All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

"Contacting an ancient god is no different from seeking death, unless you can find an ancient god who is truly kind. Have you found such an ancient god?"

"No, all the information I have obtained so far shows that the ancient gods are evil. The rituals to communicate with them are basically similar to blood sacrifices. I haven't found any real good gods, but it doesn't matter. I believe the copy prompts are not false. I will find them if I look carefully."

"Brother Wang, you are so optimistic... But if you don't clear this instance, you won't survive long if you stay here. I will accompany you to the end! What are your plans next?"

"Continue to collect intelligence. This copy is essentially a copy for collecting intelligence. I will use some new methods to achieve my goal. I estimate that progress will be made soon."

"What new method?"

"You'll find out soon."

In the alley of the town in the copy world, after Wang Zhifan had a conversation with Huang Neng, who was smoking and looking a little worried, he started an operation he had put aside for a long time, which was to choose a copy identity.

He focused his attention on "Archaeologist" in the identity selection panel and quickly confirmed this unprecedented profession.

For a moment, his appearance did not change, but a lot of new information appeared in his mind, including the locations of many ancient ruins, the basic knowledge of archaeologists, and some interpersonal networks brought by this identity.

This was not the first time he had experienced something like this, but he had to admit that every time he acquired a new identity, he could not help but marvel at the power of the extraordinary game that could insert him into an unfamiliar social system out of thin air.

"Okay, let's go now."

After completing the identity selection, Wang Zhifan spoke to Huang Neng, who was smoking and thinking beside him, which made the melancholy young man suddenly look confused.

"What's done?"

Huang Neng asked in confusion.

"Of course it's a channel to obtain information about the ancient gods! Come with me!"

After saying that, Wang Zhifan waved his hand and quickly walked out of the alley.

Huang Neng, who was smoking, was even more confused when he saw this, but he quickly put out his cigarette and followed.

Before long, the two men passed through the somewhat familiar town streets and came to an area of ​​buildings with a serious style. Huang Neng looked left and right and found that this was a medium-sized college. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether Wang Zhifan was planning to search for information in this place.

However, Wang Zhifan did not stop nor make any preparation for stealth. He brushed past the students and professors in the college as if he was a familiar face, nodded from time to time, entered a small building in the college, went up the stairs directly to the third floor, came to a small empty office and pushed the door open.

"Brother Wang, how do you know the door is not locked?"

Huang Neng followed all the way and had no idea what Wang Zhifan was doing, or why he broke into a college so brazenly and no one came to stop this stranger.

"Because this is my territory, please take a seat."

Wang Zhifan showed a matter-of-fact look after hearing this, and sat down on the classical wooden chair with soft velvet. He raised his hand and asked Huang Neng, who was standing and looking around in confusion, to sit on the chair opposite the table.

"..."

Huang Neng suddenly felt a little speechless. He wanted to complain that someone who broke into the academy was too arrogant. He estimated in his mind that someone would come to expel him in a few minutes.

Wang Zhifan didn't want to explain too much, and said directly:
"Brother Huang, from now on, I am Professor Wang of the Archaeology Department of this college, and you are my newly hired personal assistant. Don't forget to cooperate when someone comes later."

"Ah? Brother, what are you doing?"

Huang Neng, who was already speechless, became even more confused when he heard these words from Wang Zhifan, who was sitting in the chair behind the antique desk.

He looked puzzled and began to suspect whether someone had taken the wrong medicine and ran into an empty office with the intention of occupying the office. This behavior was no longer confusing; it was simply unbelievable.

However, by coincidence, at this moment, Huang could hear the footsteps of several people coming up the stairs at the corner outside the office. He had a good sense of perception and judged from details such as the pace of these people and the focus of their vision that they were most likely coming towards this office.

"Someone is coming! Hide quickly!"

Huang Neng immediately and decisively entered the invisible state, and at the same time did not forget to remind Wang Zhifan who was sitting behind the desk.

Wang Zhifan was naturally unmoved. He picked up a thick book on the desk with ease and began to read it carefully, not caring at all that several NPCs were about to arrive.

So, a few seconds later, in the worried sight of the invisible Huang Neng, four young NPCs with student-like temperament, two men and two women, appeared at the door of the office.

The four NPCs' eyes lit up when they saw Wang Zhifan sitting in the office reading a book. Then they walked into the office and said excitedly:
"Professor Wang!"

"Professor Wang, you are really back!"

"Professor Wang! We missed you so much!"

……

Wang Zhifan, who was sitting behind his desk reading a book, raised his head very gracefully, smiled and replied to the four students:

"My students! Long time no see!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the desk to greet the four excited students, the four students who were assigned to him by Super Game, and hugged them one by one.

At this moment, Huang Neng, who was invisible in the office, only felt a faint rumbling sound in his brain. He found that he no longer understood this world and began to wonder if he had entered some kind of illusion. Otherwise, why did his partner suddenly become a college professor? This was beyond his normal cognition.

"No, just before these NPCs came, Brother Wang told me to call him Professor Wang and that I was his assistant. This means he already knew that I was a professor! He must have used some kind of identity card!"

Huang Neng is indeed a high-level player. Although he is not doing well, his experience is not comparable to that of low-level players. After a brief shock, he reacted and guessed what was going on.

Then he immediately slipped out of the office silently, and turned back to normal in the blind spot of everyone's vision outside the office. Although Wang Zhifan was communicating with four NPC students at the moment, he also noticed Huang Neng's behavior through his perception, and understood that Huang Neng had figured out what was going on and was ready to cooperate with him.

The students in the office were unaware of the existence of the sixth person. At this moment, they were discussing the things that concerned them most with Professor Wang, whom they had not seen for a long time.

"Professor, I have completed the research report on the topic you gave me last time. The report is on your desk. Please review it as soon as possible."

This is a burly and strong male student wearing glasses, named Luke. He has a contradictory temperament that combines violence and knowledge. He really wants to get Wang Zhifan's evaluation of his research report.

"Okay, Luke, I'll take a look at your report right away. In the meantime, I'll have a new task for you."

Wang Zhifan responded with a smile, glanced at the other people around him, and began to prepare to release the task.

"Professor, what's the new assignment? You didn't give me any research assignments last time, and I'm getting annoyed from reading so much every day."

A cute girl with fashionable clothes and beautiful blonde hair asked curiously. Her name was Alice. She came from the best family among Wang Zhifan's students, and she studied archaeology purely out of interest.

"Haha, Alice, don't worry, this new mission will definitely meet your requirements. There will be an outing for inspection, and you will definitely have a great time then."

Wang Zhifan said this and returned to his seat behind his desk. He took out a thick stack of paper reports from the table and began to look through them.

"Going out for field research?! Great! Professor, you're finally willing to take us out with you! We can finally study real archaeology!"

When the blonde female student Alice heard this, she almost jumped up with joy.

But a thin and plain-looking male student next to her frowned and asked Wang Zhifan:
"Professor, how many days will this field trip last? If it takes too long, I may not be able to participate because I am working at a newspaper and it is difficult to take a long vacation now..."

The person who was speaking was named Allen. He was the student with the most difficult family background among Wang Zhifan's students, but he was also the most hardworking and talented. It was said that he not only worked outside every day, but also studied for two degrees at the same time. He was a top student who should not be underestimated.

"This field mission is expected to last for a long time, but don't worry, Alan. I have applied for funding from outside the hospital. As long as you participate, all of you can receive a generous allowance, specifically 3600 silver ar per person per month. I believe this money will greatly ease the pressure on your family."

Wang Zhifan looked at Allen, who was thin and ordinary-looking, and said with a smile.

According to the information about him in his identity memory, he will definitely take him out, because this student is a veritable genius in ancient studies, has a deep understanding of ancient mysticism including ancient gods, and can play a key role in the exploration process.

"3600 silver ar per person per month? Professor, which organization is so generous? Didn't you say before that it was difficult for our college to attract external funding? Has a new wave of archaeology emerged?"

When Alan heard this, he looked a little confused, but also a little excited.

Wang Zhifan saw this and knew that this talented student was short of money. 3600 silver ar was very attractive to him and was enough to make him quit his job temporarily.

"Haha, Alan, I can't reveal this because of the contract, but don't worry, we are not short of money at the moment. If you are in a hurry, I will give you a month's allowance tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he looked at the last female student among the four, a tall young woman with waist-length hair but almost no sense of presence. She was a very introverted student who almost never spoke on her own initiative.

"Marina, what you have in your hand is the paper I asked you to write last time, right? Now that you have finished it, put it on the table. I will mark it as soon as I finish reading Luke's."

As Wang Zhifan spoke, the tall female student with long hair responded in a mosquito-like voice, as if a vague ghost walked forward, and placed the paper paper in her hand on Wang Zhifan's desk almost without making a sound, then lightly retreated behind the other three people, hiding her presence again.

"Genius, this Marina is definitely a genius at being an assassin. I almost ignored her when she was standing in front of me in broad daylight."

When this thought came to his mind, Wang Zhifan began to multitask. He continued to review and comment on Luke's research report while chatting with the students. The atmosphere in the office remained quite lively.

Since the students were more concerned about the specific details of the field trip, Wang Zhifan talked to them and said that their project required investigating several relics related to the ancient belief in gods, and asked them to make corresponding preparations. He then specifically mentioned that an assistant would join in to pave the way for Huang Neng's appearance.

Huang Neng had actually been eavesdropping outside the door during this period. He had originally planned to come in earlier, but he found that Wang Zhifan was chatting a lot with the students, so he didn't want to interrupt them and did not come in.

Now that Wang Zhifan mentioned him, he received the signal and knew that he could show up at the right time. Finally, he showed up when Wang Zhifan had reviewed all the students' homework and were about to leave.

This way all four students can get to know him, but not interact with him so much that he becomes overwhelmed.

However, after the four students left, Huang Neng opened up a conversation with Wang Zhifan, who had led everything just now, and began to ask questions.

"Brother Wang, you suddenly became a professor here. Did you use the ID card prop?"

"That's pretty much it."

"I just heard you say outside that you wanted to take them out for an inspection. Is this really necessary? In my perception, these people are just ordinary people. If something happens, they won't be able to help, and they will be easily implicated."

"It is necessary. They are all students of the Department of Archaeology. They know more about ancient gods than we do. They will be very useful in the process of investigation. In addition, some rituals related to ancient gods are difficult to complete by one person. Having more people to help can save a lot of trouble."

"So you plan to take these NPCs to visit the ancient ruins one by one? I think this is too crazy. I think it's better to stay here and wait for death..."

"No, Brother Huang, we must screen before we explore. We will stay away from those ancient gods with bad reputations, and only explore those that are relatively normal in the records. Of course, most ancient gods are a bit dark, and it is wishful thinking for you to visit a real good god. There will always be some risks."

"I still feel that your plan is very unreliable..."

"Then Brother Huang, you will do the logistics work. For example, the team is short of funds now, and we are counting on you to help fill the gap as soon as possible."

"Ah? You didn't get those silver ar you mentioned just now?"

"Of course not. You bought me coffee yesterday. I spent the whole night in the library. I just sneaked in without paying. I only learned about the local currency system after hearing some NPC discussions."

"Well, it's not difficult for me to make money in this world. I'm going to find some fat sheep to kill now." (End of this chapter)
