It made sense, though. The instructor’s position wasn't particularly high-ranking, so being at the Nascent Soul mid-stage was quite normal. Moreover, this instructor didn't look much older than Zhou Hong himself.
“Instructor Lu, how old are you? You don’t look much older than me, yet you’ve already reached the Nascent Soul mid-stage,” Zhou Hong asked again.
“A lady never reveals her age. Go find your dorm now.”
“Okay.” Zhou Hong chuckled and asked no further questions. He immediately took his card and went to find his dormitory.
Soon, Zhou Hong found his dorm.
When Zhou Hong entered the dorm, there were already four people inside. Su Dan Novel Network.
“Hello everyone!” Zhou Hong greeted them.
“Hello, you must be Zhou Hong,” one of them asked, looking at Zhou Hong.
“Yes, how did you know?”
“This dorm is for four people, with each person having their own room. The three of us have arrived, and the last one, named Zhou Hong, hasn’t shown up yet. So, it must be you.”
“Haha, allow me to introduce myself, I’m Zhou Hong. What about you guys?” Zhou Hong enthusiastically entered the dorm. The dorm had four doors, and each door opened into a separate room, almost like a suite.
“I’m Liao Yong, Integration mid-stage.”
“I’m Liu Zhen En, Integration mid-stage.”
“I’m Bai Long, Integration mid-stage.”
Zhou Hong nodded, surprised that all three of his roommates were at the Integration mid-stage.
“It’s an honor to be your roommate. I hope you’ll all look out for me for the next thirty years.”
“Brother Zhou Hong, you’re too kind. It should be us looking out for you. You’re the top genius of Class 30 in our freshman year. I heard you hunted 400 demonic beasts during the second assessment. You’re truly a hidden dragon, a crouching tiger.”
Zhou Hong smiled, “That was just luck. Oh right, you guys are also in Class 30?”
“Of course. We’re in the same class, so we’re assigned to the same dorm.”
“That makes sense.” Zhou Hong smiled, suddenly reminded of his university days on Earth. He realized that the Taigu Academy had some similarities to universities on Earth. But, he had to admit, the dorms here completely blew university dorms out of the water.
Zhou Hong went to his room. The bed and bedding were already prepared, and they were all new. Moreover, there was a private bathing facility, which, while different from a bathroom on Earth, was quite similar.
Zhou Hong locked his room door from the inside, sat on the bed for a moment, and then disappeared.
Zhou Hong instantly entered the Pocket World.
“Zhou Hong, what’s happening outside? Why do you have time to come in?” Qiao Xiaoyu, the first person Zhou Hong saw upon entering the Pocket World, rushed forward.
They hadn’t seen each other much since Zhou Hong returned to the Purple Heaven Continent, and Zhou Hong only entered the Pocket World occasionally.
“Xiaoyu, what have you been busy with?” Zhou Hong pulled Qiao Xiaoyu into his arms and asked with a smile.
“What else? I’ve been cultivating and helping you build the new world. Everyone else isn’t here. By the way, what’s the situation outside now? Did you get into Taigu Academy?” Qiao Xiaoyu asked curiously.
“Of course. I’ve already entered Taigu Academy and am in my assigned dorm, in my single room right now.”
“Wow, I wonder what the outside world is like,” Qiao Xiaoyu said, full of curiosity.
“I’m sorry, Xiaoyu. After bringing you all to this world, I haven’t let you go out. How about this, I’ll take you out to see my new dorm.”
“Really? Will your roommates find out?”
“Haha, I’ve already locked the door.”
Zhou Hong finished speaking and instantly brought Qiao Xiaoyu out of the Pocket World, appearing in the Taigu Academy dorm.
Qiao Xiaoyu curiously looked around at everything in the room, feeling as if Zhou Hong had just arrived on Earth for the first time.
“What is this thing?” Qiao Xiaoyu pointed at a round object and asked.
“It has a lid. You open it, sit on it, and defecate into it. The waste will instantly vanish.”
“Ah? A toilet?”
“Yes, its function is similar to a toilet on Earth.”
“Wow, so the toilets in your world are like this? You don’t need to flush them?”
“No need. After you go, it vanishes instantly.”
“What’s the principle behind this?” Qiao Xiaoyu seemed puzzled. She looked into the toilet bowl; it was dark and seemed unfathomably deep.
“It’s hard to explain, and there’s no need to explore it. These daily necessities are produced by some major families in this world. They are very cheap and not advanced items. You can consider it a very low-level life artifact.”
“Oh, oh. What about this?” Qiao Xiaoyu pointed at something above their heads, suspended there like lotus petals.
“Press the button next to it.”
Qiao Xiaoyu pressed it, and suddenly, it started raining from above.
“Ah.” Qiao Xiaoyu couldn’t help but let out a scream.
“Hahaha, see? Isn’t this just like a shower head on Earth? That’s right, it’s for bathing.”
“Where does the water come from? I don’t see any connected pipes,” Qiao Xiaoyu asked doubtfully.
“It doesn’t need a pipe. It already stores enough water for you to use for 100 years.”
“It stores so much water. Won’t it go bad?”
“No.”
“It really is more advanced,” Qiao Xiaoyu exclaimed in admiration.
“By the way, Zhou Hong, I screamed just now. Your roommates outside won’t hear it, will they? If they hear a woman’s voice coming from your room for no reason, they’ll definitely get suspicious.”
Zhou Hong chuckled, pulled Qiao Xiaoyu into his embrace, and said, “Even if you scream your lungs out, they won’t hear you.”
“Why?”
“I’ve already used the isolation function of the Pocket World to block out the sound.”
“Oh, oh. That’s good.”
“Xiaoyu, it’s been a long time since we’ve had a private conversation,” Zhou Hong sighed.
“Yes, ever since you returned to your world, we’ve hardly seen each other. Even when you occasionally enter the Pocket World, there are so many people around that we never get a chance to talk alone.”
Zhou Hong said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I don’t know if meeting me was lucky or unlucky for you. If you hadn’t met me, you could have found a man on Earth who would have stayed with you for a lifetime, had children with you, and lived a happy life, even if it was short.”
“Why think so much? Your goal now is to cultivate diligently, fulfill your promise to the 4 billion people on Earth, lead them to the legendary immortal realm, and even achieve eternal life.”
“Of course, I will definitely achieve it.”
“Then take me back.”
Zhou Hong shook his head. “Since you’re out, and you’re in the room, it won’t do to just go back like this. Go take a bath.”
“What are you going to do?” Qiao Xiaoyu’s face flushed slightly.
“What do you think? Of course, I’m going to have a little private treat.”
“You’re so naughty.” Qiao Xiaoyu’s face turned completely red, but her body obediently walked into the bathroom.
