Chapter 203 Mizuki Private High School (Part 75)
The next two days were uneventful, to some extent.
In addition, two players will be selected for after-school tutoring every night.
Not surprisingly, these four people are from the remaining six players.
Beixi and Nanhuan's scores helped, allowing the players from Guild One and Guild Two to firmly occupy the top eight positions. Of course, she also asked Twelve to tell those players about the after-school tutoring process that Yang Yina had experienced before, and reminded them to use fire attacks.
Every night there would still be monster suckers coming to mess up the dormitory, but since a player was injured on the first night, no one was injured in the following days.
The survival rate of after-school tutoring also dropped from one-quarter to one-half, but injuries are inevitable. The situation of two players is almost the same as Yang Yina's.
Although Twelve had been taking good care of Yang Yina, her health was decreasing little by little as time went by, and her physical condition was getting worse and worse. There was no good spot on her skin, and her whole body was like a layer of purple skin. She had completely lost consciousness, and Twelve had to work hard to call her before her pupils would react a little, but she never showed any other attack capabilities.
The calm of the past two days did not make the players feel relaxed. On the contrary, they felt like they were killing someone with a blunt knife, because they could not figure out what the system or the copy was trying to do, and the lives of the players around them were slipping away little by little. This feeling was not good.
This state continued until the morning of the third day.
Everyone noticed that Yang Yina, who could have held on for another day, suddenly recovered miraculously, and all the abnormalities in her body seemed to disappear in an instant.
Whether it was the scars or bruises on her skin, they seemed to have never existed. Her originally unclear consciousness also miraculously returned to normal. Except for the occasional abnormal movements and no change in her health points, she looked no different from the previous Yang Yina.
Nan Huan and Bei Xi naturally did not believe such a thing, and they looked at Liu Shen at the same time. It was obvious that the other party had started using his skills to check on Yang Yina's condition since he discovered that Yang Yina was abnormal. Now seeing the gazes of Bei Xi and Nan Huan, he frowned and shook his head at them.
Bei Xi followed Liu Shen out of Yang Yina's bedroom and winked at President Barbie. The latter understood and temporarily sent the two to the living room on the grounds that Yang Yina had not fully recovered yet, forbidding them to be so close to Yang Yina.
"Yang Yina's emotions were already very weak, but the previous eagerness to grow had taken over."
Liu Shen gave the answer without waiting for Bei Xi to ask, "As you can see, her body didn't heal itself, but the parasite has been able to control her body. As you can see, although it's not very good at it, it has a strong learning ability." Liu Shen paused here. Everyone understood the meaning behind his words.
After all, Nan Huan had just seen that the parasite that temporarily controlled Yang Yina's body took only a few minutes to go from walking stiffly at the beginning to gradually moving smoothly. With such an amazing learning ability, Nan Huan was not sure whether it was because it took control of Yang Yina's body and inherited her learning ability, or because it had a strong learning ability itself.
"Given Yang Yina's current health, she can only hold on for another day. If we still can't solve this problem by this time tomorrow morning, the parasite will probably completely take over Yang Yina's body."
After calculation and taking medicine, Yang Yina's remaining life span can only last until tomorrow morning.
Nan Huan was also aware of this, but the key point was that they had tried many methods and props in the past two days, but they were temporarily unable to remove the parasite from Yang Yina's body.
"Not only that," Bei Xi obviously thought further, "Do you think the person who turned Shuimu High School into what it is now, spent so much effort, just to make the parasite look like a student and attend classes on campus?"
Although they couldn't figure out the intentions of the person behind the scenes for the time being, and the system and other side quests didn't reveal any clues, the three of them knew it wouldn't be that simple.
"Although the parasite has not shown any aggressive behavior for the time being, it is no longer dominated by Yang Yina, so we have to let our players be careful to avoid any unexpected situations."
A few minutes later, Liu Shen informed President Barbie and other players of the news, and reminded everyone to be careful of being backstabbed while protecting Yang Yina.
Just when everyone was worried and even a little anxious about the inaction of the copy, a turning point finally appeared.
"We will enter the testing phase again today," the life teacher appeared in the dormitory early in the morning with an indescribable excitement on her face. Her arrival was a little sudden. After all, she had disappeared for several days after Bei Xi and Nan Huan came to her house that day.
As expected, when Nan Huan was puzzled, the life teacher changed the subject and said, "According to the schedule arranged by the school, we were supposed to re-enter the mock exam stage today, but because the freshmen of this year performed so well, the schedule today has to be slightly adjusted."
She paid no attention to the players' frowns and continued speaking what she thought was interesting.
Nan Huan was not surprised, but relieved. They were not afraid of any changes now, but they were worried that the people behind the scenes could still keep calm. Only then would there be a turning point after the changes. Nan Huan understood this principle.
"The two exams in the morning remain the same, and the credits will be counted towards the total score, but I have to remind you to seize the last chance and do your best. After all, once the Parent Open Day in the afternoon comes, your parents will see your results."
Nan Huan's mind had automatically skipped over the content regarding the exam, and focused on the words "Parents' Open Day". She understood a little bit more, no wonder the other party had been unwilling to reveal when they could go home, it turned out that they were waiting here.
Following this, Nan Huan immediately thought of another thing. She looked up suddenly and happened to meet the gaze of the life teacher.
"Of course, the school has also prepared a variety of activities for the Parents' Open Day. In addition, what is important to you is that students who cannot meet the school's requirements will be ordered to drop out and be taken back by their parents, regardless of whether they are new or old students."
No one believed that the activities mentioned by the life teacher were just to appreciate the school environment. Now Yang Yina has become like this, and some students in the school are just monsters in the appearance of students. What kind of people will be taken out by their parents then?
"You are very lucky. This is the school's first parent open day. I believe everything will go well."
After leaving her last words, the life teacher left wearing her high heels.
The players all thought of the parents who sent them off on the first day. Except for Nan Huan, whose family background was no different from the real life, the family conditions of others were obviously much better, but the figures of their parents were not much different. At this point, they finally understood why the initial environment of this campus book was like this.
"But isn't everything in the dungeon fake? Even if we let these monsters leave the school, it won't have any impact on us in reality, right?"
Mocha Meng didn't quite understand where the solemn emotions of others came from. She admitted that her parents in this copy were indeed no different from those in real life, but from the moment she entered the game, she warned herself that everything in the game was fake and all data. It was this idea that supported her for so long.
Twelve understood what Mocha Meng meant, and she had even held the same idea before, but after all, she had followed the eldest lady and the president and had gone through several copies, so her attitude had long since changed.
"What if everything in the copy is not fake, and they are all living people?"
She had witnessed the abnormal evolution in the perfect new world with her own eyes, and watched the eldest lady save the entire new world, so Twelve did not think that everything here was fake.
"What do you mean?" Mocha Meng didn't understand. "If it's not fake, could it be real? This is a game, we are the players, and the rest of us are just a bunch of virtual data?"
"Then do you think President Chaka is like Data?" Twelve asked back.
Well, Mocha Meng really couldn't say it was similar in all conscience. After all, she had never seen an NPC who could be selected to enter the mission directly. Moreover, according to the eldest lady's statement afterwards, the task of activating the system was only completed thanks to President Chaka.
"In our last instance, the game instance collapsed because Fengmen Ridge was successfully sealed off. In the last instance, the young lady successfully saved a new world. She even brought a dog out of the first instance she entered. It is now kept in our guild in the rest area. If even a dog is not a simple data, do you still think that the NPCs here are all data?"
Twelve's voice did not answer, but his words were clear and logical, leaving Mocha Meng speechless.
President Barbie now understands why President Pink and President Alice are willing to cooperate with President Yi. They must have already sent a message that the game they originally thought was not a simple game.
"I have always wondered why the person behind the scenes wanted to turn the original Shuimu High School into the current Shuimu Private High School?"
When everyone was briefly lost in thought because of Twelve's words, Bei Xi suddenly brought up another matter.
This topic seemed to have nothing to do with what they were discussing now, and after the task of activating the system was completed, everyone automatically ignored this issue.
Now that the president brought it up again, no one thought that she was just acting on a whim, and some even couldn't help but think about what she had asked.
But after all, these words were incoherent and they couldn't figure out what the president wanted to say for a moment.
The eldest lady standing aside gave a hint, "This school is a well-known private high school in Shuimu City. Whether it is business celebrities or nobles, basically all the children of the famous families in Shuimu City are here."
"They have spread their reputation. No matter what kind of students they accept, they will send out the same kind of students."
"Does that person want to control the entire Shuimu City?"
Twelve finally figured out the deeper meaning behind the eldest lady's words.
This kind of crazy criticism of villains, which can only be seen in TV dramas, made Twelve marvel. "She is so powerful, she can just let the monster attack directly. Why did she go to so much trouble to do such a thing?"
Twelve's idea is simple and crude. This is equivalent to a normal world. The villains are powerful and have manpower. Why should they act so roundabout?
"Perhaps she didn't choose not to do this, but she couldn't do it. The system had to maintain a balance between players and dungeons, and there were some restrictions on the people behind the scenes, so she didn't have many ways to achieve her goal. Or maybe she tried other methods, but failed."
Nan Huan glanced at Chaka when he said this, then retracted his gaze, "Besides, acting this way will reduce the risk to a minimum. You have all seen what Yang Yina looks like. If we can't find a solution today, it won't be long before she becomes like those students who were transformed by monsters, and will never be able to reoccupy her own body. Her parents will not doubt that the child they took back from school is no longer their own child."
"Currently, the parasite in Yang Yina's body has not shown any possibility of infection or secondary parasitism, but no one can guarantee this outside of school. This method of occupying a city without abolishing the power of gray must have been waiting for a long time."
"Of course, this is just speculation at the moment. It depends on the triggering of the final main mission. Just keep an eye on it. No matter what the situation is, the premise is to ensure your own safety."
Bei Xi did not comment on what Twelve had just said, but just asked everyone to be careful.
The morning conversation didn’t last too long, after all, the exam schedule was very tight.
She didn’t know if it was Nan Huan’s illusion, but she always felt that today, whether in the classroom or on campus, there was a depressing feeling as if a storm was about to come.
During the entire exam, Nan Huan was on edge, fearing that something might go wrong if he wasn't careful. But unexpectedly, nothing happened. If the life teacher hadn't given a heads-up in advance, today would have been just an ordinary day.
The changes started after the exam.
[Dear students, in order to welcome the Parents Open Day, the school has prepared a series of activities in advance. Of course, for students with poor academic performance, this is also the last project for you to strive for extra points. Please participate actively. ]
[The masquerade for parents and classmates will be held in the auditorium later. Please arrive on time. ]
The broadcast went online on time, and the event officially began with the faint melodious music.
Compared to the imagined joy and excitement of the classmates, they all seemed very calm, with only a certain determination revealed in their eyes.
The broadcast specifically mentioned new and old classmates, so how could the system let the players go?
As soon as the broadcast sounded, a familiar prompt tone rang in Nan Huan's mind.
【bite--
Congratulations to the player for triggering the main quest - Masquerade.
This is the first Parent Open Day held by Shuimu Private High School. In order to allow parents to have a deeper understanding of their children's school life, the school has prepared a unique masquerade ball. As a freshman, you are naturally happy to go.
The lights are swaying and the dance music is graceful.
Of course, it attracted more than just parents and students, but it was obvious that because this was a masquerade ball, all the dancers who entered covered their real faces.
For those students who are about to leave school, this is their last carnival, but also a new beginning in a sense.
For those parents who are eager to try, this is an occasional indulgence for them, but also an indispensable attempt.
Freshmen are requested to choose ten old classmates to complete the task of exchanging dance partners and stay awake until the dance ends.
Tip: Be sure to choose the right dance partner.
Tip: Please don’t overindulge. 】
