Chapter 1793: Chapter 1788: Vulgar Fears (Part 1)

What an inspiring day it is, who says autumn is lonely?

Advice from Expert Fu was meticulously noted by Miss Wen without missing a word.

Considering she still needs to prepare for the journey, Fu Qian did not want to disturb her further and soon took his leave.

This trip to Xi Yuan yielded more than expected.

The follow-up on the Meteor Shower incident and the tacit understanding with Chief Yuan were undoubtedly achieved.

Although Su Gao, this companion, joined somewhat hastily, the current arrangement seems to be the most suitable.

Even regarding matters related to the Larea Royal Family, Wen Li brought interesting information.

Overall, no one is happier about the entire situation than Chief Yuan.

If Su Gao wasn’t in charge, it would have been a bit strange for me to accompany, and Yuan Shan probably couldn’t have persuaded me.

As it stands now, this allows me to justifiably stay in Shangjing and take it easy.

According to the agreement, what I need to do next is to wait for my companion to join, and together we’ll start the lively Chapter of the Academy.

Based on what I know about Su Gao, Fu Qian believes it won’t be long, and he just needs to open shop here for a little while.

And since that’s the case—

Returning to the bookstore, Fu Qian observed the bustling little alley outside, full of life and vigor, and casually removed the Messenger mask from his face.

[Warning, Leak Incident]

...

The warehouse still awaits.

And in Fu Qian’s opinion this time, it’s obviously unnecessary to delay until midnight to trigger the mandatory program.

After all, a large amount of liquidity was just infused into the bookstore through redeployment.

With performance reaching new heights, the operations here can pause temporarily to solidify the foundation and refine internal skills.

[Name: All Fools’ Day, Number 3-0205]

[Today’s work content has been updated, enter containment scenario 3-0205 and complete re-containment]

Facing employees who have regained their dedication, the warehouse finally was able to list today’s tasks.

Judging by the numbers, the difficulty seems pleasing, without any negative emotions implied.

Task number 3, and the name...

As he observed the image in front of him, Fu Qian also fell into contemplation.

This time it’s not as elusive as before, and the shape is rather peculiar.

It’s a dark cube, somewhat like a large box used for magic tricks, with a brightly painted head protruding from the center of the top face.

The multicolored face looks somewhat real, yet it’s rotating clockwise at an inhumanly steady speed, bizarre and interesting.

[Would you like to consume 1 SAN Point to begin?]

[Yes]

Reflexively, Fu Qian casually confirmed.

[Entering containment scenario 3-0205]

[Current SAN Points: 106, Current Inspiration: 99]

[...8%...13%...21%...34%...55%...89%...100%, containment scenario loaded]

With a smooth prompt, the task officially began.

[You are Wolf, a young man just four months shy of adulthood.

However, your friends often respectfully call you "Mr. Wolf."

As for the reason, perhaps it’s to commend your ability to remain calm and wise, or maybe it’s your love of reading.

But clearly, it’s not purely complimentary, as these traits make you an outlier among your peers.

You are well aware of this, but you don’t mind.

You know how to interact appropriately with them, unless you plan to be completely isolated.

Of course, this doesn’t mean you are interested in attending their beloved parties, especially on All Fools’ Day.

Yet, as you enjoy a quiet day of solitude, you receive a call from one of your most familiar friends, Butters.

On the other end, he sounds anxious and terrified, begging you to go over no matter what.

It sounds complicated, but after a brief thought, you decide to step out into the cold weather to join this doubly foolish gathering.]

Mr. Wolf?

Sounds rather imposing, even a bit unusual, but...

Before the task introduction was complete, Fu Qian was already lost in thoughts.

To be honest, among all the tasks I’ve done, this is one of the most formal introductions.

Festival, encounter, name, even the names of related people.

It seems clear that this Butters has gotten into some trouble, and as his reliable yet not sociable friend, he thought of and asked for my help first.

But that’s just the impression.

Although the date seems off, All Fools’ Day is another name for April Fools’ Day, which Fu Qian is quite familiar with.

Considering even seeing a Batmobile at the Unseen Hillock, the transmission of April Fools’ Day as a conceptual symbol to this world isn’t particularly unusual.

So, that call could entirely have an explanation more fitting with the festival theme.

That is, for someone like me who isn’t interested in such things, the happily celebrating youngsters felt offended and decided to do something, leading to that call.

Recently, things seem to happen just as I’ve complained?

During a task named ’Virtue,’ I mocked a group of youngsters for not socializing properly during summer break and going to the wilderness for thrills.

This time the party really came.

...

Amidst the sarcasm, the view quickly returned.

A narrow space, a somewhat hard seat beneath, a slippery steering wheel.

Although uncertain if minors can get a driver’s license here, it’s unmistakable that I’m sitting in an old car now.

Outside, unsurprisingly, it’s dim, not solely due to nightfall; the weather is just as bad.

Through a somewhat blurry window, fluffs are seen falling from the sky, accumulating a thin white layer on the ground.

If this were the bookstore world, considering the synchrony without having heard of it, this festival shouldn’t have spread too widely, limited to certain areas.

Sniffing the heavy gasoline scent in the air, Fu Qian tried to start the engine, confirming the car couldn’t start, before pulling the handbrake with some effort.

The next moment, he opened his palm, examining a yellow sticky note there.

The note had only one address, which matched a nearby brown road sign.

This should be what "friend" Butters left behind over the phone.

Even though the car broke down, it seems I’m already close to the destination.

Next, it seems I just need to get out and walk over to find where the fun is and see what the kids are actually up to.

But—

Fu Qian flexed his fingers, feeling them slightly stiff from the cold.

All skill items are genuinely restricted.

In a task numbered 3.
