Chapter 49: Lun Sang High School (1)
The No. 11 wolf brother was voted out in the very first round. The Wolf Team's grand strategist, Jiang Ting, was poisoned by the Witch. Seeing four Villagers and three Power Roles still on the field, the remaining two wolves' will to win instantly evaporated.
Jiang Ting's performance was obvious to all; no one suspected him. The Wolf Team could only admire the Witch's incredibly accurate read.
In a game like this, even gods couldn't save them. In the end, the Town Faction claimed victory.
The end of the Werewolf Game was only the beginning of the Survival Game.
Ji Ning's previous three Survival Games had all been in a six-men-six-women format. This was the first time she'd encountered a format variation, and she was both curious and expectant.
Three familiar old partners—what roles would they have this time?
【Sandbox loaded. Players are being deployed...】
"Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring…"
"Ning-Ning, class is starting, wake up."
In her drowsy haze, Ji Ning vaguely heard a girl's voice calling her.
She lifted her head from her arms and looked toward the source of the sound. It was a delicate-looking girl with straight bangs and a single ponytail, wearing a white school uniform blouse. A name tag was pinned to her chest—Class 10, Grade 11, Jia Shuang.
Her vision gradually cleared. Behind Jia Shuang, the classroom was bright and clean, sparsely filled with students in identical blouses. Famous quotes hung on the white walls.
Turning to her left, she saw lush parasol trees outside the window.
A familiar atmosphere, yet a completely unfamiliar environment. Ji Ning was now fully awake. She had entered a school instance this time.
【Welcome to the "Erotic Survival Game." This instance is "Lun Sang High School." Instance difficulty: one star.】
【Player No. 6 Ji Ning, your character setting for this instance is "Green Tea Bitch."】
【Game Rules: Integrate into the unfolding events and act according to the Clearance Condition. Those who fail to clear will be completely eliminated.】
【Game Taboos: 1. Do not go out of character (OOC). 2. Do not obstruct or alter the course of events. Any violation will result in complete elimination.】
【Game Hint: Death of a Camel.】
【Clearance Condition: To be unlocked】
Ji Ning looked at the bottom of the holographic screen prompt. Just like on the Lewd Cruise, it was "To be unlocked." This was probably another case-solving instance.
What was interesting was that this time, she didn't have an identity, only a character setting.
"Green Tea Bitch"?
Ji Ning noticed a small mirror on her desk and picked it up for a look.
Seeing her reflection, Ji Ning sighed. Definitely a green tea girl. A high school sophomore, yet her hair was curled and she was wearing a full face of natural-looking makeup.
Thinking back to her own high school days, she was far plainer than this.
And back then, her spring and autumn uniforms were the oversized blue and green tracksuit style with long sleeves and pants, while the summer uniform was a non-breathable, see-through polo shirt with long pants.
But this current uniform, with its delicate little blouse and pleated skirt, looked like something from an expensive private school.
Ji Ning looked up and scanned the room. The teacher was lecturing on classical Chinese at the podium, while the students below were all doing their own thing. Even her refined deskmate Jia Shuang was playing on her phone behind a towering pile of books.
With discipline this bad, it truly was Lun Sang High School.
Ji Ning sat towards the back. Among the students sitting in front of her, she had already spotted several players she'd seen in the Werewolf Game. However, the people she wanted to see were nowhere to be found.
Just as she was wondering, someone tapped her shoulder from behind.
Ji Ning turned her head and was instantly dazzled by the handsome face of a boy with red lips, white teeth, and little dimples.
Behind her, in the last row by the window, sat none other than Song Weiyang.
Blending in perfectly, Song Weiyang passed Ji Ning a small note.
Ji Ning pursed her lips in a smile, took it, and turned back to her seat to open it.
The note read: "Wanna hit the snack shop after class?" with a simple smiley face drawn on it.
Her deskmate Jia Shuang nosily leaned over to look and whispered, "Ning-Ning, when did you hook up with the Campus Heartthrob?"
This… Ji Ning thought to herself, Before your data was even generated. Aloud, she carefully chose her words in a green tea tone and replied, "I don't know, Shuangshuang. I didn't do anything."
Jia Shuang gently nudged Ji Ning's shoulder with an "I get it" look.
Ji Ning smiled, took a pen from her pencil case, and wrote a reply on the note.
Before she started writing, Ji Ning thought for a moment and changed the "Sure" she was about to write into "Okay."
Then she folded the note and used the most traditional method—keeping her body still, she reached her left hand around behind her to pass the note.
Song Weiyang took the note and, in the same motion, held Ji Ning's hand and tickled her palm, making it itch terribly.
For the rest of the class, Ji Ning found the name of the high school in her notebook—Feimeng International School.
She then searched it on her phone and browsed the school's forum for a bit, learning that the student body here consisted of three types: those with rich families, those with powerful families, and those with excellent personal grades.
Ji Ning flipped through her own textbooks. They were pristine. It seemed she didn't belong to the "excellent grades" category.
Thank goodness. She had graduated high school two years ago and had forgotten most of the material. If her character setting also required good grades, that would have been way too difficult for her.
When the bell rang for the end of class, Ji Ning, under Jia Shuang's envious gaze, followed Song Weiyang out the back door of the classroom.
Both of them were outsiders and didn't know where the snack shop was, but following the crowd was usually a safe bet.
Along the way, many NPCs greeted Song Weiyang and Ji Ning. Even though they didn't know a single one, they both pretended to be familiar and responded to each one.
Ji Ning couldn't help but think that compared to the three other instances she'd experienced, this one felt the closest to reality and had the tightest connection between NPCs and players.
It was a strange feeling, and it also made one marvel at the system's power.
The snack shop was on the first floor of the West Cafeteria. Song Weiyang grabbed two bottles of iced cola, while Ji Ning picked out a lychee-flavored lollipop and a strawberry-flavored one.
She had noticed that Jia Shuang's pencil case and notebooks all had strawberries on them, so she figured Shuangshuang must like them.
Song Weiyang took Ji Ning's lollipops and paid for everything together at the register with his meal card.
After buying their things, they turned back towards the Grade 11 teaching building.
Although they hadn't communicated much, they shared a tacit understanding: they were exploring the instance map.
But exploring the map didn't mean they couldn't get a little frisky.
When they reached the staircase on the first floor, Song Weiyang stuffed the cola into his pocket, suddenly pulled Ji Ning around to the back of the stairs, and trapped her against the wall.
"Let me have a taste of your lollipop."
He pulled the lollipop out of Ji Ning's mouth, pinched her chin, and leaned down to capture her lips and tongue directly.
The kiss, full of longing, was completely unreasonable. Song Weiyang kissed with urgent ferocity, sucking until half of Ji Ning's soul seemed to leave her body.
The students who had been following them all crowded at the staircase, peeking down and giggling without a shred of decorum.
"Class is about to start. What are you all doing here?"
A voice, cold as if encased in ice shards, sounded from behind them. Ji Ning opened her eyes and saw who it was, her eyes widening in shock.
"Hello, Director Jiang!"
"Teacher Jiang."
"Teacher Jiang is looking very handsome today too!"
The students greeted Jiang Ting one after another, then scattered in a flash, leaving Ji Ning and Song Weiyang to face the blizzard alone.
