19: Big breasts, no brains

That Tyrant Zombie was some distance away, wandering around on the ground, not even noticing the battle happening downstairs where Gu Qinghan was.

However, Gu Qinghan heard the commotion over there; this might be related to him obtaining the Necromancer class.

After all, he could now clearly feel that some of his sensory abilities were much stronger than before.

"Let's not provoke that Tyrant Zombie for now; after all, there are still many zombies around."

Gu Qinghan thought silently to himself. He had only been able to kill ten Tyrant Zombies before by ganging up on them.

But in the current situation, if he really let the Tyrant Zombie join the fight, it would definitely be his skeletons that got ganged up on.

Tian Tian also discovered the Tyrant Zombie over there at this moment. A look of shock appeared in her eyes as she asked: "What is that? A new type of zombie?"

"Yeah, don't worry about it. Let's talk about it tomorrow during the day."

He simply recalled his skeletons and had them keep watch in the classroom.

Afterwards, Gu Qinghan took out a bottle of mineral water, washed up briefly, and handed one bottle each to the other two.

"Go to sleep. You shouldn't be leveling up either; it wouldn't be good if you attracted some dangerous guys over."

Gu Qinghan gave a word of advice, then pulled the curtains shut, pushed a few desks together, and lay down on them.

The classroom was pitch black, with only the green flames in the eye sockets of the seven skeletons flickering, quiet and eerie.

...

Early the next morning, Gu Qinghan got up early.

Although he had slept through the night, lying on the hard tabletop left his whole body aching.

"It's time to leave here first. I need to find a safe house where I can at least sleep before considering anything else."

He could now use Vision of the Dead. As long as he found a safe place, he could basically accomplish many things without leaving the house.

Tian Tian and the other person were also sleeping soundly on the desks. Although Gu Qinghan's skeletons were terrifying, they brought them a lot of security.

Of course, what they didn't know was that Gu Qinghan's skeletons weren't just for defending against outside dangers.

If the two of them had made any moves against Gu Qinghan during the night, those seven skeletons would have immediately executed them with thunderous force!

"Oh right, it seems I also obtained a chest yesterday."

Gu Qinghan suddenly remembered something and quickly took the wooden chest emitting a white light out of his necromantic space.

[Open Common Treasure Chest?]

Gu Qinghan didn't hesitate at all and chose to open it directly.

As the wooden chest opened automatically, a faint white light appeared and then slowly faded away.

Finally, the wooden chest vanished into thin air from Gu Qinghan's hands, but it paused for a moment before revealing its contents.

In that instant, Gu Qinghan felt a fluctuation ripple through his body.

The Pioneer's skill effect had activated again!

He saw the ball of light in his hand slowly dissipate, revealing the item inside.

It was a pitch-black ring; surprisingly, it was a piece of equipment.

[Ring of Contemplation: Level 3]

[Effect: Stores overflowing mana, up to a maximum of 50 points.]

Gu Qinghan raised an eyebrow and immediately put the item on his hand.

This piece of equipment didn't provide any combat stat bonuses, but for Gu Qinghan, it was quite good.

After all, the extra mana storage provided by this ring would allow him to use Vision of the Dead for nearly another half hour.

Or in other words, he could use Death Rattle Summon twice more.

After doing all this, Gu Qinghan began to think about where he should go.

He didn't know the school very well. For one, he was only in his second year after enrolling, and he hadn't wandered around the school much.

Secondly, their school was simply too huge.

The teaching building he was currently in was only in Area B of the school, and this single area alone was comparable to a large commercial district.

However, that was just in terms of area; in fact, Area B was often referred to by the school's students as the "slums."

Because the architectural facilities in this area were relatively simple, and aside from attending classes, basically no one would come here to hang out.

"It might be more dangerous outside the school. I'll develop my strength within the school first, and then go out and venture forth."

Gu Qinghan made up his mind and took a look at the floor in passing.

It seemed as if his gaze pierced through the floor, seeing Li Qingshan below.

The sound of footsteps came from the corridor. Gu Qinghan was taken aback and immediately realized that a survivor from upstairs was coming down.

He looked at the skeletons beside him, put away four of them, and left only three to guard him.

Although Tian Tian and the other person already knew he had seven skeletons, the people upstairs didn't know that.

Keeping a backup plan for himself was the first thing Gu Qinghan had learned in his nearly ten years of living on his own.

"Hello, the zombies on this floor..."

A voluptuous and beautiful figure appeared at the doorway. After seeing the situation inside the room, she couldn't help but ask.

Gu Qinghan took a look and saw that it was actually the teacher, Han Jingjing, from before.

"We killed them all."

He couldn't be bothered to explain too much and simply replied concisely.

Although Han Jingjing had anticipated it, hearing these words come directly from Gu Qinghan's mouth, she still found it hard to believe.

She looked at the clean floor around her, filled with a trace of disbelief: "So many zombies... then where are their corpses?"

"They were taken away by a rift."

Gu Qinghan originally didn't want to pay any attention to this teacher, but he suddenly thought that she might know some things he didn't, and he immediately became interested.

He jumped off the table, walked in front of Han Jingjing, and asked: "Teacher, I have a question for you."

Han Jingjing took two steps back, looking at Gu Qinghan with a hint of fear in her eyes.

It was an instinctive fear of the strong.

Dozens of them were stuck upstairs waiting for an opportunity, yet these three people had managed to kill all the zombies.

"You... go ahead and ask..."

"In our school, where is there a relatively safe place to live?"

He asked the question he most wanted to know; he needed to find a safe house for his future operations.

Han Jingjing frowned slightly, thought for a few seconds, and then said: "A safe place? Can there be any safe places right now?"

"Just a place that you thought had good conditions before this game started will do."

Gu Qinghan smiled. He saw a glimmer of possibility in her expression.

Sure enough, Han Jingjing hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, the facilities in the school are all about the same; they don't have much defensive capability. However, I heard a while ago that the small apartments in Area C seemed to have been completed."

"Small apartments?"

Gu Qinghan raised an eyebrow. The school had these? He hadn't known about that before.

Han Jingjing nodded, saying with some thought: "Yes, they were built by our school to increase revenue. They are all those detached small apartments, two stories, but the area of each room isn't big, probably only about a hundred square meters or so."

"A hundred square meters per room isn't big!?"

"Of course, for the children of wealthy families, it's really not that big, and the rent is also very expensive."

Gu Qinghan nodded. If that was the case, then this place should indeed be much safer than other places.

"What's the specific location?"

"It's right across from the cafeteria in Area C. There's a row of special buildings. You'll know it when you go, but..."

Seeing her expression, Gu Qinghan asked curiously: "But what?"

"The security guards over there check IDs. You probably won't be able to get in without someone bringing you."

Hearing this answer, Gu Qinghan suddenly laughed out loud.

This teacher was truly adorably stupid.

"Teacher, I used to think the phrase 'big chest, no brains' was just a joke."

Gu Qinghan shook his head with a smile, then walked to the window under Han Jingjing's embarrassed and angry gaze.

"Look at the world outside right now. This world is no longer the same one as before!"

Han Jingjing looked down through the window and saw the zombies downstairs wandering around aimlessly.

Among them, there were many Sturdy Zombie figures mixed in.

Looking down from this distance was much more shocking than looking down from the eighth floor!
