30. Jealousy
The next day, Yun Ling walked towards school with Mei with a big bump on his head.
"Squat Leader Mei, was it really because you were startled by a bug that suddenly appeared and then slipped and hit my head against the wall and passed out?"
Yun Ling asked Mei beside him.
It was very strange. He vaguely felt that something interesting and exciting had happened yesterday, but he couldn't remember it.
"Of course. I didn't expect that you, Yun Ling, are so timid that you are afraid of insects." Mei chuckled.
"Hiss... This shouldn't be the case..." Yun Ling touched the big bump on his head, and the pain made him grimace.
What kind of bug could scare him like this? He's not some weird guy who would feel cold and scared even if he sees an insect.
"Dog System, did something happen last night?"
Yun Ling asked the system in his head.
『To answer the dog host's question, this system never records your private life, so this system does not know what happened to you.』
The system just replied indifferently.
Yun Ling rolled his eyes. For some reason, he always had an inexplicable contempt for the dog system. Generally speaking, shouldn't time travelers be excited and trusting of their own golden fingers?
After all, this is his only support and capital to survive in the world of Honkai Impact 3rd.
Just as Yun Ling was thinking, Kiana caught up from behind and stood beside Mei Yi.
"Mei, good morning!"
"Good morning, Kiana," Mei responded with a smile.
The two of them started chatting happily, leaving Yun Ling alone, poking the bump on his head.
Perhaps he could try to control the "water" in his body to eliminate the swelling?
This is a nice and novel angle!
After all, the human body is mostly made up of water.
But... he is not very clear about the body structure, maybe he needs to learn a little about biology?
Yun Ling's strength improvement is still very slow, perhaps because he has not received systematic training, or perhaps because his talent is not outstanding.
Just like Ling in the simulation, he is a mediocre person.
The only difference is that he has a simulator, which probably has the effect of changing his fate.
Maybe one day it'll give him some better talents and help him take off.
However, the simulator is too random, so you still have to prepare a little bit yourself.
"You guys go to school first, I'm going to the bookstore to buy some things." Yun Ling said to the two of them.
The two of them nodded without any suspicion.
Soon, Yun Ling walked out of the bookstore, carrying several medical books, such as those on the biological structure of the human body.
When I arrived at the classroom, I unexpectedly discovered that the desks of the three people were not painted black. I guess they knew that the three of them were not easy to mess with.
Although Kiana didn't show it, her performance in physical education class was outstanding.
But in other classes...
However, Yun Ling and Kiyana are just as bad as each other; one is second to last, and the other is last, so no one should laugh at the other.
After experiencing the internal conflict in his previous life, Yun Ling's mentality has become much calmer.
Even though things are so loose here, it's still hard to muster up the strength.
After thinking about it, Yun Ling picked up the books he bought in the morning and started reading as if no one was around.
The countless technical terms made Yun Ling feel overwhelmed, and he could only slow down his reading speed a little by little.
"Hmm? Yun Ling, what are you doing..."
Mei seemed to have discovered something. She walked forward and looked at the book in Yun Ling's hand, and there was a hint of panic in her eyes.
In the dream, Yun Ling started studying medicine to help her solve the problem of the stigmata in her body, and achieved considerable success.
But after being examined by two doctors from Anti-Entropy, they discovered that Yun Ling had been subjected to some kind of mental pollution. The more knowledge he learned, the more devoted he became.
Then the speed of spiritual pollution will be faster.
Raiden Mei was afraid that Yun Ling, in reality, would also be polluted by some kind of mental pollution.
"Oh, this is just to kill time when I'm bored." Yun Ling made up an excuse casually.
"Hmm..." Mei's expression improved a lot.
"What's wrong?" Yun Ling looked at Mei in confusion.
"It's okay, it's just that Yun Ling, who has always had such poor grades, suddenly started reading books like this, and it was a little difficult for me to understand for a while." Mei looked at Yun Ling and said half-jokingly.
Yun Ling's face darkened. Although it was true that his grades were poor, it was only because he was unwilling to study. Otherwise, he would never have competed with Kiana for last place.
"If you, Mei, are here to attack me, then congratulations, you have succeeded."
Yun Ling closed the book in his hand, put it in his bag, and began to doze off.
"You're just looking for an excuse to sleep..." Mei's mouth twitched slightly.
But I feel a little relieved.
It seems that Yun Ling is not obsessed with studying medicine like in the dream, but just wants to get started.
She is very healthy now and no longer needs Yun Ling to study medicine for her so hard.
This... is really a good thing.
Mei tucked her hair behind her ears and looked at Yun Ling with eyes as gentle as water. She pursed her lips with a hint of a smile, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.
But Yun Ling, who was sleeping on the table, couldn't appreciate it.
But...someone still noticed.
Kiana was confused. With the look in Mei's eyes, did she... fall in love with Yun Ling?
She was too familiar with it. In her dreams, she also looked at Yun Ling with the same eyes...
But why?
Why does Mei fall in love with Yunling?
Kiana was in a state of confusion at this moment.
She didn't understand why her best friend fell in love with him...
Why did Yun Ling never contact her again?
Could it be that the power of the Herrscher of the Void is no longer important?
Or is it really just a game of hard to get?
But that doesn't make any sense...it's obvious that they don't have much in common right now.
Yun Ling and Mei's relationship is getting better and better, but she seems to have become an insignificant stranger in Yun Ling's eyes.
She started to get scared...
She admitted that she could not forget the warmth in her dream.
She hated Ling, but also loved Ling deeply.
Watching the two of them interacting intimately, she felt jealous, and she really wanted to take Mei's place.
But she was afraid, she was afraid that all this was fake again.
If she is abandoned again, she will definitely go crazy...
『What a coward, Kiana.』
『Why don't you just give me your body, and then you won't have to worry about it anymore.』
『I will help you kill him and turn him into ashes without leaving any trace.』
"Don't even think about it!"
Kiana gritted her teeth and resisted the temptation from the Herrscher of the Void.
Trying hard to suppress the restless emotions in her heart, Kiana also followed Yun Ling's example and fell asleep on the table.
『Heh... How long can you hold on, Kiana~?』
The Herrscher of the Void sneered and also fell into a deep sleep.
The reason why she was able to wake up from her deep sleep was because she felt a special energy.
And that energy came from Yun Ling.
She had a premonition that the opportunity for her complete resurrection might lie in Yun Ling.
