Chapter 5: It's None of My Business (Seeking Comments, Recommendations, and Favorites)

The next day, Li Changhe rode his bike to school as usual.

There was traffic on the bridge again, not because of any event this time. However, many police cars were patrolling back and forth. There were also police speedboats patrolling the river.

"I heard that another person was killed last night. They say it's the work of that psychopathic serial killer!"

"I saw the news too. Last night, all the police in Yanyun were dispatched, blocking the bridge and checking people's identities."

"Sigh, it's been restless here in Yanyun lately. When will they catch this guy?"

People were chatting on the non-motorized vehicle lane.

Li Changhe looked expressionlessly at the distance.

[Trigger Passive, Eagle Eye] His gaze instantly extended to several hundred meters away.

At the other end of the bridge, there were many police officers checking vehicles. There were also men in black suits standing on both sides. The traffic slowed down as a result. Even though the commuters were angry, they had to accept the inspection. They were also afraid of the psychopathic serial killer hiding nearby.

In fact, that Harpy was the psychopathic serial killer, but it had already been killed by Li Changhe. What the police really wanted to find was the [Player].

"It seems they also noticed that the Harpy from yesterday had its [Player] qualification taken away." Li Changhe pondered silently, as he had escaped last night when the strange space began to break apart. There wasn't time to dispose of the monster's body, so the police and [Great Wall] should have found clues from the body already.

"However, since I destroyed the evidence, they shouldn't be able to trace it to me." Li Changhe didn't continue looking. Who knows if there were [Players] among those people? It would be terrible if they were alerted like Yang Dong last night.

Now, Li Changhe was no different from usual, riding the same old bike. With the same backpack on his back. With no injuries nor changes, no one should be able to detect him.

The [Blood-stained lead ball] and [High-Efficiency Healing Liquid] were both in the [Player Backpack], along with some clothes and some equipment that might be needed. Allegedly, when the task is triggered, the [Player] doesn't have much time to prepare. He needed some clothes to hide his identity, otherwise, Li Changhe would be recognized as soon as he entered.

With that thought in his mind, Li Changhe slightly relaxed. All he had to do was walk over and accept the inspection quietly.

As expected, after registering his name and the time he left the bridge last night, they let him go. But it shouldn't be that simple on the surface.

They used the cameras on the bridge and some more covert devices for the investigation.

Li Changhe only breathed a sigh of relief after he had ridden far from the bridge.

"Cold Reading Skill, huh?" he muttered. If it weren't for learning this skill during his part-time job, he estimated he would have given himself away.

After making sure no one was following him, Li Changhe finally arrived at the school.

There were many students along the way, but not many who greeted.

It was a normal situation.

Yanyun High School's tuition wasn't cheap. Most of the students who studied there came from well-off families.

Students like Li Changhe and He Feng, who had special talents and were admitted through recommendations, were ultimately in the minority.

So, there were always gaps...

Li Changhe was unfazed as he parked his bicycle at Yanyun Middle School's bicycle parking area.

Since most students were picked up by private drivers, there weren't many bicycles parked in Yanyun Middle School's bicycle parking area. This had also become a place where Li Changhe and others often met.

When Li Changhe arrived, there were already quite a few people chatting there.

After all, similar people would warm each other. Li Changhe was no exception, and it wasn't an exaggeration to call him and others like him the elite of Yanyun Middle School.

Those who could enter this high school through their talents alone would not be mediocre people.

Among the top ten in every exam, there were always a few special admissions students. At every city sports meeting, most of the winners were people like Li Changhe.

Though they were poor, they made up for it with their talents. Li Changhe felt this deeply.

"Li Changhe?" A classmate saw Li Changhe and smiled, "What's your class's activity for today? Can you reveal it?"

Activity? That's right, today was Yanyun Middle School's school celebration. Each grade had to prepare activities.

"It seems to be selling food, but I don't remember what kind. I just need to do it and it's done." Li Changhe smiled lightly, "The computer accessories are all ready. Come and patronize us."

The rest of the people weren't surprised, as many classes had chosen activities like this. As for Li Changhe being the one doing it, that was normal too.

These special admissions students weren't exempt from all fees, and many of them worked part-time jobs in various places in Yanyun when their families were not well-off.

For example, Li Changhe, if it weren't for the recent unrest in Yanyun, would still have to work every night.

These life skills were still available to him.

"I heard that the activity of Class 1 of Senior Three is not bad. They even applied to the school for the old school area to set up a haunted house. Only the rich know how to have fun." A classmate laughed and suggested that they could go and see it after the event.

After chatting and laughing for a while, everyone went their own way. It was time for class.

Li Changhe's expression changed for a moment. When the three words "old school area" were spoken, a prompt of [Task Trigger Clue] appeared in his mind.

"So, if I approach the old school area, the task will be successfully triggered?" Li Changhe muttered, "Maybe not just me, but all the nearby [Players] have received this kind of hint. Should I go?"

The old school area was a building deep within the Yanyun High School campus. It was once a teaching building for Yanyun students decades ago, until it was expanded and abandoned.

It was originally planned to be converted into student dormitories, but a secret incident occurred during the construction period.

It was eventually dropped.

Some curious students had ventured there before and reportedly found it in terrible decay. There were many strange and eerie stories about the place.

Unexpectedly, it was related to the task.

Li Changhe was still hesitating when he saw that the entrance to his class was crowded with people. Many of his classmates were blocked outside.

A handsome young man leaned against the wall, striking what he thought was a cool pose, chuckling at the students around him.

"Damn, who is this guy? He's even more pretentious than He Feng." Li Changhe couldn't help sighing.

A classmate next to him looked at him and said, "He's from Senior Three Class 1, Ye Ming. He seems to be here to invite our class president."

"I heard he's inviting the class president to join their activities. Li, are you going to save our class president?" Another student chimed in.

It was hard not to feel how carefree the rich were. Just yesterday, he himself was fighting for his life, and now this young master was flirting. Seeing Xiao Nan talking to Ye Ming, many students from Class 7 revealed envious and jealous expressions.

"I guess they're just jealous... after all, it has nothing to do with me."

The next second, Li Changhe's expression changed again.

The task was triggered!
