Qin Nuo didn't tio waste words with Li Xiaodie, fearing her jinxing mouth, and turned around to run away.

  Back at school, just as he sat down in the , the game's broadcast sounded in his mind.

  "gratutions to the pyers for successfully surviving the first day of role-pying. After yesterday's shuffle, a total of 15 pyers have been eliminated!"

  "The remaining pyers, wele to a new day. On the sed day, please face it with a smile, and good luck to you all!"

  Fifteen eliminated.

  For Qin Nuo, that was quite a few.

  Being the first in the instance, all pyers were unfamiliar with the rules. To survive ahe game going, everyone iably explored the game instance.

  Pyers g game experience, keen observation, or a stro were the most likely to hit a minefield and be brutally eliminated.

  The first day was bound to have the most eliminations.

  Ohe rules and patterns were figured out, and ways to survive were found, the number of eliminated pyers would decrease.

  With 100 pyers in this instance, only 15 were eliminated, which surprised Qin Nuo.

  Looking around, if he guessed correctly, the number of pyers in Css 3 like him was about a handful, especially since Gu Shuqin was eliminated yesterday, it shouldn't exceed a handful.

  The daily schedule for fifth and sixth graders at Bck Crow School included five csses in the m, excluding m reading, and two csses iernoon after a two-hour nap.

  After m reading, the first css was Mr. Yan's. With yesterday's experience, pyers were filled with unease about his css, as if they were death row inmates about to be executed.

  Fortunately, today Mr. Yan seemed to be in a good mood, and there were no horror-indug questions, just a regur lecture.

  The following csses were divided between ese and English.

  The ese teacher, Mr. Li, was an old man with slicked-back hair, looking kind and amiable, always holding a stainless steel thermos during and after css.

  Judging by his seniority, he was likely a veteran teacher at the school, having taught for over a decade, and students loved his csses. The atmosphere was much better than that of the smili sinister Mr. Yan.

  The English teacher, Miss Fang, named Fang Fang, looked like a freshly graduated college student, seemingly a former student of Mr. Li.

  Her csses also cked any tense or horror atmosphere, and she enjoyed iing and chatting with students, a very cheerful teacher.

  "The other two main subject teachers seem normal, not as scary as Mr. Yan."

  "But maybe it's just a surface impression. They're not human, after all. If you make a mistake that goes against their will, who knows what terrifying things might happen?"

  Qin Nuo pondered, pnning to get up and go to the bathroom when a figure suddenly blocked his way.

  Looking up at him, Qin Nuo had some impression; it was a student sitting behind him, seemingly named Liao , who had been called upon by the teacher to answer questions, cleverly notig details and avoiding pitfalls, quite a smart guy.

  "Pyer?" Liao asked.

  "Why ask when you already know? Just say what you want." Qin Nuo replied ftly.

  "Ied in cooperating?" Liao smiled slightly. "I only cooperate with smart people. You earned my reitioerday, so you're lucky."

  "Not ied. I also like w with smart people, but those who inexplicably think they're superior, fet it." Qin Nuo waved his hand, refusing bluntly.

  Just from the first sentence, Qin Nuo could tell this Liao was far from Lan Yan and the blond guy from before.

  Liao seemed to have anticipated this response and tinued, "We're all here for the instano o mind these things."

  "My personality is like this; those who aplish great things shouldn't be bothered by trifles, right?"

  "This instance is far more plex than we imagined. Cooperating with me will definitely be you more than harm." Liao said.

  Qin Nuo blinked and asked, "How do we cooperate?"

  "Simple, we share the informatioher from our daily role-pying."

  Liao smiled, "My goal isn't just role-pying, but also the mai. I started iigatierday."

  "The principal of Bck Crow Ghost School is a very mysterious guy. If we catch him, we make a name for ourselves with this instance."

  "Once famous, it bring us huge bes in the real world!"

  "Who would risk their life in an instance for nothing? It's all for profit, and you're no exceptiht?"

  Qin Nuo touched his nose and said, "Funny, I'm the exception."

  "I have other reasons for entering the instance."

  Liao 's expression turrahen he seemed to uand and smiled faintly, "Brother, if you're not ied in cooperating, there's o sound shteous, right?"

  Qin Nuo rolled his eyes, too zy to expin.

  Liao tinued, "I've done some iigation on the character you're pying, Li Xiaoming."

  "I only say you're a smart guy, but your luck is bad, pying su unlucky role."

  Qin Nued nontly, "Is it that unlucky?"

  Liao chuckled, "You should have noticed without me saying."

  "Your family isn't easy to get along with, right?"

  "Not really, the family is quite harmonious, parents are loving, siblings are obedient, I don't feel any pressure." Qin Nuo said with a rexed expression.

  Liao just smiled and didn't expose it, but hinted, "Hope it's as you say."

  "However, from what I've gathered, Li Xiaoming's family had quite an i."

  "It caused quite a stir ba Younan Town."

  Qin Nuo couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get this information?"

  Liao looked a bit smug, "See, that's the be of cooperation. If you had agreed earlier, as allies, wouldn't I have told you all this?"

  Qin Nuo instantly put on a smile, "It's not too te to cooperate nht, good buddy?"

  Liao shook his head, "But I'm not ied anymore, because I suddenly realized cooperating with you might be a loss."

  "Seems I overestimated you."

  "As for Li Xiaoming's family matters, you'll have to explore them yourself as the one pying the role."

  "But I'll tell you this, your family is full of minefields, one wrong step and... boom!"

  Qin Nuo frowned.

  He suddenly realized this Liao might not have inteo cooperate at all, just wao say these things to mess with him and satisfy his own desires.

  "Xiaoming, I have a new gift for you today, you'll love it!"

  Just then, Huang Xia came over, hands hidden behind her back, her pink face shy.

  She g Liao , puzzled, and asked, "Are you two close?"

  Liao was about to speak, but Qin Nuo cut in, "He said he wao introduce a girl to me, told me to wait for him after school."

  Huang Xia was stunned.

  Then, her inally pyful and cute face turned hideous and terrifyiing a sinister ghost aura.

  "What did you say?"

  Seeing her like this, Liao felt things were going wrong and quickly expined, "He's lying, don't listen to him!"

  Qin Nuo coughed lightly and tinued, "Heard it's his sister, has had a crush on me for a long time, he wants to py matchmaker."

  Liao 's expression twitched, gring at Qin Nuo, "You!"

  Bang!!!

  Before he could finish, Liao 's face was struck hard, his body sent flying by the terrifying ghost power, crashing into the bckboard on the back wall of the .

  Liao immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

  Clutg his chest, he opened his mouth, his expression twisted in pain.

  Clearly, the internal injury wasn't light.

  The other students, seeing this, hooted excitedly, their expressioremely thrilled.

  "Liao dared to provoke Huang Xia, the tigress!"

  "One sp and he's down, so weak, are you made of paper?"

  Several boys poi him, mog mercilessly.

  Liao 's face turned blue, uain if it was from anger or the internal injury.

  He looked at Qin Nuo with a venomous gaze, but feared Huang Xia might e up and hit him again, so he had to avert his eyes.

  This Huang Xia, despite her small stature, had terrifying ghost power. A few more hits and his immunity card would be used up here.

  Qin Nuo hadn't expected Huang Xia's rea to be so intense, and couldn't help but look at the prone Liao with schadenfreude.

  But soon, he couldn't ugh anymore.

  Huang Xia seemed to ge faces, no, ge people, staring at him sinisterly, "So, you have a new love?"

  Qin Nuo's mouth twitched a few times, instinctively leaning back against the chair. Fortunately, his brain worked fast, and he said calmly, "I'm not ied in her, it's just their wishful thinking."

  Hearing this, Huang Xia's sinister fastantly cleared, the scary ghost aura dissipating pletely.

  "I k, how could you be ied in those vulgar women?"

  Qin Nuo eechless.

  Is this really something a sixth-grade girl would say?

  Coughing lightly, he tinued, "I'm not ied in women, just focused on studying."

  "I know, I'll wait for you. For now, just as a good friend, I'm giving you a birthday gift, is that okay?"

  Huang Xia didn't mind at all, instead being more obsessed with Li Xiaoming's persistence.

  Seeing her so easily fooled, Qin Nuo suddenly felt a bit worried.

  If Huang Xia found out Li Xiaoming not only had a girlfriend but several, and didn't accept her simply because he looked down on her, would she explode on the spot?

  Huang Xia showed no sign of doubt, taking out the gift from her hands, looking at him with great anticipation.

  This time, the gift was a red hand-woven bracelet.

  Qin Nuo didn't even g it, saying, "Just leave it on the desk, I'll sider it accepted, but don't give any more, it's annoying!"

  Such heartfelt iiohe other party didn't even look at it, and the tter words expressed immense disdain. For an ordinary girl, her heart would probably be shattered.

  But Huang Xia's thinking was the opposite of an ordinary girl; Li Xiaoming accepting it was a huge progress in her eyes.

  She waved her little hands, boung away.

  "Ding, gratutions to the pyer for achieving perfect role-pying in Huang Xia's eyes, gaining 6% role-pying degree!"

  "The colder I am to this girl, the more it fits her role-pying image, got it." Qin Nuo uood.

  Then, Qin Nuo's gaze fell on Liao .

  Liao returo his seat, seeing Qin Nuo's gaze, his face full of rese.

  Qin Nuo didn't care at all.

  What he cared about were Liao 's words.

  What exactly happened in Li Xiaoming's family back then?

  If it was just a simple case of one spouse cheating, it wouldn't be as serious as Liao made it out to be, right?

  After all, cheating isn't rare in today's society, it happens often, just treated as a sdal spread by everyone.

  "Maybe using the Eye of Analysis, I get an expnation from Li Xiaoming's family." Qin Nuo murmured.

  Uanding what happened in Li Xiaoming's family would help Qin Nuo a lot, at least allowing him to avoid many minefields and prevent exposure.

  The Eye of Analysis was indeed like a bug, but...

  Qin Nuo thought it best to wait until he got home.

  "I'm in a bit of a hurry, o use the bathroom. This Li Xiaoming, though young, seems to have frequent urination, could it be a kidney problem?"

  "Tsk, so young and already not taking care of his body." Qin Nuo shook his head, getting up and leaving the .

  Ihroom, a few deli students were hiding and smoking. Seeing Qin er, they quickly stood up, respectfully greeting, "Hello, Brother Xiaoming!"

  "All good."

  Qin Nuo hinking that if even delis were submissive to Li Xiaoming, this kid might be the big shot of the entire grade?

  Tsk, that's kind of... cool!

  After adjusting his pants, he returo the hallway.

  Absent-minded, he actally bumped into someone.

  The other person was like a wall, boung Qin Nuo bato the floor.

  Looking up, Qin Nuo saw a man standing there, about two meters tall, with a muscur build like a small giant.

  The man's skin was iron blue, covered in scars of varying degrees, and his rugged face was terrifying.

  It looked like his face had been sshed by a mountain-cleaving knife, splitting it open, the fresh red scar chilling to behold.

  "Watch where yoing, cssmate."

  The other person didn't seem angry, speaking in a hoarse voice.

  Qin Nuo stood up and said, "Sorry, are you a student?"

  He felt it was a bit absurd; the man's face, besides being terrifying, seemed quite mature, a bit aged.

  "I'm a teacher."

  The man added, then walked away.

  Qin Nuo watched the monster-like burly figure leave, thinking which css was unlucky enough to have him, just his appearance would scare many students in css, right?

  At this moment, the bell rang, and Qin Nuo hurried back to css.

  The m csses ended ufully.

  In his backpack, his mother had prepared his lunchbox.

  Opening it, the food looked delicious, but after st night's dinner, he found that no matter how delicious the food looked, it tasted pletely different in his mouth.

  It seemed not to be human food at all.

  Thinking for a moment, Qin Nuo dumped the entire lunto the trash , then took out the pressed biscuit from the system store, left over from a previous instao fill his hunger...
