Cao Qian silently watched the two of them from a corner and walked out behind Xing Ye when she saw Boy C take out the memory card. She didn't say anything, staring at Xing Ye like a teacher assessing a student for a while before slowly opening her mouth. "Why did you get him to bury it? What if he's a player?"

"It'd be even better if he was a player. The whole reason why I wanted it buried was to let other people see." Xing Ye explained with satisfaction. "He was one of the five of us who entered the female dormitory the day before yesterday night and triggered a mission with the key character, Miss Human Head. Even if those two lackeys of mine aren't players, they'd definitely be watched by other players. If they buried something in broad daylight, it'd probably be dug out again very soon."

"You want to confuse the other players?"

"I want to lure out the last player." Xing Ye said, "I specifically called Boy C out in front of all our classmates so that person could see."

"You're sure that the last player is in our class?"

"It's possible. Don't you think that the number of players in our grade is a little much? You, me, Wu Yu, and Ms. Li are all here. However, the mission involves areas from the whole school. All one thousand students and one hundred staff members could all be players- but then why are the number of players so concentrated here?"

Cao Qian frowned and pondered for a long time before reaching a conclusion. "Chance? Luck?"

"That's right, it's caused by the following fate players' luck value." Xing Ye explained, "Right now, we already know that Wu Yu, Ms. Li, and Di Kuang are all in the same group. Wu Yu and Ms. Li are both following fate players while we're opposing fate players. At the start, you and I weren't teammates yet. Two opposing fate solo players spawning in a room with a team of following fate players- say, isn't that very unlucky?"

Cao Qian's expression turned complicated when the following fate players' luck values were mentioned. "It really is unlucky."

"With how lucky the following fate players are, everybody from their camp should've spawned together in the same class and would be able to recognize each other with a glance. Wouldn't that be a natural occurrence?"

"That's right!" Cao Qian strongly approved.

"From this, we can tell that Di Kuang is an opposing fate player because he was spawned in grade 12, a completely different grade from us. He was the only one out of his whole team to have not spawned here because his luck value was too low."

Cao Qian continued to nod excitedly.

"Now we can also ascertain Mr. Deng really is a following fate player and doesn't have any teammates. He spawned as a gym teacher for the first years, a grade which doesn't have any players. As long as he doesn't expose himself, there's no way anybody would be able to discover him. That means his luck is also very good."

Cao Qian strenuously pondered over Xing Ye's words and tried to put it in her own words. "Three out of the seven players are opposing fate players. Two of them are solo players and spawned in the middle of a group of following fate players while the last of their companions spawned somewhere completely unrelated, meeting with Wu Yu the next day. There are four following fate players. One of them has no team, so they spawned in the safest location possible. Two of the remaining three are teamed up. Wait, but then why do you think the last one is Wu Yu's classmate?"

"Because the number of players are too balanced." Xing Ye said, "We already know that there's four players in our class- two from the opposing fate camp and two from the following fate camp. But doesn't that mean that the following fate camp wouldn't really have an advantage? Even if they're a group while we didn't know each other, the numbers are still evenly matched. With their luck value, they should have an overwhelming advantage. That means that the last Following Fate player has to be in our grade and knew the other Following Fate players before they arrived in this world."
