F-class thief? Sorry, I can steal anything.

Chapter 285 Preparations Before the Operation

It was already late at night when I got back to the dormitory.

Xia Nan and Shi Lei were not there.

Qin Ming has not shown up since the last incident.

Therefore, there has always been one empty bed in dormitory 404.

then……

Wang Fugui insisted on being transferred to the dormitory where he was located.

At that moment, he was sleeping like a log, snoring loudly.

Chen Yifan walked to his seat, did not turn on the light, but used the moonlight shining in from the window to turn on the communicator.

He carefully read through the two intelligence reports given to him by Lin Tian and the "Order Council" again.

The murderous intent in his heart was like a volcano suppressed under ice; though calm on the surface, it was frantically accumulating energy inside.

Li Yuantu must die.

But figuring out how to kill him is a technical skill.

Forcing your way in is something only a fool would do.

A beast-shaped clone whose strength is no less than that of a beast, plus fifty elite guards at the third rank.

Not to mention Li Yuantu's true form...

It is definitely stronger than the other side.

Even if his strength has greatly increased now, rushing in would only be suicide.

Therefore, we can only outsmart them.

Lin Tian's plan was perfect.

A feint to the east while striking in the west, then a direct attack on the enemy's lair.

Destroy the energy core, paralyze the entire manor, and weaken Li Yuantu's clone.

This line of thinking is indeed correct.

But Chen Yifan never places his hopes entirely on other people's plans.

Especially Lin Tian…

It seems like they know a little too much.

And that mysterious person...

A pioneer in machinery!

Just like Xia Nan.

There aren't that many coincidences in the world without a reason.

If there is…

It won't happen to him either.

He doesn't believe there's no problem here.

but……

Regardless of the relationship and purpose of the individuals involved.

This is also an opportunity.

He opened Mu Wanqing's chat window and sent her a message.

"Please check the records of all supplies entering and leaving the 'Black Forest Manor' outside Kyoto for me. I need all the personnel movement information for the past week."

He needed another, more objective intelligence report to verify whether the information provided by Lin Tian and the "Order Council" was accurate or not.

After doing all this, Chen Yifan leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

He glanced at Wang Fugui, who was sleeping soundly, and made a decision in his heart.

He cannot bring Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu with him on this mission.

Too dangerous.

This isn't about fighting monsters in a tower; it's about a life-or-death assassination in the real world.

The other party is a ruthless agent of the "Outer God".

Any mistake could have disastrous consequences.

He couldn't let his friend take that risk.

Early the next morning.

Chen Yifan was woken up by Wang Fugui's loud and boisterous voice.

"Fanzi! Fanzi! Wake up! Something terrible has happened!"

Wang Fugui held up his communicator with an excited expression.

"Look, look! The top headlines on the campus network are all about you!"

Chen Yifan, still half asleep, took the document and saw several bolded and highlighted posts on the campus network forum.

Shocking! In just three days of school, the mysterious freshman Chen Yifan has single-handedly dominated two major leaderboards!

In-depth analysis! Chen Yifan's unorthodox method for soloing the tenth floor boss: genius or a bug?

Let's delve into the background of the man who refused divine punishment and the student council—who exactly is he?

The comment section below already has tens of thousands of replies.

There were those who praised it, those who questioned it, and those who analyzed it; the argument was fierce.

"What's the big deal? I thought the school had been bombed."

Chen Yifan yawned and tossed the communicator back.

"This isn't a big deal? Fanzi, you're the most famous person in our school now!"

Wang Fugui looked extremely proud.

"When I went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast today, several senior students came up to me and asked if I knew you, and they even wanted to add you as a friend!"

"boring."

Chen Yifan ignored him and got up to wash up.

When he came out of the bathroom, Lin Xiaoyu was there too.

She was carrying three steaming hot breakfasts in her hands.

"Brother Yifan, Brother Fugui, breakfast is ready."

"Hehe, Xiaoyu is so thoughtful."

Wang Fugui didn't seem surprised that a girl was appearing in the boys' dormitory building so casually...

He took the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Fanzi, what are we doing today? Going to the Tower of Heaven again? I feel like I leveled up yesterday, and I'm fighting again!"

Wang Fugui mumbled incoherently as he ate.

"I'm not going today."

Chen Yifan shook his head, took the soy milk Lin Xiaoyu handed him, took a sip, and said.

"Huh? Why?"

"I have some personal business to attend to and need to go out."

Chen Yifan looked at the two of them with a serious expression.

"Both of you, stay at school today. Go to the training room or the library, it's up to you. In short, you are not allowed to leave the school without my permission."

"No matter what reasons they give!"

His tone was serious and left no room for argument.

Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu were both stunned.

"Fanzi, what happened?"

Wang Fugui put down the steamed bun in his hand and frowned.

He knew that Chen Yifan was definitely not the kind of person who would say such things for no reason.

"It's nothing serious."

Chen Yifan didn't want them to worry.

"It's that Li Yuantu I offended before, he's causing me trouble. I'll go deal with it."

He downplayed the matter.

But Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu sensed the danger in the words.

"Li Yuantu? That bastard!"

Wang Fugui's temper flared up immediately.

"Fanzi, I'm going with you! Damn it, I've been wanting to get my hands on him for ages! I'm going to twist his head off and use it as a chamber pot!"

"I'll go too." Lin Xiaoyu stood up, her eyes filled with determination. "Brother Yifan, we're a team."

Seeing their united front against a common enemy, Chen Yifan felt a little moved.

But he still shook his head.

"Not this time."

"Why?!"

Wang Fugui said indignantly.

"Fanzi, are you looking down on me? I'm level 36 now! And I have A-grade armor! I can help you take the hits!"

"It's not that I look down on you."

Chen Yifan sighed and patiently explained.

"This time, our opponents are different. They are not monsters from the Tower of Ascension; they are living, breathing human beings, ruthless professional killers."

"You lack combat experience, especially in fighting other people."

"If you go, you will not only be of no help, but you will also become a burden to me."

That was a very direct and hurtful statement.

Wang Fugui's face immediately turned red.

Lin Xiaoyu's eyes were also a little red.

They know.

What Chen Yifan said is true.

Although they have leveled up and changed their equipment.

However, their battles were basically carried out methodically under Chen Yifan's command.

They are like flowers in a greenhouse.

They have never truly experienced the baptism of blood and fire.

"So, this time you have to listen to me." Chen Yifan looked at them and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Stay at school and don't go anywhere. Wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Fanzi!"

Wang Fugui suddenly called out to him.

He looked up at Chen Yifan, his eyes sparkling with a light he had never seen before.

"We...we'll wait for you to come back."

"But when you come back, you must take us somewhere."

"Where?"

"arena."

Wang Fugui gritted his teeth and said.

"I want to fight. I want to fight someone. Fight them to death."

"I'll show you that I, Wang Fugui, am not just a useless coward who only holds others back!"

Chen Yifan looked at him, then at Lin Xiaoyu who was equally serious, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded.

"it is good."

"Wait for me to come back."
