Chapter 9: Medicine and Vacation
Ahahahahaha…
If this continues, I might end up with the same ending as ‘Youthful Elegance.’
Oh dear, this is terrible~ I’m doomed~
This is utterly idiotic.
This isn’t a comedy manga. If acting cute could solve everything, life would be so much easier.
Undoubtedly, I’ve already embarked on the ‘Kitchen Knife’ ending route.
I never expected even Yu Hui to exude such an aura. It makes me lament once again that ‘Women are half angels, half devils.’
It seems Lianbing has openly declared her ownership of me, and this has significantly impacted others.
When Ruansui stepped forward previously, she maintained a good balance, but now the situation has changed.
As for what happens next, only God knows.
In other words, the original balance has been broken. If my predictions are correct, there will be all sorts of melodramatic love-rivalry incidents, and I will be the victim.
But now I’m a zombie, which means I have ‘a certain resistance to death.’ So even if I meet the kitchen knife ending, I might not die so easily.
However, I myself am not that important. What I fear most is them killing each other. If that happens…
No, no, no. I shouldn’t think about such terrible things.
Anyway, according to that guy Li Nai, zombies don’t seem to die even if their heads are cut off. And as long as the brain isn’t completely destroyed, it can regenerate (for example, being shot in the temple won’t kill you instantly).
It’s still bad that it hurts, though. I’m very afraid of pain.
And even if I don’t die on the spot, losing my head would mean losing mobility. If someone were to finish me off at that point, I would truly die.
After all, zombies lack regenerative abilities. Injuries persist in the state they were sustained. This means without someone’s help, being beheaded is no different from death.
So, I need to ‘fill’ this weakness with ‘medicine’ now.
I never expected to use this bottle of ‘medicine’ here.
I took out a small bottle from my school uniform pocket. It contained a green liquid.
This special medicine I got from Keling is said to heal wounds instantly, so I’ve been carrying it with me.
Later, I had Eddie experiment with it, and the results showed it was indeed a highly effective healing medicine that also grants the body ‘self-healing’ abilities.
That’s right, this medicine also enhances the body’s recovery capabilities, a super-rare item that increases the ‘maximum HP recovery limit.’
I wonder where Keling got it. I never expected this green liquid, which looks like poison at first glance, to have such a miraculous use.
When I was pierced in the abdomen by Akiko’s corpse, I thought about drinking this medicine, thinking it might help me last a little longer. But unexpectedly, Luo Xin Hai, who should have died, suddenly appeared and finished me off, not even giving me a chance to drink the medicine… It really highlights how important a finishing blow is.
Speaking of which, I didn’t even see how Luo Xin Hai died in the end. He must have been controlled by Bo Lianbing’s abilities and become one of the zombies in the ‘woof woof’ zombie horde.
As a result, this medicine is still with me, untouched. I don’t know if it’s effective on zombies or if it has expired.
If this medicine is also effective on zombies, perhaps my corpse could gain some recovery. But to what extent it can improve my current recovery rate, which is close to zero, is all unknown.
And if the zombie virus reacts chemically with this medicine… God knows what I’ll turn into… The risk is equally terrifying.
Images of mutated monsters from the crisis flash through my mind, giving me a slight sense of apprehension, while at the same time, a trace of wishful thinking, like ‘I won’t end up like that, will I?’
In the end, wishful thinking won by a narrow margin. I decided not to worry about it too much. Now is the time to take a gamble!
Of course, half of it was the liberating feeling of abandoning all burdens, thinking that if I die like this, I might achieve ultimate harmony in life.
I must be too stressed… I’ll just consider this medicine as an anti-stress pill.
So, I opened the cap and gulped the medicine down in one go~ “Burp~”
After drinking it, I didn’t feel anything special. The medicine wasn’t that bad either; it tasted a bit like matcha.
Not only was there no effect, but I also didn’t feel like I was about to die. It seems it was just ineffective.
Disappointed, I threw the bottle away and walked back to the classroom. Just then, the class bell rang.
As I reached the classroom door, I felt a strange sensation in my chest, making me scratch it instinctively.
Hmm? My chest is itchy?
After returning to my seat, I lifted my collar and looked down, discovering a phenomenon that filled me with joy.
“Oh oh! .
That’s right, the wound has scabbed over!
Unexpectedly, it was effective. The recovery speed is quite fast. It seems even if my head falls off, it can be reattached and recover soon.
Alright, I’ve got recovery power! Combined with my zombie immortality… This way, I have the capital to ‘court death’…
But it seems to consume a lot of energy. I actually feel a bit hungry.
Hmm, it seems Lily’s class is next. I’ll just secretly eat my lunch. She’ll probably turn a blind eye.
The teacher hasn’t arrived in the classroom yet. Lianbing, sitting behind me, asked.
“Hehehe, what is it, Jun Cheng? Did something good happen? You look so surprised.”
“Ah, yes, I’m very surprised. How should I put it… Never mind, I won’t say.”
I wanted to tell Lianbing about it, but after thinking about it, I decided not to.
“What is it? Jun Cheng, you’re keeping secrets from me. I’ll get jealous, you know?”
Ugh, she’s leaning into me, pressing those two soft mounds against me. That’s too unfair…
But even with your soft offensive, I won’t give in so easily.
“It’s nothing like that. Just consider it like winning a ‘buy one, get one free’ prize from a drink.”
“Ho ho, alright then. I’ll consider it as such… But afterwards, Jun Cheng, you’ll have to pay the price for keeping secrets from me, ‘kay?”
“I know… I know!”
So please, stop rubbing against me!
After finally managing to get Lianbing to back off, Lily the teacher walked into the classroom, and the atmosphere immediately became much quieter.
Lily replaced the former unremarkable Lili Yang… Although only a few knew they were the same person, to most students, it was as if the plain, ugly teacher had left, and a super beautiful teacher had taken her place. This excited many students, especially the male ones.
With Lily revealing her true self in front of everyone, she immediately became a hot topic in school, attracting a crowd wherever she went.
Thanks to Lily drawing most of the attention, my presence has somewhat faded… Although it’s like I’m back in a zoo because of Lanhua’s live streaming antics, she’s also deliberately steering public opinion to focus more on the ‘Ice and Snow Yuri’ matter.
But Lianbing and Xue Qing… It sounds beautiful in retrospect, but it probably won’t happen again. This time, it was because it was the first time, so Xue Qing didn’t know how to react. But if there’s a next time, it won’t be such an ‘eye-pleasing’ development. I imagine Xue Qing would wordlessly activate her Oniification and draw a dagger to attack.
Teacher Lily walked onto the lecture platform, scanned the classroom, her gaze briefly resting on me for a second or two before she coolly said, “Let’s begin class.”
I haven’t had a proper conversation with Teacher Lily in a long time.
How should I put it? It feels like she’s avoiding me… It must be because of that ‘heat’ incident. Teacher Lily is too embarrassed to face me now.
Thinking back, the teacher was quite alluring then. She was like a killer of virgins. Every male high school student must have dreamed of losing their virginity with the help of this teacher.
If the principal hadn’t interrupted, I might have been taken down…
Huh? What is this slight feeling of regret? No, no, no. I already have a girlfriend…
Speaking of which, I remember the principal mentioning before the Ghoul invasion incident that Teacher Lily’s horn replacement period was approaching, and she would need my help soon. But there’s been no news since.
It’s been almost a month. Has she already replaced them?
I pushed my glasses up and took a look. The horns still look the same as before. I can’t tell if they are the original horns or replaced ones.
If they had something like ‘stupid ox’ written on them, I could tell… Ah, carving words on horns seems a bit ridiculous. For a baby, maybe. But on the horns of a charming, seductive female succubus… it’s a bit awkward. Ah, I shouldn’t think about it. I should eat first.
I propped up my textbook and opened my lunchbox. Just as I was about to start eating, someone called my name.
“An Jun Cheng!”
I didn’t react for a moment and paused slightly. The piece of meat I had picked up fell back onto the lunchbox.
Looking up and seeing Teacher Lily’s piercing gaze, I quickly put down my chopsticks and stood up to respond. “Yes!”
“… Come here and solve this problem.”
Fortunately, Teacher Lily didn’t expose my eating during class. She just asked me to come to the front to solve a problem.
I stood up and walked to the platform. Before leaving, I glanced back at my seat. Li Nai, sitting next to me, had already reached out her devilish hands towards my… Damn it! What speed! Hey, leave me a few mouthfuls!
No, I have to finish this quickly and go back! Otherwise, I won’t have anything to eat!
I went to the front and looked at the blackboard. I knew this problem.
I wasn’t just playing around while hospitalized. I did study.
And after being discharged, I realized I had fallen behind in my studies, so I made sure to catch up.
Although I haven’t read much lately due to my organization’s missions, I shouldn’t have fallen too far behind…
… Hmm?
However, I looked at the blackboard again.
I’ve seen this problem before. I’ve even solved it. It’s not very… difficult. But I can’t recall the ‘answer’ or the ‘method’ for the life of me.
Huh? Am I so stupid that I’ve forgotten even this?
“What’s wrong? An Jun Cheng, can’t you even solve a problem of this level?”
“Ah, um… I… I can’t…”
“Honestly, you must have been spending too much time going out with your girlfriend recently. Teacher sternly reprimands you! If this continues, you’ll surely fail the final exam!”
On the surface, she was scolding me from a teacher’s perspective, but I could hear the bitterness in her voice. Isn’t she getting jealous of Lianbing?
“An Jun Cheng! Are you listening!”
“Ah, sorry. I haven’t been studying properly lately…”
“Really, try harder. If you don’t pass the final exam, you won’t be eligible for the summer camp, you know?”
Teacher Lily said, hands on her hips, sighing.
Everyone in the class, including myself, looked at Teacher Lily in surprise. Clearly, none of us knew about the summer camp.
Teacher Lily also looked surprised and said.
“Ah, Teacher Xiaozhen hasn’t told you yet? Starting with your year, to welcome the upcoming third-year students relaxedly, a summer camp will be held during the second-year summer vacation. We’ll take you to a tropical island resort, okay? The condition is passing the final exam.”
The whole class going on vacation? The school is really extravagant.
However, when I thought about the organization being behind the school, I accepted it. The organization’s funds are bottomless…
But, a tropical vacation… It sounds quite nice.
At this moment, I had no worries at all, lost in thoughts of the vacation…
Unbeknownst to me, my misfortune had already begun to strike…
