Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

Fan Xiao kept everyone in suspense.

In the following time, the four of them worked in pairs and took turns experimenting.

Every time a teacher came in, they would go up to ask for leave.

They tried everything, including attending funerals, contacting relatives when needed, and claiming they were pregnant after being raped by a classmate and about to give birth.

They achieved nothing.

By noon, after confirming that their leave request was indeed invalid, the four abandoned this route and decided to adopt the final solution.

According to Fan Xiao, the final plan is equivalent to starting the final battle ahead of schedule, which is very aggressive. He needs to notify the other players to come over and give them a heads-up.

“Let’s go to the cafeteria first,” Fan Xiao said. “All the other students have gone. If we don’t go, it would be against ‘its’ common sense. If the other players aren’t stupid, they will definitely go to the cafeteria too.”

Mercury and the other two nodded.

Upon arriving at the school cafeteria, they saw someone who surprised them quite a bit—Yan Jun.

Yan Jun also saw Fan Xiao and the others, and approached them with delight.

Jinna stared wide-eyed at Yan Jun, exclaiming in surprise, "You're still alive?"

severe:"……"

So he should just die?

Chapter 176 I'll Pound Your Chest with a Little Hammer

“I didn’t expect you to be transferred here too,” Yan Jun said with emotion. “I thought you could hold out longer.”

Fan Xiao and the other three did not reply for the time being, but instead focused their attention on Yan Jun and carefully examined him.

The left arm, right waist, and right shoulder were severely injured, and the smell of blood could still be detected.

These injuries must have been caused by the black and white monsters from the other world, which made him look very unwell.

Aside from his injuries, what's most striking is his hair, which has lost its original color and turned into a black, white, and gray tone.

This detail made Fan Xiao and the other three frown.

The situation is dire... It's shifting towards a state where people are black and white!

"You should stay away from us for now."

Mercury said bluntly, "Teammates who have been separated from each other are not necessarily the same teammates they were before."

"...I can understand your suspicions."

Yan Jun took a few steps back and explained, "But I really am myself, and this is how it is..."

He began to explain his experience.

Yesterday, after he disappeared from the teaching building... no, from his perspective, it was Fan Xiao and the other three who suddenly disappeared.

In his search for companions, he began to search around, and then he saw that the previously empty school building had somehow become filled with a large number of black and white people, who were attending classes like students.

Realizing that it wasn't his companions who had disappeared, but rather that he had been tricked, he quickly ran towards the swimming pool according to the game's prompts.

During the journey, he was attacked by a monster and seriously injured, but luckily he managed to rush into the swimming pool and turn on the projection device before being completely surrounded.

After the monsters were distracted by the dog's image, he left the swimming pool, found a student ID in the dormitory area, and strictly followed the game's instructions to play the role of a student.

While playing the role of a student, he was noticed by the monsters again due to a few minor mistakes. He was attacked twice and suffered even more serious injuries, and all the healing potions in his storage space were used up.

But at least he survived thanks to the protection of the swimming pool.

Mercury asked, "You mean, after you did something unbecoming of a student, you lured the monsters that were attacking you to the swimming pool, and after they came out, they stopped attacking you?"

"It's probably because I found a new student ID and changed it."

Yan Jun replied, "After leaving the swimming pool the second time, just to be on the safe side, I found a new student ID and then threw away the old one."

"After those monsters came out of the swimming pool, they didn't attack me again."

“They didn’t attack me again until I broke the rules for the third time.”

"Damn it... I was attacked yesterday afternoon around lunchtime because I didn't eat the food in the cafeteria!"

He recounted the details of his violation in detail.

The first time was during class. He exchanged a few words with other surviving players, which attracted the monsters' pursuit.

Yes, of the five players who disappeared earlier, three others survived, besides Yan Jun.

However, because they had violated the rules by talking during class, one of the other three survivors was killed by the monster during their escape.

At that time, including Yan Jun, only 3 players remained in the Otherworld.

Yan Jun's second violation was that he followed other black and white students to the school cafeteria during lunchtime but did not eat the food there.

Who knows what might happen if you eat the food from the dungeon?

This kind of careful consideration is very reasonable.

But he didn't expect that this would also violate the common sense of the underworld.

He attracted the monster's attack again.

"By the way, there's one more thing!"

Yan Jun suddenly adopted a serious tone and said, "The projection equipment in the swimming pool is becoming less and less effective as it is used more often."

"After I activated the device for the third time, I only delayed those monsters for less than two minutes. Luckily, I found a new student ID within those two minutes, otherwise..."

He said with lingering fear, "I'm afraid I'll be torn to pieces by those monsters! Those guys are too ridiculous. They're clearly monsters, but they can use all sorts of abilities just like players."

Will the projection time be shortened?

Mercury frowned: "If that's the case, with too many violations, there simply won't be enough time to find new student IDs later on."

"The third time it was opened, it took two minutes... Finding a student ID in two minutes is incredibly difficult. You're really lucky, but not everyone has that kind of luck."

"We are probably only allowed to break the rules once. From the second time onwards, we may not survive."

Players must always play the role of a student.

So using your spare time to find and collect more student IDs for backup—this is a difficult path to take.

It's best not to violate the rules more than once.

Otherwise, you will enter Hell difficulty.

"In short, that's the general situation."

Yan Jun said, "Now I've pretty much figured out the rules of this place. The points to pay attention to are the ones I just mentioned. As long as you avoid these points and honestly play the role of a student like me, you should be fine for the rest of your survival time."

"Yeah……"

Fan Xiao's lips curled up slightly, and he suddenly asked Yan Jun a question: "Dogs are aquatic creatures, right?"

“Of course,” Yan Jun asked, puzzled, “Why are you asking such a common-sense question?”

"..."

Mercury, Jinna, and Luo Hao immediately became alert and retreated, creating a sufficient distance between themselves and Yan Jun.

The three people's reactions made Yan Jun even more puzzled.

"What are you..."

He subconsciously moved his feet, wanting to go forward and ask.

The next second, Mercury and the other two took out their props, pointed them at him, and shouted, "Stand still!"

"Don't move! If you come any closer, I'll punch you!"

"..."

Although Luo Hao didn't speak, his eyes were filled with coldness.

Yan Jun was completely bewildered by the three people's rejection.

He turned his head to look at Fan Xiao and asked, "What... what happened?"

"Mr. Fan, come over here!"

Jinna called out to Fan Xiao from behind.

“Don’t worry,” Fan Xiao said with a smile, “He poses no danger to us in the inner world.”

"The Other World?" Yan Jun asked, puzzled.

"Oh, you were transferred here early, so you don't know what we speculated about later."

Fan Xiao simply recounted what happened after that to Yan Jun.

After listening, Yan Jun showed a look of understanding.

He had already realized that the Hope Middle School of today was different from the Hope Middle School of the past.

However, he had not systematically grasped all the truth and was still in a state of confusion.

Fan Xiao's words cleared the fog for him.

"Is he really okay?"

Jinna stood at a distance and asked Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao replied, "Be wary of lost companions. This rule applies to the surface world."

"Because after getting separated, companions who are targeted by 'it' and whose cognition is affected may have the same characteristics as black and white people. If we stay in contact with such companions for a long time, we may be pulled into the other world."

"But now that we're in, there's no need to worry about that anymore."

Jin Na and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Trusting Fan Xiao, they reconnected.

Seeing the three of them's strong resistance, Yan Jun couldn't help but feel sorry for himself and said, "Sigh... life is tough."

“The problem lies with you,” Mercury said. “No wonder we don’t trust you.”

"Is something wrong with me?" Yan Jun asked doubtfully. "I only suffered some injuries, everything else is fine, isn't it?"

“Mr. Yan, dogs are land animals, not water animals.”

Jinna reminded him.

Yan Jun paused, stunned: "Dogs...live on the ground?"

"You haven't looked in the mirror today, have you?" Fan Xiao suddenly asked.

"Looking in the mirror? Not yet."

After Yan Jun finished answering, he suddenly realized what was going on.

He quickly took out a mirror from his storage space and looked at himself.

Seeing his hair, which was clearly not a normal color, he froze on the spot: "I...I'm becoming like these students?"

"This must be the consequence of always playing the role of a student."

Fan Xiao concluded: "The closer we get to 'its' common sense, the more we will be assimilated by 'its' common sense."

His stern expression immediately turned grim.

He had realized that his common sense was flawed—he had discerned and was certain of this from the attitudes of Fan Xiao and the other three.

The key point is... he didn't sense anything unusual at all.

If this continues, he might unknowingly become one of those mindless, zombie-like black and white students.

terrible!

"If you don't play the role of a student, you'll be attacked by 'it' and monsters; if you play the role of a student, you'll be assimilated... It's a dead end!"

Mercury frowned and said, "Our previous guess was correct. The later we are pulled into the inner world, the safer we are. Because the later we enter, the shorter the assimilation time. As long as we pay attention to not breaking the rules, we should be fine if we can make it to the fourth day to clear the game."

"What," Fan Xiao laughed, "Is it because I brought you in?"

“No,” Mercury shook his head and said, “We chose to come in on our own.”

“Don’t worry,” Fan Xiao said, “If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to escape this high school today. Our safety is guaranteed. And…”

He paused for a moment, then said, "There is a way to break the cycle of being assimilated by playing the role of a student."
