Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 430 - 427: The Bizarre Roommate [Second Update]

In the golden autumn of September, it was the season for students to return to school.

Ye Chuxue didn’t let her parents send her off; she went to Jiangnan University directly with Li Chen.

Standing at the entrance of the century-old institution, Jiangnan University, and watching those youthful students, Li Chen was filled with countless emotions.

"This place is still the same as I remember, not much has changed!"

Hearing Li Chen mutter to himself, Ye Chuxue tilted her little head and asked him, "Have you been here before?"

Li Chen replied, "Yeah, I’ve been here before, it’s heaven!"

Ye Chuxue was surprised: "Heaven?"

Li Chen seriously said, "Yes, because wherever you are, that place is heaven to me!"

Facing the sudden sweet nothings from Li Chen, Ye Chuxue’s pretty face blushed, and she chastised him saying, "Be serious."

Just then, two senior female students came over and asked if they were freshmen from the Economics and Management Department?

Ye Chuxue said she was.

Li Chen shook his head and said that he was from the Archaeology Department.

"Archaeology Department?"

The two seniors looked at Li Chen as if they had seen an alien, staring blankly.

"Does our school have that department?"

"I don’t remember, it should though!"

...

Hearing their conversation, Li Chen felt a faint sadness.

Ye Chuxue took the luggage from Li Chen’s hand, smiled slightly, and said: "I’ll go with the seniors to complete the registration first, you should hurry and do the same. Let’s have lunch together at noon!"

After walking a few steps, one kind-hearted senior turned back and said to Li Chen, "The Archaeology Department is a small department; look around and see if you can find the registration area for freshmen in some corner. If you can’t find it, just go directly to the school’s admissions office to ask!"

Li Chen nodded, then leisurely strolled alone around the campus.

However, after walking around the school twice, it was between two large trash bins that he finally found a banner fluttering in the wind.

The banner arrogantly displayed a line of big characters: Welcoming Area for the Archaeology Department Freshmen, Class of 2009

Below the banner was a shabby table, where a guy who looked very sleazy was dozing off.

Li Chen approached and knocked on the table.

The snoozing guy was startled awake by Li Chen’s knock, quickly wiping off drool.

"Hello, student. My name is Meng Lang. Are you a new student in the Archaeology Department?"

Li Chen glanced at his drool-covered chubby hand and decided not to shake hands, simply nodding instead.

"My name is Li Chen, from the Archaeology Department, is this where I report?"

Meng Lang nodded and said, "Yes, this is the place. Show me your admission notice, and fill out this form!"

Li Chen thanked him and proceeded as instructed.

"I say, student, how disillusioned must one be to think of enrolling in such an unpopular major like Archaeology. Is it because, like me, you’re influenced by ’Tomb Raider Notes’ and want to become a new century Tomb Raider Captain?"

Li Chen sheepishly smiled, saying he was interested in archaeology.

After Meng Lang verified everything was correct, he began to pack up the table.

Li Chen puzzled, asked, "Why are you packing up? Not receiving new students anymore?"

Meng Lang said, "No more reception, we’re already done!"

Li Chen was astonished: "Done? Is the efficiency that high?"

Meng Lang tossed the banner into the trash bin and casually said, "This year, you’re the only one for the Archaeology Department. How can the efficiency not be high?"

Grasping a tuft of grass, the only seedling?

In his previous life, he was in the same major as Ye Chuxue, also studying economics and management.

Only this time, considering that he would definitely be skipping classes often and not spending too many days at school, he made a special request to the president to place him in a major with few students and light coursework.

But he never imagined that he would be the sole student in this major. Can he even happily skip classes now?

Since Li Chen was the only student in the Archaeology Department, he was not given a separate dorm room but was mixed in to live with other majors’ students.

By the time Li Chen arrived at the dorm, there were already three people inside.

The boy sitting on the bed near the door was tall and thin, looking very gentle and quiet. Upon seeing Li Chen, he took the initiative to come over and shake hands.

"Classmate, my name is Cui Pu, from the Computer Science Department!"

Li Chen shook his hand and said, "My name is Li Chen, from the Archaeology Department!"

The other two boys also took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Li Chen and introduce themselves.

The second roommate was a boy from a mountain village named Shitou, who seemed very shy and somewhat inhibited.

Indeed, it was no wonder. Not counting this time, the furthest place he’d been to was the county town where his high school was located. Coming to the Six Dynasties Ancient Capital, an international metropolis, he felt very restrained just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Gardens, afraid of doing something wrong and being laughed at by his classmates.

The third roommate, named Zhou Ji, looked quite comical, somewhat resembling Guo Degang. When he heard Li Chen was in the Archaeology Department, he looked at him the way a lecher looks at a beautiful woman, eyes shining brightly. freёweɓnovel.com

"Classmate, you don’t know, my dream major was Archaeology, but my dad just wouldn’t allow it. He even said that if I dared to apply, he would disown me as his son."

Li Chen thought of the sleazy senior Meng Lang’s words and casually asked, "You also want to be a new-century Tomb Raider Captain?"

Upon hearing Li Chen say this, Zhou Ji’s eyes lit up even more. They had only known each other for three minutes, and he was already prepared to consider Li Chen as his best friend for life.

Zhou Ji also excitedly told Li Chen that this summer, he had unearthed a Han Dynasty bronze vessel near his home.

Afterwards, he handed over the bronze vessel to the country. The government even specially awarded him a silk banner and five hundred yuan.

Then, in his excitement, he took that five hundred yuan, ready to have a passionate "romance". The girl fell in love with him at first sight and was ready to devote herself to him that very night.

Unfortunately, the police insisted this was soliciting prostitution, and stubbornly detained him for seven days...

Li Chen listened with a face full of embarrassment; these were truly some bizarre roommates. It was the first time he had heard someone talk about soliciting prostitution in such a fresh and refined way.

Just as Zhou Ji was passionately discussing with Li Chen about how to be a qualified Tomb Raider Captain, someone pushed open the dorm door.

This time the noise was great; a whole crowd of people streamed in one after another. It was like moving house with all the aunts and uncles involved.

A richly dressed lady, upon seeing the state of the dorm room and then looking at Li Chen and Zhou Ji, immediately frowned, speaking with disdain.

"How can Jiangnan University, being a key university, have such a shabby dorm room? Is this even fit for human habitation?"

Hearing her words, the straightforward Zhou Ji got upset and retorted on the spot.

"Aunty, how can you say that? Are we not human?"

The rich lady glanced contemptuously at Zhou Ji and said, "You bunch of country bumpkins, are you even comparable to my son?"

After saying that, she looked at her son with a face full of pity and said, "Sunx Tong, you’ve never suffered since you were a child. Can you really get used to living in such a run-down place? Or should mom rent you a five-star suite outside and hire a maid for you, so you can study in peace?"

"Mom, I came here to study, not to enjoy myself. I think it’s quite good here, so let’s just drop it!"

A tall and handsome boy said impatiently.

"Alright, it’s happily decided then. You all go on out!"

Before he had finished speaking, he had already unceremoniously pushed his mother and all the relatives out the door.

After about five minutes, he came running back, his face full of excitement, "Sorry about before, let me introduce myself, my name is Sunx Tong, please take care of me!"

Upon finishing, he also respectfully bowed.

Seeing his politeness, the previous awkward atmosphere was somewhat eased.

After warming up to each other, everyone started to become more familiar.

"Our Jiangnan University really is a place filled with beauties; just now at the registration spot, I saw a goddess... indescribable in words. Absolutely a beauty that can bring a city to its knees, literally breathtaking!"

In his excitement, Sunx Tong took out a sneak shot of the back view and showed it to Li Chen and Zhou Ji.

Li Chen quickly glanced at it, and his expression was slightly surprised.

Hey, isn’t that Lan Huanxi? How come she also enrolled at Jiangnan University?
