20 Menggui High School (20)

Fate chose to stand on the opposite side of her.

The second thing Qin Fu'an saw was what the other person was holding.

A bubble machine prop; if I'm not mistaken, it's the same one that was stolen from the small supermarket.

The muzzle of the bubble machine was pointed directly at him.

Seeing this, Qin Fu'an silently raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Did you wait here on purpose to hunt me down?"

If you listen closely, you can hear a hint of interest in his tone. After all, he has always been the hunter, and this seems to be the first time he has been treated as prey.

Nan Zhu thought Qin Fu'an was deliberately stalling for time, but she had props at her disposal. Qin Fu'an had also taken care of the most dangerous sports equipment on this floor. In addition, the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room was constantly increasing because of this confrontation. With these factors combined, Nan Zhu was not afraid of Qin Fu'an stalling for time.

Therefore, she will definitely be a good person who answers every question for the time being, at least to make sure that this player dies knowing why.

“Yes.” She nodded in acknowledgment. “Because you are an invigilator, the students cannot harm you. So before that, I first found a way to lure an invigilator to the monster and helped the monster eat the invigilator. That’s how I got this sign.”

She raised her hand and brushed the badge on her chest, her eyebrows curving slightly as she said gently, "I'm curious, grabbing a [Proctor] badge and flying to the end of the exam will add an extra 50 points, but if I'm able to wear more badges, will the final bonus be a big surprise?"

"Perhaps the result of this exam will be enough for me to repay the points for this item. What do you think?"

She seemed to be chatting casually, but her words were full of confident ambition.

Upon hearing this, Qin Fu'an clapped his hands and applauded her, praising, "No wonder you didn't want to return it; it turns out you had planned this all along. This is indeed a very good method."

Nan Zhu is indeed a very intelligent person.

"Then would you be willing to automatically lose this sign?" Nan Zhu slightly raised the bubble machine prop in her hand, threatening in a gentle tone, "You would probably be willing to grant my wish, wouldn't you?"

Qin Fu'an looked up at her, and what was reflected in her light green eyes was the barrage of comments flashing by in her live stream.

Everyone is saying that Nan Zhu is so handsome, ruthless, and skillful, and many people have said they're unfollowing him to follow him instead.

Therefore, Nan Zhu's purpose is not just this signboard, but also to use her retreat and defeat as a stepping stone to gain more popularity.

It's a pity she had to scheme against Qin Fu'an of all people.

“If I automatically lose my badge…” Qin Fu’an emphasized the word “automatically,” and then bluntly exposed her: “Then I’m afraid the consequences for me won’t be as simple as just losing my invigilator status, right?”

To completely eliminate any future troubles, the clever Nan Zhu would definitely choose to take immediate action and leave his life here forever.

Don't forget, Nan Zhu not only has props, she also has other trump cards.

Even after her purpose was exposed, Nan Zhu remained calm. Seeing that the popularity of her live stream had reached an unprecedented level, satisfaction flashed in her eyes. Without further ado, she stopped talking to Qin Fu'an, her expression hardened, and she used the prop on Qin Fu'an without saying a word.

Props: Toy bubble machine (a special children's toy)

Item Ability: Launches a soap bubble that can completely immobilize the target for 10 seconds, but its effectiveness will be reduced if used in a high-temperature environment.

Prop Description: Don't underestimate the destructive power of children and their toys. Sometimes, even a pretty, transparent soap bubble can render someone incapacitated. However, if the adult rite is strong and fast enough, you might be able to pick up the naughty child and give them a good beating before the child pranks you.

Weakness of the prop: Although soap bubbles are very effective at pranks, please don't forget that they are essentially just fragile soap bubbles!

The item can incapacitate a person for a full 10 seconds. After obtaining this item, Nan Zhu felt no fear about the dungeon, because she was certain that 10 seconds was enough time for her to kill any target.

Including the mysterious special player in front of us.

Actually, Nan Zhu didn't intend to be enemies with Qin Fu'an at first, but Qin Fu'an's outrageous actions took away all the popularity that belonged to her. She had almost no income and was constantly ridiculed by the comments for being useless and uninteresting.

When Nan Zhu walked into the small supermarket and saw this prop, she made up her mind that she would make Qin Fu'an suffer a great defeat in the future, and let those viewers who only knew how to criticize see who was the most worthwhile player to invest in.

She wasn't gambling on a momentary impulse, but on her future survival. Only with increasing popularity and points in her live stream could she have a greater chance of survival.

She must survive, and before that, anyone who harms her interests or hinders her life will become a stepping stone that she must crush and trample over.

Just like the veteran player she killed in the previous instance, they could only become nourishment for her rapid growth and strength.

Nan Zhu acted without hesitation, her mind racing for only a moment, and Qin Fu'an was not about to sit idly by and wait for his death.

Before Nan Zhu could even react, Qin Fu'an had already acted at a speed far exceeding Nan Zhu's reaction time.

It's just soap bubbles, so easy to solve.

Qin Fu'an didn't know whether to say he was lucky or Nan Zhu was unlucky.

In the instant the giant soap bubble burst with a soft "pop" and dissipated into the air as it turned into a hazy mist, Qin Fu'an had already passed through the mist and arrived in front of Nan Zhu.

His well-defined knuckles easily gripped Nan Zhu's slender and delicate neck.

Amidst the other's incredulous and astonished expression, Qin Fu'an sighed softly, as if expressing his feelings: "Before you came in to hunt me, didn't you check the cause of that monster's death?"

Soap bubbles, the monster's round, fleshy body... how similar and how direct the connection between the two is!

His right hand tightened its grip, while his left hand rose higher, revealing the weapon he had held the entire time before Nan Zhu's bulging, menacing eyes:

A small, inconspicuous compass.

"Unfortunately, fate is not as kind to you as it used to be." Qin Fu'an sighed softly, and then, in Nan Zhu's pleading gaze filled with tears of despair, his slender fingers casually closed.

A very faint, muffled sound of bones cracking rang out.

This intelligent person, who had maintained a clear-headed, rational, and gentle attitude from the very beginning of the game, died so easily and absurdly at the hands of Qin Fu'an.

As Qin Fu'an sighed, fate had probably favored her many times before, but tonight... fate chose to stand against her.

Qin Fu'an released his grip, and Nan Zhu's body fell straight backward into the narrow aisle between the classroom desks.

Her bulging eyes still held despair and pleading, but she no longer had the chance to calculate the cards she desperately needed to survive.

Qin Fu'an lowered his eyes and calmly watched her hideous, unseeing face as she died, then casually tossed the compass in his hand onto her body.

"If you have a next life, whether you are human or a ghost, I wish you peace and joy."

He seemed to say a strange "blessing" to each person he killed, which sounded more like mockery or boasting to others.

Qin Fu'an bent down and picked up the bubble machine prop that Nan Zhu had been clutching tightly until her death. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he noticed that Nan Zhu was also holding another small object in her hand.

A deep red, translucent bead.

Just as he reached out to touch it, an introduction to the bead appeared before his eyes.

Props: Strange Bead (Special)

Item Ability: Wearing the Strange Bead will make you appear as one of the same kind by strange creatures; and after absorbing the blood of a creature, you can directly plunder half of that creature's life force for your own use (3 times).

Item Description: The Ghost Realm contains many beads of unknown origin and special abilities. Some can bring good fortune, while others can take lives. But perhaps they were once just toy marbles that were collected?

Qin Fu'an stared at the strange bead that had both a deep red color and a translucent appearance, and roughly guessed what Nan Zhu had been planning.

With her arm injured, she could easily kill herself by using the Strange Bead to drain her life force after imprisoning herself.

Even if she spares his life, after losing half of his life force, Qin Fu'an will probably have no ability to deal with crises and risks. In this test, the best outcome is death.

Picking up the strange bead and removing the [Invigilator] badge from Nanzhu school uniform, Qin Fu'an calmly walked around the corpse on the ground. As he reached the classroom door, he suddenly turned back.

The student NPCs who had been carefully hiding in the classroom, who were cautiously and eagerly peeking out to devour the corpses on the ground, all cowered in fear and held their breath, not daring to move, when Qin Fu'an stopped and looked back.

"Do you have any clean school uniform jackets?" Qin Fu'an suddenly asked them.

A group of student NPCs looked at him blankly for a moment, and then a few quick-witted ones nodded hurriedly and shakily found two clean school uniforms and handed them to him.

They seemed to be afraid that if they got any closer, Qin Fu'an would swallow them whole.

Qin Fu'an ignored their reactions, took the school uniform, glanced indifferently at the students in the classroom, and said calmly, "Live well. As your substitute teacher, if you turn into sports equipment and come to me for fun... I'll probably have a hard time when I take action."

As he spoke, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and he asked the group of timid children, "You don't want to put me in such a difficult position, right?"

Student NPCs: "..."

A group of humiliated children nodded frantically, tears welling in their eyes.

[Author's Note]

Nan Zhu: Bubble Attack

Anzai: ... (silently takes out a compass)

Students: Waaaaaah, his smile is so scary!

Yunzai: ? Why isn't he back yet...?

I probably won't update tomorrow night. I'll try to finish another book tomorrow, and then focus on updating this one.
