Chapter 5 Dormitory No. 404

  Lin Fan dragged his luggage towards the student dormitory, he had originally wanted to go to the school's personnel department, but seeing that it was already late now, he estimated that the people there would have gone home early and could only plan to go again tomorrow.

  Huaxia University is very large, and if someone with a slightly poor sense of direction comes here for the first time, it's easy to get lost! Although Huaxia University is big, the layout of the buildings inside is extremely reasonable. In order to avoid students getting lost, there are signs every certain distance in the campus, which show the map of the whole school and the current location.

  After entering the realm of Zhujibei, Lin Fan's memory was extremely exceptional. With just one glance at the map of Huaxia University, it was etched in his mind.

  Although he had known that Huaxia University was very large, Lin Fan still underestimated the vast area of Huaxia University and walked for nearly half an hour under the guidance of the map before arriving at the student dormitory where he would be staying.

  Lin Fan climbed up to the fourth floor of the dormitory building and came to the door of room 404.

  This will be where I'll be staying for the next four years!

  Lin Fan took a deep breath and pulled out the dormitory key he had received when he registered to open the door.

  Suddenly, the dormitory door was opened from the inside, and a giant over 1.9 meters tall, a head taller than Lin Fan, appeared before his eyes. Lin Fan, who had not expected such a situation, was slightly stunned for a moment.

  But the other party obviously didn't expect someone to be standing outside the door, and was also stunned. However, the other party quickly came to their senses, smiling at Lin Fan: "I suppose you're the last member of this dormitory!"

  "Ah, I'm from this dorm." Lin Fan stepped into the dorm room through the space that the other person had made for him.

  Behind Da Han were two boys with kind smiles on their faces looking at Lin Fan and nodded to him.

  The dormitories of Hua Xia University are four-person, with each room accommodating four people. The rooms are quite large, covering an area of over 30 square meters, and are equipped with four double-decker beds. The upper layer of the double-decker bed is for sleeping, while the lower layer has a wardrobe, computer desk and other furniture.

  Three of the beds already have occupants, and the remaining one is naturally Lin Fan's.

  After Lin Fan finished packing his luggage, he found that the three people in the same dormitory were smiling at him with a smile. Just when Lin Fan felt hairy in his heart, the tall man who was nearly two meters tall spoke up, his voice extremely loud: "Hello, my name is Zhou Qiang, I have a question to ask you, how old are you? When's your birthday?"

  "Oh! Hello, I'm Lin Fan, eighteen years old, and my birthday is July 21st. What's up?" Lin Fan asked with a puzzled tone at the end.

  Who would have thought that Zhou Qiang's smile grew even thicker, and he patted a somewhat shifty-looking boy on the back, saying: "Old Two, I've decided to make you Old Two! Haha"

  As he spoke, Zhou Qiang burst out laughing loudly, and another boy with glasses also laughed out loud.

  Only that somewhat lewd-looking boy's eyes were filled with grievances staring at Lin Fan, making Lin Fan's whole body covered in goosebumps.

  After laughing for a while, Zhou Qiang slowly stopped his laughter and said to Lin Fan, who was full of puzzlement: "You must be very puzzled why Xu Bing and I laughed so loudly, right? Let me tell you the reason!"

  After listening to Zhou Qiang's explanation, Lin Fan only knew that before he came, the three people in the dormitory proposed to rank themselves from big to small, discussed several methods, and finally chose the most reliable and convincing method, which was to rank by age.

  After lining up, Zhou Qiang, the strong and handsome man, is the eldest, Tang Xuan, the sly man, is the second, and Xu Bing, the eyes man, is the third.

  Lao Er Tang Xuan suddenly became unwilling and insisted on re-arranging.

  However, Lao Da Zhou Qiang and Lao San were unwilling, two votes against one vote, Tang Xuan had no choice but to reluctantly accept his second-in-command position.

  Fortunately, Xu Bing told Tang Xuan that there was still one person who had not arrived at the dormitory, and he might have a chance to turn over, which made Tang Xuan's dissatisfaction disappear.

  Who would have thought that Lin Fan's age was the same as Tang Xuan's, but his birthday was several months later than Tang Xuan's. Tang Xuan was destined to be the second child!

  Lin Fan's mouth also curled up into a smile after understanding the reason behind the matter.

  The ranking of the top three among the four remained unchanged, and Lin Fan became the oldest due to his youngest age.

  "Come on! To welcome the last member of our dormitory 404, Old Four, I'll treat you to dinner tonight!" Zhou Qiang patted his chest loudly, with a heroic and generous tone.

  "Hurray! Long live our boss!" Tang Xuan and Xu Bing cheered in unison.

  Lin Fan also joined in the chorus of jeers.

  A faint friendship began to slowly flow in the hearts of the four people.

  ......

  Outside the school, Lin Fan and his three friends found a table in a large restaurant, ordered several small dishes and a case of beer, and started drinking freely.

  This meal took a long time to finish, but it was also very enjoyable.

  When several people left the food stalls, it was already quite dark, and the streetlights had been lit for some time.

  Xu Bing and Tang Xuan were both drunk from drinking a lot of beer.

  Lin Fan wasn't drunk because he had already reached the Building Foundation realm, and a little beer couldn't knock him out. On the other hand, Lao Da Zhou Qiang didn't seem to be very drunk either, it seemed that as people grew taller, their alcohol tolerance also increased!

  Then Lin Fan supported Tang Xuan, Zhou Qiang supported Xu Bing, and the four of them walked towards the school like this.

  Having left the big stall for a distance, suddenly seven or eight people who looked like young hooligans walked up from in front.

  When that group of thugs walked in front of Lin Fan and the others, they stopped. One of them who seemed to be the leader looked at Lin Fan and said, "Are you Lin Fan?"

  Lin Fan is really too recognizable, a pair of old-fashioned glasses that no one would wear has become his trademark.

  "That's right, I'm Lin Fan! What can I do for you?" Lin Fan nodded slightly.

  "That's it! Brothers, come on and teach him a good lesson!" The leader of the thugs waved his hand, and the thugs behind him immediately rushed towards Lin Fan.

  Lin Fan's eyebrows slightly furrowed. These thugs were clearly coming for him! However, if he fought them here, it would likely implicate Zhou Qiang and the others!

  "Want to move my brother, ask me first!" Drunken Tang Xuan shouted loudly, breaking free from Lin Fan's grasp on his arm, and charged at the group of thugs with his fists flying.

  Bang!

  Tang Xuan's fist slammed into a thug's nose, and instantly blood gushed out, one thug was knocked down by Tang Xuan.

  "Go!" Zhou Qiang and Xu Bing shouted in unison, also charging towards the group of thugs.

  It was unclear whether it was due to the wine they had drunk, but the three of them seemed particularly fierce and bold. Seven or eight thugs were knocked to the ground with just a few moves by Zhou Qiang and his two companions.

  Among the three, Zhou Qiang relied solely on his physical strength to beat down the thugs who attacked him; Lao Er Tang Xuan was somewhat confused due to intoxication, but Lin Fan still managed to discern some fixed patterns in Tang Xuan's movements; and the frail Xu Bing relied entirely on his desperate momentum to knock down the thugs.

  A group of thugs now only has the leader left, the leader looks at his brother lying on the ground and stammers: "Lin Fan, aren't you just relying on your few brothers to be domineering? Come on and fight me one-on-one!"

  "Alright! As you wish!" Lin Fan walked towards the leader of the thugs.

  "Ah!"

  Out of nowhere, the leader of the thugs threw a punch at Lin Fan's head.

  Lin Fan slightly tilted his head, dodged the leader's attack and punched the leader in the stomach.

  Leading a group of hoodlums, Dun suddenly felt a severe pain spreading from his stomach throughout his body, and he squatted down to the ground with his back arched.

  Lin Fan leaned in close to the leader of the thugs and a cold, bone-chilling voice sounded in his ear: "Go back and tell your boss not to come looking for me again, or else I won't mind making him disappear from this world!"

  The icy voice, combined with the pain in his stomach, made the leader of the thugs feel a blackness before his eyes, and he fainted.

  "Great! Old Four, you've got a set!" Zhou Qiang gave Lin Fan a thumbs up.

  "When I was young, I practiced a few moves of Zhuangzi's style, not worth mentioning!" At this time, Lin Fan had already regained his calm demeanor, facing the praise of Lao Da Zhou Qiang, smiled slightly and brushed it off.

  Lin Fan and Zhou Qiang supported the two drunken men as they walked towards school, leaving behind a group of thugs who were groaning in pain.

  The next day, Lin Fan woke up to the sound of Zhou Qiang's loud snores and the painful complaints of Tang Xuan and Xu Bing.

  Today is the last day of August and also the last day for freshmen to report.

  Lin Fan had already reported yesterday, so he didn't need to go today, but Lin Fan had another matter to attend to at the school's personnel department, so he got up early.

  Went out for breakfast and also brought back a portion for the other three people in the dorm, as a way to thank them for their help last night.

  Lin Fan left his dormitory and headed towards the school's personnel department when he found that it was almost time.

  Lin Fan, who had already memorized the school map, quickly found the administrative building of the school and came to the door of the personnel department's office. Lin Fan knocked lightly three times.

  After getting permission from the people inside, Lin Fan pushed open the door and went in.

  There are several neatly arranged office desks in the office, and the office desks are filled with file folders and other office supplies. On both sides of the wall are two pots of well-grown potted plants, and against the wall at the back of the office are two tall filing cabinets.

  Several people in charge of the personnel department have started working at their own desks.

  "Is there something I can help you with?" asked a middle-aged man sitting at a desk near the gate, looking up from his work to ask Lin Fan.

  "Ah! I'm Lin Fan, a part-time worker and student. I'd like to ask about the work I'll be taking care of." Lin Fan said with a polite smile.

  Lin Fan's situation is relatively special, he is an orphan, and he has to take care of his tuition and living expenses by himself.

  Huaxia University also learned about Lin Fan's situation through some channels, after all, Lin Fan's grades for entering Huaxia University were excellent. Not wanting to let such a talented student lose the opportunity to continue studying, Huaxia University not only reduced part of Lin Fan's tuition fees but also gave him a half-work and half-study opportunity.

  "Oh, so you're that part-time student! Let me see... hmm, there doesn't seem to be anything that needs help with for now. How about this, I remember the school library is recruiting people, I'll arrange for you to go there. However, the salary is relatively lower, what do you think?" The middle-aged man pushed his glasses up.

  "No problem! As long as there's work, it's fine!" Lin Fan shook his head.

  "Alright, I'll give you a certificate!" The middle-aged man quickly issued a certificate for Lin Fan.

  Holding the certificate issued by the middle-aged man, Lin Fan found the person in charge of the school library and explained his intention, showing him the certificate.

  After confirmation, the person in charge of the library did not immediately arrange for Lin Fan to work, but instead waited until Lin Fan finished military training and obtained a course schedule before making arrangements.

  Saying goodbye to the person in charge of the library, Lin Fan walked towards the direction of the dormitory.
