Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

"Don't slander me, I'm an honest man!"

"How could they possibly be in cahoots with the fakes?"

Chen Xi offered an explanation, but it was clear that Zhou Xiaogu did not believe it.

Even Yang Wei and the painter behind her looked puzzled.

That was a look of suspicion.

After all, Chen Xi's behavior at this moment was indeed a bit problematic.

He's just like the kind of person who steps in to save their companion in a critical moment.

It's clear that everyone is waiting for Chen Xi to give an explanation, a reasonable explanation.

Instead of just shouting slogans like "I'm an honest person".

Fortunately, Chen Xi was a top student, and her mind worked at lightning speed in an emergency. In the short time it took to stop Zhou Xiaogu, she came up with a reason.

"Because he is the strongest in the sequence."

"There are only ten people in the Supreme Sequence. The King's Fist ranks 10th. There are at most ten such people in the world. They are extremely rare pseudo-humans."

"If I am killed by you just like this, it will be very, very difficult for me to find the next supreme pseudo-human, especially one that has not yet risen to power and is not strong."

"Even if Yang Wei has eyes that can see the truth, he may not be able to find a fake person who fits the criteria so well."

Sure enough, after hearing Chen Xi's reasonable words, Zhou Xiaogu's anger subsided considerably.

"The boss is brilliant!"

"A well-thought-out plan!"

Yang Wei immediately started flattering him.

The painter nodded after deep thought, looking like he had a point.

"I hope you can find him soon and take him down."

Since things had come to this point, Zhou Xiaogu had no other choice. Although it was a pity to lose the experience points from the bald fake man, it wasn't a loss for her.

On the one hand, she confirmed which side she belonged to, and on the other hand, her understanding of the world deepened.

She also mastered the method of upgrading. As long as she takes down more bald imposters and shadow imposters, she can quickly upgrade her identity.

After Zhou Xiaogu finished speaking, he walked straight to the elevator. The painter had taken the elevator earlier, so it was always on the third floor.

Zhou Xiaogu pressed a button and entered. As she turned around, the elevator doors slowly closed, her expression revealing no emotion whatsoever.

It's not that there isn't any, but rather that the other party has excellent control over it.

Showing no emotion whatsoever is a basic quality of an elite soldier.

Congratulations, Chen Xi.

"I never imagined you were the farmer Zhang Wanyi brought in."

"You're progressing incredibly fast."

"In less than a month, it was upgraded from Phase I to Phase II."

In response to the painter's praise, Chen Xi nodded:

"It was mostly luck. If the world hadn't been only the size it is now and if Yang Wei hadn't helped me, I wouldn't have encountered so many fakes and superhumans."

This is Chen Xi's honest opinion. According to calculations, a total of 56 identities have been removed so far.

The maximum number of superhumans is 348, while the number of signs of pseudo-humans is 5886.

Assuming only half of each side is awakened, the total is only a little over 2000.

Although the map has been shrunk, it's still quite difficult to encounter them.

Yang Wei chuckled at Chen Xi's exaggeration and then asked:

"Why didn't we try to stop that girl named Zhou Xiaogu? She's really strong and unconventional. It feels like our team is missing someone like her."

"I did think about it, but she's not really a good fit for a team."

"As you've probably noticed, she's better suited to solo operations, but we'll likely meet again later."

Chen Xi explained, half-jokingly.

Chen Xi had indeed considered forming a team. If the map continued to shrink, then superhumans would no longer be able to fight alone as before, but would need to form teams.

In this respect, Zhou Xiaogu is indeed the best choice.

But there was nothing he could do. His current identity was a bit strange, and if Zhou Xiaogu were by his side, Chen Xi was really afraid that the other party would kill him one day after advancing to stage II.

After all, his Phase II form doesn't have much combat power. He can still be quite powerful against Phase I forms, but he basically can't beat Phase II forms.

"How is Zhang Wanyi?"

The painter asked a question casually.

His extraordinary abilities have been quite convenient; he has recovered a lot during this period thanks to the medical equipment he drew himself.

This ability is actually quite useful; those expensive imported drugs become effective as long as you can draw them.

No wonder that bald imposter wanted to obtain this identity.

If it weren't for his ability to restrain himself, the painter might not have lost today.

"I can only say that she is still alive, but I don't know exactly where she is."

The three chatted briefly, and the painter regained his mobility, so they left the stadium together.

At a certain intersection, the three added each other on WeChat and then went their separate ways.

Perhaps it's because the painter is involved in art, but he has some rather grand ideas.

During the conversation, he explained his ideals to Chen Xi and the other person.

This applies to the worst-case scenario, where the entire world is swallowed up by the Black Tower.

He can draw a world large enough for everyone to live in.

Chen Xi didn't ask how many people were referred to here, but he gave the painter's idea a thumbs up.

Then Chen Xi and the other person walked out of the school.

As for Yang Wei's question about how to find the bald imposter, Chen Xi hadn't figured out a lie yet, so he could only continue to use another lie to cover it up:

"Everything is under control!"

......

There were no buses running at that time, so the two took a taxi back to the hotel.

The moonlight shone on Chen Xi's face, revealing his somewhat solemn expression.

How could this be...?

The mission to save the fake man hasn't disappeared yet?

And I can feel that the power within me related to my innate talent has become stronger.

In other words, this is the mission to save the fake man.

This is not a small task at all, but a huge one!

A task that, once completed, allows you to directly advance to Phase III!

The fact that his innate power has increased proves that the bald imposter has been saved by him.

But that's clearly not enough.

Chen Xi still needs to save more fake people!

The Extraordinary II stage is a stage where progress can only be increased by completing tasks.

You can't become stronger if you don't do it yourself.

If you can't get stronger, you'll eventually be discovered and killed by the fake humans as the map keeps shrinking.

But if you do it yourself, you will forcibly awaken the pseudo-human power within you!

Was I set up by someone?

This is practically a calculated scheme!

No solution!

Just then, a "buzz" sound suddenly came from Chen Xi's mind.

"Boss!"

Clearly, Yang Wei also heard the sound.

Chen Xi nodded solemnly.

"Although it's the first time it's appeared, it can't be wrong."

"This is an SOS signal from the ID card!"
