Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

"Control the situation around here and don't let those little zombies come in to disturb us. Leave this to me!"

Danrito raised his shield and blocked another lightning strike: "Professionals do professional things!"

"By the way, you can also take in those people over there." Danrito gestured in Kayoko's direction. "Those are the students we rescued from Gehenna's Discipline Committee. It should be okay for them to protect Gehenna's students, right?"

……

"Everyone, follow my command! Block the surrounding zombies and control the central battlefield! Tanks retreat and accurately strike the main targets!"

Hinata's orders were faithfully carried out by the Discipline Committee, who began clearing obstacles for Danreto, allowing him to focus on the zombie monster. Raising his shield to block another lightning strike, Danreto's holy sword drew close, leaving a trail of flaming fire on the opponent's body.

Hit!

Only EA-series weapons are most effective against the monsters created by these cartridges. Danri Touko also has experience in battling large monsters!

Hit! Hit! Great! Perfect!

Danrito's footsteps were swift and agile, like a nimble mountain dog. He completely drew the zombie's attention to himself as he twirled and twisted. He controlled the zombie's movements with his ice sword, then delivered a fierce blow with his fire sword. When the zombie fought back, he used his holy shield to block the attack.

Dan Lidou transformed into a ruthless one-handed warrior and continuously chased the monster in front of him. The helpless and furious zombie monster simply activated the biological arc launcher behind him and launched indiscriminate lightning attacks all over his body. However, for Dan Lidou, this was just a last-ditch struggle before failure.

"The winning move!"

Danrito turned the medicine bottle on his waist, and the alchemy cartridge began to blend again. He inserted the glowing alchemy cartridge into his winning skill slot, and the potion's ultimate move was completely blended!

'Alchemy Critical Droplet!'

The color of the potion bottle changed to off-white. Danrito kicked the potion out, and it landed on the zombie monster. The zombie monster, who had been roaring, suddenly fell silent. The double debuff potion of "weakened defense" and "slowed movement" immediately turned the zombie monster into a sitting duck.

“It’s time to wrap it up—!”

Danrito inserted the "Action X" cartridge into the gashacon sword and pressed the B button to activate his special move, sending the blade ablaze. Against the zombies, fire was the best weapon. Danrito leaped into the air, like a falling phoenix, slashing down with a consuming fire!

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect!

'A knowing blow! '

Before the blazing flames soared into the sky, Danrito landed gracefully, ripping the "Dangerous Zombie" cartridge from the zombie monster's chest. Without the cartridge's power supply, and the complete destruction of his special attack, the zombie monster struggled for a moment before collapsing to the ground, reduced to a pile of data fragments.

Game clear!

The meeting of the Mathematical Secret Society was in progress. Aside from Beatrice, who was still far away in her base camp, the other three members of the Mathematical Secret Society had been meeting here for a long time.

"Well, it looks like the zombie monster has been defeated, and even the cassette has been recovered."

Golconda, seemingly observing the final result using a divination technique similar to the Water Mirror Technique, sighed, "But this is the best possible ending."

"Golconda, I see you don't seem that lost."

The man standing next to Golconda was in black. At this moment, he was observing the notes in Golconda's hand with great interest. It seemed to be some of Golconda's experiences. The ink was not dry yet, and it looked like it was just freshly written.

"But wouldn't it be a waste to just use this hard-earned cassette once and then throw it away?"

The master standing by revealed longing in his eyes. It seemed that he was really envious of Danrito's cassette.

"You must have put a lot of effort into getting that cassette."

"It takes a long time to bury the chess piece, and it probably won't be easy to do it again in the future."

Golconda admitted, "It's certainly easier to deal with without the mysterious intelligent robot, but Danrito will definitely not let this happen a second time."

"So, why not keep the cassette as research material?" the master asked impatiently.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Golconda placed his notebook on the table in front of him. "We can't use cassettes. They are a product that is different from our path. But any inspiration we gain from them is something we can integrate and integrate. After all, knowledge can be integrated."

"You mean..." Heifu's eyes lit up: "Are all the things in here?"

"We can't use Danrito's tapes, but his advanced ideas can be absorbed by us and used to perfect our own path."

Golconda explained to the two people before him, "The game cartridge itself is a 'carrier,' like a certain ability, or even a law, stored within it. The player driver is like the 'solution' to access this law. Danrito, this genius, has his own unique way of understanding the world. When I received the cartridge, I began to wonder why he could go so far beyond us."

"Our goal is to achieve our own mysteries. Although our understanding of the world may differ, our ultimate goal is the same. If we rashly follow someone else's path, we will end up learning nothing but a haphazard blend."

Golconda pushed his notes forward. "I've gained a lot of insights from my previous observations and experiments. If possible, could you all study and interpret them with me?"

199. When people are pushed to the limit, they will do anything except mathematics.

"Wow~ It's Peloro-sama's doll! And Peloro-sama's friends!"

Hifumi stared in amazement at the various Peloro dolls piled up like a small mountain before her, her eyes almost shining. "Is today a good holiday? By the way, Mr. Danrito, where were you yesterday?"

"Well...we went to various places."

The Peloro dolls in the box were dumped out in one go, forming a small pile on the ground. This shocking scene attracted the attention of the four people in the cram school.

Hanako supported her cheeks and lay lazily on the table. There was not a single word written on the test paper in front of her - well, although there were no words, there were many blushing and heart-pounding patterns drawn on it, which made Koharu beside her unable to control her eyes several times.

"Eh~ What's Mr. Danrito up to? After disappearing for a day, are these the gifts he brought back for us?"

"A gift?" Hifumi happily picked up a Peloroo from the ground and nuzzled it contentedly in her arms before looking at Danrito. "Oh, yeah, why would Mr. Danrito buy us something?"

"Because, a lot of things happened..."

The box of dolls in Danrito's hand was one of the "gifts" he received after resolving the zombie outbreak yesterday, when he was mistakenly deemed a hero for saving the Gehenna school district. Given Danrito's inherent audacity, he confidently took full credit for resolving this "crisis" he had no real connection to.

"That's right, I solved it! Please come to Dream Game more often in the future!"

Objectively speaking, Danrito had indeed become a great hero of the Gehenna school district, so it was understandable that he was given gifts by a group of enthusiastic students. This large box of various Peloro doll peripherals was a special gift from the Momo Group, which happened to be in the center of the disaster, in recognition of Danrito's heroic act.

"It's hard to explain the whole thing, but I remember you, Hifumi, really liked this big white goose." Danrito reached out and grabbed a Peloro, squeezing it in his hand, making a funny 'puff' sound. "So I brought them all here, and you can take whatever you want."

"Great! There are limited edition dolls in here that I haven't collected yet!" Hifumi happily held up a Peloro wearing knight armor. "This! It's a special gift from Peloro's anniversary celebration, Knight Peloro-sama! It's said that this is a version that the company will never sell again. I'm even thinking about going to Momo's headquarters just for Knight Peloro!"

"Yes, what are you going to do...?" Xiaochun picked up a doll named "Skeleton Man" and asked nervously.

"Of course I convinced them with my sincere words and sold them the Knight Peloro doll to me!" Hifumi said righteously, but then she added softly, "...If they can't buy it, I can only use a hidden plan..."

"Eh? What did you say?" Xiaochun didn't hear the second half of Hifumi's words. She moved the wings on her head and asked curiously, "What did you say just now?"

"Ah? Ahahaha~ Nothing, nothing~"

Hifumi laughed heartily, covering up her recent outburst. Azusa, standing nearby, seemed to be showing some fondness for the Peloros, her eyes sparkling. But then, as if she had thought of something, she tried hard to shift her gaze away from the Peloros and focus on the green plants in the corner.

"Huh?" Hifumi noticed Azusa's look away and came over with the doll in her hand. "Azusa, don't you like Peloro? Yesterday I told you a lot about Peloro's cuteness. Weren't you listening and paying attention?"

As she spoke, Hifumi lifted the Peloro in her hand and placed it flat in front of Azusa: "Look! Isn't it cute?"

"Hmm... it's really cute..." Azusa tried hard to look to the side, but couldn't resist Hifumi holding the doll in her face with a sunny smile, "But, but, everything is empty. Even things you like will eventually disappear..."

"Huh? What kind of weird words are these?"

Hifumi asked in confusion, "Azusa-chan, what's wrong with you? Don't you like this doll? Then I'll get you another one!"

As she spoke, Hifumi picked up another posing Peloro: "Look at this! It's Peloro-sama taking a nap. How about it, isn't it cute?"

Hifumi's inexplicably rekindled desire to promote Peloro suddenly led to a strange "Peloro-sama and his companions introduction meeting," and Koharu was dragged along to observe. However, given Hifumi's constant insistence on promoting her beloved Peloro, I'm sure Koharu, who still finds it difficult to refuse her classmates' invitations, will soon learn to say "no" to Peloro cults.

"What a peaceful scene." Hanako held her face with a smile, admiring the cute looks of her juniors. However, after a while, Hanako's attention was focused on Danrito who was tinkering with something nearby.

At some point, Danrito had pulled out a machine whose purpose was unclear, and was inserting a cassette into it while debugging something on his laptop. Hanako was quite surprised by the sight of him being so busy.

"Mr. Danrito, what are you doing?"

"Didn't I tell you before? A custom-made game cartridge for the cram school." Danrito continued typing, his fingers practically forming shadows on the keyboard. "I stayed up a bit late last night working on it, and now I just need to finish it up."

"Ah~" Hanako's eyes widened slightly. "I thought you were just saying it casually, but there really is a game that you can play while studying?"

"Originally, there wasn't any, but with me here, there is!" Tan Lidou boasted proudly, "There's nothing I can do about it, I'm just such a genius!"

"Hey~~" Hanako said, "So, can we also do the 'learning while doing' thing?"

"Of course—huh?"

Danrito paused his movements and shifted his gaze to Hanako's face. "What...did you say?"

Hanako held her face, her cheeks slightly red, her eyes wandering, "Can you even do 'studying while doing ○○'?"

"Hiss—" Dan Lidou gasped, "This woman is so terrifying!—But she really can do it, I promise. However, I don't think you will like it."

"Huh? Why?" Hanako asked in confusion, "Isn't it said that sexual interest is the best teacher?"

"Honestly, Hanako-san, straighten your tongue and don't stress it," Danrito corrected Hanako, who had deliberately emphasized a certain word. "Honestly, 'solve a problem a few times' sounds like a cool idea, but I guarantee that if you're extremely anxious, you'll be driven crazy."

Hanako imagined it for a moment, then stood in awe. "Perhaps, at a certain point, a ruthless problem-solving machine will be born."

Danrito pressed the button, ending the program. "It's also possible it's simply frozen—people can do anything when they're desperate, except math. If they can't do it, they just can't do it."

200. Dear students, let’s brush up on the Study Pass~

"Okay, my dear classmates, let's put Peloro down first. It's time to end this unproductive study session."

Danrito clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the four students from the cram school. In his hands was a yellow and white cassette tape, the one that had been inserted into the machine.

"What is this?" Hifumi asked curiously, "It looks like Peloro."

Danrito held up the cassette tape. "This will be the game cassette tape that will allow the remedial class to pass the remedial exam perfectly. Sphinx Riddle!"

"Hmm, that sounds like a very Abydosian name." Hanako stretched her waist. It seemed that she had been sitting for a while, and the stretching movement alone made her body feel a little turbulent. "So, how do you use this game cartridge?"

Game cartridges were a new thing, and only a few Trinity students who really didn't like games had ever tried them. But after others spread the word, even these most conservative Trinity students had heard about the "switching to game cartridges." And students like Hanako, who were open-minded, had already tried them the day the cartridges were released.

Knowing how incredibly advanced this "game cartridge conversion" technology was, Hanako couldn't help but be curious when Danrito pulled out a brand new cartridge. She also wanted to know how Danrito would ensure everyone passed the exam the proper way.

"Just like Hanako said, interest is the best teacher." Danrito pressed the game cartridge in his hand, and the game field quickly expanded, enveloping him and the four students in the cram school club. "I'm not a good teacher, but I'm good at making games!"

"So, let me guide you with my best skill, game!"

Game start!

The surrounding scenery changed rapidly. In the sky of a sand planet, five figures appeared in the azure sky and fell downwards.

"Aeeee? Why?"

Hifumi was stunned for a moment, the whistling wind in her ears blew her bangs, and the feeling of weightlessness made her mind blank for a moment. Then, ten thousand meters above the sky, the screams of girls rang out one after another.

“Aa ...

Hifumi first covered her skirt which was blown up by the wind, and then she looked around in panic. She could see Danrito leisurely sitting on an air stool with his legs crossed, falling down, and she could also see Koharu who was also panicking to the point of tears trying to flap her wings, as if that could make her fly.

A little further away, although Azusa's face was a little pale, his body habitually made parachute movements, while Hanako on the side did not seem to be afraid at all. It would be better to say that she was simply enjoying the feeling of falling from a height of ten thousand meters.

"Okay, stop yelling. This is in the gaming world. Come on, special forces~"

Danrito admired the expressions of Hifumi and the others for a long time. When they were finally about to touch the ground, their falling speed gradually slowed down until they landed on the ground as light as feathers.

"Ha, ha, ha..." Hifumi gasped, her face still showing a look of shock: "Next time, please don't be so scary!"

Xiaochun rubbed her face vigorously. During the rapid fall just now, Xiaochun thought that her facial features were about to be blown away by the wind: "Help... My heart... is about to jump out of my mouth..."

"Haha, sorry, sorry, I forgot to change the spawn location back," Danrito apologized unapologetically. "Don't you think this opening is pretty cool? It effectively relieves stress and allows players to fully immerse themselves in the game. It's a very Zen-like design, isn't it?"

"Zen, Zen, you big-headed ghost!" Xiaochun was angry!

Bai Zhouzi on the side repeated "Everything is nothingness" more than ten times in a row before he suppressed the expression on his face. This was much more exciting than when he saw Pelolo just now!

"Haha~ I think it's quite good~" Hanako chuckled. "Now that we know this is the gaming realm, I'll find everything interesting. In other words, the more unimaginable the arrangement, the better."

After everyone landed safely and relaxed a little from the shock they had just felt, the girls from the cram school department began to look at the surrounding scenery.

This is a circular white platform raised in the desert. Although it is a desert, it does not give people a feeling of desolation and loneliness, but rather a magnificent and open view. In front of this magnificent view, the platform seems very monotonous. After all, it is really just an ordinary circular platform. Apart from the Sphinx statue in the center of the platform, there is no other decoration.

"What is this game...about?" Hanako looked around. "Is it just a different lecture venue? Wouldn't that be a bit boring?"

"'Mystery of the Sphinx' is a puzzle game that provides puzzles, rewards, and punishments based on the player's interests. This is a learning version for internal use. The official version will not include so much professional knowledge."

Danrito briefly explained the content of the game. It is a game that gives positive and negative feedback based on the player's interests. As for what the player's interests are... the analysis function of the cartridge can analyze this problem in a few small questions. There is no need to question Danrito's ability!

"Depending on the player's interests..."

The four people present seemed to be lost in thought. Then, Hifumi became excited, Shirasu Azusa pondered, Koharu's face suddenly turned red, and Hanako showed an expression of interest.

Xiaochun blushed and stammered, "Wait, wait a minute! Will this interest... be seen by others?!"

Danrito raised an eyebrow. "Ah, I know some people are too embarrassed to talk about their hobbies..."

"Who's too embarrassed to speak up! Pervert! Obscene! Death penalty!"

Danrito squinted at Koharu. "...So, during the game, each player will have their own independent space. The launch version is basically played by one person. Next time, I'll mark the age limit."
