264: Section 264

"Besides, I heard that Elder Yi has been staying in the Old District specifically for this grandson!"

"Elder Yi is notoriously protective of his own; you can imagine the consequences yourself!"

After Director Zhou finished saying those few words, Teacher Li felt a chill run down his spine.

The Yi Family's reputation and status in the New District are substantial, to say the least.

Actually, Elder Yi is alright; now that he's older, he's considered quite amiable. He's not as hot-headed as he was in his youth.

But the people under the Yi Family are one more overbearing than the next.

Not to mention anyone else, even Lin Yi's cousin, Tang Qinru—Principal Tang's daughter—is a department director at the New District Ancient Medicine Medical Bureau and a 6-star Alchemist.

Even without the backing of the Yi Family or the Tang Family, her status as a 6-star Alchemist alone is not something anyone can afford to offend.

Besides her, there are the others from the Yi Family. None of them are pushovers. If those grandaunts and ancestors of the Yi Family found out Lin Yi was being mistreated at school, even with Tang Baichuan around, they could still level Xingwu University.

Moreover, above them all is Elder Yi. As one of the elders of the Martial Arts Alliance, he is a man who means what he says.

However, besides all this, what they don't know is that behind Lin Yi, there is an even more troublesome entity: the Martial Suppression Bureau.

If the people from the Martial Suppression Bureau found out that someone was hindering Lin Yi from Cultivating...

"Director Zhou, why didn't you say so earlier? I almost caused a huge disaster!"

Teacher Li's face turned sallow, and his breathing became labored. If that disaster had truly occurred, it wouldn't be as simple as just losing his job. His whole family might have been implicated.

Director Zhou was on the verge of tears: "I only just found out myself; Principal Tang called me to his office! Otherwise, how could I have known that there was a little ancestor from the Yi Family among the new students from the Old District this year!"

"Sister Xue, is there a story behind this dormitory zoning? What's the difference between Dormitory Area 1 and the other areas?"

After leaving the Resource Office, Lin Yi asked with some curiosity. Not just him, but even Wei Nan, Zhou Qi, and Sun Tao were all curious about how the dormitory areas were divided.

Qin Zhaoxue smiled: "The difference is huge! Let's put it this way: the Cafeteria, Training Grounds, task boards... these are all categorized by dormitory area!"

"Let me give you a simple example so you can understand! For instance, all tasks are standardized from 1-star to 5-star! 1-star tasks are the lowest with the fewest rewards, while 5-star tasks are the highest with plenty of rewards!"

"There are nine dormitory areas in total in the school. The tasks in Dormitory Area 1 start at 3 stars. This includes the food in the Cafeteria, which is the best in the school, as well as the most complete Training Grounds and the most Medical Bureaus. It even comes with a Library that you can visit for free..."

"In District 9, tasks start at 1 star and go up to 3 stars, with 4-star or 5-star tasks appearing occasionally, though the probability is very low. Now do you understand the difference?"

After Qin Zhaoxue finished her brief introduction, Lin Yi, Zhou Qi, and Wei Nan finally had an epiphany.

Wei Nan: "Goodness, if Director Zhou hadn't arrived in time just now and switched our dormitory area, we would have ended up in those lousy districts?"

"By the way, Lin Yi, that Director Zhou earlier seemed to be aiming for you? Did you pull some strings or use connections?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Chapter 207 Dormitory Roommates

"Alright, I'll see you off here. I can't enter the male dormitory! You go on by yourselves; if you have any problems, just give me a call!"

Qin Zhaoxue escorted Lin Yi, Wei Nan, and the others all the way to the outside of Dormitory Area 1. From here on, she and Shen Mengyi couldn't enter. Lin Yi and the others thanked her repeatedly.

If Qin Zhaoxue hadn't been guiding them along the way today, this massive Xingwu University would definitely have gotten them lost. It was just too big.

From entering the school gate to the Admissions Office, they had walked for nearly twenty minutes. After finishing enrollment and going to get their Martial Artist certification, they walked for another ten-plus minutes. By now, it was already noon.

In other words, most of their morning had been wasted on the road. And this was with Qin Zhaoxue guiding them the whole way. If they had come on their own, they probably wouldn't have been able to finish these tasks in a day.

After Lin Yi and the others said their goodbyes to Qin Zhaoxue, she took Shen Mengyi back to the female Dormitory Area 1. Both of them were in the same dormitory area, so they could look out for each other.

"This school is too big. Just this one dormitory area is about the same size as our No. 3 High School, isn't it?"

Entering Dormitory Area 1, Wei Nan looked at the massive sports field and the rows of dormitory buildings, unable to help but sigh in exclamation.

Lin Yi, Zhou Qi, and the others were equally shocked. Xingwu University was truly larger than they had expected. Especially since it had its own independent Cafeteria, Library, Training Grounds, and other facilities, so they wouldn't need to compete with other students in the school.

Walking into Dormitory Area 1, there were very few students on the sports field, and the environment was relatively quiet. It wasn't noisy or chaotic.

Moreover, according to Qin Zhaoxue, the students who could live in Dormitory Area 1 were mostly locals from the New District; there were basically no students from the Old District. Clearly, this was a form of regional discrimination and segregation.

The Martial Arts University in the New District, in every aspect, would take better care of the local students from the New District, while being somewhat cold towards students from the Old District.

Lin Yi and the others found Dormitory Building No. 1. Looking at the dormitory number on their room cards, they made their way up to the fifth floor.

"505, this room is Sun Tao and Zhou Qi's; the two of us need to keep going!"

Zhou Qi and Sun Tao both nodded with a smile. "See you in a bit then, we're going in!" The two smiled and walked into the dormitory together.

Lin Yi and Wei Nan continued walking forward for a while. "508, this is it!" Wei Nan stopped outside a dormitory door. Looking at the number above, this was his and Lin Yi's dormitory.

"Fancy enough. You even need to swipe a card to enter; someone who didn't know better would think they were in a hotel!" After Wei Nan finished saying this with a smile, he took the room card and gently swiped it on the door.

When they heard a soft "beep," the door automatically opened a crack. The two walked in one after the other.

This was a four-person dormitory. They had assumed the dormitory would be like what they expected, with four bunk beds on either side upon entering.
