Chapter 59 It'll only feel better to teach you a lesson myself [VIP]
Ziyu and Haiyue finished their meal in the cafeteria.
"Why didn't you greet Qin Yuzhen today?" Although they had finished eating, Haiyue bought himself some extra fruit and muttered to himself, "Besides, you don't seem to be in the same mood as yesterday."
Ziyu didn't know how to explain it to Haiyue.
Although he had given up on the mission, he knew perfectly well that as a humanities-oriented office worker who had always followed the rules and had no motivation, there was no way he could find a way out of this game, and he was prepared to spend his whole life here.
But even so, Ziyu was still a little dazed when faced with these NPCs who were already pre-programmed.
Does he have to say that he was an NPC just like you guys a while ago, but now he's a player starting his third playthrough, which is why he's different?
Fortunately, Haiyue was just saying it casually and didn't really want to know the answer.
Looking at Haiyue's carefree attitude, Ziyu couldn't help but wish that she could really be an NPC.
That way, you won't have to think about it so much.
The cafeteria at University A is quite far from the dormitories; it takes more than 20 minutes to walk there and back, passing through a small path along the way.
Haiyue received an invitation from a friend halfway through his journey. He told him he was going out to have fun and then they parted ways.
Ziyu walked onto the path alone.
His thoughts were still in disarray.
One moment he's thinking of Qin Yuzhen, who spent three months with him when he was blind last week and proposed to him under the fireworks; the next he's thinking of Qin Yuzhen, who lost his warmth in his arms; then he's thinking of Tang Zuo, holding a gun with a sinister expression; and then he's thinking of Ming Yu, who claims to be reborn...
In the end, all her thoughts converged on the man lying in the hospital bed, looking at her gently.
Ziyu thought to himself that he had worked so hard for so long.
Year after year, one playthrough after another.
The money is gone, and so is the possibility of recovery.
Perhaps everything he experienced was just a dream.
"You country bumpkin!"
The boy's sarcastic voice rang out from behind.
Qin Peng, whom he had crippled in his past life, was now standing perfectly fine in front of him. Perhaps he was too confident, because he didn't even bring his proud underlings. He arrogantly cursed, "Ignorant fools should stay in their shells and not bother my brother. The fake goods you bought with all your savings are not even worth as much as what I scraped off my fingernails."
"You really don't care about being scorned. Your stench of poverty is making me want to vomit." Qin Peng sneered, his dark circles from excessive indulgence making him look weak and ugly. He cursed, "Don't you know your own worth? You want to pursue my brother? Do you know that my brother can only be with Xiao Qiao in the future? As for you..."
He looked Ziyu up and down, his gaze catching the simple backpack Ziyu was carrying, and he sneered, "Even if you wanted to be my brother's dog, you wouldn't even make the cut!"
Have you said enough?
Contrary to Qin Peng's expectations, Ziyu would run away in shame and anger after hearing his angry words.
Ziyu looked at him expressionlessly, her tone icy.
"Ha! You stinking country bumpkin, what are you pretending for?" Qin Peng tried his best to maintain a fierce appearance, but for some reason, looking at Ziyu in this state, his legs felt a faint pain.
"I told you! Don't even think about trying to eat a swan! My brother would never be interested in you!"
Ziyu's lips curled up slightly. Counting the three playthroughs in reality and the game world, his mental age was already a full twelve years older than Qin Peng's.
Looking at Qin Peng's expression, he was not angry at all, but found it a little funny.
idiot.
Ziyu suddenly asked, "Are there security cameras here?"
Upon hearing Ziyu's words, Qin Peng immediately straightened his back and sneered, "Of course not. What, pretty boy, are you scared?"
"Let me tell you, if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I might let you go. Otherwise, I'll beat you so badly you'll never dare to come near Qin Yu again..."
Before Qin Peng could finish speaking, a vicious punch landed straight on his stomach!
Ziyu's eyes still held that gentle and kind demeanor, yet her actions were ruthless and showed no mercy.
There are many children and few teachers in the orphanage, and the children will sometimes fight when the teachers are not paying attention.
Ziyu just doesn't like fighting, but that doesn't mean he can't fight.
"Damn it, Ziyu, how dare you hit me!"
Qin Peng scrambled to his feet, barely managing to catch his breath and vent his anger before being dragged back and brutally beaten again.
He was already physically weak and lacked energy, and his fake muscles couldn't exert any strength at all. In the past, people were afraid of him simply because they were afraid of the group of henchmen behind him.
I don't know what's wrong with this NPC, or if he underestimated the gentle appearance of the "submissive" character, but he actually dared to provoke him.
"...I was wrong! I was wrong! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"
Ziyu aimed every move at the most painful spots on the body, causing Qin Peng to scream in pain. He called out "Big Brother" and "Dad" and no longer looked down on Ziyu.
"If you dare to come again, I'll cripple both your legs."
Ziyu's tone was icy, and Qin Peng felt his legs, which had been throbbing slightly before, ache even more.
In a daze, he seemed to see himself at the airport being stuffed in a sack and beaten by an unknown man until his legs were crippled. He was furious but couldn't find out who it was.
He always had a feeling, and Ziyu always kept his word.
Qin Peng trembled all over, not daring to utter any harsh words, and limped away, stumbling and crawling.
Having finally given Qin Peng a good beating in front of him, Ziyu felt instantly refreshed, and all the frustration he had been forcing himself to endure in order to follow the plot disappeared.
Sure enough, it would be more satisfying to beat this idiot up with my own hands!
Ziyu felt that without the constraints of the plot or the limitations of the system, he could do whatever he wanted...
This feeling is so amazing!
For the first time, Ziyu, who had never broken the rules—at most, she would exploit some loopholes outside the rules—realized that life could indeed break the rules at some point.
In this game world, he doesn't need to rush to accumulate wealth to prepare for going home, he doesn't need to adopt a humble attitude in every situation, and he doesn't need to think about work all the time.
No one will control him; he is the system, the only protagonist!
Ziyu opened the system panel—which now completely belonged to him—and the value representing the plot deviation remained at 100%, indicating that the plot was no longer important.
This means that he can really do whatever he wants!

The young man who had always worked hard to pursue his dreams finally fell silent. He no longer had to worry about those inferior imitations, the coincidences that the young man had deliberately created, or the teasing from those around him.
Qin Yuzhen refused the items the housekeeper offered to help him sleep and lay sullenly on the bed.
That's strange.
A few days ago, he heard that Qin Peng had made things difficult for the young man under the guise of helping him, but ended up being taught a lesson instead. Qin Peng made a scene, saying that he wanted the other party to pay the price.
Qin Yuzhen, contrary to his usual behavior, took the initiative to tell Qin Peng to get back to the Qin family home at the old Qin family residence, and asked his uncle to discipline him properly. His words were so sharp that even the usually lawless Qin Peng trembled.
Qin Peng mustered his courage and pointed at Xia Xiaoqiao, who happened to be visiting the Qin family, and said to him, "Why are you protecting him like this! Have you forgotten Brother Xiaoqiao? Brother Xiaoqiao hasn't left yet!"
Qin Yuzhen frowned: "What are you talking about?"
When Xia Xiaoqiao realized that she was involved in the matter, she quickly stood up and tried to act as a peacemaker.
Qin Peng said, "Isn't it that Ziyu who's been clinging to you? Brother Qiao, don't you know? There's this guy who's a year younger than you who's been trying to get close to my brother and break you two up!"
Uncle Qin's expression changed. The younger generation couldn't see the situation between Qin Yuzhen and Xia Xiaoqiao, but the elders could see it clearly.
The Xia family did indeed intend to form a marriage alliance with the Qin family, but the Qin family absolutely could not tolerate their only heir being a homosexual!
Xia Xiaoqiao also realized that it was not a good time to discuss this in this environment, and was interrupted just as she was about to speak.
"I have no interest in Xia Xiaoqiao."
Qin Yuzhen frowned, looking incredulous: "He and I are just friends. I don't like him. Qin Peng, are you delusional or have a hysteria?"
Qin Peng stood there dumbfounded, and even Xia Xiaoqiao looked embarrassed.
Qin Yuzhen showed no concern for the two of them, his tone cold: "Qin Peng, if you ever use my name to bully others again, you will bear the consequences."
Afterwards, Qin Peng and his family, along with Xia Xiaoqiao, all went home, leaving only Qin Peng himself and the family's servants in the large Qin family home.
After saying those words, Qin Yuzhen himself was somewhat incredulous.
Although Qin Peng was indeed using his own name to bully others, in the past he would have criticized the other party, but he would never have been so forceful.
There was even a hint of her protecting the young man in her words.
Qin Yuzhen couldn't understand it, and his arrogant personality wouldn't allow him to acknowledge that last remaining possibility, so he simply closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.
Deep sleep.
Qin Yuzhen hadn't dreamed in a long time, but tonight, on this night when so many things had happened, he dreamed of Ziyu.
The stories in dreams are completely different from those in reality.
In reality, Ziyu had stopped trying to get close to him a few days earlier, but in his dream, Ziyu kept pursuing him until two months before Xia Xiaoqiao decided to study abroad, when Ziyu finally confessed his feelings to him.
In the dream, Qin Yuzhen looked at the anxious young man standing in front of him. In Ziyu's eyes, he had a stern face and coldly agreed to the young man's request for love.
Ziyu's eyes lit up with surprise, and she hugged him tightly, pressing her warm cheek against the crook of his neck.
In the dream, Ziyu was clearly passionate towards him and had been pursuing him relentlessly. No matter how he treated him outside, even if he broke with his family and lost all his wealth for him, Ziyu was willing to accompany him to make a comeback.
...
In my dream, I was unaware that I was a guest.
Reality and dreams are blurred.
On campus, Qin Yuzhen once again met Ziyu's gaze as she walked to class.
At this moment, the young man, who was usually aloof from strangers, was surrounded by another boy.
And the young man who had been thinking about him so much recently, even in his dreams, actually accepted the boy's advances!
wrong.
The story shouldn't be like this.
