Survival in the Class: I'm the Only Boy on the Bus

Upon hearing the server-wide announcement, Zhang Zizhong abruptly turned to look at Jiang Chen, who was surrounded by girls rubbing against him.

Especially the yandere Fei Xue, she often took advantage of the crowd to deliberately or unintentionally grope Jiang Chen...

Zhang Zizhong's eyes widened in disbelief. He was shocked by the "43999" incident, not by Jiang Chen being surrounded by beautiful women.

"No?! You're 43999?"

As soon as Zhang Zizhong said this, the girls all quieted down.

They didn't quite understand what Grandpa Zhang was surprised about.

But they were very considerate and made way for Jiang Chen to walk towards Zhang Zizhong.

At this moment, Jiang Chen had Bai Nuonuo, a little accessory, on his shoulder. He held Lu Wanzhou's small hand with his left hand and hugged the sickly Fei Xue with his right.

On the left, there was a long-legged school beauty in black stockings; on the right, a yandere with heart eyes; a cute little girl draped over her shoulder; and a group of top beauties as fierce as wolves followed by her.

Who wouldn't be confused by this?!

Everyone who sees this must praise it highly:

"That's like a bomb hidden in a heifer—absolutely amazing!"

Zhang Zizhong was initially shocked that Jiang Chen and his group were top-tier figures in 43999, but seeing Jiang Chen surrounded by beautiful women, his lips twitched involuntarily...

Zhang Zizhong was somewhat envious of Jiang Chen's kidney function...

Jiang Chen, with her hair white and chubby, walked towards Zhang Zizhong.

He understood when he saw the three S-class treasure chests outside the bus door.

Jiang Chen spoke first:

"Grandpa Zhang, we are the 43999 team, what's wrong?"

Bai Nuonuo even tilted her head in a very cooperative manner, and the iconic ahoge on her head curled into a question mark.

The other girls also looked puzzled. Isn't 43999 just a team number?

Everyone has a team number, right?

There's nothing surprising about this...

Jiang Chen and the girls didn't frequent public chat channels much. They only knew that other players called "43999" "Big Boss," and that the players admired them.

In fact, in the hearts of all players, 43999 is undoubtedly a top-tier player, and some even speculate that 43999 is a group of special forces soldiers or something.

Who would have thought that 43999 was actually just a guy with a group of beautiful girls...

Zhang Zizhong stroked his chin and nodded slightly:

"No wonder...no wonder you're so amazing, Xiao Chen..."

"If it's 43999, then it wouldn't be surprising..."

Zhang Zizhong suddenly burst into laughter:

"It seems... meeting you all in this S-rank dungeon is my good fortune!"

Zhang Zizhong is right. If it weren't for Jiang Chen and the others, Zhang Zizhong would have undoubtedly died in this S-rank dungeon...

Currently, apart from Jiang Chen and his team, no other team has the ability to fight against a [resident] like Hikawa Kensuke.

Zhang Zizhong smiled as he walked toward his motorcycle.

Jiang Chen stopped Zhang Zizhong and pointed to the three S-level treasure chests. One of the chests had a [Vehicle Upgrade Card] on its surface.

"Grandpa Zhang, please take these treasure chests back..."

Jiang Chen knew the answer but still felt he had to show proper etiquette and respect to his elders, especially to veterans who had sacrificed their lives for China.

Zhang Zizhong dislikes arguing with others. He gives things away as soon as he says he will, and there's no reason to ask for them back once they've been given away.

"Buzz—!"

Zhang Zizhong straddled the Honda CG125, twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle engine roared to life, causing the entire vehicle to tremble slightly.

Then the red and black Honda CG125 drove straight towards the portal leading out of the instance.

As Zhang Zizhong drove, he waved to Jiang Chen:

"Xiao Chen! I'm really not paying for the cigarettes! Just use that [Vehicle Upgrade Card] instead!"

Zhang Zizhong's earlier statement about not paying for cigarettes was just a joke; he never liked owing people anything.

The girls watched silently as Zhang Zizhong drove the car toward the red portal.

Jiang Chen smiled helplessly.

Since Mr. Zhang had already left the things at the entrance of the bus, Jiang Chen didn't refuse. He wasn't the kind of person to dawdle.

But Zhang Zizhong's words before entering the teleportation portal made Jiang Chen's lips twitch.

"Young man, don't overdo it, be mindful of the frequency!"

"See you again someday!"

Jiang Chen's lips twitched, and then he laughed:

"Grandpa Zhang is quite an interesting person..."

"I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to see you again..."

Aside from trading, players can only communicate with each other in the public chat channel; there are no friend functions or similar features.

Therefore, if you want to meet players from other teams, besides location cards, you can only look at the bonds between each other.

The girls stared blankly at the portal where Zhang Zizhong's figure disappeared.

Everyone genuinely felt that Grandpa Zhang was a truly good person; it was truly rare to find someone who could maintain such kindness in a world where people kill without hesitation...

Zhang Zizhong helped the girls realize that not all players in other teams are bad people; some are kind-hearted. However, it is essential to always be wary of others.

Jiang Chen clapped his hands, drawing the girls' attention back to him:

"Alright! Everyone, get on the bus."

"We're opening treasure chests as we drive into Golden Scale City."

"It's good that Grandpa Zhang is gone; things will get even more dangerous from here on out."

The girls boarded the bus one by one, preparing for the battle to come.

Once they enter Golden Scale City, they will all have to participate in the battle.

Jiang Chen walked at the back, turning his head to look at Jinlin City.

Suddenly! Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes.

He saw Li Xiaoyao's icy blue figure plummet straight towards Golden Scale City, before being obscured by the city walls.

The flying swords above Jinlin City also suddenly disappeared.

Jiang Chen frowned. He guessed that Li Xiaoyao's mental energy was probably too depleted to support her flying on her sword and controlling it.

Once Jinlin City loses Li Xiaoyao's support, then Jinlin City will be in danger!
