The Villain Doesn’t Want To Date the Cute Heroine - Chapter 95
95: Game Development Can Be Wicked Fun
As Wu Liang rested with his eyes closed, a series of soft footsteps approached him.
How long had he been napping? Ten minutes? Or twenty?
Time didn’t seem to fly, and yet someone had already come to the classroom.
“Wu Liang, you’re quite early, aren’t you? Or did you not go back at noon?”
A familiar male voice rang in his ears, followed by the sound of chairs and desks being moved behind him.
Without looking, he knew who it was; no one but Nan Zhu would sit behind him.
“Wu Liang, you should wear a coat when you sleep here, or you’ll catch a cold.”
Nan Zhu put down his backpack and looked at Wu Liang, who was dozing off on the desk.
Judging by his appearance, Wu Liang must have been here all afternoon.
But wouldn’t sleeping like this cause a cold? Even though it’s summer, wearing just a short-sleeved shirt…
“I wasn’t asleep, I was just resting my eyes for a bit.”
Wu Liang opened his eyes to a slit and glanced at Nan Zhu, who was smiling behind him.
You’re quite early, it’s only about half-past two, and there’s still half an hour before the first class starts.
“So, you didn’t go back at noon, Wu Liang? Did you have lunch? I have some bread and stuff here.”
Nan Zhu took off his jacket and tugged at his collar, summer indeed was still quite hot.
It was almost autumn, but at two o’clock, it was still extremely hot.
“No need, I’m not that hungry… Grrr~”
Wu Liang waved his hand to show he wasn’t very hungry.
But before he could finish, a low growl from his stomach suddenly quieted the surroundings.
Nan Zhu was startled, while Wu Liang gave an embarrassed smile and then covered his uncooperative stomach.
Now that he mentioned it, he hadn’t eaten a grain since breakfast, having spent all his time with Ning Shuang until now.
“I think you should eat something to fill your stomach, after all, the afternoon has just begun, and there’s still a while before dinner.”
Hearing the protest from Wu Liang’s stomach, Nan Zhu chuckled and pulled out two or three sandwiches from his bag and placed them on Wu Liang’s desk.
These were his leftover sandwiches from noon. Although they couldn’t be considered a main meal, they were enough to tide one over temporarily.
“Thanks.”
Wu Liang looked at the sandwiches on the desk, hesitated for a moment, and then gave in to the relentless assault of hunger.
Never mind, he thought, he would just treat Nan Zhu to a meal another day to return the favor.
“You can’t fight a battle on an empty stomach, what to do if attacked when hungry!”
Wu Liang couldn’t help but recall a wise saying from a certain Knight King, and it seemed quite true.
One indeed lacks energy when hungry, at least it was having a significant impact on him right now.
“We’re friends, aren’t we? No need to be so formal.”
Nan Zhu patted Wu Liang’s shoulder; they were friends after all.
Friends don’t need to be so formal with each other, especially since Wu Liang cared so much about him.
After he fainted, Wu Liang had carried him all the way back from the student council, he should really thank Wu Liang properly.
“Oh.”
Feeling Nan Zhu’s gentle gaze, Wu Liang felt a bit uncomfortable.
Being the focus of such attention from another man was a bit unsettling, too prone to giving one goosebumps.
“Wu Liang, can I call you by your name directly, just like ‘mouse’?”
“I always feel a bit awkward calling you ‘classmate.’”
Nanzhu scratched the back of his head, somewhat embarrassed. His relationship with Wu Liang had clearly grown much closer.
But he still addressed the other as ‘Classmate Wu Liang,’ which somehow felt a bit odd.
“Sure, you can. You’re my friend, and there’s no need for formality between friends.”
Wu Liang took a bite of his sandwich, just as Nanzhu had said, they had indeed become friends.
And he had left a good impression on He Xue, Su Xi, and Ning Shuang.
This would give him a very favorable start in bringing these people together.
“But right now, I’m on a doomed path. Even if I don’t oppress the male and female leads, I will still die due to the end of this route.”
“To avoid death, the male lead and each of the female leads must reach the true ending.”
With this in mind, Wu Liang chewed on his sandwich while sorting through the current information.
From noble mtl dot come
In this “Who is Your Number One Goddess? Heartbeat Rhythm~” ACG romance game, there are countless endings and numerous paths.
And now, he was precisely on Wu Liang’s doomed route ending, the will of the world, which is hard to defy.
Even if he didn’t interfere with the affairs of the male and female leads on this route, even if he became friends with them.
No matter how much the game’s plot changed, the ending for the character Wu Liang would not change.
He would still die a year later, possibly in a car accident, possibly from illness, or perhaps due to various accidents…
“The game developers made this death route with no other way to avoid death.”
“Even if the plot deviates a lot from the original, even if Wu Liang becomes close friends with the male and female leads, he will still die.”
Wu Liang murmured to himself, stroking his chin, which was also the most troubling thing for him.
Mainly because this setting was a bit too forceful, even with a bit of the game developers’ wicked sense of humor mixed in.
Logically, as long as Wu Liang didn’t oppress the male and female leads and let them develop on their own, he should be able to avoid death.
But this damn game developer insisted on creating a certain death route, meaning no matter what Wu Liang did, he would die.
Even if Wu Liang on this route was a great philanthropist, even if Wu Liang on this route was a charity-loving philanthropist.
Unless the male lead reaches the true ending, Wu Liang will die due to the game developers’ wicked setting.
“These game developers, how much do they hate this villainous young master, really wishing for his death…”
Wu Liang said with a mix of laughter and tears.
The existence of this route was actually entirely due to the game developers’ wicked sense of humor.
After all, in the previous games, the villain Wu Liang, when oppressing the male and female leads, would make the players itch with hatred.
Probably many players wanted to see how Wu Liang would die and deliberately not reach the true ending.
The game developers grasped this psychology of the players, so they deliberately arranged such a satisfying death ending.
“Oh, the evil game developers…”
Wu Liang sighed in resignation, but if there was no so-called “fatal conclusion” to be had, he wouldn’t have to live his life so tensely….
