The Cannon Fodder NPC Went Too Far [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 46
Chapter 46
First mock exam…
Second mock exam…
Third mock exam…
100-Day Rally…
The crimson numbers at the front of the classroom leaped rapidly, pressing on everyone’s hearts like an insurmountable mountain.
The classroom was quiet, with only the scratching sound of pen nibs against paper.
The Little Blue Orb lay silently in Gu Aoyu’s sea of consciousness, watching the madness of some students with bloodshot eyes staring at their test papers, and couldn’t help but shiver.
As the number of days rapidly decreased, the students’ mental state became increasingly tense. Being silent was considered normal. Students attending class with a whole arm full of fingernail marks were not uncommon. The fear was a momentary lapse of reason, which would be completely irreversible.
A few days ago, it heard the Host chatting, mentioning that a student from a certain school had jumped again, and the parents were nearly blind from crying.
The college entrance exam was too terrifying. Fortunately, it wasn’t human; it was a little system and didn’t need to take the exam.
It was truly a matter of studying oneself to death if the studying didn’t kill them first.
The Little Blue Orb glanced a few more times at Gu Aoyu, who was seriously working on her problems, and nodded, as if saying she was teachable.
It was good that the Host was willing to learn and had a goal. Other tasks could be put aside for now.
The Little Blue Orb looked at the bright red 45 points and silently sighed.
With the Host’s reckless fighting style and protective nature, who would dare to bully the Great Villain again? Without bullying, the Host had no KPI, causing the second half of the campus bullying plot in the novel to be cut. The critical plot points were not triggered at all.
The current 45 points were only achieved because it had given her a huge break.
Although this outcome was excellent, if the Host’s score didn’t meet the requirement, the mission would not be completed, there would be no reward, and without a reward, she wouldn’t be able to stay in this world and would die.
The Little Blue Orb worried internally but didn’t disclose it to Gu Aoyu. The Host was already under immense pressure studying day and night. How could it disturb the Host now?
Never mind, it would talk about it after the college entrance exam.
Since the Host and the Great Villain had a good relationship now, it could still try to squeeze some points out of them through acting after the exam to reach 50.
That useless Male Lead, too. A Male Lead, yet so easily defeated, even more useless than the Male Lead in the first small world.
When the Host fought one-against-many in the alley, both she and the thugs were injured, and they were all arrested and detained for a few days. The Male Lead went to the police station once and has been behaving himself ever since. He avoids the Host when he sees her on campus. Gu Aoyu has truly become the school’s actual campus queen/bully.
The thugs also retreated to find another turf, keeping out of the Host’s way, saving her a lot of time for exam preparation. That wasn’t bad, either.
The Male Lead left school after the third year and hasn’t been seen since. No one knows where he went for college.
She did see the Female Lead a few times, who came back during holidays to visit the teacher and the Host. She gave the Host a huge pile of her review materials and tutored her several times.
It was just that the Great Villain’s expression didn’t look very good then. She silently followed behind them, listening with ears pricked, as if secretly learning from the Female Lead’s knowledge.
The Little Blue Orb was a bit confused. Both the Female Lead and the Great Villain were top students; there shouldn’t be a need for that.
Besides, the Female Lead had a good personality and was generous. If the Great Villain just asked, she could listen with the Host. Why float ethereally behind them, needlessly adding a touch of the supernatural?
The pure white school uniform, the scattered black hair, the deep eyes, like… like a resentful female ghost, somewhat haunting.
The Little Blue Orb could only say that it somewhat understood the relationship between the Host and the Great Villain, but not entirely.
Gu Aoyu stared intently at the large area of red corrections marked by a red pen on her test paper. She pursed her lips and heavily scored the paper with her pen a few times.
Why? Why was this problem type still incorrect?
She had practiced for so long, yet she couldn’t solve it when the format changed slightly.
She took a deep breath, her head drooping sullenly, her scattered black hair covering the redness in her eyes.
“The brightest star in the night sky, can you hear the loneliness and sigh in the heart of the one looking up…”
The youthful singing drifted through the window into the ears of every student in the final year.
Initially, it was a bit uncoordinated and low, but as the melody progressed, it became louder and more uniform, like new shoots breaking through the soil. The singing spiraled over the school campus.
Gu Aoyu was stunned. Only then did she remember that the old teacher had mentioned that the second-year students would be shouting from the building tonight, asking them to finish their work early and go outside to watch.
“I pray for a transparent heart and eyes that can cry, give me the courage to believe again, Oh, cross the lies to embrace you…”
A tiny sob suddenly sounded. A student wiped the tears from their eyes while continuing to write, but their eyes were blurry with moisture, making it impossible to see the problems clearly.
Under the vibrant singing, no one went to the window. They silently lowered their heads, not daring to see the scene outside.
Just as the students in the class were sitting with mixed feelings, unable to focus on their work, the old teacher poked his head in, glared at them, and shouted impatiently:
“It’s almost time to leave anyway. Stop working, everyone come out and see what your second-year juniors have prepared for you.”
The stars twinkled in the sky, and fluorescent lights waved on the ground. Amidst the stirring singing, their bodies swayed vigorously to the rhythm, and the fluorescent sticks in their hands waved, forming dazzling light trails.
Red like fire, burning fiercely in the darkness. Blue like the sea, like hidden ripples in the deep ocean. Red, green, blue… intertwined into a brilliant river of stars.
Colorful lights shone on the faces of every final-year student looking down from the corridor.
Seemingly sensing their gaze, the second-year students below waved their fluorescent sticks even more vigorously. The initially neat formation became messy, but this didn’t diminish the impact of the scene.
Amidst the gathered crowd, someone started it, and a loud, passionate shout of “Go, seniors, go!” instantly ignited the entire venue.
Immediately after, everyone shouted in unison, their voices thundering, shaking the windows of the teaching building.
Everyone strained their throats, screaming with all their might. Every note was filled with blessings for the final-year students and for their own future.
Amidst the passionate and grand fireworks, the final-year students, who had just been immersed in their books, responded with all their strength.
“Thank you, I suddenly feel like studying again.”
“I don’t believe I can’t handle this little exam.”
“When I finish the exam, I’m going to play hard, sleep hard, and make up for all the suffering these past few days.”
“Aah! ! ! I, Gu Aoyu, will definitely become a police officer!” Countless similar outbursts instantly drowned out Gu Aoyu’s voice. She panted and laughed freely. The suppressed frustration in her heart quietly dissipated a lot, and her entire body felt lighter and emptier.
Gu Aoyu tilted her head and looked at Xu Luxi, who was smiling at her. Her canine teeth flashed. She grabbed Xu Luxi’s wrist and led her to a less crowded area.
The surroundings were still noisy. Gu Aoyu pointed to her flushed cheeks and shouted loudly: “Xu Luxi, like this, aah. It feels so good.”
Xu Luxi gently shook her head, opening her mouth to refuse, seemingly saying that she was fine now and didn’t need to vent like that.
“What? I can’t hear you. Xu Luxi, what are you saying?” Gu Aoyu shouted at the top of her lungs, asking.
It was unclear if she genuinely couldn’t hear or was pretending not to. Seeing the joy radiating from Gu Aoyu’s eyes and brows, Xu Luxi curled the corner of her eyes, smiling indulgently, and complied.
She slightly parted her lips, tried to make a sound a few times, but still couldn’t overcome the hurdle in her heart. Just as she was about to give up, she saw Gu Aoyu’s bright eyes staring at her without blinking, her face full of anticipation.
Xu Luxi took a deep breath. She closed her eyes, mimicked Gu Aoyu, cupped her hands around her mouth like a megaphone, and let out a small aah.
“No, it’s like this.” Gu Aoyu placed a warm hand on her shoulder and winked at her.
She inhaled forcefully, gathered the air in her diaphragm, and then released it abruptly.
“Follow me, aah aah aah aah.”
“Aah aah aah aah.”
“Aah aah aah aah aah.”
They didn’t know how long they shouted until both Xu Luxi and Gu Aoyu’s throats were nearly hoarse. Only then did they stop.
Gu Aoyu wiped the sweat from her face with one swipe, heavily regulating her breathing. She laughed and looked at Xu Luxi, who was still panting, and asked loudly:
“Doesn’t that feel much better?”
“Mm.” Xu Luxi nodded vigorously. The suffocating crimson color that had been accumulating in her heart lightly turned into smoke and flowed out from her limbs and bones. She smiled comfortably.
This was the first time she had vented like this. The first time she had shouted out all her anger, grievance, and unwillingness through her voice.
“Xu Luxi, how about we go out and play after the college entrance exam? We can climb to the highest mountain peak to see the first ray of dawn. We can stroll to the serene seaside to enjoy the last sunset glow. We can traverse the deep bamboo forest to listen to the gentle rustling of the leaves in the breeze…”
Gu Aoyu recited the things she dreamed of doing with her afterward. Her dark eyes reflected Xu Luxi’s gentle face and the stars filling the sky.
“Mm, we can go anywhere you want.” As long as it was her, as long as she was by her side, she was willing to do anything.
Xu Luxi slightly tilted her head, her eyes curved into two crescents, shimmering brightly.
“Gu Aoyu, all the best!”
Under the pitch-black sky, Xu Luxi slowly reached out her hand. Her pinky finger scratched Gu Aoyu’s palm. Gu Aoyu’s arm trembled but did not resist.
She gradually interlaced her fingers with hers, locking their hands together.
“All the best.” Gu Aoyu looked straight ahead, saying softly. It was as if she was talking to herself and to her.
In the darkness, they carefully held each other’s hands, amidst the dense crowd, watching the sea of fluorescent lights waving on the ground.
Under the rousing drum beats, the second-year students quickly changed their formation, spelling out four large characters with the fluorescent sticks.
(Go, seniors, go!)
(Go, seniors, go!)
(Go, seniors, go!)
Beside their ears was the passionate singing.
“I pray for a transparent heart and eyes that can cry, give me the courage to believe again, Oh, cross the lies to embrace you…”
No matter how long the road ahead, they would never forget this day.
