Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

In the game, cotton yarn is a material used to craft some low-level equipment.

But right now, Chu Zhong has only unlocked the 'Golden Body Set', and there's not a trace of any other equipment.

Chu Zhong could only attribute the cause to the system itself being broken and incomplete.

As for the Cold Iron Leaves, they can be used to strengthen parts of the Golden Body Set. The required quantity is double that of the crafting material, so you can accumulate them slowly.

[Items obtained: 15 Beer of the Wine Immortal, 15 Drunken Squid Strips of the Wine Immortal, 5 Enchanting Cigarettes, 15 Lucky Steel Balls]

Compared to the materials dropped in the Kogoro dungeon, Chu Zhong preferred these occasionally useful items.

Furthermore, it can consume 3 low-level items to synthesize 1 upgraded version.

For example, 3 bottles of Old Drunkard Beer can be combined to make 1 bottle of Drunkard Beer.

General Chu has combined all the items that can be used to advance ranks, and now possesses:

Wine Immortal Beer*32, Wine Immortal Squid Strips*26, Enchanting Immortal Cigarettes*9, Lucky Steel Balls*35

However, the chocolate stock is a bit low:

Love Chocolates*62, Friendship Chocolates*43

So after arriving at school and starting classes,

Chu Zhong first unlocks the Demon King-level Ran Mouri dungeon.

The instance scene then switches back to the martial arts arena.

Adding a team member, Boss-level, to Sonoko Suzuki, requires 3000 Spirit Essence. Discount: 10%, actual cost 2700 Spirit Essence.

Boss-level members will receive a 10% bonus to rewards and item drop rate.

They even brought in the instance garden as a teammate.

The classroom was transformed into a martial arts arena, with students acting as cheerleaders for both sides, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Hmph! Don't think I'll help you deal with Xiao Lan!"

Once the dungeon officially started, Sonoko, who was a teammate, was very uncooperative.

"Unless...unless you apologize for what happened last time!"

But there is still room for maneuver.

It just sounds... a bit arrogant.

Chu Zhong:......

So, all we need to do is apologize and we can forget about what happened last time?

Why does it feel like Sonoko is deliberately giving them a chance?

"Then I apologize."

Chu Zhong said bluntly, "I shouldn't have made you happy without your permission or by being half-hearted."

Sonoko's face flushed instantly at those words: "N-no, I wasn't happy! Don't talk nonsense!"

Chu Zhong: "Now that you've apologized, are we considered to have made up?"

Sonoko: "Hmph! You have no sincerity at all! I won't forgive you!"

Chu Zhong: "Then how do we know if we're being sincere?"

Garden: "Sit down on the ground!"

Just then, the homeroom teacher, who was acting as the referee, announced the start of the first round of the match, a heart-shaped battlefield where chocolate items would fall.

Xiao Lan, a martial arts enthusiast, dressed in her martial arts uniform, quickly collected the first batch of dropped chocolates and hurried over.

"Even if you were to sit down now, it would be too late."

Sonoko said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Just wait until Ran beats you up! I'm not helping her!"

楚中淡定道：“小兰这么爱我，怎么会揍我？别小看我们之间的夫妻感情。”

Sonoko laughed: "Marital affection? Ran cares most about martial arts, she'll definitely beat you up..."

Sonoko was stunned by what she was seeing.

Xiao Lan, who has always been obsessed with martial arts, actually walked over after the referee announced the start of the match... and stuffed all the chocolates into Chu Zhong's hands, and even kissed him.

Is this... still a competition?

Shouldn't the battlefield of love be a place of painful struggle and chaos between friendship and romance?

Not to mention the couple's strained relationship...

"Chu Zhong, let's test the weapon seal again!"

Xiao Lan, a martial arts enthusiast, was in high spirits and looked on with anticipation.

“No, today is teaching time.” After saying that, Chu Zhong added, “Teaching the Immobilization Technique.”

The memory of being suppressed by the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan last time is still vivid in my mind. Xiao Lan doesn't know what 'knowing when to stop' means. Chu Zhong just wants to win without lifting a finger, not be played with while lying down.

Besides, there are quite a few people in the atmosphere group today, so many eyes are watching.

Even after the dungeon ends, apart from Ran and Sonoko, the rest of the atmosphere group will not have any memory left, but it will still feel a bit awkward.

I must keep the promise I made to the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan...

Otherwise, how can I continue to fool her next time?

"OK then……"

The temptation to learn the immobilization technique was too strong, so the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan stopped insisting on doing the weapon sealing test.

At this time,

Yuanzi snapped out of her daze and pointed at Chu Zhong: "You, you lied! What marital discord! It was all a lie!"

In fact, it was Xiaolan who took the initiative, but Chu Zhong refused.

Faced with questioning,

Chu Zhong gave Yuanzi a deep look: "Then who do you think I'll continue working as a male escort for?"

Sonoko was stunned for a moment, and quickly deduced the reason from the result: Chu Zhong had been scheming to get her!

"I don't believe your nonsense..." Sonoko blushed and snorted.

Chu Zhong didn't respond further and continued explaining the basic theory of the immobilization technique to the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan.

Anyway, being a part-time male escort is a unique feature of Sonoko's storyline, so his goal was obviously Sonoko, and he wasn't lying.

However, this is just teasing the feelings of the alternate world.

This gave Chu Zhong the feeling of being a 'conman in love'.

But the problem is...

'No! I've always liked the garden!'

'These are all genuine feelings!'

Chu Zhong suddenly realized the truth, and his mind became clear in an instant, with no more worries in his heart.

"Yuanzi! I like you!" Chu Zhong suddenly shouted.

"...You...you...you...you...did you take the wrong medicine?! Suddenly..." Sonoko was stunned for a moment, then became flustered.

"Yuanzi! I! Like! You!" Chu Zhong emphasized again.

In reality, Chu Zhong didn't want to show her true feelings too obviously, because she was worried about affecting her best friend's relationship.

Why do we need to hide things in the dungeon?

"Yuanzi! I! Like! You!" Xiaolan, the martial arts fanatic, also shouted.

After shouting, the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan was somewhat surprised: "So you have to like Sonoko to learn the immobilization technique?"

Chu Zhong smiled, feeling a sense of joy, and then looked at the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan: "Xiao Lan! I! Like! You!"

After saying that, Chu Zhong asked again, "Xiao Lan, do you want to be best friends with Yuanzi forever?"

"Yes!" The martial arts fanatic Xiaolan, with her simple mind, answered without hesitation.

To get a definite answer,

Chu Zhong looked towards the garden again.

"You, you two..."

Sonoko's face was burning red.

Chapter 55 Getting Drunk Will Lead to a Best Friend's Combo Attack

The original Sonoko blushed like a boiled shrimp and shouted:

"You two crazy people have really taken the wrong medicine! What nonsense are you spouting?!"

"I'm ignoring you all! Do whatever you want!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sonoko's figure faded rapidly and disappeared a few seconds later.

[Teammate/Boss-level Sonoko Suzuki has voluntarily left the team.]

Ah this...

Chu Zhong was stunned for a moment.

The teammates that Hua Lingyun invited actually left the team on their own?!

That's way too capricious!

Judging from Sonoko's expression, she's probably just embarrassed; as long as she's not angry, that's fine.

Then, Chu Zhong taught the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan the basic theory of immobilization techniques while waiting for the chocolates from the Battlefield of Love to fall and collect them.

Chocolates fall every half minute, with one more chocolate falling in each round than the previous round, up to a maximum of ten chocolates falling at the same time, lasting for half an hour.

In previous dungeon battles, most of the chocolates were spent on restraining Xiaolan, the martial arts fanatic, and in the end, there weren't many left.

Now that an agreement has been reached not to attack for the time being, all the fallen chocolates have been collected by Chu Zhong as stock.

After half an hour,

Chu Zhong harvested 270 Love Chocolates and 270 Friendship Chocolates, plus the stock in his inventory, totaling over 300 of each type.

What a bountiful harvest of chocolate!

The time for the chocolate to fall has passed.

Chu Zhong glanced at Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic who had fallen asleep after only ten minutes of listening to the lesson, and chose to give up the current and subsequent matches.

[Instance Rating: D-]

[The instance is closing...]

This Ran Mouri instance lasted only a little over half an hour, making it the shortest and lowest-rated instance to date, and it offered no rewards.

But Chu Zhong's original intention was to collect chocolates, which meant exchanging 1000 spirit essence for hundreds of chocolate items, a pure profit.

While they were still in the classroom, Zhen and Wu Chi Xiao Lan fought the entire game in the dungeon, which would have a negative impact on Xiao Lan in reality.

Then,

[Deduct 1000 Spirit Essence, Boss-level Suzuki Sonoko Dungeon activated]

Adding a member - Demon King level - Ran Mouri requires 5000 Spirit Essence, discounted by 50%, actual cost is 2500 Spirit Essence.

[Demon King-level team members will provide a 20% bonus to rewards and item drop rate]

Chu Zhong unlocks the Garden instance and teams up with the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan.

Chu Zhong changed into the formal attire from his inventory and also swapped Xiao Lan's martial arts outfit for her previous backless evening gown from the banquet.
