Female Protagonist Is A Blackened Villainess

Chapter 33: Short Story 1

(TLN: Too lazy to translate the author’s note, but the gist was that she didn’t know what to write, so she wrote 2 short stories filled with random things . Chapter 34 has another one and the main story will resume on Chapter 35 . )

When she thought Gorgeous ‧ Moran would fight back, she did not see her move even after waiting for a while . Tao Zhenzhen could not help but look back from the corner of her eye and discover that she was grinning .

It was as if five strikes of lightning hit Tao Zhenzhen . Suddenly, she felt that Gorgeous ‧ Moran’s character was far beyond her understanding, from her overbearing character to her silly personality .

“What are you laughing at?” Tao Zhenzhen couldn’t help but ask .

Gorgeous ‧ Moran looked at her but did not answer her question . Instead, she retorted, “Are you angry?” 

“Me? Angry?” Tao Zhenzhen almost rolled her eyes . ” You’re kidding me . Did you think I’d be angry with you?” she said, pushing the War G.o.d away and immediately leaving with quick footsteps .

Gorgeous ‧ Moran departed together with her . She then took out a couple of white objects . With a flash of her body, she instantly caught up with Tao Zhenzhen and stopped in front of her . She smiled . “You still haven’t told me whether you are angry or not . Why are you running away from me? Anyways, I did not take your stuff away . ”

This was Tao Zhenzhen’s last straw . She said coldly, “The only thing you’ve been talking about all this time was whether or not I was angry at you . How are you so annoying? I can’t be friends with you anymore, so now would be a good time to renounce any feelings of grat.i.tude or any grudges we have towards each other . You should hurry up and go, I still have to clear away the rest of the monsters . I don’t have time to play with you anymore . ”

Gorgeous ‧ Moran stifled a smile . Tao Zhenzhen really was like a bunny with very frizzy hair . When she tried to touch or measure it, she often irritated Tao Zhenzhen this way . Then, she would observe Tao Zhenzhen stamping her feet in fury and storming away .

During these periods of time, whether to kill or not kill her enemies was not important in her heart . Instead, the process of having fun with Tao Zhenzhen was the most important to her .

Now, Tao Zhenzhen’s patience was at its limit as she began to lose control over her words, causing her to become more fascinating .

She smiled faintly . She pushed the clump of feathers in her hand towards Tao Zhenzhen’s chest . Tao Zhenzhen jumped in surprise, hurriedly taking a few steps back . She angrily asked, “What do you want?”

“I’m giving it to you . ” Gorgeous ‧ Moran crouched down and collected the rest of the feathers as she explained, “These are the items that were dropped when I completed a side quest . It looked very cute, so I just picked them up . Now, I’m giving it to you to apologize for my recent lack of manners!”

Tao Zhenzhen watched her serious apology and then looked at the clump of feathers that was handed over . She hesitated a moment, but soon extended her hands to receive the clump of feathers .

At the same time, the system’s notification sound suddenly rang: [Congratulations to the player for obtaining the “Angel’s Feathers” . Its charm value is 9999 . ]

After that, Tao Zhenzhen was startled by the sudden notification that popped out: [Player Ice G.o.d Arrogant Snow pa.s.sed the neverending process of cuteness . She finally defeated Player Moon Girl and became ranked first on the beauty list . ]

At the same time, the system continued to prompt: [Congratulations to the player for receiving the t.i.tle “G.o.ddess” . Incidentally, the t.i.tle gives the special skill, Cuteness Flash . ]

Special skill: Cuteness Flash

Description: Every once in a while, a magnetic field will be generated around the area, which will inflict the bewildered status to the players and NPCs who are watching the user nearby . However, when facing an enemy, the chances of affecting them will be lower .  

Bewildered Status Effect: Automatically obtains the player’s affection, thereby increasing your charm value up to 99 points each time this effect occurs .

“This…” Tao Zhenzhen clenched the feathers and threw them back at Gorgeous ‧ Moran . She said, “I’m giving it back to you, I don’t want it . ”

Gorgeous ‧ Moran squatted down, once again picking the feathers back up . She walked to Tao Zhenzhen’s side and smiled . “Whether you want it or not, I have already given it to you . The charm value that was added to you will not change,” she said, equipping the feathers on the back of Tao Zhenzhen’s head and rearranging it a few times before she was satisfied .

Tao Zhenzhen did not move, apparently accepting the gift . However, as a merchant, she generally liked to calculate the cost and benefits . When Gorgeous ‧ Moran gave her this item, it allowed her to rush into first place in the beauty rankings, which was undoubtedly a valuable effect .

Jumping to first place on the rankings being one of its rewards was pleasantly unexpected .

At the same time, after the feathers were put onto Tao Zhenzhen, the system automatically popped up another message .

Name: Angel’s Feathers

Type: Accessory

Cla.s.s: Rare (Orange)

Attributes:

Tao Zhenzhen pondered for a while . After calculating the cost, she asked, “Say, how many gold coins do you want in return?”

Gorgeous ‧ Moran’s lips twitched a couple of times, looking at her helplessly . “I don’t want any money . I’m giving this to you to make up for my prior rudeness . To make it clear with you, I am giving it out of kind intentions . ”

“I don’t trust you,” Tao Zhenzhen said .

“I got these feathers by chance . I can’t trade them nor can I sell them . The only choice I had was to give it . ” Gorgeous ‧ Moran witnessed a shocked expression plastered on Tao Zhenzhen and continue to say, “I’ve been thinking about who was the best person to give this thing . I did not expect that it would finally come in handy . ”

Tao Zhenzhen carefully touched the feathers behind her head and said, “You are lucky . This is the first charm accessory that was installed into Fantasy World . It’s even rarer than the Red Costumes . Its attributes are impressive as wearing it already gives 999 charm . You gave me this as a present, but it’s really expensive . ”

“So, you’re asking me what I want for compensation?” Gorgeous ‧ Moran incredulously looked at her .

“Yes, I don’t want to regret accepting it later,” Tao Zhenzhen said solemnly . Although Gorgeous ‧ Moran gave it to her, Tao Zhenzhen would always feel uncomfortable if gifts were given to her for free . While she would easily accept gifts from others, this person was Gorgeous ‧ Moran . She found this situation both unacceptable and unbelievable . Was Gorgeous ‧ Moran giving her a good treasure to be friends with her?

If Tao Zhenzhen was by herself, she would never come across this item . She would shout in the global chat and send charms until she got 10,000 in charm value to ensure that she was promoted on the charm list . As long as she could get 50,000 gold coins from the item, she would be satisfied .

Indeed, this price was actually very fair . Compared to the benefits of being promoted to the top of the beauty rankings, paying that much was really nothing .

“Pfft~” Gorgeous ‧ Moran could no longer resist . Suddenly, her smile distorted and she held her stomach in laughter . She said with difficulty, “I have never seen someone as funny as you . ”

“What’s so funny?” Tao Zhenzhen looked at her and couldn’t help but stamp her feet . She almost did a boxing punch towards her to knock her out, but she instead, continued to stamp her feet .

Gorgeous ‧ Moran held back her smile for fear of angering this bunny even more, especially since she didn’t cool down easily . Suddenly, she curled the corners of her lips and smirked . She made a wry smile and said, “If you promise me one thing, then that will be my compensation for giving the item . ”

She understood that Tao Zhenzhen did not trust her . She also believed that Tao Zhenzhen was holding back because of her, so even if she liked the accessory, she didn’t dare to accept for free .

She had to say that Tao Zhenzhen was awfully stubborn . She had simply contacted her in order to become friends . While she had an objective in doing so, it was actually to purely have fun with an interesting person and nothing more .

“What promise?” Tao Zhenzhen immediately raised her guard and stood facing Gorgeous ‧ Moran .

Gorgeous ‧ Moran grabbed the huge syringe from behind her . Hugging it within her arms, she said something that made Tao Zhenzhen fear for her life . “Let me give you a shot!”

“Whatwhatwhat…what? You’re…You’re kidding with me!” Tao Zhenzhen couldn’t help but step back and observe the needle that was thicker than her own thigh . Looking at the needle, she could imagine that even if it killed people, she would not be surprised .

“Extend your hand out and give it a try . ” Gorgeous ‧ Moran laughed .

“Don’t you dare think about it!” Tao Zhenzhen withdrew her arms and ran away . In fact, this area didn’t allow PK (player killing), so Tao Zhenzhen didn’t have to worry about Gorgeous ‧ Moran’s a.s.sault . But just one look at the syringe made her scalp numb as she cowered before it .

“Just one shot and the debt will be fully paid off . ” Gorgeous ‧ Moran curled her lips and continued to tempt her .

 “I don’t want it! I don’t even have any debts with you!” Tao Zhenzhen continued to move backward as she refused to “die” .

At this point, the surrounding players’ eyes were directed at them . Excluding their strange expressions, they were extremely excited .

On one side was a weird and gorgeous vice president, who was known for her legend of not dying despite being surrounded by numerous enemies during a certain night; on the other side was the current number one beauty in the rankings, the ice female wizard who mastered the Meteor Strike Skill .

A terrible syringe meant for livestock and one pure and cute lolita . What were these two people even doing?

The surrounding crowd stared at them, but for various reasons, the players did not dare to approach . Instead, they recorded the scene on video .

“Isn’t it alright? Without debt, we won’t have to overcomplicate the matters between us anymore . We can then become good friends, can’t we?” Gorgeous ‧ Moran withdrew her threatening syringe and plainly said .

With the needle no longer pointing at her, Tao Zhenzhen scalp wasn’t numb anymore, and her tone regained some confidence . “Where in the world would there be a person like you who would threaten others in order to become friends?”

“Can’t you just become my friend? I think that if we become friends, we could make up for each other’s faults and become stronger together . If we cooperate, then we will definitely make others terrified of the sight of us . Later, doing various quests will become easier when we work together . ” Gorgeous ‧ Moran listed the benefits out loud .

“Forget it, I’m fine by myself . ” Tao Zhenzhen immediately shook her head . To be honest, Gorgeous ‧ Moran thought her proposal wasn’t bad, but she made a slight miscalculation . Tao Zhenzhen was a merchant . She wanted to transcribe, lay low, a.n.a.lyze market information, procure powerful equipment, etc . These were not the same things as what Gorgeous ‧ Moran did .  

However, was any of this related to becoming friends?

“Since you won’t cooperate . ” Gorgeous ‧ Moran pointed the needle back towards Tao Zhenzhen and lowered her voice . “I can only give you an injection . ”

“What kind of irrational joke is this?” Tao Zhenzhen looked at the needle that was gradually approaching her and became scared . To be honest, Tao Zhenzhen would not be scared if she faced dragons or tigers . But whenever she sees a normal syringe, her legs would immediately go soft, let alone this extrlarge syringe .

“You, don’t you dare come closer!” Tao Zhenzhen, who fell to the ground, had an aggrieved expression .

“You won’t die, it’s only one poke . ” Gorgeous ‧ Moran had a wry smile . She glanced at Tao Zhenzhen’s arm, thinking that injecting it with her needle should be wonderful .

“Don’t think that you can continue bullying me!” At this moment, a pet.i.te figure rapidly dashed towards the retreating figure . Afterward, the syringe in Gorgeous ‧ Moran’s hands suddenly escaped from her grasp and charged at Tao Zhenzhen’s chest . Unfortunately, the needle completely pierced into the right side of Tao Zhenzhen’s body .

At this moment, the area became dead silent .

When Tao Zhenzhen saw what had happened, she tumbled over her two legs and almost pa.s.sed out .
