"Xiao Xiao?" Wang Dong'er was somewhat surprised, not expecting to encounter one of the original protagonists so soon.
"My name is Wang Dong'er."
Wang Dong'er extended her hand and gently shook hands with Xiao Xiao.
"Wang Dong...er?" Xiao Xiao paused for a moment before reacting and asking, "Are you a girl?"
"Yes." Mentioning this, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
The great dragon has already ridden the yellow crane away, leaving only the great dragon pit behind.
Now, what she wanted to do was purely wishful thinking.
"Hmm...it seems like that's the freshman teaching building over there, shall we go together?" Xiao Xiao carefully sized up Wang Dong'er.
"Sure."
Wang Dong'er didn't refuse.
Who would refuse to go with a beautiful girl?
Although Xiao Xiao seemed a bit mentally unstable in the early parts of the original story—she wasn't from a commoner background like Jiang Nannan, and despite possessing twin martial souls, she prematurely added a soul ring to her second martial soul for the freshman assessment—
it was merely a waste of her talent. What Wang Dong'er truly couldn't understand was that in the original story, Xiao Xiao would actually gamble with her own leg for such a low-level provocation.
Wasting talent was one thing, but losing a leg meant there weren't many ways to regenerate it…
Behind the statue facing the gate lay the core area of Shrek Academy, Sea God Lake.
Following the main road along Sea God Lake, the two quickly arrived at a very spacious plaza.
Behind the plaza were rows of teaching buildings, divided into four colors: white, yellow, purple, and black.
Further away was a cluster of gray buildings, clearly separated from the previous types of teaching buildings.
Xiao Xiao, quite familiar with Wang Dong'er, began introducing the school:"Dong'er, may I call you that?
Before coming here, I did some research on Shrek Academy.
The colors of these teaching buildings represent different grades."
"White is the freshman teaching building we're going to, yellow is for the second and third years of the outer academy, purple is for the fourth and fifth years, and black is for the sixth year.
It's said that if you can walk out of the black teaching building, you can get a graduation certificate from Shrek Academy's outer academy." "
That gray teaching building over there is supposedly the territory of the Soul Guidance Department."
"You know quite a lot," Wang Dong'er remarked.
Outside the white freshman teaching building, freshmen who had passed the registration exam gathered for student registration.
Among this group of Soul Masters, most of whom had just reached the fifteenth level of Soul Power, Wang Dong'er, already at level twenty-three, was naturally far superior.
Furthermore, possessing the Clear Sky Hammer, a power-type weapon spirit, Wang Dong'er was naturally quite strong, easily pushing through the crowd with Xiao Xiao to the registration teacher.
"Tuition is ten gold soul coins per academic year. The dormitory building is behind the teaching building.
Here are your dormitory key, school uniform, and freshman badge.
Keep them safe. If you lose them, you will need to compensate and buy new ones."
The school uniform is a uniform style, a pair of trousers, not a skirt or anything like that.
Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong'er's dormitory key and happily held up her own key, waving it around.
"Dong'er, look, we're in the same dormitory!"
Indeed, Shrek's freshman dormitories are two-person rooms, and Wang Dong'er didn't expect to be assigned to the same dormitory as Xiao Xiao so coincidentally.
Perhaps it was because the registration teacher saw that they were together that they were assigned this way?
"Let's go, let's find the dormitory first." Xiao Xiao suddenly became bold and pulled Wang Dong'er's hand, walking towards the dormitory building.
Because students from all six years live in the same building, the dormitory building is very large.
At least compared to the freshman teaching building, it's like the difference between a little girl and a big man.
The dormitory building is also distinguished by four colors and has a total of six floors, which looks rather strange.
Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao walked to the dormitory gate in the white area and spotted an old man reclining at the entrance.
The passing freshmen paid him almost no attention, and even Xiao Xiao wondered why Wang Dong'er had suddenly stopped.
In fact, this seemingly frail old man was none other than Mu En, the Sea God Pavilion Master, the head of the Shrek Academy's top combat force and the Shrek Decision Group, also known as the Dragon God Douluo.
Wang Dong'er didn't have a particularly good impression of him.
The people of Shrek Academy all outwardly proclaimed justice, but were secretly full of depravity. She stopped because of the system.
[Task: Sweeping Monk
Task Description: You discovered the "gatekeeper" in front of the dormitory building.
Knowing the plot, you know that he is the Dragon God Douluo Mu En.
You decide (1. to talk to him) (2. to ignore him and walk away)]
This was the system's second task, but unlike the first task, which directly gave the goal of joining Shrek Academy, it offered two choices.
Wang Dong'er wasn't sure if either choice would grant a reward, but there was no doubt that the first choice was more likely to trigger a "side quest."
This God-Chosen System felt like some kind of game tool.
"Excuse me, sir, do you know where dormitory 403 is?" Wang Dong'er asked.
The old man, who had been keeping his eyes down, only looked up at Wang Dong'er after she asked, casually pointed, and said, "The innermost part of the fourth floor, the door has a number."
After leaving, Xiao Xiao immediately started praising, "Dong'er, you're so smart! Since that old man was here, he must be in charge of the dorms.
Asking him is much faster than searching one by one."
Hearing this, Wang Dong'er rolled her eyes. The dorm rooms were clearly arranged in a pattern, and searching directly wouldn't take much time.
If it weren't for the system task, she wouldn't have bothered to strike up a conversation like Huo Yuhao, since she wouldn't be staying at Shrek Academy for very long anyway.
Now that the system task was completed, it was time to reveal the rewards.
[The "Sweeping Monk" mission is complete, and a random reward has been obtained: the "Reign Supreme" cultivation method.]
This immediately stunned Wang Dong'er. "
Reign Supreme" is an ability created by Mu En that integrates one's spiritual power into a soul skill.
If releasing a soul skill is like dealing physical damage, then "Reign Supreme" adds a bit of magical damage on top of that.
She never expected that just talking to someone would yield such a reward; this was a huge windfall.
Moreover, because she was a transmigrator and had absorbed a wisp of Tang San's divine consciousness, Wang Dong'er's soul and spiritual power were much stronger than ordinary soul masters, perhaps even enough to contend with spiritual-type soul masters.
"Dong'er, why did you stop again?"
Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong'er curiously, captivated by her stunning face and pink-blue eyes.
"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something." Wang Dong'er smiled faintly. "Let's go.
Judging from the state of this dormitory building, it hasn't been cleaned in a long time.
We'll be busy later."
