Chapter 277 Betty’s Sh.e.l.l and Evil Wall
Now that Zavilcha was dead, Zhang Heng could finally enjoy his holiday. The bartender sent him back to his dormitory, where he slept until the next afternoon. Upon waking up, he texed Why Do You Always Look Unhappy (#”O’), telling her to inform Shen Xixi that the monster was dead.
Almost instantly, Why Do You Always Look Unhappy (# ‘O’) agreed. Then, the curious girl began asking his whereabouts and how the fight with the monster went. She even asked if he had recorded the whole thing, or if he acquired any game items, or had fun…
Zhang Heng didn’t know what to do with Why Do You Always Look Unhappy (#’O’). He didn’t even know her name. They first met outside the bar’s toilet, and unintentionally, ruined her plan. Not too long after that, he met her again at the shopping mall in a k.u.mamon suit, trying to prank him and Hayase Asuka. Even though she tried to convince Zhang Heng that it was merely payback for what he did, he had other ideas. He thought Why Do You Always Look Unhappy (#’O’) did it to satisfy a peculiar fetish of hers. Too bad her prank didn’t work in the end.
After the failed plan, Why Do You Always Look Unhappy (#’O’) transformed herself in the image of Ma Wei and asked Zhang Heng to fix his bicycle. It was at that time that she wanted to come up with another prank. Alas, she failed again. If the monster hadn’t appeared then, Zhang Heng planned to use his 24 hours to find out more about her.
Why Do You Always Look Unhappy (#’0′) was surprisingly decent when Zavilcha appeared in front of them. Instead of running away when the wall consumed Zhang Heng, she decided to stay back and help him. After that, she even followed his instructions to protect Shen Xixi. If Zhang Heng’s promise was to be believed, he was supposed to forgive everything that she did.
One last thing bothered Zhang Heng, though. Why Do You Always Look Unhappy (#’O’) knew that he was a player. She shouldn’t bring him too much trouble, for now at least. So far, Zhang Heng had played all the quests in single-player mode, and as far as he knew, he made no enemies so far. Besides, he had no valuable game items on him as well, technically eliminating him as a target even if people knew he was a player. As for Why Do You Always Look Unhappy (#`O’, it seemed she was connected to the mysterious woman in shades at the auction. The information she had with her would interest a lot of people.
Zhang Heng didn’t answer Why Do You Always Look Unhappy (#oo’)’s questions, putting his cellphone aside. Now, he would attempt to live a regular life. Other than studying and the everyday workout, he even added a little social activity to his life. For that, he went hiking with members of the photography club that didn’t return home and joined a few activities organized by the rock climbing society. Being a member for a while now, he rarely showed up. At the same time, the results of his final examination were out as well. Things were definitely more convenient now than his senior year, where all he needed to do was go online and check for himself. The best thing was that he could view them privately, thus saving him any potential embarra.s.sment if the results didn’t s.h.i.+ne.
Thanks to the extra 24 hours each day, every compulsory subject that he took ranked among the top five, except for English, that was. Thankfully, and to his surprise, he garnered a perfect score for Advanced mathematics, discounting five marks that had been deducted because he skipped a cla.s.s. Since many of the elective courses were essays and open papers, their scoring was more subjective. His worst was getting the twelfth place in happiness studies. As for critical thinking, he got a full score, but somehow, Zhang Heng found it to be useless. Even if a perfectly logical reason for an argument was to be found, it was almost always impossible to persuade a person devoid of logic in the first place. It was a reason why netizens could never be convinced during an online argument. In the end, it would simply fizzle out with everyone thinking it as banter and trolling As for his English results, they were directly related to the band-six results, and he had to wait until February. With his current English proficiency, it shouldn’t be a problem reaching a score of 609. Even without the additional points from the a.s.signments, his final exam was enough to gain proper credits.
The two unidentified items he had left with the bartender were mailed to him earlier. He excitedly opened the package, feeling as if he’d just received a delivery from Taobao. [Name: Betty’s Sh.e.l.l]
