[Brain storage location]

Taipei, Huaqing College.

This is a world-renowned academy for superhumans. Even the current president of the famous Superhuman Association graduated from this school. It can be said that as long as you can get into this school, you are guaranteed a bright future.

Today is the annual registration day for new students at Tsinghua University, and the scene, which should have been orderly, is instead somewhat unsettling.

"Look, what is that person carrying on their back?"

"What a huge iron block! Wait, it looks like a coffin?"

"This... I hope he's not in my class. Why is he carrying a coffin so openly? It's bad luck. Let's go, let's stay away from him."

Ignoring the outside discussions, Chen Guan tightened his shoulder straps, handed his admission notice to the volunteer, and after swiping his ID to prove his identity, he was able to enter the campus smoothly.

Because of this coffin, he has suffered a lot of criticism along the way. No one was even willing to take him by taxi, so he walked here from the teleportation array.

These people didn't come up and beat him up; they just scolded him a few times, which was insignificant to him.

Fortunately, as a top-tier university, Tsinghua University is very inclusive and did not refuse to allow coffins to be brought into the school. Otherwise, Chen Guan really wouldn't know what to do.

Inside the coffin is his true body, which is now in a coma. His external body is just a disguise and cannot move more than a meter away from his true body.

"Ugh."

Chen Guan sighed wearily, because the coffin contained a living person, and he couldn't put it into his storage ring. He had no choice but to carry it on his back himself.

Fortunately, the coffin is made of the ancient black iron given by the system. Other functions aside, the most important thing for the coffin is that it is invulnerable to swords and spears!

This is a dangerous world of high martial arts, where spiritual power exists. With the protection of this coffin-shaped tortoise shell, at least I don't have to worry about being riddled with holes in a fight.

Moreover, you don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back, as the turtle shell is extremely sturdy.

"By the way, System, where is the main character now?"

The system quickly responded: "According to the timeline, the protagonist An Changqing should be going through the enrollment procedures with his childhood sweetheart Su Yuehe. However, they are at the North Gate, while you are at the South Gate."

Chen Guan: "..."

Why didn't you say so sooner?

The system, completely unaware that it was offering hindsight advice, simply encouraged, "So, get running, host!"

What could Chen Guan do when he was stuck with such a terrible manager? He could only resign himself to his fate and start running wildly around the campus, ignoring the strange looks from those around him.

The coffin itself was made of very heavy material, but fortunately, Tongzi was still somewhat useful, giving him a little boost, which allowed Chen Guan to carry the coffin with the strength of an ordinary person, and now he could run as fast as the wind.

Youth has no price; let's run wild right now!

After running for nearly an hour, Chen Guan finally reached the North Gate. He leaned against the wall, looking a little out of breath. Fortunately, the ordinary people in this world were on a completely different level from the ordinary people in his previous world.

Otherwise, given his previous level of civility, he would have been dead right there by now.

As for why he did this, it was entirely to show off in front of the "audience".

Chen Guan transmigrated into an anime, and he needed to gain popularity points in the world on the other side of the screen. 1000 popularity points could be exchanged for 1 free attribute point by the system, which could be added to make him stronger.

Besides attribute points, the system shop also has many other good items, all of which can be redeemed using popularity points.

This is why Chen Guan had to exhaust himself crossing the school on the first day of school.

The consequence of dragging the heavy iron coffin across the campus was that by the time Chen's coffin finally arrived at the North Gate, the welcome point was already sparsely populated, and most of the new students had already completed their procedures and left.

His gaze swept urgently across the empty square and the few people present, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Chief, where are they?"

"Uh... According to the latest location, An Changqing and Su Yuehe completed all the formalities three minutes ago and were guided by volunteers to the East District dormitory building."

Chen Guan's vision went black.

East Campus Dormitory Building!

That would mean crossing almost half the campus! Moreover, without the natural plot setting of freshman registration, how could a stranger carrying a coffin naturally appear in front of the protagonist?

Are we supposed to chase after him to his dorm and shout, "An Changqing, I'm your fan!"

The scene was too beautiful; whether it would gain popularity was unknown, but the probability of being seen as a pervert or a lunatic was extremely high.

"Host, don't be discouraged! Opportunity always favors the prepared!"

"Based on the analysis of the protagonist's movement path, there is an 87% probability that they will pass through Lingyun Road on their way to the East District dormitory building. That road is the main road connecting the teaching area and the living area. It has a beautiful environment and is often used by senior students to practice their abilities, making it a good place for a chance encounter."

"Run into a ghost?!" Chen Guan roared inwardly. "Even if I get there now, it'll take at least ten or twenty minutes. They'll be long gone by then!"

An Changqing was no pushover like him; with his strength, his speed and stamina far surpassed his own.

"However, host," the system's electronic voice held a strange excitement, "you can take a shortcut, go over that trial forest ahead, and save at least half the time."

"The Trial Forest is where the academy allows new students to experience the wilderness. Although it's a little dangerous, with your turtle... cough cough, with the defensive capabilities of the Xuan Iron Coffin, it shouldn't be a problem!"

Trial Forest? Chen Guan looked at the lush forest behind the North Gate, where faint roars of beasts could be heard. His lips twitched. This was the place where the school trained practical combat skills. Although students were not usually prohibited from entering, it was a bit dangerous for him.

This damn system really doesn't take his stamina seriously. He ran for half an hour carrying a coffin, and then he had to brave some kind of trial forest.

However, thinking of his popularity points and the valuable items in the system shop that would allow him to survive in this dangerous world, Chen Guan gritted his teeth.

"Let's do it!"

Without further hesitation, he adjusted his shoulder straps, took a deep breath, and strode heavily toward the Trial Forest.

The black iron coffin made a dull sound as he ran, attracting the attention of the remaining volunteers in the square and the passing senior students.

"Look, that madman carrying the coffin is running again."

"He's going to the Trial Forest this time? Is he crazy? How can he move around in the forest carrying that thing?"

"Maybe they have a special ability, and that coffin is a manifestation of their power?"

"Whose good person's ability manifests as a coffin... that's so unlucky."

The murmurs were left behind by Chen Guan.

He rushed into the edge of the Trial Forest. The dense foliage immediately blocked out the sky, the light became dim, and the air was filled with a peculiar smell of grass and soil, with a faint fishy odor mixed in. It was not exactly pleasant to smell.
