"What do you want me to try?" Lin Feng asked calmly and indifferently.

"Madam," the Sloth Hat said in a humble voice, "I think that for Lady Sloth Hat to operate such a massive game, she must sever all ties with the outside world. If someone were to enter now and obstruct her from obtaining the 'treasure,' I wonder if Lady Sloth Hat would intervene?"

It means instigating Yuchi Ting to sabotage the Lazy Hat's plan and get the Lazy Hat to deal with Yuchi Ting.

The idea is good, but it's too risky for Lin Feng. Putting aside whether the Lazy Hat will make a move, even if it does, it's hard to say whether the Lazy Hat can deal with Yu Chi Ting or break the life-and-death contract.

If the life-and-death pact cannot be broken, then Lin Feng will have lost everything.

Lin Feng calmly lowered her eyes: "I need to see your sincerity."

The timid hat bowed its head: "I will do my best to offer this to the lady."

To Lin Feng's surprise, the cowardly man suddenly raised his hand and reached out.

Lin Feng stared at her every move in bewilderment, and saw the timid hat's hand reach to her wrist and gently stroke her skin.

Lin Fenghua's heart skipped a beat, and her brows relaxed.

She felt as if the shackles binding her had been removed.

Lin Feng looked up in surprise: "You actually have such an ability?"

The man in the cowardly hat still didn't raise his head: "Madam, I think there's no 'marriage' in the world that can't be dissolved."

Lin Feng, who had been feeling irritable for many days, felt much better, but she quickly realized something: "Now that the divorce is over, my husband must have sensed it, right?"

"Don't worry," the Cowardly Hat said, opening his palm and offering Lin Feng a gift—a magic potion. "This is a treasure I brought to this gathering. It can temporarily block your husband's senses. As long as you get rid of him within the allotted time, I think you can gain perfect freedom."

Next, all Lin Feng needs to do is lure Yu Chi Ting into the Lazy Hat's net.

Lin Feng smiled, a rare occurrence for her: "Good, you did a good job."

Having an advisor to devise strategies is truly wonderful. So, has Yuchi Ting been enjoying this kind of life all these years? It's truly something to be resentful about.

The man in the timid hat bowed and said, "Thank you for your kind words, ma'am."

Lin Feng glanced at her indifferently.

This person's purpose is not hard to guess: if he surrenders to me and helps me get rid of Yu Chi Ting, then he can enjoy more power and resources with me.

If she is loyal, she would indeed be a very helpful assistant. Lin Feng would test her loyalty first.

"The gathering has been going on for quite a while now," Lin Feng said, standing up. She had only just arrived. "I'm feeling a bit tired, so I'll take my leave now."

The timid man, with his head bowed, watched Lin Feng leave the venue.

Shouldn't she go home and test whether the potion she gave her works?

The woman in the timid hat turned silently, walking without making a sound, bypassing the crowd at the party, and making her way to the balcony.

She whispered to the empty balcony, "Lord Zhui Xiao, I have already spoken to Leng Mo Mao as you requested."

A soft voice came from the deserted balcony: "Hmm."

Upon hearing this sound, the man in the cowardly hat trembled slightly.

It's truly... terrifyingly powerful. Even though the person is right here, there's no sound at all. No matter what method or magic is used to hide themselves, there will always be a slight fluctuation of magical energy.

This lazy one, however, was completely silent, without a sound or ripple, as if she had merged into nature and become one with all things, and no one could detect her existence.

"Lord Xiao, you want Lin Feng to lure Yuchi Ting into the game world," the timid-hatted man asked softly, "so that you can deal with him in a game world that perfectly recreates the magic academy from back then?"

It's like a kind of ritual; wherever Zhui Xiao suffered back then, let Yu Chi Ting repay him there.

The cowardice label was somewhat understandable, but what she couldn't understand was: "Excuse my overstepping, but I don't understand, sir, why are you letting Leng Mo off the hook? Isn't she one of the main culprits too?"

In order to trick Lin Feng into entering the game, Lazy actually took the initiative to help Leng Mo break the life-and-death contract that bound her.

This is something the Cowardly Hat cannot understand, because if it were the Cowardly Hat, she would definitely kill both of them.

The question had been asked for a long time, but Laziness had yet to respond.

The timid man, unsure whether she had left or not, stood silently on the balcony.

After a long while, a lazy, sigh-like voice finally came: "You can go now, I'm going to play games."

Playing games? Does that mean entering that game world? The Lazy Hat is actually going to do it himself? That's incredibly diligent; we only see the Lazy Hat this diligent when it comes to matters concerning Lord Xiao Yu.

The Cowardly Hat chuckled softly: "It seems this game is quite interesting."

The Sloth Hat's voice seemed to carry a hint of amusement: "There is an interesting person."


The Sloth Hat replied, "The Curious Hat."

Curious Hat? Timid Hat paused, wondering when this new hat had come into existence. And what about the little hats she didn't know about?

The Cowardly Hat wanted to ask more questions, so it tentatively asked a few more, but there was no response. This time, the Sloth Hat really left.

-

They left the dilapidated dormitory building in the game together.

Mu Feng walked ahead, turned around and waved goodbye to her: "Then good luck to you guys, amazing He Kouli."

Li Wenyin stood motionless, staring strangely at Mu Feng.

She felt like she had heard those words countless times.

Li Wenyin turned to look at Qin Guanyu: "Guanyu, is this the first time we've heard this idiot say something like this?"

"Yes," Qin Guanyu replied, but then a hint of hesitation crossed his eyes. "It should be..."

Qin Guanyu also hesitated.

Li Wenyin solemnly withdrew her gaze.

"What?!" Mu Feng stormed back. "Who are you calling an idiot, Li Wenyin?!"

Li Wenyin ignored him and focused on her own thoughts.

Unlike Mu Feng, who is a complete idiot, she and Qin Guanyu are both highly sensitive and have a keen eye for detail. Qin Guanyu tends to scrutinize and observe carefully, and can easily discover and analyze the abnormal emotions of NPCs and the subtle changes in all things in the world.

Li Wenyin, on the other hand, tends to rely on her intuitive feelings. She considers herself to have a very sensitive sense of smell. This sense of smell is not just a sense of smell, but a magical and miraculous synesthetic expression. She can smell the scent of emotions and the scent of unusual things.

Now, through Qin Guanyu's hesitant and uncertain gaze, Li Wenyin realized that he, like herself, had noticed something was wrong.

That's great. This time I didn't realize something was wrong on my own. Qin Guanyu was with me.

"Alright, you can go now," Li Wenyin waved to Mu Feng, "Goodbye, don't bother seeing me off."

"Hey Li Wenyin, you bastard..." Mu Feng cursed as he walked away.

Li Wenyin immediately grabbed Qin Guanyu and pressed him for answers.

"You've noticed something's wrong too, haven't you?"

"Hmm, feeling a little...uncomfortable?"

"Me too! I smell something very unusual!" Li Wenyin exclaimed excitedly.

Qin Guanyu pondered carefully: "I have this feeling that I just said goodbye to Senior Nangong and remarked that although he has a cold personality, he is a very nice person. In the blink of an eye, I have reappeared here."

"Me too! Me too!" Li Wenyin excitedly discussed with him, "I feel like I've met so many people, Sister Junzhu, Little Evil, Big Ice Cube... I've heard the system sound of completing tasks several times, and I subconsciously know that there is a daily limit to the activity tasks, and my roommates are always accurately assigned to related tasks."

"Yes...that's great." Qin Guanyu breathed a sigh of relief.

He initially thought there was something wrong with him, and he started overthinking things, wondering if the internal conflict was because he wasn't in a good state lately.

But thankfully there was Li Wenyin.

Li Wenyin also discovered these things.

Qin Guanyu felt as if he had just woken up and found the world around him both familiar and strange. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He watched the strange things unfold in silence and helplessness, standing there at a loss for what to do.

At this moment, Li Wenyin, chattering excitedly, loudly shattered his helplessness, expressing her thoughts frankly and naturally with bright eyes.

"Luckily, I've encountered a lot of strange things, so let me make a bold guess," Li Wenyin brainstormed, "Are we being set up? Trapped in some kind of illusion? Did we accidentally trigger some forbidden artifact? Are all the people around us fake? Is it just you and me who are real?"

Qin Guanyu listened and smiled, "Wow, so many possibilities!"

Li Wenyin smiled and waved her hand: "No problem, no problem at all. I could list many more."

Li Wenyin was also happy.

This time, she encountered something strange: someone else was in the same boat as her, and she had someone to talk to. This was the happiest and safest situation she had ever faced in an unexpected situation.

"Based on my observations of them," Qin Guanyu said seriously, "Mu Feng and the others should not be fake."

Looking at the other players passing by, Qin Guanyu said, "These classmates shouldn't be fake either. I can call out most of their names, and they match my impression."

"Indeed," Li Wenyin also analyzed, "Mu Feng's silliness just now was so natural that if someone were to deliberately pretend, they couldn't fake that silliness."

Qin Guanyu smiled, taking it as a compliment to Mu Feng.

Li Wenyin suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "If we're completely clueless right now, could it be that we need to complete some main quest to break this deadlock?"

Qin Guanyu: "What are our main quests?"

"Then naturally we'll find a third person to team up with for the event," Li Wenyin paced back and forth, "but we can't do the missions too casually anymore, we won't ask our friends for help."

Qin Guanyu asked, "Then who should we contact?"

The voice just fell.

You have received a team invitation.

[A nearby player named "Don't Mind the Flower Garden's Affairs" would like to invite you to team up]

Li Wenyin and Qin Guanyu exchanged a glance.

Well, it just came to us of its own accord.
