Chapter 48 Dormitory
"Chen Hongzhi!"
"Alright, then we'll go with your suggestion. Chen Hongzhi, you'll be the vice class monitor of our Class 12."
Xu Ruian didn't care about this and immediately called Chen Hong forward.
"Huh? Me?"
Chen Hongzhi pointed to himself, his face full of disbelief, but the next second he became excited.
Good brother, this is Chen Hongzhi's true good brother.
Earning an extra 400 credits every month is an opportunity that many people can't earn through hard work.
"Alright, Master, I'm coming."
The students looked at Chen Hongzhi. This guy had a lively personality. If he changed his clothes into fur, you wouldn't be able to tell if he was a human or a monkey in the wild.
Moreover, Chen Hongzhi's name was widely known from his previous treasure hunt in the foggy area.
Seeing Chen Hongzhi's appearance now, and considering Lu Lin's fighting prowess, it's no surprise that Lu Lin deliberately used Chen Hongzhi's name to defeat his opponent in order to make Chen Hongzhi famous.
Someone in the group just heard Lu Lin call Chen Hongming and Chen Hongzhi "Young Master," so everything makes sense now.
"Chen Hongzhi, you will be the vice class monitor of our Class 12 from now on. I hope you can work with Lu Lin to help your classmates."
"Rest assured, Master, I understand."
"Well then, let's take some people to the front to move the books. Our Mozhu Academy not only trains your martial arts skills, but also has requirements for your academic courses."
"yes!"
Chen Hongzhi agreed and pulled Chen Hongming and a few familiar classmates to move the books.
They were all martial artists; moving some books wasn't even a warm-up for them.
But when all the books that had been moved were put together, the students in Class 12 were in an uproar!
"Huh?! So many! Did you bring books from other classes over as well?"
"I knew that big monkey was unreliable. Even if the Mozhu Academy is going to teach cultural courses, they don't need so many books."
"Let me take a look first. 'On Zheng,' 'Qi Zhongshu Zi,' 'Bai Lanting Anthology,' and 'Twelve Confucian Scholars' Commentary on the Thousand Character Classic.' Are we going to take the imperial examination to become a scholar?"
"What are you talking about? I've never heard of any of this before."
Lu Lin was secretly amazed when he saw the huge stack of books.
No two books were duplicated. Lu Lin and Chen Hongzhi distributed the books together. The twenty-seven books stacked together were as thick as an arm.
"Next, I'll distribute the dorm rooms to everyone. Here are sixty-four keys, including single rooms, double rooms, four-person rooms, and eight-person rooms."
"The rooms are all the same size, only the beds are different. After you've chosen, you can exchange with other students or decide who gets to stay through a competition."
"However, I suggest that our classmates coordinate and communicate internally first, so that we can pool our efforts to snatch good dorm rooms from other classes."
Upon hearing Xu Ruian's words, the students instantly became enthusiastic.
It's really hurtful to fight with your own people over something, especially since you'll be spending three years together.
But if we could unite as one and point our way outwards, that would be wonderful.
While the students were discussing, Xu Ruian gave Lu Lin a hint about thirty-three, and Lu Lin nodded to indicate that he understood.
It seems Xu Ruian doesn't need to approve his application; he can just choose dormitory number 33 directly.
The group distributed dormitory keys and went their separate ways.
Lu Lin made an appointment with everyone to return to the classroom within an hour after visiting the dormitory, and then conduct some internal coordination.
Lu Lin arrived at his dormitory quite early, and there were few students around.
This is a detached courtyard house with five rooms.
All the rooms are the same size.
The outhouse and well were for public use.
The room is quite spacious, at least thirty square meters. Lu Lin can buy a small bed and add some furniture and bedding, and then he can live with Shi Tou.
After looking around his room, Lu Lin locked the door and went for a walk in the neighborhood.
This area should be the dormitory area for the academy's teachers and janitors, because Lu Lin saw that many families had clothes hanging out to dry, and he could occasionally hear children playing.
"Now that Stone has arrived, there's no need to worry about not having playmates anymore."
"But this little guy is strange. He's lived at Aunt Xu's house for so long, but I haven't heard of him making any friends."
Lu Lin left the dormitory area and returned to the classroom.
The classroom was bustling with activity.
Everyone was talking about their respective dorm rooms.
Some people are very satisfied with living in four-person or eight-person rooms.
Those with some skill are more willing to try for better rooms.
After everyone returned, Lu Lin and Chen Hongzhi tallied up the numbers and found that three people wanted to stay in single rooms: Fang Heng, Lü Mo, and Jiang Yao.
There are eight people who want to stay in double rooms.
After internal communication, it was finally determined that they would need three single rooms and three double rooms.
This means we have no choice but to look to external sources.
Lu Lin led everyone to the dormitory area with double rooms first.
We're all classmates, and we all want to live closer together so that if we have a conflict with another class, someone can come to our aid immediately.
Surrounded by Lu Lin and his group, the three students in double rooms who had been challenged naturally didn't dare to say anything, didn't even move their hands, and obediently took the keys they had obtained and left.
A single room would be more troublesome.
There are a total of fifty single rooms, which means that on average, each class would only have three, or even fewer.
That means we have to fight for it.
The teachers in each class also told their students that living in a single room would mean accepting more challenges.
In this situation, anyone who dares to take the key to a single room is definitely not an ordinary person.
Lu Lin and his group had the advantage in numbers, and the other side was not afraid. In the end, the true strength of the two sides was revealed through their own strength.
Fang Heng and Lü Mo both defeated their respective opponents.
When it was Jiang Yao's turn, the situation became somewhat difficult.
He selected a top seed player; the two were evenly matched, with Jiang Yao being slightly inferior.
Seeing that the situation was starting to turn against them, Lu Lin asked Chen Hongzhi to think of a solution.
"Go for it! Go for it!"
Chen Hongzhi led the whole class in cheering for Jiang Yao, which startled the students on the other side. Jiang Yao seized the opportunity and quickly ended the battle.
At this point, all the dormitories for Class 12 students have been assigned.
There are four single rooms, six double rooms, four four-person rooms, and four eight-person rooms. Moreover, these dormitories are all located close to each other, mostly in a small courtyard or a nearby courtyard.
Today we were divided into classes, elected class monitors, arranged our dormitories, and received our books. The academy told everyone to go home early to pack their things and return to the academy to sleep at 22 PM.
Time was of the essence, so Lu Lin and Chen Hongzhi quickly left.
Lu Lin divided the silver notes among them, one hundred taels each, which was enough to buy some furniture, bedding, and training clothes.
The two brothers are now unable to return home and can only rely on Lu Lin for food and other necessities.
Lu Lin didn't care about such a small thing.
Lu Lin went to Aunt Xu's house to pick up Shi Tou.
Seeing Lu Lin finally return, Shi Tou's tears streamed down his face.
Lu Lin comforted Shi Tou for a long time before taking him to talk to Aunt Xu.
When Aunt Xu heard that Lu Lin had joined the Mozhu Academy, she kept praising him for his promising future, saying that Shi Tou would have someone to rely on in the future.
When they parted, both Shi Tou and Aunt Xu were very reluctant to leave, and tears streamed down their faces.
"Brother, you must bring me to see Aunt Xu when the academy is on holiday."
"no problem."
