Chapter 25 Jiang Haochuan

"This is my experience playing Wasteland."

"After that, the more I thought about it, the more creepy it became. I looked up some information and did some verification..."

That's why it came into being.

Yufei spoke softly, pointing to the manuscript paper filled with writing in Yu Jin's hand.

After saying that,

Yu Jin, Lao Cui, and Gang Ge all fell silent.

A very long time passed.

Old Cui spoke first, breaking the eerie atmosphere:

"Maybe it's just a weird Easter egg from the game developers, meant to scare the players, right?"

Upon hearing this, Brother Hong nodded in agreement: "Very likely! After all, it's just the old man's side of the story, without any solid evidence."

"Besides, that old man died too hastily, being sacrificed just like that. Maybe you triggered some hidden plot, so this plot kill is giving you a reward."

He paused, then added, "The idea of ​​games invading reality is still too fantastical, it feels... a bit far-fetched."

Yufei did not refute.

He didn't completely believe in such a bizarre thing, so he only wrote 'An Analysis of the Possibility of Wasteland Invading Reality'.

"Old Yu, what do you think?"

Old Cui and Brother Gang exchanged a glance and looked at Yu Jin.

"I've never even logged into Wasteland, so what opinions could I possibly have?"

Yu Jin shook his head and didn't say anything more.

"Too."

Old Cui realized what was happening.

For a while.

The four people in dormitory 615 fell into deep thought.

the other side.

While the four were discussing, almost all the students in the auditorium had arrived.

As the notice said, the class advisors of each class started taking attendance one by one from the roster.

ten minutes later.

The lecture officially began.

A middle-aged man who claimed to be a 'survival expert' but exuded the air of a soldier walked onto the stage.

"Hello, students of Jiangcheng University!"

The classic and clichéd opening remarks failed to attract the attention of many students.

Look around.

Although the auditorium was packed with students, almost all of them were engrossed in their phones, while others were whispering to each other.

In short, nobody really took this so-called 'wasteland survival' lecture to heart.

Time passes slowly.

The lecture lasted a full hour and a half.

The expert on the podium started by discussing "what is a wasteland" and then moved on to "basic common sense of wilderness survival," from "psychological preparation for wilderness survival" to "the importance of collective strength in extreme environments"...

The expert spoke at length, earnestly and seriously.

but……

Still, nobody took it seriously.

after all.

Right now, we are living in a peaceful and prosperous era. Although carbon emissions are a bit high and global sea levels are rising a bit, we are still a very, very long way from that so-called 'wasteland apocalypse'.

Swish-

Beside Yu Jin.

At this moment, Lao Cui and the other two were all focused and listening very attentively.

Yufei, in particular, listened while scribbling on the manuscript paper, as if he were taking notes of the key points.

"The rain is coming..."

Yu Jin sighed inwardly.

That concludes my remarks. I hope you will keep them in mind!

In front of the auditorium.

The expert, whose throat was dry from talking, let out a long sigh and stood up from his seat.

slam-la-

Below the podium.

Sparse applause broke out.

"it is finally over!"

One student stretched and sighed.

Where should we eat dinner?

"Should we eat at the school cafeteria or go out for a meal?"

Some students were also discussing their plans after the lecture.

"Everyone!"

But the next moment.

The expert had just stepped down when a square-faced man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses took his place on the stage.

"Jiang Haochuan!"

"Why is the principal here?"

The students who were about to get up and leave obediently sat back down in their seats upon seeing this.

The president of Jiangnan University is known for his strictness. If you accidentally get targeted by him, your university life will be difficult.

"Did everyone remember what the expert just said?" Jiang Haochuan asked with a serious expression and a somewhat imposing tone.

"remember!"

Scattered responses came from the audience, mostly from student leaders such as those in the student union.

Although they hadn't listened at all before, they still acted as if they had 'kept it in mind'.

"it is good."

Jiang Haochuan nodded, but his gaze did not linger on the student leaders in the front row.

His gaze swept across the auditorium, one row, two rows, three rows...

Wherever the principal looked, whether they were freshmen or seniors, everyone obediently put away their phones and sat up straight.

Not long after.

Jiang Haochuan stopped scanning.

His gaze fell on an area where people were sitting towards the back of the middle.

"hiss--"

"Why does it look like they're looking in the direction of our class!"

Hong Kong Brother realized what was happening, kept his eyes straight ahead, but let out a low gasp.

"ember!"

next moment.

Jiang Haochuan suddenly spoke, calling out this name.

The auditorium, filled with teachers and students, fell silent instantly.

"?"

Ember was also confused.

But out of basic courtesy, he still stood up from his seat.

Jiang Haochuan stared at the embers, his gaze filled with a hint of inquiry, which ultimately transformed into an approachable and friendly demeanor.

"I heard you're planning to organize members of your environmental protection club tomorrow to clean up the trash in that polluted river near the school?"

Jiang Haochuan's voice echoed in the auditorium.

"hold head high."

Yu Jin nodded, unsure why the principal had suddenly brought it up.

Are there enough people?

Jiang Haochuan asked.

"Enough."

The embers answered.

Do you need more people?

Jiang Haochuan asked.

"...?"

Yu Jin looked completely bewildered.

According to the system's evaluation criteria, the larger the scale of tomorrow's sewage river purification operation, the greater the reward.

but……

What did the principal mean by saying that at this time?
Could this also be part of Senior Yin Yao's superpower?
"it is good."

Jiang Haochuan nodded.

then.

He withdrew his gaze, then scanned the auditorium before speaking in a deep voice:
"The sewage river purification activity that Yu Jin will be carrying out tomorrow will have outstanding benefits for promoting the academic atmosphere of our students, raising their environmental awareness, and strengthening their social practice abilities."

"so--"

"Tomorrow, as the president of Jiangcheng University, I suggest that everyone, if they have the conditions, time, and willingness, participate as much as possible."

After speaking, Jiang Haochuan paused slightly and added:
"Students and teachers who participate in this activity will receive certain preferential treatment in the comprehensive quality assessment, scholarship application, and teacher performance evaluation at the end of this semester."

This statement came out.

The auditorium was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Students and teachers alike stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief!

Such a small environmental protection club activity actually alarmed the principal to personally endorse it.

even--

And this was on such a formal occasion with all the teachers and students present!

"Okay, let's break up the meeting!"

Jiang Haochuan waved and stepped down from the podium.

Until they went behind the scenes.

He finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"What you do today will happen tomorrow."

"If what Yao Yao said is true..."

"How many of our Jiangda students will be forced to travel to that desperate wasteland and apocalypse?"

"How many of them will survive, and how long will they live?"

"Even as the principal, there is a chance that I could be forced to pass through the helmet without even touching it."

"At that moment, should I also depend on 'Ember' for survival?"

Jiang Haochuan sighed softly.

As the president of Jiangda University, his position was not high enough to know these secrets.

but……

His other identity is Yin Yao's uncle.

Recently, Jiang Haochuan has broken the rules and defied public opinion to do so many favors for Yu Jin, which is naturally not only because of Yin Yao's request, but more so because of his own selfish motives.
