The starting point is auspicious; the fiancée will not call off the engagement.

"Brother Fang, what are you doing here?"

Cheng Wenyuan was walking towards the school when he saw Fang Zhou wandering the streets and asked him curiously.

"what?"

Fang Zhou suddenly panicked, as if he had been caught skipping class by his tutor, but he quickly calmed down.

"I just had nothing to do, so I wandered around aimlessly."

Cheng Wenyuan found Fang Zhou's somewhat guilty look amusing and took two steps closer to him.

"Brother Fang, since you have nothing to do, would you like to join the games organized by our school and Cheng'an Management Office?"

"Games? What games?"

Fang Zhou was somewhat puzzled; he really didn't know what games existed in this world.

Cheng Wenyuan smiled at Fang Zhou and walked towards the school, lecturing as he went.

"Brother Fang, to put it bluntly, this game is just like children playing house, except the setting is the entire Cheng'an City."

Fang Zhou was also intrigued and followed Cheng Wenyuan.

Tell me more.

Cheng Wenyuan didn't mince words and directly explained to Fang Zhou.

"This game is mainly for the students in the academy who have some talent. Although the academy teaches them how to use their talents."

However, the teachers' teachings were still too difficult for these children to understand, and constantly lecturing them with grand principles would only make them more rebellious.

Therefore, the school requested the Cheng'an Management Office to lend them space for teaching practice. Upon hearing this, the Cheng'an Management Office thought it was a good thing and not only agreed but also offered to lend personnel to assist in the teaching.

After discussion, both parties decided to conduct an educational and entertaining game-based teaching session at a specific time. The games were mainly divided into two types.

One approach involves students taking on the role of managers at the Cheng'an Administration Office, participating in the management of Cheng'an City's affairs.

Another option is to play as a member of the Cheng'an law enforcement team and handle a simulated case. How about it, want to participate?

Fang Zhou listened to Cheng Wenyuan's explanation and found it much more interesting than the trivial matters outside the city, so he asked further questions.

"Since it's a game, it has to be challenging, right? There has to be a villain to make the game educational."

Cheng Wenyuan looked at Fang Zhou approvingly, "Indeed, so we will divide the students into two teams, one for law enforcement and the other for criminals, with the two teams hindering each other."

Fang Zhou nodded thoughtfully, and at that moment Cheng Wenyuan led Fang Zhou to the school.

As soon as Fang Zhou entered the school, he bumped into the martial arts instructor who had just finished class.

Fang Zhou smiled awkwardly and nodded to the martial arts instructor.

The martial arts instructor nodded in response to Fang Zhou. He was a little confused as he left the school. Didn't Fang Zhou have something to do? He left before the class was even over, so why is he back now?

There is no concept of skipping classes here. Most of the students are orphans, and they don't have much time to get together. For various reasons, the students usually study very hard to improve themselves, and only during the short school hours can they relax and interact and play with other peers.

So unless there was some special reason, the students would attend class seriously. The martial arts instructor subconsciously assumed that Fang Zhou had something important to do, never expecting that Fang Zhou was simply skipping class.

At this moment, the students were all gathered in the training ground, chattering excitedly, clearly looking forward to what was about to happen.

Cheng Wenyuan skillfully navigated through the crowd, walked to the high platform in front of the training ground, and clapped his hands.

The crisp applause gradually quieted the chatter, and dozens of eyes turned to look at him.

"Everyone, today is the day of teaching practice, as I'm sure you've all heard."

Cheng Wenyuan's gaze swept over the expectant faces below the stage, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"This game is not much different from the previous ones. You can now freely choose between the two types I told you about. If you want to participate in handling the affairs of Cheng'an City, stand on the right. If you want to handle cases, stand on the left."

As soon as Cheng Wenyuan finished speaking, the training ground fell silent for a moment, then erupted into chaos.

"I want to be in the law enforcement team!"

"What's the point of handling official business? I need to investigate a case!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Instructor Cheng said it's a free choice."

The students chattered excitedly, but their feet had already begun to move.

The flow of people seemed to be drawn by two invisible vortexes, slowly splitting to the left and right.

Fang Zhou leaned against the old locust tree, watching the group of teenagers. Some strode forward without hesitation, while others hesitated and looked around. A few close friends were tugging at each other's sleeves and arguing quietly because they had chosen different teams.

Cheng Wenyuan didn't urge them. Standing on the high platform, he looked at the students with his hands behind his back, feeling a special kind of satisfaction with their energetic spirit.

Most of these children had suffered greatly before arriving in Cheng'an, but fortunately they were rescued and brought to Cheng'an City, which ensured that their lives would not be difficult from then on.

Fang Zhou stood at the back of the line without moving. If he were to participate, he would most likely have to be the team leader, so he felt that it would be more interesting to observe and give pointers to the students' actions from the sidelines instead of participating.

Fang Zhou scanned the crowd.

The people standing on the right were mostly older students. They stood straight, trying their best to appear calm, but their clenched fists and slightly trembling toes betrayed their inner anticipation.

The left side was much more lively. Students eager to solve cases huddled together, excitedly discussing what kind of cases they might encounter. A few impatient ones had already begun debating methods for solving the cases.

There was a slight difference in the number of people on both sides, with the left side having significantly more students than the right. This is the essence of youthful ambition; who wouldn't want to be a peerless hero when they were young?

Cheng Wenyuan stood on the high platform and glanced at the number of people on both sides, not surprised at all.

"Alright, now that you've made your choices, let me repeat the rules again."

He cleared his throat and spoke to the student on his right.

"The first group on the right, meet at the Cheng'an Management Office tomorrow. Someone will assign you tasks there. Also, a few of you will be assigned special identities to play the role of corrupt officials and steal resources from the city. Your rewards will be related to the stolen resources. Enjoy the game!"

After he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up. After a while, he spoke to the student on his left.

"The second group on the left, meet at the training ground tomorrow. Someone will come to give you your mission. There will also be a traitor among you. This game is not that simple. Be careful and don't end the game too quickly."

After Cheng Wenyuan finished speaking with a stern face, he waved his hand and dismissed them.

Looking at Cheng Wenyuan, Fang Zhou felt that tomorrow might be very interesting. As the students dispersed and left, Fang Zhou spotted Luo Chuan in the left-hand line.

At this moment, Luo Chuan was not so indifferent. He was talking to the students next to him in a low voice. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and turned to look at Fang Zhou.

Fang Zhou didn't try to hide it, so he waved and greeted him.

Luo Chuan paused for a moment, nodded in response, and was then pulled away by the person next to him.

At this moment, Cheng Wenyuan walked over, his smile impossible to hide.

"How about it, Brother Fang? Do you want to join in and let those kids see the dangers of the world?"

"Sure, I'm quite interested," Fang Zhou nodded in response. "By the way, I'd like to play that mock case game."

"No problem, let's grab some food first, then we'll go to the conference room for a meeting this afternoon."

Cheng Wenyuan readily agreed, patted Fang Zhou on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

Fang Zhou looked at Cheng Wenyuan thoughtfully, wondering if this guy had also plotted against him.

Never mind, I'll find out this afternoon. I'm going to eat first.
