Chapter 27

Chapter 27: This Generation of Internet Users Is No Good!

The next day, at dawn.

Su Ming, who had stayed the entire night in the hotel, snuck back into the academy while morning practice was still ongoing.

Originally, Su Ming hadn’t wanted to return.

There was nothing he could do. In the face of the Demon-Hunting Academy’s crowd of crazy fans, Su Ming could only express his extreme panic.

Before falling asleep last night, Su Ming had also logged on to the school’s forum to check the situation. As he read through the posts, he found that all he could see were those angry fans screaming about violence and discussing what kind of torture they would inflict on him.

This scared Su Ming so much that he even thought about never returning to the academy again.

Fortunately, as the school gradually became filled with hostility, An Zijin finally spoke up.

This little neighbour of his finally stood up and explained their relationship to everyone.

Only then did people learn that Su Ming and An Zijin had been neighbours since they were young. Because An Zijin had moved away, the two hadn’t seen each other for a whole decade. That was why An Zijin had been so excited to see Su Ming yesterday and had thrown herself into his arms.

Only then did the students in the academy feel enlightened, but they also felt a little sour.

“So you’re neighbours?”

“Do neighbours these days still have such good relationships?”

“I’m jealous, why don’t I have a cute neighbour like that?”

“Su Ming really is so lucky.”

The people gradually transformed their anger into envy. The sourness was so strong that it could be smelled from afar through the posts on the forums.

Thanks to this, Su Ming went from being the target of everyone’s wrath to being the target of everyone’s envy.

Although, in essence, there wasn’t much difference between the two, because the latter could easily become the former at any time. There were still plenty of people in the academy who wanted to fuck Su Ming up. But since An Zijin had already spoken up, they no longer had any reason to call for Su Ming’s demise.

Thus, Su Ming took this chance to return to the academy. He didn’t want to farm reputation points; he just wanted to avoid getting beaten up.

Of course, Su Ming’s life wasn’t as comfortable as before after returning to the academy.

At least, Lei Hao and Ye Bai would constantly give him attitude.

“Isn’t this Young Master Su, who’s tangled up with all the school beauties?”

“Sorry for the inconvenience. I hope you don’t mind our humble abode not being able to accommodate a big winner like you.”

These sarcastic words had become Lei Hao and Ye Bai’s catchphrase.

It wasn’t just Lei Hao and Ye Bai. Even those who weren’t very familiar with Su Ming would greet him with a friendly hello when they ran into him.

“Long time no see, still in good health?”

“Not sick lately? What? No? In good health? Pfft”

“How did Young Master Su fall to the point of only being able to hang out with his roommate? Shouldn’t you be playing games with your neighbour’s little sister?”

“Still got that note from Xu Daxianhua? What does it say? I hope it’s a reminder to pay up!”

Look at these people, were they even human?

Su Ming thought these bastards didn’t want to be human anymore, nor were they worthy of being human.

With a group of assholes like this around him, Su Ming was also very despondent.

Thankfully, Su Ming wasn’t without his own chance for revenge.

Ever since that day of their reunion, An Zijin often came to visit Su Ming in his dormitory.

“Big Brother Su Ming, I made soup for you, please drink it while it’s hot.”

“Big Brother Su Ming, I bought clothes for you. The weather has been getting colder lately, so remember to keep warm.”

“Big Brother Su Ming, play games with me, it’s so boring by myself.”

“Big Brother Su Ming.”

An Zijin would visit the boys’ dormitory almost every day, clinging to Su Ming’s side. She would call him “Big Brother Su Ming” from left to right, and even took care of his daily needs. If she wasn’t bringing him breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even a midnight snack, she would barge into Su Ming’s room and help him make his bed.

The actions of this campus beauty and her little sister—reading as “the neighbour’s little sister” but writing as “a personal life manager”—made many of the rough men in the dormitory green with envy.

Especially Lei Hao and Ye Bai, who were living in the same dormitory as Su Ming. They were so envious of An Zijin taking care of Su Ming that they were on the verge of breaking down.

“I want to change dormitories!”

This was Lei Hao’s catchphrase these days.

“I want to kill someone!”

This was Ye Bai’s catchphrase these days.

It was clear that these two could no longer take it.

Especially Ye Bai, who had been acting like a lunatic lately. He would laugh one moment and cry the next, his face full of happiness one moment and resentment the next. Su Ming was even a little scared of him.

In his words, being able to see his goddess every day and staying under the same roof as her was an incomparably happy and joyful thing. That was why he would smile and feel happy. But when he remembered that his goddess wasn’t his but belonged to someone else—Su Ming—he would feel terrible.

Therefore, he would cry and feel resentment.

Recently, this guy had also been hiding in his bed to secretly watch a certain famous detective anime series in the middle of the night. He would watch it for an entire night, then watch it for an entire day, making Su Ming too afraid to sleep at night for fear that the ruffian would suddenly murder him.

As for the others, Su Ming always felt that when he walked down the street, there were always hair-raising stares shooting at him from behind, and the people around him were looking at him with sinister expressions, making him scared out of his wits.

Su Ming even saw many unfriendly posts on the school’s forum.

For example:

“If this post can reach 1 million floors, I’ll kill Su Ming with my own hands!”

“Daily check-in! Anyone who wants to curse at Su Ming can come in!”

“I have both old and young family members, so I can’t just leave without a care. If any net friend can provide me with a reliable method to kill Su Ming without being imprisoned and becoming a suspect, I don’t mind taking action myself and ending that bastard!”

“Check-in, check-in! This is the fourth day I want to kill Su Ming!”

Look, is this a thread for people who know how to shitpost?

As a qualified shitposter, aren’t you supposed to lick the goddess every day, build a house for the goddess, and then fight with each other? One says the goddess looked at me today, the other says the goddess smiled at me today, and then you all say the other person is just imagining things, right?

And as fans of the two academy’s most beautiful girls, you should also be fighting online. One says their goddess is the most beautiful, the other says their goddess is just a powder and rouge beauty compared to their own goddess, and then you all point at each other and fight until your blood boils!

This generation of shitposters is no good!

“What’s so great about killing others? If you’re so good, go die for love!”

Su Ming was about to explode.

If he wasn’t afraid of being targeted by everyone, Su Ming would definitely tell these trolls what a qualified keyboard warrior was.

After returning to the academy, Su Ming lived a simple yet bitter life!

He was no longer an unknown Minor character but a Minor character who everyone wanted to kill!

Yes, fortunately he was still just a Minor character.

After all, Su Ming had built his reputation on rumours and hatred. Perhaps everyone in the academy already knew him, but to others, he was still that mediocre little warlock student.

This meant that Su Ming could no longer hide himself, but his plan to become the Sishiluo Sword God hadn’t completely failed.

He, Su Ming, could still continue to be a Minor character.

This was the only thing that made Su Ming feel relieved.

However, good things didn’t last forever.

Su Ming only wanted to be a Minor character, but the world’s will didn’t allow him to do so.

Just one week after Su Ming returned to the academy, an extremely important piece of information spread throughout the academy.

“According to the latest intelligence from the Base City’s detection department, in about six days, the entrance to the Spiritual Demon Prison will appear in Hua Ming District.”

“The upper echelons of the Base City will call all of the city’s hunters and warlocks to Hua Ming District to organise a defensive line and jointly resist the invasion of spirit demons from the Spiritual Demon Prison.”

“The academy’s students will also be called up. They will form teams and go to Hua Ming District together to build a defensive line.”

“Please form teams with your classmates and submit the team lists to the academy. Three days from now, we will organise a trip together.”

This big piece of news smashed all the grudges and hatreds within the academy to pieces.

The students exploded.

The entire academy was noisy.

Demon-Hunting Academy, boys dormitory.

Su Ming, Lei Hao, and Ye Bai gathered in their dormitory room and discussed the big news they had just heard.

“A Spiritual Demon Prison entrance appeared in the city?” Lei Hao said with a sour expression. “That’s way too unlucky.”

“Who can argue with that?” Ye Bai sighed. “Ever since the outer side and inner side of the world came into contact, entrances to the Spiritual Demon Prison have appeared all over the world. But the ocean is already much larger than land, not to mention that a base city is just a tiny dot on land. For an entrance to appear in a city, that’s even more unlucky than choking on water.”

“It’s really unfortunate.” Su Ming frowned and said thoughtfully, “I wonder if it’s because of some other factor.”

Su Ming’s words did not receive the attention of Lei Hao and Ye Bai.

“No matter what the factor is, since the incident has already occurred, we must be called over to help.”

Lei Hao spread his hands helplessly.

“There’s no way around it. We can’t afford to take this lightly. If we don’t block off the invading spirit demons, Longyao City will be in danger.”

Ye Bai didn’t avoid this reality and instead accepted it.

Even Su Ming knew that they couldn’t avoid this incident.

In the face of a major spirit demon disaster, the Base City would definitely draw people from the academy. This was something that could be foreseen and confirmed.

“However, we’re just students. It’s impossible for us to be sent to the most dangerous frontlines to fight. I’m guessing we’ll just be helping out in the back and doing logistics?”

Su Ming said with a smile.

“That’s right.”

“With our strength, it’s unlikely that we’ll be given any important tasks.”

Lei Hao and Ye Bai nodded in agreement.

With this thought, the pressure in the hearts of the three men gradually dissipated.

Su Ming was also relieved.

“I can still be a Minor character.”

Su Ming was very pleased.
