After Qin Siyang swaggered into the school, everyone, seeing his noble cold-resistant suit and large backpack, knew he was going to hunt gods.
He walked straight to the principal's office.
"Principal Li, let's go."
Li Tianming, looking at Qin Siyang dressed in a sequence ability user's outfit, was very surprised, "Why are you wearing the cold-resistant suit here? Doesn't that mean everyone will notice that you and I are leaving the school to hunt gods?"
Qin Siyang shrugged, "Wouldn't people notice even if I didn't wear the cold-resistant suit?"
"Principal Li, the fact that I have an [Insurer] can't be hidden for long. Those watching you will also find out about this."
"Rather than hiding and making them think we have some ulterior motives, it's better to openly tell others, showing that we have a normal teacher-student relationship."
"You see potential in me, hoping I can help you in the future, so you're investing now. That's all."
Li Tianming was convinced by Qin Siyang, "What you say makes sense. Alright, let's proceed like this."
Li Tianming also changed into an cold-resistant suit and left the school with Qin Siyang.
Only then did the teachers and students at the school realize that Principal Li Tianming was actually a sequence ability user.
Teacher Zhu and Wen Shu, who had just learned about this, were shocked for a long time.
"I didn't expect Xiao Li to hide it so deeply," Teacher Zhu shook his head in amazement.
Wen Shu said, "It's better for someone to accompany Qin Siyang to hunt gods than for him to go alone."
"Go alone?", Teacher Zhu was puzzled, "Isn't it said that sequence ability users form teams to hunt gods?"
Wen Shu smiled, "I don't know. Just guessing."
After speaking, she continued to study the problems on the exercise book.

Qin Siyang and Li Tianming arrived at the bus stop and waited for a somewhat old bus.
"Thank you, Principal Li!"
Li Tianming gave him a look, took out copper coins, and paid the fare for both.
After the apocalypse, most areas were occupied by gods, so energy was extremely scarce.
The current buses still rely on gasoline or electricity, which are high-energy-consuming items, so the fare is also very expensive.
Therefore, there are no ordinary people on the bus, only sequence ability users who use it to save time.
Some of them had just finished god-hunting activities at the exit of Safe Zone 114514. Others were heading to other safe zone exits to start god-hunting activities.
The bus was quiet. Everyone was either on their phones or resting with their eyes closed.
Qin Siyang looked at others' smartphones, then at his own sturdy old model phone, thinking he should find an opportunity to upgrade his device.
But that was for later.
After more than an hour, the bus's speaker announced, "Exit of Safe Zone 38324, we have arrived."
"Let's get off."
"Okay."
Qin Siyang and Li Tianming got off the bus.
The two walked towards the safe zone exit.
"There are quite a lot of people at the exit of Safe Zone 38324 today," Li Tianming observed, looking at the crowded exit.
"It's because a group of unowned sandworm servants recently appeared here," Qin Siyang explained.
Upon hearing this, Li Tianming's eyes immediately showed surprise.
"How do you know that?"
"Of course, I found a way to inquire."
Li Tianming nodded slightly, feeling more approval for Qin Siyang.
His mindset was not like that of a teenager. Relying on him might really work.
The two walked out of the safe zone exit together.
As the sensor-activated metal door slowly opened, Qin Siyang faced the world outside the safe zone for the first time.
The faint starlight overhead sprinkled on the eternal night of Blue Star, slightly illuminating a world of ruins.
Everywhere were broken walls and ruins, and scrapped large vehicles, faintly recognizable as traces of a once-existing civilization.
But ten years had passed, and these traces of civilization had been mostly buried by wind and sand.
In a little more time, they might completely disappear.
Perhaps in some future year, these ruins would be discovered by an archaeologist, thrilling him.
Or perhaps, they would lie buried underground, never to see the light of day again.
Qin Siyang looked at the scene before him, his mind filled with thoughts and sighs.
'Human civilization is truly fragile.'
"Let's go."
Qin Siyang followed Li Tianming out of the safe zone.
As soon as they stepped out, Qin Siyang felt a strong wind, causing his cold-resistant suit to shake.
Li Tianming looked around at the bustling god-hunting teams, pondered for a moment, "Based on my experience, we can go to that..."
"Principal Li, follow me," Qin Siyang said, choosing a direction with the fewest people to move forward.
Li Tianming was momentarily stunned but did not question and followed behind Qin Siyang.
Since Qin Siyang knew about the sandworm servants, perhaps he also knew their location?
No, sandworm servants, once separated from their master, are nomadic and have no fixed location.
Qin Siyang walked in silence, going deeper, with fewer and fewer people around.
"Qin, where is the gathering place of the sandworm servants you know? Going deeper is dangerous. If we encounter a medium-sized god, I might not be able to protect you."
After Li Tianming's reminder, he looked around; indeed, there were no more people.
The safe zone behind had shrunk to the size of a fingernail.
'It should be about right.'
He took out a black glass bottle from his backpack and opened the lid.
"Qin, what is this?"
"A sandworm scale."
"What? Where did you get this?"
"From where I got the information," Qin Siyang didn't want to elaborate.
Qian Wenzhao and Li Tianming were his two trump cards. The two did not meet, only knowing of each other's existence, which was the most beneficial situation for him at the moment.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Qin Siyang suddenly heard a commotion.
"Get ready!"
"Okay."
Qin Siyang took out his god-hunting dagger, quietly observing the direction from which the sound came.
He held his breath, his whole body tense.
He had killed people but never gods.
Now that it came to this, he was very nervous.
Inside his cold-resistant suit, his back was already sweating.
"Get ready, it's coming in ten seconds," After this reminder, Li Tianming silently stepped back, keeping a distance from Qin Siyang.
To avoid being seen and saying that Qin Siyang did not meet the requirements for solo combat.
As the sound got closer, Qin Siyang's nerves became more and more tense.
Suddenly, a half-human-high black shadow leaped, directly pouncing at him.
Qin Siyang couldn't see the appearance of this shadow clearly, only vaguely recognizing that it seemed to have a dozen giant crab-like long legs, and its body resembled a mutated cockroach.
