“Ha ha, since there are four of us in this dorm, the next one to arrive will be called Old Four.”

“Don’t do that, it sounds too old-fashioned.”

A boy of short stature and slightly tanned skin came forward, smiling as he extended his right hand.

“Hey, the new guy, welcome to dorm 401... Ahem, let me introduce myself, Samuel Wright, 19 this year. I hope that in these four years of college, we can all make progress together, achieve something in our studies, and put what we learn to good use!”

Looking above his scalp, Yvonne Harris nodded blankly.

[Talent: Programmer]

[Potential Value: 7]

This potential value was a bit lower than that mathematician he ran into downstairs, but still enough to beat two dogs, so he figured this guy would definitely be someone in the future.

Besides, considering they were all software engineering majors, wouldn’t that mean their future assignments were basically taken care of?

“My name is Yvonne Harris, I’m 18... from the ancient city of Jiangling.” Keeping it pretty standard, Yvonne Harris gave a simple self-introduction.

“Yvonne Harris, huh? That’s an interesting name.”

The person who said this was standing at the desk near the door, meticulously organizing the things on the table.

Although he hadn’t seen his full face, just from the side profile Yvonne Harris could tell that, for the next four years, their dorm would never run out of chocolate, and maybe this guy’s WeChat could even be used to scam some free food and drinks.

Of course, what shocked Yvonne Harris the most wasn’t this handsome guy’s looks, but rather...

“Brian Cooper, same age as you.”

[Talent: Music Prodigy]

[Potential Value: 8]

“...Nice to meet you.”

Damn, this guy was just one point away from being three dogs!

Speaking of which...

Was he suffering from heatstroke, or had he been possessed by some system?

Purely out of instinct, Yvonne Harris glanced at the mirror set into the cabinet beside him.

And that one look left him completely dumbfounded.

[Talent: Good Luck]

[Potential Value: 0]

Yvonne Harris: ???

GTM’s good luck!

And what the hell does a potential value of 0 mean?!

Thinking of that yellow dog downstairs, even though he didn’t know why its talent was catching mice, at least it had a potential value of 3.

Was this damn system saying he was worse than a dog?

Not even as good as a dog!

Yvonne Harris felt that the fact he didn’t explode with rage on the spot meant he had an exceptionally good temper.

At this moment, a boy with a square face came over from the balcony, holding a freshly washed rag.

His two big, protruding ears were quite noticeable, but the mole under his nose was even more so. His hair was combed very neatly—probably trying to make a strong first impression on his new roommates, though he might have used a bit too much hair gel, making it look a little greasy.

But that wasn’t the main point.

The key was still the two lines of text floating above his head...

Looking at Yvonne Harris, the boy smiled kindly and extended his right hand.

“Hello, hello, you must be comrade Yvonne Harris, right? I saw your name on the roster. My name is Kevin Clark, I’m also from this province, and our hometowns are actually pretty close. Let’s get to know each other better in the future.”

[Talent: Successful Official Career]

[Potential Value: ?]

Damn!

This time it was just a question mark!

Does that mean his combat power is off the charts?

Hopefully it’s just a misunderstanding...

Shaking his right hand, Yvonne Harris gave an awkward but polite smile.

“Nice to meet you, Zhu... comrade, you really are a fine-looking gentleman.”

Judging by this guy’s aura, even if he doesn’t become a mayor in the future, he’ll at least make it as a director of the development office, right?

Sucking up a little in advance probably wouldn’t hurt.

But as soon as the flattery left his mouth, Yvonne Harris immediately regretted it.

Wasn’t that compliment a bit too direct? Would it come off as sarcastic?

Fortunately, this Brother Zhu didn’t seem to think so. Instead, he laughed heartily, happily accepting the praise, and even recited a little doggerel.

“Not at all, not at all, comrade Harris is the real fine-looking gentleman, so dignified and impressive. As the saying goes, ‘You don’t know the greatness of the Yangtze until you see it; who would have thought a great man would be right beside me!’”

“Ahem—no, no, I don’t deserve it, not at all, um... it’s you who’s right beside me!” He almost choked, unable to catch his breath while speaking.

Oh my god!

Why does everyone I meet today seem to be a big shot?

Thinking this, Yvonne Harris kept up the polite small talk, but inside he was both amused and frustrated, and his mood grew even gloomier.

It would be one thing if all his roommates were big shots.

But why was he the only loser?

Why?!

Damn!

Chapter 002: Truly a Great Man!

Although life is full of disappointments, it still has to go on.

The four young men worked together and finally managed to get the dorm ready for living before sunset, with pillowcases and quilts all laid out.

Slumping exhausted into his chair, just as Yvonne Harris was about to catch his breath and ponder what was up with those two lines of dialogue boxes suddenly floating above his head, Kevin Clark clapped his hands and said,

“Thanks for your hard work, everyone.”

“It’s just about dinner time, so let’s eat together. I heard from a senior that there’s a pretty good restaurant nearby. I’ll treat everyone to a meal.”

Hearing someone was treating, Samuel Wright chuckled.

Having just arrived in a new environment, everyone was still a bit reserved, and since they weren’t fully acquainted yet, he spoke up shyly.
