Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

Chen Nian also noticed that Tang Rou was having dinner alone with a man.

The food was plentiful, clearly prepared with great care, and the guests were dressed quite formally; there was even a bouquet of flowers on the table...

What's going on?

Seeing this, Chen Nian began to feel uncomfortable, after all, that was his close little secretary!

"Isn't that Xiaorou?"

Su Jinyu asked curiously, "Is she... dating someone?"

"I don't know."

As soon as he finished answering, Chen Nian's arm was poked by chopsticks.

"Are you really that useless? You couldn't even win Xiaorou over, and now you've let another man get there first!" Su Jinyu said with a look of utter disappointment.

"No, you mean you want me to take her down? What do you mean...?"

"Is that even a question? You managed to hook up with that senior girl, how can you just let such a good girl like Xiaorou slip through your fingers!"

Su Jinyu said seriously, "Besides, she's been with you for so long, she can help you solve your problems, can't she?"

In her eyes, a girl who can help Chen Nian is a good girl.

She'd seen all sorts of people like Ye Hongling and Zhao Yixue, so she had almost no aversion to Tang Rou, a diligent foodie.

"No, I don't know the situation either. I can't just go over and disturb their meal."

"That's true. It would be impolite to go now. You should ask them properly later."

"But even so, you still have to put me first. Being lenient with you is not a reason to indulge me."

"Yes, my wife!"

"Go away, she's not your wife yet, stop calling me that."

......

That evening, Chen Nian took the opportunity to send a message to Tang Rou.

Chen: I saw you eating with someone in the cafeteria today?

Tang: Hmm

Chen: Who is that person?

Tang: Cai Ming, the deputy minister of the medical department, what's wrong?

Chen: It's nothing, I was just curious that someone would actually ask you out?

Tang: Lots of girls want to ask me out every day; you're such a busy person, you probably don't know.

Chen: Why do I feel like you're being sarcastic?

Tang: No.

When Chen Nian sent another message, Tang Rou didn't reply.

Is she angry and throwing a tantrum?

Never mind, I'll treat her to a meal next time and have a proper talk.

But Chen Nian didn't expect that a major emergency would occur at the academy the next day!

........

The Great Hall.

Hundreds of students from the lower grades of the academy gathered here, including even the newly enrolled freshmen.

On the podium, Dean Merlin, dressed in a suit and tie, stood with a serious expression.

"Distinguished guests!"

A loud and powerful voice resounded throughout the venue.

"I have something very serious to tell everyone. The battle for the sixth tier has reached its most crucial moment!"

At the same time, a technologically advanced 3D map appeared on the large screen behind them, showing eight world planes.

"Eight worlds, one of which is the core world of the sixth level. Once it is occupied, it means that the sixth level has completely fallen."

"Unfortunately, we don't know which world is the core world, just like the Calamity doesn't. Therefore, we must do our best to fight for all eight worlds!"

"Currently, the senior students in the higher division are still fighting on the deeper front lines, and manpower is extremely scarce. Therefore, we need you all to go to these eight worlds to provide support and hold this last line of defense."

"Of course, the enemy's top experts cannot be sent here either, so you will not encounter overly powerful beings, but encounters at the level of Origin Demon God are unavoidable."

"This mission is extremely difficult, and only volunteers will be selected to participate in the mission, which will be conducted in groups. Any student at level six or above is eligible to apply!"

The students below gasped in surprise.

Although Chen Nian had already dealt with the Primal Demon God several times, the others were not at his level, and encountering the Primal Demon God would still be quite dangerous.

That alone is enough to deter most people!

After the meeting, the participants had one night to think and register, and they had to set off the next day.

Su Jinyu sought out Chen Nian to discuss this matter.

"Brother Chen Nian, what do you think?"

"I've decided to sign up. The senior students in the higher education department are fighting hard in more dangerous places, and we can't just live a comfortable life in the rear forever."

Chen Nian said in a deep voice, "Moreover... don't forget, our home is on the fifth level. Once the sixth level falls, the fifth level will be the next to suffer."

"That makes sense, I'll sign up too!"

"you.....?"

"What, are you looking down on me? The dean said that anyone at level six can apply, and I'm at level six too."

"Okay, then I'll ask the dean to pull some strings and put us together."

"You actually have this ability?"

"Of course."

......

the next day.

The groups have been decided: eight worlds, with five people in each world.

Chen Nian was quite surprised by the members of his group. In addition to Su Jinyu, even the clown... oh no, even Lin Xiaomeng was in it.

There were also two male trainees, thus forming a five-person team.

"For this support mission, you will travel in the latest boundary-breaking aircraft manufactured by the Equipment Department."

"This aircraft has been pre-set to its destination, and it will also be used to return from the mission."

"Does this world already have a Calamity Outpost? Within the outpost is an obelisk black tower for exploring the world's core. Mission objective: Destroy the obelisk black tower and annihilate all Calamity forces."

"If necessary, you can escape by aircraft. However, identity verification will be performed upon startup, and if any non-academy personnel board the aircraft, it will immediately enter self-destruct mode."

In other words, even if the forces of calamity seized the aircraft, they would still be unable to locate the academy's position by reversing the direction of the disaster.

"The insurance measures are quite comprehensive..." Chen Nian thought.

However, if you choose to flee, and you're unlucky enough to find that this world happens to be the core world, and it gets occupied by the other side, then you'll have to take the blame.

"These are all the precautions. Please take note."

Before leaving, Chen Nian decided to tell Tang Rou that she was still throwing a tantrum, and he would have a good talk with her when he returned from the mission.

Chen Nian: I'm leaving to carry out a mission. I'll treat you to dinner when I get back.

Tang Rou: I'm on a mission too!

Chen Nian: Wait, what mission are you on? Are you going to harm the lab rats?

Tang Rou: The academy received a distress signal from the G-02 world and is now sending reinforcements there. I am a medical member accompanying them.

"What...?!"

G-02 World, that is the seventh level, a dangerous zone already occupied by calamity.

Those qualified to go there are all the strong individuals from the advanced division.

Is Tang Rou going too?

Chen Nian: Wait, why were you sent as reinforcements? Is there no one else?

Tang Rou: The medical department has a shortage of personnel who can go out on field duty. What, are you looking down on me?

"Brother Chen Nian, what are you doing? Time to leave!"

"Okay, coming."

Chen Nian wanted to say more, but time was of the essence, so he could only tell her to be careful.
