Night Owl's Revenge

Cold Wave swept in, leaving the world desolate.

As the saying goes, "All birds have vanished from the mountains, and all guns have been used to annihilate the masses," the once bustling traffic has now turned into scattered specks.

It took Bai Zhi quite a while to finally hail a taxi. Even though the air conditioning was on, the driver was still freezing. Bai Zhi was practically the last Passenger.

"... So why did you follow me here?"

After getting into the back seat, Bai Zhi turned around and looked at the Young Girl who had followed him in without hesitation. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"There's no one in the Dormitory, and no food. I don't want to involve other people. What's wrong with me staying at your place for a while?"

Propping her head with one hand, she turned to look out the window, letting out a soft hum. A hint of resentment still lingered in Young Girl voice.

"Besides, we've been sharing a room before, and I'm just staying at your place temporarily. Is that too much to ask? Or are you going to abandon me so soon?"

Bai Zhi: "..."

Bai Zhi glanced at the driver in the front seat, whose gaze had instantly sharpened, and silently turned his head away.

If the conversation continues on this topic, the driver might suddenly have a burst of righteous indignation and decide to give him a good lesson in being a "scumbag corrector" right there on the spot...

To be honest, although he did inherit some of the original owner's memories, he really didn't have any real connection to his seven ex-girlfriends. To be specific, it was like watching a few movies that had nothing to do with him.

After all, there are many paths in the world, everyone goes their own way, and it's better to part ways and live our own lives happily. Anyway, Bai Zhi felt that he would never have any contact with those ex-girlfriends again.

However, he never expected that one of the three Teammate he was matched with in the Novice Quest would be one of his ex-girlfriends... Could there be a more coincidence than this?

Of course, that's not the main point. The main point is that he encountered the other party in three consecutive missions: a Novice Quest, a Game Dungeon, and a Mandatory Quest.

As his third ex-girlfriend, [ATM Machine No. 3], Mu Qiansè, Bai Zhi had some impression and understanding of her, but it was limited to the impression that she was very timid and easily frightened, even to the point of crying when she went to the movies alone.

But now...

Turning his head to look at the Young Girl sitting next to him, propping her chin up with her hand and lost in thought as she watched the scenery flashing by outside the car window, Bai Zhi silently labeled her as "troublesome" in his mind.

During this shopping trip, in addition to buying a large amount of instant noodles, Bai Zhi also bought more than a dozen bottles of bottled Purified Water, considering that the water supply had been cut off. If used sparingly, it should last for about half a month.

Of course, he couldn't possibly carry all these things back by himself, so apart from the things that were obviously there to avoid attention, he put everything else into his Inventory when no one was looking.

Upon arriving at the residential area, Bai Zhi got out of the car and, under the warning look of the kind-hearted driver, paid the fare with a wry smile. He then carried the bags meant to conceal his identity and walked into the residential area, while Mu Qiansè followed behind him, her arms crossed and slightly trembling.

There was no biting wind or heavy snow, but the weather was just so cold that people were shivering.

Bai Zhi at least put on a few extra layers of clothing before coming out, but Mu Qiansè, who lived in the Dormitory, wasn't so lucky. The temperature was only around 20 degrees Celsius in the morning, but after finishing a task and waking up, the temperature had dropped below zero.

If her Constitution attributes hadn't also been improved through the gym in the Tombstone Apartment, Bai Zhi probably wouldn't have met her at the Store; he would have met her at the hospital instead.

Due to the arrival of the Cold Wave, Mu Qiansè did not prepare any winter clothes in her Dormitory. All she had were autumn clothes, which were fine to wear when the temperature was around 20 degrees Celsius, but wearing them in sub-zero temperatures would basically be asking for trouble.

That's why Mu Qiansè decided to go to the Store to buy clothes and some essential supplies.

Common people who know nothing might just think it's a common drop in temperature caused by the arrival of cold air, but for those Player who have a basic understanding and have come into contact with the darkness hidden beneath the light of this world, no one will believe the official explanations given to the common public.

If the Cold Wave affecting the entire Binhai City was actually triggered by a large-scale Anomaly Incident, then the Players in the Binhai City must prepare in advance... to face the Anomaly!!

Only Player can fight against the Anomaly; in order to protect their world, Players have long since had no other choice.

--Mu Qiansè is the same.

After braving the Cold Wave and finally arriving at Xinglong Mall, she coincidentally spotted her ex-boyfriend... Bai Zhi.

It can't really be considered a coincidence, after all, with that guy's perfect looks, he'd be the most eye-catching person no matter where he is.

After spending Seven Days together at the Mubei Apartment, especially the few days they shared a room, Mu Qiansè had already forgiven her ex-boyfriend, whom she once hated so much she wanted to tear him to pieces. In fact, the words he didn't say at the end, which were interrupted by others, made her start to overthink and feel insecure.

She had intended to feign modesty and greet her ex-boyfriend properly, but she never expected how despicable he was. In front of everyone, she was mistaken for someone who had deliberately tried to flirt with him because of his good looks... So she didn't hesitate to turn back time.

Everything I did afterward was simply giving them a taste of their own medicine... You'll have to pretend you don't know me with that look of utter astonishment!!

This is revenge from Night Owl!!!

--Then, immersed in the pleasure of getting revenge on her ex-boyfriend, she forgot something very, very important.

Looking at Bai Zhi walking ahead of her, the Young Girl following behind, arms crossed and trembling, finally remembered what had happened.

So what exactly did I go to the Store for... the clothes I wanted to buy?

And... why did I even come along out of spite?
