"Awakening level copy, Gaocai Middle School."
There is a huge stone tablet next to the school gate. The blood-red afterglow of the setting sun reflects the four large red lacquer characters on the stone tablet.
Five men and women of different ages and genders stood in front of this stone monument.
A young man with grandma's gray hair put his hands in his pockets, stared at the stone tablet, and slowly read out the name of this strange story.
After speaking, he lowered his eyelids, moved his cheeks a few times, chewed the gum in his mouth, and spit out a bubble.
Standing next to him was a tall woman with long, straight black hair and a mask on her face.
Her voice was muffled by the mask, a little low and hoarse.
"Gaicai Middle School was completely cleared by the 'decryptor' in January this year."
"All the rules about this dungeon and the correct way to pass the level have been disclosed on the forum. Who is still unclear? You can raise it now."
A man in his thirties or forties slowly raised his hand.
He looked very thin, his skin was dark and yellow due to exposure to wind and sun all year round, his hands were rough, and there were many chapped wounds.
When he spoke, he spoke non-standard Mandarin with a strong local accent.
"I, I...I know, I've seen it...but I can't remember it."
The man rubbed his hands awkwardly.
Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he was not of the same class as the men and women around him. He was probably a migrant worker on a construction site or the like.
The long, straight black woman did not look down on him, but said calmly: "Follow us closely, and I will remind you at any time."
The other two people,
One is a thirty-year-old woman wearing black-rimmed glasses who looks a bit old-fashioned.
The other is a tall, muscular young man in his twenties with a muscular body.
Five people stood at the school gate without having time to exchange a few words.
A head popped out from the security booth and shouted at the five people:
"Students, hurry up and enter the school, otherwise it will be closed!"
I couldn't help but whisper,
"These students, one by one, run harder than anyone else during the holidays. Going to school is like killing them. They are just dragging their feet."
After hearing what the security guard said, the five people hurriedly walked to the school.
The gray boy walked to the window of the security room at the school gate and suddenly stopped.
He turned around and grabbed the arm of the migrant worker following him.
The migrant workers looked at him blankly.
I saw Grandma Gray's young man reaching out and very skillfully taking out a pack of cigarettes from the migrant worker's worn pocket.
Looking down at the cigarette brand, the young man handed the pack of cigarettes to the security guard in the guard room.
"Security uncle, what day is today? Hey, this holiday has made me a little dizzy."
The security guard took the cigarette from the gray boy from Grandma. Although he was reproachful, his expression was much kinder.
"You come to school with a cigarette? You don't study hard, but you have learned a lot about smoking and drinking - today is September 10th."
"Hey, does anyone else have contraband on them? Leave it here and don't bring it in. The dean will find it and give you all a demerit."
The security guard clicked on his desk.
Several people took out their mobile phones and other electronic products and placed them on the table in the security room.
The gray boy looked at the security guard with a smile, "Uncle security guard, will you return it to us?"
The security guard chuckled, "You still don't believe me? When you leave school, just come to me to get it."
"Thank you, uncle."
The gray boy's gaze swept across the row of shelves behind the security guard.
On the shelves, there are all kinds of mobile phones, tablets, MP3 players...
"By the way, uncle, my phone turned off after not being charged for two days. I'm afraid it will run out of battery when I get home for the holidays. Uncle, please charge it for me."
As she said this, the gray boy curled his lips unhappily and complained softly,
"I don't know how many days the school will be in session this time, and when will the school be closed?"
"You students are not active in going to school and are only thinking about the holidays!"
The security guard had already taken out a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it, held it between his fingers, took a puff, and puffed out the smoke.
"Come on, your course schedule this time is short. We have a holiday on September 25th."
After hearing this, Grandma Gray showed a bright smile: "Thank you, uncle."
After chatting with the security guard, the gray boy pulled the migrant worker and quickly entered the school.
The five people walked and talked.
"The rules for clearing this Kaidan have been made public a long time ago." Granny Gray Boy said while chewing gum, "We only need to leave Kasai Middle School on the day when students are on holiday, and then we can leave Kaidan."
The migrant workers were a little panicked and couldn't help but ask: "Then we have to stay in this hellish place for fifteen days?"
"That's right." The long, straight black woman adjusted her mask and said in a cold voice, "But we are lucky. At least the school time is not October."
The migrant workers were puzzled: “October?”
The long, straight black woman said: "There will be a sports meeting in the school in October. By then, the difficulty of this weird story will be more than twice as high."
Just when a few people were talking.
A young man in a white coat walked out of the infirmary with a teacup in his hand, leaning leisurely on the railing on the second floor to take a nap.
He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his straight nose, and his gaze fell on the few people who had just entered the school through the lenses.
An unpredictable and secret smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Several students passed through the corridor.
When passing by the young man, they all lowered their heads and subconsciously walked even lighter.
The students greeted the new school nurse politely.
"Hello, Teacher Jiang."
They didn't dare to leave until the young man nodded slightly.
"Oh, the new working environment is better."
The young man watched the students leave, picked up the tea in his hand, and took a sip with a lazy and comfortable expression.
"As expected of educated students, they are much more polite than the villagers who have never studied."
If I had known that he would not choose such a remote village from the beginning, it would be great to come to the school to be the school doctor.
While Hei Changzhi, Nainai Hui and others were talking, a young female teacher walked towards them with a banner in her hand.
"What are you guys doing standing here? If you have nothing to do, help me hang this banner at the school gate."
One of the school rules of Gaocai Middle School: students are not allowed to contradict the teacher and must complete the tasks assigned by the teacher on time.
I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the school, I would be given a task.
The gray boy had no choice but to be extremely careful, and together with Hei Changzhi, under the supervision of the female teacher, he carefully hung the banner on the stone monument at the school gate.
On the unfolded banner, there was a line of large characters in gold stamping——
Warmly welcome industrialist Ms. Wang to visit our school!
