Ruan Qing was stunned for a second when he saw the caller ID. Only then did he remember that the original owner, as the school bully, had a significant other.
Not just one, but more than one, of different genders.
Excluding those who had already broken up before, it seemed that the original owner currently had both a boyfriend and a girlfriend.
And it appeared that these two were... classmates.
Well, quite the playboy.
After the phone rang, Mo Ran glanced at the boy’s phone and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, but he could only watch as the boy answered the call.
“Break up.” As soon as the call connected, a cold and indifferent voice came from the other end, followed by a busy tone.
Clearly, the call had been hung up by the other party.
Ruan Qing, who didn’t even have a chance to say a word, was confused: “???”
***
After saying these two words, Pei Yan immediately hung up the phone, completely disregarding the other person’s reaction.
Or rather, he didn’t care at all.
He didn’t like having a scumbag partner for no reason, even if it was a character setting in an instance.
The other wasn’t worthy, and even the mere pretense of being in a romantic relationship disgusted him.
Pei Yan’s livestream viewers began to tease him.
[God Pei is so indifferent. He breaks up just like that, without even giving a reason. How heartless.] (T/N: The ‘god’ here is actually ‘shen’. It’s a slang term typically used to describe someone or something that is incredibly skilled, talented, impressive, or awe-inspiring.)
[Exactly, he dumps someone while they’re still in love, without even giving a reason. How ruthless.]
[Who can handle being in a relationship with him? He’s the leader of school violence, and he definitely won’t live long. I bet one point that he won’t survive for more than three days.]
[I think three days might be too long. Once that person dies, the ghost will definitely go after him.]
[Actually, I think the ghost probably isn’t dead yet. I wonder if the players can protect him and prevent him from dying? That way, the ghost won’t exist anymore, right?]
[I think it’s somewhat feasible, but who died and became a ghost? After flipping through the instance data, all I could gather was that someone died and came back as a vengeful ghost, but I have no idea who it is.]
[It’s probably one of Su Qing’s victims. That NPC bullied everyone in the whole school... awesome!]
[Haha, if we knew who the ghost was, why bother protecting anything? We could just submit the answer and be done with it. This instance isn’t limited to surviving for only ten days, after all.]
[Right? It’s usually difficult to find out the names in these types of submission-based copies. It’s often better to just survive for ten days.]
In the horror game, players had the option to choose whether or not to livestream their gameplay in the instance. However, this livestream was generally not accessible to players themselves but seemed to be open to viewers from unknown time and space.
But players could still watch the livestream by spending a hefty amount of points.
However, few players choose to watch because the points required for viewing the livestream were nearly three times or even more than the points rewarded for completing an instance. It’s not cost-effective to spend points on gaining instance clearance clues this way, as it’s better to use the points to buy clues from advanced players or the game system itself.
Unless it’s a particularly difficult instance with a high draw rate, some players may grit their teeth and spend points to watch the livestream, such as in the instance “Horror Livestream Room.”
Even so, players could not send bullet comments or see them.
That privilege belonged solely to the real audience.
Even the streamer themselves could not fully see the bullet comments. Once the comments involved things related to the instance, they were all blocked, and what could be seen were only some meaningless comments.
But the players inside the instance weren’t fools either. They clearly thought of the method mentioned in the bullet comments. This instance was a new one, so there was hardly any information available.
Only Pei Yan had higher permissions and exchanged a tiny clue from the game system.
The clue only had one word written on it: ‘supernatural’
Considering the background information they had investigated for half a day, along with the hints given at the beginning of the game, it was apparent that the scenario involved a case of school violence leading to someone’s death. The deceased person returned as a vengeful ghost and proceeded to kill all the teachers and students in the school.
In such a situation, if they knew who the ghost was, they could have prevented their death or at least reported their name.
The problem, however, was that the NPC named Su Qing bullied the entire school, making it difficult to determine who exactly became the ghost.
Furthermore, protecting everyone was impossible; they couldn’t safeguard the entire school.
The most important aspect was that the scenario used the term “supernatural.” This meant that the existence of a ghost was an absolute certainty. Otherwise, the game’s mission wouldn’t have mentioned finding “it”.
This implied that the appearance of the ghost was predetermined, and no matter what they did, they couldn’t avoid it.
Even if they killed the NPC Su Qing, it was likely that the ghost would die due to other reasons and reappear, making it even more challenging to identify who it was.
It was better to keep the NPC Su Qing and observe who they would kill.
This way, at least there would be a scope and a suspect.
Moreover, players were not allowed to casually kill NPCs, as it would attract the NPCs’ hostility, and the game difficulty would become extremely challenging, akin to a hell mode.
Originally, the identity card that Pei Yan obtained was quite good. Being the boyfriend of that NPC, he should have been able to get close to him easily.
However, the players watched in astonishment as Pei Yan made a phone call and directly broke up with the NPC.
The players: “...” Alright, you’re the boss. As long as you’re happy.
In any case, getting close to the NPC didn’t necessarily have to be through a romantic relationship.
***
Ruan Qing looked at the disconnected phone call and remained silent for a second before realizing that he had been... dumped?
It was a strange feeling, as it was his first time being dumped.
Ruan Qing instinctively touched the “Red Moon” earring on his left ear and then, following the original owner’s temperament, immediately blocked the so-called boyfriend’s number.
From this moment on, the other person had transformed from a boyfriend to an ex-boyfriend.
Although the original protagonist was arrogant and domineering, they treated their partner fairly well because they believed that a man should cherish their significant other.
However, the original protagonist was not the type to cling desperately. When breaking up, it was usually an amicable separation, followed by no further contact. They wouldn’t hold grudges, but it was also impossible to receive their special treatment again.
Therefore, despite many people fearing the original protagonist, there were still those who wanted to be with them. After all, the original protagonist was decent in how they treated their partners. They wouldn’t bully them and were extremely generous, which could be considered as showing a lot of affection.
The fact that the other person initiated the breakup was actually good. Ruan Qing didn’t want to have unnecessary relationships with strange scumbags.
Although Mo Ran didn’t hear what was said on the phone, he saw the teenager blocking the other person’s number.
He knew exactly what that meant. After all, the teenager frequently changed partners, and rarely did anyone maintain that status for more than a month.
Mo Ran looked at the teenager and hesitated before speaking, “Brother Su, don’t take it to heart. It’s his loss. If you’re unhappy, I can find someone to take it out on him.”
“Forget it, it’s just one less partner. I’ll find another one. Besides, I’m getting tired of him, anyway.” Ruan Qing had an indifferent expression on his face, showing no concern about being dumped.
Mo Ran paused for a moment upon hearing his words, then glanced at the heartless teenager and didn’t respond.
Most of the classmates had already left the classroom, leaving only Ruan Qing and his lackeys.
When Mo Ran saw Ruan Qing stand up, he immediately followed suit, helping Ruan Qing pack his bag and carrying it on his own back. He played the role of a lackey perfectly, not requiring Ruan Qing to do anything.
After they finished packing up, the group left the classroom directly.
Although school hours had ended, there were still many students coming and going on the campus, as boarding students in high school outnumbered day students by a large margin.
Other classmates saw Ruan Qing and his lackeys and hurriedly lowered their heads, trying to avoid being noticed by them.
Ruan Qing had originally planned to accompany Mo Ran for a while, but he encountered Su Zhiwei at the school gate.
Su Zhiwei leaned against a luxury car and waved to Ruan Qing when he saw him coming out. He then gentlemanly opened the backseat door.
Ruan Qing hesitated for a moment, eventually took his backpack from Mo Ran’s hands, and got into the car without saying a word to Mo Ran. He completely ignored the previous agreement they had made.
Leaving Mo Ran alone standing in place, smiling as he watched the car gradually drive away, his expression turned gloomy only when the car was out of sight.
Xiao Shiyi, who came out later, glanced at Mo Ran and got into his own car with his backpack.
***
While driving, Su Zhiwei glanced at the teenager playing with his phone through the rearview mirror and asked, “Is your wound still hurting?”
Ruan Qing remained silent and ignored Su Zhiwei, continuing to play with his own phone.
Su Zhiwei didn’t get angry and patiently reminded him, “Be careful these days and don’t let the wound come into contact with water.”
The original owner’s villa was not far away, and they arrived quickly.
Once Su Zhiwei dropped him off, he left. After all, the other had long been separated from the Su family and no longer lived with them.
Upon Ruan Qing’s arrival, the housekeeper immediately approached with caution and took his backpack from his hands.
The original owner’s parents were currently on a business trip and were unlikely to return within ten days.
It wasn’t yet mealtime, so Ruan Qing went directly upstairs to his room, took some clean clothes, and entered the bathroom.
Before entering the bathroom, Ruan Qing carefully inspected the surroundings to ensure there were no cameras or unusual circumstances before entering.
After all, he didn’t want to die in the bathroom on the first day of entering the game instance.
In the previous instance, as it was being livestreamed in real-time, Ruan Qing didn’t know if it would be censored, so he couldn’t take a shower. Although everything would be restored once he returned to the game space, he already felt mentally dirty.
Given the option, his cleanliness obsession was quite severe.
The original owner’s bathroom was spacious, with a separate shower area and a large bathtub for soaking.
Ruan Qing felt a strong urge, but he suppressed it. Taking a bath was too easy to let one’s guard down.
In this perilous dungeon, it was better to refrain from doing so. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even know how you died.
Ruan Qing took off his school uniform jacket and tossed it aside. As he was about to take off his short sleeves, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
It was as if someone was watching him, although the feeling wasn’t particularly intense.
Ruan Qing turned around and discreetly glanced around. His gaze finally rested on the full-length mirror in the bathroom, reflecting his own image.
Was it... just an illusion?
The bathroom wasn’t completely enclosed, but the curtains on the window were drawn, and the bathroom door had frosted glass, making it impossible to see from outside.
Moreover, there were no suspicious items in the bathroom, and he couldn’t spot any surveillance cameras or monitors.
It seemed like Ruan Qing’s imagination playing tricks on him.
Relying more on his intuition than his eyes and ears, Ruan Qing, even though he couldn’t find any issues, decided to switch to another bathroom directly.
The Su family villa was large, and most rooms had attached bathrooms.
Carrying clean clothes, Ruan Qing went to a guest bedroom on the same floor. The guest bedroom was not as luxurious as the original owner’s room, and the bathroom was simple as well.
It was small and narrow, without a bathtub or dressing-table mirror.
However, this time, the sensation of being watched finally disappeared.
After confirming that there were no problems, Ruan Qing slowly undressed, turned on the shower, and let the water wet his body. Before long, the bathroom became foggy, creating a vague and hazy atmosphere.
Through the glass door, he could only see a slender figure moving, appearing somewhat indistinct.
The room was extremely quiet, with only the sound of the shower dripping gently through the glass door.
After Ruan Qing finished washing up, he wiped off the water droplets and put on a clean bathrobe.
Lost in thought, he picked up a towel and dried his wet hair. He didn’t believe that the feeling of being watched just now was a delusion. He leaned more towards the idea that the culprit had already targeted him.
Perhaps the level of danger in the villa was higher than that of the school.
After all, in the villa, he was essentially alone.
The teenager wore a white bathrobe, his face adorned with a slight blush and the mist of water vapor. His slightly long, damp hair added to his pure and desirable appearance. The ruby earring on his ear added a touch of splendor, making it even harder to divert one’s gaze.
It was difficult for anyone to resist this pose, even if he was just a useless pretty boy. With his outstanding looks alone, he would stand out in the players’ livestream and garner the admiration of many viewers.
The system felt it was a pity and spoke again, [Player, are you really not considering starting a livestream? Opening a livestream would not only earn you rewards from viewers but also grant you corresponding points based on the number of online viewers.]
If it were the teenager, he could probably quickly repay his owed points just by relying on live streaming.
However, he had already declined when the system asked him for the first time.
“No, I won’t,” Ruan Qing replied without hesitation, continuing to towel-dry his hair.
He hated being constantly watched.
Even if he could earn points from viewers or even obtain clues from them, he didn’t want to do it.
Even without these, he could still earn points based on his abilities.
He was never a trailing flower that couldn’t survive without anyone.
Once he accumulated enough points, the first thing he would do was change this disappointing body into the physique of a strong and towering man, standing at 1.9 meters.
With this thought in mind, Ruan Qing silently opened the in-game store and searched for the number of points needed to change his body.
...No results found.
It seemed that his level was not high enough, after all, his level was only F-grade.
The levels for game players are roughly divided into six categories: a, b, c, d, e, and f. The e and f levels were considered beginner players, c and d levels were intermediate players, and a and b levels were advanced players. Each level corresponded to a different in-game marketplace, with higher levels unlocking more options.
It’s estimated that one would need to reach at least the level of an intermediate player before he could buy the body he wanted.
Upon seeing the young boy’s search content, the system: “...”
While wiping his hair, Ruan Qing returned to the doorway of his room.
Just as Ruan Qing reached for the doorknob to open the door, his hand suddenly froze. He lowered his gaze and saw almost invisible transparent threads on the doorknob. They were the threads he had left behind when he left the room earlier.
But now, the threads were... broken.
Someone had entered his room.
Or perhaps... someone was currently in his room.
