A month of being at school passed quickly.

Luo Di could be said to be the busiest student in the entire school, and about ten days ago, he was kicked out of the master bedroom by Wu Wen, only allowing him to sleep on the sofa.

Because he either wouldn't return all night, or come back in the middle of the night and then get up at three past.

And during sleep, he often talked in his sleep, saying strange things.

As for Hua Yuan, she had long since compromised and stopped insisting on anything, focusing instead on her personal growth.

The last day was no different.

Luo Di arrived at the cafeteria early to prepare the ingredients, and now he was already proficient, preparing all the ingredients in an hour, with all the cut meat and vegetables sealed with plastic wrap.

Of course,

Pumpkin Fran was there as well, and the two had already become familiar.

Although they needed to arrive early to cut the ingredients, Fran always brought delicious pumpkin coffee to refresh and satisfy hunger.

At exactly five in the morning,

Hunter also arrived here; he no longer checked the ingredients but moved the carving of the Joker's meat outside, with Luo Di following after taking off the chef's outfit.

Walking in front, Hunter asked, "Leaving tomorrow?"

"Might leave after class today."

"That's just right, test the results of your training these days."

"Alright."

Luo Di still held Jason's bat, but this time he did not activate any traits and focused entirely on the target before him.

All his actions looked no different from more than ten days ago, and his momentum even seemed to have weakened.

One swing,

just like these past days, hitting meat with the bat.

The tongue did not flick,

the bat easily smashed the Joker's head, but unfortunately, it didn't crush completely, and ended up stuck at the abdomen.

Hunter nodded, "I'll give you a 70, a little better than expected."

Luo Di didn't care about the so-called score at all; he looked at the crushed Joker before him, a strong emotion welling up deep inside.

"Can I try again? I feel I can do better."

Hunter didn't answer but walked to the meat sculpture and devoured the broken sculpture in one bite.

Immediately,

his body began to change, as corresponding white flesh grew from his pores, quickly transforming into the form of the Joker, the only difference being the absence of any mist on the head.

"Come on, I've disguised myself as the Joker to fight with you; it's five o'clock now, I'll need to prepare breakfast at six, so you have an hour."

"Thank you."

The enormous commotion broke the silence of the early morning campus.

Teacher Guo, who just arrived, was also drawn over, quietly hiding in a corner where he wouldn't be discovered to observe carefully.

His main observation target wasn't Luo Di, but Hunter, quickly jotting down relevant information in a small notebook.

"A good candidate for becoming a teacher."

Shortly after Teacher Guo had been watching,

a Question Mark Door opened behind him, and a man with a sack over his head came out, "No wonder I said Luo Di has undergone significant changes lately, especially in the aspect of chopping.

I thought it was Gust teaching him, didn't expect it to be this head chef?

Teacher Guo, you're not considering appointing this one as a teacher, are you? If you add extra responsibilities, the food quality might decline."

Teacher Guo didn't answer directly, only speaking softly, "You're here a bit early today, Question Mark."

"Correct, there's something I need to discuss with you.

After today's morning run, I need to return to the City of Sin. Although everything's arranged over there, some things still need my personal attention.

It'll probably take one to two days; during this time, I'll rely on you for the academic arrangements."

"Will Jia Wen be going with you?"

"No need, he still has a PE class tomorrow."

"Then there's no problem... Question Mark, among this batch of students, who do you think has the best chance of making it to the end?"

"No one could possibly beat that monster, right? Luo Di still lacks something, which that monster inherently possesses..."

"Alright."

...

The sparring between Luo Di and Hunter ended prematurely after forty minutes.

Because of an unexpected turn of events.

Luo Di pushed too hard, forcing Hunter to retaliate, biting off his half body entirely.

Because of this, Luo Di needed to receive treatment from Gust's healing licks in the school medical room. There was no need to attend today's morning run or classes. Once he recovered, he could find Mr. Question Mark to request information about the Joker and start his journey.

As the morning run ended,

Mr. Question Mark received the teacher's leave slip, preparing to depart.

No need for long-distance travel; inside the teacher's office, he was drawing a vortex array for teleportation, able to transport directly to all related Corner organizations or city areas.

Just as Question Mark was preparing to leave, Jia Wen arrived, dressed in sports gear.

"Boss, do you want me to go back with you? After all, the PE class is tomorrow; with me there, I should be able to wrap things up in a day."

"Didn't I already say, there's no need? That tongue won't know I'm leaving school anyway, and it has a biology class to attend today as well.

Mainly, I want to relax a bit by myself; you understand, right, Jia Wen?"

This made Jia Wen's expression change suddenly, "Boss! You're planning to fully root yourself here!"

"The company naturally won't be abandoned, but its growth in scale will be difficult to enhance in the short term, and the game's type is hard to innovate. So, I need to focus here, and by then, the school will organize for the teachers to obtain qualifications together and move deeper in.

Only by reaching higher tiers can I organize larger-scale games."

"Alright, boss, take care."

Mr. Question Mark didn't linger further, teleporting away.

His return to the company this time was to relinquish all authority, letting the senior management team he had cultivated take full charge of company affairs.

Once this was done, Mr. Question Mark planned to stay in Vortex Town for a long time, organizing activities for the students and also exchanging insights with several valuable teachers.

Just as he told Jia Wen, the school was more interesting, even giving Mr. Question Mark a sense of belonging.

In less than half a day's time, Mr. Question Mark completed the power handover.

But he wasn't in a hurry to return; the reason for taking two days off was,

firstly, to sort out all personal items inside the company and move them all,

but most importantly, he intended to stroll around the City of Sin alone, akin to a special form of farewell.

When he first arrived at the Corner, he was spotted by a monster merchant for his intelligence and followed this merchant to the Middle Layer, to this City of Sin, to trade goods.

By Mr. Question Mark's suggestion, the original simple method of selling goods was turned into various interesting games, making the merchant a significant profit.

At that time, he didn't have to worry much; whenever he had free time, he'd wander around the City of Sin alone, have some good food, or find some entertainment projects.

Although there were some unhappy memories, the roots of these memories had all been completely erased by him.

Now about to completely leave, Mr. Question Mark still had some memories intertwined, preparing to experience a day of the past life before departing.

As night fell,

Mr. Question Mark came to an old pizza shop located in the alleyway; this shop existed since he first arrived, and the taste had always been good.

The owner himself was also a "content with little" monster, making just enough Corner coins here.

Before entering,

his hand tugged at the bottom edge of his mask, hesitated for a moment, then let his hand drop. Moreover, there was no Question Mark on the sack surface, as he deliberately restrained his presence to appear like an ordinary person.

Walking into the shop, the aroma remained the same.

Since establishing the True Death Game, he hadn't come around for a long time, often sending subordinates to bring takeout back.

The same decor, the same seating, the same waiter.

Mr. Question Mark seemed to return to the old times, ordering his favorite classic Margherita pizza, but the waiter lingered a bit beside him.

"Is there something you need?"

The round-headed waiter with nearly no neck quickly apologized, "Sorry, you resemble a longtime customer who hasn't been here for a long time.

He also used to sit here, always ordering Margherita pizza. Sorry to disturb you!"

"It's fine."

Soon, a pizza emitting a strong fragrant aroma, topped with mozzarella cheese, was brought over.

Mr. Question Mark made an opening in his sack and slowly brought the pizza into his mouth, still entranced by the familiar taste.

Just as he was immersed in these memories,

Ding!

The doorbell rang,

A monster, wrapped entirely in cloth, burst in, creating quite a commotion, specifically sitting at a corner spot.

He didn't seem to be here to eat, as he started frantically scratching his wrist as soon as he sat down, as if something strange was growing on his hand,

appearing to be dense and tiny black holes...
