For example, in the previous instance, if it weren’t for his special physique, he would never have provoked so many hunters, nor would he have been exposed to them so quickly.
Instead, he would have had enough time to investigate and find the truth. After all, he speculated that the first three days of the game should have been relatively safe. Perhaps three days would have been enough for him to find clues.
Instead of spending all his time on self-preservation, he would have been able to focus on thinking about the clues.
Not only was the level of danger much higher, but it also consumed physical and mental energy. If he weren’t intelligent enough, he might have died several times already.
The system probably also thought it was unfair, so it said, [The player’s issue has been reported, and the game system has given the player a chance to exchange for an item].
[Item: Red Moon (B-grade item)
Exchange Points: 5000.
Effect: When worn, it hides special physique.]
Looking at the required exchange points, Ruan Qing was shocked. “Does a B-grade item require such a high number of points?”
He regretted a bit. He shouldn’t have used the S-grade item just to make the plan more stable. It was too wasteful.
The system explained, [This is a special item without usage restrictions, and the original exchange points were fifty thousand.]
Ruan Qing was tempted, but said, “I don’t have that many points.”
[Considering your special circumstances, the game system allows you to go into debt, but you must repay the points within three game rounds.]
The system paused and asked, [Do you want to exchange?]
Without any hesitation, Ruan Qing replied, “Exchange.”
After Ruan Qing finished speaking, his point balance instantly became -2200.
He also obtained something in his hand... an earring?
At the top was something like an earring with a gem-like red ruby, and below it hung a tassel.
Ruan Qing: “...”
Why was it an earring?
Just a moment ago, he was too focused on looking at the prop-related information, and Ruan Qing didn’t notice that the prop was actually an earring.
But even if he had noticed, there probably wouldn’t have been a choice.
Ruan Qing expressionlessly picked up the earring and pressed it directly on his left earlobe.
Because he pressed down forcefully like that, blood instantly flowed out, staining Ruan Qing’s fingertips.
【Do you want to enter the game’s main city space for a rest? You can rest for seven days after completing an instance.】
Ruan Qing had already heard the system mention the game’s main city space before.
After completing a game, players could choose to enter the game’s main city space. After seven days, they could play again. It was a gathering place for players where they couldn’t attack each other. Essentially, a safe zone.
Additionally, players could use points to purchase desired items from other players and even obtain information about game dungeon instances.
However, those weren’t the main points. The main point was, “Is food and accommodation free?”
System: 【Not for free.】
“Let’s proceed to the next instance,” Ruan Qing immediately spoke after hearing this. After all, he didn’t have any points at the moment.
***
【Welcome, players, to the instance “First High School.”】
【Once, First High School was the best high school in the city, with kind teachers and friendly students.】
【But starting from a certain day, First High School became somewhat strange.】
【It seems that students inexplicably disappear.】
【Objective: Survive for ten days or find the ‘culprit’.】
【Friendly reminder: Each player only has one chance to identify the ‘culprit’. Once wrongly identified, something bad will happen.~】
Ruan Qing lowered his gaze and furrowed his brows slightly as he looked at the information about the instance on his phone. Why was it another search for a person?
Students inexplicably disappearing?
Another serial killer? Find the culprit?
It seemed to be another suspenseful plot.
Ruan Qing was playing the role of a new freshman NPC in high school this time.
This NPC had a character that was arrogant and insolent, only doing two things every day.
The first thing was to bully others, and the second thing was to bully others with his little lackeys.
The targets of his bullying had no specific pattern.
Sometimes he bullied classmates, sometimes teachers, and sometimes even his own lackeys.
In short, it all depended on the mood of the original host.
In theory, with this kind of character, the original host should have been beaten to death long ago, but unfortunately, he had a very powerful backing.
His mother was a billionaire, and his father was a high-ranking official, involved in both business and politics. Most people would give some face to his parents.
Moreover, because the original host’s parents were busy with work and could not provide him with company, they compensate him materially without any limits, almost indulging him excessively. This had developed the original host’s unruly character.
Arrogant and insolent.
So no matter where the original host was, he almost always walked with an air of superiority, surrounded by a group of lackeys.
The original host was not a fool. He knew what kind of situations his parents could handle and what they could not. Even when he bullied others, he would never cross the line of killing.
He hadn’t even caused any serious injuries, mostly targeting people’s dignity and bullying them emotionally.
So far, nothing major had happened.
Originally, with his grades, the original host shouldn’t have been able to enter the best high school in the city, but because of his influential parents, he managed to get in.
Always bullying others...
Ruan Qing’s identity was not any better than the previous instance.
The original owner had no qualms about bullying others, and it’s hard to say when he might provoke that murderer.
It’s possible that Ruan Qing had already become the target of the murderer.
At this moment, Ruan Qing was in the restroom of the teaching building, with the next class being physical education.
Ruan Qing turned on the tap, washed his hands first, and then splashed water on his face, attempting to make himself more alert with the cold water.
After finishing washing up, Ruan Qing leaned against the sink and looked at himself in the mirror.
The slender youth in the mirror had incredibly smooth hair, a delicate jade-like face with water droplets sliding down, enhancing the fair and flawless skin. His long eyelashes trembled like feathers, and his big innocent eyes, accompanied by its slight tilt at the end and a beauty mark at the corner of one, gave off a pure yet tempting feeling.
The earring resembling a ruby by his left ear add a touch of color to him, and the tassels swayed gently with his movements, making him even more enchanting.
How could someone with such a helpless appearance bully others?
Ruan Qing pulled the corners of his mouth and tried to make an arrogant expression.
Perhaps it’s the first time he’s made such an expression, and he’s still a little inexperienced. It’s impossible to see the arrogance, but instead, it gave off a playful and adorable feeling.
It even attracted more attention than usual.
Ruan Qing: “...”
Ruan Qing practiced in front of the mirror for a while, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t do it.
It’s really difficult for him to make that kind of arrogant expression, and he’s not skilled enough.
It just looked like he’s trying to be cute or acting spoiled.
Ruan Qing thought for a moment, lifted his chin slightly, narrowed his eyes, and looked expressionlessly at the mirror.
Hmm...
The feeling of arrogance... should be fine with this... probably.
Ruan Qing let out a sigh of relief, took out a tissue beside him to wipe the water droplets off his face, and spoke in his mind, ‘System, do I have to import the data of my own every time I enter an instance?’
Even with the ‘Red Moon,’ his face still easily attracted attention, especially now with the red earring, making him even more conspicuous.
As long as one wasn’t blind, they would probably notice him.
He might even attract the attention of that murderer more easily than the original host, which was not what he wanted.
Fortunately, the original host’s identity this time seemed somewhat formidable, so ordinary people probably wouldn’t dare to bully him. In this aspect, he was stronger than in the previous instance.
The system explained, [Every time a player enters the game, it’s the player themselves who enters. Players can exchange for props to adjust their appearance.]
Special players were no exception; it’s just that the game system blurred other people’s perception of special players and let them replaced NPCs.
Ruan Qing didn’t have enough points to exchange for something like that. He looked at his reflection in the mirror thoughtfully, already considering the possibility of disfiguring himself.
In the past, due to his physique, even if he became disfigured, it was useless. Those lunatics seemed to be completely indifferent to his looks, and his disfigurement might even provoke their anger.
Now, with the ‘Red Moon,’ people probably wouldn’t immediately notice him, even if he disfigured himself.
“Brother Su,” a male voice called from outside the restroom, interrupting Ruan Qing’s thoughts.
That male student was one of the original host’s lackeys. The original host was extremely domineering, and he didn’t allow anyone else to be present when he used the restroom. So, he had his lackeys clear the area first and stand guard outside.
The voice of the male student carried a hint of excitement. “Physical education class is about to start.”
Physical education class was one of the original host’s methods of bullying classmates.
For example, making classmates stand in the middle of the playground and intentionally throwing a ball at them.
Or instructing his lackeys to bump into people while they were running.
It could be said that he has a bad reputation.
Ruan Qing furrowed his brows and walked out of the restroom slowly.
Bullying people...
He really didn’t know how to do it.
After all, he had always been the one being bullied.
However, Ruan Qing didn’t notice that the reflection of himself in the mirror seemed... a second slower.
Ruan Qing walked out of the restroom, and outside the door were four or five boys, all dressed somewhat disreputably in their school uniforms, not looking like well-behaved students.
Except for the original host.
The original host actually looked like a well-behaved student because he had to go home every day, and he didn’t know when his parents would return.
The original host always knew how to seek the maximum benefit for himself. He didn’t really love his parents; he loved everything his parents provided him. Therefore, he always behaved well in front of his parents.
The few people outside the door were momentarily stunned when they saw the young boy come out, unable to regain their senses.
Did Brother Su look like this before?
Ruan Qing lifted his chin and spoke coldly, “What are you looking at?”
Only then did the group come to their senses, immediately lowering their heads, afraid of displeasing the boy before them.
One of the boys with dyed blonde hair, bolder than the others, smiled ingratiatingly at Ruan Qing and said, “Brother Su, let’s go quickly. Physical education class is starting.”
Ruan Qing didn’t say anything, turned around, and walked toward the stairs, with the group following closely behind.
By the time Ruan Qing and his lackeys reached the playground, physical education class had already begun.
The original host wouldn’t attend any physical education classes. He preferred the free activities in the second half of the class.
Ruan Qing also didn’t want to attend the physical education class, so he went straight to sit under a nearby big tree, leaning against it while watching the playground.
The few little lackeys glanced at each other and eventually joined the class line, participating in physical training with other classmates.
Their family background couldn’t compare to Su Qing’s, and they usually relied on Su Qing’s influence to bully others. During class, they still tried to obey the teacher’s instructions.
After all, many teachers and leaders in the top high school held significant positions.
It’s probably early summer now, neither cold nor hot, with perfect sunshine. Moreover, it was the first afternoon class.
Ruan Qing had nothing else to do, so he just watched the people on the playground. However, as he kept watching, he began to feel a bit sleepy.
After all, the previous instance had been mentally exhausting, constantly suggesting hypnosis to others. His mind had already reached its limit.
Although returning to the game space would heal all wounds and fatigue, it was difficult to eliminate this kind of mental exhaustion.
It was the first day of this instance, and it was taking place on the crowded playground. There shouldn’t be any danger, and other students didn’t dare to approach him.
So Ruan Qing tilted his head back and leaned against the tree behind him, letting himself close his eyes.
The spot where Ruan Qing was sitting wasn’t very close to the playground since he was sitting under a big tree on the outer edge of the running track.
The track was quite large, including the grassy areas on both ends of the playground. People on the playground couldn’t really see who was sitting under the tree.
But even if they couldn’t see clearly, they knew who it was. It was none other than the famous Su Qing.
It had only been a few weeks since the start of school, yet almost everyone in the entire school knew about Su Qing.
Even the physical education teachers knew and pulled their own students away from the vicinity of the young man.
There was not just one class on the playground participating in physical education. There were several classes, and usually, they would run on the track.
While other physical activities could keep a distance from the young man, running on the track would definitely pass by that demonic youth.
Who knew? He might casually pick up a stone and throw it at them like he usually did.
When the group of students reached that section, their speed significantly slowed down. Some of them ran over in a timid and shrinking manner, not daring to look up at the young boy with a mixture of fear and trepidation as they passed him.
“Hey? Is everything okay?”
The crowd quickly ran past the boy.
Some brave classmate looked up at him. As soon as they saw him clearly, their eyes widened. Before they could react, they slipped and fell directly to the ground.
Others assumed that the young boy had started throwing stones, so they frantically accelerated to get past that area. Only the classmate who fell continued to stare straight at the young boy sitting under the tree.
Others also realized that it wasn’t the boy throwing stones, but rather the classmate who simply fell.
Upon seeing the classmate’s reaction, everyone turned to look at the young boy. Most of them were momentarily stunned.
The boy sitting under the tree had exquisite features, as if meticulously drawn by the heavens. He looked extraordinarily beautiful, like peach blossoms in full bloom during early spring. He had his eyes closed at the moment, seemingly asleep.
He appeared slightly less arrogant and more refined than usual.
The sunlight filtered through the leaves and cast shadows on the boy’s body, making him look like an angel.
However, no one forgot the boy’s devilish nature, and they averted their gaze with disgust.
After an unknown amount of time, a cry awakened Ruan Qing. He slowly opened his eyes, still filled with drowsiness.
He looked somewhat dazed in the direction of the sound, realizing that a classmate had fallen.
Instinctively, he stood up and wanted to go help.
However, as soon as he took the first step, his eyes instantly cleared. He remembered that he was currently inside a game instance.
One of his lackeys on the playground, the one with dyed blond hair, had already noticed that his big brother had awakened. He held a ball in one hand and waved to Ruan Qing with excitement, shouting, “Brother Su, over here!”
Seeing the situation, Ruan Qing had to adjust his expression and walked over slowly.
Blond guy handed the lead ball to Ruan Qing and said, “Brother Su, it’s your turn.”
Ruan Qing: “...”
Shot put?
Would this not kill someone if it hit them?
And did he really have the strength to throw this out?
Ruan Qing looked at the few trembling classmates standing in the middle of the playground and silently estimated the distance.
At least over ten meters.
And the weight of the shot put seemed to be... five kilograms?
Ruan Qing: “...”
