The originally sparse gymnasium was now bustling with people, the sports equipment all cleared away, and the spacious square area divided into equally sized grid-like spaces.
Each grid represented a club, with the club’s name posted at the top, a pull-up banner with a brief introduction of the club on the left, and two tables placed inside the grid, neatly arranged with registration forms.
When the three of them entered, each member responsible for recruitment in front of the grid was armed with a stack of flyers, enthusiastically greeting the underclassmen passing by.
"This young lady, consider joining our board and card club? We have everything from Go, Chinese chess, military chess, gomoku, to script murder games!"
The girl, originally dismissive of the two as nothing more than no-good swindlers, was suddenly taken aback.
"You guys have script murder games?"
"Yes, of course! Not only script murder but also Werewolf, poker, tarot cards – there’s nothing you can think of that we can’t do!"
Underclasswoman: "???"
Indeed, it was the board and card club.
The senior managed to dupe two underclasswomen into filling out the application forms, revealing a row of pearly white teeth with a grin.
Cheng Ranran was dumbfounded, "This senior’s gift of the gab... pretty solid!"
He didn’t even pause for breath.
Ye Xiaohui: "You’ll get used to it. Without that ability, one couldn’t shoulder the responsibility of club recruitment."
"Is this what you call shouldering the responsibility? May I boldly predict that their president is also of the same type?"
As the two of them objectively and positively appraised the club, Tang Shu’s gaze was drawn to a human skeleton model not far off, with six bold characters prominently displayed above the grid:
Skeleton Puzzle Club.
Notably, there was an English annotation below.
Cheng Ranran had clearly also noticed this club and, grabbing a person with each hand, pulled them toward it.
"Let’s go check it out, I’m dying of curiosity about this club!"
Only a few steps away from their destination, when the trio approached, they saw a crowd of excited little girls, each with a flushed face and eager eyes, all staring at... the member responsible for recruiting new members to the club.
"Oh boy, turns out they’re here to see the handsome guy!"
He was a young man with a cool temperament, very distinct features, and calm, still black eyes. He was dressed in a pure white trench coat, which made him look exceptionally dashing.
The young man simply stood there without speaking, a stark contrast to the other club’s silver-tongued recruiters.
Of course, the effect was also strikingly different.
Cheng Ranran clicked her tongue twice, unable to help shaking her head, "This senior really has a certain charm, doesn’t he? You can tell he’s no ordinary guy."
No wonder the other club tables only had a few inquirers, while this one was bustling and overwhelmingly packed.
These days, handsome guys are in demand.
Tang Shu was puzzled, "A pity about what?"
Could it be that this senior had some hidden flaw unknown to others?
Cheng Ranran, aside from her studies, was known for gossiping about various rumors in her free time – it was likely there was nothing at the school she didn’t know about.
Whatever she heard from her mouth, Tang Shu chose to believe.
However, just when she thought she’d hear some juicy gossip...
"What a pity, I already have Mu Qing, ah—"
Ye Xiaohui could not stand it any longer and rolled her eyes, "Shut up!"
They overheard a soft voice from among the small crowd of girls, "Excuse me, senior, what are the requirements to join the Skeleton Puzzle Club?"
