I went berserk in the game of gods.

Chapter 21 Graduation
"Are you satisfied now?"

In the hallway outside the classroom, the bald teacher looked at the eagle-eyed man and his two colleagues, and said in a very impolite tone:
"Students dying in dungeons happens every year; Wang Cheng's death is just one example. I know he had some connections, but you're from the Special Affairs Bureau! You came to the Fourth Academy over one person's death, swaggering around in front of the students... You've gone too far!"

“Teacher Wang, don’t put it so harshly.” The eagle-eyed man pointed to the ceiling and said, “We have orders from above, and there’s nothing we can do. Besides, you and I both know that someone like Wang Cheng, with his status, can’t possibly be treated like an ordinary student. His life is very precious.”

"I don't care about all that! The matter is settled now, you can leave."

The bald teacher's voice was cold and sharp, clearly indicating that he didn't want to discuss this topic.

Some unspoken rules have existed since ancient times, and they have only changed form in the present day, which is beyond his control.

"A result? Ha, not necessarily." The hawk-eyed man's eyes sharpened. "This year's graduates tore open their invitations almost simultaneously, so their player numbers must be very similar, even consecutive, yet not a single one of them encountered Wang Cheng... Professor Wang, do you think that's possible? And..."

He added:

"The lie detector I have here, an E-grade item, is not absolutely effective. Even novice players can find ways to bypass its mechanism and lie."

He held up two fingers:
"For example, mental aids or superpowers that can enhance mental resistance and evade lie detectors."

"What do you want to say?" The bald teacher stared intently into his eyes.

The eagle-eyed man didn't look away; his gaze remained sharp.

"I heard that six students in this year's class have awakened superpowers. Among them, a student named Lin Ye has awakened the number 212, Dark Eye, which allows him to exert some psychological suggestion by making eye contact with people."

This Lin Ye just happens to be the top scorer in this year's assessment and the third-best in the dungeon run. I heard from others that he had a conflict with Wang Cheng before.

"'Dark Eyes' doesn't have the effect you described." The bald teacher frowned.

"'Dark Eyes' does not exist."

The hawk-eyed man said:
"But what if 'Dark Eyes' is a disguise? What if Lin Ye's real superpower is even more powerful? And Lin Ye happens to have a motive for committing the crime, doesn't he?"

"I'm warning you! This is a school! I've already pushed my limits by letting you question my student." The bald teacher's patience seemed to be running out: "If you continue to act recklessly, don't blame me for being impolite!"

“Threatening us won’t work,” the hawk-eyed man laughed. “I will report what happened here. How our deputy director will deal with Wang Cheng’s uncle is not something I can decide.”

"You think you can report this?" the bald teacher sneered. "I will also report your actions today to the bureau chief. I want to see how your deputy bureau chief explains it."

……

eight pm.

Songhelou (Pine and Crane Tower).

Inside a private room, Cao Yu, Chen Ran, and Zhou Fan raised their glasses together in celebration:

"happy graduation."

After tonight, they will go their separate ways. Although they will most likely stay in Sishan City, the city is very large, and if they don't take the initiative to reach out, they might not see each other for several years.

Cao Yu looked at Zhou Fan and smiled, "This place is quite expensive. You've spent a lot tonight."

"The Special Affairs Bureau offers great benefits, and we're about to start working there, so what's a little expense?" Zhou Fan said with a smile. "If it makes Brother Cao happy, then the money is well spent."

"When did you learn to flatter?" Chen Ran teased. "And the tone of your voice... I get the feeling you're on your way to becoming a corrupt official?"

"What are you saying! What are you saying!" Zhou Fan said, displeased.

Then he looked at Cao Yu and asked, "Brother Cao, where did you fill in your employment application form?"

“I come from Meishan District, so naturally I’ll fill in Meishan District,” Cao Yu replied.

“Uh… Meishan District?” Chen Ran was the first to show surprise and astonishment: “Why did you choose such a chaotic place? I thought you filled in our district, so I didn’t ask you… Now that it’s settled, there’s no way to change it.”

“There’s no need to change it.” Cao Yu laughed. “I grew up in the Meishan District, and all the people I know are there. It’s not like I can just leave whenever I want.”

“Miss Chen, you don’t need to worry about this,” Zhou Fan interjected. “With Brother Cao’s abilities, I think whether this Meishan District will be chaotic or not will be entirely up to him.”

"I told you not to call me 'Young Miss' anymore." Chen Ran carefully observed Zhou Fan for a few moments. "You... I never realized you were such a good flatterer."

“When did telling the truth become sycophancy?” Zhou Fan sighed softly. “I’m the only one who’s sober in a world of drunks.”

"That's enough!" Chen Ran couldn't take it anymore and changed the subject, "By the way, what do you guys think about what happened this afternoon?"

"What else can we look at him like that? That idiot Liu Xiong must be jealous and rabid!" Zhou Fan spat and said disdainfully, "He sees Brother Cao doing well and comes over to bite him. His narrow-mindedness is unbearable! If we meet in a dungeon in the future, I'll definitely make him suffer!"

You're such a smooth talker... Chen Ran's eyes were subtle, but she didn't tease him this time. She also disliked Liu Xiong. If she encountered him in a dungeon in the future, she would definitely try to sabotage him if she could, until he was completely ruined!

Chen Ran said:

"I mean, do you think Wang Cheng's death was an accident, or was it caused by someone?"

"I suspect it was deliberate."

Zhou Fan's attitude became serious:

"We tore open the invitations together, and our player numbers were similar, yet none of us encountered Wang Cheng. Does that make sense? Someone must be lying, but I don't know... how did they avoid the lie detector? It's impossible that they just happened to get a lie-detection item, right?"

“I also think it was deliberate. What we can think of, the Wang family can definitely think of too.” Chen Ran reminded Cao Yu, “So the Wang family won’t let this go so easily. Cao Yu, your performance in this instance was the most outstanding, and you demonstrated the best abilities. You might be targeted, so be careful.”

"Don't worry, I'm the least suspicious." Cao Yu showed no worry. "Think about it, the three of us went to the same instance and gave the same answer. What's the probability that all three of us avoided the lie detector and managed to lie?" "Hmm...it seems that Brother Cao is indeed less suspicious." Zhou Fan guessed. "Could it be Lin Ye? He was first in the assessment, third in the instance, has a conflict with Wang Cheng, and has awakened superpowers. He has both the motive and the ability to do this."

"Lin Ye... that's quite possible." Chen Ran said thoughtfully.

Then the two of them simultaneously cast expectant glances at Cao Yu.

Cao Yu: "..."

Even though we're outside the instance, you still treat me like an "external brain"?

He didn't give a definitive answer, but only offered a reminder:

"You guessed right, there's a good chance it was Lin Ye. And this Lin Ye probably has some real superpowers hidden. He's meticulous, but also has an arrogant personality. We've probably been affected by him today."

Besides, what we can think of, surely the Wang family can too? Having suspicions is enough. Lin Ye will be under special 'protection' from the Wang family from now on.

You guys stay away from him. Someone like him is always causing trouble; getting involved with him will only lead to a lot of problems.

Lin Ye was an ordinary student, but because of his flamboyant personality, he was a huge conspicuous figure in the eyes of those privileged students.

It was precisely because Lin Ye was drawing hatred from the front that Cao Yu was able to go with the flow and control his score in the graduation assessment, only managing to get fourth place.

After all, some of the privileged students in the four colleges are really annoying; they seem to need to show off their superiority every day, as if it would kill them.

He doesn't have the energy to play house with these idiots.

"Of course, the Wang family bullies others and is no good."

He then lowered his voice and added:
"We don't interfere because we're too weak to draw a clear line between right and wrong. We don't want to end up going along with it."

"I understand, I understand," Chen Ran said. "Isn't this what you often say, 'A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall'? And 'When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven'?"

"Hey, Xiao Chen, you've got pretty high standards, huh?" Cao Yu said with a smile.

"Cao Yu, although you are not a strong suspect, you still need to be careful."

Chen Ran ignored his teasing tone and reminded him seriously:

"Few of those high-ranking figures are truly magnanimous; they all value face highly and are particularly prone to taking their anger out on others."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Cao Yu said. "Let's not talk about this anymore. I plan to leave school first thing tomorrow morning. What about you guys?"

"I'm going home tonight!" Chen Ran's lips curled up. "Hmph, I have a level six cultivation aptitude, and I can't wait to go home and cultivate!"

"You have visualization diagrams at home?" Zhou Fan asked in surprise.

Entering the path of immortality, evolution points are equivalent to spiritual energy, which is a basic resource. However, to cultivate, spiritual energy alone is not enough; one also needs cultivation techniques.

The visualization diagram is an early-stage technique in the path to immortality, serving as a guide for evolution.

Only graduates of the Fourth Academy who join the Special Affairs Bureau can enjoy the resources of cultivation techniques.

“My older brother got a visualization diagram from the dungeon rewards,” Chen Ran said with great anticipation. “After tonight, I’ll be a little fairy.”

“…” Cao Yu said, “You should still call her Your Majesty, it sounds better.”

"Are you never going to stop?" Chen Ran said, dissatisfied.

"No, this time I'm serious." Cao Yu raised his glass. "Let's not talk about that anymore, cheers!"

"cheers!"

Happy graduation!

The three of them had joy in their eyes and excitement on their faces. Their cups clinked together, as if the future they had been anticipating was echoing.

……

The next morning, Cao Yu carried his packed suitcase and left the Fourth Hospital by school bus.

After nearly five months, he finally graduated.

It's time to go home.

Cao Yu didn't rush to participate in dungeons to earn evolution points and accumulate achievement points.

One of the reasons he became a player was because his younger sister was being targeted by a gang leader.

According to his original plan, he intended to participate in several dungeons first, accumulate enough power, and then deal with this matter.

As a result... he activated the system.

Now that he possesses the "Seven Killings Soldier Master" and his evolution level has reached 5%, he has left the novice stage and has a highly compatible item by his side... His original plan is no longer applicable.

All he wants to do right now is enjoy the fight!
