Chapter 13 B-Class Dormitory

　　Back at the front office, the staff quickly processed John Smith's S-Class qualification certification.

　　"There's a small issue I need to discuss with you."

　　" Although the college has set up four resource levels for new students, because the number of S-Class students is too rare, only three levels (A, B, and C) were allocated for dormitory resources. There are no separate dorms for S-Class students..."

　　"Principle-wise, S-Class students are supposed to live in A-Class dorms. However, this year's new student intake far exceeded past years, and all A-Class dorms were allocated by morning. There are no leftover spots..."

　　" At this point, I can only allocate you to a B-Class dorm and give you a small stipend. Would that be acceptable to you?"

　　"That's okay. No problem," John Smith nodded.

　　"Great, John, congratulations again on becoming an S-Class student at our college. Here is your identity wristband."

　　" It contains all of your basic information and is like a passkey for entering and leaving the school. Please take good care of it."

　　John Smith reached out and took the black circular chip, which had a futuristic feel to it. It was about two centimeters in diameter and less than two millimeters thick, like a thin piece of metal.

　　"Place it flat on your left wrist, and it will automatically adhere to your skin. Even with vigorous movement, it won't fall off."

　　John Smith did as he was told, and in an instant, his wrist felt like it had experienced a weak electrical current, making it tingle.

　　When he looked again, the black chip had already adhered tightly to his skin, and even when he shook his arm vigorously, there was no sign of it falling off.

　　Even when John Smith was still, the black chip would automatically change to a color similar to his skin, making it almost impossible to notice that there was anything on his wrist.

　　"Is technology this advanced now?" John Smith murmured to himself, turning the wristband over and over in fascination.

　　The staff member proudly smiled and said, "Don't let its small size fool you; it covers hundreds of functions such as communication, maps, portable keys, data transmission and storage, and even a coin market."

　　" Everyone at the college has one, and with just a light tap, a holographic projection screen can be displayed..."

　　With the staff member's patient guidance, John Smith spent more than ten minutes learning the basic functions of the wristband.

　　He suddenly felt like he had opened the door to a new world and couldn't help but praise, "This wristband is amazing. All of its functions are practical, and it's so easy to use..."

　　"Yes, we're also grateful to the inventor of the wristband. She has brought tremendous changes to our work and life!"

　　The staff sighed heavily before saying, "John, today's schedule for new students is to awaken their soul power and confirm everyone's corresponding resource level. "

　　"There won't be much to do in the afternoon, so you can go back to your dorm to rest. The academy will send out the next notice at 6 pm. Be sure to check and confirm it in a timely manner."

　　Before parting, the staff even escorted John Smith to the door and reminded him, "John, the academy is very large."

　　" Before you have a suitable pet to ride, we suggest taking the academy's guided car. As an S-class new student, it may even be completely free for you."

　　"Got it. Thank you," John replied.

　　After bidding farewell to the staff, John Smith walked out the door and was nearly blinded by the glaring sun.

　　It was about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, and the sun was scorching. It was hot and stuffy outside, but there were still many people and animals coming and going on the road, with beautiful young men and women and various sized pets.

　　"Is this how my long-awaited academy life begins?" John Smith smiled and felt his heart as bright as the sun.

　　After basking in the sun for a comfortable two or three minutes, John Smith opened his wristwatch to check his information:

　　[Name: John Smith]

　　[Student ID: 20230115]

　　[Qualification certification: S-class new student]

　　[Dormitory address: 11th district, B-level, building 477, room 101]

　　...

　　John Smith inputted his dormitory address into the wristwatch, but the map showed that it was 32 kilometers away. It was indeed quite far!

　　He scrolled down to the sub-menu and found the "Guided Car" section, where dozens of different styles of guided cars popped up for him to choose from.

　　He casually selected the fastest single-person model, and with a "ding" sound, the screen displayed the conspicuous words, "Calling, please wait where you are."

　　A few minutes later, a fully enclosed, black, bullet-shaped car that was no more than two meters long came to a stop in front of John Smith.

　　There was no one in the car. It was the latest model of intelligent automatic driving technology, which was convenient and fast.

　　John Smith aimed his wristwatch at the sensor on the side of the guided car, confirmed his identity, and then the car door automatically lifted up. He climbed inside and fastened his seat belt according to the instructions.

　　Before boarding, John Smith had been wondering how this fully automated guided car ensured safety.

　　Wasn't it concerned about colliding with other active bodies if it went too fast?

　　Not long after, John Smith realized that the guide car would move slowly and steadily on the ground, avoiding obstacles 100% until it reached a dedicated underground tunnel where it would then speed up and drive crazily, which thrilled him.

　　After about ten minutes, the guide car returned to the surface and drove smoothly between rows of similarly styled low-rise buildings, eventually stopping in front of one of them.

　　John Smith immediately spotted the sign that read "477," indicating that he had arrived.

　　As the electronic notification sounded, he calmly opened the door and stepped out of the car.

　　Unlike the retro-style brick buildings he had envisioned, these dormitory buildings were made of metal plates and bricks, resembling small fortresses that were safe and sturdy yet unique.

　　Each building was about thirty meters tall but only had five floors, with four households on each floor, meaning that each building could accommodate twenty students.

　　With his wristwatch, John Smith passed through the hallway and his own dormitory door, finally stepping into his new home.

　　After a brief tour, he found that the apartment had a bedroom, living room, and bathroom, with a total area of over 100 square meters.

　　The decoration style was simple but not plain, and all the basic necessities were provided.

　　It was worth noting that the ceiling was over five meters high, probably designed to accommodate some students' larger pets.

　　"This is only a B-class dormitory. I wonder how luxurious the A-class ones are?"

　　John Smith silently joked to himself. Overall, it was comfortable, quiet, and elegant enough for him to be satisfied.

　　Lowering his head, John Smith shifted his focus to Galaxy and was surprised to find that the little creature was sleeping on his chest again, with a slightly open mouth and a few drops of drool, presumably dreaming about something.

　　"Could it be that even though she's a mutant, she still inherited the night-active habits of moon rabbits, so she's easily drowsy during the day and spends most of her time in dreams?"

　　John Smith speculated while gently placing the little creature on the soft bed and pinching her little ears.

　　After leaving the bedroom, John Smith didn't hesitate to enter the bathroom.

　　After two days of running around, he had developed a strong odor.

　　Even if Galaxy didn't mind it, John Smith couldn't bear it himself.

　　After taking a shower, he comfortably held Galaxy and took a nap.

　　When he woke up, he felt refreshed and the exhaustion of the past two days was completely gone.

　　"Knock, knock, knock!"

　　Just as John Smith was about to delve deeper into the watch's functions, a rapid knocking sound suddenly echoed from the door.
