The next day, as soon as Fang Xinhan opened his eyes, he immediately did his daily lottery draw. The same pointer spun and finally landed on a fishing rod.
【Mysterious Fishing Rod: Its mysterious quality lies in its ability to catch anything you can't imagine. Indestructible.】
"Hmm? Indestructible? And it can catch anything I can't imagine? Interesting."
Fang Xinhan put it into his backpack and went to school as usual. With less than 50 days left until the college entrance exam, he still needed to work harder.
Arriving at school, Fang Xinhan sat at his desk writing practice papers as usual, when the students next to him started whispering again.
"Hey, did you hear? Several transport vehicles went into the forest to the east yesterday."
"So what?"
"Aren't you curious?"
"What's there to be curious about? It has nothing to do with us."
"Oh? I heard there might have been some monsters appearing in the forest, though nothing ended up happening."
Fang Xinhan's eyelids twitched as he listened. No, buddy, who told you that? You have such recent intel?
Fang Xinhan looked up at the student. He knew him; he was the class's social butterfly, Yuan Qingchen.
"Is this guy a Player?"
The more Fang Xinhan looked, the more he thought so.
"No, I need to trick him."
Fang Xinhan put down his pen, secretly planning to corner him when he went to the restroom.
After one class, Yuan Qingchen suddenly felt the urge to pee, and then went to the restroom.
Fang Xinhan followed closely. He put on an Ultraman mask and jumped out right after Yuan Qingchen finished peeing.
Yuan Qingchen was startled, directly pointing his Guan Yu at Fang Xinhan, but he had just finished urinating, so there was not a single drop left.
"Don't be nervous. I know why the monsters there suddenly disappeared."
Because Fang Xinhan was wearing a mask, Yuan Qingchen couldn't guess Fang Xinhan's true identity.
"Really?"
"Then lean your head over."
Yuan Qingchen turned and leaned in when he heard Fang Xinhan's words.
"I killed all the monsters in that dungeon."
Yuan Qingchen's eyes widened instantly when he heard that.
(Chapter 18: Modifying Yuan Qingchen's memory, he's now honest and begging for mercy.)
"Holy crap, so it was... *muffled*"
Fang Xinhan clapped a hand over Yuan Qingchen's mouth, then leaned his mouth close to Yuan Qingchen's ear again.
"You're a Player too, aren't you? Then don't expose yourself so boldly, you idiot."
Yuan Qingchen had been about to resist, but stopped his movements after hearing Fang Xinhan's words.
Then another student came to use the restroom. As soon as he entered, he saw an Ultraman covering Yuan Qingchen's mouth with one hand.
And Yuan Qingchen was motionless, even exposing his Guan Yu.
The two of them, seeing the classmate looking at them, also fell silent.
"It's not what you think."
Yuan Qingchen had an outstretched hand gesture like Er Kang.
"Ahem, I didn't see anything. You two carry on."
That student held back his urge to pee and ran away quickly.
Then only Fang Xinhan and Yuan Qingchen remained, maintaining their previous posture.
"Don't expose yourself. We'll talk about it after school tonight."
Time passed quickly. After school, Yuan Qingchen immediately went to the restroom, and Fang Xinhan appeared immediately as well.
Before going to the restroom, Fang Xinhan quickly typed a few lines on his phone, then put his phone away before heading to the restroom.
"Let's find a place to talk."
At this moment, in the Management Bureau building, Fang Nuannuan received a message.
【I went out with a friend today. I'll be home late.】
Fang Nuannuan frowned, realizing that things were not simple.
Wei Kexin, standing nearby, looked at the message on Fang Nuannuan's phone and couldn't help but ask,
"Your younger brother didn't get a girlfriend, did he?"
"Impossible! With his aloof demeanor... how could he possibly have a girlfriend?"
"Then could he have been tricked by someone?"
!!!
Yuan Qingchen and Fang Xinhan had just found a coffee shop and sat down when Fang Xinhan's phone started vibrating.
Fang Xinhan picked it up and, sure enough, it was a voice call from his Older Sister.
"One moment, I'm going to the restroom."
Then Fang Xinhan left his seat and went to the restroom.
"Older Sister, what's up?"
"Are you on a date with a girl?"
"Huh? Me?"
Fang Xinhan was full of question marks now. He didn't know what kind of scenario his Older Sister had imagined.
"You really aren't on a date with a girl?"
"Older Sister, I'm not even an adult yet! Why are you worrying so much?"
"I only have you as family, Older Sister. If some scoundrel targets you, how am I supposed to explain it to our parents?"
"Alright, I'll be back in a bit."
Fang Xinhan finished speaking and put his phone in his pocket.
"That quick?"
Yuan Qingchen looked at Fang Xinhan suspiciously. He was the social butterfly of the school, basically knowing all his classmates.
But he couldn't figure out who the other person was.
Fang Xinhan nodded.
"How much do you know about this dungeon game?"
Fang Xinhan asked first.
"I've only entered dungeons 3 times, and the types are quite different: survival, puzzle-solving, shooting.
But if you die in a dungeon or fail a mission, the remaining monsters in the dungeon will be released into the real world."
With Yuan Qingchen's help, Fang Xinhan quickly learned about the dungeon game. It wasn't just one type of game; there were all sorts of diverse types.
"The official announcement on the chat forum said the eastern forest dungeon was D+ ranked. How did you completely shut down the dungeon?"
Yuan Qingchen was very curious. Usually, beginner dungeons don't have very powerful monsters appearing.
But this dungeon clearly surpassed all previous beginner dungeons.
So Yuan Qingchen was very curious how Fang Xinhan killed the boss.
"As soon as I entered the dungeon, there was a wooden sword in a box, and then I ambushed the boss from behind when it wasn't paying attention and killed it."
Fang Xinhan couldn't expose his golden finger, so he could only lie, but it wasn't entirely a lie; about ninety percent of it was true.
"You're so lucky. When I entered the beginner dungeon, I was on a bus alone. Don't underestimate that bus; there were no living people inside. If I hadn't been well-behaved, I would have died too."
The two exchanged information, and soon it was time to part ways.
"Then tell me your ID. Let's add each other as friends so we can look out for each other later. The fact that you can clear a D+ ranked dungeon proves your strength must be very formidable. If there's a team dungeon next time, I'll call you."
"OK."
Fang Xinhan didn't look back and walked straight towards home.
Fang Xinhan returned home, reported to his Older Sister, and then checked the dungeon panel. On the blue panel, the mission was counting down.
<24:20:05>
"A new dungeon in just one day? Then I need to prepare well."
Fang Xinhan took out his white sheath and recalled the combos he used when playing games.
Fang Xinhan swung his sword, almost splitting his desk.
"Holy crap! I almost broke my desk. I'll have to go to a special place to train in the future."
