MMORPG: The Tales of Souls

On the day of the lectures, the school was a riot, the students could not hide their excitement on their faces, the people they would never expect to see in their lives will appear before their eyes, and moreover, it was in real life.

Since there was no class all week, students enjoyed and chatted in the corridors and around the school buildings. Classrooms will be used as lecture halls, keynote lectures, where there will be large numbers of students attending, which will take place in the school auditoriums.

Liu Yang and his colleagues were sitting in the cafeteria and eating, they were waiting for the clock to strike nine o'clock in the morning, this is the time for the lectures to begin.

"Liu Yang, are you going to watch these weird lectures? It's better to watch it with us, isn't it? "Zen Hi asked, as the most talkative of all, he was curious to know what Liu Yang wanted to do in the lectures he chose.

"I found these lectures quite interesting, the themes are something different from the usual. What's more, these lectures will be the most empty, and I won't have to hear any shouting all the time. "Liu Yang spoke honestly, what piqued his interest in the strange lectures he chose were the topics covered, they were very interesting and it was something that rarely anyone would try to do.

"The less popular lectures are the weirdest and almost nobody wants to attend, sometimes it's good to change things up a bit. I also chose one of these lectures"Zhao Yan said, he also liked some weird stuff in the game.

"You two are very strange, no one goes to these strange lectures because they are so boring and monotonous. I prefer to go where there are more people so I can socialize more "Zen Hi commented on the two.

"Let's put this matter aside and eat, the lectures will start shortly and we need to get a good seat in the auditorium, I don't want to be in the back row." Li Qing commented, he looked at his watch and saw that the lectures will start in half an hour.

The group ate faster and parted, Liu Yang went to one of the classrooms to attend the lecture of one of the game university guests, the other three went to the auditorium to attend the lecture of one of the invited celebrities.

The school had a total of three lecture halls, two were already occupied by the students and the lecturing staff. The last one was for the afternoon lecture.

Liu Yang was passing through the corridors and realized it was empty, there were only a few students who were interested in the guest lectures from the university to show off their research. Liu Yang felt a little sorry for them as they struggled to come, but there was hardly anyone to watch.

The scene was like a private lecture, in some cases, the lecture had four or five students, at worst, none or just one student to attend.

The room Liu Yang was going to was at the end of the corridor, the last room. Opening the door, he saw that there was only one person in the room, a girl, she was wearing a white cloth mask to cover half of her face.

Despite having her face covered, Liu Yang thought she was quite pretty and her face was even more. Her body was curvy, with long bun-curled hair and a crystal pencil was holding her curled hair, she was wearing a light blue shirt with white spots and dark blue jeans. The young woman was tidying the room for her presentation, she seemed a little unmotivated because she knew no one would come to see her lecture.

But her thoughts proved to be incorrect when the door was opened, the young woman immediately looked at the place and saw a young man entering, a strange glow appeared on her face.

"Hi, my name is Song Xinyue, it's nice to meet you. I'm glad you chose to see my lecture. Could you sign here, please? "The girl bowed and thanked Liu Yang kindly, she handed a paper to Liu Yang to sign before going back to packing.

The young woman was packing her computer and projector so she could turn on the white screen on the wall.

Liu Yang saw that the paper was a list to record those who attended her lecture, he wrote his name and put it on the table.

"Thanks." Song Xinyue finished packing and picked up the list to look at the name.

"We still have ten more minutes before the event can start, do you have any questions about the theme of the lecture or something?" Song Xinyue asked after looking at the clock.

"Yes"

"Please, ask"

"Senior, I would like to know why you chose this theme for your work." Liu Yang asked curiously, he wanted to know why someone chose this type of theme.

"How can I say… After a few years playing New Earth, I came across some situations that had to be done differently for better results, because of that, I started my research in this area" Song Xinyue sat down and she replied, they were having a casual conversation, as the lecture had not yet begun.

"I see ... Senior, is the difference too big?"

"This question I cannot answer yet, as it is part of the lecture"

"All right"

"Are there any more questions?"

"No, I thank senior for answering my questions"

"Thank you for visiting" Song Xinyue was thoughtful after hearing and seeing how Liu Yang was acting.

(Was I wrong?) That thought popped into her mind.

"Senior, I apologize for the inconvenience" One person opened the door and spoke casually. He was a young man who was around 20-22 years old looking ordinary.

When Song Xinyue saw that person, she became serious and understood that Liu Yang was the wrong person, he was just a student who came to see her lecture. But the person who just entered was not a visitor, at least for Song Xinyue, the person who just arrived was not someone who would see her lecture.

The young man was surprised to see that there was already someone in the room with Song Xinyue, he looked at Liu Yang with a hostile look. Liu Yang was surprised when he saw this scene, he did not understand what was happening.

"What are you doing here?" Song Xinyue said in a low tone, she was not happy with the young man's appearance.

"Senior, I apologize for that, but I'm only following orders." The young man spoke casually and sat in the front chair, he purposely sat in front of Liu Yang.

Looking at this scene, Liu Yang understood what was happening.

(Looks like this young man is here to watch the senior, and someone told him to. But that's not in my interest. This is their private business, but why did this guy have to sit in front of me?) Liu Yang thought he could only sigh about it, the other side was hostile to him just because he was attending the lecture.

The room was quiet, but the mood was heavy with the animosity in the air. Liu Yang was not caring about that, he took out his cell phone and was texting his three colleagues.

Song Xinyue was doing the same thing while the young too. Despite the tense mood, each was doing their own thing.

Tong… Tong…

The bell rang a few times.

"Can we start the lecture or would you rather wait a little longer?" Song Xinyue asked that question was meaningless, since she knew that besides Liu Yang, no other student would appear. She was glad to have at least one student interested in her university research.
