Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?

As Wen Nan patted Hu Jiayao on the shoulder, the moment their bodies made contact, as Wen Nan had predicted, the system prompt sound timely echoed in his mind—

9527: [Target contact successful, unlocking target information for you—]

[Name: Hu Jiayao (Ah Yao)]

[Identity: The rash and chivalrous senior doctoral student in your academy]

[Description: Hu Jiayao and Wu Qing are from the same master, both doctoral students under Professor Wang Yajun. Hu Jiayao, who just started his first year of doctoral studies this year, is a chivalrous and straightforward person. Although many times his actions can be reckless and his temper a bit irritable, he sometimes shows impressive performance...]

[Faction: To be unlocked]

After quickly browsing through that introduction, Wen Nan promptly put it away.

In this instance, both characters and players can unlock a set of compiled introductions for each other through contact.

Of course, knowing clearly that Hu Jiayao is a player and understanding him outside of this instance, Wen Nan is very certain that the introduction about Hu Jiayao is entirely for making him fit this instance, providing him with a new identity.

This further confirmed Wen Nan's suspicion — only from the system information currently available, not only is it challenging to discern each person's faction, but it's also impossible to determine whether the other party is a character or a player.

Evidently, at the same time Wen Nan received the system's prompt, Hu Jiayao also received an introduction about [Ye Jiu] as the target.

Although unsure what kind of person Hu Jiayao sees [Ye Jiu] as, it's certain that this is definitely a new identity arranged for him by this instance.

And it was only after receiving the prompt for that target introduction did Hu Jiayao realize that the man in front of him, who looked somewhat familiar and a bit handsome, was actually his president!

Upon realizing this fact, Hu Jiayao suddenly became resolute, grabbing Wu Qing with a reverse grip and hurriedly heading to the Life Sciences Institute building.

Though still not entirely sure why the president suggested he go with Wu Qing, since it was a suggestion from the president, Hu Jiayao, of course, followed it unconditionally!

Wen Nan suggested Hu Jiayao to the Life Sciences Institute for a simple reason — although there might be something fishy there, relatively speaking, it's actually safer than this current place.

No matter what faction Wu Qing belongs to, one thing can be certain, she is definitely a character, not a player.

Almost all players are teleported into the instance around the same time, but when Wen Nan entered the lecture hall, Wu Qing had already been lecturing about the "tricarboxylic acid cycle" for quite a while.

Moreover, without having any contact with Wen Nan, she already knew he was called Ye Jiu and directly asked Ye to visit Professor Wang's lab after class. All of this didn't sound like something a newly teleported player could do.

Since Wu Qing is a character, it's better to follow her than wandering around the campus alone, waiting to be found alone by lurking players and stealthily taken out, which is much safer.

Of course, it's not ruled out that Wu Qing could be the [Young Master].

The worst-case scenario is that Wu Qing is the [Young Master], and Old Wang she mentioned is the [Traitor], in which case, her leading Hu Jiayao to find Old Wang is akin to walking into a trap.

Such a possibility is actually very small because this instance just started not long ago, and Wen Nan doesn't think the [Young Master] could contact the [Traitor] so quickly. Coincidentally, the heroic background identity of the loyal [Faithful Minister] just so happens to relate to the [Young Master] and [Traitor], and they are so in sync to set up such a ruse.

That's too much of a coincidence.

Wen Nan tends to believe that such a low-probability event does not exist.

Even if we take a step back, and the opposite is indeed the [Traitor], at worst, Hu Jiayao will be forced to face the [Traitor] head-on.

Hu Jiayao is a player who focuses on strength and armor; he might be rash but not weak, and he might not lose.

While thinking, Wu Qing, who was being dragged ahead, turned her head at this moment, looked at Wen Nan, and asked him, "Ye, are you also going to Professor Wang's lab? Let's go together?"

Wen Nan shook his head, "I have something else to do, I'll go later."

Wu Qing didn't insist any further.

Although Ye Jiu is a student in her substitute-taught class, they were ultimately not familiar with each other. She had no right to inquire about his plans or urge him like she did to her junior brother earlier.

So Wu Qing simply reminded him to "stay safe" and then turned back around to continue to the Life Sciences Institute building with Hu Jiayao.

[Finally found it! Jiu cilang's live broadcast room! Great! Luckily, I died in the intermediate instance, and I don't need to upgrade the viewer level to watch the intermediate instance directly.]

[Are you a fan?]

[Yes, the body is still warm]

[Me too! I came for Jiu cilang! Did you die blowing up that instance?]

[Yes! Is that you?!]

[Yes, met in the instance, fellow admirers, who would've thought, now that we're dead, we meet again in the netherworld, we must be fated]

[God damn netherworld, are you two like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai?]

[No, we had conflicts with this Ye in that blow-up.]

[Enough, it's all blocked, let's just watch the broadcast, no more of those irrelevant talks.]

[Exactly, don't disturb us watching the story.]

[What story? What kind of instance is this? Can any brothers from D University help explain?]
