[Task Description: Thank you for your attentive help, for finding the root cause of Erin's illness and removing it. However, as long as the disease root remains, Erin is still at risk of falling ill again. Erin still needs your help!

Now, the disease root is in your hands. Set out now to find that furnace and help Erin eradicate this disease root from the world once and for all!
Let Erin escape the tornt of illness both physically and ntally, and let her life return to the right track so she can enjoy the great harmony of life!]
[Entering task countdown now—]
[24:00:00—]
[23:59:59—]
After reading the task description displayed on the screen above his head, Wen Nan looked down at the black marker he held in his hand.
This seemingly ordinary marker is indeed the disease root ntioned in the main task that can't be easily removed?
Is this the One Ring from the Middle Earth? Does it need to be destroyed in the Doomsday Volcano of Mordor?
Standing beside him, Huang Yan glanced at the task countdown and sighed in relief, "Luckily, we have a whole day this ti. Finding that furnace shouldn't be too difficult since we've scanned the map back and forth at least eight hundred tis, we could recite it with our eyes closed."
Guo Xiaofu, on the other hand, poured cold water on the idea, "Not necessarily. That gym equipnt room was discovered only because a new mber crashed into it. There might be many hidden maps like that overlooked by us."
Huang Yan smacked his lips, albeit unwillingly, but couldn't help acknowledging that Guo Xiaofu made a valid point.
The two of them, subconsciously, turned their gaze to Yang Mingzhong.
Yang Mingzhong was taken aback, not comprehending their implication.
Huang Yan spoke directly: "Gu Jinxing and Hu Jiayao, the main forces, cannot get out right now. The responsibility of finding the furnace will definitely rest on you, Brother Yang!"
This was the man who completed the third main task in record ti, within just thirty minutes.
Yang Mingzhong chuckled twice, not daring to take full credit, "I just have so experience, a bit of luck, and brute force. In terms of judgnt and keen sense, I'm miles behind the leader."
As he spoke, a few cast a glance at the leader.
The leader didn't participate in their discussion, all along gripping the black marker in his hand, seriously studying it.
Huang Yan coughed, "Exploring maps, there's no way the big boss would do it himself. It's surely our job as underlings. The leader is a man with six soul puppets, with more important duties to complete."
The man with six soul puppets issued a "split up and explore" task, and hurriedly left to complete his important mission—
Before the previous main task settlent, his system received a ssage from Guan Ailin.
[She-devil: So cold, my whole body feels bad, don't want to sleep alone]
[She-devil: Miss you]
Considering Guan Ailin's personality, if not for the Mind Reading Technique, she wouldn't voluntarily say such words.
Unless, she really needed Wen Nan's company to a degree she couldn't bear.
Wen Nan didn't hesitate, left the refresh point, and headed straight to the president's office on the top floor of the main building.
However, reaching the office door, Wen Nan unexpectedly faced a closed door.
"Ye Jiu?" Assistant Xiao Liu stopped him, "President Guan is in the nearby conference room holding a managent eting now, so she can't et you."
Wen Nan was stunned, "eting?"
"Yes," Xiao Liu nodded, "Didn't she tell you? It's been going on for almost half an hour."
This long?
So she sent those suggestive ssages to Wen Nan earlier, and then went to a eting as if nothing happened?
Switching roles this quickly?
With a bewildered face, Wen Nan left the president's office door, dazedly making his way to his workstation.
Beside him, his junior sister's workstation was empty, a little sign placed next to the desk reading "On sick leave, contact by phone if needed".
Sitting at his desk, Wen Nan took out the marker, playing with it in his hand.
The pen barrel was entirely black, simple in design, with no markings, the spiral line at the end chewed off by Mr. Jiao, leaving a tiny exposed tal connection.
Holding the pen barrel, gently shaking it, a faint "click" could be heard inside.
Ink cartridge?
Wen Nan wanted to see if he could unscrew the pen barrel but found it inconvenient with just one hand, so he shoved one end of the pen into his mouth, biting it with his teeth, holding the other end, twisting it hard.
"Hiss..."
The pen barrel didn't unscrew; instead, the tal connector at the end leaked electricity, shocking Wen Nan into reflexively withdrawing his hand, nearly dropping the pen.
Yu Shujun appeared beside him at so point, observing calmly remarked, "If needed, I can try, Master."
Wen Nan glanced at the hand gripping the sword hilt, shook his head, "Better not."
He had no doubt that the golden light sword in Yu Shujun's hand could indeed break open the pen barrel, given it could sever soul threads. But if he acted, the pen barrel would definitely not just be split into five pieces, it might get lted entirely, leaving no trace.
Speaking of which...
Using Yu Shujun's light sword, which shouldn't even be in such a beginner instance, to directly lt this "disease root" in his hand, wouldn't that accomplish the furnace-like effect?
Would it count as task completion?
Uncertain, but Wen Nan didn't dare to risk it.
After all, there's only this one key item; going wrong ans no turning back.
While pondering, a system ssage arrived—
[Xiao Yuan: Brother, want to have a go? Sister's waiting for you at the usual spot]
Closing the chat, Wen Nan quickly got up and walked out.
While boarding the elevator to the underground parking, Yu Shujun standing beside Wen Nan, coldly stated, "Instead of ssing around, why not focus on clearing the level, Master."
Wen Nan turned, raising an eyebrow at the person, "Are you instructing the master?"
"No," replied Yu Shujun, still expressionless, "This map isn't safe. Rather than doing irrelevant things, I think focusing on the task is important, Master."
Hearing the other speak in such a serious manner, Wen Nan felt a need to properly educate this male maid.
He solemnly began:
"Comrade Xiao Jun, I think there might be so misconception regarding this ga world?
"Here, love is justice, making love is the priority."
In a dating sim with borderline suggestive content, if you don't make yourself a human artillery, how can you beco the ultimate champion?
