The Most Awesome Dorm (Part 1)

Many people knew of the "Flying Skateboard Kid," but few knew that the "Flying Skateboard Kid" was Xilin. This was because Xilin's shadow in the video was somewhat blurry, and his face couldn't be seen clearly. During the pursuit of the flying car, the air around Xilin was irregularly compressed and distorted. Furthermore, the video captured by people on the passenger flying car was not of high clarity, and the distorted parts of the footage could not be restored in post-production. Because of this, the person who filmed the video specifically bought a more professional camera to avoid future regrets.

Xilin stumbled upon the video by chance. Fortunately, he had changed his clothes upon arriving at the City That Never Sleeps. His original clothes had been damaged by the friction of the air during the pursuit of the flying car. Otherwise, even if they didn't know the true identity of the "Flying Skateboard Kid," they would have recognized the clothes.

After arriving at the City That Never Sleeps, Xilin deeply felt the money-making capabilities of this massive entertainment system. More than eighty percent of the spending by people who came to Seven Luminaries Academy, especially those with substantial wealth, was poured into this place. Tuition fees, in comparison, were practically insignificant.

Amusement parks, alcohol, game halls, hotels, casinos... the frenzy of entertainment had no day or night. In the City That Never Sleeps, disputes occurred almost every moment. However, the Security Team didn't intervene too much. Seven Luminaries Academy had explicit regulations: as long as the matter remained within a certain acceptable range, they were allowed to cause trouble. But once it crossed that line, Seven Luminaries Academy's punishments were very strict. Many people had been expelled for causing too much disturbance.

In addition to this, there were relevant laws and regulations. Once they were enforced, personnel from the Security Team and the Training Department would be deployed. Who were the people from the Security Team and the Training Department? They were all individuals sent by the Galactic Military who had experienced life-and-death battlefields. Resist? No way.

Xilin wandered around the City That Never Sleeps for two days, then continued to the next stop. For the following three days, Xilin visited areas like the Training Zone and Research Zone. However, those areas had more restrictions, and Xilin didn't have the authority yet. Although he only observed from the periphery, Xilin deeply felt the uniqueness of these areas.

On the last day of registration, Xilin boarded the train back to the Teaching Zone. According to the original plan, there was still ample time for registration. The reason Xilin had wandered around before registering was that after registering, he could only move within the Teaching Zone and could not go out freely. This was because after registration, all of a student's records at Seven Luminaries Academy would be activated, and they would truly become official students of Seven Luminaries Academy. For new students, Seven Luminaries Academy's management was relatively strict. Tight at first, then relaxed – this was the management style adopted by most schools in the B Star Zone.

Following the route indicated on the map, Xilin arrived at the Registration Office. The first two days and the last day of registration were peak periods, but the last hour of registration would definitely be empty.

From afar, he could see that there were few students at the Registration Office, only two staff members sitting there, moving their arms, looking tired from a large workload today.

"Those guys arrived at Seven Luminaries Academy so early and all went to the City That Never Sleeps to have fun. They only rushed back to register on the last day. It's exhausting me!" one staff member complained.

"Can't be helped. It's like this every year. If those Young Masters registered a few days earlier, they'd go stale cooped up in the Teaching Zone," the other replied, lying on a chair.

"There's still an hour left. There shouldn't be many people. I'll just take a nap until it's time to leave."

"I'm afraid not. A kid just came."

Looking at Xilin slowly approaching, the two staff members' expressions soured, their impatience clearly visible.

After looking at Xilin's card, one of them pointed to a small instrument beside him: "Swipe your Qiyao Card on this."

After swiping the Qiyao Card, Xilin's information appeared on the screen.

Hmm? From the Daongs Family? A prominent family.

Upon seeing Xilin's details, the attitudes of the two at the Registration Office improved significantly. They forced a smile and handed Xilin an Electronic Notebook: "Please fill in these supplementary information forms. There are also dormitory choices and other matters..." At this point, the staff member paused. "It seems there are no Single Dorms left. Huh? Double Dorms are also gone... I'm very sorry, I think you can only choose a Quad Villa. But Quad Villas are good too, they're spacious. At Seven Luminaries Academy, dormitory space is always 1+1+1+1 < 2+2 < 4. And Quad Villas are villa-style..."

The staff member explained the benefits of a Quad Villa to Xilin. Xilin understood. Although the living space in a Quad Villa was indeed the largest, even more than the combined space of four Single Dorms, the extra space was merely a yard, which many people didn't care for. However, Xilin was an exception...

In the Student Dormitory Area of Seven Luminaries Academy, the most expensive accommodation was the Single Villa, while the most affordable was actually the Single Apartment. But these two were also clearly the most popular, and those who arrived later couldn't get them. Quad Villas had always been considered a dormitory filled with contradictions and troubles, after all, four people crammed into one apartment, and there were plenty of people who couldn't stand each other. Incidents where students destroyed entire villas due to conflicts with roommates were common at Seven Luminaries Academy.

The reason for mentioning the number of people per unit, besides the internal space, was that each person had accompanying facilities such as a training room, a rest room, a bathroom, and a study room. Single rooms only had one set of these facilities. In Quad Villas, except for the yard, living room, and kitchen which were shared, all other facilities were in sets of four.

"Then I'll choose a Quad Villa." Although Xilin's ideal choice was a Single Apartment, if it wasn't available, so be it. These accommodation conditions were far better than where he had lived before.

As Xilin was filling out the forms, another person entered the entrance of the Registration Office. It was an acquaintance.

"Huh? Xilin, you're registering at this time too?" Ci Jincheng closed the book in his hand and walked over with a smile.

Ci Jincheng's Qiyao Card was an Orange Card, indicating he was a Special Recruitment. The two staff members' smiles widened, and they enthusiastically began explaining the registration procedures to Ci Jincheng.

The reason for their enthusiasm wasn't just because Ci Jincheng was a special recruit. More importantly, it was the information displayed on Ci Jincheng's card. The surname "Ci" wasn't common in the galaxy, and combined with Ci Jincheng's special recruitment status, the two staff members immediately thought of a certain family – the Academic Master Ci Family!

In the Academic World, everyone knew the Ci family. The frequency with which members of the Ci family appeared in the two top magazines, Glory and Cipher, was astonishing to some. Furthermore, the Ci family's influence in the Galactic Military and Politics was not to be underestimated. It was no wonder these two were so enthusiastic.

Logically, according to the order of registration, each dormitory should be filled before another was arranged. However, given the backgrounds of Xilin and Ci Jincheng, and the fact that they knew each other, the staff members didn't mind doing them a favor. They opened up a new four-person villa. Since the previous villa already had three people, another one would have to be opened anyway.

As the two were filling in their information, a sudden rushing sound was heard – the sound of a flying car, and the sound of someone stepping on a flying skateboard.

Vroom—The ruby-like car body executed a beautiful drift, and the Luxury Flying Car stopped. The roof opened, revealing a face familiar to Xilin.

Andrea Long!

At the same time the flying car stopped, the flying skateboard also stopped in front of the door. A sturdy young man jumped off the flying skateboard and walked in after putting it away. The two entered almost simultaneously.

Upon seeing these two, Ci Jincheng's eyelids twitched. These two guys...
