Chapter 7: Plot Summary

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The six of them were dressed in suits and leather shoes, but they looked like gangsters who had just entered Xue Mingjie’s noodle shop.

No sound could be heard from afar, but from their body movements, it seemed that the six people led by Yao Dawu were forcing Xue Mingjie to do something.

Without exception, all six of them had the same destiny, [Supporting Character: «Person About to Die»].

Moreover, after Xia Xu checked the status screen of these six people one by one, although he couldn’t find the main character for the time being, he had a pleasant surprise.

[«Person About to Die»: Zhang Jianmin, who was diagnosed with end-stage cancer and only had a month left to live, was utterly devastated. He thought about how he had never done or enjoyed anything in his life, and decided to indulge himself before he died.

After drinking and drinking for a night, Zhang Jianmin, who woke up with a hangover, happened to run into Yao Dawu and Xue Mingjie gambling, so he joined them…]

A short passage appeared in the detailed interface of the supporting character’s destiny. It seemed that this was part of the plot of «Person About to Die».

What was unfortunate was that there were only so many words, and the words behind were all skipped by using ellipsis. The reference value of the text was relatively limited.

‘I must have encountered enough plot characters, so I unlocked and found clues to the plot?’

Xia Xu was a little worried.

The details of the destiny of these supporting characters were previously all question marks, but after checking the status of Yao Dawu and the others, the plot summary was displayed. The cause and effect of this was not difficult to guess.

What made him a little hesitant was the ellipsis behind the storyline. Did the summary skip everything else and would only show this much, or could he check more complete plot descriptions after finding more characters?

If he could unlock the full plot, even if it was just a summary, it would be enough for him to gain the advantage of being a prophet, allowing him to make many plans like a reborn person.

But if it was just a simple background explanation and a plot guide, then the effect would be limited. Forget about following the plot plan, he couldn’t even be sure if there was any danger further into the plot.

Of course, the value of this summary was still there. If he followed the ‘movie’ cliche, he could vaguely infer a lot of things, but he just couldn’t be sure.

‘Person about to die, I was shocked by this name. But looking at the summary, this should be a comedy…’

Xia Xu read the plot summary of «Person About to Die» repeatedly and made some guesses based on his years of ‘movie viewing experience’.

When a small character realized that he didn’t have long to live, he began to let himself go. He no longer cared about the consequences, no longer cared about danger, and did all kinds of reckless actions.

The result was often the opposite. All kinds of coincidences and good luck created miracles and jokes. The more one was not afraid of death, the more one would not die. In the end, everyone was happy. They discovered that their serious illness was just a misdiagnosis. It was a very old-fashioned comedy routine.

But this was just a movie cliche. Although these supporting characters all had a title quoted in guillemet, there was no direct evidence that this was a movie.

Even if it was a movie, there was a possibility of going against the rules. In fact, many comedies were even more dangerous than tragedy, because in order to create jokes, they often did not care about moral or legal logic. There were simply too many ridiculous jokes.

‘In any case, I can at least confirm that the main character of Person About to Die is Zhang Jianmin, while Xue Mingjie and Yao Dawu will be the plot characters in the first scene.’

‘If this goes according to plan, Zhang Jianmin is basically throwing caution to the wind. He wants to try gambling and forcibly participate in the bet between Xue Mingjie and Yao Dawu. In the end, the idiot who should have been bankrupt relied on his crazy luck to win money…’

Xia Xu’s brain has always been good. He had watched many similar movies, so he could vaguely guess the plot based on a small portion of the storyline. As for whether it was accurate, he could only wait and see.

‘Although there are uncertainties and risks in many places, it is not impossible to make some money.’

Xia Xu made a decision after understanding the ‘plot’.

After observing for a while, Yao Dawu and the others did not stay in Xue Mingjie’s shop for long. Instead, they kicked over a few tables and chairs and left in less than ten minutes.

From this, it could be seen that the bet mentioned in the storyline was not today. Yao Dawu was the only one who came to ‘challenge’, so he should have arranged another time and place.

This was a good thing for Xia Xu. He also needed to make some preparations. Moreover, tomorrow was the weekend, so if he had to stalk someone, he wouldn’t have to worry about skipping class.

He still wanted to enjoy his university life. That was the carefree life. It was better not to affect his school life if possible.

…

After watching Yao Dawu and the others leave, it was only a minute or two before class began. Xia Xu looked away from the door of the noodle shop and turned his head to blend into the crowd before returning to the classroom.

There were fewer than ten people in the classroom.

Ten minutes of break time was not long, but it was still a rare period of relaxation. Coupled with the fact that they had just finished their lunch break, most people would go to the toilet and buy snacks. They would not return until the bell rang.

However, as soon as Xia Xu arrived at the back door of the classroom, he saw a petite figure walking quietly to his seat like a thief. She squatted down and reached her hand into the open desk.

“What are you doing so sneakily?”

Xia Xu grabbed Tang Youxin’s collar from behind and lifted her from her squatting position. He then turned her timid little face around.

Tang Youxin looked hesitant. “No… nothing.”

“Really? Then why were you sneaking around in my seat just now? I have reason to suspect you of stealing.”

Xia Xu pulled a long face, but there was a faint smile on his face.

With Tang Youxin’s character, she was obviously not a petty thief. Moreover, he had also noticed that Tang Youxin was not taking anything. Instead, she had stuffed something into his desk.

The reason why he said this was to scare the little white flower and pretend to understand what she wanted to do.

“No, no, it’s not like that. I just… just…”

Xia Xu’s words were obviously effective.

How could a person who was so proud that she didn’t even want to accept small favors from others, try to steal something, let alone be labeled as a ‘thief’?

When she heard that he suspected her of stealing, Tang Youxin panicked. She wanted to explain, but she hesitated for a moment..
