How to Easily Capture a Long Aotian [Quick Transmigration] 89

Chapter 89: The Otherworldly Friend of the Manga World’s Number One Protagonist (Part 1)

Just after the mid-term exams, Star Middle School was filled with laughter. Many people were gathered around the bulletin board to check the holiday schedule. After Yu Lin had finished looking at the time, he held his books and stepped onto the stairs of the teaching building.

The teaching building was a simple and bright white building. In front of it was a flat stone path. In front of the teaching building was a garden, and in the garden were rows of pink trees. It was late spring, and flowers were falling from the trees.

The rain of petals fell on Yu Lin’s shoulder. He turned his head and glanced at it, and then the petals were blown to the ground by the wind.

“Yu Lin, how did you do on the exam this time?” A classmate passed by, dribbling a ball, and asked casually. As he asked, he muttered in a small voice, “The last math question was option C, right? Is that wrong?”

“It’s A.” Yu Lin turned around. His white shirt was clean and tidy, and his blue shorts made his young body look tall and slender. He was holding a book, and under his black hair was a pair of gentle, light-colored eyes.

“Wow.” The boy lowered his head and picked up the ball that had fallen in surprise, and he scratched his hair with confusion. His yellow curly hair moved with his movements, like a jelly pudding.

The jelly pudding was not angry even though he had answered the question wrong. He held the ball and ran away. Yu Lin glanced at his hair color, and his gaze paused almost imperceptibly, and then he gently moved his eyes away.

The jelly pudding did not care about his grades, because this was a lighthearted manga world. Colorful hairstyles were also normal, and he would not be surrounded and watched by others, nor would he be caught by the dean of students in a corner.

Yu Lin had once fantasized about such a world when he was in high school, and he had not expected it to be realized in the mission world.

『Did Lin Lin like this kind of high school life?』 The little jellyfish system had collected a lot of important data. After Yu Lin had read it, he had a rough answer to the investigation, and in the new world, he had let it out to play.

The little jellyfish was holding a pink flower petal that it had picked up in the air, and it was jumping around in front of Yu Lin. It sniffed the fragrant flower, and it was so fragrant that it spun around, and then it came over and asked with curiosity, 『What was Lin Lin’s high school like?』

『Me?』 Yu Lin walked up to the third floor, and in the long corridor, he brushed past one colorful-haired young man after another. He thought for a moment and replied, 『It was boring.』

He had been in the experimental class of a key high school, and the pace was tense, and the pressure was great. His only pastime was reading manga, and there was a chance that he would be caught by his homeroom teacher.

There were also other entertainment activities, but he had a boring personality in high school, and he was too quiet, and he was not conspicuous. In retrospect, besides the endless test papers, there were only the manga characters he had casually drawn in the corner of his desk, fighting.

『That’s very interesting.』 The little jellyfish swayed its round waist, and it said with pink bubbles, 『I want to see the manga characters that Lin Lin drew. Can I?』

Hearing this, Yu Lin reached out his fingertip at the corner and ruffled it. 『It’s been a long time. They’re long gone.』

『Wow.』 The little jellyfish hummed and nuzzled his finger. 『Okay. The points have been earned, and this is the last world. What is Lin Lin going to do after this? Are you going on vacation directly?』

『There are some things to deal with.』 Yu Lin walked to the first class of the second year of high school, and in the midst of the noisy conversation, he went to his desk and sat down.

He picked up the milk on the desk, opened it and took a sip, and then he put down the book he had been holding in his arms.

It was a manga, and the content was about a hot-blooded hero who saved the world. In the manga world, this kind of plot was very popular. Before long, many classmates who wanted to borrow his book were standing by Yu Lin’s side.

Yu Lin agreed one by one, and after he had arranged a time with the classmates who wanted to read the manga, he opened the book and began to read.

But the content that Yu Lin saw was actually a script. The protagonist was not a hero who had defeated a dragon, but a black-haired young man with a long saber on his back.

The young man’s face was cold, and he was a man of few words. He was wearing a black robe and was standing at the end of a world full of shadows. He turned his head to look over, and only half of his side face was revealed.

This was the real protagonist of this world, Xu Zhouyan, and Yu Lin was just a character in a book in his hand.

Xu Zhouyan lived in a bizarre world full of fog. He didn’t know when, but this world would continuously produce monsters. Therefore, the people of this world had been in a battle with monsters since they were born.

Because of the continuous fighting, humans had gradually developed their forces in the city of monsters, and they had struggled to survive.

In ancient legends, there was a city in the sky, and in the city in the sky, there was a hub. If the hub was turned off, the monsters in the world would no longer refresh, and if humans cleared the known monsters, they would have peace.

Therefore, the lifelong pursuit of the humans in this world was to find the hub, to purify the monsters, and to restore the world.

The human world had many forces, and Xu Zhouyan was the strongest among them. It was said that his strength had already reached a legendary level, but he was a loner and did not communicate with people.

The plot had progressed to a point where a city called Xiaofang City had been destroyed overnight by an unknown monster, and the secret of the city in the sky was about to be exposed. The eight major forces had gathered their disciples in Xiaofang City to find a solution.

In Xiaofang City, a thick fog had risen, and a large number of monsters were wandering in the alleys, looking for lone food.

The atmosphere in the city was tense, and the few living people had all closed their doors tightly, and a strange cry was heard from the alleys.

Xu Zhouyan had investigated and had cleared a batch of monster hunter refresh points. He had walked through the empty streets, and something had wanted to get close, but it had not dared to move forward due to his deterrent force.

This world was tense, bizarre, dangerous, and strange, and the nerves of humans had never been relaxed.

After Xu Zhouyan had finished investigating the clues, he had returned to the hotel where he was temporarily staying. After he had washed off the smell of blood, he had glanced at the dim yellow burning candle on the table and had gone to bed to rest.

The room he was living in was simply furnished, with only a bed, a small table, and his bag on the table.

The bag looked a little flat, and inside were simple food and documents. He had not eaten at night, but he was not hungry. Before he went to sleep, he was silent for a moment, and he took out a book from his bag, and he began to read it by the firelight.

The name of the book was “Manga,” which meant that the characters would be presented in the form of pictures. The content inside was simple, and it described the life of a high school student named Yu Lin.

Xu Zhouyan’s world did not have such a thing as a manga, nor did it have high school students. This book had been opened from a precious treasure chest, and it was described as an item from another world.

It was useless, but Xu Zhouyan cherished it very much.

That was a beautiful world, a world that Xu Zhouyan had never heard of in his twenty-three years.

The people of this world could not imagine that there was a world without monsters, without death, where the sky was azure blue, and the trees were pink, and the high school students were busy, and they were laughing, and it was full of laughter.

『What should I eat today?』

Xu Zhouyan opened the first page, and a bubble like this was hanging above the head of the young man named Yu Lin.

He was a beautiful young man, in a shirt and shorts, and he was clean and tidy. He was sitting under a pink flower tree, and he was holding a bottle of milk in his hand, and he was drinking it slowly.

His light-colored pupils were reflected in Xu Zhouyan’s dark eyes, and they were gentle and clear. In the end, he made a decision, 『I’d better go to the convenience store. The auntie in the cafeteria always has her own ideas.』

Xu Zhouyan looked at his words, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

He was holding the book, and his fingers in leather gloves were resting on the desk. Suddenly, the candlelight on the table flickered, and the window was suddenly knocked on for a moment. Xu Zhouyan looked out the window, and his expression suddenly became cold.

He got out of bed, and his short boots stepped on the window, and then he jumped into the endless night in a few steps.

By the time he had finished killing the nearby monsters, it was already late at night. Humans had developed for many years, and they had guessed that the monsters had actually come from other worlds and had been thrown in.

Therefore, they had developed some methods to suppress the cracks in the world. The switch in Xiaofang City had been destroyed by someone, and the monsters had rushed in crazily overnight, which had caused a tragedy.

The monsters at night were always endless and could not be killed. After Xu Zhouyan had returned, he had planned to rest. He had come to the bed and had lain down, and he had closed the book in his hand. Out of habit, he would not fall asleep, but he could let his body enter a state of rest.

He lay down and closed his eyes, and the book by his pillow suddenly trembled.

Xu Zhouyan had entered a light sleep, but he had woken up in a moment.

He raised his hand, and the candle on the table was relit, and the leather gloves were glinting with a cold luster in the shadows.

Xu Zhouyan opened the book, and when he turned to a new page, he saw that the content, which had been a blank page and had only been refreshed once a day, had changed.

Yu Lin had bought a green pepper and shredded pork rice from the convenience store and had come to the rest area to enjoy it. He was also holding a can of soda in his hand, a pink drink, with a raspberry printed on it.

『Green pepper and shredded pork rice and raspberry soda are a perfect match.』

The bubble above Yu Lin’s head showed this. His body was tall and slender, and his fair fingers were holding the tray. After he had sat down, his beautiful eyes had curved, and the blue shelves behind him and the high school students who were walking around had made his world seem warm and peaceful.

『Today’s green pepper and shredded pork rice is not delicious…』

『The boss put a little too much seasoning…』

『If only someone would be willing to eat this not-so-delicious green pepper and shredded pork rice…』

Bubbles were constantly appearing above the character’s head. The young man was troubled in his heart, but his face was still quiet. He was sitting quietly in his seat and was in a daze. The raspberry soda had the coolness of late spring.

Xu Zhouyan looked at him and said quietly in his heart, 『Is it very bad? I’m willing to help you eat it.』

『What does green pepper and shredded pork rice taste like?』

『Is it worse than insect meat?』

He was thinking, and he looked at the young man on the page, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he was about to go to sleep.

Then a tempting fragrance filled the tip of his nose. A moment later, he lowered his eyes and saw a steaming lunch box by his leg. Inside was a green pepper and shredded pork rice that had been bitten into.

Xu Zhouyan’s body paused slightly, and he looked at the manga in his hand.

Yu Lin was sitting at the desk, and he was maintaining the posture of holding a raspberry soda, and his face was calm. However, his light-colored eyes blinked lightly, and then he let out a bubble above his head.

『My rice…』

『Where’s my green pepper and shredded pork rice?』

『Hello, 110? My green pepper and shredded pork rice is missing. Has anyone seen my green pepper and shredded pork rice?』

The manga protagonist looked at his empty dining table with confusion.

Outside the world, Xu Zhouyan picked up his tray and ate his green pepper and shredded pork rice, one bite at a time.

Delicious.

***

『Your rice was delicious. A gift.』

In the third period of Chinese class, the Chinese teacher was playing a movie in the classroom. In a corner, Yu Lin had received a note and a rose-blue gem.

The deep blue gem was emitting a dark purple light, as if it had fallen from some kind of monster. It looked out of place with the lighthearted and healing manga world.

Yu Lin held the gem and studied it for a long time. In the end, he could only put it in his pocket as a strange gift, and then he looked at the clean white note in his hand.

The note seemed to have been torn from a notebook, and its edges were rough, like a mission item from a game.

Yu Lin looked at it for a while, and in the end, his curiosity had overcome his strange feeling. He looked at the manga from which the note had fallen.

After a moment of hesitation, he took out a bottle of lychee soda from his desk and put it in the book with the written note.

Xu Zhouyan was in a battle. In the environment full of thick fog, the surroundings were filled with the hissing of monsters. His expression was cold, and he was killing monsters. A note suddenly fell out of his arms.

『Hello, my name is Yu Lin. What’s your name?』

『Xu Zhouyan.』
