Chapter 74: Don't Want to See a Doctor? Then Social Death It Is (Revision)

【Side Quest Trigger: Sick Roommate】

【Task Description: Your roommate Luo Jinyou's Mutation Value has risen abnormally, accompanied by fever, dizziness and other symptoms. As a qualified roommate, please immediately escort him to the Academy medical office for a professional examination.】

【Task Objective: Escort Luo Jinyou to Mitra Academy medical office (0/1)】

【Task Reward: Experience +10%, Luo Jinyou affection +5】

Ying Duo stared at the suddenly popped-up quest prompt, then glanced at Luo Jinyou on the bed, whose cheeks were flushed and whose condition was clearly off.

To the medical office?

Fine, although the experience is low, they have plenty of time.

They no longer hesitated, reached out and grabbed Luo Jinyou's arm, then pulled him outward.

"Come on, to the medical office."

Seeing Ying Duo take him to the medical office without discussion, Luo Jinyou instantly panicked and flung Ying Duo's hand away.

Instinctively, Luo Jinyou shrank back, burying himself in the quilt core that lacked a cover and was uncomfortable, exposing only a pair of frantic blue eyes, his voice weak and urgent.

"N-no need to go to the medical office... really, I'll take some medicine, just rest a bit..."

He had already lost control once before; if the risk of another loss of control truly reappeared......

Luo Jinyou only wanted to hide himself in a corner no one could find, enduring the sudden illness alone.

Ying Duo watched him curl into the quilt, only a few strands of messy white hair showing an ostrich-like appearance, his golden eyes unmoving, and he simply shook his head calmly.

"Not what you think, but what I think—go to the medical office."

Unfortunately, their strength allocation was still low; Luo Jinyou was afflicted with a weak debuff, making it impossible to directly drag anyone to the medical office.

Luo Jinyou: "......"

He only felt the familiar helplessness, so he tightly wrapped himself in the quilt, trying to use it to escape reality.

Anyway, Ying Duo's strength wasn't greater than his.

Ying Duo looked at the clearly resisting "Quilt Roll" on the bed, and merely pondered briefly.

He opened his system backpack, his gaze scanning quickly over the assorted items.

Since he couldn't forcefully pull a person out of the quilt, he decided to pack it together and take it away.

Speaking of hemp rope, he couldn't help recalling a regrettable gaming experience.

He remembered once defeating a monster that dropped a roll of hemp rope; not knowing its purpose, he curiously interacted with the roll, and the character immediately performed a self-hanging move.

The result was a wasted dungeon run, never even seeing the final boss.

Since then, Yang Yixie has held an extra "reverence" for such seemingly ordinary items, but now, he seemed to have found the correct use for this hemp rope.

If it didn't work, he would truly go talk to the game customer service for a while.

The 【Modification】 skill has broader applications; in this game it can even remodel and repair ordinary items.

The hemp rope he now held was crafted by using the 【Modification】 skill to embed fine alloy threads into ordinary rope, creating a "reinforced" rope with increased toughness and load capacity.

Ying Duo calmly retrieved from his system backpack the bundle of modified hemp rope that emitted a faint white glow and looked unusually sturdy.

He hoisted the rope, looked at the plump "Quilt Roll" on the bed, and the system interface clearly marked the usable target — 【Luo Jinyou】.

Target confirmed.

So, while Luo Jinyou was completely unaware and still immersed in the self-comfort "as long as I hide, he can't do anything," Ying Duo had already begun acting.

He deftly rolled the quilt together with the person inside, then used the special hemp rope, winding it tightly from top to bottom several times, finally tying an extremely secure knot.

The whole process flowed like clouds and water, extremely smooth, taking less than ten seconds in total.

When Luo Jinyou felt the binding sensation on his body and anxiously peered through the quilt's seam to check the situation, everything had already settled.

He strained to shift his body, finally managed to wrench his head out, and then saw that he was wrapped in the quilt like a spring roll, bound by rope, while Ying Duo bent down to hoist this "human-shaped quilt roll" onto his shoulder.

"Wait, wait! Ying Duo! What are you doing?! Let go of me!"

Luo Jinyou thrashed inside the quilt, his voice muffled and full of panic.

But Ying Duo ignored his protest, steadied the "cargo" on his shoulder, and marched out of Room 307 Dormitory with a steady, swift stride.

It was early morning, and students drifted out of the Dormitory Area in small groups, merging onto the main road leading to the teaching building.

Thus, a strange sight unfolded:

A boy with dazzling Ying Guang Lu short hair, expressionless, hoisted a massive quilt roll tightly bound with hemp rope that continued to writhe, striding purposefully toward the medical office opposite the teaching building.

"Uh... what is that?"

"The quilt turned into a spirit?"

"Carrying him... that's the freshman who blew up the exam hall, right? What kind of performance art is this?"

"Who's inside? Looks so pitiful..."

Whispered murmurs drifted from all directions.

Inside the quilt, Luo Jinyou, after his initial futile violent struggle, clearly heard the outside chatter.

He instantly went rigid, blood seeming to rush to his scalp, and could only completely abandon struggling, even trying to shrink deeper into the quilt, wishing he could become invisible on the spot.

He halted all struggle, even lightening his breathing, fearing someone outside might see him through the seam.

At that moment, he only wanted to turn into an ostrich on the spot, or simply vanish.

Compared with a socially death witnessed by the whole school, going to the medical office seemed... not that hard to accept.

And the instigator Ying Duo was completely immune to all the strange glances and commentary along the way.

He hoisted the "task item" on his shoulder, eyes level forward, steps steady, intent on reaching the quest marker as quickly as possible.

The roommate's social death? That wasn't within his considerations.

The affection didn't even drop; who cares?

Until Ying Duo stepped into the medical office doorway, carefully placing the "Quilt Nest Roll" on his shoulder onto a bench in the waiting area.

Inside, a female school doctor in a white coat, looking experienced, was organizing the instrument cabinet.

Hearing the movement, she turned around while speaking in a professionally gentle tone:

"Please come in, what's..."

The word "Shu" got stuck in her throat.

The school doctor saw at first glance the conspicuous Quilt Roll on Ying Duo's shoulder.

Her initial reaction was that she almost thought Ying Duo was a student sent to change the infirmary beds' sheets.

But immediately after, she saw Ying Duo's trademark Ying Guang Lu hair and instantly dismissed that guess.

Then she saw the "spring roll" that Ying Duo was shouldering shift slightly.

The school doctor's smile froze instantly, her eyes widened sharply, and even the scissors she was holding clanged down onto the metal tray.

Her brain seemed to crash for a few seconds, unable to process the scene before her that could be called a paranormal event.

What is this? A new form of performance art? Some kind of Aberrant Arts cultivation method she hadn't heard of? Or... a kidnapping case?!
