Chapter 22

Chapter 22

The day’s gaming was over.

Originally, Lin Chen had planned to check out the forum.

At this moment, Bai Shuyi knocked on the door.

Lin Chen opened the door and asked, “What’s up?”

“I transferred to the university here!”

Bai Shuyi responded.

However, Lin Chen was dumbfounded. “What does that have to do with me?”

“You!”

Bai Shuyi was speechless. She could not help but complain, “We’re friends after all, and we’re roommates. In the future, we’ll still be schoolmates. Don’t you think you should accompany me to school tomorrow to help me familiarize myself with the environment?”

Lin Chen understood what Bai Shuyi meant.

Logically speaking, her request was not too much.

After all, Lin Chen was now living in Bai Shuyi’s house.

This house was no longer his.

Moreover, Bai Shuyi had promised to lend him money in the future.

What a good friend!

She just wanted Lin Chen to be her friend and bring her to familiarize herself with the school.

Was that too much to ask?

It was not too much at all!

However, Lin Chen had been reborn.

He knew that the world was about to face a huge change.

So in Lin Chen’s opinion, studying?

What was the point of studying!

Could studying save lives when the game invaded?

It wouldn’t!

According to Lin Chen’s memory, the invasion of the game was an invasion from another world. It was even more spectacular and terrifying than the scenes in science fiction movies. Even all the nuclear weapons on the Blue Planet could not stop it if they were fired together!

Lin Chen had even seen with his own eyes the Level 80 Dark Demon Dragon Boss that could withstand the attack of a missile!

From this, it could be seen that these creatures, or rather, monsters, could not be harmed by guns and cannons.

On the other hand, the laser cannon could still deal with them.

However, technology like laser cannons had just been developed on the Blue Planet not long ago. There were very few of them, and they would be used up very quickly.

Therefore, only magic could defeat magic.

As for technology…

Perhaps, it could defeat the invaders in the future.

But definitely not now.

Even if he did his best to study now, it would be too late.

It was useless.

Even technology was useless, let alone studying.

Therefore, when Lin Chen heard that Bai Shuyi still wanted to go to school, his first reaction was… Was there something wrong with this girl’s brain?

Moreover, she wanted to drag him to school with her?

Wasn’t this a waste of time!

“What’s with that look? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Bai Shuyi had a strange look on her face.

Lin Chen could not explain it clearly. Even if he was willing to talk about rebirth, Bai Shuyi would not believe him. She might even think that he was crazy. Even if she believed him, this was Lin Chen’s biggest secret. He could not say it!

“I can’t. I have things to do in the next few days. I’m not free at all.”

Lin Chen found an excuse.

“What do you have to do?” Bai Shuyi did not understand.

“I really have something. From tomorrow onwards, I have to take three days off. I was just about to send a message to the class director!”

As he spoke, Lin Chen sent a message to the director asking for leave in front of Bai Shuyi.

The class director replied with an OK gesture and a message. “I’ll help you notify all the subject teachers… However, Lin Chen, you can’t take leave all the time. Come to school when you’re free. Let’s talk face to face!”

“Alright!”

Lin Chen replied.

Agreeing was one thing.

As for going to school to chat?

Sure!

He definitely had to go to school.

However, Lin Chen wanted to wait until after the game invaded.

Definitely not now.

As Lin Chen spoke, he showed Bai Shuyi the dialog box.

“Alright, since you have something to do, then forget it.” Bai Shuyi did not say anything.

It was getting late. This time, Bai Shuyi ordered takeout and treated Lin Chen to a meal. Although the two of them did not say anything, they had a tacit understanding. Lin Chen prepared lunch, and Bai Shuyi was in charge of dinner.

She even ordered crayfish. Life was interesting.

After all, she was a rich girl.

There was a lot of crayfish, and the price was also expensive.

Lin Chen could be considered to have benefited from it.

The night passed uneventfully.

When he woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day.

Lin Chen looked at the calendar.

April 16th!

There were still twelve days before the game invasion.

He thought about the resources he had accumulated in the game, including various secondary class materials, crafted equipment materials, sets of equipment of various levels, and so on. He had already opened a hundred warehouses in Heavenly Moon City to store them.

In addition, there were more than 90 pets, all of which were at least of perfect quality.

Then, there was Sky Moon City and three small armies.

The Skymoon Knights, the Skymoon Warriors, and the Skymoon Mages.

The army was a huge gamble. After all, Lin Chen did not know if these NPCs of different races would resign and leave on the spot when the game invaded in the future. However, if the recruitment hall still spawned such a top-notch army, Lin Chen would definitely recruit them.

Then, there were the NPCs.

With so many resources and a city,

and also including his top-notch equipment, two Epic pets, and a Mythical Vermillion Bird…

The preparations in the game should be almost done.

The next step was to let Zhang Chunlin continue buying.

After clearing the new Instance Dungeon and getting three sets of pet equipment, they would be almost done.

Lin Chen knew how to clear this new dungeon.

Moreover, there was a bug in the new dungeon.

This was normal.

There would be some problems with any new game. Although New World claimed that there had never been a bug in 20 years, there was still a problem now that it was about to stop.

However, rather than calling it a bug, Lin Chen suspected that it might be a programmer from the planning company who used the program to interfere with the Cosmic Stone’s forcibly embedded program. The goal was to give back to more players in the final moments!

Of course, this was only Lin Chen’s guess.

After all, in Lin Chen’s memory, this bug would not be discovered until tomorrow.

If the planning company really wanted to give everyone benefits, they could just announce it directly!

In any case, the game was about to close down. Why hide such a thing?

Lin Chen did not have the habit of eating breakfast, so he went online directly.

He looked at his friend list and realized that Liu Mengyao was online and in a party mode, so he applied to join. The two of them were a couple in the game, so he could directly join the group if they chose the setting where they could join each other without waiting for permission.

After Lin Chen went in, he found two other people he was familiar with.

Delicate Little Bird, Snow Foam.

“You guys are here too?”

Lin Chen asked curiously.

Snow Foam asked, “I was waiting for you. Aren’t we going to the new dungeon today?”

“Okay, there’s one more person. I’ll pull him into the party.”

Lin Chen nodded. Then, he realized that Zhang Chunlin was not online. He could only temporarily go offline to give him a call. Lin Chen knew that he would definitely be up at this time, so when the call went through, he said directly, “I’m online. I’m going to the dungeon.”

“Boss, you’re really focused on the game. Didn’t you see our class group chat?” Zhang Chunlin actually brought up another matter.

“I didn’t… Besides, didn’t you leave the class group?”

Lin Chen said that he didn’t care about class or whatever.

There was no need.

“The class group, well I was pulled back by Teacher Zhu again. I just joined this morning, but as soon as I went in, I saw Zhou the gossip target you in the group. He even criticized you for taking a long leave in the group. He even said that you were only in school for a few days during the entire semester. Then, Ye Tenglong and the others started to jeer in the group. They were all defaming you!”

After Zhang Chunlin finished speaking, he even said that he couldn’t take it anymore. “Pfft! Who do you think he think he is? I can’t stand Ye Tenglong. I have to rebuke him!”

In the end, Lin Chen, who was the person involved, said, “Why are you arguing with him? Hurry up and go online. Don’t worry about anything else. Let’s go through the dungeon first!”

Lin Chen’s reaction was to not care.

He didn’t even react when someone was riding on his face. If it wasn’t not caring, what was it?

Zhang Chunlin said that he would be online soon.

However, when Lin Chen opened the class group chat, he saw a message.

[Zhang Chunlin: Oh, Young Master Ye, you make it sound like you’ve been attending a lot of classes in one semester. Hehe, you want to report this to the Academic Affairs Office? Sure, go! When the time comes, everyone will be punished together. And you guys, who didn’t skip class! At most, I’ll go to the Academic Affairs Office to self-destruct first and then explode all at once. Do you want me to go to the school forum again? There are still such talents in my studio!]

[Ye Tenglong: Zhang Chunlin, you’re going bankrupt, aren’t you? Hehe, now you have Lin Chen, that idiot who’s still spending money on a dying game to rescue you. Are you so protective of him because of that? I’m telling you to be careful. If you really expose everyone, I’ll cripple you. Do you believe me?]

[Zhang Chunlin: Hehe, don’t you just have a big brother in the underworld? He’s even a moneylender. Do you really think you’re so awesome? I’m also warning you, Ye Tenglong. Don’t pretend in front of me in the future. If you anger me, I’ll hire 3,000 people to expose you and your brother’s matters on various media websites. I’ll definitely make you brothers famous in the country… No, the world!]

How domineering!

Zhang Chunlin was an IT man and had a professional studio under him. He could really do these things.

These words immediately shut Ye Tenglong’s mouth and he didn’t dare to make a fuss anymore.

However, from the beginning to the end, Lin Chen had never cared about Ye Tenglong.

Nor did he ask Zhang Chunlin to protect him.

As for Lin Chen emptying Zhang Chunlin’s inventory, it had indeed helped him, but Zhang Chunlin had never asked for a high price for Lin Chen. He even helped Lin Chen collect things every day, only asking for a few thousand to hand over to the studio.

But now, Zhang Chunlin had offended Ye Tenglong more than once because of Lin Chen. This time, he even disparaged Ye Tenglong’s brother, the biggest local bully in Dragon Sea City!

From this point of view, Zhang Chunlin was indeed a very loyal person.

This was a good friend.

As for Ye Tenglong…

Lin Chen couldn’t be bothered. In his memory, Ye Tenglong was the among first batch of people to sell their accounts.

Therefore, after the game invaded, Ye Tenglong and his brother, Brother Tiger, were still ordinary people.

In Lin Chen’s eyes, they were even inferior to ants!

After a while, Zhang Chunlin came online.

The five-man team headed straight for the Heavenly Palace.
