16 The Freak Dormitory (2/2)

After ten minutes, Mo Wen and Shen Jing walked out of the administration building. The admission procedures were basically settled. His admission was last minute and his name wasn't in the system before this, but since Professor Pan had informed the department earlier, everything went smoothly. Even the administration director had personally made an enquiry into the matter.

”Mo Wen, the living quarters are a little far from the faculty district. If you walk along this road, you should reach it in about half an hour. You can take the Route 302 bus there too. You need to register at the warden's office first. Then, you will receive some daily necessities for free and they will assign you to your room.”

”Remember now. I'm not bringing you there. Don't take a wrong turn.”

Shen Jing was mumbling the whole way, instructing him on things related to admission. After they exited the administration building, she hurried in another direction.

Mo Wen touched his chin. Holding his enrollment certificate in one hand, he walked along the direction pointed by Shen Jing.

Hua Xia University was huge. Mo Wen had no clue exactly how big it was. As far as he knew, its area was around one-fifth the size of a county. It was divided into many campuses; the total number of students was around 70,000 to 80,000 people, gathering almost one-tenth of the population of the top students from around the country. Calling Hua Xia University the No.1 University was not exaggerating at all.

It was said that the living quarters were located at the center of Hua Xia University. All of the main campuses were distributed in the surrounding areas. Between the campuses, the living quarters would be closest to them unless they were closest to each other.

But even so, walking from the nearest campus to the living quarters would take twenty minutes. Based on this, one could see the enormity of Hua Xia University. It could be called a city within a city.

There were on-campus shuttles in the university, specially for transporting the teachers and the students. The shuttle routes were all within Hua Xia University, going to and fro among the faculty district, living quarters, research area, administration area, the university's subsidiary companies and other related industrial districts.

Mo Wen didn't take the on-campus shuttle. Instead he strode along a small path. He was used to familiarizing himself with a new environment when in a new place.

Walking for about half an hour, the space in the front suddenly widened up. Blocks and blocks of eight story high residential buildings were neatly arranged, like a set of well-organized mahjong tiles. At a glance, he couldn't even see the end; there were at least a hundred blocks. Hua Xia University only had one dormitory area; basically all the students lived here. Of course, there were some exceptions as to where the students lived off-campus.

The warden's office was not hard to find. Once he set foot into the living quarters, a five story high building appeared in front of him and the warden's office sign was hanging on it.

As soon as Mo Wen entered the main hall, he could see many students lining up in front of an eye-catching counter, carrying their luggage. It seemed to be the registration counter of the warden's office.

The registration proceeded quite fast. Very soon, it was Mo Wen's turn. He put his enrollment certificate and other related certificates on the countertop, waiting for the warden in his thirties to register and arrange his accomodation.

”Hmm? Isn't that brat the person Miss Shen Jing was waiting for?”

”It is. Ms. Shen Jing waited for him for an hour. Who is he exactly?”

”That d*mn brat, we meet again.”

...

A messy chatter suddenly echoed from behind. A few seniors were bringing a group of freshmen into the warden's office. A few of them could recognize Mo Wen at a glance. He was the guy whom the goddess teacher waited an hour for.

The discussion at the back caught the attention of some people in front. Some students seemed to know Shen Jing too; immediately all of them stared at Mo Wen with funny gazes. It went without saying there was animosity in their gazes.

The warden, who had his head lowered while helping with registration, paused. Then he casually raised his head to take a glance at Mo Wen.

For some unknown reasons, Mo Wen felt that the warden's gaze was a little gloomy, and seemingly unfriendly towards him. He raised his eyebrow and calmly shot a glance at the warden, but the warden had lowered his head and continued to do the registration already.

”Okay. Go take your necessities there. Your dormitory is A-16-805. Don't go to the wrong place.”

The warden lifted his head and spoke to Mo Wen flatly.

Upon hearing his words, Mo Wen retrieved his enrollment certificate and left the counter. He kept feeling that something was wrong with the warden's gaze, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

The tuition fee of Hua Xia University was free. The school gave out some basic necessities for free too. The students only had to pay for their meals. So when coming to enroll at Hua Xia University, one would only need to bring simple luggage; the rest of the things could be omitted. This had greatly disencumbered the students coming from all around the country.

The necessities were very simple too: a basin, a bucket, a comforter, a mattress…

After Mo Wen had received the necessities, he left the warden's office.

As soon as he left, some seniors gathered and started discussing. They seemed to be gloating.

”That fella named Mo Wen is in for some bad luck. The warden is mean. I can't believe he sent him to dormitory A-16-805.”

”Hehe, that's the freak dormitory of the university. Only a freak can live there.”

”Exactly. It is said that not long ago a student moved into that dormitory and he went insane the next day. I heard that he was hospitalized for two months. The psychiatrists treated him daily for two months before he could recover.”

That warden who was working with his head lowered suddenly raised his head again. Staring at Mo Wen's back, he cracked a creepy smile.
