Chapter 1: A Real New Beginning

On the second Sunday of September, Lu Yuansheng, who had only been back in Chidu for two weeks, packed his luggage and walked out of the house again. He did the math, and he didn't seem to have had a good night's sleep in his bed for two weeks.

He will go through the enrollment process with the new students of the Institute of Future Science and Technology, but he will have to wait until tomorrow Monday's working hours to register his information. However, relying on the fake identity of an old student, he can move into the dormitory without registration.

And the dormitory manager didn't carefully check his true identity at all, and even Lu Yuansheng took the initiative to ask the other party if he wanted to register any procedures, so the uncle reluctantly sat up straight, casually glanced at his student ID card that had just been made not long ago, and waved his hand to let him go upstairs.

This may be the most perfunctory level of security Lu Yuansheng has ever seen, even the security guards in the shopping mall at least look a little more imposing, which makes him worry about the safety of living in the dormitory in the future.

Walking further into the corridor, it is deserted and no one can be seen, but think about it, the normal start time of the old students is still a week, and only the new students have to enter the school early to make various preparations. But the old cameras in the corridor made him frown, and the monitoring blind spots were ridiculously large, as long as he remembered the location of the cameras, he would not be found even if he closed his eyes.

Walking up the stairs to the fifth floor, I came to the door of his dormitory, and was about to knock on the door to see if any roommates were inside.

But who knows, this door is not locked, it is opened with a light push, and it is not locked when I see that it is not locked, and simply glue the edge of the door with pieces of paper and tape, so that the door can just jam the door frame.

A cold wind blew out, and the air conditioner was turned on to the lowest level in the small room, and the morning sun had just passed, leaving only a trace of light and shadow on the curtains drawn up by the window.

On the furthest bed, a buddy wearing a full-sense helmet sat up in a daze, he was shirtless, as if he was not afraid of the cold at all. He squinted his eyes, seeing that he still looked down, and then took off his helmet, revealing a shoulder-length hair that had been specially set aside, and at the same time took out a pair of glasses and put them on, so that he could see the person clearly.

"Yo, brother, are you the new roommate who just left the army?"

"Yes, my name is Lu Yuansheng, good morning."

Lu Yuansheng smiled and said hello, and then put the big and small bags of luggage down.

He saw Lu Yuansheng put down his luggage, and quickly climbed out of bed, with only a pair of big pants on his body, about the same height as Lu Yuansheng, but he was much thinner, and his scattered hair looked like a messy bird's nest.

"Brother, I'm sorry, although I heard the counselor say that you were coming yesterday, but I didn't expect you to come so early, so I didn't have time to clean up. In addition, my name is Lin Baize, and I am the Bai Ze of that divine beast. ”

As he spoke, he climbed one step ahead of Lu Yuansheng onto the only empty bed, which was full of all kinds of miscellaneous items.

"It's okay, I'll just come."

Lu Yuansheng didn't expect the other party to be so enthusiastic, so he had to help the other party take the box handed down below, and at the same time chatted about various things.

There are two other people in their dormitory, one is said to be a fat man named Zhou Ju with an official accent, and the other is the first in their grade, a nerd named Cao Jinyun. Although there are two classes in their major, with a total of 70 people, Cao Jinyun's score is still close to a perfect score.

But it's a pity that both of them won't come back until the official start of school, and only Lin Baize, a guy who wants to make up for the exam, will arrive at the school in advance to prepare for the exam.

There aren't many things on the bed, so I can clean it up quickly, and I just need to wipe it a little more, and I can go to sleep. Lin Baize stopped helping, put up a towel and basin and walked out of the door to wash.

Without Lin Baize, Lu Yuansheng's movements were much faster, and everything was dealt with in less than five minutes, after all, he didn't have too detailed requirements for the living environment.

After doing all this, he began to observe the layout of this small room out of professional habit.

Lin Baize is obviously a current charge, his desktop has all kinds of photography weeklies, personal computers and virtual dual-purpose consoles still maintain standby screens, and then some sports posters, in short, there is nothing related to learning.

He picked up a weekly photography magazine and flipped through it, mainly portrait photography, which was in line with the bright and warm tone of summer.

Lu Yuansheng has been in the black and white world for a long time, and he will inevitably like some colorful pictures. However, he still prefers landscapes to portraits, but unfortunately the magazines on Lin Baize's desktop are all portrait themes.

He was a little interested in learning photography, after all, it was rare to enter the academy, and he wanted to record some ordinary and interesting daily life.

After reading it, he put the magazine back in its place perfectly, barely seeing any noticeable changes.

On the opposite side of Lin Baize is Zhou Ju's bed, which looks messy, with all kinds of bottles and cans underneath, and a strange smell. There is even an electromagnetic boiler among them, obviously this person usually cooks in the dormitory, but these are contraband, according to the school rules that Lu Yuansheng understands, once it is found out, the most serious situation may be punished with a demerit.

However, when he thought of the lazy uncle, Lu Yuansheng estimated that these regulations did not have much ability to enforce them.

And opposite him was the table where Cao Jinyun was a god, and it was really clean, only books.

He picked up a dictionary-thick "History of the Modern Development of the World" and flipped through it cursoly, making notes on almost every page, and he was a little dizzy when he saw it. He couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, secretly saying that he wouldn't want to learn these boring things in the future, right? It's even more uncomfortable than going out on a mission.

At this time, there was a sound outside the door, and in the unmanned corridor, Lin Baize's singing could even cause echoes.

When Lu Yuansheng heard the movement, he didn't rush to put the book back, but turned to the door and wanted to wait for the other party to come in. But who knew that Lin Bai kicked open the door suddenly, still shirtless with big pants, and in front of him, he threw a towel in one hand and a basin in the other and turned around gorgeously.

As the saying goes, as long as you are not embarrassed, it is someone else who is embarrassed, Lin Baize looked at it without any embarrassment, continued to hum the song and walked to his bedside, and began to dry his hair, but Lu Yuansheng frowned, he didn't know what reaction to use to face this scene.

Fortunately, he has also seen a lot of weirdos, and his ability to accept them is relatively strong, and he holds back the grass in his heart.

But Lin Baize saw that he didn't react, but asked, "Brother, what's wrong, why are you stunned there?" ”

"No ....." Lu Yuansheng didn't know how to speak for a while, but when he saw the book still in his hand, he asked, "We usually learn this kind of class?" Can you finish it in one semester? ”

"Oh, the history of the modern development of the world, I haven't opened that book, and the teacher never talks about the content of the book, he always makes his own PPT, so Brother Cao will read it seriously as a storybook."

In order to make his voice more clear, Lin Baize also turned off some hair dryers.

"Then why do you buy this book?" Lu Yuansheng flipped over the back of the book and saw that a single copy was priced at more than 300 yuan, which was not cheap, so he blurted out: ", why is it so expensive?" ”

"The price was written for the school, and it was discounted directly in our hands, but the publisher didn't make any less money, but some of the schools in the middle helped us out. This is quite cheap, the really expensive is the kind of imported books in pure Western Continent, a copy costs a few thousand yuan, if the school doesn't also cover some of it, then it really can't even afford textbooks. ”

Lu Yuansheng realized that there was such an advantage to studying in a good college. It was his first time going to school, and he never knew there was such a welfare policy.

This kind of welfare is actually the consistent tradition of Dongzhou College, although the knowledge is precious, but what is more precious is the knowledge that has been learned in the mind. As long as there are suitable people who are willing to learn, the price of acquiring knowledge will never be the threshold of Dongzhou people.

However, his reaction also aroused Lin Baize's confusion and asked, "Brother, didn't you know about this before?" ”

"I've been a soldier for two years, and I've almost forgotten about it, besides, why don't you go to read the textbook if you have nothing to do, what is the price?"

Lu Yuansheng hurriedly found a reason to prevaricate, and this reason obviously hit Lin Baize's laughter.

"Hahahaha....... Yes, yes, it's good to be able to flip through the book, and it depends on the price. ”

Lin Baize had already dried his hair at this time, after the hot wind blew, his long hair was slightly curly and looked very flowing at the same time, and then changed into a white shirt and slim trousers, and finally put on glasses, as long as he didn't speak, it was a gentle and elegant literary youth.

After finishing the incident, he deliberately made a gesture to Lu Yuansheng to hold his glasses, and at the same time showed a sly smile and said, "What's the matter, buddy is okay, right?" ”

"Damn, why are you so sassy on the first day I came."

Lu Yuansheng couldn't help it, and couldn't help but scold.

"Hahahaha, don't I treat you as a brother? Now it's just the two of us, who else is with whom? ”

He smiled and took out a photographic toolbox from the cabinet, which contained a set of lenses of various sizes. He picked two of them and put them in a new portable toolbox along with a camera body.

"Are you good at taking pictures?"

Even if Lu Yuansheng didn't recognize these photographic equipment, he knew that the pile of lenses was worth a lot of money without thinking about it.

"That's it, brother, I won't hide it from you, I'm a little famous photographer." As he spoke, he picked up a magazine from the table, flipped to a page of school-style girl images, and said proudly: "Look, this is what I shot, cow." ”

Lu Yuansheng leaned over and took the magazine as if he hadn't read it, but still praised sincerely: "Niu, I originally planned to learn it too, but looking at your equipment, I feel that I can't afford to sell it." ”

"Alas, brother, don't mention it, this is all a trap of consumerism, I finally made a little money by taking pictures and was about to be cheated out, an ordinary optical lens, plus an AI optical assistant, I dare to sell it for three times the price, the result is not much better, I am now so poor that I can only rely on small loans."

Chen Baize pointed to the lens he had just taken out and said bitterly.

"Listen to my brother's advice, don't play this, it's poisonous."

"Then why do you have to do so much?"

"Hey, brother, you don't understand, this equipment is up, who cares if you can take pictures?"

After that, Chen Baize stretched out his finger and tapped the magazine that Lu Yuansheng was holding in his hand, and at the same time showed a "you know" smile.

"Don't talk about it, there's someone else asking me out, I have to leave quickly."

Seeing Chen Baize smiling, trotting out of the room briskly, how could there be anything close to the make-up exam, Lu Yuansheng guessed that the other party was afraid that he had made an appointment with some beautiful sister.

He smiled and shook his head, envious of this simple, ordinary and fulfilling life, where he didn't have to think about fighting and killing every day, and he could have enough time to record the beauty of life.

Seeing that it was already noon, he wanted to try the food in the cafeteria, but suddenly realized that he had not completed the student registration procedures and could not use the school's online payment system.

Fortunately, he still has to go to work for the security bureau today, so it shouldn't be too much to stop by for a meal.

Approaching the entrance of new students, Guangfa Supermarket specially bought a batch of daily necessities, which were piled up in the most conspicuous place in the hall for sale.

Lu Yuansheng cheekily begged for a staff meal with ingredients on the cooked meal, but before he ate two bites of hot rice, he saw Lin Yusheng give him a look.

There was no way, just take two more bites, eat all the most critical meat dishes, he wiped his mouth and went straight to the manager's room.

But Lin Yusheng didn't expect him to come so quickly, and was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly beckoned him to sit down, and handed over a plate of freshly cut oranges at the same time.

Lu Yuansheng was not polite, after all, vitamins are a necessary ingredient to maintain health.

"Manager Lin, is there anything important?"

"No, no, no, it's just a little thing. You also know that the bottom will be used as a research site in the future, so the entrance to the bottom is not only for us, but also for some professors and leaders of the Future Science and Technology Institute. ”

"But in our experience, freshmen are at their most curious when they first enter the house, and they always like to explore around the college, and every year we meet a few students who find hidden entrances."

"Although it is almost impossible for them to enter it, but just in case, we will still pay more attention recently, and your current status is a student, it will be easier to act than us, and I hope you can pay attention to this aspect of things when you have time recently."

It turned out to be overtime arranged for himself, but this was also part of his task, so Lu Yuansheng agreed.

However, Lin Yusheng looked at Lu Yuansheng, who was eating oranges, and rubbed his hands again, obviously having something to say.

"Manager Lin, if there's something to do, it's okay to say it."

Lin Yusheng looked at the monitoring on the display screen again, and then lowered his voice and asked: "Recently, I heard some news that each cave will usher in an inspection, I don't know if you know anything?" ”

But he was afraid that Lu Yuansheng would misunderstand what he meant, so he quickly explained: "I'm not afraid of any inspection, but I feel ...... Recently, there has been a bit of an increase in the attention of the above. ”

"After all, you and I are at the same level, and I will also tell you a little bit about it, recently our Security Bureau alone has conducted several internal inspections, not counting the army's own inspections, and now it is your turn to countermeasure the Bureau. Moreover, the original expenses of Dongtian were already large, and the funds have always been a little stretched, but recently, this fund has actually increased a little. ”

"I'm worried...... Nothing big is going to happen, is it? ”

He leaned forward and said in a voice that only Lu Yuansheng had, "Going to war?" ”

Lu Yuansheng almost laughed out loud, but his reaction also made Lin Yusheng smile slightly, and sure enough, this overseer who was suddenly sent in knew something.

I don't know if it was because of Lin Baize's influence in the morning, Lu Yuansheng's mentality relaxed a lot, he knew that he didn't control his expression well, so he simply reminded the other party:

"The recent Chidu is not peaceful, and our countermeasures bureau seems to have dealt with several major events recently, although it will definitely not be a war with anyone, but we should be careful."

"In danger?"

"It's hard to say, but who would worry about our little broken place, Manager Lin, you just need to do everything as usual."

Lu Yuansheng carefully confirmed it several times, the cave under this place was empty, there was nothing, who would be okay to think of invading here, it couldn't be a special trip to find himself, right?
