Chapter 52 Staying Overnight in the Girls' Dormitory!
Jiang Ming looked away, stuffed the unfinished piece of jerky into his mouth and chewed it vigorously, his cheeks puffing out with hard lines.
"I've eaten and drunk my fill." He patted the crumbs off his hands, picked up the demon-faced round shield at his feet, and said, "Time to move."
Wang Yang was bragging to a few girls about how he had just split open a goblin's skull with an axe when he heard this, and he paused for a moment, still holding a bone with half a piece of meat still in his hand.
"Moving? Back to 305?"
"Go to the second floor." Jiang Ming gestured with his chin toward the girls' dormitory building behind him. "President Zhao just told me on the way that, for safety reasons, our two groups will each guard the stairwell on the second floor, while the girls will live on the third floor and above."
Li Bin pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting the orange glow of the campfire. He carefully wrapped the precious [Poisonous Piercer] with strips of cloth.
"This arrangement makes sense. We boys all live on the second floor, and the first floor is a buffer zone. If those goblins attack again, we can hold them off immediately, so those defenseless girls won't have to face the monsters directly. And..." He lowered his voice, adding in a volume only the three of them could hear, "we can also use their supplies without any problem."
"Hehe, living in the girls' dormitory, huh..." Wang Yang's expression instantly became somewhat smug. He tossed the bone into the fire, picked up the still-warm flaming battle axe, and said, "Godfather is wise! I'll go move my things right now!"
Zhong Chengyu's three roommates also seemed very excited. After all, compared to the boys' dormitory which was full of the smell of sweat and feet, the girls' dormitory had a mysterious attraction for these teenagers.
Jiang Ming ignored their commotion and turned to look at Zhao Yanzhi, who was arranging night watchmen not far away.
"President Zhao, now that we've finished eating, let's arrange for your accommodations."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanzhi immediately turned around, clapped his hands at the group of girls behind him, and said loudly, "Listen up, everyone. As per the previous assignment, for safety reasons, all girls should take the supplies and go up to the third floor. The second floor will be left for us boys to form a defensive line. Unless there are special circumstances, please try not to go downstairs unnecessarily."
"Understood, President."
"Um... Jiang Ming... thank you all." A few bold girls blushed and whispered their thanks as they passed by Jiang Ming.
Xu Shishi pulled Su Xiaoxiao over as well. She glanced at Jiang Ming, her expression somewhat complicated: "We're in 302. If anything happens... you can just call out."
Su Xiaoxiao kept her head down, clutching the medical kit in her arms. When she passed Jiang Ming, she paused for a moment, whispered "Goodnight" in a barely audible voice, and was then hurriedly pulled into the stairwell by Xu Shishi.
Under the shy yet reassuring gaze of the girls, Jiang Ming led his men through the gate of the girls' dormitory.
The dormitory door was wide open, and Zhao Yanzhi had arranged for two boys from the archery club to stand guard at the door.
Upon seeing Jiang Ming approach, the two men immediately straightened their backs, their faces filled with awe.
The image of Jiang Ming as a "god of death" has been completely imprinted in their minds after that battle.
A faint scent of perfume mingled with the stale smell of blood in the second-floor corridor, creating an odd atmosphere.
"Jiang Ming, over here." Zhao Yanzhi took two quick steps, poked his head out of dormitory 201, and pointed to 202 across the street. "The two best rooms are reserved for you. They have a great view and face the main entrance downstairs. My brothers from the archery club and I will be staying next door."
Jiang Ming nodded and led his men into room 202.
This is a four-person dormitory room. The original pink bed curtains and plush toys have not yet been taken away. Cosmetics and several fashion magazines are on the table.
"Holy crap, this bed is so soft!" Wang Yang plopped down on the lower bunk near the door, and the mattress immediately creaked under the weight. "It even smells nice! Old Zhong, smell it!"
"Tch—" Zhong Chengyu glanced at him with disdain, took out a few whetstones he had taken from the goblin camp from his bag, and sat down at the table to start sharpening his goblin scimitar.
"That's the smell of air freshener, don't act like a pervert."
Jiang Ming ignored their banter, locked the door from the inside, dragged a table over to block the doorway, and then threw the three rusty black iron broadswords and the broken goblin shaman bone staff from his waist onto the ground.
The metal struck the floor with a dull thud.
"I'm doing some research."
Jiang Ming sat cross-legged on the ground, with the black iron longsword resting across his knees.
Although I killed a lot of monsters today, the black iron longsword I got yesterday is already showing signs of wear and tear.
It was quite difficult to cut through the armor of the goblin thugs, and several tiny chips the size of rice grains even appeared on the blade.
An upgrade is necessary.
On his retina, a synthetic panel quietly appeared.
Jiang Ming reached out and grabbed the three broadswords he had taken from the bodies of the indigenous people.
Although these swords are rusty, they are extremely heavy and made of very solid materials, which are of excellent quality.
[Rusty Black Iron Broadsword] x2 + [Black Iron Longsword] x1 = [? ? ?]
"synthesis."
With a thought, the black iron longsword on his knee and the two black iron broadswords on the ground were instantly enveloped in a blinding white light.
There was no clanging sound of metal being struck, only the subtle hum of matter being reorganized at the microscopic level.
A few seconds later, the white light dissipated.
A brand-new two-handed greatsword lay quietly on the floor.
The blade was twice as wide as the previous longsword, and its entire body was a deep matte black. There was a dark red blood groove on the spine of the blade, and the hilt was wrapped with rough animal hide for slip resistance. The guard had been reshaped into a ferocious beast claw.
[Reforged Black Iron Horse-Slaying Sword (Green - Excellent Weapon)]
Attack Power: 15
[Trait: Armor Penetration (Deals an additional 30% damage to heavily armored units)]
[Description: A heavy weapon combining the essence of multiple weapons, extremely dense, and designed solely for slaughter. It cuts in two cleanly, without hesitation.]
Jiang Ming gripped the hilt of the sword with one hand and tried to lift it.
weight.
It weighs at least forty pounds.
But for him, whose strength attribute is now as high as 10, this weight is just right. When he swings it, he can use the inertia to unleash terrifying destructive power.
"nice one."
Jiang Ming twirled his sword with satisfaction, and the dull gust of wind startled Wang Yang, who was about to take off his shoes.
"Brother Jiang, how come your sword... looks different now?" Wang Yang stared wide-eyed at the greatsword, which was full of violent aesthetics, and his mouth was practically watering.
"I just used those broken swords to repair my sword."
Jiang Ming made up a story on the spot, his gaze falling back on the bone staff.
This thing is a shaman's weapon. Although it's broken, the eerie energy it contains is still there.
He thought for a moment, then took out the glowing green bead that Li Bin had found on the shaman's corpse earlier from his pocket.
[Damaged Goblin Shaman Bone Staff] + [Poison Sac Bead] = [???]
