Chapter 6: This Should Be Considered... Human Nature? (Seeking Follow-up Reads!!!)
As it turns out, taking shortcuts leads to no good end.
However, the System's reprimand indirectly confirmed that Su Yuan's actions just now weren't bad, but rather a great deed, so Su Yuan didn't have any psychological burden.
Although he couldn't complete the System Task with this abandoned takeout, it wasn't a big problem. He could just deliver a few more orders tonight.
Su Yuan shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and stepped onto his Shared Flying Sword, preparing to leave.
But just then, a beam of sword light suddenly cut through the rain from afar, drawing attention.
Su Yuan followed the direction of the sword light and saw a young girl with simple clothing and exquisite features charging towards the dilapidated Residential Community with palpable Sha Qi.
The girl's delicate jade-like face was cold, and an aura Su Yuan was extremely familiar with surrounded her.
It was the resentment of a worker.
He felt this resentment could revive ten Evil Sword Immortals.
What surprised Su Yuan was that this girl was actually someone he knew.
His classmate, the top three in Taihua High School's grade, the first in their class, and the Class Monitor of Su Yuan's class, Chen Nuoyi.
Su Yuan felt a surge of respect.
This was a Monster who scored 685 on the monthly exam, a higher being with a reproductive barrier separating her from a mere Kala Mi like himself with 550 points!
"But why is Classmate Chen appearing in this old Residential Community?"
Su Yuan was a little puzzled.
He always thought that a divine first-place student would drive a luxury car and live in a mansion. Chen Nuoyi's usual aloof demeanor was also no different from the Young Ladies on TV.
While he was thinking, Chen Nuoyi had already stopped at the entrance of an Apartment Building, her beautiful eyes scanning the steps at the entrance, as if searching for something.
When she couldn't find it after searching everywhere, the Sha Qi on her pretty face grew even more intense!
Su Yuan: "..."
Did that Apartment Building Chen Nuoyi was at look a bit familiar?
If he remembered correctly, wasn't that where he found the Assembled Meal?
Could she be looking for that Assembled Meal?
Su Yuan's heart tightened slightly. He glanced at the Assembled Meal bobbing in the sewage of the trash can and then at the customer's name at the end of its receipt.
Chen Nuoyi.
He retracted his gaze as if shocked.
Hiss—Sweating profusely, everyone!
Although Su Yuan believed he had done a good deed, looking at the increasingly murderous girl not far away, he was still a little scared.
If the divine first-place student discovered that he was the culprit, would she kill him in her anger with a sword?
Su Yuan swallowed his saliva and slowly began to inch away, ready to slip away.
But the moment he moved, Chen Nuoyi's eyes immediately swept over. Upon seeing Su Yuan's face, the girl was slightly stunned.
"Class Monitor, what a coincidence..."
After being discovered, Su Yuan greeted her awkwardly.
Chen Nuoyi's Flying Sword flashed, and she instantly appeared before Su Yuan. Her voice, as cold as a winter lake, rang out:
"Su Yuan, did you see the takeout left at the entrance of that Apartment Building just now?"
Su Yuan nervously hid the trash can containing the Assembled Meal behind him and shook his head:
"I didn't notice. I just delivered a takeout order here a minute ago."
Chen Nuoyi nodded slightly, the Sha Qi in her beautiful eyes intensifying:
"Damn Takeout Thief, don't let me catch you!"
She had volunteered for overtime during her part-time job today, causing her takeout to be delivered before she could get back. She was drenched in the rain on the way, and all she wanted was to eat a hot meal when she got home, only to have her longed-for takeout stolen!
All these annoying things combined made Chen Nuoyi's temper explode!
The boiling killing intent made Su Yuan's expression increasingly unnatural.
He could lie to Security Guard Uncle Wang without batting an eye, but facing this divine class first, he naturally felt a sense of fear.
This was probably the Bloodline Suppression of 685 points over 550 points.
Besides, he was in the wrong in the first place. Since the victim had come knocking, he should offer some compensation.
Su Yuan cautiously suggested:
"Class Monitor, the takeout is lost, it's lost. If you're hungry now, why don't we go eat something nearby to make do?"
Chen Nuoyi was stunned again. She looked up at the person in front of her and noticed the unnatural expression on Su Yuan's face, asking suspiciously:
"Why do I feel like you're a bit guilty? Like you've done something wrong."
Su Yuan: "...Woman's intuition? How terrifying!"
I have to brush it off!
At the critical moment, Su Yuan's brain spun faster than ever before, and in the blink of an eye, he came up with an excuse:
"This is mainly because I made a mistake before, so it's normal for me to feel guilty when I see you."
He had stolen snacks and played on his phone quite a bit when he was in school, so it was normal to feel guilty seeing the Class Monitor, right?
"Made a mistake?"
When this vague explanation came out, Chen Nuoyi didn't immediately think of class matters. Instead, her mind flashed with the bullet comments she often saw when browsing short videos not long ago.
Made a mistake to *** when I was little, made a mistake to *** before.
It's human nature, completely agree, easy to do, understandable, excusable, unheard of, Bush Gomen...
Out of curiosity, she specifically searched what these bullet comments were about, and then the door to a new world opened.
And now, a similar remark appeared in reality, and the person involved was actually herself?!
Chen Nuoyi's heart skipped a beat, and the Sha Qi in her beautiful eyes decreased significantly.
She was silent for a moment and said hesitantly:
"This should be considered... human nature?"
Su Yuan: "???"
It took a full ten seconds for Su Yuan's brain to crash before he could analyze the cause and effect from his own words and Chen Nuoyi's reply. He was completely speechless.
No way, man!
Class Monitor, with your respectable appearance, you watch those kinds of videos too?
Damn it, I'm making things worse!
So you're that kind of human nature, huh? You're quite confident in yourself!
But it's not wrong, the girl in front of him is indeed beautiful, hey!
Su Yuan had to be more explicit for Chen Nuoyi to realize she had misunderstood.
This made her cool and composed expression almost break!
Chen Nuoyi, Chen Nuoyi, you can't keep watching these trash videos anymore, because your thoughts have become impure because of them!
And because Su Yuan interrupted, Chen Nuoyi also forgot about the stolen Assembled Meal.
She politely declined Su Yuan's invitation, said goodbye, and entered the Apartment Building.
Watching the Class Monitor disappear from sight, Su Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued delivering Takeout in the rain.
In the evening, the rain shower caused by the Water Dragon's passage had long stopped, and Su Yuan had once again experienced "Meal Loss."
[Ding dong, novice Demon Lord Mission completed]
[Mission reward "Pure Devil Heart" has been issued!]
["Pure Devil Heart" effect: The spiritual platform is forever pure and immaculate, greatly improving focus when doing anything!]
The moment he received the Pure Devil Heart, Su Yuan felt his mind become extremely calm, and the chaotic and useless distracting thoughts in his mind were swept away.
This state of extreme focus was something Su Yuan could only barely achieve after meditating cross-legged for more than half an hour before.
Well, from now on, my boss won't have to worry about me slacking off at work.
Damn it, does the System want him to be a complete workhorse?
