In order to save the mirror, he needed to become a high level player first. Only then would he be able to explore the truth about the system.

But he had to remember that he could not be impatient. If he became impatient, it'd be easier to fall into the system's traps. It was better to go step by step.

He also didn't need to take the initiative to kill other players. He could take action if he needed to defend himself or if it was a match against other players, but killing just for 1000 points wasn't Xing Ye's style. He still needed to guard his bottom line. He could not cross it.

The most important thing was to make himself stronger.

After talking with the mirror until he was tired, Xing Ye laid on the bed and took a nap. After about an hour, he opened his eyes and took out a paper and pen to practice drawing QR codes on the table.

He was practicing the QR codes for the piano, Peaceful Spirit's Tune, and the three QR codes he saw in Guan Ling's hand earlier. Right now, those were all he could use.

When Xing Ye said he could draw a QR code in 30 seconds, he wasn't exaggerating. It was possible if he kept practicing and made a foundation. Furthermore, he needed to keep drawing each and every QR code countless times in order to reach such a speed.

Such speed would also only be possible for three days at most. If more time passed without practicing, it would be easy to forget and get confused.

In fact, the only QR code Xing Ye had currently memorized was Peaceful Spirit's Tune. After all, he had spent all of last night drawing it. His memory of the other QR codes had already gotten a bit fuzzy. However, he had already drawn them out earlier before he forgot, giving him something to refer to as he practiced.

After practicing for around two hours, Xing Ye got a text from Cao Qian.

Cao Qian: I paid somebody to watch Bai Xu and Di Kuang's group. She and Di Kuang had contact and are meeting in the gymnasium.

Sure enough, she hadn't listened to what Xing Ye said earlier about resting. However, Xing Ye was the same, frantically practicing, so he didn't have the right to say anything.

The problem was...

Xing Ye: Who did you hire? Where did you get the money from?

Cao Qian: I need you to send me ten thousand, they're still waiting to be paid. I'm not as upfront as you. Our friend circles are different and I didn't make a group or anything. I just offered 200 per piece of information and asked a few girls I'm close with.

Xing Ye immediately sent Cao Qian 100,000 over and told her she could be even bolder.

Cao Qian: To prevent anybody from suspecting me, I told them that I had a crush on senior Di Kuang but he seems to like his classmate, Bai Xu. They seem to be together often, so I hoped my friends could help me see if there's anything ambiguous between them.

Xing Ye: ...

Very good, this excuse was much better than how he just wantonly threw money around. It also fit Cao Qian's character very well, so it wouldn't arouse suspicion.

The things girls pay attention to would always be different from a man's, but Cao Qian's strategy really was smart.

He looked at the photo of Di Kuang and Bai Xu. It was taken during lunch break. Di Kuang was playing basketball, with Mr. Deng as referee, while Bai Xu watched at the side. Guan Ling and Wu Yu were rushing about, picking up the basketballs.
