Yu Jin stared at the girl in front of him.
There was no denying it.
This Yin Yao was indeed beautiful, with exceptional grace; no wonder Tang Yunxuan had reacted so awkwardly earlier.
It was just...
"What's Senior Sister Yin up to?"
Yu Jin didn't understand. He thought it over and couldn't figure it out at all.
During the past three years of university, he had hardly ever met this senior sister.
In fact,
Yu Jin even thought she didn't know his name at all!
"Huh?"
"That's not right."
Suddenly, Yu Jin was taken aback, glancing at Tang Yunxuan, who was looking at him with eager eyes, almost begging him to accept Yin Yao's application to join the club.
"Damn, I've been affected by this simp!"
"I almost fell for one of the three big delusions of life, thinking she wanted to join the club because she was interested in me!"
"Maybe she's just passionate about the environment and wanted to support a clean, hygienic earth village!"
Thinking of this,
Yu Jin's previous odd feelings disappeared.
"No problem."
"You'll need to fill out an application form first. Once you pass the assessment, you can officially become a member of our Environmental Protection Club."
With no more messy thoughts, Yu Jin felt much calmer. He reached under the desk and took out a form, handing it to Yin Yao across from him.
"Thank you."
Yin Yao accepted it and thanked him softly.
Then,
This Senior Sister Yin, without any hesitation, sat right next to Yu Jin, took out a pen that looked quite valuable, and began filling out the form.
"Huh?"
"She even brought her own pen?"
Seeing this, Yu Jin felt he had underestimated her commitment to the 'environmental earth village.'
This kind of talent should be put to use in our Environmental Protection Club!
Meanwhile, on the other side,
The vice president of the dance club, Yu Pan'Er, had a pretty face all crumpled up, almost about to cry.
"President, President..."
"Are you really leaving the dance club?"
Just after Yu Pan'Er finished speaking,
Yin Yao seemed to realize something. Her writing paused slightly, she raised her head a bit, and looked at Yu Pan'Er: "I nearly forgot. Get me a form to leave the club."
Yu Pan'Er: "..."
...
...
In the lecture hall,
which was the venue for the club recruitment event, there was an extended silence lasting several minutes.
Scratch, scratch—
The sound of pen nibs grazing paper echoed in everyone's ears.
First-year students to old second- and third-year students, all stared at Yin Yao, who was bent over, filling out her exit form and then continuing to fill out the club application form. The expressions on their faces were beyond words.
"What's happening?"
"Why is Yin Yao leaving the dance club and suddenly wants to join the neglected Environmental Protection Club?"
Everyone was puzzled.
Members of the dance club, especially the newcomers who joined because of President Yin Yao, besides being puzzled, felt utterly bewildered.
On the other side,
From a perspective unseen by others,
Yin Yao, who was sitting and filling out the application form for the Environmental Protection Club, revealed a look of relieved satisfaction in her eyes.
Success!
She had done it!
She had completed the first step of getting close to and clinging to Yu Jin's influential leg!
No one knew.
Just half an hour ago, she had been struggling to survive in the Wasteland World. To obtain an "Infection Crystal," she died in the jaws of the Tier Three Mutated Beast King, the "Shadow Leopard," with not a single bone left!
But...
There's always a way out.
When she opened her eyes again, she was shocked to discover that she had been reborn!
Reborn to the time before the game Wasteland had invaded reality, reborn in this peaceful and prosperous Blue Star!
"Today is September 2, with just seven more days until the game Wasteland invades Blue Star."
"By then, nearly half of the world's human population will be forcibly and randomly teleported to the unfamiliar Wasteland Planet, struggling to survive in the perilous Wasteland World..."
While filling out the form, Yin Yao calculated in her mind.
What could she accomplish in the mere seven days ahead?
With the advantage of rebirth, she knew a lot of information and intelligence, and when she descended upon the Wasteland seven days later, she could preemptively seize many resources from others.
But...
The greatest and most valuable resource was the man sitting beside her, casually with his legs crossed!
He was the most powerful and most blessed City Lord of the safest refuge, Dawn City, in the Wasteland World!
He was the very first Evolver in Wasteland World history to be promoted to Tier Nine!
He was a nightmare for countless Infected Bodies and Mutant Beasts, once single-handedly wiping out a wave of one hundred thousand infected beasts!
In that hopeless, nearly futureless Alien Wasteland World, Yin Yao, merely a base-level refugee, had once seen this great figure from afar, and his name had already spread throughout the Wasteland.
His name was Yu Jin!
For this reason,
After quickly accepting the reality of her rebirth, Yin Yao immediately sought out the whereabouts of Yu Jin.
So, she came.
She came to the club's recruitment event to join the Environmental Protection Club where Yu Jin was!
The first step to holding onto a big opportunity was to get close to him, to establish a connection.
And the Environmental Protection Club was the best entry point Yin Yao could find.
"Filled it out yet?"
Yu Jin's voice interrupted Yin Yao's thoughts. She froze slightly, her body instinctively shivered, and then she hurried up filling out the form.
After a little while.
Yin Yao raised her head, capped her steel pen, and took a long breath.
"It's filled out."
She handed the fully completed form to Yu Jin.
Yu Jin raised an eyebrow and reached out to take it.
With just a glance, Yu Jin's expression instantly became colorful—

…
...
Generally, Yin Yao never publicly mentioned her specific family background.
But clearly.
Due to Yu Jin's influence, the situation seemed anything but "ordinary" to Yin Yao at this time.
So much so—
For the first time, she clearly wrote out her towering and intimidating background in black and white.
If it weren't for limited paper space, she could have written more...
"Cough, cough cough!"
Yu Jin put away the application form, not allowing Tang Yunxuan, peering over curiously, to see it, but slipped it directly into his pocket.
He wasn't foolish; he understood that such information couldn't be casually leaked.
However, Yu Jin also couldn't comprehend, just applying to join a small Environmental Protection Club, was this lady really necessary to make it so intimidating?
Those lines of startling information, anyone who didn't know might think she was running for President of the United States...
"Did I pass?"
Seeing Yu Jin put away the application form, Yin Yao chased him with a question.
Yu Jin: "..."
Darn it, he wanted to ask, who would dare not accept it after seeing those statements on the application form?
"No, you didn't pass."
Yu Jin firmly shook his head.
Then he added, "According to past procedures, joining the club requires a little test."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Yin Yao hadn't reacted yet, but beside them, Tang Yunxuan widened his eyes, his pupils shook vigorously!
"Old Yu, you, you..."
Yu Jin ignored Vice President Tang.
He looked at Yin Yao and said seriously:
"The test is very simple,"
"To demonstrate your determination to join the Environmental Protection Club, you need to collect a bag of trash within Jiangcheng University!"
"Of course, if you have time now, I, along with Vice President Tang, can accompany you for the test right away!"
His words surprised everyone.
Hundreds of people in the lecture hall stared at each other, swallowing hard.
Just moments ago, Tang Yunxuan, thrilled by Yin Yao's impending club membership, looked utterly devastated.
Even though, even though the "collect trash" test was a rule set by the president of the club several terms ago.
But!
This was Yin Yao!
Her willingness to join the Environmental Protection Club was already a groundbreaking event, yet Old Yu insisted on "following custom" and taking her to collect trash!
Yu Jin's words left Yin Yao stunned for quite a while.
But in the next second.
This well-connected Senior Sister Yin blossomed a radiant smile on her face.
"Alright!"
"Then please, President Yu, and Vice President Tang, lead me to collect trash!"
