Chapter 17 Apartment

Jiang Xiao and Liu Yang agreed to go to the 17th apartment building to pick out some goods when they had time, and then he led the team away.

He escorted Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan back to their respective dormitories, but Jiang Xiao didn't see their roommates.

Han Jiangxue hadn't really decided about Song Chunxi's possible invitation yet. Jiang Xiao didn't disturb her thoughts. Whether she went or not was fine. Risks and benefits coexisted. No matter what choice she made, Jiang Xiao would support her.

Xia Yan's dormitory was also a luxurious two-person room, in the same area as Han Jiangxue's dormitory building. She was in Apartment 07, not far from each other.

As for Xia Yan's roommate, Jiang Xiao originally wanted to meet her, but unfortunately, the young lady from Shanghai wasn't in the dormitory. To this day, Jiang Xiao only knew her name was Zhao Qi.

Maybe he'd have a chance to meet her later.

Jiang Xiao also returned to his own dormitory. The thought of the group of burly men in the dormitory building gave him a headache.

Especially his own dormitory. Three shield warriors. If he chose one of them as a teammate, what about the other two?

Jiang Xiao could get along with them normally, but he was afraid they would have complaints.

This small, broken school actually exposed student accommodation information!

He figured the school could make another fortune just based on these bed spaces.

Thinking this, Jiang Xiao sneaked into the dormitory building, afraid of being blocked by other students.

He tiptoed like a thief, quietly opened the door, only to find the dormitory empty.

Did these guys go to eat too?

Eh? Wait, there's one more.

Jiang Xiao took a closer look and saw someone leaning by the window.

Jiang Xiao said, "Hello? Are you... Oh, Gu Shi'an."

Gu Shi'an, with a cigarette in his mouth, turned to look at Jiang Xiao, then stuck his head out the window again, continuing to puff smoke.

Gu Shi'an's voice came from outside the window, "A few people came looking for you earlier. I kicked them all out."

Jiang Xiao: "......"

Kicked them out, so be it. They were probably all here to form a team.

Speaking of which... shouldn't you be fawning over me, trying to flatter me, why are you so cold?

He didn't know what school Gu Shi'an belonged to. After entering university, shield warriors were divided into Imperial Warriors (Yu Zhan) and Force Warriors (Li Zhan).

Although both were large shields that stood in front and attracted firepower, their future development directions were very different.

Yu Zhan could be called support-oriented, adding buffs to teammates, purifying and dispelling, spirit linking, visual sharing, scouting maps, and even pure meat shields...

In short, Yu Zhan needed teammates and were very obvious team players, quite popular in legions.

The other branch of shield warriors—Li Zhan—were the damage dealers among the big shields, pursuing individual ability, with relatively poor compatibility with teammates. They matched a series of Star Techniques with their own Star Techniques before considering matching with the team.

Shield Warrior - Li Zhan and Agile Warrior - Combat Warrior looked very similar, both seeming to focus on damage output, but in fact, the guiding ideologies of the two professions were vastly different.

One, although having a certain ability to fight alone, still had to protect teammates in the end. The other was very pure, and in the end, it was all about moving forward without hesitation.

Most children only had eight Star Techniques and couldn't be divided into such detailed professions, but when filling out their volunteer forms upon entering school, the main focus had to be determined.

After choosing one, the school would comprehensively modify you in all aspects, such as your tactical thinking and behavioral habits.

When you advanced to the Star River stage, the eight additional usable Star Slots would be combined and matched according to your career development direction.

The premise was that you could advance to Star River. Most people would be stuck in the Nebula stage. Of course, the geniuses of the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University had a higher success rate.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao took out the sheets and bedding from the cabinet, climbed up, and began to make the bed.

He asked, "What direction are you planning to go?"

Hearing this, Gu Shi'an took a deep drag on his cigarette, blew it out the window, and slowly said, "Li Zhan."

Jiang Xiao made the bed, saying, "Xia Yan is already an Agile Warrior - Combat Warrior, the kind of pure damage dealer who goes head-to-head. Han Jiangxue is also a damage output king, with very few support Star Techniques. Do you think you're suitable for my team if you take the Li Zhan route?"

Gu Shi'an put out the cigarette, turned around, smoothed his Mohawk, and a hint of rascality appeared on his face, "Your output is also good, your saber style is extremely fierce, especially in the final battle. You don't look like support."

Jiang Xiao stood on the bed and shook the quilt, laughing, "I really can't tell if you're praising me or criticizing me."

Gu Shi'an threw the cigarette butt into the trash can and said, "So, I think damage output is more suitable for your team. A support-oriented shield warrior? Heh, that doesn't fit your team's combat style."

"Oh?" Jiang Xiao looked at Gu Shi'an with interest, "What's our team's style?"

Gu Shi'an stated the obvious with one word, "Reckless."

Jiang Xiao: "......"

Jiang Xiao weakly said, "Shouldn't we have a little strategy, a little tactics?"

Gu Shi'an grinned, his voice even carrying a hint of disdain, "All you need are some functional Star Techniques, such as purification. As for teammates, you need a warrior who can keep up with your pace, with the same stride."

Jiang Xiao scratched his head. What Gu Shi'an said made some sense, but the specific effects would have to be tested to know.

After all, practice is the standard for testing everything.

"Jiang Xiaopi!!!" Suddenly, a male voice came from downstairs.

Gu Shi'an was obviously stunned. He turned around, poked his head out the window, and saw a sea of purple and red, uh... no, he saw a boy with long, purple, side-swept bangs.

It was none other than Bai Ye, who had disturbed the order at the school gate!

Bai Ye's face was extremely cold, his eyes full of anger, "Jiang! Xiaopi! Get out here!!!"

This person...

There's a problem!

Back at the school gate, he was yelling, seemingly wanting to call out Li Liang, the examiner from that year, to slap Li Liang in the face with reality, and to tell everyone that what he had lost, he would definitely be able to take back!

And now, he was also standing under the dormitory building, grinding his teeth and yelling.

Jiang Xiao's dormitory wasn't locked and inaccessible. If Bai Ye really wanted to find Jiang Xiao, he could just come up and say it to his face.

This kind of behavior was obviously designed to let everyone in the dormitory building see what was happening.

He wasn't calling for Jiang Xiao, but trying his best to tell everyone: Listen up! Watch closely! I'm so awesome! I'm blocking the entrance of the national champion's dormitory building, coming to make trouble for him!

But who lived in the 17th dormitory building?

All shield warriors?

Yes, all the people living here were shield warriors, but it wasn't just that. Not only were they all shield warriors, but they were all shield warriors who wanted to please Jiang Xiao and try to team up with him!

At least until the final shield warrior of Jiang Xiao's team was determined, these shield warriors were all holding back, looking for opportunities to befriend Jiang Xiao...

So, standing under the 17th dormitory building and scolding Jiang Xiao by name would be a very wrong choice...

One by one, the shield warriors taking their afternoon naps got up and came to the windows to look down.

And one by one, the shield warriors returning from eating outside didn't rush to go upstairs, standing around Bai Ye, preparing to figure out the situation.

Gu Shi'an took the lead in speaking. He was already at the window, looking down at the "Little Purple," saying, "What are you shouting for? What's the matter with Jiang Xiaopi?"

Bai Ye obviously hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation.

Seeing a large number of figures appearing at the windows of the dormitory building, feeling that many people were surrounding him, Bai Ye was quite satisfied. This was exactly what he wanted.

Of course, if he found that the surrounding people were all burly men, he should realize that something was wrong...

Bai Ye looked up at Gu Shi'an and shouted, "None of your business! Get out of the way! Jiang Xiaopi! Don't be a coward! I will repay the humiliation at the school gate today tenfold!"

Instantly, the students upstairs and downstairs were a little confused. What was going on?

A private feud?

Jiang Xiao, on the bed, almost laughed. He jumped down directly, slipped on his flip-flops, and ran to the window.

Coming to the window, Jiang Xiao's eyes rolled, pointing at Bai Ye below and shouting, "Have some shame! You insisted on being my teammate, and I didn't agree, so that's insulting you? I want a shield warrior! Not an agile warrior!"

With one sentence, the entire dormitory building exploded, and the shield warriors who had finished eating downstairs and were watching the show became excited.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

One after another, the shield warriors didn't even take the stairs, jumping directly from the windows!

The sounds of thumping and banging were rhythmic.

A series of rough voices came over:

"You want to be Jiang Xiaopi's teammate?"

"I'm asking you! Is that you?"

"Speak up?"

Bai Ye was dumbfounded.

What did these burly men mean?

What were these people surrounding him from behind?
