Chapter 522 Choosing a Roommate
Aying pouted, but didn't give up.
She reached for the empty coconut shell, and with a forceful snap, broke it in two.
The coconut meat is white and tender, with a faint milky aroma.
Aying immediately scooped up a piece with a spoon and stuffed it into her mouth, mumbling, "So delicious!"
A-Que snatched a piece and her eyes lit up: "Wow, delicious!"
Su Wan looked at the two girls fighting over the coconut meat and shook her head helplessly:
"Look at you two, so naive and unsophisticated... It's only because you two are like this; if it were anyone else, I would have made them stand outside as punishment!"
Ah Ying, with coconut meat in her mouth, laughed indistinctly:
"Of course, it's only because we're Wan-jie's subordinates that we dare to be so presumptuous."
Su Wan rolled her eyes at her, but couldn't help but smile slightly.
........................
The twilight light slanted in from the west, turning the open space in front of the cafeteria into a dark gold.
The chosen ones gathered in twos and threes on the open ground, forming a loose square formation.
"Here it comes, here it comes."
Someone in the crowd whispered something.
All eyes turned to the entrance of the cafeteria at the same time.
Su Wan walked out of the door, followed by A Ying and A Que.
Su Wan walked to the front of the crowd and stood still.
Her gaze slowly swept over everyone present, and after the room quieted down slightly, her clear voice rang out:
"We are now announcing the accommodation arrangements for the evening."
"The dormitories within the college are uniformly four people per room, and a merit-based allocation system is implemented."
"Those who rank high in today's overall rating will have priority in choosing their roommates."
"Those chosen as roommates have no right to change partners a second time."
Most of the high-rated chosen ones remained calm, or even secretly pleased.
Those who received C or D grade negative reviews panicked instantly, their faces filled with anxiety.
"These rules are outrageous!"
"To put it bluntly, it's favoritism towards the strong! The strong band together, while the weak only drag each other down. Isn't this simply a case of the strong getting stronger and the weak getting weaker?"
"This is completely unfair!"
A chorus of complaints rose and fell.
Su Wan coldly surveyed the restless crowd, her face remaining completely expressionless.
"You feel it's unfair? But this has always been the law of survival in your human world."
"Resources are tilted towards the strong, while the weak depend on the collective for survival."
"This place is merely a microcosm of your human world."
With just a few simple words, everyone was rendered speechless, and the restless crowd gradually quieted down.
"Next, Lin Feng, who ranked first in the overall score, will have the first choice of roommates."
All eyes turned to Lin Feng.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Feng slowly said, "I choose Wasim, Derek, and Nikola."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the three people who had been named.
Needless to say, Wasim is already Lin Feng's old partner.
Derek, a black boxer from the United States, is tall and strong, with dark skin that gleams in the sunset and explosive muscle definition. He also had a great working relationship with Vassim when they played the role of a security guard.
Lin Feng chose him not because he was outstanding, but because he was stable and cooperative.
The moment Lin Feng chose him, he grinned, revealing a set of white teeth: "Thanks, bro!"
Nikolai, who was standing to the side, also slightly raised his eyes.
This Arctic research engineer from the country of Grizzly Bears is around forty years old.
He has been stationed at the desolate and lifeless Arctic station for many years, and the wind and frost have etched deep and shallow lines on his face.
He was slender and tall, with a cold and indifferent expression, and a calmness and rationality far beyond that of ordinary people deep in his eyes.
This afternoon, he completed the role-playing mission without taking any damage, earning an A rating, demonstrating top-notch mental skills and composure.
He, who was usually taciturn, nodded slightly to Lin Feng: "Thank you for your trust. From now on, let's support each other."
At this moment, Aying stepped forward and handed a dormitory key to Lin Feng.
The key is made entirely of old brass, with its edges worn smooth and rounded.
A dark wooden tag with the number 17 written neatly on it in dark red paint hangs from the end of the key.
Next, Evelyn made her choice.
Her gaze swept across the room, and she quickly made her choice.
In addition to Martha, whom she already knew, she also selected two female chosen ones who were rated B.
The first girl was in her early twenties, an urban white-collar worker in Broccoli Country. She had a delicate and gentle appearance and an introverted and cautious personality.
The second woman was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, from Canada, and used to be a professional wilderness guide.
Soon it was Hidetoshi Kuroki's turn to choose a roommate.
He stood at the front of the crowd, his gaze cautiously sweeping over his surroundings. Before he could speak, Park Chang-ho from South Korea quickly squeezed his way forward.
"Kuroki-kun, choose me!"
Hideto Kuroki raised an eyebrow slightly but remained silent.
Park Chang-ho quickly added, "I know I didn't perform well this afternoon, but it was really a mistake!"
"I'm a senior executive at the G Group, so my abilities are definitely not weak. Trust me, choosing me will not hold you back."
He paused, then added, his tone becoming slightly ingratiating:
"Look, we are neighbors. I have loved the culture of Japan since I was a child—I love their movies, anime, and music."
"Our cultures are intertwined, so there will definitely be no barriers between us if we live together."
"Besides, I have very good lifestyle habits. I don't smoke or drink, and I don't snore when I sleep, so I definitely won't disturb your rest."
Hideto Kuroki looked at him expressionlessly, remained silent for two seconds, and then nodded slightly.
"Can."
Park Chang-ho's eyes lit up immediately, and he thanked him repeatedly before quickly standing behind Kuroki Hideto.
Hideto Kuroki then selected Santos, a physical education teacher from Bassie. He has been teaching track and field for many years and is physically strong, agile, and has excellent adaptability.
With one spot still vacant among the four, Kuroki Hideto's gaze fell on the back of the crowd, looking at the banana rider, Odebiao, from the country of Budi, and he was about to call out the name.
Just then, a figure suddenly stepped forward.
The newcomer was beautifully made up and had a slender figure; at first glance, she was clearly a woman.
Kuroki Hideto frowned: "I'm choosing a male roommate, what are you doing here, a girl, getting involved?"
"My name is Jilifeng, and I come from the White Elephant Kingdom." The woman smiled sweetly, her tone carrying a hint of amusement.
"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually a man. If you don't believe me, you can reach out and touch me to verify."
Before she finished speaking, she reached out and grabbed Kuroki Hidetoshi's wrist.
Caught off guard by the sudden touch, Hideto Kuroki immediately pulled his hand back, feeling a wave of unease.
Instead of backing down, Ji Lifeng leaned down slightly and whispered in his ear:
"If you're willing to choose me as your roommate, I'll agree to whatever you ask for."
The ambiguous words made Kuroki Hideto increasingly disgusted. He raised his hand and pushed the other person away, no longer hesitating, and chose Audebiao.
Ao Debiao smiled憨厚ly, stepped forward, and stood behind Kuroki Hidetoshi...
