Chapter 143 I... I Think I'M A Yandere
Long Mian, the manager of the snack supermarket.
Ma Jicheng, Su Tao's mentor.
Chi Xiaocheng left the house and walked along the road, continuously repeating these two names in her heart. Having understood the early plot of the original novel, she naturally knew the pressure these two people exerted on Su Tao.
The former constantly made things difficult for Su Tao at the store, withheld her wages in various ways, and assigned her arduous tasks. In the original novel, this provided Ye Liang with an opportunity for a "hero saves the beauty" scenario, allowing him to show off and put them in their place.
The latter, as Su Tao's mentor, after Su Tao displayed extraordinary literary talent during her university enrollment, gaslighted Su Tao and tricked her into writing a thesis, claiming it was for publication in a journal to pave her way. But in reality, the thesis Su Tao wrote was published solely under her mentor's name, having absolutely nothing to do with Su Tao.
These two characters were written by the author specifically to sicken readers, to torment Su Tao, and then to give Ye Liang opportunities to show off and put others in their place.
Chi Xiaocheng had wanted to deal with them for Su Tao before. But she had constantly been entangled by various matters, and moreover, she lacked justification. She truly couldn't handle these annoying matters, but if she just dealt with the people, wouldn't the problems resolve themselves? Who dared to give them the guts to bully her Tao Tao?
As she stepped out of the elevator, Chi Xiaocheng made a call to Si Chen.
"Hello, is this Chi Xiaocheng? What's the matter?"
"Send a few people to wait for me at the school gate."
"What do you need my people for?"
"To resolve a conflict."
"???"
She hung up the call with Si Chen, and just as she stepped out of the residential complex, Chi Xiaocheng's Alertness skill suddenly made her stop dead in her tracks. Someone was secretly watching her!
Was it Ye Liang? Or was it Lin Fangya targeting Su Tao?
Chi Xiaocheng immediately looked towards the system's store. During her previous fake death, including the past two days, Su Tao and others had provided a total of 3466 Emotion Points. Had Su Tao not already developed strong resilience to stress before this, from whom she had already extracted a good amount of Emotion Points, she might have accumulated even more!
Even though Chi Xiaocheng had spent several hundred points on various preparations in the past few days, and consumed many Emotion Points by taking medicine, she still had 2687 points left! A single substitute straw doll was definitely not enough for self-preservation.
Stepping back into the residential complex, Chi Xiaocheng pretended to take out her phone and make a call under a pavilion. In reality, she was speaking to the system.
"Let's do a ten-draw, System."
[Host, you can actually spend Emotion Points to buy specific items you need from the store. In your blackened state, you don't need to fear excessive danger.]
"System, what are you talking about? How could I..." Chi Xiaocheng paused abruptly mid-sentence. She raised a hand, gazed at her delicate palm, and fell silent for a moment.
"So, I'm in a blackened state now..." The words jolted her awake.
She hadn't even activated her Acting skill. These past few days, she hadn't even considered whether she was a yandere or not; she had merely followed her heart's desires, keeping Tao Tao at home, protecting her, possessing her... And then, over time, Tao Tao might slowly fall in love with her...
She even thought that her constantly using the system's expensive medicine to supplement vitamin C, then adding it to orange juice for Su Tao to drink, was all a normal part of the process. Because many times, only by doing so would Su Tao pay attention to her.
"Is it because of Dark Xiaocheng that I've become a yandere?" Or is it because of that night in the bathtub, when she was afraid and subconsciously craved everything about Tao Tao? After all, during that period, she clearly felt her life draining away little by little. She genuinely thought she would die, but then she remembered this was actually a fake death plan, part of the scheme. The thought of Su Tao allowed her to persevere and endure. Yet, in the end, she still lost consciousness amidst calling out 'Tao Tao' again and again. She still couldn't hold on until the very end, and she even regretted formulating such a fake death plan.
"So, did such an experience change me?" Or rather, "Am I a yandere to begin with?!"
Chi Xiaocheng was a bit dazed. As the sun emerged, a reflection from somewhere slowly brought her back to her senses. She could rationally perceive her past self, but once angered by something, that rationality would gradually diminish.
Chi Xiaocheng remained silent for a long time, then slowly said to the system, "Do the ten-draw."
[Alright, Host.]
[Ten-draw in progress...]
[Obtained: High-Efficiency Vitamin C Pills * 5 (No orange juice? Supplementing Vitamin C is perfectly reasonable, right?)]
[Obtained: Sedative * 1 (Can quickly calm a person's emotions)]
[Obtained: Stress-Relief Pills * 2 (Take before bed, guaranteed no dreams, 100% chance of an eight-hour good night's sleep, relieves stress and fatigue)]
[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a Mid-level Skill: Potential Burst]
[Potential Burst (Mid-level): Passive skill. When the Host strongly desires to perform a certain action, their potential will be squeezed out and burst forth in an instant. In extreme conditions, they can even dodge bullets. Weakened for 10 minutes after the skill ends.]
[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a Mid-level Skill: Precise Scalpel]
[Precise Scalpel (Mid-level): When using blade-type weapons, the Host will receive comprehensive buffs and enhancements. Strikes will be extremely precise, almost never deviating from the targeted objective.]
Two skills, and no useless items at all! Moreover, most importantly, the self-preservation and attack skills Chi Xiaocheng had longed for were both obtained in this draw!
Although the mid-level Potential Burst was a passive skill and not stable, when combined with the Alertness skill, dodging bullets truly wouldn't be difficult for Chi Xiaocheng. And this Potential Burst could even be combined with the Scalpel skill!
Blackened state + Scalpel + Potential Burst.
Even ten Si Chens probably wouldn't be enough for her to fight, would they?
Chi Xiaocheng took out the fruit knife from her pocket, feeling like a great hero from a novel. With a slight flick of her finger, she executed a beautiful and stylish knife flourish. Now, she even felt like she could peel an apple into a Chinese knot with her eyes closed.
The acquisition of the system skills reduced Chi Xiaocheng's unease about the outside world. She silently said in her heart, "System, thank you."
[It's the Host's good luck, it has nothing to do with this system.]
[Additionally, Host, although you might think I'm meddling, I must mention that in your current state, it might be very difficult to gain the female lead Su Tao's affection.]
Chi Xiaocheng raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you a villain system?"
[Although I am a villain system, the protagonists we're supposed to deal with are Ye Liang and them! Tao Tao is too pitiful, woo woo woo woo.]
Hearing this, Chi Xiaocheng looked up at the clear sky and fell silent for a long time again.
"But Tao Tao doesn't even like me, does she?" Chi Xiaocheng murmured to herself, her eyes growing dim with dejection. "If I don't use orange juice, if I'm not like I was before, will Tao Tao still stay by my side?"
Chi Xiaocheng's words also made the system fall silent.
When she was well-behaved, Su Tao would be perfunctory with her. Because when she was well-behaved, nothing would happen to her, so Su Tao went to find her fiancé, and even lied to her about the engagement matters at the hospital. But now that she wasn't well-behaved, that she had become abnormal, Su Tao was afraid again.
Then what exactly can I do to make her fall in love with me?
"Or rather, will she still like me?"
