【Bai Yuan: But I can also tell you clearly that right now, across our entire world, you wouldn't find even five people who can do this!】
【Xu Youyou: So that's how it is. Doesn't that mean our deputy group owner's strength can rank in the top five?!】
Seeing Xu Youyou and Bai Yuan start discussing just how powerful the deputy group owner was, Zuo Lin'an stopped reading.
However, he now understood why he had to wait in line for so long.
“No wonder...”
Just then, a notification arrived on his work phone.
He unlocked it to take a look.
【Handed in five unsolvable specters, obtained 25 Contribution points.】
He checked his personal information and saw that his Contribution had indeed reached 27 points. He felt quite satisfied.
“Not bad.”
Xu Youyou happened to lean over and take a look, his eyes filled with envy.
“That's so much Contribution. I wish it were mine.”
Zuo Lin'an put away his phone and changed the subject.
“Done chatting?”
Xu Youyou frowned. “I wanted to ask about Fanxing's past glorious deeds, but both of them were really vague about it. I think they're lying to me.”
Zuo Lin'an said, “If they don't want to talk about it, don't press them.”
“Calculating the time, after we open our Daily Dungeon one more time, we should have to head back to school to participate in the National War Dungeon and play guest roles as student NPCs, right?”
Xu Youyou was stunned for a moment, then it clicked.
“Right!”
“The National War Dungeon starts on August eighth. Before it opens, we really can only run our Daily Dungeon one more time.”
“I wonder if we get any Contribution points for guest-starring.”
Zuo Lin'an said, “Definitely not. After all, we're just guest stars. And since we're guest-starring as NPCs, we definitely can't make a move to kill players.”
“But since we promised our homeroom teacher, we should still ask her for a copy of the materials regarding the Lingyang First High School dungeon in advance. That way, we won't accidentally slip up in front of the players.”
He walked toward the house as he spoke.
Xu Youyou looked thoroughly puzzled.
“I don't quite get it.”
“This wuxia world has an ancient setting, right? Will they even understand what high school means? If they don't know anything when they get there, won't they all just die right at the start?”
“And since it's a high school dungeon, they'll definitely have to study and attend classes, right? Will they be able to understand high school level knowledge?”
Zuo Lin'an also felt something was off.
“I think... it shouldn't be that bad. Let's ask for the materials first.”
Xu Youyou pulled out his phone. “I'll contact our homeroom teacher.”
Zuo Lin'an didn't stop him.
But then, Xu Youyou suddenly slapped his forehead.
“Hey, do you think I should make another group chat? Just the two of us and our homeroom teacher. Maybe in the next world, we'll have to go to school to act as NPCs again. It'd be more convenient to stay in touch then.”
Zuo Lin'an shook his head. “Forget it. Our homeroom teacher is different from us. In principle, she's still a normal person and will retire normally according to the standard process.”
Xu Youyou said, “Instructor An also seems like he'll retire normally.”
Without looking back, Zuo Lin'an said, “Then are you going to disband our group with Instructor An?”
Xu Youyou shook his head repeatedly. “No way, no way! We can't lose Instructor An!”
Zuo Lin'an ignored his antics. “What did our homeroom teacher say?”
Xu Youyou looked at the reply from their homeroom teacher and handed his phone over. “See for yourself.”
Zuo Lin'an took it and looked. “Oh?”
【Homeroom Teacher: I can't give you the information on the Lingyang First High School dungeon for now. Come over early on August seventh, and you'll find out everything then.】
Zuo Lin'an sent another question.
【Teacher, the players from this wuxia world all come from ancient backgrounds. Can they really adapt to a high school of our era?】
【Homeroom Teacher: All players entering the dungeon will automatically receive some memories related to Lingyang First High School, and the knowledge taught in class will be appropriately lowered to an elementary school level.】
【Understood.】
Zuo Lin'an handed the phone back.
“Since our homeroom teacher says we'll know when we get there, let's not ask for now. It's just a guest role anyway, so it shouldn't be too much trouble. For now, let's focus on our next dungeon.”
Xu Youyou blinked. “Focus on what?”
“It's just wiping them all out anyway. But I've been honing my acting skills lately, and I've already made some decent progress!”
Zuo Lin'an naturally knew what he was referring to; he must have taken inspiration from what An Mu had said before.
“You really separated your living body and specter body? Your living body disguises itself as an NPC to interact with players and get them to trigger the rules, and then your specter body goes in for the kill?”
Xu Youyou nodded. “Yes! And I found that by blending in with the players, I can even figure out their talents and specter items to some extent.”
“I can also analyze their facial expressions, reactions, words, and behavior to determine whether they have methods to repel specters or other trump cards.”
“Those who look very confident and show no fear between their brows generally need to be treated with caution.”
“As for those who are trembling and jumping at every shadow, I can just have my specter body kill them off first. They're usually very easy to kill.”
“For the high-level players left at the end, I can use my perfect fusion state to deal with them.”
“What do you think? Pretty smooth combo, right?”
Zuo Lin'an said, “Sounds pretty good.”
He then thought of his own rules. “As for me, I don't really need to disguise myself as an NPC for now.”
However, Xu Youyou uncharacteristically disagreed with him.
“Brother An, you need to start practicing your acting skills too. You have to realize that once our dungeons become Two-Star dungeons, we'll have to design a story—essentially a plot—ourselves.”
“As the dungeon boss, you'll definitely need to play an NPC role.”
“Let me tell you, hiring NPCs to work is incredibly expensive!”
“We're just starting out, so we should save wherever we can. Besides, if we play the key NPCs ourselves, we can directly control the progress of the plot.”
“Oh right, we can actually start saving money now. After all, if there's a plot, we'll definitely need some buildings, which means we'll have to hire a construction team...”
Zuo Lin'an nodded inwardly. What Xu Youyou said made sense.
After all, he had already decided to gather 100 Contribution points as quickly as possible to visit Sin Hunter City again.
This meant that many things had to enter the preparation stage, such as saving money to hire a construction team.
“Alright, I got it.”
Xu Youyou stretched and lay down on the sofa.
“It's actually a bit early to talk about this, but when I get the chance, I'll have to learn from you and generate some unsolvable specters to rake in a ton of Contribution.”
“But at this stage, haven't a lot of players already figured out that killing other players or NPCs in a dungeon will turn them into unsolvable specters?”
Zuo Lin'an thought for a moment. “We run One-Star dungeons, so most of the players who enter are novices. There shouldn't be many who know this information.”
“You can focus on those newbies, isolate them, force them to kill each other, and then finally kill the survivor.”
“That way, you should easily be able to gather 100 Contribution points.”
