Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Too Much Deception (Seeking Likes, Collection, and Reading List)

Li Changhe pondered for a moment; going to Jiushan Temple to deliver a letter could also work.

At present, he had enough self-protection capabilities.

If anything unexpected happened, Li Changhe could use the [Indomitable Ride of the Hundred Tigers] to shake off people and summon horses. It wouldn’t be a problem for him to run. If anyone wanted to help [Unseen Red Dust], as long as that person wasn’t a [Player], Li Changhe wouldn’t be in any real danger.

Although [Unseen Red Dust] had technically died at Li Changhe’s hands, the [Task Item] he left behind had tremendously benefited Li Changhe. It was a trivial matter to help him fulfill a wish along the way.

What Li Changhe was afraid of was being dragged into a [Instance Task] by entering a temple.

[Players] were most concerned about this, as [Tasks] could be triggered under any circumstances. Li Changhe had read in the [forum] about a person going on a trip and triggering seven [Tasks] in a row.

Some people could even trigger [Tasks] by reading in a library.

The [Evolution Game] could be quite fickle indeed.

Perhaps he should discuss this with He Feng and the others.

At that moment, Li Changhe suddenly felt a chill.

"It’s [Player] this time," Yun Ting’s voice echoed in his mind.

Li Changhe’s expression slightly changed, as his biggest concern had arrived.

In Yanyun Middle School, besides the known He Feng and Xiao Nan, there were also [Players]. Now, with the [Elf’s Prayer] on him, it might cause some suspicion.

Without turning back, Li Changhe continued his training routine.

Initially, Li Changhe wanted to approach those [Players].

He wanted to see if he could obtain some useful information from them.

However, after hearing He Feng say that some of them were not good people and that He Feng had previously had a brief conflict with one of them in a [Reality Task], Li Changhe changed his mind. Afterward, he was chased by two other [Players].

Fortunately, at the time, their identities were well hidden, and their [Player nicknames] hadn’t been exposed, so they weren’t discovered.

Li Changhe snorted coldly. Chasing He Feng, huh?

That eliminated the possibility of cooperation. It would be great if they didn’t fight when they met, so it was just better not to see each other.

If they triggered a [Confrontation Task], it would be hard for Li Changhe to intervene.

[Great Wall] was recently aggressively attacking the [Sun Halo], and they were conducting very strict investigations on any suspected [Player] incidents.

As [Earth Knight] said, he had been chased out of Yanyun by [Great Wall] just for completing an [Instant Task].

It was only through [Friends] and [Xiaojunzi]’s explanation that [Great Wall] didn’t continue the pursuit. Since [Earth Knight] was a [Player] who had done favors for [Great Wall], they turned a blind eye to him.

After all, [Earth Knight] had protected Xiao Nan and [Special Ability Holder] before, so he was considered trustworthy to the overprotective [Great Wall].

As for the other [Players], they weren’t so lucky. They had to hide carefully, fearing that they would trigger [Instant Tasks] or [Reality Tasks] nearby.

At this time, it would be foolish to have a conflict with the students of Yanyun Middle School. Xiao Nan wouldn’t even be able to help cover for them.

Meanwhile, someone whispered in the shadows, "Is it him?"

"There’s no evidence at the moment, but he looks somewhat similar to the person we saw at the art gallery. Shall we ask Mr. All-known to investigate? As a fellow Player, he should give us some face."

"Hmph, that fat guy has deep connections. We’d better not make contact. Li Changhe...suddenly becoming so dazzling has a high possibility of being a [Player]. He must have suddenly acquired some kind of [Status]." Someone whispered, "Does he have any close friends? Let’s stick to our old method to test him."

"He...has two very good friends. He Feng from Senior Three Class Five and Xiao Nan from Senior Three Class Seven."

"Xiao Nan? The class flower?" Someone snickered, "It seems like whether Li Changhe is a [Player] or not, we have to meet Xiao Nan. I heard she’s very arrogant. She even refused Ye Ming’s invitation. I wonder if she can stay arrogant in face of a [Player]."

"Indeed, if Li Changhe is a [Player], we can kidnap Xiao Nan to coerce her. A girl would be relatively easier to deal with. My [Skill] is perfect for threatening people. If he isn’t, just erase her memory. Don’t hurt her life."

"Before erasing her memory, maybe we can play some other tricks." Someone chuckled maliciously.

Yanyun was a densely populated area with [Players]. Before, Li Changhe had complained about feeling like there were [Players] all over the streets of Yanyun. Groups like [Great Wall] and [Sun Halo] aside, there were also many scattered individuals.

It was estimated that once they all sensed each other as potential Players, they could even form a couple of mahjong tables.

Xiao Nan’s answer was that there might be a big event happening in Yanyun recently, so many [Players] were gathering in the area. Actually, the harpy that Li Changhe encountered was also attracted to Yanyun.

The more [Players], the more the [Evolution Game] would show off. In every field, experts with high-end skills were chosen as [Players].

Compared to Li Changhe, who had killed other [Players] to take their qualifications, their circumstances were of higher status.

Of course, the number of [Players] in Yanyun has now decreased a lot due to the fear of [Great Wall]. Those who remained either escaped or hid quietly.

But there were exceptions.

To give an example, these students of Yanyun, who, after becoming [Players], quickly formed a group and observed those in school who they suspected to be [Players]. If they found someone, they would use friends as a threat, forcing others to join them.

This time, Li Changhe’s behavior caught their attention. They planned to secretly test him. If he was a [Player], they would use his friends to force him to join. If he wasn’t, then they would use [Equipment] to erase his memory, as if nothing had ever happened.

And [Great Wall] wouldn’t find out.

They had also targeted Xiao Nan, as, compared to He Feng, Xiao Nan, a soft and weak girl, would be easier to control. Of course, some had even more sinister thoughts.

Li Changhe was completely unaware of all this until Yun Ting informed him that those people had left. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

...

At the coffee shop outside the school,

Xiao Nan and a group of girls talked and laughed. The young and beautiful girls formed a pleasing sight.

However, if Li Changhe were here, he would see that Xiao Nan was in a terrible mood.

Her thumb and index finger were rubbing unconsciously, as if kneading sand. This was actually Xiao Nan’s unconscious gesture when she was in a bad mood.

If Li Changhe saw Xiao Nan’s movement, he would first gasp and then ask with a serious face, "Who upset you? I’ll help you get even!"

As long as he wasn’t the one who angered her, Li Changhe wouldn’t mind retaliating against others. If it was him... Li Changhe would ride his bike and flee.

Xiao Nan was indeed feeling irritated now.

After Yang Dong got injured, [Great Wall] assigned a female [Player] to protect Xiao Nan. The woman was somewhat related to Xiao Nan, being something like a distant cousin.

But she was very lenient and always tried to lecture Xiao Nan. Xiao Nan felt that she was simply complaining about her ex-boyfriend. Anyway, her words all conveyed that men were no good.

The home front was also not peaceful. Xiao Nan’s parents were not [Players] and didn’t know about [Great Wall]’s existence.

Due to Xiao Nan’s situation, they were unknowingly transferred to a safe place to work. They probably had too much free time and suddenly started to care about their daughter’s emotional life.

Alright... the first two issues were relatively minor.

But when these girls kept talking about Li Changhe, Xiao Nan felt like she was about to lose her patience.

Enough was enough!
