An Changqing and Su Yuehe exchanged a glance. An Changqing was the son of the president of the Superpower Association, and Su Yuehe, being his childhood friend, naturally had a solid background as well.
It was just that she hadn't noticed the material earlier. Now that her attention was drawn to it, she realized it was at least Millennium Black Iron!
A coffin made of Millennium Black Iron? Did it have to be so extravagant?
What exactly was the background of this classmate Chen Guan? How come she had never heard of such a person?
"Dormitory allocation is randomly assigned based on student ID and department. In principle, room changes are not accepted unless there are special reasons and it is approved by a mentor."
The senior girl coughed dryly, bringing the topic back on track. She pulled up a light screen and tapped it a few times: "Classmate Chen Guan, what are your student ID and department?"
Chen Guan provided the information.
After the senior girl entered it, the light screen flickered and displayed the result: "Hmm... East District Dormitory, Green Bamboo Court, Building 7, Room 304. Huh?"
A hint of surprise appeared on her face.
"What's wrong, Senior?" Su Yuehe asked curiously.
"Green Bamboo Court Building 7..." The senior girl pushed her glasses up, her gaze shifting between An Changqing and Chen Guan. "Classmate An Changqing, I remember your dorm is also in Green Bamboo Court Building 7, Room 302, right? Right next door."
As a star among the freshmen, An Changqing's information had long been dug up by the upperclassmen.
An Changqing was also taken aback, then nodded: "Yes."
He looked at Chen Guan, also somewhat surprised by this coincidence.
Chen Guan's heart skipped a beat.
Arranged by the system? Or purely a coincidence? However, living next door to the protagonist was simply an ongoing opportunity for interaction delivered right to his doorstep. It seemed today's mad dash was absolutely worth it.
[Holy crap! Next door?! What kind of heaven-sent fate is this!]
[Arch-nemesis script or best buddies script? I'm fine with either!]
[An arch-nemesis is an arch-nemesis, an arch-nemesis cannot become a wife!]
[Wake up upstairs, there's still a coffin, this script is a bit hardcore.]
[Susu: What about me? My feelings were wasted. (Manual doge)]
[Suddenly I have the motivation to keep following this instant noodle anime!]
The barrage of comments indeed became lively once again.
"As for this..."
The senior girl cautiously walked around the black iron coffin, reaching out to knock on it, which produced a dull, solid echo. "Black iron material, and of extremely high grade... Classmate Chen Guan, is this your... ability-related item?"
She weighed her words carefully.
"You could say that," Chen Guan gave a vague answer. "It's very important to me, and I can't be too far away from it. It's also not convenient to put into storage equipment. I wonder if the dormitory has any relevant regulations, or if there's a place where it can be temporarily placed?"
He revealed just the right amount of difficulty.
The senior girl pondered for a moment: "Academy regulations state that students can bring necessary personal items and ability mediums into the dormitory, as long as they don't affect others or create safety hazards. However... such a large coffin is definitely not suitable to be placed in a public area. Your dorm is a standard double room, your roommate might..."
"I have a single room."
Chen Guan added at the right time: "It was noted on the admission notice that because of my special circumstances, I was given special single room treatment."
This was true. When the system arranged his identity, it had taken the coffin issue into consideration.
The senior girl breathed a sigh of relief: "If it's a single room, as long as you yourself don't feel crowded, placing it in your own room is fine. But please be careful when entering and exiting the corridors and elevators to avoid collisions and causing unnecessary panic among other students. If other students complain, you might need to further communicate and explain to the dorm manager."
"I understand, I will be careful," Chen Guan quickly promised.
With the problem basically solved, the bespectacled senior girl gave some more instructions for freshmen.
When they were about to leave, the bespectacled senior girl took out her phone: "Classmate Chen Guan, do you mind adding me on Green Bubble?"
Green Bubble was a mainstream communication app in this world.
Chen Guan was stunned for a moment, but he still didn't refuse. He took out his own phone and added her contact information.
"Goodbye, Classmate Chen Guan," the bespectacled senior girl smiled meaningfully.
After the group left, Huo Qixing leaned in: "Li Yuqing, have you taken a fancy to this kid?"
The bespectacled senior girl, Li Yuqing, smiled and suddenly pulled out a brick, slapping it onto Huo Qixing's face.
"Huo Qixing, how could I know someone as stupid as you." Li Yuqing nonchalantly put away the brick. Huo Qixing was resistant to beatings, so hitting him a couple of times didn't matter. "Could someone walking together with An Changqing be an ordinary person?"
"Do you still want to win the championship in this year's club activities? You still have to rely on this lady to recruit people, you unreliable guy."
Huo Qixing touched his head and laughed awkwardly: "Haha, Boss Lady is mighty."
...
Leaving the Spirit Maple Pavilion, the three continued towards the East District Dormitory.
With the relationship of future neighbors, the atmosphere seemed a bit more natural.
Su Yuehe also gradually recovered from her earlier guilt and began curiously asking Chen Guan about the local customs of his hometown. Chen Guan dealt with it half-truthfully, further consolidating his mysterious background.
To be honest, he didn't even know his own background. The system hadn't told him much, because this character was originally designed as just a background character. How could there be so much background? It was mostly left blank.
An Changqing didn't speak much, but he listened very seriously, occasionally interjecting to ask about a detail or two, his gaze occasionally sweeping over that silent black iron coffin, deep in thought.
[So much information! Single room, special circumstances, can't leave his side... This setting is getting more and more intriguing.]
[Blind guess: there's a slumbering big shot in the coffin, or it's the source of his power.]
[Or maybe it seals something terrifying?]
[Your imaginations are running wild. What if it's just a storage locker (extra-large)?]
[Storage locker, LMAO. Whose storage locker looks like that and gets carried on their back?]
The speculations in the comments grew increasingly bizarre, and Chen Guan read them with great interest. This was all potential popularity points.
Finally, they arrived at Green Bamboo Court Building 7.
Su Yuehe had parted ways with them earlier; the girls' dormitory was in another building.
Green Bamboo Court Building 7 was a rather modern-looking high-rise building.
The facilities inside were complete, and the environment was quiet and secluded.
When taking the spacious elevator upstairs, the alarm sounded as soon as Chen Guan stepped in.
His face was full of embarrassment. He had forgotten that with the weight of the coffin, being overweight was inevitable.
There were a few other freshmen in the same elevator. Seeing the coffin, they all subconsciously shrank back. Chen Guan quickly apologized and stepped out of the elevator. An Changqing accompanied him out, and they took the stairs together.
"Thank you, Classmate An."
Chen Guan's eyes were bright as he sincerely thanked him.
[Whether he's a classmate or a wife, I have my own definition.]
[If this isn't love~]
[Guan, just marry Little An when you meet him.]
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
