Survival Difficulty: Level 3
[Unsafe] [Unstable] [Few Entities]
Leon walked through the deep corridor, vaguely hearing the roar of machines in his ears. He didn't pay attention to it, but as he went deeper, the roar of various machines became clearer and clearer.
Suddenly, the sound reached a critical point, and Leon felt the surrounding environment change. When he turned his head again, the path he had come from had disappeared, replaced by a tunnel that also seemed to have no end.
"That was quite sudden…"
Leon stretched out his hand and touched the thick pipe beside him, a smile appearing on his face.
Various pipes, equipment, and even some machines were piled up in the already small space, greatly restricting one's movement.
The incandescent lights overhead were crooked and unsightly, and the light was extremely dim.
Staying in such a depressing and chaotic environment for a long time can easily lead to mental problems.
"So many pipes, it really has to be here…"
No monsters would spawn in the Main World, which Leon felt was a pity, but he could craft a large number of Iron Golems to make up for this regret.
"It's almost dawn now. Let Conan and Eric rest first, and then we'll explore tonight."
He stretched out his hand and summoned the teleportation wooden door again. As soon as he returned, he heard Eric's concerned inquiry: "You didn't encounter any danger, did You?"
"It's nothing."
Leon looked back and, sure enough, a new wooden door appeared again on the fog-composed wall. He took out a Sign from his backpack and affixed it above the wooden door, writing "level 2" on it.
"Let's go, Conan, I'll send You back first."
…
At the entrance of Ekoda High School in Nakano Ward, Tokyo.
Warm sunlight spilled from the sky. Looking at the High school students full of youthful vigor inside the school, Leon suppressed the urge to whistle.
He kept comforting himself internally, saying: 'These are still children under eighteen… But then again, is it okay for all of them to look so mature when they're under eighteen? These short skirts are shorter than the last… Also, will I ever transmigrate into some fan fiction with explicit content in the future?'
'Highschool of the Dead would be great…'
Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, Conan, who was beside him, tugged at his sleeve and said, "The High school won't let us in easily…"
"Who told You we had to go through the main entrance?"
Although High schools in Japanese anime seem to be easily accessible to anyone, it's clearly unscientific in reality.
He led Conan towards the other side of Ekoda High School's wall, easily finding a suitable spot to jump into the school.
"See? We're in, aren't we? There were no roads in the world to begin with, but when enough people walk, a road is formed naturally."
Conan: "…"
"Although I'm not very familiar with ancient Chinese sayings, I feel like this sentence shouldn't be used this way."
Leon and Conan walked towards the teaching building, talking as they went: "That's why You can't understand the essence of ancient Chinese sayings. Let me ask You, have You heard of 'Lunyu'?"
Minecraft perfectly translated the meaning of the words.
"Lunyu? Shouldn't it be Master Confucius's Analects?"
"No, no, no, what You're talking about is the words of a sage, what I'm talking about is the way of dealing with the world. These are two different things!"
Just then, a High school student with long purple hair appeared before them, expressionlessly blocking their path.
"You must not disturb Kuai Dou's life, otherwise misfortune will befall You…"
Her wine-red eyes were full of caution. She had divined Conan's arrival but had not divined Leon's existence at all.
"Xiaoquan Hongzi?"
Leon looked at the beautiful High school student in front of him and stated his guess, after all, there was still a gap between animation and reality.
"That's right, who are You?"
A smile played on Leon's lips. With an aggressive gaze, he took two steps forward, stopping less than half a meter in front of Xiaoquan Hongzi.
"Xiaoquan Hongzi, the last heir of Red Magic… Who gave You the courage to stand in front of a warrior?"
As his voice fell, a stone sword was already pressed against Xiaoquan Hongzi's abdomen, directly flicking open the button on her clothes at the abdomen.
How could the arrogant Xiaoquan Hongzi have ever been subjected to such a threat? Immediately, a powerful force erupted from her body, and crimson magic surged around her.
Her lips moved slightly, as if she was muttering something.
"Ah, as expected, her combat experience is too poor. Magic that can't be cast instantly is unqualified."
Bang…
He chopped Xiaoquan Hongzi on the neck with a hand knife, but contrary to Leon's imagination, Xiaoquan Hongzi did not faint, she was merely interrupted in her spellcasting.
"Huh? She didn't faint? Could it be that I didn't use enough force?"
He raised his hand again and struck with more force.
Xiaoquan Hongzi was directly knocked to the ground by the powerful force, letting out a painful wail.
"You…"
Conan, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch anymore and said, "Mr. Leon, You're hitting the wrong spot. You could break her neck and it still wouldn't knock her out."
"Also, we've already attracted attention."
Leon looked up and saw that people had already noticed their situation, and a few even walked over.
"You can teach me sometime!"
Saying that, he bent down and directly helped Xiaoquan Hongzi up, putting on a concerned expression and saying, "Hongzi, are You alright? Do You need me to take You to the infirmary?"
Then he whispered, "I know You don't care about these ordinary classmates whom You deem worthless, but I don't think You'd want me to cause any bloody violence in the school, would You, Hongzi?"
Xiaoquan Hongzi's face flushed red, wanting to break free from Leon's arm, but she was a mage who specialized in spirit and intelligence, not a Gandalf who specialized in strength and stamina.
She only felt that Leon's arm was like an iron clamp, and she had no way to break free at all.
"You… what exactly do You want to do?"
"Heh heh, I don't think Hongzi would want Kuai Dou to lose his freedom and be thrown into prison, would she?"
At this moment, the students in the distance also ran over, asking with great concern, "Hongzi, are You alright?"
"Hey, You're not from our school, are You? Quickly let go of Hongzi."
"Hongzi, I'll take You to the infirmary right now."
Leon looked at this circle of sycophants and only felt that the hormones of High school students were really strong. He subtly tightened his arm, signaling Xiaoquan Hongzi to resolve the matter.
Xiaoquan Hongzi didn't want Kuai Dou's identity to be exposed, as he would surely be arrested. She reluctantly said, "I… I'm fine, I just have a bit of low blood sugar. I'll be fine after resting for a while. You all leave first, I have something to discuss with my friend."
Her words were very convincing. The few men in their rut obediently turned and left. Leon also released his arm at the appropriate time, looking at Xiaoquan Hongzi and teasing, "Hongzi's charm is truly effective…"
"I think that has a lot to do with the magic on You… Let's go, take me to see Kuai Dou… Of course, Nakamori Aoko is fine too."
Upon contact, the world's exploration value increased again. Although it was not as much as what main characters in Conan provided, it was still much stronger than those minor characters who only appeared in one or two episodes.
"If You dare to harm Kuai Dou, I, in the name of a witch, will surely make You suffer."
Leon looked at the girl, who was no older than eighteen, and shook his head, saying, "Remember not to threaten people You don't understand. Now I've decided, because of your one sentence, I'm going to double the hush money."
"Ah? You're just going to ask Kuai Dou for money?"
Xiaoquan Hongzi, as the last remaining heir of a witch family, expressed, "What is money? Is it enough for her to buy materials for two magic potions?"
