Why Won’t the Heroine Break Up With Me? [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 25

“I found out something!”

At six in the evening, Zhu Yaqin puffed and panted as she climbed to the second floor. As soon as she saw Yun Li and the other girl, she blurted out those words.

“What did you find out?” Yun Li asked.

“It’s about that You Ziwei!”

You Ziwei?

A trace of confusion flickered in Yun Li’s eyes.

Who was that?

Seeing Yun Li’s reaction, Zhu Yaqin remembered they didn’t know who You Ziwei was and explained, “He’s the one who fought with Zhao Jinhe today!”

Yun Li suddenly understood, then showed a curious expression. “What did you find out about him?”

During these past few days at the Fifth Cafeteria, aside from playing mobile games offline, she hadn’t done much else. Now that she heard Zhu Yaqin was going to share some gossip, her interest was immediately piqued.

“That You Ziwei is a metal-element ability user!”

Yun Li blinked slowly. “We already knew that.”

“The important thing is, his ability is kind of useless!”

“Useless?” Yun Li glanced at Tang Congyue. Speaking of which, Tang Congyue should have awakened an ability too, right? Why hadn’t she seen her use it?

She couldn’t help but recall the information she had received. Suddenly, she realized she didn’t know what abilities Tang Congyue had awakened. This quick-transmigration department was too incompetent! They didn’t even provide complete information! Bad review!

Yun Li complained inwardly, but her expression remained normal.

“Yes, I heard from other survivors who escaped from the library that You Ziwei’s metal ability can only cover his skin surface with a layer of metal. It’s not like in other novels where they can condense metal into things like knives or long swords.”

Hearing this, Yun Li rubbed her chin. “Although it doesn’t have much offensive power, his defensive capability is pretty good! Think about it, if he encounters a monster and can’t dodge, when the monster tries to bite him, he can metalize, so the monster can’t hurt him, right?”

Zhu Yaqin thought about it seriously and actually found Yun Li’s point reasonable. “You’re right.”

Yun Li smiled faintly.

“Oh, right, there’s one more thing.”

“What?”

Zhu Yaqin looked at Tang Congyue. “Zhao Jinhe said there will be a meeting at seven later, and all patrol team members need to attend.”

“What’s this about?” Yun Li asked.

“Who knows?” Zhu Yaqin shrugged. “Tang Congyue, can you guess?”

Tang Congyue took a sip of water at this moment and said, “It might be related to You Ziwei?”

“Probably?” Zhu Yaqin wasn’t sure either.

“It’s six now. We’ll know in an hour.”

Hearing Tang Congyue say this, Zhu Yaqin could only suppress her curiosity.

…

When it was almost seven, Zhu Yaqin and Tang Congyue prepared to go downstairs. Seeing this, Yun Li followed them down.

She was also curious about what Zhao Jinhe had to say.

When they reached the first floor, they saw that Zhao Jinhe was already surrounded by quite a few people. They walked over and casually found a spot closer to Zhao Jinhe to sit down.

As soon as they arrived, Zhao Jinhe noticed them. His gaze unconsciously lingered on Yun Li’s face for a few seconds.

After a while longer, Zhao Jinhe raised his hand to check his watch, confirming it was already seven. He quietly asked Luo Zhibo, “Is everyone here?”

Luo Zhibo scanned the area, then nodded. “Brother Zhao, everyone’s here.”

“Alright, since everyone is here, I’ll get straight to the point. Currently, our patrol team has a total of 27 people across three shifts, A, B, and C. Shift A has seven people, Shift B has ten, and Shift C has ten.”

As soon as Zhao Jinhe finished speaking, Tang Congyue was slightly taken aback.

Shift B has ten people?

Last night, their Shift B only had eight. Had more people been added today?

Just as she was thinking this, Zhao Jinhe continued, “With the increase in numbers for each shift, we need a team leader to manage things effectively. I hereby announce: Shift A will be led by You Ziwei as team leader, Shift B will be led by Tang Congyue, and I will lead Shift C. Any objections?”

Huh?

Tang Congyue got promoted?!

Yun Li and Zhu Yaqin simultaneously turned to look at Tang Congyue, only to see her expression remain calm and unfazed.

Truly, that’s Tang Congyue for you.

Zhu Yaqin gave her a mental thumbs-up.

Upon hearing Zhao Jinhe’s words, the people around exchanged glances. After a moment of silence, no one raised any objections.

Although You Ziwei had just arrived, he was an ability user, so it made sense for him to be a team leader. As for Tang Congyue, there was even less to say, she was the fierce one who had single-handedly taken down a monster. Her appointment as team leader was beyond doubt.

“Alright, that concludes today’s meeting. Dismissed.”

Zhao Jinhe waved his hand, and the survivors of Shift A, except for You Ziwei, went outside to patrol.

Tang Congyue led Yun Li back to the second floor, with Zhu Yaqin eagerly following behind.

“Tang Congyue, you’re the team leader now. Any thoughts?”

Tang Congyue: “…”

She was slightly speechless. “No need for that kind of thing.”

Yun Li stifled a laugh.

Zhu Yaqin did the same. “Alright, alright. I wonder when I’ll get to be a team leader too.”

Zhu Yaqin was in Shift C, which was led personally by Zhao Jinhe.

Tang Congyue gave a faint smile. “When you become stronger than Zhao Jinhe, you can be a team leader too.”

Zhu Yaqin: “…”

That was better left unsaid. Stronger than Zhao Jinhe? Unless she awakened an ability too!

At this thought, Zhu Yaqin had a sudden idea. “Speaking of which, it’s been a few days since you ate the monster meat. How do you feel?”

“Feel how?” Yun Li was confused.

“You know, like increased strength or something!”

Yun Li looked at Tang Congyue, who replied, “No noticeable change.”

Hearing this, Yun Li rubbed her nose. “How am I supposed to tell?”

“For example, this dining table in front of us, I couldn’t move it before, but now I can lift it easily, and it feels like a piece of cake!” As she spoke, Zhu Yaqin’s eyes sparkled.

Yun Li thought for a few seconds. “Should I give it a try too?”

Compared to Tang Congyue, who exercised regularly, Yun Li’s strength was slightly weaker. Moreover, the tables and chairs in the Fifth Cafeteria were welded together as one unit, making it no easy task to lift them.

“Sure, sure, go ahead and try.” Zhu Yaqin was practically cheering her on.

Yun Li took a deep breath and then lifted the table in front of her. Expecting it to be heavy, she put in a sudden burst of effort and, to her surprise, managed to lift the table and chairs welded together as one.

Yun Li: “!!!”

“Whoa~ Yun Li, you’re amazing!” Zhu Yaqin clapped her hands, feeling like Yun Li had just pulled off a Lin Daiyu uprooting a willow tree.

Yun Li blinked in confusion, her entire demeanor appearing somewhat dazed yet undeniably adorable.

Tang Congyue watched her, a smile spilling from the depths of her eyes.

“What should we do next?”

“Why don’t you try carrying this dining table and walk around?” Zhu Yaqin suggested.

Yun Li nodded, picked up the table, and began walking.

“How does it feel? Easy?” Zhu Yaqin asked.

“It’s still quite heavy.” After just a few steps, Yun Li could no longer hold it and quickly set the table down.

“Your strength should have increased, right?” Zhu Yaqin pressed.

Having experienced it firsthand, Yun Li nodded eagerly. “It did increase a little, but not as dramatically as I expected.”

“I wonder if we’ll mutate if we keep eating like this.”

Mutate?!

Yun Li’s face instantly turned pale with fright. But then she remembered that she would leave this world once her mission was complete, and her panic subsided somewhat.

“Don’t jinx it!” Yun Li shot Zhu Yaqin a glare.

Zhu Yaqin quickly waved her hands. “No, no! I meant a beneficial kind of mutation, like what’s happening now, increased strength, enough to punch out monsters with a single blow!”

As she spoke, she grew increasingly excited.

Yun Li, however, imagined herself punching monsters one by one and couldn’t help but shudder.

No, that mental image was “too beautiful”, she didn’t dare entertain it any further.
