1: Enter the Girls' Dormitory

Blue Star, Ancheng of Great Xia Country.

The scorching sun hung high, it was noon.

Ancheng University's female dormitory building.

A flash of white light appeared, and Qin Shilei abruptly materialized in the open space in front of the female dormitory.

The few girls who witnessed this scene rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

"Transmigration? Rebirth?"

"Teleportation?"

"Am I seeing things?"

Qin Shilei was also bewildered; he had been playing games all night and just drifted off to sleep when he found himself here.

A few bolder girls were about to surround him when a neutral voice suddenly appeared in their minds.

[The apocalypse has arrived, the entire world is being gamified!]

[The world is about to be overrun by zombies and various mutated creatures; surviving is your only goal!]

[This is a world where danger and opportunity coexist.]

[Zombies and mutated animals have crystals within their bodies; absorbing these crystals can make you stronger.]

[Strength levels are divided into: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, and King.]

[Treasure chests, secret realms, and dungeons will randomly appear in various locations on Blue Star; you may obtain generous rewards from them.]

[Everyone has a 0.1 cubic meter spatial ring.]

The voice emanating directly from their minds caused everyone to unconsciously stop, looking left and right to find the source of the sound.

Qin Shilei quickly spun around once.

Besides noticing that the sky was excessively red, as if stained with blood, he found nothing else.

He couldn't find the source of the voice.

[Building digitized world...]

This time, he was sure the voice appeared out of nowhere in his mind.

In the upper left corner of his vision, there was also a continuously decreasing number.

57... 56... 54

Is the apocalypse really coming?

Will zombies really appear?

Is this decreasing number the countdown to gamification, or the time until zombies appear?

If zombies truly appear, will some people here turn into zombies, or will they suddenly spawn?

A series of questions flashed through Qin Shilei's mind like lightning.

It's better to believe it than not.

Time was pressing, so he could only deduce based on the most reasonable, worst-case scenario:

Zombies would emerge from the surrounding crowd.

Staying in a crowd would be very dangerous then.

Qin Shilei looked around.

This should be a university, and he was currently standing in front of a female dormitory building.

There were three other dormitory buildings around, which should also be female dormitories.

He didn't find any independent empty rooms or suitable tools.

The number in the upper left corner had already become 42... 41...

Now, the surrounding girls were all anxiously searching for the source of the voice in their minds.

Qin Shilei darted into the dormitory.

Behind him, Auntie Dorm Manager's angry roar came.

"You brat, stop right there!"

To avoid being caught by Auntie Dorm Manager, Qin Shilei lightened his steps as soon as he stepped onto the stairs and ran up to the fifth floor.

Once on the fifth floor, he turned towards the east side of the corridor.

The first dormitory, its door wide open, had a girl playing on her phone, dressed only in her underwear.

Skipped.

The second one, its door was tightly shut.

He knocked on the door.

"Who forgot their key again? Now I have to get out of bed."

Someone was inside, so he continued to the next room.

Then, three consecutive rooms either had their doors open or someone responded.

Qin Shilei frowned slightly, complaining to himself:

"These girls, really, why don't they go on dates or study in the library? What are they doing cooped up in the dormitory?"

This dormitory was the last one on this side; if there was still someone, he could only try the west side.

19... 18... 17

The number in the upper left corner made Qin Shilei's knocking much more urgent.

Three seconds later, no one responded.

"Phew, finally, an empty dormitory."

Qin Shilei stepped back.

Bang!

He kicked the door, but it didn't open.

This door was of exceptionally good quality.

Bang!

The door finally opened.

Qin Shilei slipped into the dormitory.

"Brat, don't run!"

Auntie Dorm Manager had actually chased him to the fifth floor.

The lock was already broken, so Qin Shilei directly dragged the bed by the door to block it.

11... 10

"Ah!"

A girl with wet hair, wrapped in a bath towel, came out of the bathroom, screamed, and then retreated back into the bathroom.

"Pervert, get out of here!"

So fair, so alluring!

Qin Shilei lost himself for a moment, then secretly started complaining again.

"Why didn't you respond if you were in the dormitory? What do we do now?"

“Bang, bang, bang.”

Auntie Dorm Manager seemed to be trying to smash the door down.

8... 7...

Qin Shilei scanned the dormitory but found nothing to use for self-defense.

The girl had locked herself in the bathroom; if she turned into a zombie, she probably wouldn't open the door, right?

Thinking this, Qin Shilei felt much more at ease and pulled the bed on the left to help block the door.

3... 2... 1

[Gamification complete]

"Pervert, if you have the guts, don't leave."

The girl's angry voice came from the bathroom.

Didn't turn into a zombie?

Auntie Dorm Manager's knocking also stopped.

Did she go to find someone?

Does that mean zombies won't appear immediately?

What now?

Qin Shilei felt very flustered.

Soon, he would be taken away by the police.

"Perverted beast brazenly broke into a female dormitory in broad daylight and has now been arrested by the police."

Such news would flood the entire internet.

How humiliating!

Just then, a graceful figure emerged from the bathroom.

Like a lotus emerging from water, trailing a long gauze, her face like the rising sun, blooming with colorful radiance. Dark clouds coiled, obscuring her jade-like body, a celestial maiden descending to a jade couch.

The girl held a toilet brush in both hands, pointing at Qin Shilei with a cold expression.

Alas, what a beautiful scene of a beauty bathing, completely ruined.

"This is just a misunderstanding, do you believe me?"

Qin Shilei spread his hands, saying helplessly.

"Don't move."

An Qian slowly moved towards the bed, still pointing the toilet brush at Qin Shilei.

She opened the wardrobe and pulled out a long sword.

Her movements were agile, done in one fluid motion.

Wait, where did that long sword come from?

"Clang!"

The long sword was unsheathed, and it was actually sharpened.

"Pervert, you're dead."

An Qian approached Qin Shilei with a cold expression.

The cold glint from the sword made Qin Shilei a little flustered.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Loud knocking sounds echoed from outside the room again.

Could it be the people Auntie Dorm Manager found?

"Oh."

Qin Shilei noticed a transparent screen appear in the upper left corner.

Following his thoughts, the regional chat channel within the interface opened.

"Our Blue Star really got gamified?"

"I'm stuck in the toilet, there are a few zombies constantly knocking outside, what do I do?"

"Mom, are you there? Please answer me."

"Thankfully I'm a shut-in playing games at home, otherwise I'd definitely be eaten by zombies..."

"Wuwuwu, my parents both turned into zombies, and now they're knocking on my door, I... I don't want to live."

Qin Shilei wasn't sure whether to be glad his reputation was saved or to worry about the zombies he was about to face.

"Do you have a transparent screen in your upper left corner? You should check the regional chat channel inside it first."

"Or go to the balcony at the back and see what's happening outside."

Qin Shilei pointed his right hand at the empty space in the other person's upper left corner, signaling her to look at the game interface.

"Hmph, don't try to distract me and snatch my sword. Otherwise, I'll accidentally stab you a few times."

An Qian was about to give the other party a good beating and then call the police.

Who knew her peripheral vision really caught sight of a transparent screen in the upper left corner?

As she operated it, her face became increasingly grim.

An Qian picked up her phone from the table with her left hand and hurried to the balcony at the back.

Qin Shilei looked at the door behind him; it was temporarily stable, so he also followed her to the balcony.

A sweet fragrance permeated his heart, making him Can't help it take two deep breaths.

"Ding, All Things Entry Refresh System is activating..."

The golden finger has arrived.

It's stable!
