Why Are the Psychos Obsessed with a Mere NPC?
Chapter 7: The Elusive F6

Chapter 7: Chapter 7: The Elusive F6

Sheng Yue returned to the villa and immediately went into the bathroom.

When he came out, he found an unexpected guest in the villa.

"What are you doing here?"

"Curious." Pei Yin’s arm was propped up on the back of the sofa.

"Those photos on the campus network, are they real? Aren’t you a germaphobe? How could you run off carrying a female student?"

Sheng Yue froze. ’Someone posted it on the campus network?’

He didn’t care.

He thought for a moment, then sat down opposite Pei Yin and told him everything.

"Someone like that really exists?" Pei Yin’s smile faded after he heard the story.

After a long silence, he teased, "Just smelling her scent can suppress the aberrant pain. If I were to kiss her, do you think the effect would be even better?"

Pei Yin was intrigued. "I’ll go grab her right now!"

"Wait. It’s not necessarily her own scent." Sheng Yue frowned. "I’ll look into it. We’ll talk after I’ve figured it out."

Pei Yin glanced at the figure outside the villa. "Too late. It seems that lunatic, Ling Yanzhi, heard everything you just said."

...

「Meanwhile.」

Jian Yu was so happy she wanted to roll around on the floor, but her face remained perfectly calm.

One million Star Coins had been deposited into her account. She wouldn’t have to be so frugal anymore!

Remembering that her persona in this world was no different from her real one, she opened her Star Brain and decisively transferred two hundred thousand to the dean.

"There’s nothing seriously wrong with you, but you have plenty of minor issues. Just get some rest and you can leave."

The school doctor came in right after Sheng Yue had been gone for about two minutes.

He sized up Jian Yu with a curious expression. "The school cafeteria food might be a little expensive, but it shouldn’t be enough to make you malnourished, right?"

The school had twenty small dining halls and seven large ones.

The most expensive meal could cost over three hundred thousand, while the cheapest was only five.

The five-coin meal came with meat and vegetables, a subsidized student meal the school provided intentionally.

Even scholarship students from poor families could eat very well.

Not to mention, scholarship students who tested into this school also received a reward of three hundred thousand Star Coins.

Since Sheng Yue had brought her here personally, the school doctor couldn’t help but add a couple more words of advice.

"Your stomach can’t handle too much stress. Don’t try to keep up with others for the sake of appearances, eating fancy meals and blowing through all your money so quickly."

Jian Yu looked up and blinked. "I have a lot of part-time jobs, so sometimes I forget to eat. It won’t happen again."

’The original character’s setup is pretty much the same as mine during high school.’

Of the three hundred thousand Star Coin enrollment award, she had only kept ten thousand for herself, sending the rest to the dean.

The doctor couldn’t resist asking, "What’s your relationship with student Sheng Yue?"

"We’re not close." Jian Yu lowered her head and started browsing the campus network.

She didn’t know what had happened after she fainted.

But seeing Sheng Yue when she woke up meant it must have caused a huge stir.

’She’s famous now.’ Jian Yu concluded, looking at the photo on the campus network of Sheng Yue carrying her out of the classroom.

’Looks like I’ll need to stay in the infirmary for a few more days.’

Jian Yu clutched her stomach. "I still don’t feel very well."

She raised her eyes and stared innocently at the school doctor.

"Student Sheng Yue already told me. The reason you fainted is that you took the medicine brought by Professor Lin."

The doctor saw right through her. "Your body is in better condition than ever. However, based on the test results, it seems the medicine was only half as effective on you."

Jian Yu hesitated. "What do you mean?"

The school doctor held a universal key card in his hand and waved it slightly. "It means your good condition can only last for a month at most."

After a two-second silence, he returned to her unspoken question.

"The number of... uh, sick scholarship students is a bit high today, so the line was long. Student Sheng Yue gave you his exclusive sickroom."

"He didn’t say how long you could stay here, but I imagine you can stay for as long as you want."

"If he wanted to kick you out, he wouldn’t have asked me to arrange for someone to deliver your meals on time."

The doctor didn’t realize that Sheng Yue had only asked him to deliver today’s lunch, not any subsequent meals.

He bent over and raised the overbed table.

"Your lunch." The doctor tapped his Space Button, and a lunchbox appeared before Jian Yu.

"The school is very flexible. If you’re not worried about failing your classes, I can personally bring you your meals from now on."

The two electronic doors slid shut.

Jian Yu buried her head in her food.

’Food from the main dining hall really is delicious. Too bad there’s no fish, my favorite.’

On the campus network, several types of discussions had appeared. Some were guessing her identity, some were expressing jealousy, and a more malicious group was planning where to corner and teach her a lesson.

’The female lead seems to know this school very well.’

As soon as the buzz about Jian Yu started, no one was talking about the female lead’s old business anymore.

’I need to buy something for self-defense as soon as possible.’

’Before that, I’ll just take a leave of absence and skip class.’

She wasn’t sure if there were really people outside waiting to beat her up.

But at least, staying in F2’s territory, she was still very safe.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

The door was knocked on. Just three times, then it stopped.

The sound wasn’t loud. It didn’t sound like someone looking for trouble.

Jian Yu thought for a moment and checked the electronic peephole.

A message popped up on her Star Brain.

Xu Jianjuan: It’s me.

A friend she had added when moving into the dorms at the start of the semester.

Two seconds passed.

Xu Jianjuan: No one else is here.

Jian Yu pressed the switch by her bed and opened the door.

Xu Jianjuan walked in.

She looked left and right. "Chief Sheng is gone?"

Jian Yu looked at the female lead. "If he hadn’t left, would you have dared to come?"

Xu Jianjuan sat down in the spot where Sheng Yue had been sitting. "A person like that... of course I wouldn’t have dared."

"You wouldn’t dare." Jian Yu’s tone took on a strange edge.

’If you really didn’t dare, you wouldn’t have targeted me in Professor Lin’s class.’

’You couldn’t possibly be betting that F2 wouldn’t bother with you, right?’

"Sys-tem," Jian Yu said tentatively.

’Whoever you are, get out of my female lead!’

"?" Xu Jianjuan looked confused.

’No system.’ Jian Yu pursed her lips. ’Could she not be a transmigrator?’

Xu Jianjuan didn’t want to prolong the stalemate with Jian Yu.

"If you don’t want to die, I advise you to stay far away from Sheng Yue."

She stood up and repeated the same words Huang Yuan had told her to Jian Yu.

"Just endure it. Who asked you to get involved with someone you shouldn’t have? It’ll be fine once they’ve calmed down."

Jian Yu was speechless. "Isn’t my current situation exactly what you wanted to see?"

’Why are you pretending to be a good person?’

"I think you’ve misunderstood me." Xu Jianjuan’s smile was stiff.

She didn’t want to completely burn bridges with Jian Yu just yet.

"I misunderstood when I raised my hand, and I apologize for that. But you fainting had nothing to do with me. You fainted because you couldn’t handle Professor Lin’s medicine, and I wasn’t the one who told Sheng Yue to carry you."

For some unknown reason, Xu Jianjuan still added, "Anyway, be careful for the next two weeks. Don’t walk around alone."

Jian Yu scratched her chin, unable to comprehend the female lead’s actions.

When she was receiving the plot, the part she wanted to see most was the "driving" scenes.

But it was all just a bunch of "little black room" scenes, so she couldn’t tell if it was real driving or fake.

Analyzing the plot before and after the big and small "driving" scenes, Jian Yu felt the female lead shouldn’t be acting like this.

The female lead she knew was immature, clumsy, and naive, but she had managed to win over many supporters at the Noble Academy by her own strength.

The female lead organized these people efficiently, leading them to resist the nobles and winning them a change in status from prey to normal people.

In the finale, it was even specifically written that she helped many ordinary people Awaken their Beast Souls.

She was naive, loved to show off, and wore her heart on her sleeve, but her image was strong and powerful.

Not like this, just lashing out at everyone.

Xu Jianjuan’s expression was strange. "Just be careful. I’m leaving."

「Half an hour later,」 a swirling mass of black shadow appeared in the room.

Jian Yu reacted instantly, immediately going for the panic button.

TZZZT.

A wisp of black smoke, just like a snake’s tail, shot past her hand and corroded the bedside call button.

Jian Yu’s eyes widened, and she opened her mouth to scream for help.

The black smoke covered her mouth.

The long black shadow, like a tornado, rapidly transformed into a person.

He was tall, half a head taller than even Sheng Yue.

The man’s skin gradually turned porcelain white, his facial features becoming distinct.

His hair was messy, a mix of black and red, with crimson tips falling casually.

His pupils were a light black, but in the blink of an eye, they held a piercing, vermilion red glow.

It was F6, Ling Yanzhi!

Jian Yu was caught off guard and pinned down.

"Mmph!"

A hand replaced the smoke, clamping over her mouth.

As she struggled, Jian Yu felt something wrap around her legs, and her wrists were pinned above her head.

The texture was smooth and slippery.

"So fragrant."

The man’s deep, pleasant voice whispered in her ear like a sigh.
