Chapter 24 Happy University (Twenty-four)
With his previous experience, Feng Zhibei didn't turn around rashly. He calmly said to the commentator, "Please help me see if the person behind me looks like a human."
[Ding! Please think independently!]
He stood still, his voice plaintively saying, "I'm just afraid of ghosts! I'm not trying to get the dungeon answers for free!"
The system paused for a moment, then repeated:
【Anchor, please think independently! 】
Feng Zhibei was annoyed by the noise and was too lazy to argue with this broken game system. He glanced at the barrage to confirm that the person behind him at least looked like a human being, then turned around.
A man was standing not far away, staring at him closely.
The man's eyes were bloodshot and he was wearing tattered clothes. In his left hand, he was holding a black plastic bag with something in it. In his right hand, he was holding a dirty kitchen knife with some dirt on his cuffs.
Seeing Feng Zhibei looking back, his eyes moved back and forth, as if he was looking for something.
"Where's my girlfriend?"
Feng Zhibei sighed in his heart.
Liu Hongtao's appearance at this point was similar to his previous timeline, but his demeanor was completely different. He now exuded the aura of a decadent desperado, a murderer on the run.
A good college student has made himself like this.
The schoolbag seemed to shake a little.
Feng Zhibei sighed silently again.
After all, he was no longer a living person, so it was difficult to kill him. That night, when Xiaomei, who was on the upper bunk, begged him to take her away, he realized that the person in the bag was pretending to be dead.
He whispered to the schoolbag, "I'll take you away from Liu Hongtao and the school. What can you bring me?"
The schoolbag shook even more violently, and an uncontrollable sob came from it.
Liu Hongtao had obviously heard it too. His face darkened as he approached Feng Zhibei: "Where's my girlfriend? Where is she?"
Feng Zhibei lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. When he raised his head again, a guilty expression was on his face, and there were even tears in his eyes.
"I'm sorry... I couldn't find your girlfriend. I searched the dormitory for a long time, otherwise I wouldn't have come out until today..."
Liu Hongtao was stunned. The expression of the man in front of him was genuine and did not seem fake. His handsome face was full of guilt, but he had clearly just heard his girlfriend's voice.
He raised the kitchen knife in his hand and stammered, "You, open your schoolbag and let me see!"
"No! These are all the review materials my mom asked me to bring back. She specifically told me not to show them to anyone else..."
Feng Zhibei opened his eyes wide and shook his head in embarrassment.
Liu Hongtao took another step forward, frowned and sniffed, then suddenly frowned, "You smell like my girlfriend. What the hell did you do?"
He pressed on aggressively: "I know Xiaomei is pretty, has a good figure, and a good personality. It's hard for a man to resist her. What on earth did you do?!"
……ah?
Feng Zhibei's expression froze; he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
Xiaomei in the schoolbag stopped shaking, as if she was shocked.
The barrage was obviously stunned as well.
【？ 】
【What is this NPC thinking? 】
Does he think anyone can feel something for that face?
[Let’s not talk about whether or not I have feelings for her, first of all, at least her sexual orientation is female! ]
Feng Zhibei asked cautiously, "Well, is there a possibility that the person I like is a man?"
Liu Hongtao: "How would I know if you're a straight guy pretending to be gay? Pretty boys like you are the best at this kind of thing! Give Xiaomei back to me!"
Feng Zhibei: "..."
The NPCs in this game are quite fashionable and they understand what it means to be a straight man pretending to be gay.
The man in front of him had a ferocious expression, his teeth bared and his claws bared. The plastic bag in his hand fell to the ground with a snap, revealing the contents inside.
Several bones of varying lengths rolled out with pieces of flesh, along with a few somewhat rotten eyeballs.
A sour smell emanated from the fallen plastic bag.
Seeing Feng Zhibei's gaze in that direction, Liu Hongtao snorted coldly: "You know that Xiaomei was found to be pregnant before graduation. I finally managed to get some meat back for her to replenish her body, but she didn't want to go with me..."
Xiaomei in the schoolbag shook again.
Feng Zhibei took a few steps back, his expression unchanged, but he was already getting nervous.
As a college student back then, Liu Hongtao dared to kill his girlfriend. Even though this behavior was done under the deliberate guidance of B-367, it was enough to prove that he was by no means a good person.
What's more, the other party was holding a kitchen knife, and after the fierce battle in the teaching building, he had no strength to continue fighting.
He could actually leave the girl with only her face in the backpack behind.
She had been dead for a long time, and was just a monster that attacked humans. The monsters digested each other internally. This ending could not be better.
But when Feng Zhibei thought of that night by the lake, the young girl made a wish by the lake, hoping that she could be more successful and independent, but was dragged into the abyss by her unmotivated boyfriend and had no future.
“…”
Feng Zhibei took a deep breath, and a fruit knife appeared in his palm.
Xiaomei is very similar to the assistant he used to take care of when he was alive, acting like a younger sister. They are both of similar age, both in the prime of their youth, and their lives are just beginning. Unlike him, who performs in front of many people every day, he only feels more exhausted by life after taking off the mask.
His thoughts wandered here, and he was immersed in the vague memories of his life again, until Liu Hongtao opposite him stomped his feet impatiently.
Xiaomei shrank in the schoolbag and clung tightly to him through the thin cloth.
Ah. It seems like my old issues have come back since entering the game. I wonder if there's a psychiatric clinic in the central wilderness area...
After you exit the game, go ask Yan Chuxue first.
The expression on Feng Zhibei's face gradually faded, and his eyes were fixed on Liu Hongtao. The latter was frightened by the stare, and he shrank his shoulders and held the kitchen knife tightly.
"I really don't have your girlfriend here. If you don't believe me, you can search my bag."
Feng Zhibei put the schoolbag behind him on the ground. "You searched my bag, so you have to bear the consequences. My mom will be here soon, and you have to explain to her why my bag is in such a mess."
Liu Hongtao's bloodshot eyes kept turning. In the end, his desire for his girlfriend was greater than anything else, and he walked forward and prepared to open his schoolbag.
Just as he was about to open his schoolbag, Feng Zhibei quickly moved behind him, raised his hands, and stabbed the fruit knife into the side of his neck.
To his surprise, no blood spurted out, but a black, semi-solidified liquid flowed out of the wound along with a foul smell.
Liu Hongtao slowly fell forward.
Feng Zhibei quickly picked up the schoolbag on the ground and moved away from him.
Xiaomei in the bag started sobbing again.
"Thank you... I will give you what you want..."
Feng Zhibei patted his schoolbag. "Actually, there's no need. After all, I stepped on you before. I'm sorry. This makes us even, right?"
Xiaomei sobbed even louder.
Suddenly, a prompt sound rang in my ears.
[Ding! Congratulations on gaining the trust of the hidden item - He Xinmei No. 6108.
He Xinmei is a kind and motivated girl. Her recognition shows that you are also a kind person.
Kind?
Feng Zhibei's mind suddenly flashed back to the time when he pretended to be sick and delayed the manuscript for a year for a business tycoon who wanted to take advantage of him, the time when he deliberately broke a vase in the Feng family's old house and put the blame on his most hated nephew, and the time when he was a teenager when he replaced cheese with mustard and spread it on bread for his tutor to eat.
...Stop, why are you thinking about the past again?
Feng Zhibei shook his head.
The notification just mentioned He Xinmei No. 6108. Could she also be a clone? But why did she become a monster NPC? Even B-367 wasn't transformed into a monster, but was simply given death and suppressed in the wormhole.
He glanced at the schoolbag. Xiaomei inside was motionless, too quiet.
Forget it, it was enough for him to let her leave Liu Hongtao and this weird school. It was not his business to deal with any deeper matters.
Feng Zhibei shook his head. Just as he was about to interact with the barrage while waiting for the mother to come over and get a few more points, he heard a prompt sound that was different from the previous ones.
Dear Wilderness players: You have violated the NPC protection regulations by attacking and causing damage to an NPC when they had no intention of attacking. The penalty document has been sent to your email. Please read it carefully and try to minimize the number of violations. The number of violations affects your reputation!
"...What regulations did you just mention?"
The expression on Feng Zhibei's face was very interesting.
He opened his inbox amidst the barrage of laughter, and saw a red-marked email lying in the unread column. It was almost exactly the same as the punishment email from Yan Chuxue before.
[Announcement regarding the punishment of player Feng Zhibei:
On the evening of March 28th, player Feng Zhibei (ID: 0000*) violated the rules by using props to attack NPCs in the Happy University dungeon. This violated NPC protection regulations and resulted in a yellow card warning and a fine of 1,000 points.
When he saw the last sentence, Feng Zhibei's face suddenly twisted.
——My money...oh no, my points!
[I'm dying of laughter. I just squandered the richest man's 20,000 points, and now I'm in trouble too.]
[I told him there were NPC protection regulations long ago. He'll suffer the consequences if he doesn't listen to his parents.]
It’s time to bring some fun to the boring ending of the Novice Village.
I'll be performing a stand-up comedy show for you guys later. If you're happy, we can raise money to pay your fine.
Feng Zhibei thought to himself, wasn’t the chaos caused by the three idiots in the office enough?
He was complaining in his heart, but he certainly couldn't show it out loud. He put on a businesslike smile, his voice filled with false energy: "I guarantee you'll be satisfied! So, could you please give me some money first? That way I can have some motivation!"
[Cunning (Reward 50 points)]
【Sly (Reward 50 points)】
The smile on Feng Zhibei's face became more genuine: "Thank you everyone! I will try my best to find something fun for everyone to watch!"
Suddenly there was a creaking sound behind me.
Feng Zhibei turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.
Liu Hongtao slowly stood up, his head turned 180 degrees backward, his two bloodshot eyes staring fiercely at Feng Zhibei, and black liquid continued to flow out of the wound on his neck.
Feng Zhibei: "..."
The system prompt sounded thoughtfully:
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for releasing a special chase scene: Angry Liu Hongtao]
[Liu Hongtao, who had just bought meat to make soup for his girlfriend, not only did not see his girlfriend, but was also stabbed. He was very angry.
Limited Time Mission: Angry Liu Hongtao
Countdown: 3:00
Please try your best to avoid Liu Hongtao's wrath and survive successfully! 】
Liu Hongtao ran towards him with a grim smile, holding a plastic bag and a kitchen knife.
Seeing this, Feng Zhibei ran away.
No matter whether you stay where you are and wait for the car to pick you up, at this time, there is only one word: run!
Liu Hongtao, who was behind him, chased him while yelling, "Disgusting pretty boy, damn fag, go to hell!"
...How do you know now that he doesn’t like women!
Feng Zhibei screamed wildly in her heart. When she turned around, she glanced back at Liu Hongtao. The other's face had been split in two, revealing black gums and yellow teeth.
Even the meat inside is black and green, and it doesn't look like a human at all.
The current situation should not be within the scope of the NPC protection regulations. After all, Liu Hongtao has taken the initiative to attack him, but the weapon in the opponent's hand is obviously much more lethal than his own small fruit knife. Feng Zhibei dare not confront him head-on.
It's only three minutes, it's okay, I should be able to hang on for a while.
Unexpectedly, there was another prompt sound in my ear:
[Due to the special nature of the anchor's profession, please interact with the audience in a timely manner! ]
Feng Zhibei gritted his teeth.
He was already having a hard time running, and now he had to chat nonsense with the audience!
He was panting and glancing at the barrage of comments during his bumpy escape. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he picked up the microphone and spoke.
Isn't it just nonsense! He can just talk nonsense!
"Look carefully, this man's name is, uh, Xiao Shuai!"
Feng Zhibei panted and pointed behind him.
The barrage froze when they heard these words.
Feng Zhibei gave up on himself and continued to make up stories: "He is making human flesh soup for his beloved woman."
The plastic bag in Liu Hongtao's hand behind him suddenly broke, and the soup spilled all over the floor.
He coughed a few times, his voice hoarse: "After his cooking progress was interrupted, he was running angrily..."
Liu Hongtao roared while swinging the kitchen knife.
"What a touching story! Ahem! But actually, behind this story, there is a shocking fact..."
【……】
[The art of speaking is terrible]
What exactly is he looking at? What's going on in his mind?
[To be honest, I was struck by a strange sense of humor... (Reward 50 points)]
[I don’t know what to say for a moment…]
He was about to continue making up stories when a reminder tone rang in his ears for the nth time.
[Ding! Congratulations on unlocking the attribute usage! Come to the homepage to check it out!]
Feng Zhibei stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
“…”
——No, why can I unlock the attributes by talking nonsense? !
