I clicked "yes" but was denied entry to Infinite.

The head of the creature in the dark appeared exactly where it overlapped with the apple core.

Thus, Dark Night became the third player to be eliminated in this Holy Grail War.

The cause of death was an apple core lodged in his brain.

----------

On the rooftop, Li Wei's right foot became scorching hot. He placed his right foot under an iron frame supported by two stones. On the iron frame were pieces of various meats, such as chicken legs and steaks, and strings of vegetables.

Yes, Li Wei and his friends were having a barbecue, and since they were too lazy to find charcoal, Li Wei used the Devil's Wind Kick instead of a fire source.

"Hey Li Wei, the temperature you controlled is just right."

Kongse said while eating a golden-brown roasted chicken leg.

Qi Xi rolled her eyes at Kong Se, "Nonsense, don't you even know whose leg it is?"

"Big brother, your legs are incredibly strong."

Liu Yiqiang said while taking a big bite of a row of chicken legs.

Seeing that it was about time, Li Wei also picked up a piece of steak with his chopsticks and started eating.

This is the tenth day since they left the starting village. Although Li Wei and his companions have triggered many hidden quests during this time, they still don't know the most important thing.

That is the victory condition for this instance.

In a typical Holy Grail War, obtaining the Holy Grail is practically equivalent to winning the game.

But this time is different, because even the number of participants is different from the traditional Holy Grail War, so naturally they don't even know how to bring down the Holy Grail.

"If things continue like this, we're afraid it will be very difficult for us to get a spot."

Kongse said pessimistically, "Even she, a European, can't lead the team to victory against all odds. What could be more despairing than this?"

Qi Xi put down the food in her hand and said calmly, "This time, we will definitely win."

"By the way," Li Wei suddenly said, "Actually, I've been wanting to ask this for a while now. It seems that you care a lot about this spot, Qi Xi?"

Qi Xi shook her head. "It's not that I really want to participate, but Xiao Bai said that this exchange competition is very important. Apparently, that old man has assigned her some kind of task. If the exchange competition is ruined, she might go crazy."

“She often complained to me recently that the old man had assigned her a lot of tasks.”

"Xiao Bai?" Li Wei exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, Master, you should have seen her at the freshman orientation."

"Holy crap, it really is her? No way, after all these years, how come she's still the size of a little girl?!"

The "Little White" that Qi Xi and Li Wei were talking about was none other than Li Mubai, the student council president. Li Wei had seen her at the freshman orientation, but he felt that his daughter couldn't possibly be a little girl who never grew up, so he thought that she was just someone who looked like her.

Otherwise, how could he still be barely getting an A after all these years!

Hearing Qi Xi say that the person really was Li Mubai, Li Wei was surprised.

"Does this mean my plan to raise a young girl has fallen through?"

Qi Xi, with her eyes wide open, exclaimed, "Master, you're a pervert!"

But Qi Xi laughed first when she said that.

“Master, being arrogant is wrong. With your nose, how could you not smell her scent?”

"You used to wash Xiaobai's and my panties by hand~" Qi Xi said, blushing slightly.

"What a twisted father and mentor."

Li Wei: "..."

"Xiao Bai, it's been a long time indeed, ever since her biological parents came knocking on our door."

Qi Xi picked up another skewer and said, "She told me that a lot of things happened afterward, it's hard to explain in a few words."

"Speaking of which, Master..."

Qi Xi said with a strange expression, "Xiao Bai's current hobbies seem a bit odd."

Li Wei was furious upon hearing this: "I knew it wouldn't be a good thing to send her home. What kind of good daughter can those parents raise? It seems they've ruined her personality!"

"No, no, no, how should I put it... Master, do you remember the children's educational cartoons you showed Xiaobai when she was little?"

"Ok?"

Li Wei stroked his chin and said:

"Thinking back, back then, in order to promote the greatness of fatherly love and establish a good father image in her mind, so that she would listen to what I said, I think what I showed her was..."

"Father X?"

PS:

P.S.: Looking for recommendations for anime-themed dungeons... I'm almost dying of frustration writing this without any story references... QAQ

Chapter 121 Summoning! Gilgamesh Makes His Appearance!

"Is there a problem with this?" Li Wei asked.

Upon hearing this, Kongse's lips twitched uncontrollably.

The father treated it as an educational film for children...

Damn it!

Why, why has the president, who I've always thought was sacred and noble, suddenly become so unreliable?

She's one of the most representative figures in the academy.

If the higher-ups in the academy are all like this, then this is a recipe for disaster.

Shaking his head, Kong Se calmed himself down.

"Don't panic. The vice dean is someone who has lived for who knows how long and has a wealth of life experience. He would never let an unreliable person become the president."

Thinking about it this way, Kongse felt much more at ease.

"By the way, Master, when are you going to see Xiaobai? I reckon she must miss you a lot."

Qi Xi asked, "After all, she has been using your surname since she entered the academy, and she has abandoned the surnames of her biological parents."

She must miss you a lot.

Li Wei sneered: "If she really had such deep feelings for me, why didn't she use the name I gave her and secretly change it herself?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Xi suddenly covered her mouth and coughed.

Kongse scratched his head in confusion, "What's so funny?"

Qi Xi's expression turned very strange. She tried to suppress her laughter, but the corners of her mouth inadvertently turned up.

"Xiao Bai's original name..."

"How can I put it, Kongse, you simply cannot imagine the torment Xiaobai went through when she was in elementary school, especially when she was learning poems like 'Bright moonlight before my bed' and 'The sun shines on the incense burner and purple smoke rises' in Chinese class. How complicated her feelings must have been."

Kongse's eyes widened. "Holy crap, could it be that the president wasn't originally called Li Mubai, but instead..."

"Yes, let's name him Li Bai."

"..."

He couldn't hold back any longer, and burst into laughter.

"Back then, my master's pet cat was also named Li Hei, but it sounded too awkward, so he simply called it Xiao Hei."

"Little Black, Little White, no, let me laugh for a while..."

Seeing Kong Se laughing uncontrollably, Li Wei gave a cold smile: "Fine, your skewers are gone."

"Ah!? Big brother, I was wrong QAQ"

"Humph!"

Li Wei turned his head away with a grim expression.

"Speaking of which, Master often had to go out, and I would go with him. Back then, Xiaobai played with Xiaohei the most."

"Xiao Bai was basically raised by Xiao Hei. Thinking about it, Xiao Hei had a tough time too."

Qi Xi said with a touch of emotion.

"Wait, Qi Xi, what did you say?!"

"A cat raised a girl?!"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Qi Xi asked in return.

Kongse was about to say something but suddenly choked up.

What's with this so matter-of-fact tone?

Kongse turned to look at Li Wei, then at Liu Yiqiang, who showed no reaction.

Why do you all think it's normal for house cats to take care of babies?

"I think you're the one with the problem. If you can't even do something this simple, what's the point of keeping this cat? I might as well roast it and eat it," Li Wei said.

"Yeah, besides dealing with the expired spicy strips that Xiao Hei accidentally bought too much of, that's the only good thing about him that's somewhat praiseworthy."

"..."

Damn it, where can I buy one of these house cats? I want to have one too.

Kongse's heart was roaring.

You guys even look down on me.

But seriously, are there really such awesome house cats in the world?!

Kongse said she was still a little skeptical.

"Huh? Where are the skewers? They're all gone!"

"Oh, we ate it all while you were in heat. Anyway, I already said there wasn't any for you."

An office in the college —

"Hey? Xiao Hei, why are you always staring at the dungeon selection screen? Even though it's a rare exchange competition, there's no need for you to be so concerned."

Xiao Hei muttered under his breath, "What do you know? I'm still hoping to escape this misery through this exchange competition..."

"Huh? What did you say, Xiao Hei?"

Xiao Hei quickly shook his head, "It's nothing, nothing, just a hallucination."

"Oh," Lolo said with a little heartache, "Xiao Hei, it's good that you work hard, but you don't have to push yourself so hard."

“That makes sense…” Xiao Hei said, tilting his cat head slightly in confusion. “But I have a feeling that something’s not quite right about this instance.”

"No way, you must be overthinking it. You chose this instance yourself, how could anything go wrong?"

"That's right, after all, I'm such a reliable cat... Hmm, I'm going to take a nap, I'm so sleepy~"

--------------

Students continued to enter Natsuki City, but as time went by, there was still no new progress in the Holy Grail War.

It seems that the progress of this instance is stuck here.

However, apart from some idiots who somehow managed to get ahead, the students who can participate in this selection competition are basically elite individuals.

Since we can't progress through the dungeon, let's explore more hidden things to deepen our understanding of this dungeon.

After all, the beginner world has given them a lot of inspiration, and they all know the importance of discovering hidden quests.

Li Wei and his three companions strolled leisurely through the streets of Siji City.

"Ugh... How boring. Are we just going to sit here and wait to die like this?"

Li Wei picked at his ear. "Oh, then go die. We'll take care of your food."

"..."

“Sigh,” Kongse said listlessly, “At this stage, I guess no one will fight. I feel like this kind of life is just as bland as the real world.”

"You're wrong about that. Look up ahead, doesn't your face hurt?"
