"
This sudden welcome ceremony brought them here and gathered so many... unprecedented eyeballs. They couldn't just come here to applaud, right?
A few seconds later, from the opposite direction of the deep voice, another clear child's voice answered:
"The purpose of the welcome ceremony is to help new students gain a preliminary understanding of the university's faculty, enhance the relationship between teachers and students, and build mutual understanding. This will help establish good communication channels in advance, allowing students to develop a sense of belonging to the university and successfully complete their studies."
Tang Xin Jue looked at the densely packed eyeballs on both sides and pondered, "So, how do we get to know each other?..."
"This session is over!"
...The applause just now?
Is it true that humans can tell the identity of two rows of still eyeballs?
Without giving the four people time to think about their lives, a clear child's voice announced the next segment:
"Next, the counselors and the academic supervisor will present the new students with exquisite admission gift packages—"
As soon as the words fell, a sound of breaking air came quickly from above!
606 reacted very quickly and stepped back, and a huge gift box at least five people tall fell where they were just now.
Two eyeballs, one red and one white, hovered above the gift box. The red eyeball glanced at them nervously, confirming that the four of them were not crushed, before bouncing away. The white eyeball simply rolled its pupils without apology, and a voice appeared in their minds:
[Friendly reminder, please go back quickly and don't stay too long. This is a public area for rent.]
Public domain?
This word flashed through Tang Xinjue's mind, and he looked up, only to find that the two banners hanging high in the space had disappeared at some point.
As the premonition emerged, that deep voice spoke again:
"The freshman welcome party was a complete success—"
Almost in the next moment, all the eyeballs in the sight disappeared at the same time, without half a second of delay, and the speed was as fast as office workers getting off work.
In the blink of an eye, they .
The four of them looked at each other.
Are you really here just to applaud?
It’s fine that they come and go in a hurry, but what’s the point of abandoning them?
Guo Guo asked in surprise: "How do we go back now?"
There was white all around, and I couldn't see where the exit was.
After a quick glance around, Tang Xinjue decisively said, "Move the gift box first."
If the eye roll was correct, she probably knew the meaning behind the phrase "public domain".
The four people stood at the four corners of the giant box, prepared themselves mentally, and then lifted it up at the same time - instead of feeling the expected weight, they felt a top-heavy and unbalanced feeling.
This box is actually lighter than cotton?
In a moment of stumbling, several people felt their feet suddenly empty. The last thing they saw when they looked down was a circular black hole directly below the gift box.
thump!
Guo Guo was completely dazed after the fall, clutching his waist with his hands, feeling hopeless. "Is this the first time we've escaped a dungeon in such a tragic way?"
In the past, at the very least, I would wake up from the desk, but this time, I actually fell down!
Zhang You said quietly, "This may indirectly reflect that as the university's level rises, our living conditions will become worse."
She turned on her phone, and a few new words suddenly appeared on her personal information screen:
[One university]
Fortunately, the inexplicable "freshman welcome party" didn't affect the normal distribution of exam rewards. The four of us received an average of over 80 points, and we also gained a lot of lucky draw opportunities and achievement titles, so overall it was a success.
——If the gift box wasn't stuck.
Zheng Wanqing tapped the phone interface in disbelief, but no matter what the four of them did, there was only one sentence on the screen:
[This prize is too large. We detected that the current space is insufficient and cannot be loaded. Please expand the space and try again.]
Recalling the mountain-like size of the gift box, the four of them fell silent.
So, after such a grand welcoming ceremony, other than making people's sanity levels plummet, this is the only result left?
What’s the difference between this and setting up a group of hundreds of people on a shopping app to withdraw red envelopes, and then finding out at the last minute that it’s a voucher?
Guo Guo was not giving up: "How about we expand the dormitory?"
Before he could finish his words, a mall push notification popped up on his phone:
[Buy a bedroom decoration package today, not 998, not 698, only 388! ]
Guo Guo: "...rubbish game, ruined my youth, ripped me off! Get lost!"
Games are never human, but life goes on.
Despite having eaten a lot in the dungeon, he still felt a steady pang of hunger upon returning to [game time]. Zhang You made a few bags of noodles, and the four of them ate while studying the updated app interface.
After officially entering a first-tier university, the Dorm Survival App received another overhaul, featuring not only an improved interface but also enhanced details. Several people even noticed a feature called "Optimize Yourself," which allowed them to monitor their physical condition and provide a development plan with a single click.
Guo Guo clicked on it curiously and quickly got the following feedback:
Your physical fitness rating is 27 out of 100.
[Areas you need to improve: limb strength, endurance, cell recovery, hair volume on top of your head...]
[The system recommends the following products: Green Brand Nutrient Solution, Bucs Group Hair Growth Agent…]
The page is unexpectedly short, but at the very bottom is a line of bold prompts:
[Currently only 1% of all reviews are displayed. Pay 1 credit to load the remaining 99%.]
“Scrap!!”
Guo Guo nodded angrily.
At the same time, Tang Xin Jue noticed another detail:
"Look at the bottom of our information column."
This time, when I clicked on the free "Remaining Display", two new attribute bars were listed. One of them was particularly eye-catching:
"Global Dorm Survival Rankings?"
This term is not difficult to understand, but what is really difficult to understand is what is displayed in the data grid at the back... It is still a garbled code?
