The Days of a Player-Character in a Bizarre World - Chapter 25

“Don’t you think Fu You was right? Yu Shang really should get his head checked out. Even I think he might have some kind of delusion!”

Ke Na was muttering next to Aike Kanglie. Yu Shang wasn’t far away, so he heard everything clearly, but his ears were as if they had automatically closed. He was determined not to listen to any outside judgments on the matter.

He took out his phone and made a call. The voice on the other end answered, “Bro, what’s up?”

“I need you to do something. If you succeed, I’ll give you a bonus.”

“Something that good? What is it, bro? Just tell me.”

“It’s simple. I want one of Fu Lu’s arms, no matter what it takes. Bring it to me, and the bonus will be yours.”

After he said that, Yu Shang hung up the phone.

Aike Kanglie frowned. He glanced at Ke Na. Listening to Yu Shang’s tone, he didn’t even have to think to know who he had called. It was just one of those people in the student council who didn’t have any real background.

These people were the most loyal. For power and money, they would do anything. Afterward, they would even think they had leverage over the person who gave them the order. If something went wrong, the people above would naturally have their backs.

In fact, that’s exactly what they did. Otherwise, why would they be so arrogant all the time?

“If you do this, aren’t you afraid that Fu You will hate you even more?” Aike Kanglie said. He was about to continue, but Yu Shang cut him off with a cold snort.

“Afraid? Afraid of what? That word isn’t in my dictionary. I just want to show her the consequences of rejecting me. When Fu Lu’s arm is broken, we’ll see if she still likes that coward!”

Ke Na and Aike Kanglie had no choice but to give up on him. They didn’t want to be with him anymore. The two of them looked at each other and walked toward the door, one after the other, ready to leave.

“What? Are you going to go tell on me?”

Yu Shang’s eyes were fixed on them, and his tone became extremely cold. This was the first time they had ever seen Yu Shang like this.

In the past, when they parted ways, they just left to give each other time to calm down. But today, there was clearly a killing intent in Yu Shang’s eyes.

When Aike Kanglie heard that, he didn’t plan on being nice to him anymore. He had been holding it in for long enough. Now, he just wanted to find a quiet place and not be with him anymore. He didn’t expect to hear a hint of a threat.

“Yu Shang, not everyone has to revolve around you. The world will still turn without you. What you want to do is your business, but we don’t want to do this. Since that’s the case, you do you, and we… will part ways.”

After he said that, he turned and walked toward the door. Ke Na was already standing outside the door. He had seen enough of this drama, and it was time for him to leave.

“Stop! Aike Kanglie, I told you to stop!”

The other person acted as if he hadn’t heard anything and just kept walking.

There was always one person who was a bit of an outcast among the three, and that was Ke Na. Ever since he was rejected by Fu You and decided to be her friend, his relationship with Yu Shang and Aike Kanglie had gradually distanced.

Yu Shang would always take Aike Kanglie with him to do things. He didn’t like Ke Na’s cowardly look and couldn’t stand the way Ke Na still clung to Fu You after being rejected. So the two of them didn’t interact much.

However, Aike Kanglie and Ke Na were still good friends, so occasionally, the three of them would hang out together because, besides Fu You, they all had something in common.

So, when Ke Na left, Yu Shang didn’t say anything, but when Aike Kanglie stood up and opposed him just like Ke Na did, and even said some hurtful things, he couldn’t take it anymore.

Looking at Aike Kanglie’s figure about to step out of the office, he yelled, “Aike Kanglie! I told you to stop! Come back! Are you deaf?”

The other person was still unmoved. He turned and grabbed the coffee cup on the table and threw it at Aike Kanglie’s back.

Bang!

“Ugh!—Ah!—”

The coffee cup hit Aike Kanglie directly on the back of his head. He grunted and fell heavily to the ground as his vision turned black.

Ke Na, who had just walked a short distance, heard the noise and looked back. Half of Aike Kanglie’s body was outside the door, and half was inside. Bl00d was constantly flowing from his head, gradually spreading over his upper body.

Yu Shang was a little panicked when he saw this. He rushed to Aike Kanglie’s side, squatted down, and shook him. “Hey, Aike Kanglie? Stop pretending. Wake up, hey!”

His face instantly turned pale. He shook Aike Kanglie a few times, but there was no movement. So he tentatively put his finger under Aike Kanglie’s nose to see if he was still breathing. He couldn’t feel anything, not even a slight wisp of air.

Ke Na stood in the hallway, looking down at the still-bleeding Aike Kanglie on the ground and the stunned Yu Shang. He quietly asked, “Is he… dead?”

This question completely paralyzed Yu Shang. He frantically searched for something on the ground with his hands. He suddenly looked up. “Help me dispose of the body. I’ll give you the student council president position. Otherwise, I don’t mind letting you die, too.”

The position of student council president was a tempting offer, especially since Ke Na was the only one of the three who didn’t come from a good family. With Yu Shang and Aike Kanglie’s family backgrounds, they could easily crush him like an ant.

So, he followed them. He had never done anything wrong or made them unhappy, and his family and he had received the protection they deserved.

If he helped Yu Shang this time, wouldn’t he have a better reason to control this guy? It wasn’t a bad thing.

So, he went against his conscience and helped Yu Shang clean up the scene.

*********************************

Fu Lu had just finished his P.E. class. After running for three kilometers, he was all sweaty and was now planning to go back to the dorm to take a shower and change his clothes.

As he was walking, he was thinking about how to confess to his friends after he took a shower. In front of him, a group of intimidating-looking boys walked toward him. He looked up and saw that they were clearly coming for him.

Everyone had a menacing look on their faces. Fu Lu knew right away that these people were here to cause trouble. He didn’t know which campus heartthrob had ordered them, since only those people in the school would cause trouble so openly.

Seeing this, he quickened his pace, wanting to get back to his dorm first.

“Stop right there!”

Fu Lu stood there, bewildered, looking at the group of people blocking his path. He said, “Are you talking to me?”

“You’re Fu Lu, right…” the leader asked.

Fu Lu nodded foolishly and asked again, “Is there something you need?” “Since we’ve run into you, it saves us the trouble of looking for you. Little junior, we have something to talk to you about. Come with us. It’ll be quick, it’ll be over soon.”

Fu Lu stood there without moving. He just said, confused, “I don’t think I know you guys. What do you need me for? Can’t you just say it here? I want to go back to my dorm after you’re done.”

“You don’t know us? You will in a second. Guys, get him!”

“Hey, let go of me! Let go of me! What are you doing?!”

Then, a few strong boys went up and held Fu Lu, forcibly taking him away. It was no use, no matter how much Fu Lu yelled.

They took him to the abandoned basketball court.

The school had an abandoned building because of expansion, and there was a small field below it. There were only two basketball hoops still standing on the field, so it was also called a basketball court.

Ever since many bones were dug up there, no one dared to go to that place anymore. It was now a restricted area.

Before the bones were dug up, many students who couldn’t get a spot on the gym’s basketball court would go there to play basketball. The school had basketball games, but some people always took over the gym’s basketball court.

Those who had no place to practice had to find a place themselves, which was how they found that abandoned basketball court.

They didn’t expect that bones would be dug up later. Now, no one dared to go there, so it became a place for some people to bully others, just like the Taiji Lake.

They threw Fu Lu into a blind spot of the surveillance camera. A few of them stood in front of him, forming a circle and surrounding him. The leader’s tone was very unfriendly. He clenched his fists as he spoke:

“This little junior is quite good-looking, but unfortunately, I’m sorry. His pretty face is about to be ruined. Should I break his left arm or his right arm? Never mind. Let’s just teach this kid a lesson first. Beat him up!”

Fu Lu, who was in the middle, wasn’t panicked. He had already guessed what was going on when he saw this group of people. Someone was unhappy that he had caught the attention of his “Sister,” and now they were here to bully him and teach him a lesson.

He had arrived just in time. As the people threw their fists and kicks at him, he revealed a strange smile.

Based on Xiaoyue’s description, Fu You was now looking for the boy on campus. From what she gathered, his name was Zhuang Heng. He was a humanities student, and he had a black mole on the right side of his nose. Other than that, she had no other information.

Going from class to class was definitely not a feasible option. It was better not to look at all. She wouldn’t be able to find him even if she looked until tomorrow. So, she went to the teachers’ office building.

The academic director would definitely have a list of all the students in the school.

In a normal school, a regular student wouldn’t be able to just go into a teacher’s office and look through their files, let alone go to the academic director’s office to look for a student list. No teacher would agree to that.

It was against the rules.

However, Chengchun University was not a normal school. The school rules were based on money and power. When you added beauty to the mix, you were at the very top. If you added profit, you were a cash cow in this school.

No one could disrespect a cash cow.

Fu You was this huge cash cow. She had money, power, and beauty, and she was heavily involved in the school’s interests. The students respected and loved her, and even the principal would give her some face.

If Fu You were ranked second, no one in the entire school would dare to be ranked first, not even the student council.

With the enthusiastic help of the academic director, Fu You looked through the entire school’s list of students and teachers, even those who had already graduated or left. There was no student named Zhuang Heng.

That made things even more interesting.
