Chapter 82 Successfully Scammed the Senior's Campus Card
The next morning, Lin Feng woke up to the sound of his alarm, which he had deliberately set twenty minutes earlier than usual.
Outside the window, a thin, grayish-white mist still shrouded the campus, the sky was gloomy, as if the eternal night had just ended and dawn had not yet arrived.
He quickly sat up and got out of bed.
On the other side, Ichiro Sato and Vassim woke up almost at the same time.
Both of them looked visibly tired, and the dark circles under their eyes spoke of a poor night's sleep.
The three of them quickly got dressed, picked up their toiletries, and headed to the bathroom.
The cold water splashed on my face brought a sense of clarity.
Lin Feng raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror.
His handsome face was reflected in the mirror, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the nasolabial folds were even deeper than yesterday.
What made him feel even more uneasy was that a very subtle upward curve appeared on both sides of his mouth!
This was definitely not his intentional smile; it was stiff and eerie, like a mask slowly branded onto him.
"The pollution is getting worse..." Lin Feng thought with a chill.
Pollution sources are everywhere on campus, seeping in like the air. Even with daily sticky stews and blue pills to resist, the eerie corrosion still seeps in bit by bit.
The only saving grace is that, so far, it doesn't seem to be too severe.
Wasim and Sato Ichiro also noticed the same change on their faces. Their eyes met in the mirror, and they all saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Just then, the three of them heard a crisp notification sound on their phones almost simultaneously.
Lin Feng quickly dried his hands and took out his phone to unlock the screen.
It's a class group chat.
[The Elite School of Social Sciences, Class of 25 Psychology Freshmen Group (currently muted)]
Administrator Su Wan posted a group announcement:
[Announcement]
[Alati, the Chosen One from Hot Spring Country (student ID 25041416), Anton, the Chosen One from Er Mao Country (student ID 25041415), Paulina, the Chosen One from Cactus Country (student ID 25041409)]
[This is a serious violation of school rules and regulations, specifically violating Article 4 of the Dormitory Management Regulations by allowing the "faculty advisor" into the dormitory after 21 PM.]
Following an investigation, the school has decided to expel the three individuals from the school as a deterrent.
We urge all students to take this as a warning and strictly abide by school rules and regulations.
The notice, consisting of only a few lines, erased the existence of the three students.
At this point, only seven psychology freshmen remained.
Suppressing their emotions, the three of them didn't want to say anything more and continued washing up.
This is not the time for pity and compassion.
Back in his dorm, Lin Feng went to the balcony and sprinkled breadcrumbs and corn kernels on the windowsill.
Soon, the dove fluttered down and began to peck at the food.
Lin Feng communicated with it telepathically: "Buddy, I need your help."
The turtledove raised its head and looked at him with its black bean-like eyes.
"I'll take you to the supermarket downstairs in a bit, and you can fetch a campus card for me."
Upon hearing this, the dove's feathers instantly bristled slightly, conveying a strong sense of fear:
"Ugh! No! It's too dangerous there! Those two-legged creatures (supermarket staff) will kill me!"
Lin Feng's eyes were resolute as he responded telepathically, "This card is crucial to me; it's a matter of life and death. I assure you, I will risk my life to protect you and will never let you get hurt."
The spotted robin tilted its head, its black bean-like eyes swirling with thoughts.
The fear was so real, but the trust he had built with Lin Feng and the food that had come to him in his time of need were also exceptionally clear.
Ultimately, the hard-won warmth overcame the instinctive fear.
It nodded slightly: "Goo... Okay, I'll trust you this once."
Lin Feng felt relieved and immediately returned to his dormitory. He took out his backpack, unzipped it, and carefully put the dove inside, leaving a small gap for it to breathe.
The three of them walked out of dormitory 404 together and through the quiet and oppressive corridor.
The students from dormitory 414 were no longer seen at the stairwell.
The three of them continued walking downstairs towards the supermarket without stopping.
The supermarket had just opened in the early morning, and there were very few customers.
Only a few early-rising students were browsing the shelves, and there was only one cashier yawning at the checkout counter.
Lin Feng had a clear goal.
He first quickly walked to the snack area, grabbed a few bags of dried fish, bread, and biscuits, and then casually grabbed a bottle of mineral water and a pack of tissues as cover.
Then, he casually strolled over to the hardware tool shelf.
He bent down, pretending to tie his shoelaces, his sharp gaze sweeping over the dark gap between the bottom shelf and the wall.
really!
The blue campus card still lay there quietly, covered with a little dust.
Lin Feng made up his mind and quickly got up.
I walked to the rain gear shelf not far away and picked up a black long-handled umbrella.
Then, he returned to the hardware shelf, squatted down, and carefully used the hook handle at the end of the umbrella to pull the campus card out from the gap, exposing it completely on the ground below the shelf.
Then, without making a sound, he unzipped his backpack, revealing the spotted bird's head, and gestured with his eyes to the blue card on the ground.
The quail understood, nimbly popping out of the backpack and precisely catching a corner of the card with its strong beak.
"Follow my lead and stay hidden," Lin Feng commanded telepathically.
He couldn't simply put the dove carrying the card back into his backpack—
By doing that, the campus card will be "physically in the same frame" as him when checking out.
Supermarket Rule 4: Before leaving the supermarket, please double-check that you have not unintentionally taken any "unpaid" or "non-owner" items.
The supermarket is not responsible for any issues regarding the ownership of items after checkout.
Only by allowing the dove to "carry" itself out as an independent individual can it exploit a loophole in the rules.
Lin Feng stood up and began to move between the shelves in a seemingly casual but actually carefully calculated route.
The spotted robin stayed close to his feet, using the shadow of the shelf and Lin Feng's body as cover, carrying the card that was a bit too big for it, and quickly moved its little claws through the crowd.
The human and the bird worked together seamlessly, as if they were playing a silent game of stealth.
Soon, they were close to the checkout area.
There were already three people in line waiting to pay.
The cashiers were completely focused on scanning the merchandise and collecting payments, and most of the customers in line were looking down at the items in their hands, with no one paying attention to where they were going.
The opportunity is coming!
Lin Feng seized the opportunity and issued the final command to the spotted bird through his mind:
"Now! Quick! Crawl out from under that unused checkout counter over there!"
The quail understood immediately. With the card in its mouth, it nimbly slipped through the aisle beneath the unattended checkout counter, disappearing instantly outside the supermarket's glass doors.
It worked!
Lin Feng felt a surge of joy in his heart, but his face remained calm and composed.
He calmly walked to the end of the line and began to queue.
Soon it was his turn.
He placed bottled water, tissues, bread, biscuits, and dried fish onto the conveyor belt one by one.
"Beep...beep...beep..." All the previous items passed the scan smoothly without any abnormalities.
Finally, there were dried small fish.
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat; this was where the alarm had been triggered last time...
