Secret Realm Gate

Jiang Yang raced forward at top speed. With physical abilities five times greater than an ordinary person's, he ran like the wind. By the time ordinary Zombies noticed the commotion, they could not even get close to him.

According to the original novel, the Inherited Profession Ye Fan obtained was on the bridge over Taiji Lake behind the school.

Ye Fan was also from Linjiang University, so he naturally knew the direction of Taiji Lake.

Thinking of Taiji Lake, Jiang Yang recalled some information he had investigated beforehand. Taiji Lake at Linjiang University had not been created when the school was founded.

It had existed before the university was built, a small lake with a history stretching back many years.

Things that had existed for a long time, things with stories and history, could become legendary items or weapons.

The same applied to historical scenic sites. They might even become blessed lands or hidden paradises.

It had existed before the school was built, so it had at least a century or two of history. Jiang Yang did not know what had happened during that time, and he could not investigate it, but knowing where the opportunity lay was enough.

Jiang Yang did not bother concealing his tracks. Those Zombies reacted slowly anyway. By the time they noticed him, he had already run far away, and they could not catch him even if they wanted to.

But Linjiang University was not filled only with Zombies. There were also students who had not turned, and the commotion Jiang Yang caused naturally drew their attention.

"Look! There's a Superman outside!"

"What Superman? He runs that fast, he's probably Flash!"

"Did this guy start training long-distance running in his mother's womb?"

In a teaching building, a group of people crowded by the windows and watched Jiang Yang cut across campus with stunned expressions. His inhuman speed made every one of them stare wide-eyed.

Two chuunibyou youngsters shouted with looks of pure admiration.

"Bro, save us!"

"We want to follow you!"

The two stuck their heads out and shouted at the top of their lungs, while the students beside them hurriedly covered their mouths.

"Are you two sick in the head?"

"You'll draw the Zombies over here!"

"What are you scared of? Isn't there a Flash down there?"

"Fuck, did you see him wearing a leather suit? He's not really Flash. You think he'll come save us? It'd be a miracle if he doesn't kill you instead."

Several companions firmly clamped their hands over the pair's mouths. Just then, the classroom door began to shake from repeated impacts.

"It's all your fault! Now the Zombies have been drawn here!"

"Damn it!"

The group furiously pinned the two people who had shouted for help to the floor and roughed them up.

Similar scenes played out everywhere. There were quite a few survivors in Linjiang University, all hiding in classrooms, and they had seen Jiang Yang.

Their reactions went from shock, to excitement, to furious cursing.

Jiang Yang sprinted toward the hill behind the school. Of course he heard those people calling for help, but what did that have to do with him?

Other than belonging to the same species, they had no connection whatsoever. Strictly speaking, Jiang Yang was not even from this world.

They did not have the slightest connection to him, so why should he save them?

Finding opportunities was what mattered most.

Saving people was the protagonist's job.

Jiang Yang was only responsible for stealing the protagonist's opportunities, then playing with the protagonist's girls and other girls.

That was Jiang Yang's ultimate goal!

Linjiang University was huge, but with physical abilities five times greater than normal, Jiang Yang moved like the wind and soon reached the hill behind the school.

The so-called back hill of Linjiang University was actually just a small artificial hill. It was a scenic spot on campus, as well as a place where many people met for late-night trysts.

As he arrived, a familiar memory surged into his mind.

Jiang Yang immediately felt helpless.

The original owner really had been a piece of work.

He had actually slept with several girls in a row on this artificial hill in the middle of the night.

It had always been the same place, only at different times.

It could be said those girls had lined up for that sort of thing.

The original owner had been quite the freak. Even six kidneys could not withstand that kind of abuse.

If not for a massive supply of supplements, he probably would have died long ago.

Still, with his current physical abilities, Jiang Yang might be able to surpass the original owner's record without relying on drugs.

Taiji Lake was right beside the back hill, but Jiang Yang stopped at that moment.

There seemed to be people over by Taiji Lake!

There had been no one there when Ye Fan came to find the opportunity in the original novel.

No!

In the original novel, Ye Fan came looking for the opportunity a day after the Apocalypse began, not at this point in time.

If the timing was wrong, would the Inherited Profession fail to appear?

Jiang Yang recalled the scene from the original novel. Ye Fan had come to the bridge over Taiji Lake and opened a Secret Realm there.

He entered a trial-like stage, cleared it all the way through, and obtained the Inherited Profession, Dragon Totem!

If he had come too early, would this Secret Realm fail to appear?

Jiang Yang's face darkened at the thought. At that moment, a scream suddenly rang out from Taiji Lake.

"You stinking bitch!"

"You actually dared to fight back!"

A fashionably dressed young man was punching and kicking a girl.

It was Gu Tao, the guy who had conveniently handed Jiang Yang a pillow when he had been showing Ye Qingwei around campus!

"An old acquaintance, huh."

Jiang Yang crouched behind an artificial rock and watched from hiding.

Several dead Zombies lay on the hill, their heads and bodies smashed to pieces.

If nothing unexpected had happened, this group must have killed them.

After Gu Tao finished beating the girl, he put on a fawning expression and walked over to a Scar-faced man with a grin.

"Brother Yong, shall we let her go in first later?"

The man called Brother Yong patted Gu Tao on the head and asked coldly, "You brat really are no good, huh? She's your woman, yet you're throwing her away just like that?"

"Hey, what's the big deal?"

Gu Tao lit a cigarette for Scar and looked utterly obsequious. "I've played with plenty of women. She's just a gold-digging bitch. Besides, there might not even be any danger in there, right?"

"Hahaha, then let her go in!"

After Brother Yong spoke, Gu Tao directly grabbed the woman from earlier by the hair and took her onto the bridge over Taiji Lake.

"No, Gu Tao, let me go! I can still do a lot for you. I'll serve you like a cow or a horse..."

The woman began begging, but Gu Tao did not take it seriously at all.

The bridge over Taiji Lake was curved as well, divided into black and white sections. At the point where black and white met stood a small pavilion, and inside it, a doorway had appeared.

A golden halo glowed within the doorway. This was the Secret Realm Gate!

Jiang Yang lay atop the artificial hill and carefully observed the Secret Realm Entrance, recalling the plot from the original novel.

Ye Fan had only come here a day after the Apocalypse began, yet this Secret Realm had already been discovered.

If nothing unexpected happened, these people would all die inside.

Secret Realms were dangerous as well. In the Apocalypse, everything had a price secretly marked upon it. To obtain an Inherited Profession, one had to bear the risk of death.

There were nearly twenty people by Taiji Lake. Eight or nine of them were Spirited Youths, the type dressed in Tight Suits and bean shoes.

The rest were Linjiang University students: five men and six women. Now there were only five women, because the one Gu Tao had under his control had already been thrown into the Secret Realm Entrance.

"Brother Yong, when do you think she'll come out?"

Gu Tao clapped his hands and walked over to the leader of the Spirited Youths. Just as he was about to smile, a sharp slap rang out.

Brother Yong's sudden slap left him completely stunned.
