Yan Qing swallowed hard, his voice uncertain. "I think I know where that Red Card is!"
Tan Ming immediately thought of the same thing.
"Where?" Qi Qiuluo asked, and all eyes turned to him.
Yan Qing mentioned an address, one that everyone was familiar with.
The building.
But suddenly, the sky darkened again.
As night fell, visibility decreased, and the Mutated Plants concealed themselves in the shadows, lurking like ghosts, making it difficult to guard against them.
Searching now would be extremely dangerous, and personal safety would be hard to guarantee.
"Let's wait until morning," Tan Ming said. "We only have one option left: the King. This card isn’t really important; it doesn’t matter who has it. What matters is that we will definitely kill. Finding this card will undoubtedly confirm that our direction is correct."
Everyone agreed with what he said.
They were eager to find the murderer, not to meet their end.
As night deepened, the temperature began to drop sharply. They lit some dry grass and gathered around the campfire.
Those from the Agricultural College began to return one by one, driven back by the darkness, making their way back to the square.
In the square, flickering lights danced like stars, and everyone formed different circles around the fire.
Thinking that this might be their last night together, regardless of what tomorrow would bring—life or death—the hardships and fears of these days would eventually fade away. It was a rare moment of relaxation for everyone.
Qi Qiuluo suddenly had a whimsical thought and asked them, "How did you all find your Red Cards?"
"The tool room behind the stadium," Master Ban said.
"Behind Nanshang," Zhang Liu added.
"I found mine under the dormitory," Yan Qing chimed in.
"In the library, in the woods behind the dormitory," Tan Ming said.
"Damn it, mine was the most cliché—I found it on my roommate's bed!"
Qi Qiuluo looked at him mischievously. "On your roommate's bed? What were you doing there?"
What are you thinking? My roommate is outside, and he called me to help him find something on his bed. Who would have thought that halfway through the call, the signal dropped, and the system activated? No one is more unfortunate than I am! He originally planned to go fishing off-campus that day, but just after nine in the morning, he had his fishing gear ready and was about to leave when that guy Wang Chong intercepted him.
"Xiaonan, just forget it. Your skills are so poor. If you lend me your fishing gear, who knows, we might strike it rich!"
Fan Xiaonan curiously asked him, "Strike it rich with what?"
Wang Chong patted his shoulder and said mysteriously, "Do you know who invited me to go fishing?"
"Who?" Fan Xiaonan asked, intrigued.
Wang Chong leaned in closer and whispered, "A big star! I've done my homework; his team needs an operations manager and two assistants. If we can get close to him, finding a job after graduation will be a piece of cake!"
Fan Xiaonan was momentarily dazzled by Wang Chong's words and thought it sounded plausible, so he lent him the fishing gear. The more he thought about it, the more unlucky he felt.
If Wang Chong had gone fishing that day, what system? It wouldn't have involved him at all!
That guy Wang Chong is such a scammer! Who knows how he’s scheming?
The more Fan Xiaonan thought about it, the more he felt cheated. He even believed that with Wang Chong's cleverness, he wouldn't even mention Fan Xiaonan's name to the big star. All this talk about jobs was just nonsense!
He regretted letting Wang Chong scam him out of the chance to meet a big star. What a loss! Fan Xiaonan sighed.
"A big star?" Qi Qiuluo looked at him in surprise. "You know a big star?"
He chuckled and replied, "I thought only Yan Qing knew big stars." As he said this, he put his arm around Yan Qing's shoulder and joked, "We've been through thick and thin together. After the system ends, if we're still alive, you must talk to the big star for me. There's a talented young actor from the performance department—good looks and talent—Qi Qiuluo! Help me get an introduction to the big shot; I'm counting on you!"
