81: Chapter 81: I Challenge Ji All for the Purposes of Finding a Wife
After paying one million, the app finally popped up a smiley face, congratulating him on becoming a student of the Imperial Capital Martial Arts University.
Next, he clicked on the next step, which was to select a dormitory. There were male and female dormitories, and also cohabitation dormitories.
The two of them directly selected a cohabitation dormitory, and ten dormitory numbers popped up for them to choose from. Each dormitory number could be clicked on to see the environment.
But they were all much the same.
Yun Zhuo, however, was a little surprised. Isn't it said that the dormitories at the Imperial Capital Martial Arts University are all villas? Why did it become a collective dormitory when it came to me?
At this moment, the Short-haired Senior Female Student opposite him asked with a confused look: "Are you really Recommended Enrollment Students?"
Yun Zhuo smiled slightly: "Of course, is there a problem?"
The Short-haired Senior Female Student's cheeks flushed slightly: "Al-although the single-family dormitories in our school are only eligible for the top 500 students after the freshman assessment exam."
"B-but, the benefits for Recommended Enrollment Students are better than those for ordinary students. They can get various rewards on the first day of school, and the single-family dormitory is just the most inconspicuous one."
After speaking, she looked at Yun Zhuo somewhat embarrassedly, as if asking, how come you didn't even get a single-family dormitory?
Yun Zhuo wanted to know too. Now it seems likely that his Mother-in-law is sabotaging him.
Thinking of this, he smiled dashingly: "Isn't it just the top 500 freshmen? For us, that's like catching a turtle in a jar; it's a sure thing."
The Short-haired Senior Female Student giggled: "Then you have to work hard. Looking at these dormitory numbers, it seems you haven't even reached Rank 20 yet."
"You must strive to reach at least Rank 25 before the freshman assessment exam, otherwise it is impossible to pass the exam, and your admission qualifications will be canceled at that time."
"Is there any significance to these dormitory numbers?"
"The larger the first two digits, the higher the floor, and the denser the Corrosion Energy. In the same amount of time, the War Princess will absorb more Corrosion Energy, and the Rank will increase faster."
"Looking at the dormitory numbers selected for you, there isn't even one on the fourth floor. This is the lowest tier even among ordinary freshmen."
Hearing this, Yun Zhuo immediately chose dormitory number 0309, which was the only third-floor dormitory among the ten available ones.
The Short-haired Senior Female Student took a look at the holographic screen on Yun Zhuo's wristband: "Listening Wind Tower, that's a bit far. Do you want me to take you there?"
"Won't that delay you, Senior?"
"It won't delay me. I'm alone anyway, and welcoming new students is my job this year, so consider it an early internship."
"Where is your War Spirit Master?"
"He is training with his Main Battle War Princess. I am just his wingman providing support. Usually, he only brings me along when going into the Underground City or during exams."
"Are there many War Spirit Masters with wingmen in our school?"
"For freshmen, it's probably less than ten percent, but by sophomore year, basically everyone has one."
"Then there aren't enough War Princesses in the school, so you have to find them outside?"
"Yes." The Short-haired Senior Female Student nodded: "After an outside War Princess becomes a wingman, she can be admitted without an exam, so this is very attractive to War Princesses from other schools."
"That sounds quite cruel." In Yun Zhuo's view, being able to poach War Princesses from other schools meant that there would be War Spirit Masters losing their own War Princesses.
The Short-haired Senior Female Student seemed to see his thoughts and explained: "Actually, not all War Princesses have War Spirit Masters."
"When I was in high school, our school had more than fifty War Princesses who hadn't matched with a War Spirit Master."
"By the way, Junior, didn't your high school have any extra War Princesses?"
Yun Zhuo shook his head: "I rarely went to school. Without a War Spirit Master, how do you participate in the major exams? And how do you level up? If you can't level up, won't you be far behind your teammates in the future?"
The Short-haired Senior Female Student looked at Yun Zhuo. This Junior really doesn't understand anything.
Right, he comes from Dawn City.
I had heard before that Dawn City is a small border town and very backward.
Seeing him today, I didn't expect it to be so backward that he doesn't know anything.
"What's wrong, Senior? Is there something dirty on my face?"
"Ah? No, no, I was just thinking about how to explain it to you." The Short-haired Senior Female Student told a small white lie and continued: "War Princesses without War Spirit Masters can take a theoretical exam for the major exam and can still get into the Martial Arts University."
"As for increasing Rank, that requires a crimson essence stone. By purchasing a special collar and embedding a crimson essence stone, one can also increase Rank."
"But the crimson essence stone is a consumable. Before Rank 10, three crimson essence stones are enough, and from 10 to 20, you need twelve. In short, the higher the Rank, the more Corrosion Energy is needed, and the more crimson essence stones are consumed."
"At the same time, the conversion of Corrosion Energy is far inferior to the corrosion energy furnace of a War Spirit Master."
"And the selling price of one crimson essence stone is generally between 100,000 and 200,000, which an ordinary family simply cannot afford."
"Therefore, War Princesses with poor talent who haven't matched with a War Spirit Master usually give up on the martial arts path and become ordinary people."
"There is another way, which is a temporary contract with a War Spirit Master. Some talented War Spirit Masters, after Rank 10, have enough Mental Energy to barely afford the consumption of two War Princesses."
"At this time, the school will provide an azure essence stone, allowing a War Princess without a master to temporarily contract with him and become his leveling accessory."
"She can participate in the Martial Arts Examination with him and get into the university."
"By the way, Junior, you should know the principle of leveling up, right? Two War Princesses are equivalent to having one extra Corrosion Energy absorber, but generally, it won't exceed two. Even with more azure essence stones, it's impossible to strengthen the corrosion energy furnace three times."
"At this time, you need azure essence stones to lower the Corrosion Energy absorption efficiency of the War Princess. That is to say, after two War Princesses, no matter how many War Princesses there are, the leveling speed is the same."
Yun Zhuo is handsome, so the Short-haired Senior Female Student in front of him became very patient, answering every question regarding Yun Zhuo's common sense doubts.
For example, why are there bus stops in the school when a War Spirit Master can clearly ride a War Princess in her first form everywhere, which is faster than a car?
Because the War Princess and the War Spirit Master are only teammates, they live in different dormitories, and only stay together when going on missions and training.
Besides that, unless they are in a very good romantic relationship, a War Princess will not use her first form to give the War Spirit Master a ride.
And like Yun Zhuo, living in a couples' dormitory on the first day of school, it's not unheard of, but it is very rare.
Even by senior year, not many become couples with each other, but there are quite a few campus couples.
In other words, one person's girlfriend might be another person's War Princess.
It sounds like NTR, but on second thought, it's quite normal. For example, those who danced in his previous life, especially Latin dance, the female dance partners were dressed very passionately, but she might be someone else's girlfriend or wife.
There are also those whose wives are celebrities, watching their partners roll in the sheets with others, loving each other to death; who the hell could stand that?
No wonder the divorce rate in that circle is so high.
Anyway, Yun Zhuo couldn't be that generous and open-minded, so he was very cautious when challenging War Princesses; he was aiming to pick a wife.
The campus bus stopped in front of a green belt, and the three of them got off.
The Short-haired Senior Female Student pointed to the tree-lined path in front of her and said: "Walking forward from here is the Listening Wind Tower. I'll just see you off to here."
Yun Zhuo looked in the direction she pointed. Between the treetops and vegetation, one could faintly see the side of a twenty-plus-story building with the words "Listening Wind" written on it.
"Thanks, Senior. I'll treat you to milk tea another day."
The Short-haired Senior Female Student smiled slightly and didn't take Yun Zhuo's polite words seriously.
She turned her head to look at Teacher Su: "This Junior, do you know? You really look a lot like Teacher Su from our school's Remote Department, as if you were carved from the same mold."
Teacher Su said expressionlessly: "She is my sister."
