Boss explained, "I've only recently started stepping into the Art Building. Before this, even if I reached the layer where the Art Building is located, I never ventured inside... It was as if there was a subconscious thought of 'don't go in'. But lately, that thought has disappeared."

Lin Yi's expression became more serious: "Recently... When did it start?"

"It's been a while, but if I have to pin it down, it probably started when the Principal went missing after going out to sea." Boss said slowly, "I consulted the School Doctor, and this was her answer. But I don't quite understand the logic in it..."

As she spoke, she suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Yi: "If one day you figure out this logic, tell me the answer."

Lin Yi was slightly startled. He didn't quite understand why Boss suddenly said this, but he still nodded solemnly: "Through fire and water, Boss!"

"Stop your chatter. Living well is what truly matters." Boss shot him a sidelong glance, splashed the water a few times, and suddenly said again, "If I remember anything, I'll let you know."

"Okay, okay!" Lin Yi, who wasn't holding much hope, still nodded.

"Huihuizi." Boss looked at Li Huiyuan.

"Oh! Here!" Li Huiyuan made an instinctive upright position in the water.

"The pool water is just right now. You can try swimming a bit for training."

Li Huiyuan's eyes lit up: "Great! I'll train right away!"

After responding to Boss, she turned and slowly started swimming.

Seeing Li Huiyuan was finally gone, Lin Yi seized the moment to secretly ask Boss, "Boss, Boss, what's up with Huihuizi today? Why did she change so much before and after my swimming? It's like she became a different person..."

Upon hearing this, Boss couldn't help but twitch her lips. She glanced at Li Huiyuan who was swimming before speaking, "Actually, she wanted to save you initially, but ended up sinking herself..."

"Don't be fooled by her carefree nature; she's actually quite sensitive, especially around you. After I pulled her up, she was worried you'd find out, so she kept holding it in..."

"I see..." Lin Yi felt a warmth in his heart. Huihuizi, you little rascal...

Need to practice more, hahaha!

Otherwise, how will you save me?

His lips couldn't help but curl.

Li Huiyuan, who was swimming, suddenly sensed a chuckle from a male and female guardian, and distractedly swallowed a few gulps of water due to unstable strokes.

Once she hurriedly adjusted, she suspiciously turned her head back and murmured, "How strange... Why does it always feel chilly from behind, like I've been backstabbed? Could it be that pesky Lin Linzi again backstabbing me in front of Boss?"

"Oh dear, truly annoying, Hakirin!"

"I must train well to deliver a flying kick like Boss!"

"Anyway, it won't kick you to death!"

She grumbled while paddling.

And Lin Yi leaned against the poolside, enjoying the rare leisure time since entering school.

At this moment, he really felt like he was on "vacation," casually strolling through seven days, taking away thirty thousand yuan as an Experience Student.

Seven days, and today is the sixth day...

Unknowingly, the time passed quickly, feeling that every minute and second was fulfilling.

Yet, it also felt slow; while not exactly an eternity, it seemed like a month.

At this moment, Lin Yi leaned against the edge of the pool, watching the ripples from Li Huiyuan's swimming push waves towards his chest, listening to Boss gently splashing the pool water, suddenly feeling an unprecedented sense of peace.

The pool's surface shimmered under the LED lights. In a trance, Lin Yi felt he saw a blue ocean, golden beaches, a group of vacationers playing on the sand, while he lay in a deck chair, nestled under a parasol, dozing off to the sea breeze...

But he quickly came to his senses and chuckled self-deprecatingly, wondering how he conjured up such a scene.

After lingering for a while, Li Huiyuan had been swimming for quite some time.

Lin Yi suddenly thought of something and quickly looked at Boss: "Right, Boss, since there's nothing happening now, I happen to have some questions I'd like to ask you."

"Go ahead."

"I got a kerosene lamp and wanted to ask if there's a way to get it re-lit."

Boss looked at him in surprise: "Where did you snatch it from?"

She didn't appear shocked at all, seemingly understanding Lin Yi's antics like a thunderclap hiding in his pants.

Lin Yi was somewhat speechless, wondering why Boss could calmly accept him turning into a monster!

"Actually, I was lucky today and took down a Sneering Angel, who was probably a Dormitory Supervisor. After the hourglass in his hand shattered, a kerosene lamp appeared. I put it away, thinking if it could be lit, it could be considered a decent weapon..." he explained after all.

Boss said, "Charging a kerosene lamp in the Gymnasium is quite simple. You can give me the lamp later, and I'll get one from the wall for you."

"The charging method for old kerosene lamps is variable, with the underlying logic being to infuse it with pure supernatural power."

Lin Yi was amazed: "Doesn't that mean I can charge it as well?"

"If the bulb is still intact, you can." Boss said, "But to charge an old kerosene lamp, it might require more consumption than charging Old Mo."

Lin Yi showed an expression of surprise: "Does it consume that ridiculously much?"
