[Congratulations, host, on completing a Class C special mission.]
[Sang Yi's plan has been completely foiled and cannot continue. Rewards will now be distributed...]
[The host will be rewarded with 30 points to all attributes...]
[A special talent rewarded: Seven Apertures...]
[The Seven Apertures Talent has been activated. Within a hundred meters, there is potential danger that can be detected immediately...]
[Special Talent Seven Apertures can currently be used once to transfer to another person's body. Host, would you like to use it...?]

"Luo Chen, are you alright?"
Lu Wanqing observed carefully, and when she asked the question, her tone was much softer.
"I'm fine."
Luo Chen shook his head slightly.
The system notification that the task was completed surprised him, and he couldn't accept it for a while, which is why his emotions were so obvious.
But he did not forget the function of the seven orifices.
Although Raphael's situation isn't too serious, having seven orifices can help prevent some unexpected incidents.
"Really...is everything alright?"
Lu Wanqing asked with continued concern, "If there's anything I can do to help, you can tell me."
"Really, no."
Luo Chen smiled and then changed the subject, saying, "What you need to do most right now is to prepare well and win the championship tonight. Don't worry about anything else, there won't be any problems."
"..."
Lu Wanqing pursed her lips. These words sounded like she was trying to comfort him, but since Luo Chen didn't want to say it, she couldn't force him to.
The two did not continue the discussion.
Lu Wanqing glanced outside. Although a lot of people had gathered there to watch the commotion, no one knew exactly what had happened.
The inspectors have arrived, but after questioning them, they found no leads whatsoever.
Lu Wanqing and Luo Chen stood in a corner watching, and it wasn't until quite a while later that Lu Wanqing finally turned her attention to Luo Chen.
"I will try my best in tonight's match, and I will definitely win the championship to show you."
"Um."
Luo Chen nodded indifferently. He knew whether Lu Wanqing could win the championship. Without those little tricks, the championship was not hers, but who else could it be?
Lu Wanqing was silent for a moment, then her face flushed slightly, as if she had mustered up her courage, and she asked seriously, "Then... will you come to watch?"
She would be happy if she actually won the championship, but she would be even happier to share that moment with others.
If this person is Luo Chen, then... this championship has meaning.
"..."
Luo Chen didn't speak, but looked at Lu Wanqing, seeing her slightly shy eyes, and then looking away shyly.
Luo Chen paused for a moment before speaking, "If I have enough time, I will go and see it."
"Even if I'm not there, if you win the championship, I'll be happy for you in another place."
"..."
Lu Wanqing was somewhat disappointed; she didn't really want to hear those words.
However, she also understood that Luo Chen had important matters to attend to, and it would be wrong to only consider her own feelings and want Luo Chen to come over.
"Hmm...I understand."
After saying this, the atmosphere between the two became somewhat awkward.
Nobody knew how to continue the conversation.
If it weren't for a phone call from Lu Wanqing's assistant urging her to go back quickly...
This atmosphere will likely continue for a long time.
"Then I'll head back now."
Lu Wanqing spoke first, and Luo Chen nodded before turning to leave.
Seeing the departing figure, Lu Wanqing subconsciously said, "Wait..."
"Um?"
Luo Chen stopped what he was doing, turned his head, and looked puzzled.
Lu Wanqing bit her lip, then looked at him gently, and said softly, "Keep it up."
Luo Chen was taken aback for a moment, not quite understanding, but still replied, "You keep it up too."
"Um……"
[...]
On the other side.
Wolf Fang sat in the car, waiting for Luo Chen to get in.
Luo Chen sat in the back seat, somewhat silent.
Wolf Fang noticed through the rearview mirror that Luo Chen's mood was off, but he didn't ask.
Although he is now following Luo Chen, he is not truly subservient.
The main reason is that Luo Chen is stronger than him, and he also sees what he wants in Luo Chen.
The black sedan sat quietly by the roadside. Luo Chen didn't say anything about setting off, and Wolf Fang didn't act on its own.
Everything was done according to Luo Chen's orders.
Afterwards.
Luo Chen sighed, as if he had come to terms with it.
Although he did regard Sang Yi as a formidable opponent, he was still the protagonist's strategist, possessing near-demonic intelligence.
From the very beginning of the story, Luo Chen encountered his opponent and never let his guard down, constantly thinking about how to deal with the conspiracy set up by Sang Yi.
Although there was an element of chance involved, they undoubtedly managed to break many of the plans set up by Sang Yi.
I thought Sang Yi would be hiding something, but I didn't expect that.
With Raphael replacing Lu Wanqing and being taken away, this C-level special mission was completed.
I also received the 30-point bonus to all attributes.
I've also acquired the special talent of the Seven Apertures.
He was just a hair's breadth away from reaching the Grandmaster level.
Even if the protagonist Ye Feng returns, Luo Chen doesn't need to worry about not being a match for him.
But... there was always a sense of melancholy in his heart.
It felt like something was blocking my way, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
I used to think that some people's battles of wits and courage were quite exciting, but when it came to him, it all became like air...
Who the hell can I reason with?
He finally got serious this time, but he won so decisively!
Of course, Luo Chen didn't want to be tortured. It was just that he had prepared so much, but found that he couldn't use any of it, which made him feel uncomfortable.
But there's no point in dwelling on these things now, since things have already come to this.
Then we'll just have to clean up some of the loose ends.
[...]
"How's the situation with Raphael?"
Having regained his composure, Luo Chen finally asked Lang Ya about the matter, explaining that he had previously entrusted Lang Ya with handling it.
"Zhu Dachang, the leader of the Azure Dragon Society, has already gone there, but the person you need to keep an eye on doesn't seem to have shown up."
Wolf Fang placed his hands on the steering wheel, his eyes fixed straight ahead. He was completely unfamiliar with the name Sang Yi and had no idea who he was.
If Luo Chen hadn't specifically instructed them to keep an eye on this person, Wolf Fang wouldn't have even considered focusing their attention on Sang Yi.
Unfortunately, despite the perfect plan, Sang Yi still did not appear.
"It's not a big problem."
Luo Chen nodded calmly. It was expected that Sang Yi would not appear. That guy preferred to cause trouble behind the scenes rather than stand on the front lines and show his face. He probably only took action when he had no other choice regarding the power outage at Tianlai.
Although Sang Yi's location is still unknown, Luo Chen believes that he will be able to find out the location from Zhu Dachang.
So whether Sang Yi went or not doesn't matter much.
Luo Chen's main purpose was not there.
"Since Zhu Dachang has already gone there, let's go and take a look too."
"good."
Wolf Fang gave a brief reply and then fell silent.
I started the vehicle and drove there following the location.
