Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

"It seems that there is nothing special that needs to be cooperated between us."

The only interactions between the two were those few online clashes, and a brief conversation with Li Yin during the incident when she was causing trouble among the Millennium students. However, Danrito himself had almost no deep contact with Himari, so why would Himari seek him out?

"This matter is extremely important. It concerns the fate of the remaining Abydos campus. Danrito, you wouldn't want Abydos, which you've worked so hard to protect, to be completely buried by sand in a matter of seconds, would you?"

There was no threat in Hiruzen's words, Danrito could tell, but with that said, Hiruzen's meaning became very clear.

"What? What disaster is going to happen to Abydos?"

Danrito raised his eyebrows. "And as I recall, Ms. Himari, you're from Millennium Science Academy, right? So why are you meddling in Abydos' affairs?"

"It's just that the object we're tracking happened to be Abydos. Don't overthink it." Himari chuckled, then regained her composure. "Come to think of it, even though I always mention the name of our club, I've never explained what our 'Paranoia Investigation Department' does. So, I'll give you a brief explanation."

A club led by Himari and Amy, or rather consisting of only these two people, was established under the Millennium Seminar to track and study phenomena that are difficult to understand scientifically.

"As for my initial decision to contact you, it's because, like Alice, you come from the 'Ruins'. However, compared to the average creature from the ruins, you and Alice are both significantly different. Equally difficult to understand, equally filled with mystery, but one thing that is understandable is that both you and Alice are willing to contact us students, and most of that is out of goodwill."

Having said that, Himari paused for a moment, but quickly picked up the topic again.

"However, compared to Alice, you obviously have more mysteries. However, that's not what I want to talk about today."

"In the desert of the Abydos school district, Amy and I detected a large-scale, unusual energy fluctuation," Himari said worriedly. "Actually, this kind of unusual energy fluctuation has occurred once before, but that time was a little earlier. Mr. Danrito, do you remember anything?"

"Hmm... can you give me a specific time?" Dan Lidou rolled his neck. "I've done so many great things. Without a specific time, I can't remember exactly what I did."

Himari thought for a moment, "June 6th, 15:04 PM?"

"...Then you should go find a pair of brothers who can chop down trees instead of coming to me." Danrito rolled his eyes, but didn't notice where Himari got this 'knowledge' from: "Seriously?"

"About this time."

Danrito blinked at Himari's words, as if recalling what he had taken out at that time: "It seems like it was when I created the Level X "Alchemist" cartridge..."

When the "Alchemist Player" cartridge was created, a transcendent energy gathered, and then returned to calm. It seemed that the creation of a cartridge that was powerful enough to challenge the rules of Kivotos caused the self-rejection of the "world".

The explosion of special energy also caused a series of subsequent troubles - in fact, it was a sign that the "world" was rejecting and even destroying the "Alchemy Player" cartridge, just like in the immortal cultivation novels, where thunder from the sky was sent down to destroy the cultivators who were undergoing tribulation.

Because once these cultivators survive the thunder tribulation, they become beings beyond the control of the Heavenly Dao. The birth of "Alchemist Player" signified that someone had created something outside the rules. At that time, Dan Lidou, holding the "Alchemist Player" cartridge, unknowingly used the divine power within his body to overcome the force that intended to destroy the cartridge—and this was the truth behind the energy beam that pierced the heavens and earth that day.

Of course, Himari didn't know that much, and neither did Danrito, but that didn't stop Danrito from remembering his only creation that day, the "Alchemist Player" cartridge. Himari couldn't understand the meaning of that energy, but that didn't stop Himari from recording this unique wavelength and readings, and today, energy readings of similar wavelengths were detected in the direction of Abydos.

"This energy fluctuation reading is nearly identical to the energy fluctuations emitted when you created the 'Alchemy Player' cartridge last time."

Danrito narrowed his eyes. "So, you think I did it?"

"That's not the case. We still have that kind of discernment." Himari smiled sweetly. "However, this energy reaction is exactly the same as yours. I think there must be something related to you appearing in that direction. So, our 'Paranoia Investigation Department' will naturally ask you to work with us on this matter~"

"Energy fluctuations similar to mine..." Danrito closed his eyes and pondered the connection. "Since the energy fluctuations are similar to mine, it's not impossible that this thing might have originated from me."

"But being able to emit energy similar to mine doesn't necessarily have to be based on just one reason. Without further evidence, any inference is just wild speculation." Danrito held his phone, his gaze gazing towards Abydos. "We need to see it in person to understand what happened."

157. Teaching with game cartridges is also teaching!

"Mr. Danrito, this is the information that President Nagisa entrusted us to deliver."

When Danrito returned to the cram school, two Trinity students were delivering a set of educational BDs and tactical notes to the classroom. Seeing Danrito push the door open, the two students bowed respectfully and said, "The materials have been delivered. We won't disturb you."

"You're quite efficient." Dan Lidou raised an eyebrow and said, "I thought you wouldn't arrive so early."

"It is our duty as tea party guards to obey President Nagisa's orders."

The two Trinity students didn't say much, simply delivering all the materials Danrito had requested before politely saying their goodbyes and leaving. Danrito was left staring at the pile of textbooks on his desk, and the four supplementary lessons members staring at each other in the audience.

Hifumi looked at the textbooks on the table, which even included the gold and purple textbooks they would use in third grade. "Um, Mr. Danrito, if it's just for our cram school, we don't need the textbooks at the end..."

"Ah, ah, you don't need to worry about that. This is the material I need." Dan Lidou waved his hand, reassuring the students. "In fact, I think that at the rate you're going now, you won't be able to pass the supplementary exam no matter how long you study. No matter what you decide to do, if you fail the exam, you'll probably be expelled from Trinity College."

"Are you being so blunt..." Hifumi's expression darkened a little. "Ahaha, I understand our grades are a bit poor, but they shouldn't be so bad that we can't pass the exam..."

"..." Hanako, who usually would interrupt and tell dirty jokes, did not say anything, although he maintained his calm expression.

"How is that possible! I will definitely pass the supplementary course exam!"

With a bang on the table, Xiaochun excitedly stood up from her chair. "Hasumi-senpai and the others are still waiting for me to return! I want to return to the Justice Enforcement Committee and become a qualified member, maintaining order together with Hasumi-senpai and everyone else! How can I be expelled from a place like this just because of failing grades!"

"Don't worry, there's no point in worrying. If worrying could solve the problem, we wouldn't need to stay in the cram school."

Zi was still the same as before, his expression looked very calm, so calm that everyone was wondering if Zi didn't take the cram school exam seriously at all, or if Zi wasn't worried about being expelled at all?

No, in the drawer, hidden from everyone's view, Zi's fists were clenched tightly, even trembling a little. Zi also had the intention of not dropping out of school, and he couldn't let all his previous efforts go to waste just because of an exam.

Hifumi stood up with her hands on the desk and looked directly into Danrito's eyes. "So! Even if you, Mr. Danrito, think we can't pass, we will study hard and pass the supplementary course exam! How can our school life end here?!"

"Ha... When did I ever say I was giving up on you?"

Danrito looked at Hifumi with a childlike gaze. The child must have been imagining something, and then suddenly her blood started boiling. But it seemed that Danrito had never said anything about giving up on these students from the cram school. "Wasn't that the first part just to explain the current situation?"

"Okay, that seems so..." Hifumi smiled brightly, and then found out rather embarrassedly that she seemed to have over-imagined it.

"Besides, why are you so excited?" Danrito put his hands on his hips and proudly declared to the four students present: "As long as I'm here, even if you're really at the end of your rope, I can still find a way for you! Taking the exam is a piece of cake. Even if you're all idiots with zero IQ, I'll still find a way for you to pass!"

Koharu's face flushed red, probably because she was always being called an idiot. Just like a certain ice fairy, when she heard the word "idiot," she would instinctively retort, "I, I'm not an idiot!!"

Hifumi nodded in agreement, "That's right! Even if we're dumb, our IQ can't be zero!"

"Okay, now you've heard my promise, don't doubt my abilities!"

Danrito glared at the people present. "Anyway, these textbooks are useful. Next, I'll develop a game cartridge that will allow you to easily complete all of Trinity's courses within the game world. While I'm working on the game cartridge, you can continue studying at your own pace."

Hifumi was puzzled: "For reading..."

Hanako's eyes flickered: "Game cartridge?"

"I've looked at your course schedule. There will be a practical exam after three mock exams. Although it sounds like plenty of time, it's also quite tight."

Danrito picked up one of the purple tactical notebooks and flipped through it briefly before frowning. Because Kivotos's knowledge system differed from Danrito's, even Danrito would have to devote considerable effort to re-analyzing the knowledge contained in these most advanced technical notes. However, the knowledge contained in the more common gray and blue notebooks was a piece of cake.

"Developing something like this takes time, so I definitely won't be able to get it out in a day or two. However, I'll try to get the tape out before the third mock exam."

In other words, this so-called educational and entertaining cartridge is essentially Danrito breaking down the knowledge into pieces, chewing it himself, and understanding it thoroughly before splitting it into game cartridges and feeding it to these students - it sounds disgusting, but that's what happens.

Who said Danrito couldn't teach?! That's it!

After concluding her thoughts, Hanako raised her head and finally said to Danrito, "Mr. Danrito, I think you should also know that this is not the only problem troubling the supplementary lessons club."

"Yes, so what?"

He packed up all the textbooks on the table and stuffed them into his game area. "Since you're students, you should just think about things within the scope of being a student. You're just overthinking all that nonsense."

Danrito's words, though crude, pointed out the reason why children like Hifumi and the others were now experiencing such a mess. It was simply because they thought too much.

Danrito shook his head. "Even if there's a halo on your head, it won't make much difference to me."

"Gatling Gatling~Gatling Gatling~"

Danrito's phone rang again, and at the same time, the clock on the wall reached the end of school. He glanced up at the alarm clock, and the bell for the end of get out of class echoed throughout Trinity—a resounding, brazen chime.

Dang——dang——dang——

"get out of class dismissed, everyone."

Danrito walked out of the classroom on his own, leaving Hifumi and the others looking at each other in bewilderment. Their first class with Danrito ended in such a disappointing manner.

The call that Danrito received was not from Himari, but from Momo, the game development department.

"Danrito! Our game is ready!" Tao's energetic voice came over the phone, "Hurry up and bring back the blank cartridges! We're all ready!"

158. Just study and think of the solution.

"Danrito! Our game is done!"

Momo's energetic voice came over the phone, brightening Dan Rito's spirits. Given their time together, Momo and Lu were already old acquaintances. Add to that their shared roles as game producers and the fact they were already slated for the job, and the game development department held a special place in Dan Rito's heart.

"Xiao Tao, is that game you said you'd make for Xiao Lu finished now?" After calculating the time, Tan Lidou nodded with satisfaction. "Regardless of the quality, the pace has definitely picked up. It seems you're used to working with a clear schedule. Well done!"

"Hmm, that doesn't matter who it is!" Xiao Tao's smug expression at the moment seemed to suggest she'd inherited some of Danrito's true talents. Perhaps it was because anyone who spent enough time with this guy would become more cheerful. However, the game development department was currently in a very good position, perhaps due to their close relationship with Danrito.

"The game software is already complete inside the Genesis MK1. We're just waiting for you, Danrito, to bring back the blank cards!"

Xiaotao seemed to be in a good mood, which was naturally due to the completion of their predetermined work goals. The originally boring game development process was completely replaced by this super game production platform made by Danrito.

In addition, the salary of the game development department has been improved for some reason, so Xiaotao and the others who were originally worried about the disbanding of the department finally let go of the burden in their hearts and started the happy journey of game production.

"Okay, class at Trinity is over now, wait for me to get back!"

Danrito hung up the phone and was about to walk, but his eyes fell on Hifumi who seemed to be about to say something.

Jiuwu Mountain is famous for its wine.

After Dan Reito hung up, Hifumi finally found an opportunity to speak. Curiously looking at Dan Reito's phone, Hifumi asked, "Mr. Dan Reito, was the person you were talking to just now a student from the next door academy?"

"Yes, the students from next door, Millennium." Danrito nodded. "They mentioned the new game they were developing before, and now it's finally finished, just one last step. That's why they asked me to be the club advisor. This time, they're developing a project independently from start to finish. I'm also very curious about the final outcome of this project!"

Upon hearing this, Hifumi's face lit up with envy. "Are you a student from Millennium... That's awesome! Your usual club activities are just playing games, right? Life at school must be really fun, right?"

"Are you happy? Maybe, but Yuzu and the others have their own problems to solve before that." As the troubleshooter of the game development department and the chief contributor to keeping the game development department from disbanding, Danrito naturally knows the crisis that Momo and the others had faced.

"Millennium is a school that values ​​results. Honestly, I don't know how the Game Development Club managed to survive before the Millennium Awards. But considering that other Millennium clubs have some practical significance, the Game Development Club is probably a low-ranking club in Millennium Academy. Or, in other words, it's purely the personal circle of Yuzu, the club leader."

Danrito stroked his chin, pondering the game development department he'd witnessed recently. "They don't have any lofty ideals. At best, they're just a group of enthusiasts who came together because they wanted to make games. In the beginning, the game development department was just a small, private room where Director Yuzu could escape to the negative reviews of the game."

"And the second and third members of the game club are just friends who gathered around Yuzu because they admire his talent."

Hifumi hummed, then thought for a moment before carefully asking, "I heard that clubs at Millennium Academy that don't achieve anything will be disbanded. According to what you said, Mr. Danrito, the game development club that Ms. Yuzu founded must have produced some results, right?"

"Indeed," Danrito nodded. "When this rule was announced, they also devised many ways to ensure that their place wouldn't be destroyed. The Game Development Department was originally where these three formed their bond, which is probably why they're determined to protect it at all costs."

"But, as I said before," Danrito recalled what happened not long ago, "the game development department itself was a safe house that Yuzu built as a place to escape reality because of the large number of negative reviews for the game."

"Even though Xiaotao and the others work hard to protect their place, talent and innate ability are hurdles that cannot be bypassed on the road to game production."

Games are called the ninth art. Although there are still many different opinions, one thing we can admit is that if good games can be made just by hard work, then there would be good games everywhere by now.

"However, their willingness to risk everything in their quest for a miracle in the face of danger to prevent their club from disbanding is truly a chance for success." Danrito suddenly straightened his back. "It was because Momo and the others refused to give up that they found me during their exploration of the ruins below! In the end, they were able to save the day with my game cartridge! That's right, I am the very definition of miracle! Hahahaha!"

"Really? I thought you were going to say something profound and moving, Mr. Danrito. But after all that talk, you ended up talking about yourself!"

Hifumi was stunned for a moment before realizing that Danrito had laid so much groundwork beforehand, and that the final result was revealed because of Danrito's appearance. Because Momo and the others had found Danrito, the game development department hadn't disbanded. "So what was the point of all that talk before?!"

"Hahahaha...what I mean is—"

Danrito stretched out his large hand and placed it on Hifumi's head. "Sometimes, your own efforts have their limits. When you feel like you can't hold on any longer, having someone to help you push you can make all the difference."

Danrito was not gentle, even a little rude. He messed up Hifumi's head. Facing the somewhat angry Hifumi, Danrito said arrogantly, "They are just a bunch of brats. They really think they can handle anything. Humph, they don't have my talents, but they want to be the mastermind of everything. That's it? Sooner or later, they will fall."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Hifumi covered her head in confusion. "What do you mean by strategizing and failing?"

"It's nothing. This isn't something you should worry about." Danrito withdrew his hand and walked towards the nearest network port. "Just study to the best of your ability. I'll leave it to you to pass the exam."

Yes, they were just a few immature students, thinking deeply about this and dealing with that every day, and finally got themselves into trouble. How could he, Danrito, not see through their little thoughts?

159. Color Splash game cartridge

As for how Nagisa from the tea party came to suspect these four people, in a sense, the four people in the cram school club were carefully selected and joined this cram school club which was set up just to get rid of students.

"According to Shengya's prophetic dream, I conducted a large amount of intelligence collection and screening among the students of Holy Trinity. I ultimately identified four suspects."

Among these four people, Hifumi is actually a bit special. In terms of relationship, this ordinary child Hifumi actually has a very close friendship with Nagisa, the host of the tea party, and Nagisa actually likes Hifumi very much.

However, recently, it seems that because he was too obsessed with Pelolo, his academic performance has declined seriously during this period. He even skipped the school exams to collect Pelolo's connections, which caused him to fail the exam.

However, if Hifumi could temporarily abandon her fanatical obsession with Pelolo and study seriously for a period of time, it would be entirely possible for her to graduate successfully from the supplementary school club with her original foundation.

"I personally like Hifumi, but if I consider that approaching me is also a trap, then this child who keeps coming into contact with me becomes suspicious."

During their previous meeting, Nagisa realized that Danrito had already understood her meaning and even deduced the purpose of the cram school club. Nagisa no longer concealed her feelings. She also revealed the reason why she had chosen these four people, which Danrito wanted to know.

"Rumor has it that Hifumi-san once had contact with an unknown force and seemed to have received something from them. We can't verify this for now. Also, Hifumi-san recently visited the ruins of the amusement park."

Nagisa put down the cup of black tea in her hand and said seriously to Danrito, "As for the ruins of the amusement park, we recently confirmed that they are indeed connected to that unknown force. Given that this force could have a very serious impact on the Holy Trinity and even Kivotos, we must treat this matter with caution."
