Teacher Bu Shen (Purple Team)
"Teacher Bu Shen said that all those attacked at the sports meet were Purple Team athletes. The Purple Team was the overall champion of last year's sports meet.
Do you think this series of attacks could be the work of athletes from other teams?" asked NPC Team Leader Lü.
At this moment,Xin Hui and Zi Qian had finished buying their weapons and regrouped with me.
"Sports meet? It seems this time we'll have to rely on Zi Qian," Xin Hui said, her mind working the fastest, immediately identifying the key person for this mission.
Before Xin Hui could instruct Zi Qian,I had already patted his shoulder and said, "We're counting on you this time."
Zi Qian was somewhat taken aback and asked, perplexed, "Why?"
"Isn't sports your main arena?I heard before that you're an all-around sports ace, excelling in track and field and ball games," I said with a smile. This time, we finally wouldn't have to rack our brains over decryption.
"Wu yi is right," Xin Hui chimed in, also pointing out the biggest problem we now faced. "However, the most urgent task is to find the client—Teacher Bu Shen."
"Team Leader Lü just said Teacher Bu Shen is in the lounge.Where is the Purple Team's lounge? Does the school have specially designated lounges for each team?" I asked, looking at Zi Qian, as I'd never represented a team in a school sports meet.
"In a certain classroom of a certain teaching building."
After Zi Qian said this, I let out an "Ah?" He then explained, "Every year during the sports meet, the school opens five classrooms in a certain teaching building for the five teams, allowing participating athletes to store their belongings, rest, prepare, or wait for their events inside. There's no fixed location."
"So that's how it is... Wait, no! According to what you're saying, we still have to search classroom by classroom for the lounge? Although I like wandering around campus, we've walked far too much today!" I really felt like raising the white flag in surrender.
"No complaints. Let's go!" Xin Hui said.
Based on the locations of previous clients, Zi Qian deduced that Teacher Bu Shen was in Teaching Building No. 4 in the North District, so we now ran in that direction.
We started searching from the ground floor of Teaching Building No. 4. We entered several classrooms and asked every NPC. Everyone gave irrelevant or nonsensical answers, like who was hosting the opening ceremony, the mascot was a bear, etc.
Besides these NPCs who kept repeating the same topics, some classrooms were entirely filled with robots.
"We are robots,specially designed to punish students who violate the rules."
I've lost count of how many dozens of times I've heard this phrase.
Several robots charged at me again with their red light swords. I swung my sword wildly a few times and took them down.
Previously, when encountering robots, Xin Hui and Zi Qian, wanting to test their newly purchased weapons, would help me deal with two or three.
After testing the dark blue ballpoint pens once or twice and concluding that "it takes four stabs to take down one robot," from then on, whenever we encountered robots, they stopped intervening.
They would just stand back chatting and watching the spectacle. Sometimes, to save time, they would even let me fight alone, while the two of them went off to search for clues on their own.
Just like now, in this Classroom 3, Grade 4 on the second floor of the teaching building, they were leisurely discussing in the back, leaving me alone to deal with an entire class of robots.
"Is this what you call teamwork?" I couldn't help but grumble inwardly.
"There are Yellow Team and Blue Team lounges downstairs. The previous classroom was the Red Team's. The one next door is the Green Team's. This one is a trap. So the Purple Team lounge must definitely be in Classroom 1, Grade 4," Zi Qian analyzed from the doorway, then left the classroom.
"Wu yi, we'll head over to Classroom 1, Grade 4 first. Catch up once you're done here."
Before I could even respond, Xin Hui actually turned and walked away too.
