Chapter 169: Chapter 78 "Approach
Lin Yi thought about everything that had happened after the classroom lights went out and nodded in strong agreement.
"Right, did the Sports Student tell you all this?"
"Yes."
"But... why would a Sports Student tell you those things? The Sports Student I encountered just told me not to think!"
"I have no idea." Tian Bufan shrugged, "Maybe... you look stupider?"
"..."
"You have been slain!"
Lin Yi was choked with anger but couldn’t help saying, "But, didn’t they tell you too much?"
"They told me a lot because I asked a lot!" Tian Bufan said exasperatedly, "You have to ask! If you don’t ask, what are they going to tell you?"
"double kill!!"
"..."
"I did ask!" Lin Yi said, "But they told me the secrets of this school district are like a magnetic field, once I step into it, my cognition will be overturned, smashed. If I can’t rebuild my cognition, I’m done for."
"That’s not a bad way to put it." Tian Bufan nodded, looking at Lin Yi with a smirk, "Though the magnetic field theory is somewhat interesting, it doesn’t apply to us."
"Ask yourself, even if you knew this, have you not stepped into the magnetic field? Can you avoid entering the magnetic field?"
"Don’t be naive, Old Lin."
"Our inspiration, it meant that we stepped into the magnetic field the moment we entered the school district."
Lin Yi was pinned to the bed by Tian Bufan’s words.
Tian Bufan continued, "They told me roughly the same thing, but I told them that I was ready to enter this magnetic field, so they talked to me."
"Triple kill!!"
"..."
"So..." Lin Yi’s tone was a bit dry, "you had this kind of realization from the start?"
"Realization?" Tian Bufan scoffed, "Are you mistaken? Did you forget that I didn’t come here just to ’survive for seven days’? I came here from the start with the intention to ’explore’."
"Quadra kill!!!"
"Hiss..." Lin Yi gasped, suddenly realizing that in the face of the bizarre school district, a person like Tian Bufan who actively rewrote his cognition from the start, was much smoother in acceptance than him, who passively had his cognition overwritten!
"So... the Sports Student told you everything?"
"Probably because they also enjoyed seeing a Sports Student peer." Tian Bufan said.
"A Sports Student peer?! Damn! Are you really planning to stay here and not leave?" Lin Yi asked, both surprised and worried.
Tian Bufan looked at him, a teasing smile on his face, "Oh... how do you know that becoming a ’Sports Student’ means you can’t leave?"
Lin Yi was taken aback.
"Yeah, why would I think that?"
"Strange..."
"It’s really strange..."
"Probably because... Sports Students don’t have a Student ID card, right?" Lin Yi said.
"Right, Sports Students don’t have a Student ID card, so they can’t leave the school district through ordinary means."
"So... you really don’t plan to leave?"
"How could I not leave? We agreed to leave together from the start. Of course, no one intends to stay."
"Then why do you want to become a Sports Student?"
"If I didn’t say that, how would they tell me the information I wanted to know?"
"Panta kill!!!" Lin Yi’s expression changed drastically, feeling suddenly very foolish.
Tian Bufan took a deep breath, his voice grave, "Old Lin, you must admit that we cannot escape the attraction of the layers. Since we can’t avoid it, we must find a ’way’."
"In such a place, information is everything."
"Only by acquiring enough information to deduce useful pathways can we take the initiative, right?"
"Pathways?" Lin Yi said in a deep voice, "What ’pathways’ do you want to know about?"
Tapping the desk, Tian Bufan’s eyelids slightly drooped, displaying a sense of strategy, he spoke measuredly, "Including but not limited to..."
"One, pathways between different buildings within the school district."
"Two, pathways of a single building between different layers."
"And..."
"Three, transformation pathways between Experience Students, Sports Students, Art Students, and other ’identities’ or units within the school district."
Lin Yi suddenly felt his scalp tighten, a tingling sensation, "I can understand the first two, but what do you mean by the third? Identity transformation?"
"The Sports Student told me." Tian Bufan said, "Transforming from our type of Experience Students to a Sports Student or an Art Student, is considered a pathway."
"You’ve played games before, right?"
"Understand ’leveling up’ and ’class change’?"
"The range of activities for Experience Students is like the ’Novice Village’, staying on the ’surface layer’ of the school district, where you’re booted after seven days."
"But after changing classes to other ’identities,’ the corresponding range of activities and ’layers’ expand, allowing use of certain professional traits to operate in the ’inner layers’ of the school district."
"Our situation is dangerous because the Novice Village’s ’boundary sensation’ is very vague for us. So, once we cross the line, all we can do is promptly Traverse the boundary back to the Novice Village, or... grasp a new identity and acquire the ability to act in the ’inner layer’."
"Or in other words... ’rights’."
"Of course, I still don’t know exactly how to operate this kind of transformation pathway, and judging by the case of the Sports Students, it seems difficult to transform back once transformed."
"Plus, if you become an Art Student, things might be far worse than imagined."
"In conclusion, for safety considerations, I don’t intend to take risks with my body before I have fully grasped a ’pathway.’ I will only make some probes and attempts within the range I can control."
