Chapter 49: REUNION WITH THE CLASSMATES
WINTER ARC STATUS
Rain pouring ☔ + wolf tide raging 🐺 = absolute chaos.
Fang Yuan's squad: Clapping frenzy lightning wolves with Blood Moon Gu bleed stacks.
Casualty reports: 📉 Clan's losing Gu Masters faster than Twitch subs in a boring stream.
FANG YUAN'S APERTURE INSPECTION:
White silver primeval sea (clean, no demonic residue).
Gu lineup:
Blood Moon Gu (main DPS).
Sky Canopy Gu (tank meta).
Thunderwings Gu (zoomies).
Four Flavors Liquor Worm (hidden OP).
Spring Autumn Rizz: Recovering too fast (Fang Yuan sweating: "Aperture can't handle ts rizz.").
Problem?
Blood Moon Gu leaks blood monthly (awkward downtime).
Solution? Chainsaw Golden Centipede (Flower Wine Monk's inheritance).
POLITICAL WHIPLASH MOMENT
Fang Yuan saves random classmate (who he used to bully).
Her reaction: "Wait… he's actually… kinda hot?" 😳
Clan Leader Gu Yue Bo watching: "This guy's playing 4D chess with his reputation."
Clan Gossip:
"Fang Yuan gave his uncle 300 primeval stones!"
"He handed over his Vitality Grass for the clan!"
"Maybe he wasn't the villain… maybe WE were?"
Reality: Fang Yuan's sigma PR campaign is working.

ACTUAL CLASS REUNION TIME
Former victims: "Elder Fang Yuan, we were honored to be bullied by you!"
Fang Yuan: "My bad for the extortion. Here's a toast." 🍷
Crowd: STANDING OVATION 👏👏👏
THE BANQUET
🍷 Wine cups clinking
💰 Primeval stones flying
😭 NPCs competing in glazing Olympics
Fang Yuan drops his cup like a mic, sigma posture unlocked. The second he sits, the background characters finally permission to exist.
Missing: Mo Bei, Chi Cheng, and the "my dad's a clan elder" squad (too busy malding in DMs).
"Aight, skibidi o'clock. I'm out," Fang Yuan declares, flexing his elder-level rizz.
Gu Yue Ding Zong IMMEDIATELY whips out a STACKED primeval stone bag like it's a Twitch dono goal.
"MY LORD, YOUR WISDOM HAS ENLIGHTENED MY SOUL! PLEASE ACCEPT THIS HUMBLE GIFT!" (Translation: "PLEASE DON'T KILL ME.")
Fang Yuan, zero hesitation, yoinks the bag. "Thanks for the free W."
The other NPCs LOSE IT, throwing stones at him like GTA pedestrians during a money drop.
"TAKE MINE TOO, MY LORD!"
"NO, MINE FIRST! I GOT THE LOW TAPER FADE OF LOYALTY!"
Fang Yuan collects 10K+ PRIMEVAL STONES in SECONDS. Ding Zong, still deep in his glaze session, summons servants to carry the loot like Fang Yuan's a pharaoh building a pyramid.
THE SYSTEM'S RIZZ (EXPLOITATION 101)
Fang Yuan stands, raising his cup like a final boss toast.
"Our 'classmate relationship' is… special. Drink up."
NPCs SCREAM, downing their drinks like it's last call at the club.
Outside: Moonlit, blood-scented dystopia.
Inside: Delulu banquet of cope.
Fang Yuan's mind locked in:
Back then: Extorting 5 primeval stones made them RAGE.
Now: They BEGGING him to take 10K+.
"This is the system's rizz," he realizes. "They'll FIGHT to get exploited."
Gu Yue Qing Shu? Stuck at Rank 2 because elders needed him as their errand boy.
Chi Shan? Too busy NPC-ing to level up.
Mo Yan? Literally Karen-ing her way into irrelevance.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan: Played the game. Broke the game. Made the game his b*tch.
"Later, peasants," he says, exiting like a final boss skipping cutscenes.
NPCs STILL TRY to follow, but Fang Yuan hits them with the:
"I like peace and quiet." (Translation: "Stay mad.")
One NPC whispers: "Elder Fang Yuan is… different."
NO DUH. He opted out of the system's clown fiesta while still cashing in on its benefits.
FANG YUAN'S NEW CRIB (BAMBOO BUILDING GRINDSPOT)
Fang Yuan walks into his elter pad—no more NPC-tier rented housing.
"Drop the loot and disappear," he orders the servants.
They obey instantly, leaving him with mountains of primeval stones.
"Time to stash this," he mutters, activating the Tusita Flower Gu.
"BLEH—"
He spits out a glowing red flower lantern (because why not?). The flower SUCC's all the primeval stones into its pocket dimension.
"Storage limit? 15k primeval stones. Mid." Fang Yuan shrugs.
