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

Yang Wei and the others were all shocked, never expecting anyone to be hiding in such a smelly place.

Are they hiding to launch a sneak attack?

With this thought in mind, everyone's expressions became cautious.

"3......."

"2......."

Seeing no reaction from the garbage heap, Chen Xi started counting down; directly attacking was not in his nature.

Sure enough, under the pressure of the countdown, the garbage heap began to loosen, and a filthy figure ran out from within:

"Don't kill me!"

"I'm useful!"

"I can take you on a treasure hunt!"

The filthy man completed his self-introduction in the shortest amount of time.

"Um?"

That sound...

Chen Xi murmured to himself, looking at the other party's remaining 100 years of lifespan, and roughly judged that it was not a fake human.

In less than a second, Chen Xi suddenly remembered the owner of the voice.

"Class monitor!"

That voice belonged to Tang Zekai, the class monitor of Class 6, Grade 12.

Chen Xi's address of "class monitor" was like a switch, awakening the soul of the filthy man.

He removed the leaf from his eyelashes, a flicker of excitement appearing amidst his fear:

"Chen Xi!"

"Yan Mingliang!"

"I never expected it to be you guys! I thought you were the ones who killed me!"

At that moment, Yang Wei, who was standing nearby, exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

"What's going on?!"

"A treasure hunting expert?"

"Is this due to my background or innate talent? Or am I remembering wrong?"

"I don't remember ever seeing this name before."

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Chen Xi's eyes, but now was not the time to discuss such matters, so he waved his hand.

"Author, why don't you give him a bath first?"

"It's no big deal," the author replied, taking out his notebook and beginning to write with a soft rustling sound.

A rectangular washing machine, about three meters tall, appeared out of thin air. It extended a mechanical arm from each of its left and right sides, grabbed the squad leader, and threw him into its stomach.

Then begin filling with water and rotating.

Seeing the squad leader struggling to breathe inside, the author took something resembling a walkie-talkie from the washing machine:

"No need to hold your breath, you can breathe in this water."

5 minute later.

The washing machine gradually stopped after a series of whirring and gurgling sounds.

Two mechanical arms extended again, opened their bellies, and pulled out the squad leader.

At this moment, the squad leader was no longer a dirty homeless man, but a handsome guy with his hair full of hair gel and styling spray.

"My God, what is this thing? I almost thought I was going to drown in it."

The squad leader looked like he had just escaped a disaster.

"What happened, squad leader? And what's this treasure hunting expert?"

Looking at the clean-washed class monitor, Chen Xi knew that the other party was not a pretentious person, so she got straight to the point.

"This is it."

The class monitor opened his hand, and a card with the serial number 406 and the identity of "Treasure Hunting Expert" appeared in his palm.

No wonder I didn't know, the serial number was 406!

A small hint of doubt flashed in Chen Xi's big eyes.

Are the historical stone tablets incomplete?

No, that's impossible.

Lu Xitong later said that there were only 405 serial numbers, so where did the 406 come from?

But now the facts are right in front of him, and Chen Xi has no choice but to admit it.

Yang Wei and the others fell silent after seeing the number 406. Like Chen Xi, they all assumed that there were only 405 identities.

The appearance of serial number 406, "Treasure Hunting Expert," is like irrefutable evidence, forcing Chen Xi and others to wonder if their understanding had been altered by the Black Tower.

The cognitive modification is limited to before awakening. Working backward, the Black Tower wants everyone, including those who awaken later, to believe that the last person in this world with the serial number 405 is the "cleaner".

But what is the significance of this?

For a moment, Chen Xi really couldn't figure it out.

"Chen Xi, is there any way we can leave the Black Tower?"

The class monitor, unaware of anything amiss among the others, took it for granted and then briefly recounted his own experience.

Chen Xi initially thought that the class monitor's experience was similar to that of Tyson Bolt, both of them struggling and eventually becoming timid and submissive.

But reality was far more exciting than Chen Xi had imagined.

The class monitor did indeed enter the Black Tower in a conventional manner, and then awaken in a conventional manner.

However, he encountered a major event.

In the class monitor's narration, there was a person who claimed to be the sixth symbol, saying that he was the one who symbolized "uniqueness".

This symbol is meant to kill the squad leader.

The reason for killing the squad leader was that he did not meet the sole criterion.

Then something happened that shocked Chen Xi.

The squad leader actually escaped from the symbol!

Of course, it wasn't by his own efforts.

The appearance of a ghost rescued the class monitor.

And Chen Xi actually recognized this ghost.

He was none other than Li Jibin, the homeroom teacher of Chen Xi, class monitor, and Yan Mingliang!

The class monitor's understanding of the extraordinary world came from the homeroom teacher, which can be considered as instruction from a different world.

Chen Xi learned from the class monitor's account that the homeroom teacher did not commit murder, but rather suicide.

If a "mage" commits suicide, there is a 10% chance that they will become a "necromancer".

The homeroom teacher said that this was the only one among all the identities that could be considered a job change.

The homeroom teacher at the time chose to commit suicide when he was about to be murdered, which triggered the 10% who were able to survive.

Finally, complete the "Necromancer" quest, upgrade to Tier III "Death Lord", and enter the Black Tower.

The homeroom teacher used his identity as the "Death Lord" to save the class monitor from "Only".

Chen Xi was still very curious about this. To be honest, the difference between the Extraordinary Level III and the Symbol could be described as worlds apart.

Even if the progress is 100%, it can't be faked, after all, that's an existence that surpasses the ultimate fake human.

However, Chen Xi understood after the class monitor's subsequent explanation.

The reason the homeroom teacher was able to save the class monitor from the symbol was entirely due to the identity of the "Death Lord".

This identity holds immense power over those who have just died or are about to die.

The class monitor was on the verge of death when the homeroom teacher put him into a state of suspended animation, which saved him from certain death.

As Chen Xi had predicted, a frontal rescue was unlikely.

As for what happened next, the homeroom teacher did not leave with the class monitor, but chose to leave alone.

It's not that the homeroom teacher was heartless.

The homeroom teacher's exact words were, "If the class monitor follows me, he'll only die faster."

Because the homeroom teacher is preparing to break through to the realm of sainthood!

Becoming a necromancer will double your leveling speed.

In addition, this land is safe from misfortune unless you are a Tier III. For the class monitor, everywhere is a safe zone. It is indeed better not to follow the class teacher.

As long as we don't encounter that sixth symbol, "uniqueness," again, it's fine.

The class monitor, on the other hand, uses his extraordinary ability, the "Treasure-Hunting Rat," to search for treasure in this world, to see if good fortune will surely follow after surviving such a close call.

The result was not satisfactory. The class monitor also tried to form a team, and several times they were almost killed by dangers or strangers in the safe zone.

This is how I developed the habit of hiding at the slightest sign of trouble.

As for why a mere Rank I class monitor could spot Chen Xi ahead of time, it's because his extraordinary ability, [Treasure-Hunting Rat], sensed the treasure approaching him.

The fact that treasures don't grow legs suggests that the person approaching is the owner of the treasure.

That's why they hid beforehand.

This concludes the squad leader's experience in the Black Tower.

"A treasure-hunting rat, is it...?"

Chen Xi murmured.

This so-called treasure should be Chen Xi and his group, but it's unclear what exactly it is.

"Class monitor, summon the Treasure-Hunting Mouse again. I want to confirm what its so-called treasure is."
