My sister is missing, and I can't contact my adoptive father either.

Zhao Ziqi pinched the bridge of his nose.

The only option is to go to Lü Mingming. He is an extraordinary being and must know about the extraordinary awakening trial.

.

Garden Community, Building 7, Unit 1, 11th floor, east-facing unit.

"Zilong, come in quickly."

This was Zhao Ziqi's first visit to Lü Mingming's home.

The apartment layout is the same as my own, and the decoration is an artistic, natural wood style. An old-fashioned record player is placed in the living room to decorate the atmosphere.

I remember when I was in school, Lü Mingming lived in Binjiang Yipin, a high-end residential area in Haibin City. Not long ago, the two of us were chatting and Lü Mingming brought up this matter.

According to him, he moved to the Garden Community six months ago to escape his family of origin.

"Here, catch."

Lu Mingming, shuffling in her slippers, tossed a bottle of cola over and said, "Zilong, sit for a bit, we should go eat soon, it's getting dark."

"No rush."

Zhao Ziqi opened the can, and the cola bubbles gushed out—it was really fizzy!

The two were old classmates and good friends for many years, and according to Lü Mingming's information, they were classmates and close friends.

Given my current situation, there's really no need for me to beat around the bush.

"Brother, something strange has happened to me."

"Hmm?" Lu Mingming's eyebrows twitched, and she sat down on the brown sofa, clasping her hands together as she asked, "How so? Be more specific."

"Do you believe in the existence of supernatural beings in this world?" Zhao Ziqi asked, staring directly at Lü Mingming.

Lu Mingming remained expressionless, then a smile crept across his face as he thought to himself, "He truly is my good brother! He came to me first when something like this happened."

I'm very familiar with the extraordinary awakening trial; I can handle it with ease.

"You've come to the right person. No one understands the Extraordinary Awakening Trial better than me!"

As expected! Lü Mingming knew!

Zhao Ziqi was in a good mood, because this would definitely reduce the death rate of those who awaken in the Extraordinary Trial.

With a bit more luck, you might even be able to complete the game without taking any damage.

With a smug and confident air, Lü Mingming slowly opened a can of sugar-free Fanta.

"Zilong, is the countdown 1 hour or 6 hours?" he said, taking a slow sip of Fanta.

Zhao Ziqi found it strange that it was 1 hour or 6 hours, but he still told the truth.

"24 hours."

"puff!!"

"Holy crap...!" Lu Mingming jumped onto the sofa like a monkey, ignoring the Fanta sprayed on the coffee table.

With a hand pressing down on Zhao Ziqi's shoulder, he said sternly, "Say it again, what's the countdown?"

"24 hours, is there a problem?"

"This is a huge problem! Oh my god! The longer the preparation time for the Extraordinary Awakening Trial, the higher the difficulty. Generally, the maximum preparation time is 12 hours."

"You're preparing for 24 hours? That's... holy crap!"

Zhao Ziqi felt numb after hearing this.

As a supporting NPC, you won't be done until you've ruined yourself, right?

The Extraordinary Awakening Trial is still the most difficult and has the highest mortality rate.

"Don't panic, the higher the difficulty of the trial, the greater the chance of awakening a powerful class!" Lu Mingming comforted Zhao Ziqi, then asked, "What's the name of your trial instance?"

"Dark Forest".

"What?!"

Lu Mingming screamed again at the top of her lungs, nearly giving Zhao Ziqi a heart attack.

"What is it now?" Zhao Ziqi clutched his chest. Talking to him was too frightening; he was so easily startled.

It seems that this dark forest is more difficult than expected.

Zhao Ziqi did not think he would be unable to pass the trial of the 'Dark Forest'.

Yes, it is extremely difficult.

But he was also different from the other trial participants.

Firstly, his attributes of strength and spirit have been raised to 12 points, and his power, perception, speed, etc. are far superior to those of ordinary people.

Secondly, the abilities "life-giving" and "trajectory" are not possessed by other first-time trial participants.

If you proceed with caution, there is a possibility of passing the Dark Forest Trial.

Lu Mingming frowned.

This is a huge problem. So far, he hasn't heard of anyone coming out alive from the "Dark Forest" trial.

Not a single one! Entering the Dark Forest is like stepping into the gates of hell with only half a shoe heel outside.

Lu Mingming plopped down on the sofa, his brows furrowed, and said, "It seems we have no choice but to go to him."

"Who?"

"A reclusive master, someone with extensive knowledge and experience who doesn't interact with the supernatural world, would be quite difficult to find."

"Do you think you can find him? After all, he's a reclusive master."

"It's indeed hard to find, but... money makes everything possible!"

Lu Mingming smiled smugly.

He then opened the Qidian app, accessed a niche novel called "The Immortal Sword and Shield Starting from the Academy," and clicked to reward the author with "Golden Alliance Master"!

Zhao Ziqi didn't read many novels, but he knew that a Gold Alliance Master on Qidian was equivalent to 10 Chinese Yuan, which was the same as all his savings from two years of work.

This is Zhao Ziqi trying to find a master for himself, and he won't actually let Lü Mingming pay for it.

I'll transfer the money to him later; I still have 10 Huaxia coins in my Yu'ebao account.

Several tens of seconds later.

Buzz! The cell phone rang.

Lu Mingming made a shushing gesture, and after Zhao Ziqi nodded, she answered the phone.

"Ha ha!"

"It's nothing, I just read the latest chapter and it was so touching that it made me cry."

"What? The last two chapters are both leave requests... cough cough, well, I haven't seen the latest chapter yet. It's an emergency, come quick! If you're any later, my brother's going to be in big trouble, bro!"

"Okay, we'll be waiting for you at Garden Community!"

The phone hangs up.

Ten minutes later.

dong dong!

A knock came at the door.

Zhang Ming, the author of "The Immortal Blade and Shield Starting from the Academy," has arrived.

Zhang Ming is 175cm tall, with messy black hair. He's rather thin but wears baggy jeans, a short-sleeved t-shirt, and slippers. He has a lollipop in his mouth and looks like a street urchin. If you look closely, his features are strong and handsome, with a high nose bridge; he's a classic good-looking guy.

As an author, Zhang Ming has been experiencing writer's block and frustration lately. He's been staying up late playing games every night, resulting in stubble, dark circles under his eyes, and a generally颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, or颓废) appearance.

Zhang Ming, wearing slippers, plopped down on the sofa, his loose pants draped over the sofa, revealing four thumb-thick scroll ornaments pinned to his waist.

Zhao Ziqi noticed that these scroll ornaments were simple in appearance, and one of them was even broken and missing a corner.

He tossed a strand of his flowing hair and said, "What is it? Speak."

Lu Mingming rubbed his hands together and chuckled.

"My brother, Zhao Ziqi, is asking for your help with the Extraordinary Awakening Trial. He needs your advice and strategies."

"It's nothing, which secret realm trial?"

"Well... haha, this is a bit difficult."

"Speak, with me taking action, everything will be easily taken care of!" At the end, Zhang Mingliang pointed a finger and forcefully flicked it towards Lü Mingming.

Lu Mingming and Zhao Ziqi exchanged glances, it seemed there was hope.

"Dark Forest! Is it safe?"

"Dark forest...sigh...!" Zhang Ming leaned forward, staring wide-eyed at Zhao Ziqi, and said, "You look so lucky, how could you be so unlucky!"

"Well... I'm not quite sure either." Zhao Ziqi smiled wryly. His bad luck wasn't just in the Dark Forest, but also in Gan Yu, the assassin on the 21st.

Come to think of it, I've really had some bad luck!

Zhang Ming bit his thumbnail, his brows furrowed; he had really given himself a difficult problem.

What should we do? If we help, we'll have to use our most valuable items. But what if this kid dies in the dungeon... then we'll lose both our resources and our life.

Seeing Zhang Ming's predicament, Zhao Ziqi patted Lü Mingming on the shoulder and said, "This trial is too difficult. Let's not make things difficult for Brother Zhang."

Let's leave it at that. Mingming and I will think of another way. The Golden Alliance is my way of supporting your work, Brother Zhang; don't worry about it.

Lu Mingming's eyes were squeezed shut, and she had a bitter expression on her face. There was really nothing she could do.

"Alright then! Let's think of other ways; there's always a solution!"

"Wait a minute, let me tell you I'm in a difficult position!"

Zhang Ming made up his mind and said.

"Young Brother Zhao Ziqi, you have a heart of gold. I'm determined to help you with this!"

The Dark Forest, I know a bit about this secret realm; its actual success rate is 95%! Currently, 20 people are known to have entered, and only one person from fifty years ago has come out alive.

"Once you enter the Dark Forest, you will encounter an astonishing number of monsters. Once discovered, it is difficult to escape, and you will eventually die in the monsters' attack."

But! With my Jack's Compass here, you have a more than 50% chance of survival!

After saying that, Zhang Ming took out a Victorian-style compass from his wide pocket. Lu Mingming, who was next to him, had a bright smile on his face. This was great. He had found the right person.

Zhang Ming handed over the compass and said, "Here you go, kid." Zhao Ziqi curiously took the compass, and their fingers briefly touched!

[Hint: The target has been fully explored, perceived, and understood. This target has been added to the "Character Book." Do you wish to view the information and acquire the corresponding character's traits and abilities? Yes/No]

Zhao Ziqi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was overjoyed. When Zhang Ming arrived, the exploration map displayed new points of light.

It's just that I haven't explored enough yet, so it hasn't been included in the character book.

The moment it was touched, Zhang Liang's information was finally added to the character book.

"Check it out." Zhao Ziqi was very curious about Zhang Ming's true identity and some other information.
