Chapter 3 Closed Classroom (3)

Although it was a waste of an opportunity to receive a real reward, Yi Han was quite satisfied with using this opportunity to kill a ghost. Especially when the system prompted that if you eliminated 1 hostile NPC, you would get +10 points when you cleared the level.

This also confirmed his conjecture: the ghosts in the level can be used to brush points. It was worth it for him to pretend to be deaf and dumb all the way and bring this fake teammate with him——

I hope he can keep up the good work, be more proactive, and bring more ghosts to me.

The exploration level of this floor has been fully explored, so the two of them returned silently to the middle of the corridor, in front of the locked door.

"The key I found before was hidden in an opaque light tube. Judging from this hiding style, the next key will most likely be in a more convenient location." Yi Han thought about it and suddenly turned to ask the boy next to him, "What about you? Where did you hide your key at that time?"

On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with his question, but in fact, he was just trying to find fault. This teammate was fake, so where did he find the key?

“In…” The boy broke out in a cold sweat. After a long while, he followed Yi Han’s thoughts and said uncertainly, “In the crack on the door frame…?”

"Hmm..." Yi Han pondered this obviously improvised answer in his mind, and actually thought that this idea was not bad.

There is nothing special near this door, and the space to hide things is very limited.

Yi Han faced it, took a few steps back, and when he looked up, he saw a small piece of glass above the door... It seemed to be double-layered, and the texture was translucent and frosted, so he couldn't tell if there was anything hidden in the middle.

It can’t really be here, right…?

Yi Han immediately ordered: "Help me move a chair."

The teammate who had just wiped the cold sweat off his face hurriedly went to work.

When the chair was moved over, Yi Han climbed up and immediately saw a shadow through the gap at the bottom of the glass. The key was really hidden in the gap between the two pieces of glass.

Yi Han glanced at the boy standing below in surprise. If he hadn't looked so silly, he would have almost thought that he had deliberately missed a question for him...

Yi Han raised the chair leg again and knocked on it, but the glass did not break.

After trying a few more times, the chair legs broke.

It seems that it was used too frequently and died.

But...Yi Han threw away the chair leg, bent his fingers, and tried to tap it lightly.

The frosted glass looked normal, but it made a dull sound like metal.

Sure enough, this glass is not glass in the conventional sense. Even if the key is hidden right under your nose, it won't be so easy for the player to take it.

In the game, it is impossible to set something that the player cannot get. Maybe in the system settings, it is necessary to use another method to take out the key. For example, find a magnet to attract the key, and then take it out through the gap in another corner of the glass.

Yi Han thought about it carefully and remembered that he had seen magnets in a classroom. It was probably a physics classroom used for experiments, but he couldn't remember which one it was.

In this case, if he went back to look for it, it would probably take a lot of time. At present, the exploration level of this floor has been fully explored, and Yi Han has no patience to go back and look for things again.

So he thought about it, and finally took out the S-level iron pot he had just obtained from the inventory.

"After all, you are an S-level. If you can't cook, knocking on a piece of glass shouldn't be a problem..." Thinking of this, Yi Han tried the weight and felt that it should be fine, so he swung the pot vigorously.

There was a loud bang and the glass shattered.

The teammates below were stunned.

Yi Han also felt that his weapon was a bit embarrassing, so he put away the pot expressionlessly, took out the key, and jumped off the table: "What's wrong?"

Teammate: “…Where did this come from?”

Yi Han: "...What pot? You saw it wrong."

After finally confirming that he had gained enough exploration points, Yi Han used the key to open the door of the stairwell.

It was pitch black inside the door. Yi Han instructed his teammates: "Turn on the flashlights."

It was a little past 21:00 at this time. Yi Han had not eaten since lunch. Later, he had been in a fight and banged on doors and glass with injuries. He just felt hungrier and hungrier... Unfortunately, looking at this situation, the system would not let him eat until he finished the game.

Touching the wound that was torn and bleeding from the violent movement, Yi Han took the lead and stepped into the stairwell first.

"Be careful, brother." His good teammate said this lightly again.

"Hmm..." The light switch in the stairwell was just on the left hand side after entering the door. Yi Han stretched out his hand, but instead of touching the switch, he felt a cold hand first.

However, he was mentally prepared as early as when he heard his "teammate" say "be careful".

Yi Han remained calm, loosened his hand and touched the side a few times.

With a click, the lights came on, and the chill that had been creeping in around me dissipated in an instant.

There was nothing strange near the switch, as if what I just touched was just an illusion.

Yi Han didn't say much to his teammates, he just turned around and called him in.

After both of them entered the stairwell, the iron door closed and locked with a "click".

Yi Han tried and it worked. The lock was locked from the outside, so it could be opened from the staircase, but a key was required from the classroom.

Teammate: "Brother, shall we take the elevator?"

Yi Han immediately looked at him as if he were a fool.

Teammate: "Uh, well, the elevator is stopped."

Yi Han: "...We are now on the eighth floor, the highest floor of this teaching building. If nothing goes wrong, we can get to the first floor and find the key to the main door of the teaching building, and then we can pass through."

However, the hiding area of the last key was quite large, so it was hard to guess. Yi Han decided to search every classroom and get all the bonus points for exploration.

There are less than 3 hours left until the final deadline. Time is very tight.

Teammate: "Should we still split up and look for it?"

Yi Han: "Come with me."

In fact, he originally wanted this person to stay with him so that he could kill a few more ghosts, but the other party obviously misunderstood and thought he had discovered something, and immediately became a little nervous.

In this atmosphere, the two began to search every floor. The boy followed Yi Han and did almost nothing, but he always felt very uncomfortable. Even the stick that Yi Han hit on his forehead at the beginning began to hurt again...

So while Yi Han wasn't paying attention, he took out his phone and opened the group chat again.

Yi Han took a quick glance and knew that he was trying to cause trouble again, but this was exactly what he wanted, so he pretended not to see it.

In this way, we quickly reached the third floor.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Yi Han discovered that there seemed to be something glowing inside the desk.

He raised his leg and stepped over the threshold, and then he heard the classroom door slam shut behind him.

The teammates outside the door knocked on the door and called out as if it was real: "Brother! What's going on! Why is the door locked!"

Yi Han ignored him, staring at the desk, and took out an iron pot.

Then I heard a "mmm" sound coming from the cabinet under the desk.

The cabinet door was originally closed, but at this moment it seemed as if there was something inside, gently pushing the door.

The "crunch" sound was very long, making people feel irritated for no reason.

Blood flowed out from the crack of the cabinet door, and soon it flowed all over the podium and toward Yi Han's feet. Yi Han took a step back and dodged.

The teammates outside were still banging on the door, and the noise was extremely noisy.

The ghost in the cabinet door pushed the door very slowly. I don’t know if it was intentional or if it was just that slow.

Yi Han stared at the ghost as it slowly opened the cabinet door. Deciding to do a test, he stretched out his leg and closed the door that it had pushed open with great difficulty.

ghost:……?

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but its humming sound seemed to pause for a moment.

Then repeat the previous action.

The movement is still just as slow.

Now Yi Han was sure that it didn't do it on purpose. This ghost was probably just a slow-tempered one.

When it was about to crawl out again, Yi Han stretched his legs and kicked the cabinet door closed again.

ghost:…………

The ghost seemed angry.

Its voice became angry and plaintive.

The force used to push the door increased, and this time Yi Han found that he seemed to be no match for it.

Covering the wound on his chest, he stepped back slightly. When the ghost with long hair and a ferocious face crawled out, Yi Han gritted his teeth and swung the iron pan in his hand hard.

The iron pot collided with my head, making a loud bang that was painful to hear.

The female ghost had no time to dodge because her long hair covered her eyes and her movements were too slow. She was hit hard and fell to the ground with a "ugh" sound.

Yi Han didn't expect that all the ghosts in the novice level were so weak. He was stunned for a long time before he put away the iron pot. He reached into the desk and took out the thing he had noticed just now.

A piece of paper, the background pattern was exactly the same as the blank cookbook he had obtained before, and a faint light was flowing on it.

【Recipe: Braised Pork】

Yi Han took out his blank cookbook from the inventory, and instantly, the single page of paper turned into flowing light and merged into the book.

Then the content appeared on the first page.

[Recipe: Braised Pork (already learned)]

[Instructions: After eating, blood will be restored according to the deliciousness]

Yi Han was stunned and couldn't help but touch the wound on his chest again.

Although this escape game is called a "game", it is different from the "games" he had played before. The players here do not have health bars.

So what does this so-called blood recovery mean? Does it mean recovering from injuries?

If this braised pork could really help him recover from his injuries, wouldn't he be able to save the 100 points he originally intended to use for treatment? In fact, if he could eat it now and recover his strength, wouldn't he be completely safe in this level? A 50% decrease in ability actually had a big impact on him. He really didn't want to live this kind of life again, where he had to take a breath every time he waved a pot...

But...what should I do now that there are no raw materials?

Moreover, Yi Han actually doesn't know how to cook. Although he has always lived on his own... his cooking skills have always been very impressive, and it can only be said that the food is not deadly. So if we follow the standards of this recipe, even if we eat meat, it is estimated that it will not bring back much blood.

At this moment, the weak "resentment of the former boss" spoke again: "You don't need to do anything with our pot... Just throw the raw materials in, and it will automatically make the most delicious food. In addition, since you have taken over our restaurant, you now have the boss's authority. You can directly connect to the system store and buy ingredients even in the level."

Upon hearing this, Yi Han opened it and took a look, and it was true.

This system store should only be opened to redeem rewards after completing each level and returning to the hut. But because of the store, Yi Han can buy things directly in the level. Although there is only an ingredient interface, it is already very convenient.

Unfortunately, he has no points yet...

"Does the system allow me to mortgage something and advance some points?" he asked the system.

The system quickly gave an answer: the player's body and soul are now owned by the game company, so they cannot be mortgaged again. However, other property obtained in the copy can be mortgaged.

"This female ghost is my captive now. She can be considered my property, right? I will mortgage her. How much can I borrow?" Yi Han looked around the room and finally pointed at the female ghost lying on the ground and said.

The system was noticeably silent for a moment.

Then the female ghost on the ground disappeared out of thin air, and Yi Han's account had 10 more points.

It seems a bit cheap... but it's enough to buy ingredients for braised pork. Yi Han was already very hungry at the moment, and he didn't bother to care. He looked at the recipe and started buying things one by one from the store.

The prices of vegetable seasonings and the like are cheap in themselves, and 10 points are just enough to buy one portion.

Put the ingredients into the iron pan according to the proportion, wait for 1 minute impatiently, and the braised pork is ready.

The fragrance soon wafted out.

A serving of braised pork only had two or three pieces, placed shakily on an exquisite plate with chopsticks next to it.

The aroma was so strong that Yi Han, who had been hungry for a long time, couldn't help but feel his stomach growl. He picked up the chopsticks and quickly put the meat into his mouth.

It was smooth and tender, crispy and soft, with a slightly sweet taste. Yi Han instantly felt as if he was being soothed from his tongue all the way to his hungry stomach, and his whole body felt comfortable.

After swallowing the first bite, he savored it for a while and then reached out for his chopsticks for the second time.

In a few bites, the whole small plate was finished.

Although I felt a little unsatisfied, at least I had something in my stomach so I wasn’t as hungry as before.

Moreover, after eating everything, Yi Han felt a warm current filling his body.

The wound on his chest felt slightly warm, and the flesh seemed to be healing spontaneously. After a while, the long glass was squeezed out of his body. The wound closed, and his chest became smooth and flat, without even a scar.

Yi Han looked at his wound in surprise for a long time, then checked his personal information on his phone.

In the status column, hunger and serious injury disappeared, replaced by "weakness".

Weakness: After recovering from a serious illness, physical strength, recovery ability, reaction speed, etc. are 80% of the healthy state. Remaining time: 24 hours. High-quality sleep can shorten the weakness time.

Although it didn’t recover to 100%, Yi Han was very satisfied. After all, it only cost 10 points.

He put away his phone and iron pot with satisfaction. As for the tableware, it disappeared on its own after he finished eating. It was extremely convenient.

It was not until this time that Yi Han remembered that the fake teammate was still outside the door.

When I opened the classroom door, I saw this man pretending to be nervous, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at the desk: "Brother, are you okay? What happened just now?"

Yi Han was in a good mood at the moment and smiled at him: "It's okay."

The boy had obviously seen the pool of blood on the ground, but his ghost colleague was nowhere to be found. He couldn't help but look worried, but didn't dare to ask. He could only say: "I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay... What's that smell?" He suddenly sniffed.

Yi Han: "...Oh, I was so hungry just now, so I ate something."

Teammate: ???

"What?" Where can I find food to eat in this empty classroom?

Yi Han also followed his gaze and looked back. Seeing how worried he was, he suddenly couldn't help wanting to tease him, so he turned his head and smiled sinisterly: "What else can I eat? Of course, meat."

Teammate: …………? !

--------------------

Teammate: My colleague was eaten, what should I do? I want to resign...
