Background / History
Journey to Shrek
Wang Dong hires the Star Rail Escort Agency to take her to Shrek Academy. Although the one-million-Gold-Soul-Coin fee shocks her, she spends her entire reserve rather than admit her financial limits. Phainon accepts the commission because his team is already traveling to Shrek 9.
The agency delivers her to Shrek City two days before freshman enrollment begins 21.
Becoming Lin Chen’s Roommate
After enrolling, Wang Dong is assigned to Lin Chen’s dormitory. Initially distracted by his looks, she nevertheless tries to establish herself as the room’s boss. Her proposed rules require him to obey her, handle all the cleaning, and stay out while she bathes 30.
Her claim to authority rests on being stronger, but Lin Chen disproves it by silently appearing behind her and placing his blade against her neck. He then proposes alternating cleaning duties and respecting each other’s privacy. She accepts the arrangement, and they exchange a handshake 30 31.
Learning that the equally twelve-year-old Lin Chen is a rank-44 Soul Ancestor shakes her confidence. She asks him to teach her Silent Step Backstab, Iaijutsu Slash, only to discover that it depends on his Soul Skill and cannot simply be taught. The encounter motivates her to begin cultivating seriously 31.
Freshman Class One
Wang Dong accompanies Lin Chen to Class One and remains seated at his signal when Zhou Yi asks students who have fought to stand. Zhou Yi considers her a promising class-monitor candidate, regarding her as talented and easier to manage than Lin Chen 32 33 34.
During the hundred-lap punishment, Wang Dong finishes first despite starting late. Zhou Yi praises her performance. Her opinion of the teacher briefly improves when Huo Yuhao receives extra time rather than immediate expulsion, but she later cheers Lin Chen’s criticism of expelling students instead of teaching them 35 36.
Personality
Wang Dong is proud, competitive, and concerned with maintaining appearances. Her pride prevents her from bargaining over the escort fee, while her confidence in her talent leads her to assume she can dominate her roommate. She cites her “first dad” and “second dad” calling her a peerless genius when struggling to understand Lin Chen’s superior cultivation 9 30 31.
Despite her confrontational introduction, she responds warmly to considerate treatment and accepts fair boundaries. She blushes during her handshake with Lin Chen, but quickly bristles at his teasing. Although she normally dislikes cultivation, encountering a stronger peer pushes her into a full day and night of meditation 31 32.
