I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1268: The Strange Man
Chapter 1268: Chapter 1268: The Strange Man
"That’s me, who are you?"
You wiped your sweat with a nano towel, revealing two small, white canine teeth as you smiled.
"My name is Bangde. I am a personal lawyer hired by Old Ling. From today on, for the next four years, I will serve as your personal lawyer and legal advisor. This is your Identity Crystal Card. It contains ten thousand Galaxy coins; this is all your property."
Bangde handed over a crystal card.
You took the crystal card that marked your identity and said nonchalantly, "Alright, may I ask if we can set off now?"
"Yes." Bangde said expressionlessly.
You sighed, rubbing your back and said, "Sorry, I’ve been exercising too much these days and can’t get up momentarily, can you help me?"
You reached out your right hand to Bangde.
"Sorry, I refuse to have physical contact with anyone."
Upon saying this, you noticed that Bangde was surrounded by a transparent protective barrier, surprisingly ten centimeters thick.
You know this kind of defense barrier typically sticks to a person’s skin and is usually used to protect underage girls, so this layer of barrier is also known as the Girl’s Protective Barrier.
It was unexpected that such a protective barrier would appear on a grown man.
Since Bangde wouldn’t help, you could only struggle to stand on your own, pressing a green button on your belt, then exhaling heavily.
You sighed, "I still can’t adapt to this double gravity for now. It seems I’ll need to train myself well after getting to the school."
Honestly, ever since entering this so-called game, switching between this future world and the "Arrogance" game world gives you a sense of blurred reality.
You aren’t even sure if "Arrogance" is the game, or if this future world is the real game.
Bangde was first taken aback, and then spoke in the same toneless, deep male voice, "Because this neighborhood will be demolished, you will temporarily stay in the school’s dormitory. You can only move out after finding a place on your own."
"That doesn’t matter to me. I can even sleep on the floor." You shrugged, then apologized to Bangde, "Heh, sorry, I just broke a sweat, gotta take a quick cold shower first."
Seeing no reaction from Bangde, you hurried into a small room, and soon the sound of running water emerged from inside.
"The price of water on Earth is much cheaper than before, but this water all comes from Pluto, so please conserve water resources." freёnovelkiss.com
"I know, this is my last shower at home, you should at least let me enjoy it," you said, at which Bangde had nothing else to add, remaining standing without any intention of sitting down.
Once you finished washing and changed into a set of new clothes, you appeared before Bangde. To Bangde’s surprise, a boy around sixteen was actually over 1.7 meters tall. You didn’t seem that tall just now; could it be that you grew several centimeters in the blink of an eye?
However, Bangde didn’t ask, and you naturally didn’t know the questions in Bangde’s heart, so this issue remained unvoiced within Bangde.
"Time is getting late. Your transmission time is at three-thirty in the afternoon, so you have more than half an hour."
"Alright, let’s go."
You glanced back at everything around you, then stepped out of the doorway with a suitcase and Bangde. Once outside, Bangde pointed towards a distant tower, saying, "That is the Transmission Center, you must reach there within thirty minutes."
"Hey, what about you?" you asked curiously.
"I have my own miniature transmitter." As he spoke, Bangde’s figure slowly blurred, then dissolved into particles and disappeared.
"Tch."
You swallowed a breath of air, then used the most "basic" mode of transportation to reach the Transmission Center. Upon arrival, you discovered Bangde had already left ahead of you. He left a three-dimensional image in the Transmission Information Center: "You’re too slow. I’ve gone ahead to Asia University to handle all the procedures for you. After you reach the school, check at the school information center to find out. I will appear when you need me most."
Faced with such a succinct explanation, you could only muster a wry smile, quickly arriving at the Asia University floating in the northern sky via the transmitter.
It was also your first time seeing the azure sky in the real world. Staring at the blue sky overhead and the floating white clouds, you were overwhelmed with emotion and couldn’t help recalling a famous ancient poet’s verse from thousands of years ago. Your mind turned, instantly adapting the verse into your own: "Steel towers shadow the sky, floating cities beneath lie, how much does conscience weigh? Not as much as a red gate’s stay."
Your casually crafted ancient poem not only failed to receive praise from those around, but rather earned looks akin to gazing at a lunatic. Some passersby even mumbled as they went by: "Another madman imitating ancient scholars, alas, this world."
All you could do was respond with a wry smile, boarding an auto-guided taxi, swiping your crystal card, and the system sounded with a lively, pleasant voice: "Please use voice input to state your destination."
"Information Center, thank you."
"The car has started, please fasten your seatbelt."
As soon as the words were spoken, the car you sat in slowly started moving.
Asia University, after all, is different from a city. Here, all surrounding transportation is unusually slow, and the auto-guided taxi feels more like a tour bus, so slow it makes you want to jump off.
Before getting in the car, you had already learned about the performance of auto-guided taxis, coming fully equipped.
As the car moved slowly, you took out over a dozen newspapers from your bag. These are all the latest editions, filled with information you haven’t been exposed to. To make up for your own shortcomings and better adapt to life in this world, you must get ahead of others.
The New "Arrogance" internal testing is over, and the public test is about to begin, meaning it won’t be long before everyone returns to the starting line. By then, you definitely won’t lag behind anyone, nor will you lose to others.
The car finally stopped at a spherical building. As soon as you stepped in the door, three people surrounded you: "Are you a new student?"
The three asked in unison.
You nodded awkwardly, and one seemingly clever person winked at you: "I am your senior. I know our school very well. If you hire me, I’ll take you around the whole campus for a very affordable price and introduce you to many beautiful and lovely girls. You have to trust me; my social circle is vast."
Before you could speak, another solid-looking person quickly grabbed your hand: "Hire me; I’ll lead you around the entire campus, ensuring you’ll feel satisfied and comfortable."
