"I heard that you can choose your own courses in university, is that true? I want to take the same courses as humans!"

Chapter 2678

" Under the Adult Luna Kindred, he rushed up to Chen Li, tilted his head back, and looked at Chen Li expectantly with his wine-red eyes."

Behind Kallen stood the Kongming, who had initially intended to remain reserved but stomped his foot in annoyance at the sight of the Adult Luna Kindred's enthusiasm before finally walking towards them.

"Chen Li, what a coincidence. Are you here to register too?" Firefly, holding a brand-new student handbook, squeezed out from the crowd, a shy blush still on her face.

"What a coincidence! They've all been waiting at the school gate for at least half an hour, just to wait for you. I was practically dragged here by them." Silver Wolf put his hands behind his head, chewed bubble gum, and raised his chin at Chen Li, his tone full of disdain, but he showed no intention of leaving.

Looking at the ever-growing army before him, Chen Li opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately kept it closed.

Thankfully, it was only six or seven people.

Although it does seem like a lot, the number of enrollment slots available in each world is actually quite plentiful.

When people from the same world arrive in a completely unfamiliar environment, it's not surprising that they like to stick together for warmth and support, right?

Yes, that's right, that's exactly it.

Chen Li raised her head, glanced at the campus sky that looked especially dreamy against the backdrop of the pink teaching building, and finally sighed resignedly.

In short, let's complete the procedures first.

Sometimes self-deception is a talent, just like Chen Li is now.

If it's possible to bump into an acquaintance while wandering around such a large school by chance, then it's also reasonable for him to encounter Feiying, who's like a dump truck carrying bread, heading straight for him on his way to the Path Test, right?

Since everything before this makes sense, it's also reasonable to encounter the Little Herta presiding over the ceremony during the Path test, right?

Since Chen Li indicated his preference for logistics-related professions and registered as a blacksmith, after presiding over the ceremony, he was found to have excellent compatibility with many Paths, such as Erudition, the Hunt, Preservation, and Harmony. However, he was ultimately assigned to the Path of Wisdom by the Little Herta, which makes sense, doesn't it?

Since it involves both Path of Wisdom and blacksmithing, it makes sense that the assigned mentor would be the Great Herta, who possesses numerous Miraculous Items that can be used as forging samples and is also Genius Society member.

"What a load of nonsense! You guys didn't plan this all along, did you?" Chen Li looked at the freshman test form in his hand and couldn't help but complain.

Every item on this test form has a carefully crafted feel to it. The Chief Examiner for the Path compatibility test is Little Herta, and the deputy examiner is Pearl, because both of them are Intelligent Machines and can provide the freshmen with the most professional Path compatibility assessment.

Moreover, as Intelligent Machines and dolls, they will never be tainted by personal feelings, ensuring absolute fairness and impartiality in their judgments!

Looking at the other personnel in charge of the freshman testing program, almost all of them were acquaintances of Chen Li, covering every aspect of Chen Li's freshman testing!

"That's a good thing! It means that you and we are all destined to meet." Noticing Chen Li's suspicious gaze, the person perched on his head said with lazy, Mimi eyes.

"Fine, then... Everyone, it's time to stop. I'm at my dorm." Chen Li sighed and turned to look at the vast crowd behind him.

Saying it was a large and imposing group isn't entirely accurate. Although the total number of people in the team was not small, it was precisely kept between five and ten.

Every so often, two or three people would quietly leave, while two or three others would casually join in, seemingly understanding Chen Li's subtle desire not to be overly observed.

However, Chen Li felt that they were simply burying their heads in the sand, since passersby weren't blind.

The Pink Elf guide on his head, completely different from everyone else's HOMU, was enough to make him stand out from the crowd, not to mention the constantly changing but never-repeating support group around him...

Chen Li covered his face with one hand and let out a long sigh.

My peaceful campus life was ruined on the very first day of school.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of controlling the network. Why are you staring at me like that? If Little Silver Wolf hadn't told me to stick close to you, I wouldn't have come." Great Silver Wolf seemed to have sensed Chen Li's thoughts, crossed his arms, and snorted coldly.

"Tsundere is outdated, big sister." Cipher, standing next to the Great Silver Wolf, patted her shoulder.

"None of your business." The Great Silver Wolf glared at her, somewhat annoyed.

"Oh, really?" Cipher looked at the Great Silver Wolf with a rather amused expression.

If she remembered correctly, Silver Wolf had brought Great Silver Wolf along when Silver Wolf participated in the last "team building" activity.

"But you're right, we're already at the faculty dormitory, it's really not suitable for us students to go up there. Okay, let's go, let's go." Cipher coughed lightly and turned to Chen Li to say.

After she finished speaking, Cipher gave a look to the people behind her.

Everyone nodded, bid farewell to Chen Li, and then, under Chen Li's slightly surprised gaze, walked towards the girls' dormitory building next door.

"Just like that?" Chen Li muttered uncertainly.

Releasing them was far too swift, wasn't it?

Could there be a scam involved?

"If your friends are reluctant to leave, I can call them back. It's not too late to catch up now," Mimi said, peeking down from above Chen Li's head.

"Then let's forget about it." Chen Li shook his head without hesitation.

After speaking, Chen Li looked up at the faculty and staff dormitory building in front of him and stepped inside.

As soon as he entered, he saw a familiar face slumped over a table in the dormitory lobby, seemingly becoming one with the tabletop.

The other person was dressed in a familiar blue bard's outfit, with a beret perched crookedly on his head, and was holding an empty wine bottle in his hand.

"Can this guy really be a dorm supervisor? Or is he just slacking off here?" Chen Li couldn't help but ask, looking at Venti who seemed completely drunk.

Despite saying that, after seeing the sign next to Venti that read "Please place your hand on the testing terminal to enter information," he still placed his hand on the faintly glowing surface of the terminal on the table next to him.

As the terminal completed the scan, a teleportation array silently lit up beside Chen Li, while a mechanical notification sounded in the air.

"You can use the teleportation array to get to the dormitory, or you can explore the various facilities within the dormitory building on foot. For details, please ask your HOMU partner."

"Because the dormitory building is very large, we need to use teleportation arrays. Each person's dormitory is an independent single room with three bedrooms and a living room. It's more like a small presidential suite than a dormitory. Moreover, after activating the dormitory coordinates for the first time, you can teleport back to your room at any time when you enter the Paradise," Mimi explained at the right time.

For Chen Li, teleportation was obviously more convenient, so he stepped into the teleportation array without hesitation.

As the slight dizziness subsided, Chen Li opened his eyes and found himself in the corridor of the faculty dormitory corresponding to his own room.

As Chen Li walked towards his room, following the door number in his hand, he observed the surrounding dormitories.

The dormitory doors on both sides were tightly closed, and the corridor was so quiet that only the sound of one's own footsteps could be heard.

When Chen Li reached the door of his dormitory, he suddenly stopped.

According to the sign in front of the dormitory building, the first thing everyone should do upon entering the dormitory is verify their information in order to bind their room. However, the door in front of them has already been opened a crack.

Chen Li pushed open the door and went inside without making a sound.

Chapter 2679

Upon entering, Chen Li saw a familiar green figure sitting comfortably on the sofa, showing no sense of urgency at having intruded into someone else's room.

"Mobius, what are you doing in my dorm?" Chen Li asked with a sigh.

As expected...

"Call me Professor Mobius." Upon hearing Chen Li's voice, Mobius turned around and gave Chen Li a dangerous smile.

"What, are you trying to say that this room used to be yours?" Chen Li sat down on the sofa opposite Mobius, arms crossed.

"How could that be? I'm just dropping by. By the way, I live right across from you, feel free to come over anytime." Mobius said, standing up from his seat.

Mobius walked lazily to Chen Li, then suddenly raised one knee and knelt on the sofa cushion next to Chen Li, while his other hand gently pressed against the back of the sofa next to Chen Li's head.

Mobius leaned down slightly, bringing his exquisite face very close, his nose almost touching Chen Li's.

"Or are you planning to play a game right now?" Looking at Chen Li, who was so close to him, Mobius stuck out his tongue and gently licked the corner of his lips. His snake-like eyes stared straight into Chen Li's eyes, his voice low and soft, with a hint of excitement in it.

"Hey, you two, what are you doing in my room?" A voice, filled with confusion and warning, suddenly rang out from outside the room.

Upon hearing this, Mobius instantly turned his head fiercely towards the door, wanting to see which fool had ruined his plans at such a crucial moment.

However, when that familiar figure came into view, the anger on Mobius's face froze instantly, then turned into a helpless chuckle.

Acheron stood expressionless in the doorway, his gaze fixed intently on Mobius.

"Acheron, you really do like to surprise people at special times." Mobius straightened up, his tone carrying a hint of resigned helplessness.

Do you think Mobius laughed because it was funny? It's because he was truly at his wit's end.

If it were anyone else, Mobius would definitely think they were doing it on purpose, but if it were Acheron, he might actually have gone to the wrong place.

Mobius stood up, gave Chen Li and Acheron a disgruntled look, and then walked out the door without looking back.

"I told you, I live right across from your room. Remember to come find me when you miss me." Mobius's words still lingered in the air when he had already vanished cleanly into the hallway outside.

At this moment, only Chen Li and Acheron remained in the room, staring at each other in bewilderment.

Of course, there's also the Mimi on Chen Li's head.

Chen Li let out a long sigh of relief, sinking into the back of the sofa, and then turned to look at Acheron was still standing there.

"I don't know if I should be glad you're prone to getting lost... otherwise, you might really be in trouble today. Encountering such a big crisis on your first day of school actually makes me a little... looking forward to school life," Chen Li said half-jokingly.

"No." Acheron gently shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Chen Li was taken aback, and the smile on his face faltered slightly.

"I'm not lost." Acheron Quan looked down at Chen Li sitting on the sofa, a faint smile slowly curving his lips.

Acheron Quan usually had a blank expression, so this smile seemed especially precious and dangerous at this moment.

"Oh, so you came here specifically to help me out? That's even better. I knew Acheron, you're the most reliable one..." Chen Li paused for a moment, then gave her a thumbs up.

"Instead of just saying thank you, let's do something more practical." Acheron didn't respond to him, but turned around and gently closed the door that Mobius hadn't closed when he left.

With a "click," the sound of the door lock closing was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

Acheron turned around and walked back to Chen Li step by step. He bent down slightly, reached out his hand, and gently pinched Chen Li's chin with his slender fingers, lifting his face slightly upward.

"Baby, you're mine now." Acheron lowered her head, her eyes fixed on Chen Li's, the smile on her lips deepening.

Before Chen Li could process the meaning of those words, Acheron lowered his eyes, silencing Chen Li's words.

It was a touch with a slight coolness, initially so gentle it was like a test, as if Acheron himself was confirming whether this moment was real.

But soon, that tentative approach was replaced by a long-suppressed passion.

Acheron slightly turned his head, adopting a more aggressive strategy...

When Chen Li felt Acheron's passion, Chen Li mind went completely blank.

In fact, before Acheron bent down to stop Chen Li from saying what he was about to say, Chen Li thought Acheron was joking.

When Acheron finally let go and straightened up, slightly panting, her face was flushed with embarrassment.

Those eyes, which were usually calm and composed, were now flashing with an emotion that even she herself couldn't quite describe.

Acheron quickly shifted his gaze elsewhere, his lips slightly parted, as if he wanted to say something to ease the almost overflowing awkwardness.

Looking at Acheron's expression, Chen Li clearly knew that the other party was not joking.

In Chen Li's opinion, this strategy, though not particularly ingenious, was quite effective and didn't seem like something Acheron could come up with on his own.

Almost instantly, the meaningful look Cipher gave him when she led everyone else away downstairs in the dormitory flashed through his mind.

You little Cipher, Saifei, you're giving your sister Mei bad advice again, aren't you?

Meanwhile, Mimi, who had been watching this scene Mimi, crossed her arms and looked on with a hint of sullen anger.

Seriously, do they really think this is a companion/emotional support pet? How dare they do something so audacious right in front of me?

Theoretically speaking, at this time, Mimi, as a companion and emotional support pet, should avoid suspicion and return to the separate room prepared for each "HOMU" at school.

But Mimi was clearly unwilling to give up.

Acheron definitely wants to wait until I leave before secretly doing some things he loves with Chen Li.

I'm not leaving, I'll make her anxious!

"Um... okay, I'm leaving now." After kissing Chen Li, Acheron seemed to have used up all her courage, stammering out these words before hurriedly turning around to escape the room that had made her heart pound so hard she was almost out of control.

However, just as Acheron reached for the doorknob, Chen Li gently pulled his other hand from behind.

"W-what do you want to do?" Acheron's movements suddenly froze, and he slowly turned his head, looking at Chen Li with some confusion.

"Yes." Chen Li nodded very honestly.

Acheron's mind was clearly still reeling, and a look of bewilderment appeared on his face.

But in the next instant, she felt an irresistible force on her wrist. Chen Li gently pulled her, causing her to lose her balance. With a soft cry, she fell into Chen Li's arms.

Acheron felt his knees and back being firmly supported at the same time, and then Chen Li lifted him up in Princess Carry.

"You're not like that. Who sets a fire and then tries to run away?" Chen Li lowered his head, looking at the delicate face in his arms that was already flushed red.

After saying that, Chen Li led Acheron toward the bedroom.

"Huh?" Acheron looked up at Chen Li with a somewhat blank expression.
