Chapter 53

Women are such a hassle.

There's nothing as fun as games.

Since my heart is already hurt, let's just get it over with.

At dawn, she stopped talking.

She stared fixedly at Lin Beichen.

Her gaze gradually, gradually... became serious.

It seemed like she was transforming into the 'domineering CEO' personality that had been above everyone else just now.

For some reason, Lin Beichen suddenly felt a bit weak in the knees.

So he said, "Well, it's like this, I really have amnesia, Ling classmate. How about this, you wait for me for a while, and when I recover my memory, I'll come find you, okay?"

This isn't cowardice.

This is from the heart.

This is kindness.

This is not wanting to hurt a young girl.

"Okay."

Ling Chen immediately smiled, happily saying, "I'm very understanding too."

Just as Lin Beichen was about to go crazy, not knowing how to continue, a middle-aged beautiful woman from the National Royal Junior College, leading a group of instructors, rushed over. She gave Lin Beichen a glare that could almost cut him to pieces, then took the young girl and turned to leave.

Lin Beichen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, the entire camp was about to explode.

What?

Ling Chen is Lin Beichen's girlfriend?

What?

Ling Chen is the one who initiated it?

What?

Yunmeng City is about to explode?

Many people felt a sense of absurdity, as if the end of the world was coming.

In the distance, in the darkness, Li Luoran from the City Lord's Mansion had a somber look, with a hint of shock and complexity on his face.

At this moment, Ding San Shi, who had been like an invisible person, suddenly jumped out, grabbed Lin Beichen by the collar without asking any questions, and dragged him back to the Third College tent.

"Explain, you explain, what's going on here?"

Ding San Shi grabbed Lin Beichen by the neck and shook him wildly.

"Cough, cough..." Lin Beichen struggled to escape from Ding San Shi's clutches and howled, "Calm down, Instructor, don't get so worked up... Don't worry, I'm a person with aspirations, I know what's important, I won't give up my pursuit of the Way of the Sword just because of some trivial love affairs. I will definitely strive to bring glory to the Third College..."

"Bullshit." Ding San Shi angrily interrupted, scolding, "The glory of the college is nothing. The key is, you absolutely cannot betray those who truly love you."

Huh?

Lin Beichen was stunned.

Wait a minute.

(To be continued, please turn the page)

Something seems off.

Instructor Ding, your stance...

You're not here to watch a melodrama, you're the instructor leading the students.

He looked at Ding San Shi in surprise.

Ding San Shi seemed to realize this, and his expression suddenly returned to normal.

He slowly released Lin Beichen, suddenly looking like a lonely and cold expert.

He tilted his head 45 degrees and looked at the moon in the sky, sighing lightly.

"Ah, Xiao Bei, you're still young, you don't understand... When you first hear a song, you don't understand its meaning, but when you hear it again, the song is over and the people are gone. Young man, there are some people who, even if you lose everything, you must not miss in this life."

Lin Beichen: "..."

I didn't realize this old man was such a literary youth.

"Instructor Ding, you have a story, tell me about it..."

Lin Beichen laughed.

"Heh heh."

Ding San Shi gave a cold laugh.

Lin Beichen said again, "Thank you."

"Huh?"

"Instructor, you pulled me back to the tent right away, were you trying to help me out of a difficult situation? So I wouldn't be so embarrassed..."

"You're overthinking it."

Ding San Shi turned and left.

He went back to his room to soak in the hot spring.

Lin Beichen was speechless.

The more he interacted with Instructor Ding, the more he felt that this instructor had the potential to be a hidden funny NPC.

At this moment, he was the only one in the tent.

The camp was surrounded by the wild roars of beasts, full of savagery.

It wasn't a hallucination, as the night grew darker, Lin Beichen felt a dangerous aura flowing through the world.

On the walls of the camp, the elite soldiers of Yunmeng Guard were on high alert, clearly much more tense than during the day.

Soon, the sound of wild beasts roaring outside the city walls could be heard, as if a beast tide was attacking the city.

The camp's mystical array was activated, forming a protective shield that enveloped everyone.

The night wilderness was indeed a forbidden zone for humans.

It was said that the darkness made the beasts frenzied, their strength increasing dramatically. The destructive power of beasts at night was more than double that of the daytime.

Because he had eaten well, he soon felt sleepy.

Lin Beichen fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, there was a sound in the tent.

It was Yue Hongxiang returning.

Faintly, Lin Beichen seemed to hear a sob, but it quickly disappeared.

Until the next morning, Mu Xinyue and Wu Xiaofang had not returned.

Lin Beichen was sleeping soundly when a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ear—

"Detected a new system version, do you want to update?"

He was startled awake and immediately crawled out of his sleeping bag.

He summoned his phone.

A large prompt box appeared on the phone's main screen.

System version update?

Lin Beichen was instantly wide awake.

He pondered the information in his mind.

Why did the phone system suddenly prompt for an update?

Was it because he had reached a certain standard, such as being the top in the mid-year competition, or perhaps because he had somehow attracted the attention of the top beauty, Ling Chen, thus unlocking certain phone permissions?

Did this mean that as long as he achieved certain accomplishments in the future, he could systematically update the phone's system version?

It was possible.

But that wasn't the most important issue.

The most important thing was, would the phone's functions change after the version update?

For example, would the app cultivation function disappear?

For example, would there be any hints about a way to return to Earth?

These thoughts flashed through Lin Beichen's mind one after another.

After careful consideration for half an hour, Lin Beichen made his decision.

He decided to update the phone's system version.

His extensive experience with various phones told him that generally, phone system updates do not change or delete existing regular functions, nor do they affect the functions of already downloaded apps; they only optimize the existing functions.

So, the app cultivation effect would likely still be retained.

Moreover, for Lin Beichen, the obsession of finding a way back to Earth still dominated his mind. Even if there was only a one percent chance of finding a way back to Earth after the system update, he was willing to take the risk.

He tapped—

'Yes'.

"Ding, special notice, this system version update will take four hours, with a content size of 1G. Please confirm that the host has sufficient data and maintain adequate battery power."

A new prompt box appeared.

Both conditions were met.

Lin Beichen tapped:

'Next'.

Instantly, the mystic energy in his body was疯狂地抽取, surging into the phone.
