Chapter 28: Vivian, Don’t Be Like This—I’m Scared! |
Hearing what Vivian said, Lilith was also a bit dumbfounded.
She hadn’t expected Vivian to be this bold.
“Um, girl, I think this is something we should avoid.”
I think so too! Vivian herself completely agreed.
But Jiang Chen didn’t think so.
“I don’t think we should.”
“Girl, we really should—you have no idea how evil the Witch Organization is. They fuse your body with monsters to create terrifying creatures.”
“I heard that a senior from the academy was once targeted by the Witch Organization. He was captured and turned into a monster—neither human nor ghost!”
“And that monster attacked the academy. Because its strength had increased greatly and it launched a surprise attack, many people were injured.”
As she spoke, Lilith’s gaze was sincere.
“So Vivian, we should move into the academy dorms. At least we won’t have to worry about safety.”
But the response she received was…
“Explain in detail—fusion with monsters increases strength.”
“By how much? Do you have exact data? Can only the Witch Organization do it, or can others do it too?” Vivian’s tone was somewhat urgent.
Lilith: ???
Looking at the Vivian in front of her, Lilith felt a strong sense of unfamiliarity.
“No, is that what you should be focusing on?”
“Vivian, something is seriously wrong with you!”
“Vivian… you’re not possessed by some evil entity, are you?”
Hearing Lilith’s words, Jiang Chen didn’t react much.
But Vivian immediately realized something was wrong.
Lilith, what are you saying?!
Can you even say something like that?!
The one controlling my body right now is Lord God! If you say things like this, you might get silenced!
Thinking of this, Vivian became nervous.
She was genuinely afraid that the Evil God might eliminate Lilith for knowing too much.
What was even more outrageous was that the Evil God seemed interested in fusing her with a monster.
No, please don’t!
Just imagining herself fused with a monster and turning into something horrifying made Vivian shudder.
Lord God wouldn’t really do that… right?
Lilith, why did you even bring this up!
As for Lilith’s suggestion, Jiang Chen was actually quite interested.
“Turn into a monster girl, increase strength?”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen looked at Vivian’s character model and ultimately shook his head.
“Forget it. Whether you’re strong or not is a matter of the current version—whether you look good is a lifetime matter.”
“This Vivian model looks pretty good. Better not ruin it into something ugly—it’d be annoying to play.”
Hearing Jiang Chen’s voice, Vivian finally let out a sigh of relief.
Saved by being pretty…
For some reason, she even felt a little proud.
“Um… Vivian?” At that moment, Lilith waved her small hand in front of Vivian.
“I’m serious—Vivian, are you really being controlled by some evil entity?” Lilith stared at her suspiciously, as if trying to confirm something.
Lilith, shut up!
Stop courting death, please!
Vivian screamed inwardly.
“I’m not being controlled.” Vivian’s calm voice sounded.
“Really?” Lilith still didn’t believe it.
Seeing Lilith’s persistence, Vivian was on the verge of breaking down.
No, what do you mean ‘really’?! Lilith, do you know how dangerous what you’re doing right now is?!
“Really. If I’m lying, I’m a dog.”
“Being able to swear such a harsh oath… seems like it’s true.”
So you just believe it that easily…
Vivian was speechless, but at least this was the outcome she wanted.
“Um, Vivian, where are we going next?” Lilith asked again.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen glanced at the interface.
Originally, he wanted to go straight to the magic item trading market Lilith mentioned yesterday.
But after seeing that the character’s hunger value was nearly depleted, he immediately made a decision.
“Let’s eat breakfast first. Then you take me to that magic item trading market you mentioned yesterday.”
Lilith nodded. “No problem!”
........
Not long after, they arrived at a breakfast shop near the apartment.
It was an elegantly decorated place. Each table was covered with a light pink tablecloth, adorned with decorative flowers, and neatly arranged with plates and cutlery.
Looking at the interior, it was Vivian’s first time eating in such a luxurious place.
She was certain that if Lord God weren’t controlling her body, she would already be too nervous to sit still.
While Vivian was lost in her thoughts, the exquisite breakfast was brought over by the server.
“Vivian, this is a breakfast place I often come to—the food is really delicious.”
“Especially the cream bread.” As she spoke, Lilith pointed at the delicate little breads on the plate.
“Mm.” Responding softly, Vivian picked one up and started eating.
The moment it entered her mouth, Vivian felt as if her soul had ascended.
The soft, chewy texture, combined with the faint creamy aroma and refreshing sensation—this was something she had never experienced before.
What is this… wuwu… it’s so delicious!
Although when she saw the price earlier, she felt a bit pained—one small bread cost two whole Silver Coins.
Back in her hometown, her entire breakfast usually didn’t even exceed ten copper coins.
Food priced in Silver Coins was something she had never even dared to imagine.
If she hadn’t earned so much money yesterday, she would never have come to such an expensive place for breakfast.
Although… whether she came or not didn’t seem to be up to her… alright, never mind then.
But none of that mattered anymore.
It’s just too delicious! I want another one!
Vivian cried out in her heart, hoping the Evil God would let her have another.
And it seemed Lord God heard her prayer—she picked up another one.
This is pure happiness!
Before she even finished that one, another was stuffed into her mouth.
Vivian’s small mouth chewed rapidly like a squirrel.
Then before finishing, she grabbed another.
And another.
Wait!! Lord God, what are you doing?!
Vivian immediately realized something was wrong!
Lord God, this is not how you eat! Stop! Eating like this is terrifying!
“Damn it, they even animated the eating process.” Jiang Chen complained.
“This is way too slow—it’s completely delaying my grinding progress!”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen rapidly clicked the mouse.
【Please slow down, the NPC is eating…】
【Please slow down, the NPC is eating too fast!】
Ignoring the warnings, Jiang Chen checked the hunger bar and clicked even faster.
Then…
【Please slow down…】
【The NPC is choking due to eating too fast, please act quickly!】
Seeing the alert, Jiang Chen paused. “Whoa, you can even choke?”
He immediately clicked on the nearby cup of water.
Gulp, gulp, gulp…
The water in the cup was drained in one go, and Vivian finally felt like she had come back to life.
But before she could react, a new round of eating began.
Seeing Vivian’s actions, the surrounding servers and customers all cast strange looks her way.
“Th-that… Vivian, don’t be like this… I’m scared.” Lilith’s timid voice sounded.
