The Days of a Player-Character in a Bizarre World - Chapter 35

The first rays of morning sunlight shone through the window and onto Fu You’s bed curtains.

Fu You was the first to open her eyes. There was no movement around her. After quietly getting dressed and washed, she didn’t wake up Fang Yaoyao. She opened the door and walked outside.

She didn’t know Fu Lu’s birthday, and maybe a stone carving didn’t have one, but she could make today, the day he was reborn, his birthday. She was going to make him a bowl of longevity noodles.

Wow, that would make him so happy!

After leaving the dorm, Fu You walked toward the cafeteria. She spent half an hour tinkering in the kitchen and finally quietly made a super delicious breakfast of noodles. She packed it up and went back to the dorm.

Maybe she came out too early. When she first left the dorm, she didn’t see anyone, but now, when she came out of the cafeteria and walked back to the dorm, there were more students, some of whom were jogging.

Without thinking too much, she hurried back to the dorm with her noodles. If she were a little late, the noodles would get soggy and wouldn’t taste good. She was a master of noodles and loved to make all kinds of them for herself. She had to make Fu Lu lose his mind over them.

Whew! Just thinking about the 10,000 idle coins that were about to be credited to her account made her incredibly happy. She instantly quickened her pace.

When she got upstairs, she quietly pushed open the door to Fu Lu’s dorm and placed the longevity noodles on the table. Fu Lu smelled the aroma and came out of the stone carving. He looked at the noodles on the table and asked in surprise, “Sister, are these for me?”

“Yes! I don’t know your birthday, so I decided to make today, the day you’re reborn, your hatch day. I made this myself. Hurry and try it.”

Fu Lu looked at the heart-shaped egg on top of the noodles and was even more touched. His sister had made this with her own hands, just for him. He looked up at Fu You with even more affection. He could also feel her care and affection for him, and they weren’t fake.

“Wuwuwu, thank you, Sister! I’m so lucky, so lucky to have met you, Sister. I’ll eat all of it.”

Seeing him pick up his chopsticks and start eating, Fu You smiled and said, “How does it taste?”

Fu Lu couldn’t even talk. He was constantly scooping up noodles with his chopsticks and putting them into his mouth. He put the egg with the heart on the side, planning to eat it later. Now, his cheeks were puffed up like a little hamster, and he looked so cute.

He swallowed the food in his mouth and praised her from the bottom of his heart. “The noodles Sister made are so good. It’s truly the best thing A’Lu has ever eaten in this world!”

Yes! The compliments were there. Now, all that was left was for Fu Lu to shed a tear. It seemed like it was time to put on a show.

In fact, Fu You herself didn’t know if she was just acting. Maybe she really had intended to act in the beginning, but later, when she looked at him, she found herself getting more and more into it. She figured it didn’t matter, as long as the mission was completed.

Seeing how happily Fu Lu was eating, her smile never left her face. Fu Lu, who noticed that Fu You was staring at him, held his bowl and stood in front of her. He picked up a pair of noodles with his used chopsticks and brought them to her mouth. “Sister, you should eat too. A’Lu wants to share this deliciousness with you.”

Fu You opened her mouth without hesitation and ate the noodles he offered her. She smiled and said, “It really is good. I guess I’m pretty talented at cooking!”

Soon, the noodles were gone, and there was only the heart-shaped egg left in the bowl. Fu Lu picked up the egg and brought it to Fu You’s mouth. Fu You backed away and said, “This is for the birthday boy. How can I eat it? This is… ah…”

Before she could finish, Fu Lu put the heart-shaped egg into her mouth, put the bowl and chopsticks aside, and reached for the back of her head, leaning in toward the heart-shaped egg.

Sister’s lips are so soft…

Fu You’s eyes widened. At this moment, she had the strange feeling that she didn’t know what to do. She wanted to push Fu Lu away, but her body seemed to be out of control and wanted to respond. Just as she was struggling inside, Fu Lu bit off the other half of the egg and let her go.

Then, he ate it himself, looking at Fu You affectionately. “The egg Sister made is so good. Fu Lu loves it. From now on, today is Fu Lu’s birthday.”

“I’m glad you like it. I’m glad you like it,” Fu You said with a smile. Her mind was racing, wondering why Fu Lu wasn’t crying yet. Wasn’t he touched? Then she took a step closer to Fu Lu and whispered, “A’Lu, you’ll never be alone again. You have me.”

Sure enough, Fu Lu finally couldn’t hold it in. His eyes filled with hot tears that immediately streamed down his face.

“Sister, it’s all your fault! You made me cry…”

[Congratulations, Host, you have completed Side Quest 4. You have personally made a bowl of longevity noodles for the BOSS, received his praise, and made him cry. You have been rewarded with 10,000 idle coins.]

Fu You couldn’t help but laugh at Fu Lu’s crying and laughing expression. When she heard the system notification that the idle coins had been credited, she laughed even more happily.

Including the 500 she had before, she now had 10,500. She still needed four thousand more to redeem the instructions for the little card. What a pain. Oh well, I’ll just take it one step at a time.

Anyway, she would get more idle coins after she completed this instance. It wouldn’t be too late to buy it then. The current affection rating was only a little over fifty. She still needed forty-something more. She had to work hard.

After eating with Fu Lu, the two of them went to class together. It was time for class. Fu You was still thinking about what to do about Xun Lu, but she hadn’t heard from her in a few days, so she decided to just let it go for now.

Anyway, if she wants Fu Lu, she will definitely show up.

The day’s classes quickly ended. She had to admit that if life were always like this, it would be pretty good. Going to and from class with a cute boy, eating together, and exploring the school together. She wondered why she hadn’t found this happiness when she was a student.

When they got back to the dorm, Fu You said goodbye to Fu Lu. Even though they lived across from each other, they didn’t skimp on the ceremony. Fu You pushed open the door and entered her dorm. She felt that Fang Yaoyao and Xiaoyue were a little strange today, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.

Fang Yaoyao and Xiaoyue had been staring at her since she walked in. Before, they would have happily greeted Fu You, but today, they were strange. Not only did they not greet her, but they were also looking her up and down.

Xiaoyue’s eyes were clearly a little vacant. She was constantly copying Fang Yaoyao’s movements. And from the moment she walked in, Fang Yaoyao’s eyes had a sinister look in them when she looked at her.

“Yaoyao? Xiaoyue?”

Fu You stood at the door, holding the doorknob, and called out softly. The two of them didn’t answer. The next second, Fang Yaoyao smiled with a twisted mouth and said, “Fu You, you really made me look for you for a while!”

“Fu Lu…” Fu You subconsciously muttered. She turned and rushed into the dorm across the hall. The stone carving on the table was indeed gone. It seemed that Fang Yaoyao had been possessed by Xun Lu. Xun Lu was the woman who was pieced together with other people’s bodies.

Footsteps sounded behind her. Fu You turned around. Fang Yaoyao had already walked in with Xiaoyue. Then, the dorm door slowly closed. Fang Yaoyao stood at the door and smiled sinisterly at her. “Miss Fu You, what are you looking for?”

“What did you do to Fu Lu?”

If Fu Lu were dead now, the system would have notified me. This meant that Fu Lu wasn’t dead. There was only one possibility: Xun Lu had hidden him.

“Are you blind? The thing is gone, so I obviously destroyed it. He’s my man, and he should be working for me, but he betrayed me for you and even hurt my soldiers. Doesn’t he deserve to die?”

“Soldiers? You call those people who massacred innocent people ‘soldiers’? I could drown you with a single mouthful of spit!”

Xun Lu’s mouth curved slightly. Fu You wasn’t stupid. She could tell that Xun Lu was happy right now. Although she had expected her to show up, she didn’t expect it to be so soon. It must have been hard for her to hide for a few days.

“You’re already at your wits’ end, and you still have the energy to say these things. You want to find Fu Lu? Don’t worry, I’ll send you down to keep him company.”

With that, she started chanting a spell. She gestured with her hands in front of her chest, and a spell mark quickly appeared. The temperature in the room instantly rose, and soon it became hot.

The wooden table on the balcony suddenly caught fire. Then, the bed frame and desk around Fu You also started to burn. It all happened in an instant. A circle of fire surrounded Fu You, trapping her.

Xun Lu’s eyes were filled with pleasure. As long as she killed Fu You, she could be resurrected without worry. Since Fu Lu wasn’t willing to take her eyes, she would just take them herself.

Fu You, however, smiled and shook her head. She calmly took out a pocket watch from her pocket and looked at the time on it with a wicked smile. Xun Lu was a little confused, but the next second, she started to laugh. “What? Are you checking how much time you have left to live?”

Fu you didn’t say anything. She just put the chain through the pocket watch and let go, swinging it toward Xun Lu. The chain wrapped around Xun Lu’s finger, and the pocket watch swung back and forth in midair. “You’re wrong. This shows how much time you have left to live.”

Xun Lu’s eyes subconsciously looked at the swinging watch. Her gaze followed it left and right. Soon, she was hypnotized and entered the dream world that Fu You had created.

Luckily, I was prepared. She hadn’t expected that a psychological strategy would work everywhere. At least she hadn’t wasted her time watching those TV shows.

In the dream, Xun Lu killed Fu You and then completed her so-called resurrection ritual in the dorm. She gouged out Fu You’s eyes, took them, and ran out of the dorm toward the abandoned basketball court, where she dug up the corpse buried in the ground.

The rest was just waiting for two days later, when the negative energy would be at its peak, to begin the resurrection ritual.

Outside the dream, Fu You spent a thousand idle coins to get a little card with a containment function from the system. She trapped Xun Lu inside. Xun Lu had possessed Fang Yaoyao’s body and also controlled Xiaoyue.

Now, all three of them were trapped inside. It was a bit of a headache. If she wanted to kill Xun Lu later, she had to save Fang Yaoyao and Xiaoyue’s lives. She had to think of a good plan.
