The straightforward words left Xia Leng speechless for a moment.

But she had to admit that she was somewhat happy.

Out of habit, Xia Leng typed "Oh" and was about to send it when she hesitated, thought for a moment, deleted it, and changed it to two different words.

Qing Chi: "Okay."

Gu Chi glanced at it and chose not to reply.

Xia Leng didn't say anything either.

Both of them tacitly understood that there was no need for further conversation.

One wanted to pretend not to know who the other person was, and the other didn't need to chat.

At least not now.

Xia Leng added Gu Chi as a friend today, just to find a suitable time to add him, nothing more.

It didn't matter whether they talked or not, as long as Gu Chi was on her friends list.

When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

...

The time came to Tuesday.

As expected, Tuesday was followed by Friday.

Time already passed quickly, and now it seemed even faster.

The abnormal events that occurred in Yunhai City last week had spread completely. There were too many people taking videos, and the spread was too fast to delete them all.

The relevant departments had to resort to the same old tricks and try again.

But it didn't work this time.

An expert named He Yongcan claimed, "This is a major breakthrough by our country's scientists in high-tech weapons. We fired a shot to celebrate."

Netizens: "I don't believe it unless you fire a shot for me too."

That was indeed impossible.

Coupled with three consecutive time jumps, the people of the country had reason to believe that the times had changed!

Whether spiritual energy would recover or not was temporarily unimportant. How it changed was also unimportant. What was important was that from now on, there might never be a Wednesday or Thursday again.

Having two days off in a five-day workweek, after living for so many years, there had never been such a prosperous holiday.

The most excited group were the students.

The amount of coursework was almost halved, and they didn't have to worry about salaries like the working class. What a heavenly day it was!

They wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing!

Some people were so excited that they went to the official website of the Ministry of Education and left a message: "Family, I'm so happy!"

The leader of the Ministry of Education personally replied: "You're happy too early."

At 9:00 am that day, major universities and schools sent out the notice they had received long ago.

"Starting from this week, if Wednesday and Thursday are skipped, the courses will be adjusted to Saturday and Sunday."

"If Wednesday and Thursday exist as usual, the courses will remain the same, and Saturday and Sunday will continue to follow the Wednesday and Thursday schedule to prepare for the next time jump."

Students: "???"

Even before entering society, they already understood what it meant to mix in and eventually pay the price.

Gu Chi was actually one of the victims as well.

As a teacher, he couldn't escape from teaching when students had classes.

Fortunately, he didn't have many classes, so he treated it as a daily walk.

After returning home, he and Xia Ling would find a simple book in the game library to brush together, balancing work and rest. They lived a comfortable life.

Players could be said to be the most stable and comfortable group in the current environment.

Being players represented being transcendent. No matter what happened in the real world, no one would be too surprised.

Now there was also the anniversary celebration preheating event, which was the time when the rewards for brushing books were the highest. They didn't even have time to care about these things.

The only thing to pay attention to was the recruitment time.

Especially for players below level 20.

Gu Chi felt like it hadn't been long since the last time, and now he had to enter a dungeon again.

This time, he planned to bring Xia Ling and Dr. Chen together and see if they could enter the same dungeon.

Mechanically speaking, the strength gap between players matched in a game wouldn't be too big. It was like "Eyes of Time and Space," where all the players were below level 20.

But occasionally, there would be a situation where a king would enter a bronze match.

The more people in the dungeon, the higher the chance of a king entering.

In "Rising in Northern Rivers," Xia Ling and Li Tianque were examples of this.

Another Friday arrived.

Gu Chi and Xia Ling completed a C-level dungeon: "Golden Miner."

As soon as they came out of the dungeon, Xia Ling rushed into the bathroom, complaining non-stop, "What a trash dungeon, it actually made us go mining..."

"It's about immersion," Gu Chi laughed. He didn't mind these things. As long as he could get skill fragments, it was fine.

Gu Chi sat down on a chair, listening to the sound of the girl showering, and opened his friends list.

[Main Doctor, Friendship Level: 0, Current Status: Online]

Since adding Dr. Chen as a friend last time, he hadn't talked to him yet, mainly because he was afraid of disturbing Dr. Chen's social death.

Now that it had been so long, there shouldn't be a problem.

Gu Chi poked him, "Are you there?"

Dr. Chen: "Not here."

Gu Chi curiously asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Dr. Chen: "It's all your fault."

Gu Chi: "..."

How did it become my fault?

Dr. Chen: "What do you think?"

After they parted ways that night, he entered a dungeon called "Witch's Prayer" the next day.

It was an A-level difficulty, a piece of cake for him.

He had already cleared many S-level dungeons, so Dr. Chen naturally didn't care about this dungeon.

Dr. Chen was someone who knew how to play. On one hand, it was personal ability, and on the other hand, it was the way he played the game.

He wanted to get rewards, but he also wanted to enjoy playing.

For A-level dungeons like this, the focus was not on clearing them, but on scoring, achievements, causing trouble, and seeking solace for the soul.However, the boss of "Witch's Prayer" was extremely cunning, pretending to be a passerby witch to seduce him.

He fell for it without realizing.

In the extreme rush, he comforted and pranked simultaneously, pulling out the "Unstable Magic Potion" from his backpack and stuffing it into the witch's cherry-like mouth.

Unexpectedly, the witch also grabbed him and gave him a French kiss.

Dr. Chen was careless, and the situation at the time did not allow him to dodge.

So he turned into the appearance that Gu Chi had seen before.

The prank backfired on himself, and Dr. Chen's mentality was somewhat collapsed.

The "Unstable Magic Potion" is a player's item, and its effect will not disappear after leaving the instance, which means that the "Gender Alteration" BUFF he randomly triggered will last for a full two months...

The "Gender Restoration Potion" in the store is priced at 6666 old coins.

Dr. Chen could afford it, but it hurt his heart!

That's enough to buy a pound of rice.

Moreover, the price carries a hint of mockery, which makes Dr. Chen even less willing to buy it.

Perhaps he was gradually getting used to it, or perhaps he was becoming braver, Dr. Chen finally decided to endure it, and he would be a man again in sixty days!

Anyway, non-players wouldn't think of this, it's no harm to be a woman for once.

It was quiet and somewhat thrilling.

Until Gu Chi came to him.

The thrill turned into a scare.

Dr. Chen didn't understand: "What are you doing in a mental hospital if you're fine?"

Gu Chi: "I'm worried about you, why didn't you answer the phone?"

Dr. Chen: "..."

Dare he answer?

He couldn't send a message to Gu Chi not to come, that would make Gu Chi come faster.

Gu Chi comforted: "It's okay, it's all in the past, I'll pretend I never saw it, you're still that Chen Tiantian."

Dr. Chen: "?"

Gu Chi: "Date?"

Dr. Chen: "/Angry, I'm a tough guy!"

Gu Chi: "I mean to recruit."

Dr. Chen: "Oh, that's okay."

Just in time, he wanted to take this opportunity to tell Gu Chi that he really is a tough guy!
