Chapter 61: Slave
After parting with Bai Shuchuan, Su Moyu went back to the dorm. She had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she decided to play some games. At this rate, she might really become one of those “game-addicted girls” you see in anime.
She had finally broken up before and gained some freedom, so she should enjoy games properly…
Anyway, Bai Shuchuan wouldn’t get upset just because she played games, right?
Thinking this, Su Moyu pushed open the dorm door and found it empty.
“They probably went to eat…” she thought. She walked to her desk, sat down, and started cleaning it.
Bai Shuchuan’s computer was quite good. He had saved up money from part-time work after graduating high school to buy it.
Su Moyu sat down, connected the controller, and opened the game she had been wanting to play for a long time. Just then, the dorm door opened. She turned her head and saw her three roommates walk in.
Qu Xintong froze for a moment when she saw the screen.
“Susu, why are you playing this?!”
Hearing that reaction, Su Moyu immediately felt something was wrong.
Oh no… could it be…
Did this version of her not play games?
“Uh… what’s wrong?” Su Moyu asked, a bit nervous.
It wasn’t strange for girls to play this kind of difficult action game, but it wasn’t very common. And in this version of the world, Su Moyu was even bad at simple games like mobile ones, so she probably didn’t touch hard games like this.
Her brain worked quickly, trying to find a good excuse.
“Last time you said my games were too violent,” Qu Xintong said, confused. “Why are you playing it now?”
She knew it!
“Well… Bai Shuchuan taught me how to play. I found it interesting, so I started liking it,” Su Moyu explained.
Qu Xintong’s expression immediately turned excited. “Really, Susu? You actually like this game?”
Seeing her so excited, Su Moyu was a bit surprised.
“Yeah… it’s pretty fun…”
Actually, she had already finished the game twice before, so there was no need to say how much she liked it, but it was better to keep it low-key.
“Right, right! It’s really fun, isn’t it? That feeling of cutting down monsters with a sword! And after dying so many times, finally beating the boss, it feels amazing! And when you finish an enemy with a final strike, that feeling is so satisfying! You get it, right?”
The girl with glasses had shining eyes, completely different from the quiet, hardworking top student image Su Moyu had before.
So this was Qu Xintong’s real personality…
Su Moyu was thinking when she noticed Qu Xintong looking at her with expectation.
“Yeah, yeah! Beating those bosses that kept bullying you really feels great,” Su Moyu quickly agreed.
Now she was basically sure, this top student in her class was also a game addict.
And they even played the same game. That was honestly pretty cool.
Su Moyu watched as Qu Xintong pushed up her glasses and smiled. “So where are you in the game now?”
Su Moyu glanced at the playtime and realized Bai Shuchuan hadn’t really played this game much.
“My last save got messed up, so I’m starting over.”
Qu Xintong nodded. “Then if you have any questions, just ask me!”
Seeing her like this, Su Moyu suddenly understood why she was so enthusiastic.
Maybe before, she was the only one in the dorm who liked this kind of game, so she didn’t have anyone to talk about it with.
And now, by chance, Su Moyu had become someone who shared the same interest with her.
Su Moyu watched as Qu Xintong went back to her seat and sat down.
Zhou Ya and Yan Hanyue didn’t really play games. They preferred watching dramas and following idols. In Su Moyu’s impression, Qu Xintong had always been a quiet, hardworking top student.
She usually dressed very simply, unlike Zhou Ya and Yan Hanyue, who liked to dress up nicely.
“Is it really that fun?” Zhou Ya got curious seeing the two of them talking so excitedly, so she came over to look at the screen. Su Moyu had just finished the beginner stage.
“It’s pretty interesting,” Su Moyu replied.
“The graphics look kind of dark…” Zhou Ya complained softly. “Oh right, Susu, about the volunteer activity this afternoon, who are you teaming up with?”
“What??”
“I have a volunteer activity?” Su Moyu quickly put down the controller and picked up her phone to check the school website. Sure enough, she had signed up for a volunteer activity this afternoon…
She signed up before the National Day holiday, no wonder she forgot.
“You don’t even read the messages I send you,” Zhou Ya said, sounding a bit unhappy.
Su Moyu gave her an apologetic smile. “I didn’t notice my phone.”
“I’m mad at you,” Zhou Ya muttered.
“Sorry~”
But from her tone, Su Moyu knew she wasn’t really angry.
If Zhou Ya were her girlfriend… then right now…
Yeah, she could already imagine herself trying to comfort her.
“Fine, I forgive you,” Zhou Ya said.
The so-called volunteer activity was basically just doing labor for the school. The school had received a new batch of lab equipment, and they needed people to clean and sort it.
Su Moyu followed the notice and found the volunteer group chat. To her surprise, she had muted it.
She couldn’t help but sigh, this version of herself really didn’t care much. Not just physically well-endowed, but also mentally carefree.
And all this just for a small amount of credits.
She sighed again. She had barely started playing, and now she had to go work in the lab like free labor.
“I don’t know who I’m paired with. I’ll just find someone there,” Su Moyu said. She didn’t really mind. It was just some temporary work, as long as her partner didn’t slack off, it was fine.
“Maybe you should… change your skirt first,” Yan Hanyue reminded her.
Only then did Su Moyu suddenly remember, you couldn’t wear a skirt in the lab.
Of all times to decide to wear one!
She felt a bit embarrassed at herself.
“Guess I have no choice,” she sighed. She stood up, opened her wardrobe, and saw several outfits inside.
She really had a lot of clothes.
And so many different styles. It always made her hesitate for a long time before choosing what to wear.
She even had to look up outfit ideas online sometimes.
After changing, she put on a lab coat and followed Zhou Ya and Yan Hanyue to the lab.
By the time she arrived, most people were already there.
The teacher gave some simple instructions and then dismissed everyone. Su Moyu went to the lab station assigned to her and started opening the boxes of equipment on the table.
Credits, credits… she was still a total “credit chaser,” even after being reborn.
She tried to lift a cardboard box from the floor onto the table, but her strength was just too little now.
“Sorry, I’m late,” a gentle male voice suddenly reached her ears.
