Near noon, Meng Shenzhou and Chu Xiongtian came to Room 317 to find Lin Shuguang. Pang Hu and the other two had not expected Lin Shuguang to know anyone at school, and they were very envious.
Going to school far from home with good friends to keep you company simply could not have been better.
Lin Shuguang and the other two left campus and got into the car Meng Shenzhou had called. Following the wealthy young man's arrangements, they headed to a restaurant he had booked well in advance.
"Honestly, I still don't understand why we have to do our training camp at the branch campus. Otherwise, we could be living in villas... I don't even have anywhere to cultivate in a dorm like this," Meng Shenzhou grumbled in the car.
Chu Xiongtian laughed. "In sophomore year, you can choose a two-person villa. There are mixed-sex ones too. You could give it a try."
"But that's still a year away! Oh, right, Old Lin, what are your roommates like?" Meng Shenzhou looked at Lin Shuguang.
Lin Shuguang asked casually, "Did someone in your dorm mess with you?"
Chu Xiongtian looked over too.
Meng Shenzhou shook his head. "Not really. I just feel like they're too weak. I'm afraid I might accidentally crush them to death."
Chu Xiongtian: "..."
Lin Shuguang could not help laughing either. "It's a Demon Martial tradition. Everyone has to live together when they first enroll. Everyone went through it."
Chu Xiongtian added, "I've heard older Demon Martial students say that once you enter Demon Martial, you're family. They really value the idea of a collective, like the military-one big collective. Everyone starts in the same environment, and you have to earn any benefits you get later. That also encourages other people to cultivate."
