Chapter 6: As expected, she's both materialistic and cowardly.
Ning Wanwan hesitated for a moment. She had only received the plot outline and did not know the details. "Is this character also important?"
"Of course! You'll have a lot of screen time!" the system replied without hesitation.
[The male lead's best friend is someone who will lend a hand when he's in danger and support him when he's up to no good. He's strong in both ability and character, making him one of the male lead's most important allies—how could he not be important!]
[Furthermore, it's extremely rare for a lone wolf protagonist like the overpowered protagonists of this world, who only know how to survive and kill, to have any good brothers!]
Ning Wanwan roughly understood some of it.
"Anyway, he's just a supporting male character, right? It seems that it was right for me to ignore him and run away earlier."
The system agrees with this point.
Avoid contact with dangerous people or storylines that are unrelated to you. Don't get involved if possible. And don't expect to rule the world; the protagonists, supporting characters, and villains in an SSS-level world are all too ruthless…
As a weak, ordinary person, your only goal is to maintain and guide the plot, and survive until the finale. Don't even dream of anything more.
Ning Wanwan: "I know."
[However, logically speaking, you're just a minor character with no real interaction with him. Your few lines of dialogue are still to come. How come he's noticed you now?] The system muttered to itself.
It had no hope of getting the cheat code it had drawn before, and hadn't even considered it.
Ning Wanwan didn't want to think too much about it. As long as things were over, that was fine. Anyway, she and Zhou Yanyao weren't in the same class, and she probably wouldn't have any contact with each other in the future.
"Who knows?"
When she was almost at school, Ning Wanwan finished eating the half of the steamed bun. She carefully stuffed the other bun into the outside of her schoolbag to avoid it being crushed.
This is her dinner.
I only have 81 cents left in my account, so I have to be frugal.
As soon as Ning Wanwan stepped into the campus, she smelled a faint, enticing fragrance.
Most people would simply assume that some plants in the campus vegetation have blossomed or borne fruit.
She knew that this was a mutated fruit in the school where the male protagonist was at the beginning of the story. This kind of thing was a treasure that would be fought over by countless people after the world changed.
The male protagonist, before most people could even react, keenly sensed something was wrong and preemptively seized the mature mutated fruit, laying the foundation for his own strength.
It has to be said that some things are meant to be enjoyed by others. As for Ning Wanwan herself, she admitted she couldn't react as quickly and decisively as the male lead.
Some things become very obvious once you notice them. Ning Wanwan tried to ignore the faint fragrance wafting in the wind, walked into the classroom, and sat down in her seat.
Everything went smoothly. The original owner only interacted with wealthy people and didn't have many friends. So when Ning Wanwan looked down and didn't look at people, her classmates usually didn't come up to greet her.
Lin Ruowei, who sat at the table in front of her, glanced at her sideways before continuing to touch up her makeup in front of the mirror.
"I slept well last night," she said, but her tone clearly didn't reflect genuine concern about whether Ning Wanwan had slept well.
Ning Wanwan gave a soft "hmm," took out her Chinese language textbook from her schoolbag, and couldn't help but glance at Lin Ruowei a few more times.
The other person was very bright and beautiful, and had a somewhat arrogant and domineering demeanor. She was clearly not the kind of rich girl who was easy to get along with.
Lin Ruowei is a wealthy young lady whom the original owner has been trying to please recently. The original owner is acting as her follower, always at her beck and call.
Most importantly, Lin Ruowei was a cannon fodder character who attracted a lot of hatred in the early part of the novel, and her presence was much stronger than Ning Wanwan's.
Because she is a gold digger who is materialistic, opportunistic, and broke off the engagement with the male lead!
Not only did she forcibly break off her engagement with the male lead, but she also made it public knowledge that the male lead was a toad trying to eat swan meat, making him a laughing stock. She also allowed her sycophantic admirers to suppress and humiliate the male lead.
In short, it's all about engaging in reckless behavior that leads to certain death.
Lin Ruowei's reckless actions naturally led to a very bad end.
As Lin Ruowei's follower, the original owner of this body naturally humiliated the male protagonist as well. In fact, due to certain similarities in their backgrounds, the original owner was quite proactive in humiliating the male protagonist.
So it's understandable that he died a tragic death in the end.
If Ning Wanwan wants to survive to the end, she naturally can't follow the original plot and humiliate the male lead in person like Lin Ruowei did.
She planned to avoid plot points related to the male lead as much as possible, and even avoid meeting him altogether, to prevent any trouble from happening.
Socially awkward Ning Wanwan felt that this was the perfect solution.
As morning reading time began, the sounds of reading and reciting gradually filled the classroom.
Ning Wanwan also opened her book and looked at the textbook for a while, her eyelids gradually sticking together.
The original owner was exhausted from yesterday's day, affected by the recent transmigration, and tossed and turned last night. As a senior high school student, she had to get up early and only slept for five hours, which was far from enough.
Moreover, reading and studying is such a hypnotic thing. Ning Wanwan couldn't help but think, then lowered her head and pinched her cheek, trying to wake herself up.
A student's academic performance in their senior year of high school almost entirely determines their future. However, in the novel, after a cataclysmic change, many social rules are reshuffled, and the law of the jungle becomes the ultimate truth.
No matter how good your grades are on paper, they can't compare to a rare fruit that can enhance your abilities.
Thinking of the exotic fruit, Ning Wanwan could smell the fragrance in the breeze again.
It actually smells quite nice.
Ning Wanwan thought about it for a while, then read the text aloud for a bit before feeling sleepy again.
When Zhao Rui arrived, he saw Ning Wanwan, who was drowsy.
My head kept nodding, almost hitting the table several times. Then I forced myself to keep my eyes open and stare at the textbook. After a few seconds, I would repeat the nodding motion.
Zhao Rui glanced at her for a few seconds, then, without thinking twice, shoved Ning Wanwan.
"Hey, move aside."
With that force, Ning Wanwan's head, which had been nodding off in drowsiness, slammed against the table with a thud.
To be honest, it hurts a little.
Ning Wanwan fully woke up, covered her forehead, looked up at Zhao Rui, and recognized him as her deskmate based on the original owner's memories.
It was also the rich second-generation who forced the original owner to choose a dare and kicked her out of the party last night.
This person has always looked down on the original owner of this body, often teasing and ordering her around, and laughing at her. If it weren't for the fact that she was Lin Ruowei's follower and was relatively obedient and useful, given Zhao Rui's personality, he probably would have gone even further.
Zhao Rui is also a minor character in the story. He is Lin Ruowei's suitor and causes a lot of trouble for the male lead in the early stages in order to avenge Lin Ruowei.
Needless to say, his fate was even more tragic than Lin Ruowei's.
It just goes to show that cannon fodder always ends up in clusters. Zhao Rui, who looks down on the original owner so much and thinks the original owner's status is worlds apart from theirs, probably never imagined that in the novel, he too would end up as cannon fodder.
"What are you standing there for?" Zhao Rui raised his eyebrows, thinking that this nobody was really too big for his britches. He had been acting strangely ever since he got back last night, and now he dared to ignore him.
And for some reason, the look he received just now had a meaning that made him very uncomfortable.
If Zhao Rui is unhappy, then those who are unhappy with him shouldn't expect to have an easy time either.
He squeezed into the seat through the gap behind Ning Wanwan, and began flipping through the desk without any regard for the noise. The desk was shaking, and he even crossed his legs, making it impossible for Ning Wanwan to sit properly.
Although it was a morning reading session, no one else in the class would raise any objections. Zhao Rui's family was wealthy, and he had many lackeys who fawned over him, making him practically the tyrant of the entire class.
Ning Wanwan could only endure it.
She knew the man was doing it on purpose.
"Did I offend him?" she asked the system in her mind, puzzled.
The system was also confused, not seeing anything wrong with Ning Wanwan: [Never mind her, she's just a cannon fodder with bad character anyway, probably just out of her mind.]
Ning Wanwan strongly agreed.
Since I can't fall asleep, I might as well read a book.
She didn't even ask Zhao Rui a single question; she simply focused on reading the text.
This prompted Zhao Rui to scoff again.
She really is both materialistic and cowardly.
She hadn't come up to talk to him all day, which made him feel a little strange.
After all, the worse his attitude was before, the more she liked to try to please him and improve their relationship.
Now, she was quietly reading the text aloud, paying him no attention whatsoever.
