Green Burn Middle School Student Code of Conduct
1. During class, you must listen attentively and obey all the teacher's instructions. This is crucial for your safety.
2. All the green plants in the school are artificial. If you find real green plants or see a classmate bringing a green plant to school, please tell your homeroom teacher immediately.
3. Violence is prohibited on campus. Please do not engage in physical conflict with anyone. If you encounter violence, try to get to a teacher's office for help.
4. School hours are 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Please do not linger in the school building outside of these hours.
5. The school does not have a cafeteria and does not provide lunch. If you need to buy anything, please go to the school store, and make sure the shopkeeper doesn't have a potted plant on the windowsill.

The student code of conduct was a long list of more than a dozen articles, which made Yin Zhu's temples throb.
No wonder some chosen ones fail even after passing several dungeons. This is too bizarre. It directly bombards people's memory with a massive number of rules. Who can remember so many rules?
Yin Zhu couldn't help but rub her temples.
This was her first time entering the world of rules, but it was already the fourth instance of the Dragon Kingdom Challenge. The later instances would only get more and more difficult, giving her no chance to start from scratch.
The school bell rang suddenly, and the other students quickly returned to their seats, making Yin Zhu a little scared as she followed suit.
Forget it, I'll just memorize as much as I can.
Why hasn't the government given us any warnings yet? Didn't they say each country has three warning opportunities per instance? They should at least be clearing out potential problems!
Yin Zhu sat back down in her seat, full of doubts.
...
"...We can only let her have her own luck." An Zhi, the leader of the think tank, shook his head. "We've already used our three reminder opportunities on the previous three chosen ones. Hopefully, Yin Zhu can survive until the end of this instance."
Han Jiuying, the member to An Zhi's left, looked at the notes in her hand: "Since we can't help her much, let's summarize the current information about the dungeon. If the Chosen One fails again this time, we'll only have one last chance."
"The [Green] element is key to this instance; the school and [Green] are opposing forces."
"Green is afraid of fire, or perhaps it is afraid of high temperatures, which can be seen from the name of Green Burning Middle School."
"The chosen one from the Lighthouse Nation left home on the fourth day to go to school, and then the screen remained black until he successfully completed the game. We can't see what happened in between. But what's certain is that the key to completing the game must be in the school," Han Jiuying reminded.
“But the fact that the strange thing caused the live stream to go black means that something happened that they don’t want others to see.” Another member of the think tank sitting opposite him, Di Jia, retorted, “Don’t forget that the last time this happened was when Ji Liao encountered this situation. He encountered this situation at the end of the third dungeon and refused to say anything after he came out. This time, he was also in a low mood during the fourth dungeon and died inexplicably because he violated the rules. He didn’t leave any experience for the later chosen ones.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent, with only the teacher's voice coming from the live broadcast screen.
After a long silence, An Zhi broke the deathly stillness: "That's right, other chosen ones with different talents might break the rules, but Ji Liao shouldn't make such a basic mistake—his talent is a silver talent: Fire Stealer, which allows him to see directly through the true rules hidden beneath the surface. This talent helped him progress smoothly into the fourth dungeon after entering the second one. He couldn't be fooled by appearances, and he certainly shouldn't violate a rule that guarantees his death."
The entire conference room fell silent once again.
"...Could it be that our chosen one was replaced when the screen went black?" A member of the think tank suddenly asked in a low voice, voicing the question that everyone was thinking but dared not say.
"Impossible. Such behind-the-scenes manipulation is unfair to the competition," Han Jiuying objected.
“Fairness applies to those who have the right to resist, while we are helpless even when faced with unfairness. Don’t forget, this ‘competition’ is essentially more like a ‘game’ used by a higher plane to pass the time, isn’t it?” Zhang Mingyu, who had remained silent in the meeting room, poured cold water on the situation with a cold face.
Seeing the tense atmosphere in the meeting room again, the secretary smiled and eased the bad atmosphere with a gentle voice: "Shouldn't we be discussing how to clear the 'Green House' dungeon now? If we can't even get past the hurdle in front of us, let alone how to resist the unspeakable things behind it."
“We now know that this world of rules revolves around two places: school and home. Going out alone will directly violate the rules. The chosen one of the Peacock Kingdom was mysteriously attacked on his way home. So if we want to ensure our safety when traveling, we must travel with the natives.” When it came to work-related issues, Han Jiuying reverted to her usual formulaic demeanor.
“That’s not all,” Di Jia added, while simultaneously projecting a video of a failed challenge from the Canadian country.
In the scene, the chosen one from Maple Leaf Country is leading a girl home. The wind blows the girl's hair, revealing the back of her fair neck, which is now covered with green moss. The next second, the wind stops, and the girl's unusual area is once again covered by her golden hair.
The chosen one from Maple Leaf Country had no idea that the girl he was holding was the source of death, and continued to chat and laugh with her as if she were his best friend.
Suddenly, several clumps of viscous green matter crawled out of the sewer and approached the chosen ones of Maple Leaf Country.
"What! I clearly followed the rules!"
The chosen one from Maple Leaf Kingdom was filled with terror and confusion. She had once used her talent to resist a fatal attack, so she was no stranger to these monsters. Because of this, she couldn't understand why she had been judged to have violated the rules.
The next second, the monsters pounced on the chosen one of the Maple Leaf Kingdom, engulfing her. Accompanied by a shrill scream, the screen went completely black, and the word "GAME OVER" slowly appeared, flowing with red liquid, seemingly mocking every viewer.
"Look here." Di Jia switched the time to the scene of the monster attack and zoomed in on the area next to it: "At this time, the native has been infected by [Green]. The rules determine that she is not human, so the chosen one of Maple Leaf Country is essentially alone and has been punished by the rules."
"People infected with the [Green] look no different from ordinary people, but they will constantly induce players to break the rules."
In the picture, the girl who originally seemed cheerful suddenly revealed a ferocious and greedy smile the moment she witnessed her friend being attacked by a monster.
