Everyone: You're a Farmer, WTH is with the Tree Realm Descending

Chapter 14: The Most Difficult Level 5 Dungeon Is Actually the Easiest?

The counselors were ready.

Even before the volunteers reminded her, the psychological counselor had already guessed—these children had likely suffered from severe psychological trauma.

Four life-class students trapped in the Wild Wolf's Lair for over 40 hours, facing a dungeon collapse…

Physically and mentally, they must have been pushed beyond their limits.

In this situation, if none of them had psychological problems, that itself would be a problem.

---

The psychological counselor led Xu Yan and the three others to the counseling room.

She poured each of them a glass of water, then gestured for them to sit on the sofa.

Although she didn't understand how they had survived, she knew one thing for certain—

These children had escaped from the gates of hell, and the mental toll was unpredictable.

So, no matter what nonsense they said, she would try to understand.

Her main goal was to identify their biggest mental stressors and help them recover as soon as possible.

---

She smiled gently and spoke in a calm, reassuring tone.

"Students, don't be nervous. This is just a routine evaluation."

"After all, a team of all-life professions surviving for two days in a level 5 hell dungeon… has never happened before in No. 8 Middle School's history."

She paused, then asked gently:

"So, can any of you share your most memorable or meaningful experience from your time in the Wolf's Lair?"

"Or perhaps any reflections, lessons, or insights?"

"Just think of this as a casual chat with a friend. There are no rules or restrictions here."

Seeing that no one spoke, she turned to Xu Yan.

"Xu Yan, you're the captain. Why don't you start?"

---

Xu Yan nodded, thinking for a moment.

Then, he said calmly:

"I think the reason we were able to clear the level 5 hell dungeon this time was mostly luck."

"If we had chosen any of the four easier dungeons, we probably wouldn't have made it out unscathed."

---

The psychological counselor froze.

She had heard rumors that the children believed they had cleared the dungeon.

So, she expected some common sense confusion.

But...

A level 5 dungeon was survivable, yet the simpler ones weren't?

Was Xu Yan's logic also broken!?

This psychological problem is serious.

---

Before she could process it, Gao Yang nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, if we hadn't faced the hell-level giant wolves, we probably wouldn't have made it."

Bai Ding added:

"Captain, you're being too humble. With your abilities, even the other four dungeons might have been tough, but we definitely could've made it out alive."

Zhou He nodded confidently:

"That was yesterday. If it were today, we could probably clear the other four dungeons too."

---

The psychological counselor's hands trembled slightly.

She felt immense pressure at this moment.

In the children's minds, the hardest dungeon was actually the easiest!?

And it wasn't just Xu Yan—

All four of them showed the same cognitive distortion.

This problem was much worse than she thought.

---

She took a deep breath and continued her questioning.

"Can any of you tell me the key factor that helped you survive this dungeon?"

The team all turned to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan responded modestly.

"The key to clearing the dungeon was Gao Yang."

"Without him constantly feeding me, we wouldn't have made it out."

---

Gao Yang felt warmth in his heart.

Xu Yan valued him so much?

But he quickly shook his head and said:

"No, it's because of Xu Yan. Without his planting skills, we would've died the moment we stepped inside."

Xu Yan added seriously:

"And also, Bai Ding and Zhou He were crucial too."

"Without them, we wouldn't have survived the cold night."

Bai Ding and Zhou He blinked in surprise.

---

The psychological counselor watched as the four of them started praising each other.

For the first time in her career, she felt completely lost.

She had dealt with many post-trauma cases, but this was different.

These kids had completely broken logic and cognitive function…

She had no idea how to handle this.

She decided to just record everything first.

---

Evaluation completed.

The psychological counselor put down her pen, looked at them, and forced a smile.

"Alright, I think I understand the situation now."

"You guys can relax here for a bit. Drink some tea. You'll be able to go home soon."

She stood up and left the room.

---

Outside, the parents of the four students were waiting anxiously.

She handed each of them a diagnosis report.

"My conclusion is ready."

She hesitated, then said in a low voice:

"It seems the dungeon collapse caused severe changes in the children's cognitive processing."

"For the specific diagnosis, please read the report privately."

"But please—under no circumstances—let the children see it. If they realize how serious their condition is, it may trigger even worse psychological effects."

---

The parents opened their reports—

And collapsed on the spot.

---

[Diagnosis: Severe Cognitive Impairment]

Confused Common Sense

Distorted Logical Thinking

Severe Detachment from Reality

---

The parents panicked.

"Doctor, this… this looks serious!"

"Can it be cured!?"

The psychological counselor reassured them.

"Don't worry too much. These symptoms resemble post-war trauma. They're treatable, but recovery will take time."

"I will arrange several rehabilitation courses and notify you soon."

"Until then, please—do not contradict them. No matter what nonsense they say, just agree."

"The goal is to slowly restore their connection with reality over time."

The parents nodded desperately.

"Thank you, Doctor!"

"Yes, please take care of our child!"

"We'll follow your advice!"

---

The psychological counselor sighed.

"Alright, take them home. Let them rest. We'll take it from here."

As the four parents left, holding their reports with trembling hands…

She leaned back in her chair and rubbed her temples.

"These kids… are going to be the biggest headache of my career."
