Chapter 235

That night, Fang Li made a rare decision to go to bed early and rise early, conserving energy to be in optimal condition for the upcoming attack.

Furthermore, due to his Glock being destroyed by Tohyama Kinji using Mirror, Fang Li enlisted the help of an acquaintance in the Butei High Equipment Department to procure new firearms. They worked through the night to modify the new Glock to match the performance of his previous weapon.

For this, Fang Li depleted the last of his account funds, truly reverting to a “Broke” state.

However, issues that could be resolved with money never bothered Fang Li.

After all, once the I-U situation was resolved, Fang Li’s mission would be mostly complete.

During his year at Butei High, Fang Li had already completed Main Quests One and Two.

In his battle against Vlad, Fang Li also managed to accomplish Main Quests Three and Four.

Speaking of this, it’s worth mentioning…

The completion of Main Quest Three was an accidental surprise.

Originally, by defeating Vlad and arresting the Vampire, Fang Li should have only completed Main Quest Four.

However, Fang Li didn’t expect that Vlad, in his pursuit of self-enhancement, had been collecting the genes of various extraordinary individuals over hundreds of years, accumulating the blood of many extraordinary people within his body.

So when Fang Li used the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to kill Vlad’s Vampire form, all the extraordinary blood he had collected over centuries was released, and Fang Li managed to collect it all.

Due to this, Fang Li not only completely fulfilled Main Quest Three, but also exceeded expectations, leading to an accidental surprise.

As a result, Fang Li only had one Main Quest left to complete, the last one— Main Quest Five, which focused on acquiring Exchange Points.

If he could successfully infiltrate I-U, defeat the leader of I-U, and complete the Main Quest, Fang Li would obtain 20,000 Exchange Points.

At that point, Fang Li’s final Main Quest would be considered completed.

In other words, whether publicly or privately, this journey to I-U was an inevitable one.

With this mindset, Fang Li finally welcomed the day of the assault.

…

Academy Island, the harbor.

Before dawn, Fang Li and Aria arrived at the port.

They were still wearing the bulletproof suits of Butei High.

However, there was a difference. While Fang Li was essentially empty-handed, Aria not only wore her holster but also strapped on a belt filled with magazines and even carried a backpack-like box on her back.

Looking at the box, Fang Li couldn’t hold back his curiosity and inquired, “What’s inside this?”

Hearing this, Aria revealed an expression that said, “You finally asked,” and she replied with a cute smile aimed at Fang Li, “That’s a secret.”

Fang Li rolled his eyes directly.

At this point, she was still keeping him in suspense.

It’s probably some sort of secret weapon, right?

After all, when they decided to attack I-U together, Aria had mentioned this matter.

Just like Fang Li had prepared Butei bullets for this attack, it seemed that Aria was well aware of how formidable their enemy was and had prepared accordingly.

Since this passionate noble Ojou-Sama had made sufficient preparations, Fang Li could also feel somewhat relieved.

Not long after, the two arrived at the port’s pier.

Upon reaching this location, Fang Li immediately noticed their means of transportation for this mission.

It was a small submarine.

The appearance of the small submarine resembled a bullet, coated with thick armor, presenting a deep black hue. The size was slightly larger than a speedboat, estimating accommodation for only two or three people.

Observing the small submarine that appeared in the harbor, Fang Li half-admired and half-helplessly remarked, “It’s really something that you could get your hands on.”

“That’s because you underestimate Butei High’s Logi,” Aria replied, “Over there, as long as a vehicle isn’t larger than a bus or a truck, you can probably find it. It didn’t take me much time to find this submarine.”

In fact, during the bus hijacking incident, Aria had made a phone call and borrowed a helicopter from Logi.

It seemed that compared to Fang Li, Aria, the transfer student from the United Kingdom who had only arrived in the third semester, was more adept at utilizing Butei High’s specialized resources.

“But can you actually pilot this thing?” Fang Li inquired, “I know you have a driver’s license, but you can’t possibly know how to operate a submarine, can you?”

Due to the unique nature of Butei, anyone who could obtain a Butei license, even students, could acquire a driver’s license at a young age.

This was an internationally recognized regulation.

So, while in the United Kingdom, Aria had already acquired a driver’s license. After transferring, she immediately converted her license to a new country.

However, for something like a submarine, even Logi Butei might not be skilled in operating them, and Aria had never taken Logi courses.

In response, Aria nonchalantly said, her tone seemingly uncaring.

“Don’t worry, I read through the driving manual that comes with Logi’s equipment in advance. It’s no problem.”

Really?

Well, if she said so.

“Did you think I’d actually say that?” Fang Li almost turned to walk away.

“Since we are Butei, we overcome challenges like this with determination, and then it will be alright,” Aria surprisingly revealed her unreasonable personality at this moment.

“The real challenge lies in the upcoming infiltration. Who would waste time worrying about piloting?”

You’re not wrong in saying that.

But, Aria, if we don’t handle the piloting issue well, we might not even reach I-U before we end up at the bottom of the sea, you know?

Either way, they were already here, and Fang Li naturally couldn’t back down.

So, following Aria’s lead, Fang Li climbed into the cabin of the small submarine.

As expected, it was a compartment that could only accommodate two people.

Inside the compartment, there was only one pilot’s seat.

In front of the pilot’s seat were various precise instruments.

Aria sat directly in the pilot’s seat, like a commander, and issued orders to Fang Li.

“I’ve already entered I-U’s signal into the radar. We just need to follow the radar’s instructions, and it will be alright. Let’s hope it’s not in deep waters. This small submarine can’t go too deep. Fang Li, close the hatch. We’re getting ready to set off.”

Fang Li silently closed the hatch and casually remarked, “Is it too late to turn back now?”

Aria instantly laughed, her smile both cute and courageous.

“Unfortunately, I rarely turn back because I’m quite stubborn.”

With that, Aria grasped the control stick and slowly pulled it toward her.

On the pier, a small submarine began to sink into the sea, eventually disappearing from view.
