My slow journey to infinity

Chapter 140 Civilized World·Hunting Club

Yutus Millennium Academy ushered in another peaceful day.

Like every day without big news, the students got up together. Most of them habitually glanced at last night's hot news, and then started their lost journey of eight in the morning.

The only difference today is that Aqua Regia, as "Benjamin M. Russell", joins the team walking to class.

The arrival of Wang Shui did not cause any ripples. In this kind of comprehensive institution of higher learning, transfer students would not attract attention. The students here did not even know that they had an extra classmate.

In other words, they don't care about this kind of thing at all - many people go to school for several years and don't even recognize their classmates.

In the morning, there are usually public basic classes.

Millennium Academy adopts a [ten-year academic system]. Students enroll at the age of fifteen and must study for at least ten years, and can delay it to fifteen years at most. The specific teaching plan varies from person to person.

But as long as there is demand for subsequent courses, even students with more than six academic years who have chosen a specific professional direction must take public basic courses.

Wang Shui, who has experienced decades of long self-study life, naturally will not rush for success because of his strong purpose. He still remains patient about basic education.

Even though this is the real world and there is no acceleration of time.

He strolled inside the academy, and before he had gone far, the scenery around him began to change rapidly.

Different from the old dormitory where Wang Shui lives, the buildings in the teaching area have a mechanical beauty in their sanctity.

Most of the building's main body is white and sky blue, with some metallic luster and matte features, creating a complex and harmonious modern urban feel.

The size of these buildings is also very large.

Wang Shui was entering a public teaching building halfway up a low mountain. The low mountain was only a few dozen meters high, but the hundreds of wide stone steps were really shocking.

The main entrance of the teaching building on the inside of the small square on the mountainside is twenty to thirty meters wide. After entering the teaching building, the interior style is even cooler and solemn. The light fragrance and cool air flow here make people feel refreshed.

Under the "knowledge dome" in the main hall, all students looked very small.

Even those students from non-human races are only two or three meters tall. They are very conspicuous in the crowd, but under the "knowledge", they are all the same small.

Looking at the alchemy array puzzle on the "Knowledge Dome", Wang Shui stood still for a few seconds, then shook his head with a smile and continued walking inside.

There are no specific divisions in the public teaching building, and classroom arrangements are changed in real time according to teaching needs, so students should also pay attention to checking course notices to obtain classroom locations.

Wang Shui had done his homework in advance.

Last night, he downloaded the dedicated software for the academy district network developed by his seniors decades ago on the academy’s internal network——

[True Strike].

Now in his field of vision, there are not only route instruction animations mapped in real time according to the "Course Plan", but also a large number of key environmental information prompts——

For example, where does the fork in front of him lead, where is the nearest vending machine, and where is the emergency room.

This information is very important for students because they don't come here every day.

Moreover, this software uses simple crayon-style animation instructions by default, which is very simple and efficient. The control interface is also very simple, but it has full functions. Aqua Regia speaks highly of it.

However, this function of automatically collecting environmental information, real-time integration, calculation, analysis, and digital prompts, Wang Shui, a former field maintenance worker, used to call it - "Combat Control System".

It is also commonly known as fire control.

This software only achieves 10% or 20% of the effect of a professional fire control system, because in addition to campus navigation, social networking and information management are its main functions.

Almost all students in thousands of colleges and universities in the entire college district use this software.

With the help of this software, Wang Shui can quickly integrate into the student community and start planning his study life normally without unnecessary social interaction.

Indeed, Wang Shui's arrival last night was very high-profile. This is his freedom as a [Russell].

But that was for the school administrators to see. Wang Shui showed his existence to get some convenience in life, but showing it to these students would only lead to some unnutritious social interactions.

So today, he was very low-key in his clothing. He didn't even wear the multi-functional coat that was the favorite of extraordinary beings.

Just a set of black and red work clothes without any pattern logo, a pair of light-colored glasses with black frames, and a brown and black canvas backpack with leather inserts make him look particularly low-key and gentle.

Following the prompts, Wang Shui entered the classroom on the curriculum very quietly.

He came not too early. In the small classroom, the front and back seats were already occupied.

In this new world, the scene of students sitting one after another made Wang Shui burst into laughter. An inexplicable sense of déjà vu seemed to really bring him back to his college days.

Wang Shui had no choice but to sit in the front seat in the middle, and then began to listen carefully to the lecture "Mechanical Principles of Automatic Arrays".

During this period, he not only took out the textbooks he had prepared long ago, but also took out a paper notebook and handwritten the key points mentioned by the teacher. The tip of the pen brushed against the paper and made a faint sound, which slightly attracted the students who were using the "data tablet". of attention.

However, it was just a glimpse. This hobby is not new.

"Okay, that's it for today's class. As per the old rules, there will be no after-class exercises. However, the next practical class will randomly give questions based on the knowledge learned. The specific content is still two choices of [Maintenance] and [Manufacturing]. First, if you fail, don’t expect to get credits from me.”

The teacher, who had an old face but a strong body, made an announcement to his students in a low and serious voice as usual.

His gray beard and hair are as neat and serious as his teaching style.

The students did not wail as Wang Shui imagined. Only then did Wang Shui realize that the students who could enter Millennium Academy were indeed not scumbags. They had the typical calmness and confidence of the academy.

However, today's students showed very surprised expressions before packing up and leaving.

Because they have a strong sense of time, they never answer questions after class. Teacher [Jean Enfield], who went back to the laboratory immediately after class, was actually stopped by a student!

And he's actually still smiling! He actually laughs? !

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Professor Enfield. I said goodbye to you at the [Triad] Alchemy Exhibition last time. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Wang Shui was quite polite and even gave him a small gift.

"I am equally happy, Mr. Benjamin. I learned this morning that you have arrived at Millennium Academy. I thought I would be able to see you today. How about it? The learning and scientific research atmosphere here is not bad, right?

Of course, this kind of teaching speed is definitely much slower than one-to-one teaching. "

"Public classrooms have a different flavor. At least they give me more time to think by myself. Knowledge is always like this, and it is always new. Let's talk while walking, Professor. I don't have any other classes this morning."

Wang Shui felt the gazes of the students coming in and out around him, and reluctantly extended an invitation to this professor who had a strong sense of time.

"Oh, of course! Just in time, come with me to the laboratory. If you encounter problems on campus in the future, you can come to me directly. Except for a small amount of class time, I am usually in the laboratory."

The two quickly left the public teaching building. What Wang Shui didn't notice was that the communication process between him and Professor Enfield quickly spread throughout the campus internal network.

Professor Enfield not only has a privileged vehicle on campus, but also has a dedicated driver and bodyguard.

However, what makes Wang Shui very strange is that in the academy, students can use simple low-altitude vehicles, but all vehicles, that is, medium and large vehicles, are not allowed to take off and can only travel on wheels.

Wang Shui is still observing and getting used to this place, but he also maintains communication with the professor.

"Mr. Benjamin, at the previous "Millennium Academy Board of Directors" meeting, I also thought that the fourth-year courses were too easy for you, but I did not apply for later courses for you.

Based on the one-on-one teaching I gave you not long ago, it is not difficult to see that your foundation is very unorganized.

Your thinking is quite logical. In terms of design, you also habitually believe in pragmatism. This is a very typical non-academic style.

Of course, "academic" is not a good word, but if you want to obtain [scholar certification], adopting an academic style will indeed save you some detours. "

The professor knew Wang Shui's purpose of coming here to study, and it was the professor himself who helped Wang Shui enter and study here.

Therefore, Professor Enfield definitely did not say it casually. Wang Shui followed the professor's words and asked:

"what do you mean?"

"Join my laboratory. This way, I can ensure that you have access to the most comprehensive modern system of [mechanics] that can also adapt to your learning speed.

My direct students who have graduated have established a small club called [Array Machine]. They have a lot of resources in the entire college area. You can use their strength to avoid detours and at the same time It can also ensure your own safety. "

Ah, this...this teacher is really called for nothing, the benefits are not ordinary.

Wang Shui briefly learned about the entire [College Area] last night.

Under the crystal dome is the inner city of Dulin City, which covers an area of ​​6 million, and the academy area located inside it, although it sounds like a small city, actually covers an area of ​​80 Thousands of square kilometers.

In Wang Shui's previous life, this was already a large country.

The college district has a high degree of autonomy. In addition to the overall management of the institution called the Educational Security Council, other social complex tasks naturally fall on the college.

Various political, military, and economic organizations within the college area are all dependent on the college.

[Jutus Millennium Academy], as the leader of thousands of colleges and universities and research institutes, its power is evident.

To put it simply, Millennium Academy not only controls a large number of cutting-edge research institutes and commercial companies, but also has a sizable private army.

Teaching and educating people is only one of the basic functions of this institution of higher learning. The student ID card is the "small nationality" of the students.

The "small club" [Array Machine] recommended by Professor Enfield to Wang Shui is a famous super organization in Millennium Academy. They also have troops.

From the professor's eyes, Wang Shui read the care for the students and a small show of kindness, which was respect for the surname "Russell".

This was the first time Wang Shui used the passive ability of [Legilimency] in the real world. He could clearly sense it, but the professor was not aware of it.

Regarding the professor's kindness, Wang Shui naturally responded immediately:

"Whether I join your laboratory or join the seniors' club, I am very happy. However, I have many study plans and may not be able to bring much help to you."

Wang Shui agreed, but he also made it clear - I will take the benefits and accept the favors, but don't think about asking me to do any work!

"Hahaha, there is no need to have such worries. The research groups here generally rarely add people midway. Everyone will find all the people during the preparation stage. You should worry about whether you can join other people's research groups.

I had promised in advance that even I would not be able to fill the research team with people. "

For a moment, the atmosphere in the car became relaxed and happy.

This seemingly prim and serious Professor Enfield was a bit more sociable than Wang Shui expected.

However, Wang Shui also asked a lingering question in his mind:

"Professor, you just asked me to join the [Array Machine] Club. In addition to resource issues, there are also safety considerations? Are there dangers in the inner city and the college area?"

The professor's expression also returned to seriousness:

"I was almost negligent if you didn't mention it. According to the records of [Artificial Spiritual Hub Jutus], Mr. Benjamin...it seems you didn't bring a bodyguard with you?"

Ah, Wang Shui really couldn't say anything at the moment.

"Servant Witte" also mentioned before that due to Wang Shui's status as an awakened person, it was inconvenient for the family to arrange bodyguards, so a special reimbursement item was opened for Shui Wang.

This special reimbursement item is a subsidy for Wang Shui to hire his own bodyguards. Currently, he is under a contract with the [Silver Bullet Detective Agency], earning free wages and a 91-cent bill.

Although Wang Shui is active on the war planet, he always stays at the rear. In fact, he is not particularly dangerous, and Wang Shui's current escape ability is definitely higher than his apparent third-order critical state.

"There are still bodyguards, but they didn't follow immediately. Why, is the inner city really dangerous? This place is clearly said to be some kind of health resort?"

The professor smiled and shook his head and said:

"It's hard for me to explain clearly the extent of this danger. At least for wealthy people, there is no danger if they are prepared.

Due to the strict management of the inner city, most of the problems were left to the middle city and outer city.

Ability god forces, turbid abyss forces, disaster creatures, negative energy embodiments, as well as some cults that are not endorsed by gods and only rely on forbidden knowledge and forbidden drugs.

There are countless others, all piled outside the crystal dome. As long as you don't leave the dome, the danger will be much less.

As for the outside world, the [City Council] doesn't care... No, they will also send armed forces to purge, but the people in the inner city are accustomed to calling this kind of "purge" - [Hunting Party].

You can check [Hunting Club], oh no, forget it, just pretend I didn’t say it, it’s best to stay away from those scum.

All in all, the inner city is indeed much safer, but the infiltration of violence and chaos is inevitable.

Outside the dome is a huge fermentation tank with billions of people. The most powerful dangerous factors among them will always have some impact on the inner city.

In the inner city, there are either small fights or life-threatening things, so bodyguards are indispensable, and it is best to have bodyguards of level three or above with comprehensive abilities. "

While Wang Shui quietly listened to the locals' advice, he searched for [Hunting Club], and then quickly closed the screen with a solemn expression.

He couldn't use bloody or other words to describe the event records on the club's homepage. He just felt that simply using the word "pervert" was a bit too light.

Wang Shui frowned slowly and muttered in a low voice:

"Does this deserve to be called a civilized world?"

Hey hey hey, I'm back!

Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time. In fact, I haven't finished moving yet, but now I have saved the manuscript and can guarantee stable updates. At least it will not be affected during the Chinese New Year.
