The elevator rubbed and made a harsh sound, and his expression flickered on and off, as if it was split in half by the outside light.

He stared at the broken pocket watch in his hand and rubbed it unconsciously with his fingers.

Through the smooth reflection of the pocket watch, there seemed to be a flash of bright red in his eyes.

[Dungeon opened·Sixth day]

[Core Area·Conslitin University]

He had a very tight schedule for this day.

The music class in the auditorium lasted from six in the morning to twelve noon. He quickly pushed his emotional value to the full value of 2000 points, leaving no time for himself to rest.

The well-known students originally wanted to attend the afternoon class, but they learned that Teacher Lewis had resigned.

Reed from the Human Resources Department also wanted to retain Su Mingan, but he refused.

After the emotional value has been maxed out, there is no point in staying here. He cannot immerse himself in this kind of campus life, although there is also a Youth Exploration Club here and there is psychology that he is interested in.

Other players can indulge in this city-state that is very similar to their homeland, can cheer for it, and can take a vacation for them...but he can't.

An unparalleled sense of urgency surrounded him. He wanted to do better than the previous week, seize even a little bit of time and opportunity, and strive for even a little bit of progress...

Otherwise, he always feels... like he has lost something.

After talking about what to do with the eagle dog Kaskinen Philo, he quickly went to the biochemistry laboratory of Consilidin University, and before evening came, he pushed the [Biochemistry] skill to level 10.

He used one day to complete the two days of work originally planned for the previous week.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

He coughed, and as he wished, he heard the system prompt that [Biochemistry] had reached level 10.

He showed a tired smile.

In this way, [Mechanical] and [Biochemical] are maxed out at the same time, and he only lacks [Artificial Intelligence]. This module needs to be returned to Central City to learn.

Although the price is that this body cannot support such a large workload, he spent six hours with the piano after busying himself in the morning. Not only did his body begin to become numb, but all ten of his fingers began to hurt.

He remembered that when he was a child, in addition to eating and sleeping, he would play the piano non-stop from morning to night, until his fingers hurt. If he played the wrong note, he would be beaten.

While other children can play outside the window, he can only play the piano indoors.

Neighbors praised him for raising a piano prodigy in his family. When he grows up, he will be as good as his mother who gives concerts.

He may have thought so at the time.

However, the most indispensable thing in this world is that things backfire. In the end, this vision was not realized.

But now, he is surrounded by thousands of admiring students and hundreds of millions of people looking at him from across the world.

They also envied, boasted, and focused on him with admiring eyes just like their original neighbors.

They said that he would be able to give a perfect concert unique to human emotions in this cold city named after data.

There is no such person who will stand next to him, stare at him feverishly, and slap his hand if he makes a wrong speech.

but……

Now he really won't play the wrong notes anymore.

"Meow~"

The black cat fell from his shoulder, its eyes reflecting his pale face.

After reaching biochemistry level 10, it received new transformations and gained an A-level charm value. Even if it wasn't lying on his shoulders, it still looked very lovable.

"Black Jade." He called softly.

It tilted its head, with a childlike confusion in its eyes.

"City Lord, are you okay..." The researcher next to him asked him who was coughing up blood.

"I'm fine." Su Mingan smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, I'll be fine here."

He left the experimental building.

Tonight, after meeting Dong An'an, he will go back to Central City to replenish ammunition and medicine.

He raised his head, and the bright stars were shining in the night sky on campus, like a slowly passing light belt.

Glancing at the raging barrage, he was a little surprised to see a topic that people were discussing crazily.

As if sinking into an unreal dream, as if swimming in an invisible sea, he blinked in confusion, subconsciously ignoring the content of people's discussions.

"Meow~" Black Jade turned over, looked at the cat in his arms, and smiled.

After a moment, his smile stiffened.

After the hazy feeling faded, he suddenly realized the significance of the hotly discussed topic.

It was like a bloody wound, torn open in front of him. Countless barrages flew in front of his eyes. They used overwhelming words to tell him a clear fact.

Although he subconsciously wanted to ignore it and subconsciously wanted to look away,

But there are some things that, once caught in his eyes, cannot be evaded. It sticks into his eyes like a thorn and cannot be pulled out unless his eyes are gouged out.

His eyes trembled desperately, and he struggled, but it felt like he was nailed to his eye sockets, and his fingers were bloody and painful.
