All my teammates online are my girlfriends

"Controlling Cranes!"

whoosh-

As a pillow was pulled in, Tang Feilin's eyes narrowed as she watched the skill icons on her skill bar instantly go black.

It really is a shared system!

"If I don't log in, will my skills not have a cooldown period?"

"No, I just used 'Fixed-Point Gravity' and 'Spatial Slowness,' and both of those skills are still on cooldown; they're still loading."

Lin Qiu pointed to the two skills in the far corner that were still counting down and said, "It seems that even in reality, we can't escape some of the game's settings."

"Although it's a bit of a pity, it's enough. Next, we'll discuss the environmental changes in various regions."

Tang Feilin rubbed her temples wearily. If Lin Qiu's situation had been more of a premature mutation than a unique one, it would have been much better.

"How about this, in a few days, are you free to come with me to Mount Taixu?"

"Mount Taixu? Isn't that where the class monitor is..."

"Yes, that's one of the earliest locations where the anomaly was detected. It's been sealed off now. We don't know the specifics yet. If you're included, we'll see if there are any further anomalies."

"I'm fine with it, I can go anytime."

Qi Xi nodded, then looked at Wu Xiaoxiong and Lin Qiu beside her.

These two have to attend classes, and Sakuma is in the student council, so it might not be that convenient for them.

"It doesn't feel right to ask for leave so soon after school started..."

"Go talk to the school nurse; they should be able to give you a sick leave certificate."

"Absolutely impossible!"

The mere thought of dealing with Zhao Yunge sent chills down Lin Qiu's spine.

Even if it was the class monitor, he could grit his teeth and resist, but he was really panicked inside when it came to the school nurse who was good at dissection.

Who knows, one day you might accidentally fall ill, and while you're resting, you might open your eyes again to find yourself lying on the operating table!

"Are you that scared?" Qi Xi looked at the guy with some helplessness. "Although Teacher Yun Ge's nickname is a bit creepy, he is usually very nice to his students."

"I feel like you're bluffing me..."

Lin Qiu couldn't help but glance at her sideways; she didn't want to die without knowing why.

"You're just overthinking things. Don't listen to Ze Zhi's nonsense. That guy has been an information broker for too long and always tends to exaggerate things. Teacher Yun Ge isn't that petty."

Regardless of Lin Qiu's reaction, Tang Feilin glanced at the friend requests that kept flooding the game and her eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Could the eccentric doctor Scissorhands have any connection to the school nurse they're talking about?

However, Qi Xi's words of comfort greatly reduced Lin Qiu's worries.

Should we give it a try then? Although the other party is skilled in anatomy, with my own skills, running away should be a piece of cake!

"Okay, I'll ask about it later."

Lin Qiu gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Wu Xiaoxiong, seeing that Lin Qiu's situation had been resolved, glanced uncertainly towards the door.

"As for me, I'll have to discuss it with Lao Chen later. The student council in Longmen has a lot of tasks to handle."

"I said, why did you drag me here? I still need to study hard."

Looking at Lin Qiu, who was standing to the side with a somewhat nervous expression, Zhou Zezhi couldn't help but roll her eyes.

I had finally managed to rekindle my motivation to study under Ya Ya's influence, but she dragged me out of it in no time.

If I miss the chance to pass the exam, I couldn't afford to compensate you even if I sold myself.

"Come on, if you're willing to study hard, I'll take your surname. I'm just going to see the school nurse, and I need someone to give me some courage."

Lin Qiu glared at her irritably. "We're both equally bad. You think you can surpass me?"

"Who are you looking down on!"

Ze Zhi puffed out her pretty face angrily, but when she glanced at the sign for the infirmary, she deflated completely.

"Why don't you pull the squad leader? At least she has some fighting skills. Even if something happens, she can protect you. Look at me, I'm afraid I'll end up on the operating table with you."

"You said it was just a bunch of rumors back then, but now you're backing down. Don't tell me there's some truth mixed in with the rumors!"

Lin Qiu's expression changed. If you try to trick me, I'll push you out to take the fall right away!

Upon hearing this, Zezhi scratched her face somewhat awkwardly, her gaze unconsciously shifting away.

For an intelligence broker, mixing truth and falsehood in intelligence is practically a professional habit, and since so much time has passed, he has absolutely no recollection of it!

However, this doesn't matter!

"Don't worry, it's just a rumor. Teacher Yunge is easy to talk to. When have you ever seen her mistreat students?"

Ze Zhi waved his hand calmly, his nonchalant expression of certainty that nothing would happen put Lin Qiu at ease.

Swallowing hard, Lin Qiu muttered a few words to himself to comfort himself before cautiously pushing open the door.

Looking at Zhao Yunge, who was dozing off in his office chair, Lin Qiu took a deep breath. Before he could speak, the other man's voice drifted over first—

"What were you two whispering about at the door for so long?"

"Ahem—Teacher Zhao, you heard everything."

"My hearing has improved a lot recently. It's hard not to hear you guys plotting so loudly outside."

Zhao Yunge explained listlessly, rubbing his dark circles which had eased considerably, and looked at Lin Qiu and Ze Zhi with some surprise.

"Neither of you looks sick, so what are you doing here? Trying to skip class?"

"Uh—I'd like to ask you, Teacher Zhao, to approve a leave slip."

Lin Qiu tentatively spoke, while he moved closer to Ze Zhi.

If anything happens, just push her out to take the blow!

Meanwhile, Zezhi nervously gripped the hem of her skirt, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards Lin Qiu.

If anything goes wrong, this guy will be the scapegoat!

"Are you asking for leave? What are you going to do?"

Zhao Yunge did not show any objection, but simply asked a question.

"Something came up at home, so I have to go on a long trip."

"A long holiday?"

Zhao Yunge slightly raised his eyelids, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes as he stared at Lin Qiu.

Just an hour ago, Qi Xi asked the principal to help her ask for leave, citing family matters as the reason for her long trip.

Are you family?

But it doesn't look like it!

"Oh right, Teacher Zhao, look..."

Zhao Yunge did not reply immediately, but instead turned his gaze to Zezhi on the other side—

Are you inviting me too?

"No, no, I was just dragged here by him to give me some courage."

"To bolster your courage? You're afraid of me?"

As if sensing something was amiss, Zhao Yunge revealed a somewhat amused smile.

Lin Qiu himself had only met him a few times, yet he was even more afraid than the other students who had heard the rumors. Could it be that Yun Mo had whispered something in his ear and smeared him?

"No, no, it's just that I'm naturally a bit timid around doctors and such."

Lin Qiu chuckled and made up a story. Only after confirming that she had no offensive tools at hand did he feel much more at ease.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunge raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing his explanation, but instead looked Lin Qiu up and down with great interest.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, her gaze instantly fixed on his heart.

There's a strange, unsettling feeling...

Has his body also recently undergone strange changes like mine? But this guy's abnormalities seem to be even more pronounced than mine!

"Alright, I'll approve a week's leave for you and Qi Xi, but don't let your studies fall behind while you're not at school."

"I see!"

Seeing Zhao Yunge quickly take out the leave slip and start writing, Lin Qiu finally felt relieved.

"See? I told you Teacher Yunge was easy to talk to."

Zezhi snorted lightly, "Don't doubt your expertise as an information broker!"

Seeing the guy's provocative expression, Lin Qiu smiled helplessly.

But before he could rejoice for long, Zhao Yunge's voice rang out again—

"Lin Qiu, have you been feeling unwell lately?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

The sudden question made Lin Qiu's heart tighten.

Could this person have also undergone some kind of abnormal change? If so, the danger level has increased dramatically!

“Recently, my dad’s hospital has seen a lot of patients with strange symptoms, and the cause cannot be found. I feel that you have similar symptoms, so you should get checked first.”

"No, no, no need! I've already had it checked at the research institute, and it's perfectly fine."

Lin Qiu shook his head, muttering to himself. Rather than lying in the hospital bed being examined by this blood-handed doctor, he'd rather have Director Tang keep an eye on him a little longer.

Upon hearing the term "research institute," Zhao Yunge couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

This guy's been targeted by the research institute? His mutation is probably even more serious than those sent to the hospital!

"Has the research institute confirmed that there are no problems?"

"It's confirmed. Although some data is unverifiable, their director said we can rest assured."

Lin Qiu responded honestly, but quietly moved towards the door.

Although the movement was extremely slight, he still noticed that Zhao Yunge had put down his crossed legs, looking like he was about to rush over at any moment!

"Just to be on the safe side, let me take a look."

Almost the instant he finished speaking, Zhao Yunge's figure vanished from the spot without warning.

Lin Qiu's pupils contracted slightly, and in the instant his heart clenched, he seemed to sense a hint of malice from the unseen world. His body instinctively twisted over, and he raised his hand to pinch a certain spot.

The next second, Zhao Yunge's throat seemed to be willingly handed over to Lin Qiu's hands, and as it was tightly gripped, a muffled groan of discomfort came out.

Zezhi, who hadn't reacted yet, stared blankly at Zhao Yunge, who had almost teleported a distance away, her brain completely blank.

Can anyone tell me what just happened?!

227 - Sawari, completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem

"Lin Qiu, could you please let go of my hand for a moment? I'm having trouble breathing."

"Your attack just now makes me uneasy."

"It was just a test. It would be better to explain things to that person first."

Zhao Yunge pointed to Ze Zhi, who was stunned and bewildered, and reminded her that the changes he and Lin Qiu had undergone were clearly beyond her comprehension.

"What...what just happened?!"

Zezhi stammered as she asked, and seeing how easily Zhao Yunge was captured by Lin Qiu, she was completely distraught.

Putting aside why Teacher Yunge appeared out of nowhere, I never expected that Lin Qiu, this otaku, would be so amazing.

Something's not right here. Does that mean I'm no match for him?!
