Chapter 63: Special Privileges for Foreign Students at Jiangcheng University?!

TL: Yang

Compared to other universities, Jiangcheng University didn’t host many foreign students. The ones from Island Nation and Stick Nation were acceptable enough, but—

These white and black-skinned students tended to form tightly-knit groups, keeping to their own circles within the campus.

Chen Bai had never interacted much with them. In his last life, he had fled Jiangcheng University early on, not staying in this crisis-ridden campus for long.

Looking back now, it seemed he’d missed quite a lot by leaving so soon!

He was never one to believe in some grand, harmonious utopia.

Like many, Chen Bai preferred to trust an old saying passed down by his ancestors: “Those who are not of our kin are bound to think differently.”

And now, it appeared that this saying was proving true.

He knocked on the door loudly, the sound so distinct it even drew the attention of zombies who had initially wandered away.

As expected, his knocking abruptly silenced the noises coming from inside the gymnasium.

The noisy clamor was immediately interrupted by the sound from outside, plunging the gym into an intense quiet.

Chen Bai’s lips curled into a smirk, though he put on an expression of panicked desperation:

“Is anyone there?! If someone’s inside, could you please let me in?”

“I’m human! I’m not one of those monsters outside!”

“Fuck! How do we know if he’s been scratched? If he’s been injured, who’s going to take responsibility and kill him later?!”

“Bullshit! He’s one of our classmates! Do you guys even have a conscience?!”

“Shit! Who’s your classmate? You yellow monkeys are the reason the food supply in the gym is running out so fast. You should be the ones going to the convenience stores to bring back supplies!”

The argument seemed like it was about to start up again!

But then, Chen Bai’s voice came from outside once more:

“It’s me, Chen Bai! I heard people inside. Hurry up, someone, please open the door! There are monsters everywhere out here!”

“Chen Bai! It’s Chen Bai?!”

“Jiangcheng’s ‘King of Looks’?! Quick, quick, quick…”

This time, it wasn’t only the guys inside who perked up; the famously handsome Chen Bai was indeed well-known.

After all, being pursued for two years by the renowned campus belle, Song Ziqiong, and still not accepting her—this tale alone had practically made him a campus legend.

Even the black and white-skinned students who had initially opposed letting him in exchanged glances, a sly gleam in their eyes. They no longer tried to block the entrance.

The gymnasium doors opened, and as soon as Chen Bai stepped inside, they were shut again.

He glanced around and quickly took stock. There were roughly a few dozen people inside the gym.

Among them were over ten male foreign students, more than twenty local students, and the rest were female students, both local and international.

“Wow, Chen, you’re alright—that’s amazing!”

A blonde, blue-eyed foreign girl dressed provocatively exclaimed in an exaggerated tone.

Chen Bai glanced at her. She was leaning into a burly white guy who seemed to be the leader of the group. His large hand was still wrapped around the foreign girl’s waist, casually wandering over her body even in this setting.

Noticing Chen Bai’s gaze, the foreign guy gave him a challenging look.

Chen Bai tried to remember—wasn’t this guy part of the basketball team? Some William…something?

This foreign girl had tried to flirt with him in the past too, hadn’t she? What was her name again?

The layering of decades of memories made it hard for him to recall such insignificant details.

Before he could think further, the other students had already surrounded him:

“Chen Bai, what’s the situation like outside?!”

“Yeah, and what about this whole ‘talent awakening’ thing? Could it really be the end of the world?!”

With just a few words, Chen Bai figured out these people’s situation clearly.

The gym had an infirmary, and some students who had been exercising late had opted to stay there for the night instead of going back to their dorms.

Among this group of people, some had stayed over in the gym, while others had rushed in afterward.

Of course, there had been zombies in the gym too, but university students were generally quick to adapt to new situations.

They had taken whatever equipment they could and dealt with their zombified peers right away.

And that’s how things ended up in the state Chen Bai saw now.

However, before he could say anything else, a voice with a thick accent and a hostile tone piped up from one of the more standoffish members:

“You all, keep your distance from him. We still don’t know if he’s infected! If he’s infected and he scratches you, you’ll end up like those yellow-skinned monkey zombies!”

Chen Bai’s brows furrowed slowly, a cold glint flickering in his eyes.

However, a trace of a smile appeared on Chen Bai’s face as he looked at the foreign students standing there with their arms crossed, sneering at him.

“What do you think you’re doing?”

“Fuck, this arrogant yellow-skinned monkey! I heard that the hottest chick at Jiangcheng University chased after you and got rejected. What’s the deal, you little yellow pretty-boy—don’t tell me you actually like men?”

“Take off all your clothes and let us inspect you to make sure you haven’t been scratched by one of those monsters!” William’s voice sparked a gleam in the eyes of the foreign students.

“Woo! Woo! Woo!”

Cheers erupted, as though they were celebrating something.

Not only were the foreign students riled up, but a few of the female students blushed, visibly excited as well. The idea of seeing Chen Bai, the so-called “King of Looks” at Jiangcheng University, naked—even if only in their dreams—would make for perfect memories.

At that moment, some of the more excitable students even clenched their thighs in anticipation.

But Chen Bai’s eyes had turned ice-cold.

In both his past and present lives, not even the Dark Mother Goddess had humiliated him in such a way!

Though he’d formed a contract with the Dark Mother Goddess, as her representative in the God and Devil Trial Grounds, theirs was a relationship of mutual reliance, albeit an unequal one.

Through his association with the Dark Mother Goddess, even countless powerful emperors in his past life had shown him due respect.

After all, his strength was nothing to scoff at!

And now, here—someone dared to demand that he strip for inspection?!

Looking at the smirking black-skinned students, Chen Bai immediately understood their intentions.

“And since you were able to get here on your own, you must have some skills. Our food and water are running low, and the convenience store is only three streets away. You can take your little gang and bring back supplies for us! If you do, we might let you all stay in the gym for shelter.”

“Why should I?”

“Fuck! Because we’re foreign students! Here at Jiangcheng University, and all over your Dragon Nation, we have special privileges! You yellow monkeys should just do as you’re told!”

Facing their smug expressions, Chen Bai’s smile deepened.

“Good! If you had been too polite, I might have felt a bit bad. But this—this is just how I like it.”

“What? Have you lost your mind to the zombies out there…?”

But before the sentence could even be completed—

A pitch-black claw suddenly swept across, slicing clean through the head of the one still arrogantly giving orders.

In an instant, a torrent of blood gushed out, and the entire gym fell into dead silence, as if even a pin drop would be deafening.
