He glanced around; he was lying in a simple cabin on the pirate ship with a makeshift bed. He walked out of the cabin and onto the deck.

As dawn broke over the Western Capital, the sunset painted Arano with magnificent colors.

He took out his satellite phone, but no one called him, and the pirates guarding the pirate ship didn't seem to have anything to report to him.

It seemed like just another ordinary seven hours had passed, and nothing had happened.

Having experienced so much in the dungeon world, He Ao felt as if he had been transported to another world when he saw the main world before him.

He looked at the satellite phone, selected a number, and was about to dial when he paused.

In a fleeting moment, he vaguely heard some indistinct, chaotic babbling.

He was familiar with this murmur; after each C-level promotion, he would hear such vague and faint murmurs.

However, that was in a dungeon world.

There will be one more update, which should be in the afternoon during the day. I've been sorting out the plot for a long time today, and I finally have some ideas.

These delirious murmurs came quickly and went quickly.

He Ao was only in a brief daze before the silence returned to his ears.

Am I imagining things?

He frowned and waited a moment.

The soft murmur never returned.

Logically speaking, given his current mental strength, he shouldn't easily have misperceptions.

He pondered for a moment, suppressing his doubts.

In the dungeon world, all C-rank characters would hear similar murmurs. If the murmurs just now really happened, then it's impossible that only he heard them. We can ask Yang De and the C-rank characters on Alano's side later.

He looked at the satellite phone in his hand and dialed the number.

"Hello," the call was answered quickly, "Hello, Mr. Hu Wen? What can I do for you?"

On the other end of the phone was Nordin, Dawn's contact in Al-Arano and Hoo.

"You mentioned before that your superior, the Dawn's head in Alano, is called the Mystic? Can I meet him?"

He asked softly.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, followed by an apologetic laugh, "Mr. Hu Wen, the sorcerer is out on some business these past few days. How about we reschedule? I'll contact you when he gets back."

"Ok?"

He Ao raised an eyebrow.

He had already met the 'boss' behind Notting last time, the B-level who was suspected of taking the Tower's core processor.

Logically speaking, he is now considered one of the "bosses'" subordinates. As a C-level, he should not be refused when he wants to pay respects to another C-level subordinate under the same boss, especially one in the same area.

Unless it's a show of force.

However, this is unlikely, as such a practice is too low-level and could easily embarrass the 'boss' above.

He Ao wasn't some new recruit; he was a genuine C-rank, and his combat strength was among the top in the C-rank.

“Mr. Hu Wen, I’m so sorry, the sorcerer really had something to attend to and just left. It was arranged by the boss. I’ll contact him as soon as he gets back so he can come see you.”

Upon hearing Heo's puzzled voice, Nordin on the other end of the phone quickly apologized.

"Trying to pressure me with the boss?"

He Ao said coldly.

“No, no,” Nordin quickly said, “it’s true, the arcane mage left on a mission.”

"Then send me a copy of the arcane mage's information."

He Ao spoke calmly, revealing no emotion.

“Mr. Hu Wen, I don’t have any information on the esoteric master either.”

Nordin's voice became even more uneasy, "The arcane mage is highly regarded by the boss. He always conceals his identity when he goes out. I can't see what he looks like, and I don't have any detailed information about him."

"Did he say how long he would be gone or what he would be doing?"

He Ao calmly pressed for an answer.

"This is a secret..."

"Ok?"

“He just left this afternoon. He said he would be gone for about three to five days to go to the Tia Empire. He sounded rushed, as if he had just received the order.”

"anything else?"

"Also... he told me not to contact him, that I might lose contact after I went there, and that if I couldn't reach him, I shouldn't panic, and that he would contact me as soon as I got back."

"Alright then, I'll visit him another day."

He Ao hung up the phone.

He could sense Nordin's unease; being caught between two superiors was the most difficult kind of life.

Of course, he didn't really have a problem with Notting; he was just putting pressure on him by making an impossible request, and then backing down so he could get information that wouldn't normally be easy to obtain.

As a 'newcomer,' Notting was still wary of him, and wouldn't give him this information if he asked directly.

By first making a reasonable but unrealistic request, you can rationalize an unreasonable but achievable request.

The 'boss' behind the arcane mage, who brought out the central processing unit from the ruins, must have discovered something, which is why he suddenly ordered the arcane mage to 'go on a business trip'.

The mages are people valued by the 'boss', and for this reason, the mages are even allowed to conceal their identities.

The fact that he arranged for the sorcerer to drop what he was doing to do this shows that this matter is very important to him, but he is unable to participate in it himself for some reason.

Satellite phones are now very advanced; they have a signal in any relatively open area.

Satellite phones cannot be used to make calls only in places with strong signal obstruction, such as a very deep cave or a place with obvious signal interference.

However, you should know whether there is a signal in these places before you go there.

The sorcerer's tone suggested uncertainty.

In other words, he didn't know the specifics of that place before he went there.

No one has ever been to that place before, so there's no experience there?

He realized he had come across something secret, but he had too little information to deduce it.

He sighed and walked towards the shore.

Alano's influence can be maintained; having this identity can resolve many issues.

At this moment, He Ao's true form had finished breakfast and entered the school.

"Hey, over here!"

Yuan Nannan raised her advanced mathematics book and waved.

During this period, Liu Nan and Yuan Nannan basically sat next to him in class, and the three of them had gotten used to it over time.

Liu Nan hadn't arrived yet, so Yuan Nannan sat in a seat at the back, occupying an empty seat nearby.

This is a lesson on advanced mathematics.

Xidu University is a prestigious university, but that doesn't stop everyone from vying for the last row during advanced mathematics classes.

In advanced mathematics classes, the first two rows and the last two rows are always the first to fill up.

Those who wanted to play hard tried desperately to get closer to the teacher, while those who wanted to slack off tried desperately to get further away from the teacher.

The professor He Ao chose for this advanced mathematics class was on Xidu University's course selection whitelist and was known for not failing students, not taking attendance, and giving high grades.

During the final exam, no matter what, he will try his best to raise your score to 60. Moreover, he is humorous and interesting in class and likes to use cartoons as examples.

He Ao calmly walked to Yuan Nannan's side, and the students around him naturally made way for him.

"Hurry, He Ao, did you do the homework you assigned last class? It's due today, so let me copy it."

Before He Ao could even sit down properly, Yuan Nannan hurriedly asked.

When He Ao first met Yuan Nannan, she was still somewhat influenced by the rumors and didn't dare to talk to He Ao much.

.

However, after attending one or two classes together, she became very outgoing and friendly.

"Isn't there an answer key at the back of the book?"

He Ao put down his schoolbag with some doubt and took out his advanced mathematics book and workbook.

"Holy crap, is that the answer key?"

Yuan Nannan snatched the workbook from He Ao's hand while cursing, then casually flipped to the answer key at the back of her calculus book.

"Look, the first question, the answer is -ln2 (process omitted), the reference answer only gives the answer, right? And look at this one, it's even worse, the third question: omitted."

He won't even give me an answer!

He Ao shook his head and smiled helplessly, then took out his stationery and notebook, placed his phone on the table, and sat down.

At this moment, Yuan Nannan, who had already started copying furiously, suddenly looked up at him with some confusion, then lowered her head again to continue copying.

Her hands moved with lightning speed. Class was about to start, and the teaching assistant usually collected homework before class. She was pressed for time and had to make the most of every second.

Just then, He Ao felt the noisy classroom fall silent for a brief moment.

Then came a series of light footsteps.

He Ao didn't look up, but continued to preview today's lessons.

"Hey, you seem a little different today."
