I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game
Chapter 172: Hand-picked emotions, a bunch of mischievous ones!The sky quickly darkened, and Qin Nuo wasn't in the mood to chat idly with Shi Yu, who was equally disinterested.
Although they were speaking as Players now, by tomorrow, their interactions would be judged based on their roles, and they'd greet each other as colleagues.
Back in the dormitory, Qin Nuo casually prepared something to eat to fill his stomach. The parrot on the balcony had a stricter eating schedule than humans.
At exactly six o'clock, it started flapping in the cage, squawking and mimicking human voices to demand food.
While feeding the bird, some strange noises came from the neighboring balcony, like something heavy falling, followed by the sound of scattered items, as if someone had pushed them over.
Naturally, the neighboring balcony belonged to Qiu Tong. Qin Nuo wondered if the couple was having a spat and couldn't help but peek over.
The view was limited, and from Qin Nuo's perspective, he could only see a row of pink underwear and socks hanging on a bamboo pole.
Then, he saw a fair hand taking down the clothes from the security net one by one.
Qiu Tong seemed to be dressed lightly. Even in the dim evening light, Qin Nuo could see a patch of delicate white skin.
Suddenly, Qiu Tong seemed to notice a pair of eyes watching her and looked down. Qin Nuo quickly averted his gaze.His toes curled in embarrassment. This was hard to explain, and with his already poor impression, would he be seen as a peeping tom?
"Congratulations to the Player for completing the role: successfully peeping at the beautiful teacher next door. Role completion increased by 3%!"
Qin Nuo was momentarily speechless.
He really had been peeping!
Could Liang Zisu really be a wolf in sheep's clothing?
Appearing decent on the surface but hiding a twisted, perverse mind?
However, during those few seconds of peeping, Qin Nuo noticed that all the clothes on the balcony were women's. Since her boyfriend also lived there, why weren't there any of his clothes?
Was she lying, or was there another reason? It was unclear.
The parrot in the cage seemed to have observed Qin Nuo's actions. After eating and drinking its fill, it accurately squawked out words like "peeping pervert," as if it had become sentient.
"Why keep such an annoying parrot? If it weren't for the role, it would already be in the pot."
Qin Nuo glanced at the birdcage, closed the windows and doors, and returned to his desk to check the next day's schedule.
There were a few gigabytes of videos on the computer's hard drive. Of course, they weren't the kind of embarrassing videos Qin Nuo imagined, but rather videos of Mr. Liang's public lectures.
These were quite useful to Qin Nuo. Through the videos, he could identify Mr. Liang's teaching methods, his habits during classes, and his attitude towards students.
There were many lecture videos, and after watching a few, Qin Nuo understood Mr. Liang's teaching style.
"His teaching style is gentle and dedicated. In the eyes of outsiders, he's indeed an exemplary teacher."
"But if his private misconduct is confirmed, then this Mr. Liang is a master of disguise."
Qin Nuo murmured to himself. After watching for a while, he felt sleepy and stopped thinking about it. After washing up, he lay down on the bed.
To achieve perfect role-playing, maintaining a regular routine was an essential detail.
The next morning, when the school bell rang, Qin Nuo got up early and adjusted his attire in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Outside, a few rare rays of sunlight streamed in, casting faint light spots, seemingly heralding a beautiful day.
Picking up his briefcase, Qin Nuo looked at himself in the mirror, putting on a professional smile that appeared somewhat stiff. Beneath the sunny exterior lay a dark heart.
Liang Zisu's classes were normal, unlike Mr. Yan's, who taught in a bloody manner.
In this regard, Qin Nuo found it much easier than Shi Yu.
Arriving at the office in the teaching building.
The office was empty and cold, with only two teachers already at their desks, organizing files and textbooks.
They glanced at Qin Nuo indifferently, ignored him, and left the office after tidying up their desks.
The entire office felt eerie, leaving only Qin Nuo, but this was just the surface. When Qin Nuo sat down, the empty desk and chair next to him spun around, and the documents on the desk flipped quickly.
The same happened with the other desks. Pens moved on their own on draft paper, staplers operated automatically, and printers printed on their own...
The seemingly deserted office was actually bustling with activity.
As Qin Nuo took out his documents from the folder, he felt a chill beside him, and a girl's voice came to his ear: "Mr. Liang, can I borrow the stapler?"
Qin Nuo didn't speak, picked up the stapler beside him, and handed it over. The girl's voice continued: "Mr. Liang, you've been unwell these past few days, so I made a charm for you. Please don't refuse."
After saying this, she added, "This is just a gesture of concern between colleagues, nothing more, don't misunderstand."
"Thank you."
Qin Nuo nodded, expressing his gratitude, and then saw a finger bone threaded with a thin string placed on the desk.
The flesh had been cleaned off the finger bone, and it had been polished to a smooth surface, yet it still evoked horror.
Qin Nuo's mouth twitched slightly: "Did you make this?"
"Yes, a finger represents my little blessing. Don't overthink it, don't make wild guesses, it's just a mutual blessing between friends."
As she said this, Qin Nuo could clearly hear a hint of shyness.
It had a touch of Huang Xia's flavor.
Considering Liang Zisu's appearance, having a little admirer wasn't surprising.
Qin Nuo casually responded with a few words, and the chill beside him disappeared.
Staring at the finger bone on the desk, Qin Nuo picked it up with a tissue and placed it in the drawer.
Using a finger as a token of affection, were girls in the Horror World this crazy when pursuing boys?
After sitting in the office for about half an hour, the clock on the wall chimed, signaling the start of his next class.
Qin Nuo organized his thoughts for the lesson. Playing the role of a teacher wasn't easy; he had to face dozens of eyes, maintain composure, and strive to perfectly emulate Liang Zisu's teaching style and little habits during class.
If he slipped up, he'd be facing a bunch of mischievous kids turned ghosts.
"Mr. Liu said Class One is the most unruly class in the school. They've often played pranks on Liang Zisu during lessons."
"In just one semester, they've driven away no less than three teachers with their pranks. One teacher was pranked so badly that he ended up paralyzed from the waist down."
Paralysis from the waist down was an extremely severe consequence. Even if they were minors, the police could get involved and hold them accountable!
But that's only in the real world. In the Horror World, a student's head getting knocked off is a minor punishment. To the game NPCs, paralysis might be like a minor back sprain, just needing a few days of rest.
But Players are different; their bodies are as fragile as in the real world. If they suffer severe injuries leading to death, they lose a life, end the game, and exit the instance.
That's why Players are extremely cautious in their roles.
"Stuck with such a troublesome class, I hope I can make it back to the dorm in one piece today."
Qin Nuo murmured as he picked up a photo tucked in a book.
It was a group photo of Liang Zisu and all the students of Class One, with everyone smiling brightly...
