I Did Many Dangerous Things After Knowing When I Would Die Chapter 3
Advertisement
What David didn't know was that he had fallen for Blake's trick.
In fact, Blake had deliberately declared his stubborn intentions of heading to the cemetery publicly.
He had intentionally put David in the center of attention in the classroom and made him say those words in order to have an excuse to participate in the expedition team.
How did Blake know that David had the ability to allow him to join the expedition team in the first place?
Obviously, it was through the help of his memories from his previous life.
Blake clearly remembered in his previous life that the whole expedition team was killed in the cemetery on this day, on the exact time period, and it threw the whole country into an uproar!
In reality, everyone had actually managed to guess what had happened to this team of people that night after the live broadcast was interrupted.
However, the authorities prevented the release of the incident to the public, claiming it was 'top secret'.
Back then, David had been the only one who used his uncle's connections to leak the details about the horrible experience that night to everyone in the class. He had beamed proudly, saying he was honored to have had the opportunity to join the expedition team, but he gave up the opportunity to be part of the team...
At that time, the whole class praised and lauded his intelligence; there was nothing that David didn't know, for he was the know-it-all!
That scene was still fresh in Blake's mind even after being reborn, and that was why he came up with this plan.
...
Meanwhile, David was calling his uncle outside the classroom.
Beep—
Beep—
"Hello, David, what's the matter?" Uncle Milan muttered lazily.
"Uncle, you see, here's the thing…" said David, as he rambled on about his experience moments ago to his uncle.

"What?!" Uncle Milan snapped in disbelief after listening to David's story, as expected.
"Did you just say that there's a classmate who wants to join the cemetery exploration team tonight? A high school student at that?"
His uncle's words did not conceal his extreme shock at all.
"That's right, Uncle... This guy seems to be really desperate to go. I already said that he could only go after signing a life and death contract, but he agreed without any hesitation... And, and... he seems a little impatient..." said David gloomily, as he recalled Blake's enthusiastic expression.
"You're kidding! How bold can you high school students get?" Uncle Milan questioned.
He remained silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Unfortunately, he's only a high school student. Otherwise, the expedition team today would really have been happy to accept such a selfless teammate..."
"David, why not tell your classmate not to watch the live broadcast tonight? The ancient tomb exploration is adults' business. He's just a student, so don't..."
"But... but, Uncle! I've promised him! And... and I'm doing it in your name."
Afraid that his uncle might ultimately refuse, David hurriedly added, "I told my classmates that my uncle is resourceful and has deep connections. There's no relationship in the world that he can't have! Even if you wanted to meet Jackie Chan, or the Queen of England, or the president of the United States, he can easily do it!
"Uncle, you told me all of this yourself, didn't you?
"Don't tell me, don't tell me... that you can't even arrange for a high school student to join the expedition team?
"I said it in front of the entire class. Everyone heard it..."
David sighed in disappointment.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Milan felt a desire stir in his heart, the desperation of wanting to look superior and admirable before others.

He forcefully swallowed the words of rejection that were about to come out from his mouth, puffed out his chest, and said with a serious face, and said, "David, did you really say that to your classmates?"
"Of course! In the eyes of my classmates, you're literally James Bond! You're extremely capable and accomplished!"
"David, you are right. I can do exactly what you said!" Uncle Milan concluded, as he nodded with satisfaction.
"Tell your classmate to bring his ID, adventure equipment and tell him to come to H City's Government Hall immediately! The exploration team will set off strictly at 8 pm. However, if he can't make it in time, it's not on me."
"Okay, uncle! You are indeed my hero!"
"You have good taste. I do hope your friend's the same as well," beamed Uncle Milan, with the corner of his mouth curved upwards, revealing a set of perfectly white teeth.
"Oh right, David, before I forget, what's the name of your classmate?"
"Blake... Blake Wayne!"
...
After obtaining permission from Uncle Milan, David quickly ran back to the classroom with joy and announced the good news.
Of course, in order to maintain his smart, collected demeanor, David's excited expression manually deflated into a calm look the moment he entered the classroom.
Just outside the door, he crossed his hands behind his back, puffed out his chest, and raised his head proudly. He then proceeded to strut into the classroom.
"Blake, get ready. Gather at the entrance of H City's Government Hall. The expedition team will depart at 8 o'clock, on the dot. Don't be late."
"Ah, right, also, you don't have to be too restrained when you meet the expedition team. They're all my friends. They'll take care of you."
David calmly returned to his seat, as if he had just accomplished a task as small as a speck of dust.
When the entire class heard David's words, they were completely amazed!
"F*ck! David, you solved such a big matter with just a phone call?"
"F*ck! This is an official expedition team, how can you just barge in with your decisions like that? David, what exactly does your family do?"
"Terrifying! The strength of David's family is simply terrifying! As expected of our Cheng Cai High School's know-it-all! I'm so jealous..."
"David, I heard that the international action superstar Jackie Chan has returned to H City recently. Is that true? Can you get tickets for the meet-up? I really want a photo with Jackie!"
...
The entire class screamed with excitement as they crowded around David in the center.
The girls gazed at him with eyes full of admiration!
As for Blake, who had attracted everyone's attention previously, no attention was paid to him at this moment.
However, Blake was not bothered.
The most important thing currently was to complete the mission of sleeping in the cemetery for one night to be able to extend his life.
Otherwise, it would be all for naught.
Thinking of this, he no longer hung around the classroom. He grabbed his belongings as he left the classroom, heading directly to H City's Government Hall. As for the rest of today's class…
He still had class?
Well, he only has one day left to live…
Class my *ss!
