He originally came out for a stroll, hoping to find a place to play with the items that had been refreshed today.

The result was a Heart of Steel.

Su Wei then fell silent.

The items are good, but he can't exactly be a steelworker stacking steel before the Black Ball exam begins, can he?

As for picking a fight... he's not Jiahao, that would be beneath him.

After thinking for a moment, he changed the subject:

"Judging from your tone, you think you know a lot?"

"Humph."

Sakayanagi Arisu gave a light snort and proudly raised her chin:

"Who do you think I am? A true genius is someone who is good at thinking and good at discovering!"

"I can tell at a glance that most of you guys who act all deep and aloof and don't like socializing are actually secretly passionate anime fans. A little understanding of the routines will make it clear, won't it?"

As the girl spoke, she pulled Su Wei along:

"Come on, since you're embarrassed, I'll be merciful and take you to a side branch so you can see my strength!"

"..."

Su Wei was somewhat surprised, but she did not resist and raced along with Sakayanagi Arisu's rhythm.

The two soon arrived at the school library.

As soon as he entered the lending area, he saw a girl with light blue hair standing on tiptoe, struggling to reach a book on the top shelf.

Su Wei paused, looked down at Sakayanagi beside him, and gave him a strange look:

"You added her as a friend, right? Did you use the school's location feature as well?"

"No...is this really okay? I feel like your behavior is making you more and more like a pervert, the kind that could get you sued at any time."

Sakayanagi Arisu said without blushing or panting:

"Since it's a function provided by the school, what's wrong with using it reasonably?"

"Alright, stop pretending! Take advantage of this opportunity and go strike up a conversation! This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance!"

As she spoke, she reached out and pinched Su Wei's waist lightly.

Feeling the sensation around his waist, Su Wei shook his head helplessly.

Given Sakayanagi Arisu's character design, there's no need to guess; she's definitely having another episode of her observance urge.

However, Su Wei could only say to this – it's like an old-fashioned layered cake.

What you think you believe may not actually be what you believe.

He came up behind Shiina Hiyori.

Just as her fingertips were about to touch the spine of the book but slipped off, Su Wei raised her hand and easily took the book down.

Is this the one?

"Ah, thanks."

Hiyori Shiina subconsciously thanked him.

When she saw who it was, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then her gaze fell on the book in his hand.

Su Wei also glanced at the book cover.

"The Magic Cube Building"?

He handed her the book: "I didn't expect to find Zheng Yuanjie's books here."

"Has Su Wei read this book?" Shiina Hiyori asked, holding the book with some anticipation.

"Of course, that's China's king of fairy tales."

"But this book is a bit old, why did you find it?" Su Wei asked casually.

"It is indeed very old."

Hiyori Shiina nodded and explained, "In this story, each square of the Rubik's Cube is an independent country. The protagonist, Lake, must adventure in these fantastical and absurd countries in order to find a way back to the real world."

"I've been thinking lately, is the pattern of the black ball somewhat similar to it?"

"I was trapped in a small, isolated space, facing absurd monsters, and could only return by clearing the level... I wanted to see if I could gain any inspiration from it."

Su Wei's heart stirred slightly.

In his original world, some people did say that Infinite Terror borrowed from Gantz, while others said that some of the inspirations from Gantz were similar to those from The Cube.

He didn't know the specifics either.

But sometimes, people do have similar thoughts without even realizing it.

Su Wei thought for a moment and then said:

"The Black Ball Exam, as it stands, is just a very ordinary cycle of 'monsters appear - exam - monsters appear.' Trying to find a pattern... is probably a bit difficult."
