Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

bell--

The preparatory bell rang abruptly, interrupting Lu Ze, who was about to continue asking questions.

Liu Wenbo stood up, first patted the dust off his backside, then nodded to the two of them, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the rooftop entrance.

As he reached the door, he paused and turned his head to the side.

"Oh, right..."

"Our gaming club has the installation package for Gate of Truth. Lu Ze, you can come over after school this afternoon and try it out."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Lu Ze's reply, pushed open the door, and disappeared into the shadows of the stairwell.

Only Lu Ze and Bangya remained on the rooftop.

"We should go back too," Bonya said calmly as she stood up.

Lu Ze also came to his senses and quickly stood up. The two of them left the rooftop one after the other.

They rushed as fast as they could, finally sneaking back to their seats through the back door just a second before the teacher stepped into the classroom.

The teacher glanced at them a few more times because of this.

As soon as Lu Ze sat down, he secretly glanced at Bangya next to him out of the corner of his eye.

She was sitting upright, just like before, using a book to cover the game console in her hand.

Lu Ze hesitated for a moment, tore off a piece of draft paper, picked up a pen, and wrote a line on it:

"Bonya, what is your special ability?"

He folded the note in half and then in half again, nudged Bonya's arm lightly with his elbow, and quickly pushed the note into her hand while the teacher turned to write on the blackboard.

Bonya paused for a moment while playing the game.

She glared at Lu Ze with some displeasure at first, then looked down and saw the note he pushed towards her.

She put down the game console, unfolded the note, glanced at it, then picked up a pen, wrote a line at the bottom of the note, folded it up again, and pushed it back.

Lu Ze unfolded the note and saw her neat and clean handwriting:

"My special ability is parallel thinking. My brain can execute two processes at the same time, just like now, I can play games and listen to lectures at the same time."

Lu Ze stared at the line of text and remained silent for a moment.

Playing games while listening to lectures—this ability sounds very useful, but something just feels off.

He thought for a moment, then picked up his pen and wrote:

"You cleared all five levels, so are you even better than Liu Wenbo?"

The note was passed on again. After a while, the note was passed back:

"He awakened a combat-type ability, while mine is a support-type. He's stronger in a real fight, but if I'm prepared, he can't beat me."

After reading it, Lu Ze wrote another sentence:

"Nabangya, were you also chased by those monks in robes?"

"Um."

Bonya replied with just one word, concise and clear.

Lu Ze thought for a moment, then wrote down another question that had been bothering him:

Why did you transfer to a school in Binhai City?

This time, the note took a little longer to arrive than before.

Lu Ze unfolded the note and saw that it read:

"Looking for a partner."

partner?

Lu Ze's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

He quickly scribbled down the next sentence: "Partner? What partner?"

His handwriting became somewhat messy because he was in a hurry.

The note was passed back, and it contained only one line of text:

"Game Partners. Level 6 requires two players to cooperate and complete."

Lu Ze stared at the line of text for two seconds, then let out a long sigh of relief.

It turned out to be the case.

He put down the note and felt his heartbeat slowly return to normal.

He couldn't explain why he was so nervous just now, but in any case, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He calmed himself down, picked up his pen again, and prepared to write something more.

But just then, he felt a burning gaze fixed on him from behind.

The gaze was so intense that it made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.

He slowly turned his head away.

Shen Zihao, sitting in the back row, was staring at him with a look that was full of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

His lips moved slightly, and although no sound came out, Lu Ze could read a sentence from his lip movements:

"You guys are bullying the dog too much!"

Lu Ze quickly turned his head away guiltily, pretending to look at the scenery around him.
