After Transmigrating Into The Body Of A Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character, I Stumbled Into A Shura Field - Chapter 6

The original female lead was Shen Zixuan, who had gone missing as a child and was only recently reunited with her family. She wanted to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, and the Shen family was more than happy to pave the way for her, even going to extraordinary lengths to compensate her—a common practice in the industry.

“Teacher Xiao, Ning,” Sister Wang introduced, “this is Shen Zixuan, an artist our company is preparing to debut. And these two are—”

“I know! Teacher Su and Teacher Xiao!” Shen Zixuan gazed at Su Yining and Xiao Yingchu, her eyes sparkling like stars.

The original book described the first meeting between the female lead and Xiao Yingchu:

She was the heir to a wealthy family returning home in triumph, a resilient immortal herb in this arena of fame and fortune, possessing her own dignity and appearing particularly endearing. Almost from the first glance, Xiao Yingchu felt her resolve falter. Knowing it was wrong, Xiao Yingchu could only bury this feeling deep within her heart. Then one day, she forcefully pinned the other against a wall and said, “Little girl, you can’t escape my grasp.”

The System vividly narrated this clichéd “little girl” trope, leaving Su Yining stunned and questioning her very existence.

“No, impossible!!” Impossible! Such a cringe-worthy scene could never possibly involve Xiao Yingchu!!

Su Yining couldn’t accept it, especially after spending a few days with Xiao Yingchu. She swore this was absolutely out of character!

“Is that so?” the System replied faintly. “I’m basing this on the original text.”

Fear flashed in Su Yining’s eyes as she looked at Xiao Yingchu. The incessantly echoing “little girl” comment made it impossible for her to meet Xiao Yingchu’s gaze.

Behind her, Shen Zixuan politely greeted Xiao Yingchu. Just as they were about to shake hands, Sister Tang hurried forward and took Shen Zixuan’s hand instead.

“My apologies. Our artist isn’t very comfortable with physical contact,” Sister Tang explained.

Xiao Yingchu’s expression was indeed poor. A frown appeared on her usually impassive face, but she still apologized politely.

Shen Zixuan withdrew her hand, showing no sign of displeasure.

Su Yining politely greeted Shen Zixuan, who responded with a gentle, reserved nod. The first meeting passed off smoothly.

Shen Zixuan’s soft, delicate demeanor turned into a confident, matter-of-fact one as she turned to her phone: [ Breaking news!!! The Fake Wives are real, waaah!!! ]

Shen Zixuan had joined a “Fake Wives” fan group, where she happily typed:

[Teacher Xiao doesn’t like people touching her, but in the behind-the-scenes clips and live broadcasts, she was so close to Teacher Su!]

[We’ve got it! We’ve got it!]

[There was definitely news about this before. Teacher Xiao always plays cold and distant characters with minimal physical contact. Who doesn’t love a cool, aloof sister?]

[Maybe she’s a wife-controlled man (dog head emoji)]

[Hahahaha, dying of laughter]

******

When Shen Zixuan joined the production, she was cast as a sheltered, well-bred young lady who rarely ventured outside. This character played a crucial role in connecting the characters played by Su Yining and Xiao Yingchu in the final act.

This character could have uttered that classic line: She wasn’t there to break them up; she was there to join them!

As Sister Wang took Shen Zixuan around to familiarize her with the production team, Su Yining quietly asked Sister Tang, “Sister Tang, is it true that Teacher Xiao doesn’t like people touching her?”

Sister Tang nodded and added, “She usually takes desensitizing medication during filming. She didn’t have time to take it today because she was having lunch with you.”

“Uh-huh.” Su Yining nodded. This was Xiao Yingchu’s personal matter, and she didn’t feel right about pressing further.

At that moment, the clichéd trope of a girl being pinned against a wall by a dominant woman had vanished from Su Yining’s mind.

Maybe the System read a pirated novel!

Su Yining knew that Xiao Yingchu wasn’t accustomed to physical contact, so she always maintained a certain distance when interacting with her. Even during the afternoon interview, she made sure not to get too close.

Xiao Yingchu’s expression remained calm, revealing nothing, but her mood was no longer as cheerful as before.

What’s wrong with Su Yining? Xiao Yingchu frowned.

After wrapping up work that day, Su Yining quickly returned to her hotel room to rest.

She was surprised to find a message from Zhizhi: [ Have you been playing games lately? ]

The original owner of this body had met Zhizhi in a game group. After adding her as a friend, she promptly forgot about Zhizhi. If not for the 100,000 yuan debt, Zhizhi would never have received a response from her.

Su Yining replied: [ I’ve been really busy with work lately, so I haven’t been playing much. What’s up? ]

[ I want to play games with you. ] Zhizhi’s message took a long time to send, as if she’d struggled to type it.

“Sure!” Zhizhi rarely made requests, and Su Yining happened to be in the mood for some gaming. The two quickly agreed and met in the game.

“Hello, Susu,” Zhizhi’s voice came through the headset, her tone pleasing to the ear, carrying a unique charm that could stir the heartstrings. It immediately captured Su Yining’s attention.

An intoxicating tingling washed over Su Yining’s senses.

She replied, “Hi, Zhizhi.”

Su Yining’s voice was equally pleasant.

Zhizhi couldn’t resist wanting to record Su Yining’s voice. She asked eagerly, “What mode should we play?”

“Survival mode, I guess…” Su Yining was somewhat unfamiliar with this part of the game. In survival mode, she and Zhizhi would need to avoid bullets and toxic zones while eliminating other players, with the last team standing claiming victory.

Su Yining and Zhizhi quickly joined the game. The game required a minimum of four players per team, so after the system randomly matched them with two teammates, the game began—

“Holy shit, two female teammates? We’re definitely losing this round.” As soon as Su Yining and Zhizhi entered, one of their teammates couldn’t help but speak up. “Quit, quit!”

Soon, his status showed as offline.

Another teammate hesitated for a few moments, but eventually retreated.

Zhizhi’s character stood frozen in place, helplessly apologizing to Su Yining in a soft voice, “Sorry, Susu. I-I might be a bit noob.”

“In a game, the journey is what matters. Stick with me,” Su Yining said, her Martial Soul suddenly triggering some condition. In a cringe-worthy, overly dramatic tone, she declared, “Thirty years the river flows east, thirty years it flows west. Never look down on a young person in poverty!”

“Susu is so spirited!” Zhizhi sighed, her voice rising with anticipation.

This Martial Soul… is it here to screw me over? she thought. When I said the process is what matters, I was hoping Zhizhi would focus less on the outcome. After all, my reflexes were completely failing me in this game!

Su Yining began to play.

She suddenly realized that the System hadn’t entirely deceived her. For instance, this Martial Soul’s Golden Finger—a physical enhancement ability—wasn’t just any ordinary boost; it was a progressive one that would grow stronger over time.

Just moments ago, while immersed in the game’s virtual world, Su Yining had sensed a bullet whistling through the air toward her. With her heightened senses, she had dodged it flawlessly.

Su Yining fired a wooden bat, shattering her opponent’s protective gear. With uncanny instinct, she fired another, striking her opponent dead center.

“Awesome!!!” Zhizhi couldn’t help but clap.

Su Yining raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly. “Let’s continue.”

While Su Yining and Zhizhi’s side remained calm, like a tranquil stream with faint ripples, the other side, where she had just scored the kill, was thrown into a storm of shock and disbelief.

[Holy shit, was I hallucinating just now?! NING God got his protective gear broken and headshot in two wooden bat shots!!]

[Is the other team cheating? If they’re this good, they should just go pro already!]

[I checked their account history—their record is utterly abysmal. What the hell?]

[Could it just be luck?! This is insane! One shot might be luck, but two in a row?!]

[Either way, I’m reporting this.]

[Is it so hard to admit someone’s actually skilled?]

Ning Wan, who was streaming daily to complete tasks and fill her broadcast hours, hadn’t expected to encounter someone like this. She sat up straight, replaying her death over and over.

The more Ning Wan watched, the more she leaned forward toward the screen.

She’d been killed in live-streaming games before, but someone who could accurately predict her movements and anticipate her counter-moves—this wasn’t an ordinary player.

[I’ve watched it so many times, and the opponent is still so impressive.]

[But I checked their account, and their record before today is seriously trash.]

[Is NING God recruiting? They’ve been watching for ages.]

[Could it be the account owner’s boyfriend playing for them? The improvement compared to previous records is just too… suspicious.]

[Maybe they think that guy was cheating. Just wait until they report it.]

“I’m not that thin-skinned,” Ning Wan confirmed with a smile. “The opponent is talented. If they’re a girl and a good fit, I’d seriously consider inviting them for an interview. If they’re a guy and interested, I’d recommend them to other suitable clubs.”

Ning Wan warned, “Stop saying inappropriate things.”

After her warning, the chat indeed cleared up considerably.

******

Su Yining and Zhizhi advanced to the finals, relying on Su Yining’s keen senses and Zhizhi’s strategic gameplay. When Zhizhi realized Su Yining had talent and skill with firearms, she decisively abandoned her own offensive approach to become Su Yining’s support, playing a crucial role in many critical moments.

After two exhilarating rounds, Su Yining and Zhizhi prepared to log off. Unable to resist, Zhizhi asked, “Do… do you think we might meet in person someday?”

“It’s possible,” Su Yining replied after a moment’s thought. Recalling that they would encounter each other in the near future, she added confidently, “We will meet.”

“Great.” Zhizhi’s spirits lifted at Su Yining’s assurance, but she couldn’t help feeling both excited and disappointed about when exactly this meeting might occur.

Zhizhi suggested, “Could we exchange photos? That way we’ll recognize each other when we meet—”

Su Yining hesitated before admitting, “I haven’t gotten myself together yet. I might not look my best.”

“Just seeing Susu makes me so happy,” Zhizhi said. “Susu is the most beautiful person in my heart.”

“Liar, Zhizhi! You don’t even know what I look like yet,” Su Yining replied. After a moment’s thought, she realized her current appearance wasn’t photogenic, so she sent Zhizhi a decent-looking photo from her phone album.

After sending the photo on WeChat, Su Yining didn’t call Zhizhi again, and Zhizhi reciprocated by sending her own picture.

The photo showed Zhizhi as adorable as a fluffy ball.

[Susu, you’re so beautiful!]

[Zhizhi, you’re so cute!]

(blushing)

“I need to get some rest today. See you tomorrow, Zhizhi.”

“See you tomorrow.”

Zhizhi drifted off to sleep, blissfully unaware. The next day, she eagerly rushed to show her recording engineer friend her new friend: “Susu, Zhizhi’s friend!”

The engineer glanced at the photo and looked at Zhizhi with pity.

Well, Zhizhi’s been tricked again. That’s clearly Su Yining! What “online friend” of Zhizhi’s? If that were true, I’d let Zhizhi kick my head around like a soccer ball!
