CH 25.1

I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 25.1

Lin Xinghe's first reaction to the exam prompt was that it was difficult.

In her recollection, alpine rimeroses* were the hue of white jade, a symbol of elegance and purity. There were only 50 roses in a test room of 100 people, which meant that at least half of the people in this test room were set up to fail.

The exam prompt said to look for alpine rimeroses, so where were they?

Were the alpine rimeroses in this world similar to the alpine rimeroses from the world of her before-novel? The Snow Maiden in the previous exam room didn’t match her perception of Snow Maidens.

Lin Xinghe thought for a moment then looked around calmly.

This time was different—she was not alone. The candidates in the fantasy and xianxia departments were now more low-key than they were in the waiting room. To blend in with the civilians, they put their brooms and companions away and integrated into this seemingly ordinary modern world.

The pier was crowded.

Judging by the clothes of the people around her and the cruise ship, this world was very similar to her before-novel.

Lin Xing had been on several cruises in different places. Of course, she won all the tickets through lotteries. Once, she was super lucky—after getting on the cruise, her ticket was randomly upgraded, and she enjoyed VIP cruise service with a personal butler for 18 days.

Therefore, Lin Xinghe was no stranger to cruises.

"Hello everyone, I'm your tour guide. My surname is Li. I will call off passengers’ names, so please pick up your cruise ticket and room card when you hear yours. You can check in your luggage in Area A next door, and if you don't need to check in your luggage, you turn left and go straight through the security check. Please wait in an orderly fashion for boarding.”

Tour Guide Li** began to call names.

However, he had gone through more than half of his list, and there was not a single candidate's name that had been called.

Lin Xinghe realized that some of the candidates around her had already left, walking in the direction of the ticket office. It was only then that she realized that in all the exam rooms, to the worlds inside, she was an outsider.

The school wouldn't assign her an identity fit for this world.

The exam prompt was to find an alpine rimerose, and there was a huge cruise ship in front of the spawn point, which must have meant that the rose was on the cruise ship.

【Hahahahaha, the sect leader looks like she isn’t paying attention. She still doesn’t have enough experience. Once you take more exams, you will realize that the fewer words in the prompt, the harder it will be. Especially for this kind of exam prompt, the first obstacle is obtaining passage on the cruise. 】

【Look at the fantasy department boss next door... He has already bought tickets and lined up to board the boat. 】

【The sect leader is so cute, just standing there and waiting for the tour guide to call her name】

【Sect Leader, don’t just stand still! The tickets are limited, so hurry up and find a way to get onboard. If you can’t get on the boat, it’s probably impossible to find an Alpine Rimerose!】

Lin Xinghe went directly to Tour Guide Li and asked, "Are there still suite tickets for sale?"

Tour Guide Li said embarrassedly: "All the suites have limited tickets, and they have already been sold out."

But at this time, someone hurried over and said to Lin Xinghe, "I have a cruise ticket for a suite. I'll sell it to you."

It was a young man, looking very anxious, his brows furrowed and his hands restless.

Lin Xinghe said, "Let me see the ticket first."

The young man showed her the ticket.

Lin Xinghe asked the tour guide beside them, "Is the ticket transferable?"

He replied, "You just need to go to the ticket office and change the boarding information."

Most of the facilities on the cruise were free and did not charge for food and drink. The suites offered better treatment, as well as free alcohol, exclusive restaurants, private areas, and personal butler services.

Lin Xinghe readily exchanged her gold bar with his ticket, and they went to the ticket office to re-register the boarding information.

The young man was quite anxious. While she was queuing at the ticket office, cold sweat kept beading and rolling down his forehead.

Lin Xinghe asked, "Are you uncomfortable?"

The young man shook his head and said nothing.

The ticket window had a sign:

Please take out your passport at the ticket office window.

Naturally, Lin Xinghe did not have the passport of this world.

While she hesitated, the staff glanced at her and asked, "Name."

"Lin Xinghe, Lin as in forest, Xing as in star, He as in river."**

The staff said, "It's done."

Lin Xinghe looked at the students buying tickets at the next window and found that the rules weren’t strictly enforced, so the passengers didn’t actually need passports.

After transferring the cruise ticket, the young man was so relieved; his lips were bloodless.

Lin Xinghe said, "Thank you for transferring your ticket to me."

The young man didn't seem to have heard her words. He looked at Lin Xinghe and then at the crowd in the distance. His anxiousness overwhelmed him again, and he mumbled to himself, "It should be ok... No problems... I succeeded?"

Lin Xinghe asked, "Succeeded at what?"

The young man said cautiously, "The ticket is not refundable."

The young man was acting strange. Seeing that Lin Xinghe had no intention of refunding the ticket, his whole body relaxed a little, and he said to Lin Xinghe, "Enjoy your trip."

Saying that, he turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xinghe grabbed his hand. She looked at Xiao Xue Ji on her shoulder and said, "Bite him, don't let him run away." Before she finished speaking, the soft, cute fairy cat jumped down, opened its mouth, and bit the young man's trousers fiercely.

The young man wanted to kick the cat away, but the cat seemed to stick like glue to his pants, and its lake blue eyes slowly turned red.

TL Notes:

*Avalanche roses, translated as alpine rimeroses for dramatic effect, are a species of rose that actually exist in real life. In the exam world, they are slightly different, but the students don’t know that, as the different roses are called the same thing

**In Chinese, many people who work in an industry are called “<Surname> <career>”, such as Chef Ramsey. This applies to those who work in other professions, such as tour guides, chefs, taxi cab drivers, and more.
