Participants Also Have to Go to School

The next morning, the alarm clock rang as usual!

"Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring!!!!!"

A hand reached out from the bundled-up quilt, fumbling around on the bedside table by the window, and instinctively slapped down on the alarm clock.

Slap!

"Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring!!!!!"

The alarm clock was still annoyingly ringing.

"Are you trying to rush to reincarnate by setting the alarm this early!!!"

Ling, who had been innocently slapped down again, immediately roared and then directly threw herself at the quilt!

"Ah! My hand is freezing! My nose is freezing!"

The 'quilt' immediately puffed up! An indistinct scream came from inside the quilt.

The daily life in Fang Ran's rental house, another new day began.

Watching Fang Ran reluctantly crawl out of the quilt, his face full of suppressed desire to go back to sleep, he quickly put on his clothes, then ducked into the kitchen, tinkered around for a bit, came out with puffed cheeks, having no idea what he had devoured in a few bites, looking like he was about to go out.

"Huh?" Ling sounded a little surprised, "Going out so early, are you planning to look for a scene entrance?"

Then, without waiting for Fang Ran to answer, she also floated up, looking like she was going to lead the way.

"Let's go, a rookie like you wouldn't find the entrance even in a year."

"Uh, what are you talking about?"

Fang Ran looked at her with a somewhat awkward expression.

"Aren't you going out to look for a scene entrance?"

"Uh, no."

"Then why are you going out so early?"

Ling stared at him with a scrutinizing look.

"I..."

Fang Ran spread his hands, sighed, and said as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"The holiday is over, of course I'm going to school."

"Huh!!!???"

School??

Two huge question marks appeared in Ling's mind. Ling, with her data soul, had a bewildered look on her delicate little face at this moment.

School? He said he was going to school?

What school?

After finally understanding what Fang Ran meant, Ling's mouth twitched as she asked:

"You're going to school?"

"Duh!" Fang Ran rolled his eyes. "People always have to go somewhere, like going to bed to sleep, going to work, so of course I have to go to school! Otherwise, how will I find a job later?"

Ling fell silent, speechless.

It was the first time she had ever heard of someone who had become a Night Battles participant still needing to go to school!?

And even planning to find a job...

Ling took a deep breath (don't ask how she managed it at that moment) and silently suppressed all the reasons she wanted to explain to Fang Ran about how Night Battles participants didn't need to interact with society like before.

Then she floated into his hood.

"What are you doing!"

Fang Ran was startled and immediately wanted to take her out!

"I'm going with you."

Ling's voice suddenly sounded firm.

"Huh!?"

"What are you going with me for?"

"Mind your own business."

"But why..."

"You don't even have a phone that can access the internet at home, are you going to make me watch TV here alone!!"

"Uh... but..."

"But what?!"

"Don't you think it's pretty stupid that I don't even have a phone that can access the internet, but I'm carrying a power bank..."

In the end, Fang Ran still brought Ling along. The latter stayed in Fang Ran's hood. It wasn't that Ling wanted to be there, it was just because this guy, Fang Ran, didn't even have a bag when he went to class, only carrying his books and pen in his hands!

Damn it!

Ling cursed inwardly, this good-for-nothing who doesn't study properly!

So the power bank girl naturally could only hide in his hood.

As mentioned before, one of the huge advantages of Fang Ran's rental house was its proximity to the school. It was so close that it only took ten minutes to walk to the school gate, extremely close, but...

It took half an hour to walk from the school gate to the teaching building...

Sigh, this unlucky school. So he could only obediently get up early like a good boy.

As for why it took so long to get there, that had to do with Fang Ran's school.

Fang Ran, with his average grades, naturally didn't get into any prestigious universities, but it wasn't too bad either. His high school grades were just slightly better than most people, but only by a limited amount.

So he naturally applied to this university, following behind those 985 and 211 universities.

It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either.

It perfectly suited someone as ordinary as Fang Ran.

The campus was located on a newly approved plot of land, so it was particularly large. Although there were many empty grassy areas, the small woods and lake were quite nice.

This "quite nice" result directly led to...

...the reason Fang Ran woke up forty minutes early every day like a grandson.

"What class are you going to?" Ling asked casually.

"Uh, let me see... oh, I don't have my phone," Fang Ran reached into his pocket to check his schedule, then suddenly remembered the fact that his Xiao Mi had long since sacrificed itself. He smacked his lips, thought for a moment, and said uncertainly, "I think it's Computer Network Principles and... uh... Data Structures?"

Are you asking me? Ling rolled her eyes inwardly, speechless. With this guy's IQ, he's studying computer science?

Next, Ling hid in Fang Ran's hood and followed him all the way to the teaching building, found the classroom, and then saw Fang Ran meet his classmates.

"Yo! Fang Ran! How was your holiday!" Two boys came over to greet Fang Ran.

"Heh, it was alright." Fang Ran smiled, then casually found a seat and sat down.

Soon after, a few more boys walked over, chatting and laughing. They saw Fang Ran and also sat down next to him.

"Old Fang, how is it? Renting a place outside by yourself, is it awesome?"

"Of course it is! With a beauty accompanying me, of course it's awesome!"

"As a single dog, I'm still envious."

"Haha, not at all," Fang Ran also laughed, chatting with them.

These were Fang Ran's roommates, all of whom had a good relationship with him. They chatted and laughed about interesting topics, and Fang Ran listened the whole time, occasionally bursting into laughter.

Only one roommate looked at the laughing Fang Ran, hesitated twice, nudged him with his arm, and asked softly:

"Brother, are you okay?"

Fang Ran was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and rolled his eyes helplessly:

"Ha, what could be wrong with me?"

Ling in the hood listened quietly, listening to every word Fang Ran said in his conversations. She didn't use telekinesis to transmit sound to Fang Ran the whole time. She just quietly hid in Fang Ran's hood and followed him through the morning classes.

Everything was as usual, as if the Night Battles had never disrupted Fang Ran's life.

"Ah~" One of the roommates stretched, then smiled and greeted, "Let's go, time to eat!"

"Yeah, okay." Fang Ran also smiled and agreed.

The few of them left the classroom, chatting and laughing. But just as they walked out of the classroom, the classroom opposite also happened to finish class, and several girls walked out together, brushing past them.

One girl had her long hair tied up, wearing a light-colored fluffy sweater. Her large eyes held a gentle smile and a calm demeanor. Her delicate oval face gave off a serene feeling.

The two groups of people brushed past each other, chatting and laughing, seemingly no different from anyone else in the entire hallway.

They walked quite a distance before one of Fang Ran's roommates reacted with surprise, "Hey! Was that Wei Wenwen just now? Fang Ran, why didn't you even say hello?"

"Yeah, didn't even say hello?" Another person nearby teased with a laugh.

Fang Ran sighed helplessly at his roommate's antics, rolled his eyes at him, and also smiled, "Ha! What kind of greeting should a shut-in like me give to the department's beauty?"

"Uh..."

Besides Fang Ran, the others were all stunned for a moment.

"Not that."

The most straightforward roommate was about to say something when the roommate who had asked Fang Ran that question in class elbowed him in the ribs.

"Pfft!"

"Starving! Let's go! Let's go! If we're any later, there won't be any space in the cafeteria!"

Another person egged them on, pushing them. The few of them tacitly dropped the topic and walked towards the cafeteria. Only Ling, who was watching Fang Ran from another perspective using her psychic power, noticed.

As he turned the corner, Fang Ran, pretending to yawn with sleepy tears in his eyes, seemed to casually glance back.

Just like how people always have to pursue something, they always have to seek something. Some seek fame, some seek profit, but I am different from those vulgar people!

I just seek a collection!!!!!!!!!
