Chapter 562: Chapter 4: Rules Above All Else
"As C-level new students, your learning will depend on the central computer, and your primary living zones will be in Area C, which is the desert region under your feet. In special circumstances, do not leave the main living areas without authorization. Fighting and causing trouble in public areas of the campus is not allowed; three instances of fighting will result in a severe demerit." Once Romeo One finished speaking, it continued with the cleaning work around its designated area, leaving Xiao Xian and Zhang Yiyi to the side.
Relying on the limited information provided by Romeo One, Xiao Xian and Yiyi organized their thoughts. First of all, this so-called North Campus is not a physical entity; it’s a kind of spatial body, developed by several physicists with heaven-defying abilities as a virtual space. This space is divided into A, B, and C zones, with the living area for students in the Basic Class being the barren desert C zone, where not a single blade of grass grows.
"Xiao Xian," Zhang Yiyi was thoroughly confused, "where exactly are we?"
In order to survive what comes next, Xiao Xian felt it necessary to explain the situation to Zhang Yiyi.
She put her luggage down on the ground and recounted the entire sequence of recent events—including the incident she and Xuerou had kept from Yiyi, Monk Tianya, the colorful gecko, the concept of Cultivators and Superpower Users—yet she still did not mention her own spatial abilities. That secret was Xiao Xian’s bottom line.
Xiao Xian explained as simply as possible. As for how much Yiyi could understand, that was up to her.
The midday sun heated the sandy ground to an astonishing temperature. Zhang Yiyi gaped for a while, then slowly closed her mouth, her eyes filled with even more confusion than before.
"No matter what, we’re still together. As long as we’re together, there’s nothing to fear, just like on the basketball court, you defend, I attack," Zhang Yiyi let out a sigh. A simple person leads a simple life, and even in a new environment, she remained Zhang Yiyi.
"Not afraid of any trouble? That’s quite the bold statement," several figures appeared in front, prompting Xiao Xian to pull Zhang Yiyi back a few steps.
Xu Lan Ya, followed by the two female students who had left earlier, blocked the main road, "Fate really does make enemies meet. I’d like to see where you can run to now."
Even though Xu Changfu ordered Xu Song not to harm Xu Lan Ya for the sake of the Xu Family’s interests after the death of Xu Bohao, Xu Song, as the legitimate son, still used his status to suppress Xu Lan Ya and her father. Unable to get by in Guangdong, Xu Lan Ya sneaked into the Huake Institute’s Reverse Genius Class.
The enrollment policy of the Reverse Genius Class stipulates that members of the Basic Class must be under 15 years old, those in the Intermediate Class under 30, and members of the Advanced Class under 50. Having received good cultivation training since she was young and with the Xu Family’s inheritance, Xu Lan Ya was assessed to have a B potential value and a B ability value in the entrance test and became a member of the Intermediate Class.
The girls of the North Campus saw that Xu Lan Ya was beautiful, and as soon as she arrived, she received the admiration of several male students from both the Intermediate and even Advanced Classes, and quickly rallied a dozen girls from the Basic Class and a few from the Intermediate Class, becoming unrestrained and unopposed in Areas B and C.
"Who is she?" Zhang Yiyi had never seen Xu Lan Ya, and the latter’s haughty demeanor made Yiyi feel uncomfortable just looking at her.
"A venomous woman who even kills her own brother," Xiao Xian looked at Xu Lan Ya and saw a color between silver and gold. The last time Xiao Xian encountered Xu Lan Ya, she could not sense the spiritual energy of the people around her, but judging from the aura, Xu Lan Ya’s strength had improved a lot in just a few months.
"Shut up, you owe me and my father for the disdain we suffered in the family, plus the ginseng incident last time, hmm, today I will let you see what I’m capable of," Xu Lan Ya sneered, her charming face twisting in a way that made it even more repulsive.
The few girls from the Basic Class behind her closed in on Xiao Xian and Zhang Yiyi.
"Xiao Xian, these people seem pretty formidable. Should we..." Zhang Yiyi glanced around stealthily, her eyes only met with sand, and she had no idea in which direction to flee for safety.
Xiao Xian, however, was quite calm and did not show any signs of running away.
Just as Xu Lan Ya and her group were about to approach, another round-shaped object emerged from the sand: "Fighting in public areas is strictly forbidden, violators will have one thousand Heaven-defying Points deducted." The newly emerged robot looked similar to Romeo One, but with a different color; it was pink and had a more complex round shape with gears attached. When it moved quickly, it resembled a sharp electric gear.
