Whims of Celestial Fate

Dormitory Wonders

5:47 PM, Room 404, Jiangcheng University Male Dormitory

Lin Xiaofan pushed the bowl of braised beef noodle soup to the mechanical keyboard, and the oil stains blurred a yellow spot on the webpage of the latest chapter of "Mortal Cultivation". Chen Hao leaned out of the upper bunk, and the game handle in his hand crackled: "Old Lin, I'm stuck in Genshin Impact because of the smell of instant noodles!" Before he finished speaking, Wang Dahui came out of the toilet with a 20kg dumbbell. Sweat beads on his biceps swung to Lin Xiaofan's display, reflecting the rainbow halo of the words "Han Li Jie Dan".

At this moment, a WeChat message popped up: "Clearance of old book stalls in the back street, 10 yuan and 3 pounds!" Lin Xiaofan grabbed his coat and rushed out, his left foot flip flops and right foot hole shoes making the garbage collector in the stairwell roll her eyes. The snake skin bag filled with beverage bottles in Auntie's hand suddenly burst, and three Coca Cola cans rolled towards the fire hydrant, clinking the tune of "Blue and White Porcelain" on the metal surface.

Adventure at the Old Book Stall

The strange aroma of grilled cold noodles and moldy old books wafted through the back streets in the twilight. The owner of the stall was throwing a stack of "Five Year College Entrance Examination Three Year Simulation" onto the tricycle, when a postcard of "1987 Alumni as a souvenir" suddenly appeared on the yellowed pages of the book. When Lin Xiaofan crouched down to search, an ancient book with an indigo cover suddenly slipped off. The hot stamping seal script "Tai Xu Yin Qi Jue" flashed with a faint light under the setting sun, and a blue ballpoint pen was used to mark the vermilion talisman on the inner page: "It is recommended to enhance cultivation with WIFI signal, and mobile 5G is better. Note: Unicom users please bring your own lightning strike wood.

Young man, you know how to read! "The vendor was picking tea leaves from between his nails." Last week, a boy wearing a cheongsam also wanted to buy this book, and I said it had already been reserved... "Before he could finish speaking, sparks suddenly burst from the iron plate of the neighboring cold noodle stall. The owner's wife who was brushing the sauce shook her hand, and the sweet noodle sauce drew lightning patterns on the iron plate.

After scanning the code and paying five yuan, Lin Xiaofan's phone suddenly went black for three seconds. The lock screen wallpaper turns into a rotating Taiji Bagua diagram, and the status bar displays "4G signal full grid but unable to connect to the internet". Even more eerie is the addition of an old black and white photo in the album: in the 404 dormitory of the 1990s, six students wearing regular shirts gathered around a snowflake screen TV to practice swordsmanship.

Dormitory Immortal Cultivation Initial Experience

Lao Lin, why are you hanging a dream catcher by the bedside? "Chen Hao laughed wildly as he watched Lin Xiaofan form a gossip circle with a clothes rack, and the game character" Xiao "fell off the Liyue Harbor cliff with a single step. Lin Xiaofan ignored him and followed the "Modern Cultivation Adaptation Plan" on page three of the ancient book, using a highlighter to draw a talisman array on the floor. Wang Dahui, who was squatting in front of the bed with a dumbbell, passed by when his sports wristband suddenly sounded an alarm: "My heart rate has exceeded 200! I suggest stopping pretending immediately.

At eleven o'clock in the night, Chen Hao applied a facial mask to brush t****k, and suddenly found that Lin Xiaofan was exuding blue light under his bed. He lifted the fallen bedsheet and saw Lin Xiaofan using a power bank to supply power to ancient books, with a half broken peach wood sword inserted into the USB port. Just before roast, Wang Dahui's protein powder jar suddenly vibrated, and the logo of "Zengji MAX" on the lid was twisted into a seal character of "Zhuji Dayuanman".

At two o'clock in the morning, amidst the symphony of snoring and grinding teeth, Lin Xiaofan sat cross legged on a yoga mat. The "Zi Shi Qi Hai Sheng" on page 9 of the ancient book was changed into a "Guide to staying up late to cultivate immortals" by him with a post it note. Suddenly, a small current ran through his abdomen - the indicator light of the power bank flashed crazily, and the reverse power transmission was sent to Chen Hao's facial mask instrument, and the volcanic mud facial mask was baked into a turtle c***k pottery figurine.

Ding! ‌

The laptop automatically starts up, and a faint blue pop-up window appears above the scanned copy of "Tai Xu Qi Yin Jue": "Detected spiritual energy fluctuations, are you connected to the 5G spiritual network?" The confirm button turns out to be a Taoist decree symbol, while the cancel button reads "One more chapter of the novel".

Spiritual power manifestation event

The router has become sophisticated! "Chen Hao's scream the next morning startled sparrows outside the window. The WiFi strength of the 404 dormitory, which has always had the lowest signal, soared to -30dBm. The drone used by Wang Dahui for live streaming rampaged through the room, causing barrage comments that read 'Hammer Brother's dormitory is hiding a military signal tower'. What's even more bizarre is that the jersey hanging on the balcony - Wang Dahui's No. 23 Jordan jersey turned into a Bagua Daoist robe, with the cuffs embroidered with the gold thread of "Jiangcheng University Cultivation Association 1987".

Look at the ceiling! "Chen Hao suddenly took three steps back. The air conditioning vent emitted a bright white light, and when it touched the gossip clothes rack by Lin Xiaofan's bedside, sparks burst out. They landed on Wang Dahui's dumbbell and burned the seal script "Lei". When everyone was busy filming, Su Wanwan's Chanel jacket brushed past the door c***k, and at the moment when the LV floral lock buckled, all the light spots suddenly froze.

Lin Xiaofan scanned the protein powder jar with his mobile phone, and the book 'Tai Xu Yin Qi Jue' automatically turned to page 17. The small words on the red plate flicker: "Junior spirit stone, can be used with a power bank - Annotation from the 1987 alumni". He tried to connect the jar to the power bank, and Chen Hao's facial mask instrument suddenly played the Mantra of Great Compassion, and the facial mask essence condensed into pills in the ultrasonic vibration.

Initial appearance of undercurrent

The level of demon making among this class of freshmen has increased, "said Su Wanwan, the head of the disciplinary inspection department of the student union, as she turned around and walked towards the stairwell. The jade pendant had red marks under her sweater. She unlocked her phone and the memo automatically generated an encrypted entry: 【 Spiritual energy concentration 0.0007%, fluctuation source 404; associated file: 1997 projector chip abnormality event 】. In the screen reflection, the cinnabar mole on her earlobe emitted a strange glow.

Lin Xiaofan was completely unaware of this and was staring blankly at the QR code on the last page of the ancient book. On the 404 page redirected by scanning the code, the blood red seal characters swim like tadpoles:On the day of foundation building, heaven and earth will overturn

Thunder exploded outside the window, and the lights of the entire dormitory building began to flicker in the rhythm of 'The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style'. The audience in Wang Dahui's live broadcast room suddenly surged by 100000, and the barrage was all flashing: "Anchor, run! Your air conditioning unit is emitting purple smoke

At this moment, the entire dormitory floor is restless. Zhang Ming, a top student from the opposite room 405, pushed open the window and aimed his astronomical telescope at the 404 window. In the camera, the gossip clothes hanger hanging by Lin Xiaofan's bedside is absorbing a purple arc, while the socks being dried form the Big Dipper pattern. The owner of the small shop downstairs looked up at the sky and suddenly froze the action of changing bamboo sticks for the sausage oven in her hand - she saw seven glowing QR codes floating outside the 404 balcony, which turned out to be a PDF document of the "Emergency Plan for Crossing Robberies".
