My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

Leng Yihan looked at the rocky surface at the cave entrance and couldn't help but sigh. If there were a mage here, they could use their magic to blast open the cave entrance. Unfortunately, they didn't have a mage, nor could they use any magic skills...

Wait, did I forget something?

"Oh right... skill scrolls!" Leng Yihan clapped her hands, remembering this thing, and immediately opened her backpack to check if there were any mage skill scrolls.

Fortunately, Leng Yihan had a lot of rare items in her backpack, and she actually found a few skill scrolls with explosive effects. Leng Yihan took the level 50 mage skill Flame Dragon Pillar and cast it at the cave entrance.

The fiery dragon released by the Fiery Dragon Pillar pierced through the rock, melting a hole large enough for two people to pass through at the same time. It seems that the entrance to the hole was blocked by a huge rock.

Leng Yihan didn't hesitate. Her teammates' icons were directly visible in her field of vision. Lin Yin and Leng Binglan were on the opposite side of the cave, and then below.

"Roar!!!" Just as Leng Yihan was about to rush in, a huge dragon roar came, and Lin Yin's health in the team list dropped sharply. Seeing that things were not going well, Leng Yihan immediately refreshed her sword qi skill, Sword Intent, and abandoned Chen Wei and Mo Ruyu to rush inside.

Mo Ruyu was about to go in when Chen Wei stopped her. She turned to look at Chen Wei in confusion, but Chen Wei shook his head and said, "We'll stay here and hold off those students from Class 2 of Grade 1. If you can't hold them off, you go first, and I'll cover your retreat."

Mo Ruyu was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening. She nodded and followed Chen Wei to stay at the entrance of the cave to block the students from Class 2 of Grade 1.

Oh no! Oh no!

Leng Yihan sped through the passage burned by the Flame Dragon Pillar. He was still some distance away from Lin Yin and Leng Binglan. Lin Yin's health had dropped to a dangerous level. He quickly rushed into the depths of the cave with the help of his sword energy refreshed by Triple Slash.

Behind the rock is a huge cave that plunges vertically downwards, like an abyss. There is a small platform at the entrance of the cave, from which you can see the BOSS dragon and the two women fighting.

Lin Yin had almost no time to use potions. She focused all her energy on repeatedly leaping across the few remaining stone pillars, dodging the dragon's attacks while also being careful not to fall into the lava beneath her feet. Seeing this, Leng Yihan immediately found a good position and performed a Leap of Faith, drawing her katana and aiming it at the dragon.

[BOSS: Demon Dragon]

[Level: 75]

Current Health: 86%

[Attack Power: High]

[Defense: High]

[Special Attack Method: Breath Breath]

[Note: This is a good companion. Trapped in the lava by a dragon-binding chain, helping to free it might be a great help.]

As Leng Yihan fell from the sky, information about a demonic dragon appeared before his eyes. He glanced at it casually, then looked away and took out a skill scroll that he had prepared beforehand from his backpack.

[Skill Scroll: Levitation]

[Skill Effect: Grants the mage skill "levitation" for a short period of time.]

Leng Yihan timed her landing perfectly, and the instant she unleashed her sword strike, she used the skill scroll to launch herself into the air.

The dragon's health plummeted from 86% to a mere 34% in the blink of an eye.

"Roar!!!" The demonic dragon angrily turned its head to see who had caused it such high damage. Leng Yihan jumped onto the demonic dragon and, taking advantage of the fact that the demonic dragon could not hit him for a while, directly used the Phantom Invisible Sword to refresh the sword energy.

The dragon's health bar dropped again, now at a dangerous 10%. Its high defense stat was practically zero in front of Leng Yihan, since all its special effects were offensive, and it only needed to rely on its excessive luck to survive.

"Yihan!"

"You guys replenish your health first! I'll handle this little dragon!" Leng Binglan wanted to rush up to help, but stopped after hearing Leng Yihan's words and used several teleportation techniques to reach Lin Yin's hiding place.

The Demon Dragon is a BOSS-level monster, after all. If Leng Yihan could just easily defeat it without any danger, wouldn't that be pointless? Besides, this BOSS is clearly one that can be tamed and used as an ally. So, they'll have to go through a tough battle to tame the Demon Dragon and help them crush Class 2 of the first year of high school...

"Draw Sword Slash!" Leng Yihan raised her sword and brought it down. The sword energy refreshed the Draw Sword Slash, cutting away the last 10% of the demonic dragon's health in one strike. The demonic dragon's struggling body stopped moving and disappeared into a dazzling number.

Huh? Could this thing be tamed to be a helper? Did I do something stupid?

After killing the demonic dragon, Leng Yihan immediately flashed to a nearby rock where she could stand. She was a little confused as she watched the demonic dragon disappear, wondering if she had done something wrong.

Main quest completed: Received a buff.

"Leng Yihan!!! Why did you kill the BOSS?!"

"Uh... sorry..." Lin Yin noticed the main quest update, peeked out, and only saw the BOSS Demon Dragon that had just disappeared.

"Do you know that if we wanted to kill it, Leng Binglan and I could have done it too! We almost died because we wanted to make it our ally!"

As soon as Leng Yihan jumped to the hiding place where Lin Yin and the others were, Lin Yin angrily grabbed his collar and said something.

Leng Yihan looked at the angry Lin Yin with a complicated expression and said, "It's just a BOSS... We can beat Class 2 of Grade 1 without it, right? We still have a buff, don't we?"

As soon as Leng Yihan finished speaking, it seemed to add fuel to the fire, making Lin Yin even angrier: "Do you know that I'm not angry because I lost a thug! It's because all my hard work over the years has been for nothing!"

In the end, Leng Binglan came up and pulled Lin Yin back. Otherwise, Leng Yihan might have died to her own teammate in this round. After Lin Yin calmed down, the three of them realized a serious problem - how should they go up?

"Leng Yihan..."

"No, no, no! I was wrong, okay? I shouldn't have killed that dragon so it could have taken us up!" Without giving Lin Yin a chance to lash out, Leng Yihan immediately apologized. Hearing Leng Yihan's sincere apology, and considering that he was her boyfriend, Lin Yin pouted and temporarily let Leng Yihan off the hook.

Leng Yihan looked around to see if there was any way up, but it turned out he was overthinking it. Although he didn't find a way up, he did see a strange cave. At this point, the main quest had already ended, and it didn't seem like a quest storyline.

I glanced at the minimap. Although it marked the location of all players on the map, it didn't show the actual terrain. The background was just pitch black, and I couldn't see if there were any passages nearby.

After thinking for a moment, Leng Yihan decided to take a look at that strange cave. She said to Lin Yin beside her, "Wait here, I'll go check out that cave." As she spoke, she pointed to the two women to show them roughly where it was.

"I'll go too!" Before Leng Yihan could refuse, Leng Binglan had already stood up. He would follow Leng Yihan as soon as she set off. Lin Yin didn't say anything, but just stood up and looked for the way to the cave.

Leng Yihan was about to say something, but seeing the warning looks in the two women's eyes, she swallowed back what she was about to say and said, "Then... shall we go together?"

“That’s natural,” Lin Yin replied. The three of them roughly confirmed the situation, then jumped across using the protruding stones by the wall, with Leng Yihan leading the way to ensure safety.

Leng Yihan took a deep breath. Although falling down wouldn't kill her immediately, she was still inexplicably nervous. She had already determined which stones she needed to step on on the way to the cave. All that was left was to jump over them.

Taking a deep breath, Leng Yihan took a few steps back, using the sword intent still rushing forward. She jumped off the edge of what was considered a large stone platform, stepped onto the first stone, and then jumped several steps in a row. Finally, she used the Three-Segment Slash to her advantage and rushed directly into the cave.

Because the cave was carved out of the edge of a mountain cave, there was no place to stand outside. You had to jump straight in, so Leng Yihan jumped first to pull Lin Yin, who was next.

Lin Yin put away her bow and, like Leng Yihan, took several steps back to the back of the stone platform. Then, she took a running start and jumped off the edge, leaping several steps in one go, just like Leng Yihan. Finally, she jumped off the last stone, stretching her hand forward as far as possible so that Leng Yihan could grab her.

Leng Yihan immediately reached out and took Lin Yin's hand, pulling her into her arms. Leng Binglan pouted jealously and followed suit, jumping over like the two of them. However, she didn't need Leng Yihan to pull her over; she could use her Triple Slash to fly over the last stone on her own.

“Brother Yihan… here…” Leng Binglan jumped into the cave and looked inside. There was no light in the depths of the cave, it was pitch black, and you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. She didn’t know how deep it was. Leng Yihan thought for a moment and decided to go in and take a look: “Let’s go in and take a look first. I remember I have a light source in my backpack. I hope there’s something useful in the cave so that I won’t be too disappointed.”

【Item: Fairy Lantern】

[Type: Tool]

[Effect: Illuminates an area within a five-meter radius of the lantern]

[Note: This is one of the specialties of the Fairy Forest and can be purchased at the Fairy Forest shop.]

This was something Leng Yihan bought in the Elf Forest before. She bought it simply because it was pretty and for emergencies, but now it's in use. Carrying the lantern, Leng Yihan led the two of them slowly deeper into the cave.

43 About the School Festival (7)

Chen Wei paced back and forth in the bandits' den, waiting for the three who hadn't returned yet, grumbling, "Why aren't they back yet?"

"Let's wait a little longer," Mo Ruyu said. Just as she finished speaking, the system sent her a message notification.

Main quest completed: Received a buff.

At the same time the message popped up, the coordinates of Class 2, Grade 1 also appeared on their minimaps, but the specific terrain was still not visible. Only four dots marked the positions of the four people in Class 2, Grade 1, who were very close to them, probably standing in front of the cave entrance.

After seeing the coordinates, Chen Wei did not make a decision immediately, but first asked Mo Ruyu: "Now we have two choices, take advantage of the buff and fight them or retreat into the cave. If it is the latter, we have to hurry. If we don't fight in the cave, we won't be able to dodge if the monsters attack us."

After listening to Chen Wei's words, Mo Ruyu remained silent for a while. After assessing the fighting strength of both sides, she decisively decided to rejoin her teammates first. The matter of fighting Class 1-2 could wait; they had a buff advantage and wouldn't be afraid even if all five members of Class 1-2 gathered. (Because the substitute point was right in the bandit's lair.)

However, if it were just the two of them facing the five students from Class 2 of Grade 1, Mo Ruyu would most likely be taken down first. Chen Wei also unfortunately got killed after dragging things out for a long time. Ye Zixing, who had just revived, would also face the pursuit of the five students. They lost three people at once, which was a huge loss.

"Let's go!" Mo Ruyu wasn't as hesitant and indecisive in the game as she was in real life. After saying that, she turned around and walked into the cave, leaving Chen Wei to cover the rear. Only Chen Wei could withstand the burst damage from Yao Yao Ling, so he was the one to cover the rear.

"Sigh... I guess I'll have to do the hard work again. I should have switched with Ye Zixing earlier. You definitely wouldn't have let him cover the rear." Although Chen Wei said this, he still obediently walked behind. Victory was the most important thing. Personal reputation was another matter. That was Chen Wei's thought.

"What...what are you saying!" Mo Ruyu was stunned by Chen Wei's words, and a blush rose on her face. Seeing Mo Ruyu like this, Chen Wei suddenly realized something.

"Oh...you like Ye Zixing?"

"Don't say it out loud!" Mo Ruyu threw a skill at Chen Wei, but since it was a teammate, it didn't cause any damage. Seeing Mo Ruyu's excited reaction, a sly glint flashed in Chen Wei's eyes. It was only for a moment, but Mo Ruyu still saw it.

"What...what do you want to do!"

"Hey! Your lines will be misunderstood! I just wanted to help you." Chen Wei shrugged helplessly. He wasn't worried about others hearing the conversation. Spectators and live streamers couldn't hear anything, and what he said next would only be known to the two of them as long as no one was around.

After clearing his throat, Chen Wei said to Mo Ruyu, "You know what kind of person Ye Zixing is, right? He's clearly intelligent and has good emotional intelligence, but when it comes to himself, his emotional intelligence automatically drops to zero. It's quite strange. With your personality in real life, it'll be very difficult for you to be with him."

"...Then what should we do?" Although Mo Ruyu was reluctant to admit it, that was the truth. Without a helper, Ye Zixing, who had an off-the-charts emotional intelligence for others but a negative emotional intelligence for herself, might never have been able to be with him in this lifetime.

"I'll be your wingman!"

"...You?" Mo Ruyu clearly didn't trust Chen Wei. After all, they had known each other for almost a year. Although Chen Wei was reliable, his occasional reclusive nature made her deeply question his ability to be a wingman.

Seeing the distrust in Mo Ruyu's eyes, Chen Wei guessed that she had probably revealed too much inadvertently. He coughed lightly to ease the awkward situation and said, "Don't worry at all! There will be absolutely no problem!" As he spoke, he patted his chest, appearing very confident.

Mo Ruyu looked at Chen Wei with suspicion, but seeing his confident demeanor, she thought that perhaps there was a chance.

"And don't worry, the reward is that you have to love Ye Zixing wholeheartedly, even though you're still a first-year high school student~"

"You know you're a freshman!" Mo Ruyu complained, but Chen Wei and Ye Zixing's height, build, and appearance didn't seem like freshmen at all; they looked more like seniors.

"In short, you can rest assured that I'll be your wingman!"

"I don't understand... but I'll trust you for now..." Although Mo Ruyu was still very confused, she temporarily established a cooperative relationship with Chen Wei.

Actually, I think if this novel didn't already have a main character, this pair could also be a main character. I've even thought of a title: "My Crush's Best Friend Became My Wingman and Made My Crush Fall in Love with Me." See, isn't that clever?

Ahem, back to the main topic. The two of them haven't even passed through the cave yet, but Leng Yihan on the other side has already explored almost everything.

The three of them slowly explored forward, guided by the light of the fairy lantern. So far, nothing strange had happened; it seemed to be just a deep and ordinary cave.

"This cave... seems to have nothing there?" Leng Binglan asked before they even reached the end, clearly feeling that the journey had been too peaceful and something was wrong. It wasn't the calm before the storm, but rather that this cave was truly empty, just a relatively deep cave randomly generated by the system.

As a result, Leng Binglan's flag came into effect, and lights appeared on the other side of the cave. Leng Yihan immediately glanced around, pulled Leng Binglan and Lin Yin, and hid against the stone wall, which was just the blind spot for those coming from the opposite path.

They immediately put away the fairy lanterns, and the three of them held their weapons in their hands, wary of the other light source. Leng Yihan waited for a while and, finding that she did not hear any footsteps, peeked out. However, the light source did not move any further.

"I want to wipe out everyone in Class 2 of Grade 1 right now... It's inexplicably scary..." Lin Yin said in a low voice, her voice revealing a hint of unease, as if... she was afraid of ghosts?

"Wild woman... are you afraid of ghosts?" Leng Binglan said teasingly. Lin Yin blushed and retorted, "Who's afraid of ghosts! Those things that don't even exist... who would be afraid of them!" Although she said that, her body language betrayed her fear.

"Stop arguing... Let's go take a look." Leng Yihan stood up. He had been observing the light source at the corner of the cave for a long time, but there was no movement. He guessed that it might have triggered some kind of mechanism to light it up.

If it's a trap... why haven't we received any notifications about triggering it along the way? Or is it that traps aren't triggered by the system? Why? Is it because the main quest is already complete, hence the lack of notifications? If I hadn't killed the dragon, would there be more plot developments here? Could this be a hidden character? This light source clearly appeared just as we approached, so was it triggered by a trap, or did someone over there use something to make it emit light? If it was a person...

As Leng Yihan pondered, his thoughts became increasingly complex. He then shook his head to banish the jumbled ideas from his mind. In any case, he was very strong, and if anything unexpected happened, he could just retaliate!

The moment Leng Yihan took out the fairy lantern, she stood at the corner, her katana facing the path ahead, but there was no one there, only a chandelier that had been turned on at some unknown time.

"Huh?" Leng Yihan looked up at the chandelier in confusion, then realized something, and without saying a word, jumped back and immediately used a quick draw slash.

"Watch out!" Leng Binglan warned, but Leng Yihan had already dodged the attack coming from the bottom of the cave. Leng Yihan looked down and saw, wow, a huge "earthworm"!
