Chapter 3 Chapter 3 (Catching Bugs) "The Superpower" has been updated...
The Supernatural has been updated.
Reader A, who was lying in bed, saw this app notification and sat up unconsciously and cheered. Halfway through shouting, she suddenly remembered that it was already midnight, so she covered her mouth like a thief and looked towards the door guiltily.
There was no sound outside the door, so it seemed that my parents were not woken up. Reader A touched his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
How can you blame her for staying up late? It’s all because Xia Ri-sensei’s new series is so good!
Xia Ri, a new cartoonist with no background, no one knew his name three months ago.
Three months later, his comic "The Superpower" was published as a new work in an old comic magazine. It caught the attention of countless people after only less than 10 episodes, and his name began to appear frequently on various social networks.
I have to say, "The Superpower" is really good. Because reader A gradually changed from reading the latest episode during lunch break the next day to catching up on the episode on time.
Just like now.
Reader A eagerly clicked on the latest chapter.
The latest episode continues from the last episode. After the wanted criminal was sent to the police station by the male and female protagonists, the camera turned and a thin man appeared in the picture. He murmured angrily, "It's all their fault, it's all their fault," and ran into the alley.
[This must be the accomplice of the wanted criminal. His ability should be auxiliary. During the previous fight, he was clearly behind the scenes giving the wanted criminal a buff. 】
[It seems like this guy is going to continue causing trouble, so Zebao has a reason to leave town. 】
[Are you going to reproduce Xiaoxing? hhh]
[The food delivery guy is here!] 】
The wanted criminal's accomplice discussed in the barrage turned into the alley next page and bumped into someone. The person he hit was not hurt, but he fell down.
The person who was hit only had his shoulders and lower body drawn. We don’t know what his face looks like, nor can we tell his gender. After being hit, he did not get angry. Instead, he kindly helped the wanted criminal up and said, "I'm sorry."
The wanted criminal looked very bad because he had been hit, and it looked like he was about to attack someone.
[The wanted criminal's accomplice looks like he's going to kill someone...]
[This passerby won’t just disappear, right? 】
[Help, is his accomplice really going to run away?] I can guess that he will come back to hurt someone important to Zebao. I don’t want to watch it anymore.]
Just let him escape like this? Reader A frowned and couldn't help but worry.
However, on the next page, the mysterious man who was hit continued: "Although we have no grudges against each other, you want to take revenge on those two children, right?"
After seeing this sentence, reader A clenched his phone.
Isn't this a passerby but a new character? !
She held up her phone with her face close to the screen, and the comments on the screen had the same idea as her, all asking if it was a new character. Reader A read on expectantly, but in the next frame, the scene turned back to the protagonist's home.
This is really tantalizing. Reader A thought about the new character and continued reading with a sense of loss.
Well, the male protagonist is going to be beaten again this time.
Um? The hero's mother didn't even notice that there was something wrong with him.
Um? ! What's going on with this note? It's signed by the Dark Knight, which is obviously a code name.
[This is the new character mentioned earlier!] 】
[The Dark Knight is so handsome]
[The male protagonist’s dark knight? It turns out to be the male protagonist. He must have some unknown background! 】
[Am I the only one who thinks this might be written to Zebao’s mother? Look at his fucking expression, it's obvious something's wrong. 】
[Subduing the criminal and putting him at the doorstep of the person he is protecting, this is so cool]
[Love it, love it, I declare that the Dark Knight can be my new husband for a second]
Reader A looked at the comments and nodded involuntarily. She slid her index finger and was about to read the next page when a prompt "This chapter has ended" popped up.
What? It’s gone again. Reader A sighed, put his phone under his pillow, and fell asleep reluctantly.
In the comics forum, the discussion about the Dark Knight quietly occupied a place.
-
The bed is the Jerusalem of office workers, the Shangri-La of students, and the holy place in everyone’s heart.
Ren Xiaoyue lay on the soft bed, and after reading the update provided by the system, she turned over.
"Not bad, you draw me quite handsome." Although there was no face drawn.
After reading the comics, Ren Xiaoyue browsed the forum again. Most of the posts about her were discussing whether she was the male protagonist's dark knight. Although there was no useful information, it brought her a small amount of popularity.
There is one thing that deserves Ren Xiaoyue's attention.
"I say... System, aren't the things happening in this world and the comics updated at the same time?"
At this moment, she has taken a steam train to the city where the Academy for Superpowers is located. She used the information in the comic's synopsis to get herself into the academy and is preparing to report as a teacher tomorrow. The comic has only been updated to what she did a week ago.
[Yes, there is a certain time difference between the two worlds. 】The system acknowledged it neatly.
“How is the time difference calculated?”
[The time difference is not fixed and there is no specific calculation method. 】
It's annoying because she can't get timely details from comic updates, and it's hard to determine the exact time of events from plots without her.
Forget it, one should not be too greedy. Ren Xiaoyue pinched the bridge of her nose and went over the details of the academy chapter in her mind again.
This part of the plot in the academy can be roughly divided into two parts. One is the first semester, during which the male protagonist met the second male lead, and thus formed a feud with the second male lead's younger brother who had been bullying him.
The following plot is a battle between the two sides, with the final exam results as the stakes. Of course, the male protagonist wins, and the second male protagonist's younger brother is willing to admit defeat and stop harassing the second male protagonist.
Another is that in the second semester, the college added practical classes, where students worked in groups of three with a tutor to complete tasks assigned by the college. In this plot, the male protagonist and his group resolved the knot in the heart of their instructor.
Ren Xiaoyue's initial plan was to be a marginal OB in the first semester, hanging around in front of the second male lead when she had nothing to do, giving the male lead some special lessons at the end of the semester and helping them review, and in the second semester, she would make appearances in a few tasks written in detailed outlines.
She didn't have much room to play in the first semester, and if she really wanted to intervene, it would only be the plot of the second male lead and his younger brother. Judging from the detailed outline, this incident was the main plot of the first semester.
Speaking of which, the relationship between the second male lead and his younger brother is also a mess.
The second male lead, Bertram, and his younger brother, Berend, are twins. They had a good relationship when they were young until something happened.
Bertram was not as calm as he is now in his childhood. He was very curious and liked to explore the world. At the instigation of his half-brother, he dodged the housekeeper and secretly went out on an adventure with his well-behaved and sensible younger brother.
Then as expected, they had an accident.
They ran into people from the villain organization doing bad things. While hiding, the second male lead accidentally stepped on something and made a noise.
The villains noticed someone nearby and started looking for him immediately. They only found the second male lead's younger brother who was hiding farther out. Then they evacuated because the police came to search.
Originally, those people wanted to kill the man to silence him, but they recognized that the second male lead's brother was a child of a noble, so they changed their strategy to kidnapping and extortion - they were prepared to kill him regardless of whether they were paid or not.
The experience of the second male lead's younger brother can be imagined. Fortunately, he was found alive in the end, but when he was found, he had obviously suffered inhuman torture and even left with sequelae. The second male lead's younger brother can only be a low-level psychic for the rest of his life and cannot advance.
After that, the two of them seemed to have changed their personalities. The second male lead became taciturn, and the second male lead's younger brother became willful and arrogant, pushing all the things he should have done to the second male lead.
The second male lead thinks it is his fault that his brother has become like this and does not resist. This twisted relationship continued until the male protagonist helped them to untie their knots, allowing them to choose to let go.
Frankly speaking, if she could really act as a caring sister and guide the second male lead, she would probably be able to gain a lot of popularity. However, Ren Xiaoyue has never studied psychology, so it’s better to leave this job to the male protagonist.
So she has a lot of free time. Ren Xiaoyue seemed to be thinking about something.
-
"Teacher Xiaoyue, come this way."
The teacher with his work badge led Ren Xiaoyue into the school gate and carefully introduced the basic situation of the school to her. Ren Xiaoyue followed the teacher obediently, covering her mouth and coughing softly from time to time.
The two were stopped halfway through their walk. The blond man was wearing a flashy jacket and had hair gel on his head. He stood with his hands on his hips, in the path that Ren Xiaoyue had to pass.
"Hey, is she Zhe's new colleague?" the man said arrogantly.
The teacher who brought Ren Xiaoyue in pushed his glasses down with a painful expression. He approached the man and whispered, "Gretel, why haven't you given up yet?"
The man called Gretel opened his eyes wide and raised his voice unconsciously: "What do you mean? I was just having a friendly conversation with my new colleague. Hey, you...what's wrong with you?"
Before he could finish his words, Ren Xiaoyue had already started coughing heart-wrenchingly, her eyes red from coughing. It was not until the teacher who brought her in helped her get a water cup from her bag that she took the cup, drank the water, and then her coughing stopped.
During this time, Gretel stood by and wanted to help but couldn't. When Ren Xiaoyue put away the cup of water, Gretel's attitude was subtly different.
"Are you okay?" His voice was much softer.
"It's okay, it's just an old problem," Ren Xiaoyue smiled and shook her head, "Sir, was there anything you wanted to say just now?"
Gretel made a "hmm" sound, scratched his head, and said, "I heard there are new colleagues, so I came to see them. It's nothing serious, so I'll leave first and won't disturb you from getting familiar with the campus environment."
After saying that, he waved his hand in a nonchalant manner and walked away without looking back.
The teacher who brought Ren Xiaoyue in looked at Gretel and hesitated to speak. Finally, he just said to Ren Xiaoyue: "Come on, I will continue to show you around."
Ren Xiaoyue smiled and nodded, considerately not pursuing the matter further. When Ren Xiaoyue finished touring the campus and was taken to her workstation, she found a box of throat lozenges there. She looked at the box of candy, raised the corners of her lips, and casually put it in the drawer of her office.
Unexpectedly, the first character I met was Gretel.
A person who has been finding fault with the male protagonist's instructor, and was eventually implicated and killed by the male protagonist's teacher, but said that he did not blame the male protagonist's teacher.
I can take advantage of this incident to get close to Gretel later, Ren Xiaoyue thought happily. At this stage, her plan is mainly to get close to Gretel's rival, the male protagonist's instructor.
Ren Xiaoyue's gaze slid towards the man sitting in the corner of the office.
How about starting by sending desserts to build closer ties?
Three months later.
A new Monday, a new working day, and workers who are in tune with each other meet in the tea room. They chatted while washing the cups.
"I heard that Gretel asked for leave because Zhe was mad at her."
"This isn't the first time, is it? He's really persistent."
"Ahem, perseverance is a good quality. Eh? Where did you buy this bracelet? It's pretty nice."
"Xiao Yue helped me pick it out."
"Isn't she in poor health and can't hang out outside often?"
"It wasn't a planned appointment... we just happened to run into each other."
When the two people in the tea room returned to their workstations, one holding a cup of steaming hot coffee and the other holding a cup of tea with wolfberries, they saw the snacks on the table.
The small cakes in the plastic box are decorated with sweet cream and fresh fruits, which looks extremely tempting.
"Is it Xiaoyue again?" One of them turned to look at Xiaoyue's empty desk and asked the person next to him.
The colleague who was sitting at the workstation nodded and swallowed the cake in his mouth: "Xiao Yue said that she made too much during the weekend practice, so she gave everyone one. Just when you went to the tea room."
"Oh...she is so polite." The man put the cake in the corner of his desk with a smile, preparing to take it home after get off work.
This was the scene Zhe saw when he arrived at the office on time.
Some of his colleagues put the cakes away, while others were tasting them. This was a scene that would appear in the office every now and then after Xiaoyue joined the company.
A means used by people with connections to win people’s hearts.
He walked to his workstation silently and quietly, opened the plastic box covering the cake, picked up a piece with the fork inside, and put it in his mouth.
When the cream collided with his taste buds, Zhe's eyes lit up and he ate the cake much faster.
Mm, it smells so good.
I wonder if Xiaoyue would be willing if he paid her to bring him desserts every day?
