Chapter 7

Yan Yun High School's 40th Anniversary Celebration. The principal waved his hand, and all grades and classes participated, preparing to leave a deep impression on all the students and the nearby residents who came to participate.

Almost all the students were cheering, as a day of relaxation in the high-pressure learning environment was too blissful for them.

However, the special admission students thought otherwise. Because the most troublesome tasks were all dumped on them.

"Am I not working hard outside school to pay for my tuition at Yan Yun High School? Why do I have to work here as well without any pay!" A student surnamed Li complained loudly at the venue where He Feng's class was located.

Noticing He Feng's unfriendly gaze in his chef's uniform, Li Changhe clicked his tongue and said, "Alright, Box, a bowl of yogurt. This is our class's hot dog, let's trade."

He Feng continued to remain silent, only making a 'tsk' sound after Li Changhe gradually walked away.

The celebration activities were enjoyable only for the wealthy students, while the special admission students had to help out in their respective class activities.

For example, in He Feng's class, Grade 3, Class 5. The activity was to make pastries, so He Feng became the head chef. He had been sitting at the venue for a long time.

Seeing Li Changhe carrying a large plate of hot dogs, trading food and drinks with other classes.

His mindset subtly changed.

"Phew, I haven't identified any [Players] yet." Li Changhe wasn't just wandering around aimlessly.

According to the [Forum], the [Evolution Game] sometimes randomly selects outstanding individuals from a certain area or industry to become [Players].

And at Yan Yun High School, the outstanding individuals would be the 'commoners' first. After all, except for their poor family backgrounds, they were mostly top performers in some aspect.

But Li Changhe had circled around and didn't see anyone suspicious. Either he guessed wrong, or their acting skills were too high.

"Whatever, I didn't expect to find them so easily." Li Changhe muttered to himself and hid in the school's art gallery.

To finish his work early, Li Changhe made a thousand hot dogs in three hours, then traded shifts with others. The reason he gave was hard to refuse.

"Taking my girlfriend for a walk." That's what he said, though the classmate who traded with him looked doubtful, as if saying, "Can a guy like you even have a girlfriend?"

As for any rumors that might arise, Li Changhe didn't care. There was nothing to worry about anyway...

[5 minutes until the mission starts]

Li Changhe changed into a disguise in a room in the art gallery. Counter-terrorist, defense cos. This was something left over from a previous cosplay event, and he didn't expect it to be useful here.

After confirming in the mirror that he wouldn't be recognized, he sat comfortably in the corner and waited for the time to pass.

This room had long been abandoned and used as a storage room. According to the [Mission] explanation, no matter how long the mission lasted, in reality, it would only be an instant. There was no problem.

"First mission, a bit excited." Li Changhe chuckled, and his vision flashed.

[Mission starts]

When Li Changhe opened his eyes again, he was in a night-time school campus.

If you looked closely, you could still find some characteristics of the old Yan Yun campus, but it was more dilapidated.

It seemed as if time had moved forward by several decades. The walls were covered with ivy, all the windows were dirty and obstructed the view, and the surrounding greenery was deformed. The entrance to the teaching building looked like a blood-red mouth waiting for prey.

The old campus was surrounded by black fog, which should be the edge of the mission area.

Li Changhe was at the entrance of the old campus, and there were four others besides him.

This [Mission] involved 5 [Players]!

Each person was scrutinizing the others. The first person Li Changhe noticed was a middle-aged, muscular man with a square face, one of the only two people who didn't cover their faces.

His face was cold and sharp, exuding a sense of righteousness. He wore a black trench coat, which made him look even more stern.

Although his appearance and demeanor had changed somewhat, Li Changhe still recognized him as Yang Dong! He didn't even bother to hide his face, revealing his identity directly.

"Great Wall Player, Mossy Path." He chuckled, and his [Player Nameplate] appeared above his head.

Level 7 [Battle Fortress. Mossy Path]

The title before the nickname should be the [Title] that unlocks at Level 5.

The second person, also not covering his face, was another middle-aged man. Compared to Yang Dong, he looked kind and had a plump build. He wore a large jacket that made him look even more amiable.

He didn't evoke any hostility.

"You can call me Red Dust." Red Dust glanced at Yang Dong and nodded with a smile. Yang Dong nodded back, indicating that the [Great Wall] had a good reputation among players.

Level 6 [Smiling Ghost Buddha. Red Dust]

The third person was a man in full Western armor, with a face mask. A buzzing sound came from his helmet: "Greetings, everyone. Independent Player, Earth Knight. Just call me Earth."

Level 4 [Earth Knight]

The last person was a tall girl in a black trench coat similar to Yang Dong's.

However, the hood of the trench coat obscured her face. It was some kind of technology.

Even with [Eagle Eye], Li Changhe could only see a dark blur.

But he didn't need to guess who she was. Her posture and aura confirmed that she was Xiao Nan. After all, he had known her for over ten years and was quite familiar with her.

"Great Wall Player, Laughing Gentleman." The girl's voice was altered to sound somewhat neutral.

Level 5 [Demon God Baen. Laughing Gentleman]

Li Changhe took a deep breath, not expecting his childhood friend to be at Level 5, meaning she had participated in several [Missions] already.

And the title was quite impressive.

But [Red Dust] noticed and his pupils contracted: "This... Is this the loot from the Solomon script that the [Great Wall] obtained? I heard you had intense battles with the Western [Sanctuary] in the script. The forum has been speculating about how many sets of magical armor you obtained. I didn't expect to see one here."

Yang Dong smiled faintly but didn't respond.

Then everyone looked at Li Changhe. In terms of attire, he was the most abnormal.

Li Changhe was dressed in a defender cosplay outfit, but he wore a dog head mask.

Dressed properly, but who knows if the person is proper?

Seeing everyone's gaze, Li Changhe didn't speak but pressed a button on the dog head mask's collar.

"I am Thor, for the glory of the Northern Gods!" The mask emitted a synthesized voice that made people laugh.

"Thor my ass!" The others mentally ridiculed. Even Yang Dong was a bit stunned.

But it wasn't surprising; new players being cautious was normal. This mission was a wide-area trigger mission.

The others had no objections. After all, compared to being traced and caught, not revealing one's appearance and voice was the best choice. Li Changhe even hid his voice.

Li Changhe also revealed his [Player Nameplate].

Level 1 [Eight Directions Master]
