If Qin Ning were to use underhanded tactics today, such as maliciously exacerbating her fear of men, or taking advantage of her unpreparedness to attack her, Mengmeng would be able to fight back—since you lack the qualities I should respect, then we'll settle our scores, and I'll repay you for the help you've given me.

The investment required for a virtual streamer project is far more expensive than raising a real virtual idol.

To settle debts, the payment must be made in full.

You're such a despicable person, I won't let you get any closer to Bai Weiran!

But as it turns out, Qin Ning was not despicable.

Qin Ning lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.

“If you rush up and try to stop me, I’ll look down on you too,” she said slowly.

"You are not qualified to be my opponent, my friend."

Today's date isn't for Weiran, but for Mengmeng.

She is also testing Mengmeng.

Would they abandon their friendship without hesitation if a man were in their presence?

As it turns out, they both passed each other's test.

As a yandere, no one could understand Mengmeng's twisted struggle and her almost manic yet stubbornly possessive desire more deeply than Qin Ning.

She tried to provoke Bai Weiran by forcibly kissing her, but in that instant, Mengmeng chose to leave on her own.

She wasn't being cowardly or running away, nor was she afraid of the fight; she simply didn't want to make things awkward for both of them in the moment.

He only launched his full-scale attack after he got home.

Only when they are evenly matched can they appreciate each other and pull each other along.

No one understood Mengmeng's fear and panic more deeply than Qin Ning, not even Bai Weiran—because Qin Ning was a girl, and some things can only be understood by people of the same sex.

During the day, Mengmeng happily plays games, but at night she secretly cries in her bed because she misses home and is afraid of her uncertain future. Her tears soak her pillowcase, but she pretends to drool and smile.

Mengmeng wasn't strong to begin with.

She is stubborn, yet very fragile.

She could be so stubborn as to want to kill Su Cheng, yet so fragile as to be powerless to refute the injustice she was accused of, and even refuse to accuse Su Cheng of wrongdoing, only wanting to maintain that ridiculously thin facade of family.

Yandere is this kind of creature.

Once you treat her well, she will find it hard to forget. She will twist herself, torn between love and hate, while using the last vestiges of reason and kindness in her heart to repay that kindness.

Qin Ning is luckier than Mengmeng, and also calmer and stronger.

"...Mengmeng, you're an idiot, you're such an idiot!"

"...Ningning, you're the idiot, you're a super idiot!"

"The one who calls someone an idiot is the idiot. Wake up."

"Who started the insults? How dare you criticize me like that?"

The two engaged in a heated exchange that gradually became more childish, then paused simultaneously, and then burst out laughing.

"...If Bai Weiran knew, he would be shocked!" Mengmeng sighed deeply.

Ningning and Mengmeng are actually good friends!

She really wanted to see Bai Weiran's contorted face.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ning curled her lips into a cold smile.

"He already knows."

Not only did he know, but Wei Ran also had a plan in mind.

In the last murder mystery game, Bai Weiran was telling the truth.

Even though he didn't realize he was alluding to Mengmeng, he still clearly expressed his own logic—which made her realize that if things continued like this, neither she nor Mengmeng would get what they wanted.

Mengmeng exclaimed in surprise and turned around, only to see Qin Ning sit up abruptly.

"...Let's go find him."

Xx

Inside the bar, Wu Ji let out a soft "Eh."

"Young Master Bai? What did you say?"

Bai Weiran didn't answer. He took a sip of the drink and felt a faint malty aroma filling his mouth. Looking at the clear bottom of the amber liquid under the light, he raised his glass to the bartender.

“This whisky is a fantastic choice,” he complimented.

Wu Ji got impatient with his Buddhist-like attitude and couldn't help but push him.

"Young Master Bai, why don't you explain what you just meant?!"

Hey guys, here's today's update! ヘ(`▽'*)

I'm asking for monthly votes at the beginning of the month. Could you guys give me a few to warm my heart? Waaah!

Chapter Thirty-Six: A World Where Only Bai Weiran Is Wounded (4K, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Bai Weiran put down his glass, finished his whiskey, and the ice cubes inside tapped against the glass, making a tinkling sound. His fingers rested on the rim of the glass, and his slightly tipsy state made him look relaxed and his attitude casual.

"From which sentence? From the previous sentence, the sentence before that, or have you not understood since the very first sentence?"

"I understood the first sentence. It was that after you were forced into a relationship, Miss Qin Ning lifted her skirt, turned her back on you, and left. She even muted your microphone and threw you at home. You tried to reason with her, but no one listened. Feeling depressed, lonely, and cold, you came to me to drink alone and covet my youthful body."

The bartender hadn't left and happened to hear this, raising an eyebrow in response.

What? That was amazing! I missed it earlier. Could you elaborate on that part?

Bai Weiran: …………

The first half is correct, but the second half is pure fabrication and slander.

He pushed his glass forward, and as the bartender filled it, he casually changed the subject.

Do you remember the mission details we discussed before?

At that time, he was still in Zhen Jing's mission world and was troubled by Zhen Jing's suicide attempt. He asked Wu Ji for advice without knowing that Wu Ji was also a user.

Wu Ji nodded to indicate that he remembered.

"She did very well afterward, became famous with her book, became a well-known novelist, and found a suitable new partner."

"Although her story is about her crush on her senior, in reality, all readers empathize with her and like her because it is her life, her story, and she is the protagonist."

Wu Ji: ...Hearing your words is like hearing a lecture.

“Xia Yanle is the same, and so is Xiao hope, our current target—I don’t know if you’ve noticed, Wu Ji.” Bai Weiran leaned back in his chair, holding his wine glass and swirling it with a smile.

"These yandere women we perceive as being obsessed with love, mad about life and death, and gloomy and stubborn, actually live better lives after leaving men."

Wu Ji: …………?!

"Isn't that right? It makes perfect sense when you think about it." Bai Weiran swirled his wine glass.

"After doing the tasks and seeing them achieve success one by one, I've realized something."

"It's perfectly normal for them to achieve success in life, because they all possess extraordinary qualities such as aggression, perseverance, long-term planning ability, the will to stick to their choices, and a crazy passion for a person or thing—hey, Wu Ji, haven't you noticed that these are the qualities of generally outstanding talents?"

"As long as these traits are applied to the right things and within a controllable range, one can definitely be a successful person."

Bai Weiran tapped his temple and shrugged.

"Men may be absent, but their qualities will not disappear, and they can still achieve great things."

Wu Ji exclaimed "Ah!" as his mind had half-recovered.

"Just like that simple, age-old trolley problem."

A train, two tracks, you decide the direction of travel. Five people are tied to one track, and one person is tied to the other.

Which side do you want to go on?

"Bai Weiran would choose to run someone over; this is a utilitarian choice."

Bai Weiran took a sip of wine and smiled again.

"But what if the person tied to that railway track today is Bai Weiran?"

It's either about letting the yanderes destroy themselves, or destroying Bai Weiran.

That answer is too easy.

Bai Weiran raised his head, his eyes bright, gleaming with a strange light.

"Then I will say frankly—let's run over Bai Weiran!" His voice was very soft, with a terrifying and eerie quality. Wu Ji looked at him, and his back involuntarily turned cold.

"Because Bai Weiran isn't that important."

"They have no right to let the train go over them."

He smiled, and that smile turned into a wide grin, a relaxed chuckle.

But Wu Ji couldn't laugh.

He knew that Bai Weiran was telling the truth.

This old friend cherishes life, values ​​his own worth, and lives in the present, but he can also transcend the boundaries between himself and others, using a utilitarian approach to critique his own value.

He used to think it was fun and wanted to see the yandere cause trouble, but now that he thinks about it carefully—damn, this is not allowed!

Bai Shao felt that both of them had great potential in the future, and it wouldn't be right to waste them on himself. So, eliminating the unsuitable factors was as satisfying as fixing a module bug—even if the bug was him.

It wasn't a threat, it wasn't a suicide attempt, it wasn't Yu Yu; he was calmly and rationally calculating the value between people.

How could he forget?

Bai Weiran has always been a madman, only he wears a rational mask.

Wu Ji's eyes widened suddenly. His gaze went over Bai Weiran's shoulder and towards the door. Bai Weiran didn't notice Wu Ji's strange behavior. He just thought that Wu Ji was frightened by him and put his hand on Wu Ji's shoulder.

"It's alright, Wu Ji, it's nothing."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ji's nostrils and eyes widened even more, severely damaging his handsome image.
