After getting a new phone, Xing Ye went downstairs to take his old sim card out his old phone. As soon as he finished setting it up, he got a call.

He hadn't set up his contacts yet so it was an unknown number. Xing Ye picked up and Di Kuang's voice rang out. "Yo, Xing Ye. Money's really great, huh?"

"You know I have eyes around the entire campus?" Xing Ye asked.

"Not just that, you even found out my identity with money. Money in this fake world sure is useful."

Xing Ye didn't reply, waiting for Di Kuang to continue.

"We can cooperate, but only up until the night of the full moon. We've already found some clues on the crying Mona Lisa and for the three girls, Mr. Deng already volunteered to investigate the office. How about we meet an hour from now, at the rooftops?" Di Kuang took the initiative to say.

"Fine with us. There should be somebody coming to find us with more information soon."

After saying that, Xing Ye hung up and rubbed his pocket, where the little mirror was.

Right now, he was truly lacking QR codes. Little mirror agreed to help him look for them, but the last couple of days had been fruitless.

Xing Ye tapped his pocket, whispering, "Don't you always brag about how great your luck is? How useless."

In his pocket, the little mirror trembled furiously. How could he find one if he can't even go outside?!

"Who are you talking to?" Behind him, Cao Qian asked.

"I'm just thinking aloud."

Around half an hour later, somebody finally contacted Xing Ye, saying they found somebody who knew what happened. However, the informant didn't want others to know her identity and wanted Xing Ye to find a quiet, secluded area to talk. The informant didn't seem like she wanted money, she just wanted to know where Xing Ye got the three's photos from.

Hearing this, Xing Ye knew he had found the person he wanted.

Their spot at the rooftops were already exposed. They needed to find a new place.

"Let's go to your dorm room. He said that the informant was a girl, so it'd seem very natural for her to enter the girls dormitory." Xing Ye told Cao Qian, "There's class right now, so there shouldn't be anyone else in the dorms. Our opponents are all males, so it'd be hard for them to enter the girls dormitory."

At the start, Cao Qian thought Xing Ye was truly intelligent. But now, she wasn't so sure anymore. She still remembered the first thing Xing Ye did in the campus world was to go to the girls dormitory. There's seven legends, so why would he go to the girls dormitory instead of, let's say, the piano room? Could Xing Ye actually be using a serious act to hide his true perverted self?

While she was thinking that, she saw Xing Ye take a small, cosmetic mirror out of his pocket and smoothen out his hair. He stared at his reflection for a long time before finally raising his head, "This won't do. My face is too masculine so it'd be hard to crossdress."

Cao Qian: "..."

Xing Ye put back the mirror and very naturally asked, "What happened to you?"

Cao Qian hesitated for a moment. "I want to ask you, in the real world, are you a man or a woman? I've been playing this for a long time and always kept my gender. However, I heard others say that Opposing Fate camp players with especially bad luck sometimes wouldn't even turn out human in the game world, nevermind keep their same gender. I once met a player who turned into a dog. He said that he didn't know if his luck could be regarded as good or bad because from start to finish, nobody managed to discover his identity. In that world, the win condition was to be the last one surviving, so he lived as a dog for five years. At the start, he wanted to kill himself but ultimately decided to persevere and he ended up winning. However, the repercussions were very big. After he returned to the real world, he would constantly think about raising his leg to pee. He only got better after a lot of therapy.
