Where's the cute girl we were promised? She's completely wiped out S-rank dungeons!

On the other hand, things weren't going so smoothly for the puppeteer and Liu Gaosheng.

The large white python coiled around Liu Gaosheng's body, its head resting affectionately under his palm, its deep red forked tongue twitching from time to time.

He stroked the snake's head gently, like petting a cat. The snake narrowed its eyes, revealing a comfortable expression. Liu Gaosheng's gaze kept drifting towards the puppeteer by the railing, unsure how to begin.

As he watched, the puppeteer suddenly turned around and gave him a smile:

"You've been staring at me. Is there something you want to tell me?"

Liu Gaosheng's already pale face turned even paler. He stopped petting his beloved pet and quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake:

"Excuse me, President. I just wanted to ask what we should do tomorrow? Should we just eat, shower, and sleep as usual?"

He called the puppeteer "President," unlike Wang Daqiang who called Fu Zhengyang "President." It wasn't flattery or disloyalty. Originally, he intended to address someone else's guild leader normally, usually by using the leader's surname followed by the word "President."

Like the chairman of the ox association, the chairman of the horse association, and the chairman of the donkey association.

However, the "Puppeteer's" real name was kept very secret. No one in the entire game knew what his real name was. Liu Gaosheng had no choice but to call him "President" directly.

The puppeteer yawned and turned back around:

"No, we need to go to the administration building tomorrow night."

"The administration building?"

Liu Gaosheng wasn't very bright. Their plans for tonight were similar to Qiao Ran and An Xiaomei's: they went out to explore the electric grid but found nothing. When the puppeteer suddenly suggested going to the administration building, he hadn't quite grasped the situation.

"President, what are we going to the administration building for? Is there a clue there to get through?"

"Hmm...you just need to follow the instructions."

The puppeteer looked at the dormitory rooftop in the distance, casually tapping the railing with one finger—Song Yuan and Qiao Ran are probably gathered on the rooftop of some building right now, aren't they?

And she, she should be in this instance with him now, right?

I wonder how she is now. Since she can hide her ID name, she should have already reached S-rank.

The thought of her beautiful eyes watching him from somewhere today made him so happy he couldn't stop smiling.

"Looking forward to our meeting, baby~"

The next morning, at 5:30 a.m., Song Yuan and the others got up on time with the students and started their morning exercises.

Song Yuan mingled in the morning exercise group. Being small, she stood at the very front. The school required students to run chest to back, like rows of pastries, with the toes of the person behind them touching the insteps of the person in front.

Song Yuan really didn't understand why they would design such an unscientific way of running exercises. Moreover, the surroundings were filled with the smell of sweat and body odor, which was really unbearable for someone with mysophobia.

After running, she went upstairs, studied for thirty minutes, ate breakfast, and then studied for another twenty-five minutes before the exam. She remembered the control panel Xu Tai'an had shown her the night before:

Xu Tai'an is indeed an extremely formidable player. Yes, formidable. She's an S-rank player, wielding the Platinum Sniper Rifle. Her skill, "Shoot," fires one bullet at a time with a 5-minute cooldown. Players at S-rank or lower who are hit by her bullet instantly lose 50 health points. If the target is below A-rank, well, sorry, it's an instant kill.

Caught completely off guard, Xu Tai'an could easily take down players like Qiao Ran and An Xiaomei with a single shot if they weren't on guard.

As for his talent, it's surprisingly [Healing]. He can selectively heal allies—including himself—within a ten-meter diameter circle centered on himself. The amount of health gained is directly linked to Xu Tai'an's own stamina, with a maximum increase of fifty health points per person.

She possessed both offensive and healing skills, and was also a free-roaming player. Song Yuan had even considered inviting her to join their guild.

However, such a formidable player, a top 100 player on the leaderboard, was originally fighting alone for freedom. Her request was inevitably somewhat offensive.

Song Yuan planned to observe the situation and bring it up again when the time was right.

At 7:10, the exam began. The four of them were in different exam rooms. After being checked by the female teacher, Song Yuan sat down in her seat. She casually brushed a strand of hair behind her ear—but actually put on the prop, the [Silent One's Communicator].

Qiao Ran provided the answers very quickly, almost without any hesitation, reading from the multiple-choice questions all the way to the comprehensive questions. In subjects like English and Chinese, if all four people gave the same answer, it would definitely seem very suspicious. Therefore, Qiao Ran had to prepare eight different essays—four each for Chinese and English, and four different sets of answers for the Chinese reading comprehension questions as well.

Song Yuan listened carefully as Qiao Ran read out the other people's answers. The four answers were roughly the same in meaning, but expressed differently.

Yes, no wonder he's a player with an IQ of 96.

The school releases results very quickly. The exam finishes at 5 PM, and the results are out by 6 PM. As soon as the report cards are posted, students swarm around them to see them:
