Chapter 173 Self-Triggered Mission
```
After sleeping until 7:30 am in the hotel, Yan Junze got up, freshened up, packed his luggage, checked out of his room and set off for Tianmeng Science University to register.
Tianmeng Science University is located in the Southern Suburb of Tianmeng Main District, about thirty kilometers from the center of the main district. Yan Junze was not going alone; outside the high-speed rail station, he found the school's reception.
The school had arranged transportation, and they soon arrived at the college.
Undeniably, the scenery in the Southern Suburb area was beautiful, with lush vegetation, abundant water resources, birds singing and flowers fragrant, and the air was pleasant.
After Yan Junze reached the college, some senior students immediately acted as guides and took a carload of new students to register.
At the registration area, they were further divided according to the departments applied and each department's senior students led the registration process.
The senior student receiving Yan Junze was from the previous year, named Yang Yang, a tall and handsome-looking boy.
Yan Junze noticed that Yang Yang also sported a side part, but unlike the greasy middle-aged corpse of the Crawler Monster, Yang Yang's hair was luxuriant, clean, smooth, and he had a distinct facial contour, making it a world apart.
"My name is Yang Yang, from Shuntian City," Yang Yang said enthusiastically.
Yan Junze reached out and shook his hand, "What a coincidence, I'm also from Shuntian City. Yan Junze. I look forward to learning from you, senior."
"It's nothing to speak of," Yang Yang waved his hand and took him to the registration desk where a bald teacher with glasses quickly registered him and handed over a registration form with details of his class, dormitory building, and room number.
Yang Yang leaned over to take a look, "411, your dorm is right next to mine, I'm in 412, so we're neighbors now."
Yan Junze smiled.
Without saying much else, Yang Yang led him to collect his daily necessities and to put his luggage in the dormitory.
It was apparent that unlike other departments, the Physics Department had fewer students registering, with several seniors busy with reception duties, leaving only Yang Yang standing at the door of Yan Junze's dormitory, making casual conversation with him.

"What made you decide on the Physics Department?" asked Yang Yang.
Yan Junze was candid, "I like researching the supernatural and am very interested in things like magnetic fields with strangeness, so on an impulse, with a twitch in my foot and a shiver through my body, I registered."
Yang Yang burst into laughter, feeling more fondness for Yan Junze, "That doesn't sound like making a decision, but more like the aftereffects of watching too many action movies from Great Capital of Japan."
"As the mentors of our generation's life enlightenment and the birthplace of romance films, we can exchange notes sometime in the future," Yan Junze said with a smile.
"That sounds great," agreed Yang Yang.
Yang Yang seemed to have found a kindred spirit and with a smile, he took the initiative to help Yan Junze make his bed and organize the luggage he had taken out, already feeling quite familiar with him.
After doing all this, Yan Junze also took the opportunity to clean up the dormitory. He was the first to arrive, with other classmates expected to come one after another. Having cleaned up, the dormitory would be ready for the new roommates moving in.
Yang Yang stood outside in the corridor, waiting for him to come out. The two stood shoulder to shoulder, watching the new students walking back and forth downstairs, carrying their luggage.
"Do you smoke?" Yang Yang asked.
"I don't, thank you," Yan Junze declined.
Just as he finished speaking, he was suddenly startled by a mission prompt that popped up in his mind.
[Mission Name: The Brother Sleeping on the Upper Bunk;
Mission Level: Anxiety-Inducing (Medium);
```
Mission Background: A living person should not die from holding their urine, but Chen Rui'an from room 511 did. Just because he slipped while going to the bathroom in the middle of the night, his occiput heavily collided with the edge of the washbasin behind him, fracturing his skull and causing intracranial hemorrhage which rendered him unconscious instantly.
Since the fall occurred at 2:47 AM, no one knew about it. It was only when a classmate went to wash up the next morning that they discovered him, by which time Chen Rui'an had lost bladder control and his body was nearing icy cold.
Mission Statement: Before his death, his biggest problem had not been resolved. Please think of a solution for him;
Mission Reward: 300 points of Different Dimension Energy;
Mission Penalty: Unknown;
Mission Tips: 1. The evil spirit can be locked down; 2. If you don't let him solve his problem, he will become very aggressive;
Note: This strange event was actually lurking in the shadows but was triggered due to your arrival. The "magnetic field tremor" caused by the influence of your own magnetic field led to the event being activated.]
After carefully reading the text in his mind, Yan Junze's attention was drawn to the mission note at the end.
The note actually suggested that the strangeness was initially dormant, meaning it wouldn't have occurred, but it was triggered into the event called "The Brother Sleeping on the Bunk Above" due to "magnetic field tremor" caused by the magnetic field effect from his arrival.
As for why he could generate a magnetic field effect, it was probably related to his being a "Semi-spirit," or maybe it had something to do with hiding a Fang Ning in his shadow.
Of course, Yan Junze didn't think this magnetic field effect would always work, meaning not every lurking strangeness would be triggered by his presence; this time was probably just an exception.
But either way, the event was activated.
Seeing Yan Junze stand in the corridor without speaking, Yang Yang thought he was observing the junior girls passing by downstairs and started making a serious introduction: "Forget about finding any pretty girls in our Engineering Institute. There are even fewer girls there in general. The majors with the most girls are Management, Literature, and Arts.
If you're looking for a girlfriend in the future, I'll help you pick from these three departments, but you need to take the initiative as well."
Yan Junze responded with a wry smile and asked, "Senior, does our institute have a permanent Exorcist squad?"
"No," Yang Yang shook his head, laughing, "Bro, you're still living in your secondary school days, huh. Indeed, in Tianmeng Main District, only a few higher-grade primary and secondary schools have permanent Exorcists. At most other schools, when a supernatural event occurs, they just enjoy the benefit of not having to queue up."
"So, Tianmeng Science University doesn't have any, either?" Yan Junze nodded.
Yang Yang said, "It's not that our institute doesn't have them, it's that none of the institutes does. After all, we're not elementary students anymore. We only have the privilege of priority handling of supernatural events when we call 4747. However, I've noticed that the response of Exorcists isn't very fast, definitely not as quick as in primary and secondary schools."
"That's for sure," Yan Junze nodded again.
"By the way," Yang Yang suddenly turned towards him, "did you say you applied for the Physics department purely out of interest in strange magnetic fields and such?"
"Yeah," Yan Junze didn't deny it, since he was going to study those areas specifically and didn't see the need to hide it.
"Would you be interested in joining the 'Strangeness Research Alliance Club' we established?" Yang Yang asked.
Yan Junze was startled: "There's a club like that?"
"Of course..." Yang Yang seemed a bit proud, "rest assured, the Strange Club is affiliated with the university's student union and approved by the institute, originating from a reputable lineage. It's not a rinky-dink operation started on a whim. Plus, I'm the vice president and have the power to pull people into the club privately..."
The more Yan Junze listened, the more he frowned, feeling it was a trap, not much different from pyramid schemes roping people in.
Yang Yang, of course, had no idea what he was thinking and kept talking: "Just one thing, no matter who joins the club, they must tell a strange story during the initiation ceremony, preferably one from personal experience. We have 9 auditors, and your story needs to scare and impress at least a third of them enough to get a thumbs-up in order to officially join."
He paused and added: "Once you join, we will share with you the data and results of the club's physics-related research on strangeness since its establishment. I think you'll like it."
Originally, Yan Junze had no interest in joining the club, but his mind changed after listening to Yang Yang's last remarks.
"Has there ever been a story told at the initiation ceremony that scared and impressed all 9 auditors?"
Yang Yang laughed heartily: "You're joking, right? Our veteran members have been through a lot. There's no such possibility."
