154: It’s just a dream, so enjoy it!

Lin Chuan showed no abnormality, immediately accepted his new appearance, and walked towards Class 12, Senior Three, with his school bag.

However—

Good heavens, at this time, it was exactly class time!

Class 12, Senior Three, was on the third floor.

Lin Chuan walked up to the third floor, taking the opportunity to look around.

He found that on every floor, whether it was the teachers' offices or the students' classrooms, the scenes inside were almost the same as before the apocalypse!

In the offices, some teachers were chatting idly, while others were grading homework.

In the classrooms, some students were listening attentively, some were daydreaming, and some of the underachievers in the back rows were secretly playing on their phones.

These scenes...

It was as if the apocalypse had never happened in this world, and everything was still as it was in peacetime!

This made Lin Chuan feel a little suspicious deep down—

Could it be that the Dream Pillow was messing with his mind?

It was precisely because of his distrust of the Dream Pillow that Lin Chuan simply took it out again for a look.

Because he was in the secret realm, he no longer had his visual enhancement Talent, but at this time, the sky was bright and the light was sufficient, so he could still distinguish that there were no patterns on the Dream Pillow.

Lin Chuan was just about to put the Dream Pillow back into his space when he heard a voice in his mind—

“Ding! Player's points are below -1000! You will be obliterated within three seconds! Do you wish to use a secret realm exemption card?”

???

Good heavens, I just looked at a pillow, and I'm already dead?

Since he was in a dream, Lin Chuan did not use the secret realm exemption card.

The result was that he died in the dream, and then woke up.

This was consistent with what Lin Chuan knew about the Dream Pillow's abilities.

According to his understanding in his previous life, players could wake up directly if they died in a dream.

But if you thought you were in a dream, but you were actually in reality.

Then, in order to wake up, you killed yourself...

Heh heh, that would be hilarious!

Therefore, when using the Dream Pillow, distinguishing between dream and reality was extremely important!

After waking up, Lin Chuan pondered for a moment, then repeated the same dream.

This time, he once again plunged into the secret realm and became “Yi Boyang.”

This time, he found the way to the Senior Three teaching building, appearing to be very familiar with it.

During the process of going upstairs, he no longer visited other classes or teachers' offices.

Taking out the Dream Pillow, such a foolish act that directly led to his death, of course, he would not do again.

He safely walked all the way to Class 12, Senior Three.

Inside, there were about forty-two desks.

But there were as many as five or six desks that were empty!

The middle-aged man by the podium, who should have been a “brilliantly bald” math teacher, had thinning hair, a standard Mediterranean hairline.

Lin Chuan thought for a moment, then, in a low voice befitting his current image, he called out “Report” at the door.

The Mediterranean-haired teacher glanced at him and casually waved him in.

The meaning was probably for him to go directly back to his seat and sit down for class.

This teacher seemed quite nice; he neither asked why he was late nor criticized him, and then immediately continued to focus on teaching.

However, Lin Chuan was a bit flustered!

He already roughly knew that this secret realm was a role-playing game.

But the frustrating thing was that he had no memory of “Yi Boyang,” the character he was playing!

He had no idea where his seat was!

If nothing unexpected happened, once he sat in the wrong place, his life would be in danger!

It was very likely that, just like taking out the Dream Pillow in public earlier, his points would directly drop below negative one thousand, and he would be obliterated by the secret realm's rules!

But constantly hesitating at the door also seemed a bit abnormal!

Lin Chuan thought for a moment and simply found an empty seat in the back row to sit down.

As expected, it happened!

Not long after he sat down, the familiar prompt sounded in his mind!

This time, he simply used the secret realm exemption card.

Anyway, something used in a dream would not disappear in reality.

After using the secret realm exemption card, Lin Chuan was sent out of the secret realm and returned to the entrance of No. 1 High School.

He barely hesitated before plunging into the secret realm again.

This time, he found that his appearance had changed.

He was no longer wearing a school uniform, but a black T-shirt and black pants, topped with a black baseball cap.

Both the T-shirt and the black cap were printed with white skulls.

He also wore metal accessories around his neck, and his overall image resembled that of an idle hooligan.

This hooligan had no school bag or student ID, but he did have a phone!

Lin Chuan walked into the school while looking at his phone.

As a result, the gatekeeper stopped him loudly: “Hey! You, you, you! Which class are you in? It's bad enough you're late, but why aren't you wearing your school uniform or carrying your school bag? Show me your student ID!”

After two previous deaths, Lin Chuan had vaguely guessed—

His two deaths: once for publicly taking out the Dream Pillow from his space, and once for sitting in the wrong seat.

And the -1000 points when he was obliterated was also a hint.

He clearly hadn't done anything, yet his points had directly dropped to negative one thousand.

It was not difficult to deduce that the points in this secret realm should be increased or decreased through actions.

In other words, violating character logic would deduct points.

If points dropped below negative one thousand, he would be obliterated.

So, were there any rules that could increase points?

Lin Chuan thought a lot.

At the same time, the gatekeeper was still urging him to show his student ID.

He thought for a moment and decided to conduct an experiment—

Following the gatekeeper into the gatekeeper's office, Lin Chuan said in a slouchy manner, “Isn't it just a student ID? Just take it out.”

As he spoke, he took out the Dream Pillow from his space right in front of the gatekeeper!

This move was quite sudden!

The gatekeeper was completely stunned, saying in shock, “Good heavens, where did you pull out such a big thing? Performing magic???!”

After speaking, he cursed again, “Good heavens! I told you to get your student ID! What do you mean by giving me a pillow?!”

The gatekeeper seemed very angry, but Lin Chuan smiled!

Because he discovered the key point!

Earlier, when he was going upstairs, he took out the Dream Pillow while observing the offices and classrooms.

At that time, he died directly.

Now he took out the Dream Pillow again, but he didn't die.

The reason was simple—

When Lin Chuan took out the Dream Pillow then, many people saw it.

Teachers in the offices, students in the classrooms...

Including the second time he played Yi Boyang and sat in the wrong seat, it was also in front of a classroom full of students.

So, both of those times, he died.

But now, only one gatekeeper saw him take out the Dream Pillow.

Perhaps his points decreased, but they did not drop below negative one thousand.

So, he survived.

Understanding this, Lin Chuan's smile became a bit warped.

The gatekeeper looked at his smile, feeling a bit unnerved, and his voice was no longer as high-pitched and righteous as before, instead trembling slightly: “You, you, you, what are you laughing at? What's so funny...”

While his voice trembled, he tightened his grip on the walkie-talkie clipped to his waist.

Lin Chuan was quick, snatching the walkie-talkie from his waist.

With a single squeeze, the walkie-talkie instantly shattered into pieces!

Then, he closed the door to the gatekeeper's office.

The landline phone on the desk was also violently destroyed by him.

He grabbed the gatekeeper, pressed him onto the desk, choked his neck, and said with a gentle smile, “Now, tell me the rules of the secret realm that you know, otherwise, die!”

Lin Chuan was actually a little worried that he would be obliterated by the secret realm rules the next second after making such a threat.

But fortunately, he wasn't.
