“Mm, six thirty in the afternoon.”
Lin Ran solved his dinner with instant noodles from the convenience store, and the first thing he did was return to the dormitory.
He basically never went to the student council in school, moving in a straight line from classroom to dorm, having no idea what socializing even meant.
If he wasn’t a bit good-looking, always having girls come up to him, he’d be a standard socially anxious otaku.
So, the student council was also a place he was understanding for the first time——
Of course, with the air wall, he couldn’t go directly to the student council in the teaching building.
But——who said he couldn’t just go to a classmate’s dormitory?
Anyway, he’d just done that not long ago——
Relying on the earlier copy search in the dorm building, he had a rough understanding of most classmates within 200 meters.
Due to distance, seventy percent were male dorms, thirty percent female, with a 70% chance of death/not being in the dorm, and he didn’t know most of them.
As for student council members, or those related to the student council, there was only about one.
——Chen Jing.
But, coincidentally, Chen Jing’s dorm was just a bit beyond 200 meters away.
In other words, Lin Ran would have to raise his Casanova level to 3 to unlock the 300-meter portal.
Otherwise, he could only communicate with her across a wall.
Lin Ran had also considered using Goblin City Building, but he couldn’t trust everyone in the school yet.
Especially with the mysterious person’s true identity still unknown, rashly building a city was no different from suicide.
Therefore, Lin Ran’s only choice was to go to the girls’ dorm and talk to the student council committee member named Chen Jing across a wall.
The destination was a dorm plastered with pink wallpaper and filled with pink furniture, radiating a strong girlish vibe.
Hmm, Lin Phantom Box would probably like this room a lot.
He could consider bringing some of the furniture to her later to see if she liked it.
Lin Ran nodded, thinking to himself.
Of course, the owner of this room was already dead, even among the first wave.
She died in the bathroom, with a slime entering her throat and suffocating her.
Her corpse was still lying in the bathroom——
Luckily, the Filth Evolving Bug, nature’s cleaner, was there, and the little slimes came along too, willing to take on the cleaning job.
Otherwise, the dorm would be stinking by now.
Honestly, it takes some skill to die in the welfare stage.
He closed the bathroom door to prevent the remaining smell from leaking out.
Lin Ran climbed onto the bed pressed against the wall of Chen Jing’s dorm, turned into a slime again, and tried to seep into the wall as much as possible, practically glued to it, shouting at full volume:
“Chen Jing! It’s Lin Ran! Let’s talk about the situation!”
He had asked Zhou Qingqing to message Chen Jing beforehand, telling her to wait in the dorm.
But Lin Ran didn’t have high hopes; after all, she was a busy person.
If she wasn’t there, he’d just have to wait until the third wave ended to talk to her.
But unexpectedly, a faint voice really came from the other side of the wall.
“Is…is it Lin Ran? Did you really come? How did you do it? What do you want to talk about? I’ve been waiting here for a while.”
Lin Ran had never met Chen Jing, but from her neutral yet slightly excited and playful tone, he imagined a well-behaved girl with black-rimmed glasses.
“How I crossed the air wall is classified for now, can’t reveal it.”
“To be honest, you probably know I was first in points last wave. I obtained an item called the [Goblin Worker Summon Horn for City Building], which means I can turn the school into a town, uniting everyone!”
“So, I want the student council’s help!”
As he spoke, he took out the horn, took a photo, and sent it to Chen Jing via private chat.
Chen Jing saw it immediately and replied with a received emoji:
Chen Jing: “(u‿ฺu✿ฺ) Okay okay~”
He didn’t mention Qi Xiaoyu’s death or his suspicions about the student council.
What if Chen Jing herself was the mysterious killer?
He had to be prepared for anything to avoid accidents.
Of course, he didn’t expect the other party to be completely naive either.
After all, in all aspects, Chen Jing’s performance was top-notch in the school.
“No problem, do you need resource support? Combat support? Or more people’s trust? The student council can do it all.”
It’s here!
Combat support!
Of course, Lin Ran didn’t need their combat help yet.
What he needed was to know the abilities of all student council members.
“Tell me the combat abilities of all the core members of the student council. After building the city, I’ll contact you all first.”
“Alright, I’ll send it to your phone in a bit~”
After that, Chen Jing’s side went silent.
Soon, Lin Ran received several EXCEL sheets on his phone, each corresponding to a student council core member.
Such efficiency, truly worthy of a student council member.
[Student Council President——Gu Yunzhou]

[Simple Evaluation: No comment]
Since the table was made on the fly, there were lots of colloquial notes, and it wasn’t formal at all.
Still, the information was a bit too direct.
Even somewhat careless.
Lin Ran glanced through it.
Because the intel wasn’t that valuable, he instead trusted Chen Jing more.
If she wanted him to trust her, she’d have made up some amazing-sounding abilities or things that seemed reliable.
Looking ordinary actually made him trust her more.
He had to admit…this student council, one by one, their abilities were all pretty evil.
Lin Ran was starting to wonder if they were some kind of villain organization.
Turning back into human form, Lin Ran intended to return to his dorm.
But…
As he turned, a black-haired girl appeared before his eyes, making him freeze.
“Lin…Lin Xi…”
“Is that you?!”
…
