A new pop-up window appeared in front of everyone.

Ji Yi ignored them and began explaining his summoned creatures to everyone.

It was a little devil, about 1.5 meters tall, wielding a blood-stained axe.

"The dismemberment ghost is not a ghost story created from a specific person, but rather a manifestation of people's fear of dismemberment killers. It has no thoughts, cannot be disturbed, and does not even have a concept of quantity."

As Ji Yi spoke, she picked up the test paper with the chicken leg and handed it to the dismembered ghost.

"Although I can only summon one at a time, it's enough. The Dismembered Ghost can lock onto the headless ghost's location and hunt it down."

Simply put, it's a navigation dog.

"Gurgle."

The dismembering demon let out a beast-like growl, already eager to attack.

"Let's go."

Upon receiving the order, the dismembered ghost immediately headed out of the classroom, with Ji Yi following closely behind.

"Follow."

Ji Yi's tone was calm yet assertive.

The other three didn't say anything and followed.

In dungeon raids, it's rare to see lower-level players giving commands to higher-level players.

Not only did Ji Yi do it, but the other players actually listened to her without question.

This was something Zhuge Dengpao had never seen before.

He had to admit that Ji Yi had made a significant contribution to the progress of the game.

Even if they harbored resentment towards Ji Yi, they had no choice but to obey Ji Yi's orders now.

I don't understand.

How could a seasoned, strategic player like him be outdone by a naive and boring newcomer?

"A fight is probably inevitable later. Who among you still has the strength to fight?"

Ji Yi asked.

The control panel is locked, but many skills and equipment are still available.

Unfortunately, ordinary people's stats make it difficult to unleash the full combat potential of their skills.

With time running out, the four of them traveled while getting to know each other's strengths.

Tang Hulu's profession is [Swordsman].

The available skills are: [Please Turn Around, Baby], [Moon Gazing Step], and [New Year's Greeting Sword Technique].

It possesses offensive, defensive, and control capabilities.

"If I had spiritual power, I could actually use more skills."

Zhuge Dengpao raised an eyebrow: "Are you a combat-oriented player?"

Tang Hulu scratched his head sheepishly:
"Yes, so this dungeon is a bit difficult for me and I can't help much."

Ji Yi: "It's okay, I'll let you be at the forefront when we're slaying ghosts later."

Tang Hulu: "Huh?"

Zhuge Dengpao's profession is [Talisman Master].

The only skills available are [Quick Thinking] and [Dodge Instinct].

Talisman-based skills require spiritual energy to activate, therefore, they have very little effect in combat.

Miss Cat is a [spiritual medium].

She was even worse off, with all her skills going to waste.

"Looks like I'll have to be the main force again."

Ji Yi showed everyone the remaining set of temporary skill cards.

[Summoning Spell - Dismemberment], one more use is available.

[Summoning Spell - Invisible Hand], only one use left.

[Summoning Spell - Drowned Ghost], two uses.

"This dungeon emphasizes strategy and puzzle-solving. Do we really have to brute force our way through with our small team?"

Tang Hulu raised a question.

"So, did you solve anything? You even got two elementary school math problems wrong."

Ji Yi countered with a question.

Tang Hulu was choked and speechless.

He's just an idiot, can't we be a little more tolerant of him?
“If it were purely a matter of using brains to solve the problem, this instance wouldn’t just be locking our attribute panels,” Ji Yi said.

"Moreover, we don't have enough time to slowly unravel the mystery now. The headless ghost's cognitive interference is invisible and intangible. If we continue to drag it out, it will become increasingly disadvantageous to us."

Miss Cat nodded in agreement.

The others had no objections, and the four of them exchanged information about items and equipment and discussed strategies for dealing with the enemy.

now.

Tang Hulu held a two-handed longsword, Miss Cat held a dagger, Zhuge Dengpao carried a crowbar, and Ji Yi was carrying a borrowed lightweight chainsaw.

"This chainsaw is no good; it gets stuck when it cuts into bone."

Miss Cat introduced it casually.

Ji Yi: "What have you used it to saw?"

Miss Cat: "A large animal that is 170 cm long and weighs 56 kg."

".?"

"It took two hours to clean it up, and in the end..."

"Okay, can you stop talking now?"

Miss Cat tilted her head, puzzled.

She felt that her performance in the "fake apartment" instance was quite outstanding.

He killed and dismembered the imposters who were impersonating him, then impersonated the imposters himself, infiltrated their gathering, and slaughtered them all in one fell swoop.

That was her first time receiving an S-level overall rating.

Although S-level ratings became commonplace afterward, the first one was definitely the most memorable.

The group followed the dismembered demon.

I walked through the teaching building and headed straight for the school staff's office area.

Zhuge Light Bulb and Miss Cat are positioned on the left and right, respectively. They are armed with one hand, and use their other hand to illuminate the left and right sides with a flashlight.

Tang Hulu brought up the rear of the procession, with Ji Yi following closely behind the Corpse-Dismembering Demon.

Walked a while.

The three people arrived at a building.

"Neither of us is very strong, Ji Yi, can you hold on for a while?"

"Zhuge Dengpao asked."

Miss Cat seemed to be deep in thought.

"At worst, I'll just use up all the skill card uses. When we get out of the dungeon, you two can compensate me with something."

“Mr. Ji Yi, that’s not how it’s calculated. The more your team contributes, the greater the reward will be.”

Miss Cat explained.

"Mr. Light Bulb is just asking: Are you sure you can do it?"

Zhuge Light Bulb: "."

"Ha! What a joke! I'm the hardest man on Earth!"

"Stubborn? Then your girlfriend must be suffering, having to chew on rocks every day."

Zhuge frowned as he listened to their conversation.

They're still flirting at a time like this; they have absolutely no manners when it comes to gaming.

Miss Cat added, "If you really can't handle it later, I can use the Restriction Release Charm."

As long as she uses the unlocking charm, she has the ability to fight against the dungeon boss.

Ji Yi shook her head, feeling it was inappropriate.

"It's just a brainless ghost, a piece of junk with 0 attack and 2 health. There's no need for it. It's not powerful on its own, but we don't know if there are other ghosts guarding the vicinity. Unless absolutely necessary, we should keep it."

Miss Cat nodded: "Mm."

The two followed the dismembered ghost upstairs.

Da da da.

Da da da.

Two people and a ghost; three footsteps echoed through the stairwell.

The building was dark inside, with only Miss Cat's flashlight illuminating the path ahead.

Climb the steps one by one.

When Ji Yi reached the fifth floor, he realized something was wrong.

This building,
Is there a fifth floor?

The hallway was so dark that only moonlight shone through the windows, allowing Ji Yi to see a little.

"I should have searched for a flashlight first. It's so inconvenient being in complete darkness."

Fortunately, we arrived at our destination.

The dismemberment demon stopped on the fifth floor and headed straight for an office.

Ji Yi, carrying a chainsaw, followed closely behind.
