Chapter 424 -424-What? I Got Teased!
"Cousin, I’m not hungry right now. I want to go to school immediately."
Caelan shook his head and rejected the suggestion of having breakfast.
After all, he was now filled with curiosity toward this world. He really wanted to know what the people he was familiar with would become in the Inverted World.
Just as he was about to leave, Kate beside him suddenly remembered something. She immediately turned around, took a book out of her backpack, and handed it to Caelan.
"I almost forgot. My dear brother, this is what you asked me to bring you before."
Caelan was slightly stunned and subconsciously took the book Kate handed over.
However, the contents of this book were extremely short, only a dozen pages or so.
Yet when Caelan opened the book, he suddenly felt that the story inside gave him a sense of déjà vu.
Wait.
Wasn’t this a life he had once simulated in [Legendary Adventure]?
Thinking of this, Caelan unconsciously frowned.
Clearly, the book Kate had handed him was not something random. There was very likely some kind of hidden hint within it.
Caelan even had a guess.
Perhaps another version of himself was currently in some special place, watching his every move.
It was just that, for some reason, the other him could not conveniently appear right now.
Caelan could feel that the other version of himself seemed to be wary of something, which was why he deliberately avoided making too much contact with him and acted like some kind of riddle-spewing lunatic.
So why was that?
Was he afraid of being affected by the rules, or had he encountered some kind of trouble?
After a brief moment of thought, Caelan was more inclined to believe that the other version of himself had probably been targeted by someone.
And clearly, those who were targeting him were probably also secretly watching Caelan himself.
Caelan was not certain whether the other party was an enemy, but he had to handle this carefully.
The only thing he could confirm was that the people watching him were not the higher civilization that had created the game invasion.
If they were those observers, they would have no need to waste so much effort on him.
That meant there were likely many dangers hidden here that he did not yet know about.
Combined with the journal he had seen before, Caelan also had a feeling that the path to max level was probably not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Aside from improving one’s own strength, there were probably other external factors influencing things as well.
Caelan shook his head and temporarily cast aside these messy thoughts.
After that, he refused his cousin’s offer to escort him and decided to go to school alone.
After all, he was a grown man.
What was there to be afraid of?
As a result, when he was only halfway there and passed by an alley, several female delinquents surrounded him.
One of them, a fair-skinned and pretty delinquent with dyed blond hair, even raised her hand and pinched his backside.
"Well, well. A handsome little guy all by himself. You’re pretty good-looking, aren’t you?"
"How about it? Want to have a couple of drinks with big sister? Look at you, dressed so pleasingly to the eye. Tsk, tsk. I’m practically drooling!"
Caelan was slightly stunned. Then a broad smile appeared on his face.
"Sure. Then let’s add each other as contacts."
After saying that, Caelan even took out his communicator on his own initiative.
On the other side, when the female delinquent saw how cooperative Caelan was, she could not help being slightly stunned.
Wait.
Was her luck really this good today?
Such a handsome little brother was actually interested in a delinquent like her!
Thinking of this, the female delinquent immediately beamed with joy and took out her own communicator.
But just then, an unexpected change occurred.
From the distance, a young policewoman riding a motorcycle charged straight over and grabbed Caelan’s arm.
"Handsome boy, tell me honestly. Were they bullying you?"
"Don’t be afraid. I’m here to protect you. You don’t need to worry."
After saying this, the policewoman directly swung out her baton and stared coldly at the delinquents.
"You lot, stop causing trouble here. If you bully boys again, don’t blame me for dragging you into the station!"
The female delinquents were clearly afraid of the policewoman. They immediately shrank their necks and prepared to slip away by taking another route.
However, the blond-haired leader still looked unwillingly at Caelan’s peerlessly handsome side profile.
How frustrating!
She had almost managed to add him as a contact, only for someone to suddenly ruin the mood.
Depressing!
After seeing the delinquents leave, the policewoman finally let out a sigh of relief.
Then she turned around, looked at Caelan, and said with a smile, "How was that? Were you scared just now? Don’t be afraid. I’m here."
"Handsome boy, where are your family members? How could they let you come out alone? It’s so dangerous outside these days. Your family really has big hearts."
"Are you going to school? Come on. I’ll take you there!"
And just like that, Caelan somehow ended up sitting behind the policewoman in a daze.
As the engine roared, the policewoman suddenly accelerated. Caelan failed to keep his balance, and his entire body slammed directly into the policewoman’s back.
The policewoman froze slightly.
Then her cheeks turned faintly red, and she leaned backward a little.
This handsome little guy was pretty capable!
...
Caelan entered the school.
The morning was still cultural classes, which were not very interesting.
Aside from the fact that he had become even more eye-catching, there did not seem to be anything particularly special.
However, it was precisely this sense of normality that instead stirred up worry in Caelan’s heart.
So how exactly was this Instance supposed to be cleared?
Surely it would not really make him live through everything all over again, right?
Thinking of this, Caelan immediately became tense.
After class ended, he quickly went to the library, preparing to sort out his thoughts.
Based on the current situation, the best method was to seek help from the Ironclad Legion.
But what exactly was his task?
Caelan casually took a book from the shelf in front of him.
But the moment he opened it, a notification box suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[Task triggered: Seek the Truth of the World.]
[Task Requirement: Seek the truth of this world. After completing this task, the Instance will be cleared.]
Caelan narrowed his eyes.
I knew the task wouldn’t be that simple.
So under the current circumstances, he really did need to seek help from the Ironclad Legion.
The problem was that his lazy cousin was still in a state of concealment.
Even if he brought this matter up voluntarily, she would probably only play dumb.
Unless he could awaken the Chosen One class!
But the biggest problem right now was that the Chosen One class did not exist in this world. In fact, all men could only awaken support-type classes.
So even if he completed the awakening ceremony, his cousin probably would not take him back to the Ironclad Legion.
This would not do.
Did he really have to grow step by step before he could possibly clear the Instance?
No.
With another version of himself helping him, there had to be a way to speedrun this!
