Chapter 982: Chapter 457: Lin Yi’s Question

"Maybe... he has some unspeakable secrets?" Lin Yi weakly guessed.

"Who knows." Convenience Store Owner -003 shrugged, "He’s the type who occasionally causes trouble, usually very steady in his actions, but when he does make a mess, it’s a big one..."

Saying this, a cloud of inescapable gloom hovered between the Convenience Store Owner -003’s brows.

"Telling you all this is pointless, you’re leaving soon. Just do what needs to be done."

He sighed softly and patted Lin Yi on the shoulder.

Lin Yi opened his mouth; it wasn’t appropriate for him to chime in on high-level personnel’s complaints. Asking questions was already his limit; saying more would seem overstepping.

But when it came to the Art Building, Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask, "By the way, the open areas within the Art Building don’t seem that numerous. Why not simply dismantle the signs? The painting isn’t thorough either."

Convenience Store Owner -003 cast a glance at him, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth: "A question this simple, shouldn’t you think about it?"

"Hmm...?" Lin Yi paused, thinking about the tone of Convenience Store Owner -003, "The reason for not dismantling is because it’s to guide people... Painting over it is because they don’t want people to go over, but not painting it completely is to let people see clearly..."

He suddenly shivered: "For ’selection’?!"

Convenience Store Owner -003 smiled.

"You’ve realized."

But Lin Yi’s heart couldn’t calm down: "It’s like ’No three hundred taels of silver here’... it’s to let people explore? It’s the same with some of the rules on the Student Code?!"

"Using human curiosity to achieve the goal of selection?!"

Convenience Store Owner -003 calmly said: "You’ve finally thought of this aspect."

Lin Yi took a deep breath, so the essence of the Student Code is guiding...?

For those itching to explore the school’s secrets, it is an action guide!

Nothing is actually something!

Don’t do something means you can do something!

And the fallback method for this is the last item in the code—

[Please pay attention to your health. If during school time you find yourself experiencing dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, or other discomfort, please find the Dormitory Supervisor or Homeroom Teacher before the night. They will take you to the infirmary, and the School Doctor will take you to the school gate. Once you see a blue school bus (note: blue school bus, other colors please ignore), get on the bus immediately, and the driver will take you out of the school to end the experience.]

If a problem arises during exploration, quickly enter the selection phase, switch Sports Students to Sports Students, switch Art Students to Art Students, and those who can’t do anything but can be saved are arranged to leave on the blue bus, while those who can’t be saved have to resign to fate.

This is why the Homeroom Teacher can decide for Sports Students, but the code still arranges a switch with the School Doctor!

Because the School Doctor makes the final judgment!

And there are many types of Experience Students. For those who live in numbness, the code is just surface-level rules, while for the restless ones, the code is an action guide plus a fallback plan—of course, for those who are overconfident, even a fallback method is useless.

But anyway, it serves the purpose of "selection."

Why is it that even at this stage, so many interpretations can be made from the Student Code itself?

No wonder there are so many rules in the school area. I didn’t expect the official layout to be so detailed, with many subtleties boasting high value.

Lin Yi pondered: "You mean... I can go to the Observatory?"

Convenience Store Owner -003, like a godly master, said leisurely: "When you feel you can go, you can go."

He pointed at Lin Yi’s chest: "Whether to go or not, listen to your heart."

"Huh? Listen to my heart... and not the code?" Lin Yi was momentarily stunned.

"If you wholeheartedly want to go, the code can’t stop you." said Convenience Store Owner -003, "Moreover, the code itself is not a shackles, but a protection. But when you step out of the range the code can provide protection for, blindly following it becomes foolish."

"Whether the code is applicable or not depends on your own...’position’."

"Moreover, the code is like a textbook. For some people, like you, it should help you understand the school’s operational rules through the code..."

Convenience Store Owner -003 abruptly stopped here, cutting the conversation short. _{free.webn\ove(l)(.)c(o)m}

This hasty pause gave Lin Yi an eerie feeling, much like the factors mentioned when discussing with Tian Bufan. Could it be that Convenience Store Owner -003 is also a part of the plan he was unaware of?

But who could communicate with the Convenience Store Owner?

No one goes to the Convenience Store...

Could it be... Liangzi?

Other than Liangzi, no one else from the dormitory has been to the Convenience Store, and besides, Liangzi came during the last school entry.

According to Wei Liang’s account of "the last two dazed days spent in the dormitory," he seemed to have caused quite a stir...

Lin Yi originally thought so many Pseudo-Human Wei Liangs were invincible, so what is this Netherworld operation that messed up the Convenience Store?

The most puzzling thing is Convenience Store Owner -003 hasn’t even caught Wei Liang...

The corner of Convenience Store Owner -003’s eye involuntarily twitched, as if realizing the tone was too "familiar," not suitable for a first meeting, so he cleared his throat and said, "Anything else you want to ask... you better not ask about the Art Building’s situation."

Lin Yi pursed his lips. He initially wanted to ask more details about the Art Building, but seeing Convenience Store Owner -003 directly shut him down, he had to bite his lips, brace himself, and asked: "Can I ask one more thing related to the Art Building... is that okay?"
