Chapter 12 School for the Blind

After making sure that the guards and Ge Lun had disappeared without a trace, Xu Zhiyan took out a map and followed the route to the library.

However, the library door was closed at this time.

From the various mottled black marks on the door lock, it can be seen that a player has been here and failed to open the door.

Xu Zhiyan didn't waste time.

I immediately changed direction and rushed to the Student Activity Center in the slightly cool night breeze.

He remembered that when he was going through the formalities, he saw a door that led to the library.

The Student Activity Center building is empty and lonely.

It looks eerie during the day and even more so at night. Its square appearance looks more like a coffin.

Unlike a library.

The revolving door here is not closed at night.

Xu Zhiyan lay outside the glass door, looking at the darkness inside, and couldn't help but think of the monster with burnt skin behind the window.

But I just wasted too much time in the school hospital.

There is less than an hour left before the time limit for the side quest ends, so there is no chance to find the key.

Seeing the fire extinguisher box hanging on the wall of the activity center, which was fully equipped with three fire extinguishers, he no longer hesitated, pushed open the revolving door and walked in.

A suffocating darkness enveloped the entire hall.

As soon as he came in, Xu Zhiyan wrinkled his nose and headed straight for the library corridor.

The temperature in the air has risen a lot compared to outside, and the smell of burning fills every corner. In the window where work is done during the day, there are burnt monsters lurking.

“Bang!”

“Ka——”

A black hand slapped the window glass, and the glass door that was rotating just now was stuck and could not be opened.

At the same time, the game pops up a prompt.

[Congratulations to the players for entering the special scene - the burning student activity center]

[Difficulty: E]

[Note: The staff who were burned to death here will re-ignite at night and attack any player who enters here.]

[Mission: Extinguish the Monster]

[Tip: Players can use the supplies provided in the scene to deal with monsters. Each fire extinguisher can spray three times, and a single spray can extinguish a monster. ]

Xu Zhiyan didn't have time to look at the panel. The small door leading to the library in the corner was still open, so he quickened his pace.

As if mocking his arrogance, just when he was only one step away from rushing through the door, the narrow door closed in front of him with a "click".

[Tip: Please do not struggle in vain. You must successfully defeat the monsters before leaving the special scene.]

“…Shit.”

Taking a deep breath, Xu Zhiyan gave the closed door a middle finger.

The temperature continued to rise, and flames lit up in the windows on the left side of the hall.

Monsters with burnt brown skin crawled out from above the glass counter. Flames wrapped around them, emitting scorching heat that almost dried up all the moisture in the space.

1, 2, 3...There are 5 in total.

Xu Zhiyan was not very embarrassed at first.

The difficulty level is E. It sounds very simple, and there are three fire extinguishers in the fire box, which is enough for him even if he doesn't spray accurately.

But when he actually took out the fire extinguisher from the box and took a look at it, he felt like he was struck by lightning.

The pressure gauge on the fire extinguisher indicates in the red zone.

It's empty!

Someone used the fire extinguisher!

The monsters have already climbed out of the windows, their movements becoming more and more agile, and the burning flames are enough to make one's scalp tingle even before they get close.

Xu Zhiyan threw away the empty fire extinguisher in his hand in a panic, glanced at the other two, gritted his teeth and ran to the door.

In the live broadcast room, the audience broke into a cold sweat for him.

[Xiao Baiwan is so unlucky. A player has entered this scene before and has used up most of the props. Now there is only one fire extinguisher left.]

[Hey? Why didn't the anchor use the fire extinguisher to kill the three first, and then use the props to kill the remaining two? He should be able to kill the two monsters, so why did he run to the door to die? ]

[…I may not be able to kill him]

The old audience who had been waiting in the live broadcast room until the next day fell into a brief collective silence after seeing the question from the new audience.

It took a while before someone came out to explain.

[The main reason is that Xiao Baiwan is a newcomer. He seems to have very poor physical fitness. He relied on his IQ to win, but now he is just blind.]

[Yeah, these NPCs all look insane, and they don't seem to be able to communicate at all.]

[Don't even mention Xiao Baiwan. Although these monsters are low-level, the extinguished monsters will be ignited by other monsters. It will be difficult without targeted props. ]

As the audience said.

With props scarce, Xu Zhiyan really couldn't defeat even the most common E-level monsters.

He ran to the door, holding the anesthetic gun in his hand, calmed himself down and fired a shot at the nearest monster!

"Bang--"

The first shot went astray.

These monsters are much smaller than the dormitory teacher, and it is difficult for an ordinary person like him who has no training to hit them.

Xu Zhiyan glanced at his own panel.

Every shot from this unfortunate weapon consumes five points of his mental power.

[Name: Xu Zhiyan]

[Status: Weak, Burning]

[Mental Threshold: 0-59]

[Current Spirit: 49]

The previous shot from the dormitory teacher, plus the current shot, consumed more than one-sixth of his mental strength.

Although we still don’t know what will happen when our mental strength reaches its limit, we can be sure that it will not be a good thing!

The situation was urgent. Xu Zhiyan held the weapon firmly in his hand and fired again.

“Bang—bang!”

Got it!

But why didn't the monster react?

He looked carefully and found that the numbing/tranquilizing bullet he had fired exploded prematurely due to the burning of the flames, and the residue was trampled under the monster's feet.

“…”

Xu Zhiyan cursed in his heart what a rubbish game it was, wasting his ten points of spirit value!

But the situation was critical and he had no time to feel bad, so he ran towards the rest area of the activity center.

The rest area has large pillars and seats arranged in a circle.

Fortunately, this place was big enough for him and the monsters to circle around.

In the live broadcast room, some people started to speak pessimistically.

【This time I really took a break. 】

[It's no use for the King of Qin to go around the pillar! These monsters look tough and thick-skinned. Little Baiwan will have to go around with them until dawn.]

[Hahahahaha, I'm just saying, how can a newcomer be as amazing as you guys make him out to be? ]

[There are many newcomers who died at the hands of E-level monsters. One more or one less won't make a difference.]

[Huh? Why don’t you go around anymore? Have you given up?]

[Wait! I think he has figured out a solution...]

The current situation is displayed on the live screen.

Xu Zhiyan ran until his breathing became disordered. He led the five monsters to run around the rest area for more than ten laps, and during the run he pushed over several chairs in an attempt to hinder the monsters' progress.

But these efforts are a drop in the bucket.

Except for the two that ran over first and were tripped by tables and chairs, the remaining three quickly caught up with them.

The five burning monsters expanded from five fire points into a huge fireball as they ran.

Xu Zhiyan turned his head to look at the monster following him, gritted his teeth and increased his speed again. He had not done strenuous exercise for too long, and his weak body could not adapt well. He felt that his legs no longer belonged to him, and his heart felt as if it was being squeezed in someone's hand.

Finally, he ran to the fire box.

Taking out the only fire extinguisher that was still working and pulling the safety pin, Xu Zhiyan felt the heat wave already sticking to his back.

Without thinking, he turned around and sprayed the monster violently.

"Ah uh uh uh..."

"ah……"

The monster that was burning just now curled up into a ball, struggled for a moment, let out a strange scream, and finally went out and cooled down.

[Congratulations to the player for successfully passing the special scene (E)]

The prompt appeared, and Xu Zhiyan slowly sat down with his back against the wall. His chest heaved violently, his cheeks flushed, and he looked as if he had been pulled out of the water. It was unclear whether he was hot or tired.

There is only one fire extinguisher, and if it is used alone, only three monsters can be killed. The fact that the fire extinguisher has been used means that someone has been here, so it is likely that these monsters have been extinguished once, and it is uncertain whether they will be ignited by other monsters.

He has too few weapons at his disposal, so to be on the safe side, he must kill all the monsters at once to ensure a 100% chance of passing the level.

Control the positions of the monsters by running around the pillars and blocking them with tables and chairs until the five monsters are grouped together. Then the damage of the fire extinguisher can be changed from single-target damage to group damage...

He had no other choice at that time. Even if he was not sure, he could only try it. Fortunately, he guessed right.

After sitting quietly for more than ten minutes, Xu Zhiyan finally recovered.

"... Damn, this is a rubbish game."

After cursing, he felt better and slowly stood up, holding onto the wall.

The special scene ends and the small door in the corner reopens.

Xu Zhiyan touched his chin and looked around. After waiting for a long time, there was no new pop-up window. He couldn't help but mutter, "There's no reward at all?"

Since this particular scene has probably been cleared once before, is this reward also given to the first player to clear it?

Thinking of this, he stopped waiting.

Turning his gaze back to the fire extinguisher box, Xu Zhiyan took out the fire axe from it, squatted on the ground and dug up the extinguished monster from the ground.

After searching for a while, there was nothing.

"That shouldn't be the case. A monster took four hundred dollars from me this morning... I can't have spent it all, right?"

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something. He stood up, dragged a high stool, went to the last window, and imitated the charred monsters to climb in from the top of the glass wall.

A few minutes later, Xu Zhiyan took out two hundred yuan in bills from the drawer with a little disgust and returned to the hall with his spoils.

Holding the fire axe tightly, he walked through the small door and walked away.

The live broadcast room also changed its previous dull atmosphere and returned to joy.

[Hahahaha? Is this okay? ]

[Hahahahahahahahahahahaha the game doesn't give rewards? Then just go get them yourself! ]

[You are indeed a small millionaire! Here is a little trick to save money every day! 】

[Tsk tsk, the system will cry and the monsters will kneel down after seeing this! ]

[Hahaha, I really want to know what the monster lying on the ground is thinking right now, hahaha]

[They may also be marveling at how there can be such shameless people in this world! They have to take away what they gave away hahahahahaha]

[Bandit bloodline passive skill, right? ]
