Teacher Ding wanted to ask where Xing Ye's video came from, why there was suddenly a new teammate, and whether she was trustworthy.
Before he could ask any questions, Xing Ye found the hidden file in the memory card and played it. Teacher Ding didn't have a chance to speak again. He could only watch the video patiently and say anything else after he had watched it.
The picture shook at first, and the face of the male teacher living in Room 404 appeared in front of the camera. He adjusted the camera position, laughed twice, and left.
Only after he walked away did the three of them see the scene blocked by the male teacher's body. This was a changing room.
"It's the girls' locker room," Teacher Ding said. "Physical education classes are divided into boys and girls, and girls go to this room to change into their gym clothes before class. That male teacher is now the head teacher of the senior year, and he actually took secret photos in the girls' locker room. It's completely unethical."
"Yeah, it would be great if everyone thought like Teacher Ding." Xing Ye echoed his words.
Cao Qian glanced at Xing Ye, and as usual remained indifferent, concentrating on watching the video.
There was no one in the locker room now, so Xing Ye adjusted the playback speed to 16 times. Half an hour into the video, a girl finally appeared.
She was wearing a tracksuit but gloves. She used her key to open a locker, took out a watch, and put it in another unlocked locker. Then she locked the locker, put the key and the watch together, and quietly left the locker room.
Another five minutes later, a group of girls came back chattering. Just as they were about to change their clothes, a very bright-looking girl asked in confusion, "Where's my locker key?"
"Why did you lock the closet when you were changing clothes?" her companion asked.
"It was my birthday yesterday, and my dad gave me a Patek Philippe watch, which cost several million. I accidentally brought it to school and locked the cabinet when I changed clothes." said the bright girl.
Even if she is rich, she will be unhappy if she loses the watch she just got and hasn't shown off enough.
"You accidentally dropped it while running in physical education class, right? Don't change your clothes, let's go look for it." said her companion.
Then the video became noisy. In the midst of the noise, another equally beautiful but seemingly less confident girl opened her locker, and her watch and keys fell out.
The bright and beautiful girl picked up the watch and slapped the pretty girl hard: "How dare you steal my things? Do you know how many years of sentence you will get if this thing is filed?"
"I, I didn't..." The beautiful girl looked at a loss, her big eyes full of tears, as if they could speak.
Strictly speaking, her beauty is on par with that of bright and beautiful girls, but superficial men may appreciate this kind of adorable beauty like a little white rabbit more, and cannot accept girls with too strong aura.
There was another fight, and finally the teacher arrived and took everyone away. The video ended there.
Girl A entered the locker room when no one was there, and used a key she got from somewhere to put girl B's watch into girl C's locker. What she did was too obvious. She framed C and could stay out of it.
The teacher who knew the truth could have told it out loud, but he couldn't bear the accusation of peeping at girls changing clothes, so he chose to remain silent.
"Do you remember what these girls look like?" Xing Ye asked.
"Easy to remember, they are all very beautiful." Cao Qian nodded.
Teacher Ding also nodded.
Xing Ye: "I think girls B and C are dead, but girl A is still alive."
Maybe he is in Class 3 of Grade 3 and will soon graduate from the college entrance examination.
"I can go to the Political Education Department to check. I'm a teacher and my authority is higher than that of students," said Teacher Ding.
Xing Ye glanced at him, quickly found the faces of the three girls in the video, took screenshots, opened the web version of the WeChat account on his computer, sent the pictures to the group, and wrote: Within an hour, I want to know all the information of these three girls. The information fee is 10,000 yuan per person. If anyone knows them but dares not say it, bring the person to me. The specific address will be arranged separately. Whoever brings the insider can get a reward of 5,000 yuan.
Teacher Ding: "…"
Xing Ye: "We just have to wait. I think someone will contact me in less than half an hour. But before that, I have to buy a new phone. The computer is too inconvenient."
Cao Qian: "…"
"What's wrong with your cell phone?" asked Teacher Ding.
"He accidentally fell down." Xing Ye pulled Teacher Ding to look downstairs.
Teacher Ding's legs and feet immediately went weak, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He waved his hands and said, "No, no, I'm really afraid of heights. I can't look down. You're too careless. Your phone is so important. It would be inconvenient if it fell."
"It's okay, I'll buy one." Xing Ye said nonchalantly, "If the school doesn't have one for sale, I'll buy one from a classmate. I'm sure there are many people willing to sell it to me."
Teacher Ding thought of the message Xing Ye had just sent, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and nodded, "That's right. If my phone wasn't useful, I would have sold it to you too."
Xing Ye immediately understood that Teacher Ding knew that the broken phone was okay, so he said, "Teacher Ding, since there's no one on the rooftop right now, let's exchange some basic information so we can collaborate on the battle.
I'm sorry for lying to you yesterday. I'm always wary of people, and I wanted to act impressive. Actually, I'm not a high-level player, but a novice. Cao Qian and I are both players who just came out of the novice world and are fighting against fate.
"Huh?" Teacher Ding was stunned. "Then can we three newcomers do it?"
"The remaining four seem to be veteran players. We fought one of them yesterday and killed her, exhausting my only two QR codes and all of Cao Qian's special abilities. That person is Teacher Li from our class. She has over 30,000 points and is very powerful, but she's not invincible. As long as we're well prepared, there's still hope." Xing Ye said, "So I want to see your QR code so we can make a plan for the remaining three."
"Teacher Li?" Teacher Ding thought for a moment. "I heard today that our sophomore English teacher resigned. Your class is looking for a new homeroom teacher, and the math teacher is temporarily acting as homeroom teacher. It turns out she's a player, and you killed her, which is why she suddenly resigned..."
It seems that the system will automatically provide remedial measures after a fight between players, so no police came after Teacher Li died, and Cao Qian also looked like she didn't care.
But when ordinary people are killed, it's a different situation.
"For the sake of mutual trust, I decided to let everyone see each other's basic information, Cao Qian." Xing Ye winked at Cao Qian, asking her to demonstrate her abilities first.
Cao Qian still remembered that Xing Ye said yesterday that he didn't trust people like Teacher Ding who gave gifts to show their affection when they met. Why is he doing that now...
She remembered what Xing Ye said, that she should think about it herself. She thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. However, she still obediently showed the message on her phone.
"Cao Qian, Fate-Defying faction, 1100 points, almost 1000. The 100 points consumed are used to maintain the effects of the two initial skills, Infinite Strength and Agility. There's no special QR code, only a 100-shot rifle with ten bullets with a 100% hit rate. Four have already been used, leaving 20 bullets with a 50% hit rate. I don't think they'll hit in my hands, so they can basically be considered ineffective. I was the one who killed player Li Hong. This is her death message."
Cao Qian is a down-to-earth person. Xing Ye asked her to speak, and she spoke without reservation. The same was true of the information displayed on the mobile phone interface. When Teacher Ding saw Cao Qian's penniless appearance, his face twisted.
Xing Ye then introduced himself: "Xing Ye, 200 points. I haven't used any of my initial skills. My skills are incredibly long legs and a long breath, which seem to be jumping and breath-holding abilities, but they're useless. The only QR code I have is the one you gave me earlier, and I've already used it up."
He lied without blinking and frantically clicked on the bracelet. After clicking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so he asked Cao Qian: "How does the bracelet display personal information to others?"
"The bracelet can't work, only the mobile phone can. You should buy a mobile phone as soon as possible." Cao Qian said.
Xing Ye said to Teacher Ding, "Teacher Ding, we've shown our utmost sincerity. If you want to join forces with us, let us see your information. If you're not willing, our alliance is over. Cao Qian and I will try to find another QR code on campus. We still have a day, so we should be able to...find one, right? We can't be left with nothing, right?"
"You definitely won't find it," Cao Qian said coldly. "What misunderstanding do you have about your luck? You think you can find a piece of paper that's so well hidden in such a large campus?"
Teacher Ding looked very unhappy. He was willing to team up with Xing Ye before because he pretended to be very powerful. Now he knows that he has nothing. No one would be happy.
"If you're willing to join me, Mr. Ding, I promise I'll protect you with my life," Xing Ye said. "Although we've had some bad luck, you've seen our strength. We can defeat a high-level player like Li Hong. Just give us the special QR code ability, and we can do it!
It seems Di Kuang has also gotten a lot of clues, but it doesn't matter, we have a lot of people. Di Kuang has three people now, and we also have three people. If we plan to defeat them alone, we can win."
Combined with Xing Ye's sixteen-year-old face, these words sounded particularly childish and passionate.
Teacher Ding was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Xing Ye and said, "I'd be crazy to team up with you two losers! I actually thought you were a high-level player and wasted a QR code to get to know you. Who do you think you are? With just this little information, you still want to cheat me of my personal abilities, points, and QR code information? Dream on!"
After saying that, he ran to the stairs and went down, fearing that he would be caught up if he ran too slowly.
The change of attitude happened so quickly that people couldn't react, and Cao Qian was still standing there.
Xing Ye did not chase Teacher Ding, but continued to send messages on the web version of WeChat on the computer: I want a new mobile phone, rooftop, no matter how much the phone costs, as long as it is 80% new, I will buy it for 10,000 yuan, and whoever delivers the phone first will get the money.
Cao Qian: "…"
"Have you figured it out?" Xing Ye asked.
Cao Qian thought about it and said, "My personal information is clear at a glance. Even if I don't tell it to someone, they'll be able to tell it. It doesn't matter if I tell him. This way, I can see the character of a teammate and avoid being attacked from all sides."
Xing Ye said with satisfaction, "That's quite right, but there are two more points. First, I told the other team's leader that Di Kuang was, and emphasized that Di Kuang's team was far stronger than ours and had clues. Teacher Ding believed he had seen the faces of the three girls, and could use our personal information and data as a token of his allegiance to Di Kuang, just like when he used the QR code to show his goodwill to me. Second, I didn't give him my real initial skill information, so that he could confuse the other team first, so that Di Kuang would let down his guard against me.
Although he refused to become our teammate, he helped us infiltrate the enemy and sent us false information that could change the outcome of the battle, so he did contribute a bit."
Xing Ye was indeed testing Teacher Ding, but if Teacher Ding chose to join forces with them when they had nothing, then he would really be a gentleman as he appeared to be, and Xing Ye could put his back on Teacher Ding.
Unfortunately he is not.
Xing Ye sighed, "I really hope he's a person who is consistent in what he says and does. I know my actions are despicable, but in a game like this, I can't have someone who might be a hypocrite on our team."
Cao Qian seemed to want to say something. She opened her mouth, but the last thing she asked was, "Are your initial skills good enough to influence the outcome of the battle?"
"If I'm not mistaken about the true use of the skill, then yes," Xing Ye admitted.
