Ah? This isn't a love game?

Chapter 234 Are You Awake?
Wen Nan's two current skills, [No Astringency] and [Persistence is the Key], were a set of combo skills that he unlocked after trying them out with Yu Shujun inside the sheath of the divine staff. They are quite powerful and can even break through the barrier built by the God of Creation himself.

However, this combo has a big problem - its casting conditions are too harsh.

Last time, inside the sheath of the divine staff, which was equivalent to a fully enclosed secret room, he and Yu Shujun did that kind of thing without anyone noticing. Apart from the two of them, no one else knew about it. It was a nearly perfect environment for casting spells.

However, if you encounter a similar situation in the future and need to use this combination of skills, there may not be such a perfect secret room. What should you do then?
It's impossible that when faced with a crisis, you would suddenly lie down on the ground and start having sex in front of everyone, right?

In this situation, an item that can help him temporarily store the stolen skills and use them at the critical moment becomes crucial.

It seems that this ball gag with an unconventional name and shape is the prop that Wen Nan needs most.

Of course, he would never use this kind of thing on himself.

According to the notes, if it is a replicated skill, both the subjects before and after the replica can be used as targets for wearing.

In other words, he can put this item on the opponent, then steal the opponent's skills, lock them, and store them for future use.

However, the effect of the skills stolen by his skill [Don't be astringent] will be discounted according to his own level and attribute value restrictions. So according to the system instructions, even if this item is worn on the other party, what Wen Nan will eventually lock onto is still the discounted skill he stole.

But combined with [Durability is King], first enhance the skill effect, and then lock it into the current item, it is simply perfect.

For Wen Nan, all he needs to do is to do the "preparatory work" thoroughly before future tasks, and everything will be fine.

Speaking of which, the [Root Breaking Slash] from last time was really useful, worthy of being the main skill of gold-rank players. Even if it was limited to only 10% of the output, it was still very powerful.

You can try to steal it again next time.

But since he has reached the gold rank, he must have more than one talent skill, and there should be many powerful ones, right? Maybe I can try to steal others...

Wen Nan was lost in thought, calculating loudly in his mind, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.

Halfway through, the corners of his lips froze again.

No, stop!
What is he doing?
Why did he fantasize about himself and Yu Shujun having a second, third, or even multiple times? !
They were the only two people trapped inside the sheath of the magic staff, and Yu Shujun's state was imprisoned by the magic staff, so he was forced to resort to this desperate measure...

Since this is the "last resort", there is no such situation of being "forced" anymore, what the hell is he still thinking about?
Even though the other party's body had been transformed by [Eve of All Changes] and had become a female, she was not a real female after all.

There's no way they'll do that kind of thing a second time, even if you kill them!
Pooh!
Wen Nan cleared all those "wrong" and "inexplicable" thoughts from his head, and stuffed the prop ball into the equipment reserve column with his backhand.

The props drawn are indeed good props, but as for how to use them in the future, that remains to be discussed.

Right now, he has other tasks to complete first.

Wen Nan turned over and got out of bed, taking a look at the countdown that appeared before his eyes——

[Time remaining until the next instance opens: 01:36:52——]

Perhaps because the next map is still intermediate, the rest time between the two copies is very short this time. After the draw, there is only about an hour and a half left.

It would definitely be too late to go for the membership interview at this time, and Wen Nan didn't want to do this kind of thing himself.

Gu Jinxing and the others haven't come out of the previous copy yet, so Wen Nan probably won't run into them before he enters the next copy.

Clicking into the player community interface, on the page of the [Wen Na] guild, he found the contact information of Gu Jinxing and Huang Yan. Wen Nan sent a group email, assigning them tasks as the guild president, requiring them to complete the first round of interviews for all players who had submitted applications for membership as soon as possible during the break between dungeons, and to initially screen out a group of candidates for Wen Nan to conduct a second round of interviews.

As he walked out, he issued tasks. By the time all the tasks were issued, Wen Nan had already left the guild office.

After saying hello to Liang Yiming, Han Feng, and Dr. Lu who was sitting on the curb, Wen Nan walked straight into the game hall, to a familiar black cube building - to the public center.

The narrow door that could only accommodate one person was still closed. Wen Nan pushed the door open and walked in. He soon saw the NPC in a suit and tie with a slicked-back hair standing behind the counter.

The NPC asked in a tone without any fluctuations: "Mr. Ye, what do you need?"

Wen Nan nodded his chin at the row of display windows behind the other party and said, "We need to buy a private area."

The receptionist turned around quickly, and after a moment, came out with a row of samples, which he placed in front of Wen Nan one by one.

Square boxes the size of microwave ovens are placed side by side, and each box displays the situation of the sales area in detail in the form of a holographic projection.

At the bottom of each box, the price is written in golden letters.

5888万金币、1888万金币、688万金币、188万金币、88万金币。

The inventory in the public centers of the primary game hall and the intermediate game hall is shared.

Wen Nan was already very familiar with the row of samples in front of him. There was one at the very edge that cost 68 gold coins, which he bought.

I didn’t expect that after such a long time, the public center here hasn’t sold even one private property?
The new players this time are no good. They have no dreams and they all just want to squeeze into the big guilds. Is there not even one who tries to start his own business?

Wen Nan shook his head.

Seeing this, the NPC thought that he was not satisfied with the product in front of him, and immediately said, "If you don't like it, we have hidden models."

Wen Nan was stunned.

Hmm? There are hidden versions?
Just as I was thinking about it, the NPC clerk turned around and went inside to get new samples.

Unlike the sullen-looking NPC clerks in the game lobby of the previous trial/primary map, the clerks here, although not as enthusiastic as those in the player-owned shops, were obviously much better towards Wen Nan than other NPC clerks.

This was most likely because the other party knew Wen Nan - the last time Wen Nan came here, it was this clerk who helped him open the teleportation point to the guild office.

The row of "hidden models" that were brought back looked much more dilapidated than the model houses that were first displayed - some windows were missing, some walls had peeled off, and some had a big hole in the roof... On the boxes of these "defective products", there were scarlet letters saying "Great deal! Great price! Hurry up and you'll get it! Slow down and you'll miss it!"
再往下看，那一排标价——888万金币、688万金币、488万金币、388万金币、188万金币。

Wen Nan browsed around and finally raised his hand, pointing at the apartment that cost 388 million gold coins: "I want this one!"

"Well...are you sure?" The clerk looked at Wen Nan with an indescribable look.

The one Wen Nan chose was the most shabby one among this batch of "hidden models". It was hard to describe it as "shabby". Judging from the sample, there were only two rows of broken walls left in the house. Spending 388 million to buy such a house was equivalent to buying just a piece of bare land.

The area of the land is quite large, nearly 5888% larger than a mansion worth 20 million gold coins in a normal private sector.

However, just having a large piece of land is useless in the game hall.

"Mr. Ye, there is no construction team or decoration team in the game hall. You are not allowed to bring any furniture or mobile homes you purchased in the dungeon map here."

The clerk kindly reminded the player, implying that it would be difficult for the player to build a house by just buying a piece of land.

But the man on the other side was very persistent and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, as long as it's big enough, nothing else matters."

The clerk couldn't understand it and attributed it to the strange desire to win among human male players in terms of size and model.

Although he didn't understand, he had no reason to refuse as there was business to be done. Moreover, this was an old, dilapidated and large house that had been unsold for many years. The clerk enthusiastically completed the house purchase procedures for the customer and delivered the house at the speed of light.

Wen Nan was lucky. This newly purchased property was only separated from their guild's original "Bing Xixi"-style mini villa by a small alley.

In order to express gratitude to Wen Nan for purchasing the hidden set with "lofty vision and amazing courage", the clerk at the public center waved his hand, asked his superiors, and directly gave the [Wen Na] Guild for free, a small alley between the two sets that was only wide enough for a dog to pass through.

Wen Nan took the alley with a face full of shame, returned to the attic on the second floor, and shared the news of the repurchase of the house with Yu Shou Ling.

Yu Shou Ling looked out of the attic window and saw the shabby piece of land next door. He was so excited that he wanted to cry for joy, "Can you lend it to me to build a villa?"

"Build it! Build it as you like!" Wen Nan waved his hand and agreed to the other party's request.

Yu Shou Ling was so happy that he wanted to go forward and hug Wen Nan, but the countdown in Wen Nan's mind jumped to the last second at this moment.

Before his eyes fell into darkness, Wen Nan saw the little white rabbit at his feet kicking its legs and trying hard to jump into his arms. He raised his hands and hugged the rabbit, then his body began to spin at high speed and fell...

The moment when the feeling of weightlessness ends.

"Crack!"

Wen Nan trembled all over and almost fell off the stool.

There was a burst of laughter in my ears.

He entered the dungeon spawn point? What's that sound? Who's laughing? Other players arrived so quickly?
Wen Nan raised his head from his hands and looked around. His originally blurry vision gradually became clear.

This seems to be... a large classroom in a school?

The desks in the classroom are a bit old, and the wall paint is peeling in many places. Outside the window, the chirping of birds can be heard. The early morning sunlight shines in obliquely from outside, forming a clear Tyndall effect in the classroom.

Judging from the rising sun outside, it should be around eight in the morning here now.

Wen Nan was sitting in the corner of the last row. He was lying on the table, maintaining a standard sleeping position.

Now that he was sitting up, Wen Nan realized that the laughter came from the front row.

The two girls sitting diagonally in front of him were startled by the sound of him waking up suddenly. They turned their heads to look at him, and seeing his sleeping face with one hair standing up, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.

Wen Nan looked back at them, and they immediately looked away and lowered their heads to look at the textbooks in their hands.

...Girl? Female player? Male female player?

Is the ratio of boys to girls so high in this game?
Wen Nan squinted his eyes in confusion and looked around again - this was a tiered classroom that could accommodate about two hundred people.

There were more than twenty people sitting sparsely in the classroom, all dressed like students and a little rustic.

Are these all the players assigned to this map? There are so many people participating in this dungeon? Half of them are girls?
Just as he was thinking, Wen Nan's eyes unexpectedly met the person standing on the podium right in front of him.

She was a young woman wearing a white shirt and a knee-length skirt.

She had been staring at Wen Nan since he sat up and looked around.

At this moment, their eyes finally met, and the woman said coldly: "Student Ye, are you finally awake?"

The students present burst into laughter again.

Wen Nan looked confused.

"Quiet, stop laughing," the woman raised her hand and knocked on the blackboard, looking at Wen Nan, "Come up and complete this diagram of the tricarboxylic acid cycle."

Wen Nan:?
The woman frowned, "I'm talking about you, Ye Jiu, come up."

Wen Nan subconsciously wanted to get up, supporting himself on the table with both hands. Just as he was about to stand up, he felt a strange feeling between his legs.

He looked down in bewilderment, and saw that between his legs, where a white plush rabbit had been squatting, there was actually... a strange woman's head? !
