Jiang Liyue, on the day she became a shadow queen, was pulled into an infinite-loop novel and turned into the fake heiress who starved to death because she refused to enter the game. Good news: she...
Chapter 6 was hooked.
At this moment, the live stream indeed returned to the examination room.
The examination room reeked of blood.
The female teacher tapped on the desk: "Exam time is over. Everyone, put down your pens and prepare to hand in your papers."
Suddenly, the dim classroom lights flickered a few times before returning to normal brightness.
Under the lights, all the bloodstains in the classroom disappeared.
Even the female teacher, who originally looked terrifying, has returned to her normal human appearance, except that her face is slightly pale.
Jiang Liyue's deskmate, who had previously been stealthy, was named Huang Linye. At the last second, four or five strange creatures had surrounded him, each of them greedily eyeing him.
But as the exam ended, all the strangeness disappeared, and he slumped in his seat, panting heavily.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that there were actually quite a few players still alive in the classroom. Apart from Jiang Liyue, who had handed in her paper early, there were still twenty-three players left.
The dungeon initially lost over a dozen people, which illustrates the difficulty of an A-level dungeon.
After all the exam papers were handed in, the female teacher, expressionless, told them to go to the academic affairs office at 11 o'clock, and then the players gradually came out of the classroom.
Some players already knew each other and gathered together; Huang Linye also had two teammates.
Or rather, two bodyguards.
In this bizarre game, you can team up to enter dungeons only if you have certain special items.
Huang Linye is a wealthy and powerful man. This was his first time entering an A-level dungeon, so he spent two items to hire two players who had cleared A-level dungeons to protect him on the forum of the eerie game.
The two bodyguards were a brother and sister named Lin Dong and Lin Xi. The three of them were gathered together, and Huang Linye, still shaken, recounted his experience to them.
It wasn't until he mentioned being startled upon entering the dungeon that he remembered, "Oh right, what about the female player who came out early?"
He had figured out that Jiang Liyue wasn't a weirdo, but just a player like them.
Lin Dong and Lin Xi also remembered Jiang Liyue, who handed in her paper early, but she wasn't waiting outside when they left the classroom.
"Perhaps she has already left." Lin Dong recalled the girl's beautiful appearance and commented, "She's very smart, but also a bit reckless."
Lin Xi, the younger sister, admired Jiang Liyue: "But if she's a newcomer, without props and not handing in her paper early, can she really pass the whole exam?"
Keep in mind that for the next five minutes, they used almost all the props they carried.
"She'll definitely be alright." Lin Xi believed that.
Huang Linye recalled how Jiang Liyue had praised the female teacher without batting an eye earlier, and muttered to himself, "Maybe she's already completely fooled by the strange creatures in the dungeon."
Lin Dong and Lin Xi were silent for a moment, then inexplicably felt that it was very likely.
Jiang Liyue was unaware that there were still players who were thinking about her.
She's really got the weird stuff wrapped around her little finger now.
And she had already started eating under Pei Ji's sticky gaze.
At this moment, the empty cafeteria was only occupied by Jiang Liyue and Pei Ji.
The overly enthusiastic cafeteria lady filled Jiang Liyue's plate to the brim.
"Eat more, little sister, how come you're so thin when you're so cute? Eat more." The cafeteria lady was behind the window, and because she was in the shadows, her face was not clearly visible.
Jiang Liyue could only vaguely see a pair of withered and wrinkled hands through the sliver of light from the glass window.
There seemed to be red blood under the fingernails.
...I'm suddenly a little worried about the hygiene of the cafeteria.
Fortunately, the food that the aunt handed over looked clean.
She had experienced hunger and must have had a deep reverence for food, eating with great care.
Pei Ji sat next to her, intently playing with her free hand, like a child who had just received a favorite toy, poking and touching it here and there.
When Jiang Liyue felt itchy, she would pull her hand back, and then he would persistently pull her hand back again.
After this happened two or three times, Jiang Liyue had no choice but to let him do as he pleased.
It's her own fault for saying that good friends can hold hands!
Moreover, the good friend she picked up in the dungeon would often offer her her heart.
What if he suddenly wants to reciprocate and asks her to give him her heart as well?
Compared to that, it's not unacceptable that he's just playing with his hands.
Preoccupied with her trip to the academic affairs office, Jiang Liyue quickly finished the food on her plate.
On her way to the academic affairs office, Jiang Liyue thought about the class assignments again: "Aji, will we really be assigned to the same class?"
If they can't be assigned to the same class, wouldn't all the effort she put in by betraying her conscience to curry favor with the powerful be wasted?
"Yes, I will." Pei Ji gave her a definite answer.
"That's good. After all, if we weren't in the same class, I wouldn't be able to teach you." Jiang Liyue hadn't forgotten her image as a top student, and made up a whole new story in a grand and respectable way.
Anyway, when you're out and about, if she says she's a top student, then she's a top student.
As they approached the registrar's office, Jiang Liyue finally heard voices. She guessed it was other players and quickly pulled her hand away from Pei Ji's.
When Pei Ji tried to hold her hand again, she earnestly advised him, "It's best if we don't hold hands when other classmates are around. Although we are good friends, if we are reported to the teacher, they might misunderstand our friendship."
Pei Ji looked at his suddenly empty palms and nodded a little aggrievedly: "I understand."
It's not Yueyue's fault, those people are just too annoying!
If only the two of them were at Happiness No. 1 Middle School, a murderous glint flashed in Pei Ji's eyes.
Because Jiang Liyue had eaten a meal in the cafeteria, although she handed in her paper early, she was actually the last to arrive at the academic affairs office.
At this moment, more than twenty players were guarding the entrance of the administration office. They were all somewhat surprised to see that Jiang Liyue was unharmed.
When they arrived at the registrar's office and found her missing, they already suspected that something might have happened to her.
Seeing her suddenly appear, some people wanted to get closer and talk to her, but those who knew the rules were all big shots, and maybe they could even curry favor with her.
But as they tried to get closer, they felt a terrifying gaze coming from the boy next to Jiang Liyue.
That gaze seemed to want to tear them all apart.
Players who pass the entrance exam all have some intuition; when their internal alarm bells ring, they realize they must not get close to Jiang Liyue.
They didn't even dare to cast a glance at them again.
Jiang Liyue also noticed this, but she was torn between a complete stranger and the powerful player she had painstakingly "tricked" into passing the game.
She naturally chose the latter.
In a corner where no one could see, Jiang Liyue secretly reached out and tickled Pei Ji's palm with her index finger.
Then Pei Ji suddenly grabbed her index finger.
"What do you want?" Jiang Liyue mouthed the words but didn't make a sound.
Pei Ji shook her finger triumphantly, his eyes shining.
It really looks like a well-behaved puppy on the street that lets you pet its head. Jiang Liyue admits that she was a little hooked.
So we let him do his little tricks.
Ah, Yueyue's wife is finally back on camera! I don't recognize the scoundrel next to her.
[Wife, wife, watching all this human scheming and backstabbing is less enjoyable than watching my wife fool that scoundrel of a man.]
Look how worthless your weird boss is!
I've already said it...
[No need to mention the "rhythm guy," we understand; it's all about creating drama. The big shot was definitely deliberately fooled.]
[It's all Yueyue's fault for being such a good fisherman; I wish I could be Yueyue's dog too!]
