The room needed to be tidied up, and the coffin needed a proper place to be settled; it couldn't just lie in the middle of the room all the time.
He stood up, put the Black Iron Coffin on his back, and roughly cleaned up the house.
After working up a light sweat, he finally finished tidying up the new room.
By the time he finished, the sky was already getting dark.
Chen Guan's stomach grumbled.
The avatar also needed to eat, and running at high intensity for a day consumed a lot of energy.
He glanced at the dry rations stored in his storage ring, then at the campus lights gradually lighting up outside the window.
"Go out to eat? Or..."
While he was hesitating, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Student Chen Guan, are you there?" It was An Changqing's voice, coming clearly and gently through the door.
Chen Guan quickly adjusted his clothes, walked over, and opened the door.
An Changqing stood outside, having changed into a clean academy uniform, holding a thermal lunch box in his hand.
"Student An? What's the matter?" Chen Guan showed an appropriate amount of confusion.
"Yuehe and I just went to the cafeteria and brought an extra portion by the way."
An Changqing handed over the lunch box, speaking naturally: "I figured you might have just settled in and haven't had time to eat, so I brought you a portion. It's the signature Spirit Grain set meal from the East District No. 1 Cafeteria, it tastes pretty good."
Chen Guan was stunned for a moment, then took the still-warm lunch box, a trace of genuine warmth rising in his heart.
Whether An Changqing did this out of the protagonist's inherent kindness or some other thought, this sincerity was extremely precious in a strange environment.
"This... is too much trouble for you, thank you."
This time, the thanks were a bit more sincere than before.
"You're welcome, it was just on the way." An Changqing smiled, his gaze casually sweeping across the room.
The curtains were drawn, and the lighting was dim. However, he didn't expect Chen Guan to still be carrying the coffin on his back in the dorm at night.
His eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't ask much, only saying, "You just arrived, you might not be familiar with the cafeteria locations and opening hours. If you need, we can go together tomorrow. By the way, tomorrow morning is the freshman assembly and class assignment ceremony, don't forget. The notice should have been sent to your personal terminal."
"Okay, I'll remember, thank you for the reminder." Chen Guan nodded.
The personal terminal was a wrist-watch-style device received upon enrollment, integrating multiple functions such as identity proof, communication, and information reception. All school matters would be handled on the terminal. He hadn't had time to study it carefully just now.
"Then you eat first and rest early." An Changqing didn't stay any longer, nodded politely, turned around, and went back to Room 302.
Chen Guan closed the door, holding the warm lunch box, feeling a bit complicated.
Being neighbors with this kind of upright, kind, exceptionally talented, and considerate protagonist... the pressure is huge.
He sat at the desk and opened the lunch box. A fragrant aroma wafted out. The Spirit Grain rice was crystal clear and plump, paired with a few exquisite side dishes and a piece of beast meat containing weak spiritual energy. Both the nutrition and taste were top-notch.
The food at Huaqing Academy truly lived up to its reputation.
As he ate, he brought up his personal terminal to browse the detailed information of tomorrow's freshman assembly.
The location was the main auditorium of the main campus, the time was 9:00 AM, and it also came with a simple campus map and precautions.
"Host." The system's voice sounded: "Detected a new fluctuation in popularity points. The interactive scene of An Changqing delivering food, as well as the shot of the host taking care of the main body alone in the room and receiving information, has triggered further favorability and curiosity from the audience. Added about 85 popularity points."
The popularity points had reached 142 again. Chen Guan calculated silently. Adding 0.3 stamina didn't feel obvious, but what if it accumulated to 1 point, 2 points, or even more?
Exchanging the new popularity points for 0.1 stamina, Chen Guan looked at his main body beside him. Adding points didn't just affect the avatar, it also affected the main body.
The avatar wouldn't die, but the main body would.
Looking at the store, Chen Guan actually had his eye on a talent.
Enhancement System: Amulet
Price: 200,000 popularity points
The effect of the Amulet was similar to being invulnerable to swords and spears, water and fire, but the price of 200,000 popularity points made him only able to sigh in awe.
After eating, Chen Guan washed up simply and helped his main body wash up. He didn't sleep in the bed, but took out a portable folding mat from his storage ring, laid it next to the coffin, and lay down fully clothed.
He left the bed for his main body, while he lay beside it.
The room went completely dark, with only the faint glimmer of the personal terminal occasionally flashing.
The campus outside the window gradually quieted down, with shouts from the training ground faintly heard in the distance.
Chen Guan closed his eyes but didn't fall asleep immediately.
His mind replayed the day's experiences, as well as the colorful comments from another world that occasionally floated past his eyes.
That was a world he couldn't return to, but it was the source of his current power.
Absurd, yet real.
"Tomorrow... class assignment." He muttered to himself.
According to the original plot, An Changqing would enter the strongest Tianshu Class, which gathered the top geniuses of this year.
What about himself? A freshman with no superpower, carrying a coffin on his back, who looked like a weirdo no matter how you looked at it. Where would he be assigned?
Where to be assigned... no one had the final say, it depended on fists. Only those with big fists could be assigned to a good class.
No matter where he was assigned, he had to find his position on that stage and make his voice heard.
For popularity points.
And for... that day of awakening that he didn't know when it would come.
The night deepened.
In Room 304, one person slept soundly on the bed, and another dozed beside the coffin. The heavy Black Iron Coffin stood in the shadows like a silent guardian.
In the corner of his vision, the last few delayed comments slowly floated past:
He's sleeping on the floor... gave the bed to the person in the coffin.
The details are touching.
Getting more and more curious, see you at the class assignment tomorrow!
Good night, coffin bro.
Update the next episode quickly!
...
The next morning.
The faint morning light penetrated the translucent curtains, casting hazy light spots on the floor of Room 304.
Chen Guan opened his eyes almost the moment the first ray of light shone in.
It wasn't waking up naturally, but this avatar seemed to have inherited a high degree of alertness, or rather, the subconscious insecurity towards this world prevented him from truly sleeping deeply.
He sat up and rubbed his somewhat stiff neck. Sleeping on a folding mat was definitely not as comfortable as a bed.
The first thing Chen Guan did was look at the bed.
His main body was still sleeping quietly, its chest rising and falling slightly with steady breathing.
Chen Guan walked over and checked the vital signs. After confirming that everything was normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Every day, confirming that his main body was safe and sound was the prerequisite for him to start a new day.
