Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead
Chapter 169: Karloros School Guide. Li Xin with a Heart Sealed in Cement

"I'm perfectly fine with my name."

Bai Liang, as if completely missing the hint, stated these words with pride.

Li Xin had long grown accustomed to his thick skin and had no intention of arguing further. She simply turned and walked inside.

"Come in."

Bai Liang followed her.

Inside, it was quite quiet a completely different atmosphere compared to what he had encountered last time.

"Did everyone from your camp go into dungeons?" he asked, surveying the empty room.

"What did you think? That everyone would be as idle as you, aimlessly running around other people's camps?" Li Xin retorted, taking a seat further into the room.

At that moment, the office door opened, and a little girl emerged Wu Fanfan.

In her hands, she held a dungeon guide, reading it attentively, completely engrossed in the text.

"Sister Xin, how do you deal with that creepy thing in this dungeon... Hey, "Dai Lao"?"

The girl was muttering to herself, but when she looked up and saw Bai Liang, her eyes immediately lit up!

Today, she was wearing a pink hoodie with cute ears on the hood her whole look was very girlish.

Without heavy makeup, her face no longer looked like that of a sassy hooligan now, it exuded youthful exuberance.

"Ay-ay-ay! "Dai Lao," huh?" Li Xin twisted her lips and deliberately, enviously, muttered.

"Why weren't you this excited when I returned from the dungeon?"

"Of course, I was! Sister Xin, I was very happy then too!" Wu Fanfan turned to Bai Liang with a mischievous smile and exclaimed excitedly:

""Dai Lao," that method you gave me really worked!"

"I got an S-rank for that dungeon quest!"

Bai Liang looked at Li Xin in surprise, his gaze clearly seeking an explanation.

Li Xin met his gaze and nodded:

"This girl entered the same dungeon right after you went in."

"What's more, she got a "pass" in advance and completed the dungeon, emerging a few hours before you did."

"How were you able to enter that specific dungeon so accurately?" Bai Liang squinted with interest.

In the Strange World, there is an uncountable number of dungeons.

The exact number is unknown to anyone, as new dungeons are constantly being discovered.

For instance, the last dungeon Bai Liang entered had never been encountered by anyone before.

Yet Wu Fanfan, simply by reading a guide, accurately found the right dungeon.

This seemed strange.

A guess flashed through Bai Liang's mind.

He looked at Li Xin hesitantly and asked:

"That was an artifact, right?"

Other than by means of an artifact, he had no other explanation.

Some high-level items could indeed point to a specific dungeon.

For example, the service artifact that Zi Yunfeng from the Professional Association previously used to synchronize with Bai Liang and enter the same dungeon as him.

Although Bai Liang himself had never seen such items firsthand, he knew they existed.

"Mm-hmm," Li Xin nodded.

Li Xin nodded, acknowledging the fact, but didn't elaborate on the topic.

Nearby, Wu Fanfan could no longer hold back.

She lifted the walkthrough guide and eagerly asked:

"Dai Lao, I have a problem again! There's some creepy entity in this dungeon, and it's really hard to deal with. Is there a way to defeat it?"

Bai Liang said nothing.

Wu Fanfan looked at his face and immediately understood everything.

She immediately transferred 1000 Rule Points to Bai Liang.

As soon as the points arrived, Bai Liang immediately broke into a satisfied smile.

What a smart girl, she immediately understands what to do!

---

"Hey, hey, hey!" Li Xin couldn't help but interject. "You have extra points, why didn't you ask me? Am I your captain, or is he your captain?!"

Wu Fanfan turned around and hesitantly mumbled:

"Um... Xin-jie, there's one thing... but I'm not sure if I should say it..."

"DON'T!"

Li Xin felt her eye twitch and decided to just turn away to avoid getting further irritated.

Bai Liang and Wu Fanfan exchanged glances.

Both simultaneously raised their eyebrows and shrugged.

---

"Dai Lao, look at this guide. The rules here are quite complicated; everything else is clear, but I just can't figure out the class part."

Bai Liang took the guide, skimmed through it, and focused on the section about the class.

---

Dungeon: "Karloros School"

Upon entering the dungeon, players become students of this school.

Completion Requirements:

- Find the missing security guard within seven days.

- Obtain the key to the school's main doors.

- Open the sealed gate.

---

Bai Liang did not read the other rules; he focused solely on the rules related to the class.

There are only 48 students in each class.

Each student has a unique account used for receiving homework assignments in the class chat.

The group is led by a class monitor, whom players elect by vote.

Teachers are administrators, while the other students are regular group members.

During classes:

❌ No sleeping

❌ No whispering

❌ No turning around

❌ No looking away from the blackboard

After class, the teacher posts assignments in the class chat.

Every assignment is mandatory.

However, creepy entities might be hidden within the assignment documents.

If you accidentally open the wrong file that entity will turn its gaze upon the player...

---

"Boss, I've been racking my brain for hours, but I still can't figure out how to avoid making a mistake with the file and not attracting that damned creature!" Wu Fanfan frowned.

In fact, Bai Liang had understood how to solve the problem from the very first minute.

He was about to speak, but at that moment, a new figure entered through the gates of the "Zero Clearing Base."

---

Several people sitting in the shelter immediately turned their attention to him.

It was a tall and well-built young man.

A white shirt, black dress pants, a dark green tie his entire demeanor exuded confidence and professionalism.

The first thing that came to mind when looking at him was "elite."

"This guy's here again?!"

Seeing the uninvited guest, Wu Fanfan frowned discontentedly and muttered to himself.

Li Xin also frowned slightly and pretended not to notice him.

Bai Liang, noticing their strange reaction, immediately suspected something and quietly asked Wu Fanfan:

"Is he sucking up?"

He nodded, even without moving his lips, muttering:

"This guy comes to Sister Xin every few days, like a sticky plaster you can't get rid of him."

"Who is he?" Bai Liang asked.

"Xu Yaowen, an elite member of the "Arnold Guild.""

"His brother is one of the high-ranking members of the guild."

"They say he's a true genius. He's only been in the Strange World for a year, and he's already become a Tier 3 professional."

There was a hint of disdain in Wu Fanfan's tone; it was clear she didn't like this guy at all.

"Achieve Tier 3 in a year? Yes, that's truly impressive..." Bai Liang scanned the guy from head to toe. "He's so strong, so why does your Xin-jie seem not to favor him?"

Hearing this, Wu Fanfan curled her lips in disdain:

"Uncle, you're probably not aware. They say this guy is smart, but he's most likely just pumped full of resources. And his character isn't great either. Xin-jie would never pay attention to someone like him."

"Besides, have you forgotten the story I told you?"

"That brother with the perfectly working intestines..." Bai Liang nodded understandingly.

How does that song go?

"A broken heart is like shattered glass~"

This guy, it seems, doesn't even realize that the object of his affections has a heart sealed in cement.
