Chapter 6 School for the Blind

The teacher in charge of transfer students is named Wang and is in his forties.

According to her, there were a total of ten transfer students who arrived safely. She was responsible for the five at the North Gate, and another teacher was responsible for the remaining five.

The players followed Teacher Wang to the nearest teaching building and entered an empty classroom.

The tables and chairs here are old, the blue curtains and broken fans, and many of the black wooden desks have lost their paint, revealing the original wood color inside. They are obviously quite old.

Teacher Wang took out a box from under the desk.

"There are ten classes, and one transfer student in each class." As she spoke, she took out five small slips of paper she had prepared in advance and threw them into the box.

"Everyone should choose a fair way to divide the classes, such as drawing lots."

"After the division, everyone will go to the Student Activity Center and exchange the slips for student ID cards and school uniforms and other daily necessities. Don't forget to choose your dormitory."

After she finished her instructions, she placed a campus map on the table and said, "Don't lose the note. The student center doesn't recognize people, they only recognize notes."

After saying that, Teacher Wang left the classroom, leaving time and space to the players.

After a brief silence, the players looked at each other.

The other three were riding on the same school bus.

Two men and one woman, they seemed to have reached an alliance.

Jin Sheng subconsciously looked at Xu Zhiyan beside him, but the other party's face turned even paler, completely different from the way he calmly chatted with the NPC guards outside the school.

"I'm fine." Receiving Jin Sheng's concerned look, Xu Zhiyan came back to his senses.

For some reason, from the moment he entered the campus, he felt the temperature around him drop a few degrees. This school shrouded in thick fog exuded a chill from the inside out.

At this time, the player in the black jacket stood up.

He first gave a brief introduction of himself.

"Li Zuoshan, this is his fourth time entering the game. The other two are Yao Xianxian and Tan An."

Yao Xianxian, a tall, delicate and beautiful girl.

It is said that he was a streamer before entering the game, making a living by his looks. When he entered the game for the second time, it seemed that his combat effectiveness was very low.

Tan An, an ordinary college student.

He was wearing glasses and had a confused look on his face, as if he didn't know what was going on.

Like Xu Zhiyan, Tan An was also entering the game for the first time.

The atmosphere was friendly at the beginning. However, after Li Zuoshan learned that Jin Sheng and Xu Zhiyan were not veteran players, he started to act arrogantly and gave orders.

"To be fair, let's not draw lots. Let's spread out the papers and choose. Whoever supports the class can choose that one."

As the most experienced player here, no one would compete with him.

After Li Zuoshan finished speaking, he waited for Jin Sheng's reaction.

Only Jin Sheng could possibly refute him. As for the pretty boy with skinny arms and legs? Li Zuoshan didn't care at all. He had seen many newcomers who looked like they were going to die soon!

Yao Xianxian, who was sitting at the table, raised her hand and pouted, "It's too troublesome. What if several people are interested in the same class?"

"Why don't we choose according to the order of how many times we have entered the dungeon!"

She smiled sweetly at the other four people.

Jin Sheng shook his head and refused without even thinking about it.

"No need, let's just draw lots."

It seems that the other three also have information about the class, otherwise they would not have proposed this method.

This basically ignores the two newcomers.

Xu Zhiyan didn't expect Jin Sheng to refuse.

After all, if we go by the number of times they enter the dungeon, Li Zuoshan will definitely choose the best one, followed by Jin Sheng. Yao Xianxian will take the middle class, and he and Tan An will go to the worst class.

The NPC teacher had "fight" written all over his face, and even emphasized the purpose of the note before leaving.

Isn't it obvious that they want to see players fighting over the class notes?

Jinsheng really surprised everyone.

He secretly glanced at Xu Zhiyan. Although he spent fifty more dollars... well, Xu Zhiyan was still indebted to him after all, and he would not agree to abandon his teammates like this.

Li Zuoshan looked at Jin Sheng, his expression gradually turning cold.

Yao Xianxian was humiliated and grumbled unhappily, "What does it matter? Aren't all classes the same? As for An An and the other newcomer, why not just let them play rock-paper-scissors?"

"Yes, it's the same wherever we go." Li Zuoshan also agreed.

Tan An didn't dare to say anything and just nodded.

While several people were arguing, Xu Zhiyan passed by Jin Sheng, patted him on the shoulder, walked up to the podium, and poured out all the notes in the box.

There are five notes in total.

The others' eyes were drawn to him, and he said, "I learned from the head of the guards that classes 1-10 here are ranked by test scores. The better the class, the better the class atmosphere and the easier it is to integrate into."

"Task 2 is to integrate into your class."

In other words, the better the class note you get, the easier it will be to complete Task 2.

"Now the situation is very clear. Some people will go to good classes, and some people will go to bad classes."

"After all, everyone wants to go to the front class, right?"

Hidden information is revealed.

Now they could no longer pretend to be foreign guests, and all their little tricks were exposed.

After hearing the explanation, Tan An suddenly realized what was going on and moved a few steps to the side, further away from the girl next to him.

Seeing this, Yao Xianxian secretly thought that something was wrong. After she and Li Zuoshan got this information from the driver, they did not tell Tan An. Instead, they said that all classes were the same and anyone could go.

"So what do you say we should do?"

Li Zuoshan stomped on the stool angrily, staring at the newcomer on the podium, with his weapon ready in his palm. If the newcomer dared to steal the note, he would attack immediately.

Xu Zhiyan didn't touch the note. Instead, he placed his hands on the podium and suggested with a smile, "Why don't we auction the note?"

"Everyone should know the rules of good and bad classes by now."

"The notes from different classes have different values. We all got our pocket money today, so why don't we have an auction and the highest bidder wins."

He glanced at the players who were thinking differently and continued, "This would be fairer."

"People who pay more can complete Task 2 better, and others can get compensation, which can also increase the survival rate of Task 2. It's a win-win situation."

Although he said it was fair, Xu Zhiyan was actually constantly calculating in his mind.

The original situation was unfavorable to him and Jin Sheng.

After the hidden information was made public, Tan An no longer trusted the two. If any suggestion was made now that could bring more benefits to Yao Xianxian, she would definitely be shaken.

As expected, Yao Xianxian was stunned at first, her big eyes blinking, and she couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster.

Yes, if it was the original proposal, she could only enter the middle class steadily. If she bid, she could get more money, or directly spend money to enter a better class.

After the class was divided, she had no connection with Li Zuoshan and did not have to worry about retaliation.

Thinking of this, she nodded and raised her hand first.

"I think this is a good idea! I agree~"

Tan An was pushed by her and nodded blankly: "I, I agree too."

Xu Zhiyan turned his gaze to Jin Sheng again, and the other party said without hesitation that he agreed.

Finally, he looked at Li Zuoshan and gave a harmless smile.

"This is an absolutely fair approach, what do you think, Mr. Li?"

Li Zuoshan was stunned.

He racked his brains but couldn't understand why the whole classroom became so one-sided after just a few words.

The temporary teammate on the school bus was unreliable, and the other two almost immediately turned against him for that little bit of benefit.

He clenched his fists, feeling very unwilling.

But now the ratio is four to one, and the golden-haired man seems to not care at all about the damage to his own interests. He has no choice but to agree.

Damn it! I could have easily gotten a spot in the best class, but now I have to spend pocket money to get it. If I had known this would happen, I would have drawn lots at the beginning, and then threatened the person who got the best class, forcing him to give me the note.

As for the lives of others, what does it have to do with him?

But at this point, he had lost two teammates, and it was unrealistic to fight one against four, so he was forced to agree.

Xu Zhiyan spread out five pieces of paper on the desk.

They are 1, 3, 6, 9, and 10 respectively.

The worst and best classes are here. No need to think too much, the last two classes must be twice as chaotic.

"Let me determine the auction rules." Xu Zhiyan picked up a piece of paper.

"The auction starts from 1, and the person with the highest bid will get the note. However, price differences are inevitable in the auction. In order to prevent everyone from getting unbalanced, after the transaction, the successful bidder will leave with the note."

"Those who didn't get the slip in the end will share the proceeds equally, and then draw lots to divide the classes."

"Does anyone have any objections? Or do you think it's unfair?"

Very simple rules.

Except for Li Zuoshan who looked unhappy, although the others felt that something seemed to be wrong, they did not raise any other objections in the end.

The auction begins.

The note with 1 written on it was held up. Jin Sheng glanced at the finger that Xu Zhiyan stretched out seemingly unintentionally on the podium, and took the lead in bidding 100.

Li Zuoshan probably didn't expect the other party to offer such a high price at the beginning, and shouted angrily: "110!"

"120." Jin Sheng seemed not to see Li Zuoshan's expression and directly raised the price.

"130! Brother, I don't think you have to fight for Class 1. You look more like a student and it won't be difficult for you to fit in. I'll grant you a favor if you stop." Li Zuoshan advised.

He had been through several dungeons and was well aware of the abnormality of this game. For something with rankings, the gap between the previous and the next was unimaginable.

Judging from what happened last night, it’s hard to say whether the worst student in the class is a real person!

He would never go to the back classes!

"140." However, Jin Sheng remained unmoved.

“…150!”

Li Zuoshan gritted his teeth and shouted out one hundred and fifty. He ran around with two NPCs for the whole night yesterday and only earned two hundred yuan. Now it is his limit!

According to his guess, the other party should only have about two hundred yuan.

Sure enough, Jin Sheng took a look at the podium and gave up bidding.

"I don't want it. I don't have much money on me and I need to keep some for backup."

Just when Li Zuoshan breathed a sigh of relief, a sweet voice appeared, making the situation at the scene full of tension again.

"I want to go to class 1, too! 160!"

Li Zuoshan never expected that Yao Xianxian, who always looked well-behaved, would suddenly raise the price at this time. He turned around and stared at this ungrateful woman, gritting his teeth and raising the price.

"170, Yao Xianxian, you are amazing."

"Thank you for the compliment~180!"

"190... Forget it, I don't want it!" Li Zuoshan finally stopped and handed over the note from Class 1.

Yao Xianxian jumped and ran to the podium, almost sticking to Xu Zhiyan. With the comparison, everyone realized that this seemingly weak beauty was actually quite tall, actually a little taller than Xu Zhiyan.

"The door is over there."

However, Xu Zhiyan himself was calm. He took the money, solemnly stuffed the note into Yao Xianxian's hand, and pointed at the door to signal her to leave quickly.

"Huh? So cold?" Yao Xianxian took the note, and seeing that the other party didn't seem to want to talk to her anymore, she could only pout in boredom and walked away, looking back every few steps.

In the blink of an eye, there were only four people left in the classroom.

Xu Zhiyan picked up the note from Class 3, but before he could announce the start, Li Zuoshan spoke first and said to Jin Shengdao beside him.

"100, give me this spot. It's only Class 3 anyway, not as good as Class 1, and not that far behind Class 6. If it's over 100, it won't be worth it."

Jin Sheng didn't say anything. He just looked at Li Zuoshan, then at Xu Zhiyan on the podium, and spoke in a low voice.

"130, you take it."

"make a deal!"

Xu Zhiyan curled the corners of his mouth, shook the note in his hand, turned around and asked Tan An.

"130, do you want to raise the price?"

Tan An didn't expect the other party to ask him. He shook his head and took out 50 yuan from his pocket, saying hesitantly: "I, I only have 50 yuan, I don't want it."

The second class note deal was completed.

Li Zuoshan threw the money on the table, took the note and left, as if he didn't want to stay in the classroom any longer.

Then, there were only three people left.

Xu Zhiyan collected the money on the podium and said happily, "It's more than I thought."

It was indeed beyond his plan that Yao Xianxian jumped out to raise the price, but this kind of accident was not unpleasant.

Just as he was about to throw the remaining three slips of paper into the lottery bucket, Tan An finally couldn't bear it anymore and started begging.

"Can you please give me Class 6? Please."

"You are all stronger than me. If I were to be drawn into the last two classes, I would definitely die. You can't just stand by and watch me die!"

The boy with glasses started crying as he spoke.

He had begged the NPC parents in the same way last night, and he felt very uncomfortable when he saw the monster adopted son.

"Give me Class 6, then I will get less money. I only need 50!" Tan An said this, as if he felt that he had paid a lot and was justified.

Xu Zhiyan kept smiling, stroking his chin and asked in confusion: "Moral kidnapping? Is it tied to my head?"

Even Jin Sheng, who has always been a bit taciturn, couldn't help but sneer: "If you follow your teammates' method, you can only get 9 or 10."

As for dividing the money, that is even more nonsense.

But Xu Zhiyan was not angry.

He picked out the note with '6' written on it, walked down from the podium, leaned against the desk in front of Tan An, and opened his black-gloved palm.

"Fifty bucks, and the sixth shift is yours."

"But I only have fifty dollars in total! You are robbing me!" Tan An couldn't help but retort.

"Then draw lots and divide the money."

Xu Zhiyan didn't intend to indulge the other party and proposed another plan.

Unfortunately, Tan An got emotional and acted like a rogue.

"No! If I get picked from the last two classes, I'll really die!"

"You have to help me... I know you are different from Li Zuoshan and Yao Xianxian! You——"

The sound stopped abruptly.

Xu Zhiyan's smile disappeared along with his patience, and a bone-cutting knife appeared in his hand, with the sharp blade against Tan An's neck.

"Choose one of the two. Don't talk nonsense."

Finally, Tan An tremblingly threw down fifty yuan and ran out of the door with the note from Class 6.

An auction livened up the atmosphere in the live broadcast room again.

[Little Million activates skill: Take it! ]

[Hahaha! Damn, I’m really impressed! ]

[You bid on NPC's things as if they were your own. Can't others see that?! ]

[Is there a possibility that he never said the money belonged to him from the beginning to the end]

[The above person knows that the money came in on its own and has nothing to do with Xiao Million, right? ]

[If I were the dog trainer, I would be crying right now. ]

Xu Zhiyan counted the spoils again, a total of 360 pieces.

Jin Sheng, standing aside, asked anxiously, "Are the last two classes really okay?" Just now, Xu Zhiyan passed by him before going to the podium and asked him to increase the price by looking at the gesture. After a brief thought, he did as he was told.

“If you get the front class, you’ll be in trouble.”

Xu Zhiyan selected one hundred and eighty yuan and stuffed it into Jin Sheng's pocket along with a piece of paper with the number '9' written on it. Without Jin Sheng's absolute trust in him, it would have been difficult to force Li Zuoshan to surrender so easily.

"Hmm?" Jin Sheng held the note with a face full of question marks.

"The class in front is full of good kids. If we are caught stealing a dog, we will be killed by the lawful ones." Xu Zhiyan gave Jin Sheng a look that showed concern for a fool.

Jin Sheng finally reacted.

The captain of the guard once said that the students in Class 10 do not abide by the school rules, which means that players who enter Class 10 do not have to follow the school rules either. At least they will not die if caught.

Opportunities and risks coexist.

Stealing a dog...

I didn't expect that the other person, who was obviously terrified of dogs, actually remembered his own dog.

Jin Sheng lowered his head in silence, his heart in turmoil.

"Stop being in a daze and get ready to go to the next location." Xu Zhiyan had no interest in Jin Sheng's fragile and sensitive emotions.

The classroom was very dry. He searched for a while but couldn't find any useful supplies. He could only put away the map with disgust and asked Jin Sheng to leave.

Outside the Student Activities Center.

Xu Zhiyan and Jin Sheng did not rush in. They waited until Yao Xianxian and Tan An left before coming out from the alley.

Xu Zhiyan said: "Stay away from that Yao Xianxian."

Jin Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and replied: "You also see the problem?"

"Well, his hands are very big, and many places are covered with thin calluses. They are man's hands." Xu Zhiyan explained casually.

It's obvious that she trains regularly, but she still pretends to be a woman. I don't think she is a good person.

However, he didn't expect that Jin Sheng also noticed that there was something wrong with the other party.

"How do you know there's something wrong with him? Not bad!"

If Xu Zhiyan had not been close when passing the note, he would not have been able to guarantee that he could see it clearly. So, do dog-type players have any special way of identifying them?

Jin Sheng hesitated for a moment and said what he felt was wrong.

"…He is taller than you."

Compared to this so-called fragile beautiful girl, his new teammates looked smaller and more fragile.

"???"

Xu Zhiyan racked his brains but couldn't figure out this was the reason, and his blood pressure instantly shot up.
