Alternate Dimension Game: Happiness is all that matters!
Chapter 339 - 270: A New Storm is Brewing

Chapter 339: Chapter 270: A New Storm is Brewing

Time flew by.

A joyful and fulfilling summer vacation had just ended.

The "Cross-dimensional Game" was updated with some minor tasks like clearing Moon monsters and Blue Star monsters, etc., but none were related to the main quest.

A new storm... was brewing!

On the other hand, Han Xiaoyue started school first.

Yunhai University is one of the top ten renowned universities in Great Xia Country.

Of course, the so-called "top ten" might actually have twenty or thirty universities in line.

After sending his cousin to the dormitory, Wang Hao leisurely strolled around his alma mater.

Whether it was the dormitory buildings, the teaching buildings, or the scenery by the lake, there was no significant change. The juniors and schoolmates were like leeks, being replaced batch after batch, but no matter the generation, they all still had two nostrils and a mouth, their silvery laughter, and their fair skin sparked a word in Wang Hao’s mind—"youth!"

The campus was brimming with human presence, those lively breaths could be read, understood, imagined, and among the midst of paperwork, they could bring back memories of the time that had passed.

The only change was that the familiar classmates who had studied together had quietly disappeared.

Opening WeChat, the last conversation with his classmates was six months ago, and it took a long while scrolling to find the dialogue box, the last few messages read: "Let’s find a time to gather and have a meal."

"Sure, it’s been half a year since we last met."

"I’m in Imperial City, I’m very busy every day."

And it stopped abruptly.

"Gather together" remained a notion on social media, but nobody put it into action.

Perhaps everyone was indeed too busy, even without time to meet.

Wang Hao came out of his daze, "Hexed, I’ve been hexed."

"I just graduated, what’s there to miss about youth?"

"Do we have to wait until retirement to actually sit together and have a drink? Anyway, once out of the social circle, isn’t there nothing in common to talk about anymore?"

He found a chair to sit down and watched the clouds on the horizon.

Not everyone was as leisurely as him, able to run to the university campus on a weekday to enjoy the youthful vibe of schoolmates.

Most people were busy with their lives and work, and former friends could no longer afford to expend the same energy to admire the scenery as during their student days, such is the reality.

How many people have the leisure to appreciate the wildflowers by the roadside?

With this thought, Wang Hao actually felt a bit lonely.

"Hey, guess who I am! You look familiar, let’s add each other on WeChat."

Suddenly, a pair of tender hands covered Wang’s eyes, and a voice intentionally lowered.

"V me 50, let me have a taste of crazy Thursday to prove your strength," Wang said. "Otherwise, why should I guess or add you on WeChat?"

Who else could it be but his own cousin?

It couldn’t possibly be the Immortal Bean junior, right? Thinking about it, it has been a while since he last contacted Immortal Bean, and he wondered what she was up to lately?

"I’m broke!" Han Xiaoyue quickly said.

Wang Hao pulled a line from his memory bank: "Since you’re broke, don’t invite me to play these boring games again, or I’ll definitely turn you all into real pig heads."

Han Xiaoyue couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

This was a classic line from the youth motivational idol drama "Meteor Shower," couldn’t help but pat Old Wang’s shoulder, urging her elder cousin to be a bit more serious.

Wang Hao turned around, his expression embarrassed, and found his cousin surrounded by three pretty girls, all wearing glasses, also giggling.

The world was truly getting worse.

Their intrinsic tacit understanding with his cousin had been overheard by others, and even thick-skinned Wang felt a bit embarrassed.

But he quickly recovered, pretended he saw nothing, the thick-skinned kind.

"Let me treat you to a meal," Han Xiaoyue held her meal card, her ponytail swinging proudly: "The school cafeteria you missed so much is back."

Now that school had started, she could no longer wear twin ponytails, transitioning to a single one, the cuteness level... dropped by 0.1 notch.

"Are they all your roommates?"

"Yes, ever since they heard about your grand achievements on campus, they’ve been curious about you!" Han Xiaoyue seemed to have a gift for socializing, having already hit it off with her roommates.

The girls giggled, sizing up this senior.

"Hello!"

Wang Hao indeed had some grand accomplishments in the university, such as coming second in the Top Ten Singers competition; third in chess, fourth in Go... Of course, these weren’t real grand achievements, the most famous being his prowess in "Dream Eastern Journey" game equipment, continuously identifying a truckload of level 140 tier-less equipment, causing the manager Wang Yi to panic, thinking there was a hacker attack, and he called the police immediately.

This caused a small stir in the school.

However, in the end, the manager apologized on the spot, and Wang directly donated the equipment to the school, announcing that he was quitting the game.

"Ah, you guys actually know about that news?" Wang Hao marveled, "That equipment was worth a fortune, a million per piece."

"Why donate it? Perhaps to leave a small mark, it could be considered one of my unique personal hobbies."

Wang Hao wasn’t the kind who couldn’t speak a word due to social anxiety; during university, he knew many upper and lower classmates. Moreover, being a man of many talents, whether it was singing, traditional studies, astrology, or board games, he could strike up a conversation on almost any topic, quickly engaging the girls with his wit and humor.
