146 The Director's Gift
◎First place in player rankings◎
"Bang!"
The only door was slammed shut. "Want to leave?" Fifth Sister pressed the door with one hand. "No one can leave until we make things clear today!"
Sang Mian and the other two shuddered. The current situation was very bad! Although fighting was not allowed in the player lobby, there were only six people in the room, and no one would know if a fight broke out.
Sang Mian deeply understood the truth that those who are in awe of the times are the most capable. She smiled at her fifth sister and said, "Actually, we were just talking nonsense just now. Seniors, please don't take it to heart. We just came to the game, what can we know?"
Bai Tang and Xia Qing nodded like chicks pecking at rice: "Yes, yes! We know nothing!"
The fifth sister smiled gently but spoke ruthlessly, "Do you think San San and Fourth Brother are idiots? You want to leave without saying anything? How can this be possible?"
San San: “…”
Fourth brother: “…” Why do I feel like I’m being scolded?
"Ahem." The fourth brother coughed twice and said, "Xiaowu, don't scare the little girl. Don't be afraid, we just want to know whether buying [Reality] can help us leave the game. If it really can't, is the news true?"
Sang Mian glanced at the few people. From their looks, they said they couldn't leave today, and they couldn't expose Lin Buchi. She rolled her eyes and said, "The director of the Weird Management Bureau told me this. It's up to you whether you believe it or not."
"Director?" San San took a breath and looked at Sang Mian with an even weirder look. "You even know the director? What's your relationship with him?"
"He has something to ask me for help." Sang Mian said confidently.
San San sneered: "Director of the Weird Management Bureau, beg you? What can he ask you for? Aren't you just an ordinary player?"
The fifth sister had a complicated expression: "Yeah, I don't believe it either."
Sang Mian had a blank expression on his face: "That's my private matter, you can believe it or not."
"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!"
A quick cell phone ring rang in Sang Mian's pocket. It was an unfamiliar number.
"Excuse me, I have to take a call first." Sang Mian clicked the connection button, "Hello, who is this?"
"It's me."
Speak of the devil and he will appear. Sang Mian was slightly surprised: "Director? How do you have my phone number?"
The others' ears pricked up.
The director said, "You go to Xiyue University to handle the handover formalities. Principal Fan has resigned, and he recommended you to be the president of Xiyue University. He has a good eye, and I agree."
Sang Mian was getting such great news, she thought it was too outrageous, "Director, you are kidding! I want to be the principal?"
The director smiled deeply and said, "Yes, this is also a gift from me to you in advance. I remember that your guile value is still a little short. How do you like it?"
Sang Mian was so happy that he almost jumped up on the spot: "I like it! I'll go over and prepare the handover procedures right away!"
Although the phone was not equipped with an external speaker, the five people present could hear the entire call clearly.
“…”
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
The slap in the face came so quickly, they witnessed this incredible scene with their own eyes.
Even the usually steady Fourth Brother was jealous. Why? How could he become the principal in the blink of an eye? Is it necessary for the gap between people to be so big?
Xia Qing raised his eyebrows at the three people proudly: "How is it? Do you believe it now? Let us go quickly, we are in a hurry to hand over the school procedures."
It took the fifth sister several minutes to calm down. She stopped the three of them and said, "Wait, if [reality] cannot leave the game, then I want to go to the next dungeon with you. I haven't been to a dungeon in a long time."
Sang Mian wanted to refuse. She was nervous about playing a dungeon with unfamiliar players, fearing that they would trip her up.
The fifth sister raised her eyebrows: "Why? You still despise me? Ask around, who doesn't know your fifth sister's strength?"
Sang Mian said slowly: "Forget it..."
The fifth sister crossed her arms and said, "If you don't agree, I won't let you go out today."
Xia Qing was furious: "How can you force me to buy or sell like this! If you want to download the dungeon, just download it yourself. Why are you pestering us?"
"Xiaowu, you are too strong in your words. You are so old but you still can't change your bad habits." The fourth brother quickly pushed the fifth sister to her seat, and then explained to Sangmian and the other two, "Xiaowu didn't mean that."
"If possible, I would also like to go to the dungeon with you. Think about it, Xiaowu and I both have high levels of guile, so at least we won't hold you back, right?" The fourth brother said in a kindly manner, "Don't worry, we won't help Sansan. If we are in the same group as Sansan, why would we set up our own guild?"
Sang Mian was silent. Why was he feeling a little moved?
The next copy is more difficult, and there is a gamble involved, so she must take Tangtang and Xiaoqing with her. If she has strong teammates joining her, her survival rate will definitely increase significantly.
"I need to think about it." Sang Mian still did not agree. She wanted to discuss this matter with Xiaoqing and Tangtang alone.
The fourth brother nodded: "Okay, then leave a phone number."
San San angrily slammed the table and said, "Do you guys think I'm dead?"
Xiao Wu was slightly stunned, then he said sincerely: "You are overthinking it again. We don't treat you as a human being at all."
After exchanging numbers, Sang Mian and the other two finally left the casino and headed for Xiyue High School.
After hailing a taxi, the three of them got in quickly.
"Passengers, please fasten your seat belts and do not stick your arms, head, legs or other body parts out of the window. Our company will not be responsible for any accidents." The driver said the reminder in a serious tone and started the car.
"That's a creepy thing to say. Who would stick their head out there for no reason?" Xia Qing commented.
Bai Tang: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. We'll be arriving at Xiyue High School soon! So excited!"
"Shit! The principal of Xiyue High School is named Fan!" Sang Mian suddenly recalled the call from the director: "Could he be Fan Li?"
Xia Qing: "To sum up, it is very likely."
"No wonder he didn't dare to deliver the things himself, it turns out he is that scumbag." Bai Tang stroked his chin and analyzed: "He must have known that Mian Mian had delivered the things before he resigned."
Sang Mian didn't understand, "Why?"
Bai Tang: "It's a pity, maybe the reason why he became the principal was for this matter." She paused: "But why did he recommend Mianmian to be the principal? Are you two familiar with each other?"
“Not familiar.” Sang Mian was also confused: “It was strange that I received the call. It might be related to the director. He said it was a gift for me in advance.”
"I don't know why, but I always feel like things are going too smoothly." Bai Tang frowned and thought deeply, "It seems like... the director is deliberately helping you accumulate Weird Qi points, and he's even more attentive than you are."
"Really..." Sang Mian wiped his face, "But the director and I are really not familiar with each other, and we didn't know each other before. Why should he help me?"
Xia Qing was more open-minded. She leaned back in her chair and said lazily, "Who cares? I'd rather give away the Gui Qi points for free than waste them."
Sang Mian thought so too. The increase in her strangeness value would not do her any harm. Instead, it would be beneficial to her in the next copy.
After getting off the car, the three of them walked to the principal's office with ease. Principal Fan was already waiting for them inside.
There was a handover procedure on the table. The three of them read it carefully and confirmed that there were no problems. Then Sang Mian signed it.
Principal Fan still looked as if he was a sage, but there was a hint of decadence about him.
After watching Xi Shi's life, Sang Mian and the other two really have no good impression of Principal Fan. Their current impression of Principal Fan is that he is an irresponsible scumbag who is not worthy of Xi Shi at all.
"Has she…forgiven me?"
As the three of them turned to leave, Principal Fan said in a hoarse voice.
Sang Mian turned back slightly: "She has no obligation to forgive you. You know better than me why her heart fell into your hands. You made her restless even after her death."
"...That's not the case." Principal Fan's lips trembled. "I couldn't do anything about the punishment of cutting out the heart. The situation at that time..."
Bai Tang interrupted him and said angrily: "Enough! If you are not wrong, why don't you dare to see her yourself? You didn't hurt us, and we don't want to hear your explanation!"
After saying that, she took Sang Mian and Xia Qing away from Xiyue High School.
After walking away, she took a deep breath: "There's no need to say too much to him. He should live in guilt and regret for the rest of his life!"
There should be zero tolerance for scumbag behavior. Why should we forgive him? Besides, Xishi already has her own new life. There is no need to recall the past and forgive a dead scumbag.
As women of the new era, Sang Mian and the other two had surprisingly consistent ideas and kept nodding their heads.
After saying all this in one breath, Bai Tang felt much better. She asked Sang Mian, "Did the Weird Aura value increase?"
Sang Mian said obediently: "Yes, I have 92 points of Gui Qi now."
Xia Qingxing's eyes were full of stars: "Wow! Sister Sang, how do you feel now? Is there a force operating in your Dantian?"
"Do you think I'm cultivating immortality?" Sang Mian felt it for a moment and said honestly, "Not much has changed, but I can clearly feel that I've become stronger. I'm not afraid of monsters with lower Weirdness Aura than me."
Xia Qing became more confident. She laughed and said, "Then what are we afraid of in the next instance? Sister Sang is so strong that she can definitely protect us! It will be easy to win the bet."

In the following time, Sang Mian and the other two went to the Weird Theater and modified the ending of the script "The Secret History of Xi Shi" before returning to the Player Guild.
As for the fourth brother and fifth sister, the three of them discussed and decided to take them to the dungeon. After all, their strength was there, and it would only be beneficial for them to pass the dungeon.
After making up his mind, Sang Mian called his fourth brother.
"Ding-ling-ling...Ding-ling-ling..."
After the phone rang, the fourth brother's steady voice came from the phone.
"Is it President Sang? Have you thought it through?"
Sang Mian: "Yes, I agree to take you to the dungeon, but let me be frank. If you try to harm us in the dungeon, we will not show mercy."
She now has the highest level of weirdness in the player guild, so she has every reason to say this.
“Why, do Fifth Sister and I look like bad guys?” The four of them smiled honestly, “Don’t worry, only that idiot San San wants to revive the evil god. Fifth Sister and I have no such idea at all.”
Sang Mian said cautiously, "It is said that resurrecting the evil god can grant unlimited wishes? Aren't you tempted?"
The fourth brother said meaningfully on the other end of the phone: "There is no free lunch in the world. We have to give everything, even our lives, for a wish, let alone unlimited wishes?"
Sang Mian had a complicated expression. Yes, everyone understood such a simple truth, except for San San, the leader of the Eternal Night Cult, who was stubborn and refused to change his mind.
"San San... has his own difficulties." The fourth brother sighed: "Let's not talk about him anymore. When do you plan to go to the dungeon?"
Sang Mian thought for a moment and said, "Maybe three days later."
Fourth Brother: "Don't you need to rest for a few more days?"
Sang Mian wondered: "Isn't three days enough time to rest?"
Fourth brother: “…” He looked at his old arms and legs, feeling bitter in his heart. Young people are in good health.
After hanging up the phone, Sang Mian lay comfortably in the chair and chatted with Xia Qing and Bai Tang, completely unaware that the player lobby had become a complete mess.
*
Three hours ago, 080369's Gui Qi value was 82 points. Three hours later, it suddenly soared by 10 points and became the number one on the list of all players.
"Fuck! Am I dazzled?" A player rubbed his eyes and said, "92 points! 080369! A living boss!"
The player lobby fell silent instantly. One has to know that the weird game has been active till now, and the number of players whose weirdness value can reach 90 points can be counted on one's fingers.
In the past ten years, there has not been a player with a Weirdness value of 90 points or above.
"The Weirdness Points of 080369 has become 92 points?"
"Stop talking. I want to meet President Sang now! No one can stop me today!"
Everyone went from doubting Sang Mian to admiring him, and they all jumped to the No Coriander Guild, which led to the presidents of the other three guilds finding that their homes had been robbed when they returned home.
When San San was discussing the next countermeasures with the doctor, he noticed a commotion in the guild. He pushed open the door of the meeting room and saw a mess.
San San was rarely confused, "No... Where are the members of our guild?"
