Chapter 1

Lei Ke stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly held the letter containing the secret that his mother had given him.

In the classroom, a woman in her twenties, wearing a blue and white Taoist robe, was tapping the blackboard with one hand and shouting at the sleeping teenager at the back of the room.

Lei Ke, still half-asleep, was nudged awake by his desk partner, Pang Ya, who used her thick arm to push him.

Lei Ke suddenly stood up and looked at the podium.

His high school homeroom teacher, 'Cruel Taoist Nun,' was glaring at him.

"That's not right. I'm about to graduate from university. I just went to a job fair yesterday and submitted my resume. How did I end up back in a high school classroom?

' Cruel Taoist Nun' was the nickname they gave to the homeroom teacher in high school. Why is she really wearing a Taoist robe and has a bun on her head now?

This must be a dream. It must be." Lei Ke muttered to himself, looking around the classroom.

He noticed that the desks and seats of his classmates were not filled with books but with various cold weapons, such as swords, spears, and clubs.

At the back, under the seat of the chubby classmate, there were two enormous hammers.

The classmates were not wearing school uniforms but costumes that resembled anime characters and fighting suits.

Lei Ke's mind was struggling to keep up with the situation.

"Can't answer, Lei Ke?

How dare you sleep in my class! Don't you know that if you don't work hard to master the basics now, a small mistake in the 'Across the Heavens Online' game, when you traverse to a different world, could cost you your life?

Not to mention defending our Earth and participating in the Chaos Battlefield—"

The female Taoist on the podium began to shout.

"Cruel Taoist Nun, I didn't expect to see you in my dream. It feels so real. What did you ask?" Lei Ke laughed, looking at the teacher.

Since it was a dream and he knew it was a dream, Lei Ke was no longer afraid of his high school homeroom teacher.

Hearing Lei Ke's words, the female Taoist teacher on the podium turned pale with anger. She was furious that a student had the audacity to give her such an insulting nickname.

The female Taoist on the podium gritted her teeth, her expression as if she wanted to devour Lei Ke alive.

"If you traverse to a different world, how can you obtain more rewards? If you can't answer, you'll spend the rest of this semester, over two months, in the hospital." The female Taoist said, her teeth grinding together.

Lei Ke clearly remembered that the grinding of teeth was a habitual sign of the homeroom teacher's anger in high school.

The students in the classroom were now holding their breath, looking at Lei Ke with sympathetic eyes.

"To traverse to a different world, I've studied this. First, you need to disguise yourself as a local resident and find a way to survive.

Second, find a beautiful female lord or a powerful woman in the different world. No matter how you trick or deceive her, make her your wife. After that, whether you live a carefree life or seek more rewards, it will become much easier.

Of course, I can't let myself suffer. The beauty of the woman I marry in the different world must be higher than that of the class beauty, Xiao Bing. Her skin must be softer and more elastic to the touch."

Lei Ke said, getting up from his seat at the back of the classroom.

Under the astonished gazes of his classmates and the teacher, Lei Ke actually walked to the front of the classroom, to the seat of the class beauty, Xiao Bing, and sat on her desk.

Lei Ke raised his right hand and pinched the face of the class beauty, Xiao Bing.

"Ouch!" the class beauty exclaimed.

Lei Ke felt the touch was quite pleasant, smooth and cool. Then he raised his left hand, intending to grab further.

The class beauty, Xiao Bing, screamed in fear, leaning back in her chair to avoid Lei Ke's groping.

The homeroom teacher on the podium reacted, furious. She raised her right hand, and a white light flashed rapidly.

Lei Ke felt a heavy impact on his body.

"It hurts!" He was directly thrown out of the window, fortunately, the window was open.

"Bang!" Lei Ke's body fell straight from the second-floor window, landing heavily on the ground.

"Ouch!" "So painful, the sensation of falling and the pain are too real. Could it be that I'm not dreaming? Why does it hurt so much?" Lei Ke thought in confusion before losing consciousness.

---

When Lei Ke woke up again, he found himself lying in the dormitory, with bandages on his leg.

"Bro Lei, I admire you. You're not the third anymore; the position of the dormitory leader is yours now.

Tell me, how did it feel to touch Xiao Bing's face?" A tall, muscular man, about 1.9 meters tall, leaned in close to the just-awake Lei Ke, his expression lecherous.

Lei Ke remembered that this muscular man was assigned to their dormitory in the third year of high school and had already been held back for a year. 'Muscular Man' was his nickname.

When the muscular man first moved into their dormitory, Lei Ke and the other three were a bit afraid of him.

But after a few months of living together, they got along well. He was a good person and took care of his roommates, not in terms of studies, but when there were conflicts with other classes, the 1.9-meter-tall muscular man would appear, and the other classes wouldn't dare to say anything more.

Lei Ke felt his leg, which was still numb, and he was a bit confused.

The fourth roommate, a thin and weak boy nicknamed 'Slim Monkey,' also came over, noticing that Lei Ke was staring at his leg in a daze.

"Bro Lei, you should thank Muscular Man.

When he saw you being thrown out of the window by the Cruel Taoist Nun, he quickly slipped out of the back door, carried you while you were unconscious, and took you to the school medical room.

Fortunately, both the priest and the traditional Chinese doctor for bone setting were on duty today. They set your bones and cast a初级恢复术 (初级恢复术 means '初级' - primary, '恢复术' - recovery spell, so it translates to '初级恢复术' - '初级' - primary, '恢复术' - recovery spell, so it translates to 'primary recovery spell') on you.

Your leg is saved, and there won't be any aftereffects.

You can walk tomorrow, but the priest said you shouldn't engage in strenuous activities for the next few days." Slim Monkey said, looking at Lei Ke with a 'you're lucky' expression.

"You two are here, where's the chubby one?" Lei Ke thought of the second roommate, a chubby boy weighing over 200 pounds.

Slim Monkey and Muscular Man looked at each other and moved aside, allowing Lei Ke to see the opposite bed.

A chubby boy, wrapped in bandages like a fat mummy, was lying on the bed.

"Lei Ke, carrying you was easy, but carrying this chubby one nearly killed me. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to carry him." Muscular Man laughed, pointing to the chubby boy on the bed.

The chubby boy's face was wrapped in bandages, but his mouth, which was visible, smiled.

"What happened to the chubby one? What happened?" Lei Ke looked at the chubby boy, who was severely injured, in surprise.

Although Lei Ke hadn't fully figured out the current situation, he had a vague feeling that he might have crossed into a parallel world.

This parallel world was somewhat different from the one he had lived in before.

Slim Monkey looked at the chubby boy with disdain. "He was just following your example. After you were thrown out of the window by the Cruel Taoist Nun, the classroom was calm for two periods.

But during the third period this afternoon, which was the homeroom teacher's class again, many boys who had a crush on the class beauty, Xiao Bing, started to follow your example and reached out to touch her.

The Cruel Taoist Nun injured fifteen students in one class.

Our second roommate, the chubby one, had too much lust. After being thrown out once, he secretly crawled back to touch Xiao Bing's leg and was caught by the homeroom teacher in a rage, resulting in this.

Fortunately, Muscular Man saw the situation was critical and, after the homeroom teacher stopped, carried the second roommate to the medical room.

Otherwise, the second roommate wouldn't be lying in the dormitory; he would probably be in the hospital for a long time." Slim Monkey said.
