Chapter 75: Turns Out You Three Are the Same Person (Revision)

She laboriously moved her eyes from the spring roll to Ying Duo's expressionless face, then finally back to the constantly writhing Quilt Roll, her voice trembling.

"Ying… Ying Duo classmate? What are you doing? What are you carrying… what?"

She didn't even dare to ask directly: "Is there a person inside that writhing thing?"

Ying Duo ignored the school doctor's shock, but Luo Jinyou inside the Quilt Roll, upon hearing the outside commotion, writhed even more fiercely, trying to break free from the quilt's seal.

"He is sick."

Ying Duo pointed at the Quilt Roll, then began to untie the rope on it, while briefly explaining Luo Jinyou's condition.

"Mutation Value has reached 23, still feverish."

The school doctor, watching Ying Duo's skillful rope‑untying, twitched the corner of their eye, feeling that Ying Duo must have done this many times, otherwise they wouldn't be so proficient.

She forced herself to stay calm, took a deep breath, and stepped forward to help.

"Classmate, why… why did you bring him here in this way?"

At that moment, the rope was finally untied, and Ying Duo flung the quilt open, revealing Luo Jinyou curled into a ball inside, his face flushed (half fever, half embarrassment), hair disheveled, almost burying himself in the crevice.

The school doctor, seeing Luo Jinyou's face, was startled again.

She naturally recognized the student—the child of Professor Luo De'an, usually quiet, even a bit reclusive, yet a frequent visitor to the infirmary.

The issue was that Luo Jinyou had only visited the infirmary a few days ago, that time due to an abnormal rise in Mutation Value; how did it exceed 20 so quickly again?

If a regular student's Mutation Value exceeds 20 but isn't too high, it generally only causes minor troubles like dizziness.

But Luo Jinyou is a special student.

"Luo Jinyou?" the school doctor said, incredulous, "What… what exactly is going on?"

Luo Jinyou kept his head down, not daring to look at the school doctor, a vague sound coming from his throat, but he couldn't utter a single word, so ashamed and angry he felt like fainting right there.

Ying Duo had already completed the "delivery to door" task, earning 10% experience, but Luo Jinyou's favor hadn't registered yet, so he ignored the school doctor's question and reminded them instead.

"His Mutation Value is 23; he needs a check‑up."

The school doctor, looking at the self‑righteous Ying Duo and the mortified Luo Jinyou, felt that both his career and worldview were being profoundly shaken.

She opened her mouth, but seeing Ying Duo's unfocused, hollow stare, she realized Luo Jinyou's condition was indeed dire and required immediate treatment; in the end she swallowed the words she had about to say.

In the end, professional competence prevailed.

The school doctor could no longer worry about that, scrambling to fetch the Detection Device, which was far more accurate than the portable one Luo Jinyou carried.

"Mutation Value shows abnormal fluctuations, accompanied by inflammation and fever…"

She murmured to herself, injected Luo Jinyou with a gentle dose of Inhibitor and antipyretic, and told him to lie down and rest.

Before lying down, Luo Jinyou struggled, reached out, and grabbed her sleeve.

Luo Jinyou placed no hope in Ying Duo, relying solely on the school doctor.

"Teacher, I need a leave…"

At this time, class should have started long ago!

Ying Duo, you time‑oblivious game slave!

You opened your eyes this morning only to game; do you really still remember you have class today?

The school doctor was startled, quickly comforted him, saying she would contact his class teacher, and regarding Ying Duo…

She glanced at the quiet Ying Duo standing aside and realized he had no intention of leaving.

She thought she should at least inform their class teacher.

Originally worried the two wouldn't get along sharing a dorm, but it turned out Ying Duo went a long way to bring Luo Jinyou to the infirmary.

It is said that during Luo Jinyou's last Mutation Out of Control, Ying Duo also contributed significantly.

The two seemed to get along fine.

Recalling the earlier dorm‑assignment issue, the school doctor couldn't help but lower her voice and ask carefully.

"Ying Duo classmate, how do you get along with Luo Jinyou? If, um, you find it hard to adapt, or have any difficulties, the Academy can reassign your dormitory."

She thought, one child is reclusive and sensitive, the other's behavior… hard to judge by normal standards.

They had only lived together a short time before the incident of carrying a Quilt Roll for a medical visit; who knows what other mishaps might arise.

For both parties' physical and mental health, changing roommates might be better.

However, Ying Duo barely hesitated and shook his head outright.

"Not changing."

The school doctor was somewhat surprised.

"Why? You… got along well?"

She truly couldn't imagine how these two opposite personalities could "mesh."

Ying Duo didn't answer directly, but tilted his head; his strange rhombus‑shaped pupils stared straight at the school doctor, posing a question that caught her off guard.

"Are we that familiar?"

They hadn't even met before; why is this NPC probing for info?

The questioning is like checking household registration; this NPC is suspicious.

Teacher Li Ya: "......"

???

She was completely stunned, nearly dropping the Detection Device she was holding.

She looked at Ying Duo's earnest face asking the question, and a sense of absurdity rose.

"Familiar, familiar?!" Li Ya's voice rose noticeably.

"Ying Duo classmate, we've met several times! During the entrance exam and the registration day… I handled your paperwork and gave you the dorm key! Has it only been a few days?"

Ying Duo listened, his golden eyes flickered slightly.

In Yang Yixie's understanding, those NPCs wearing different uniforms, appearing in various scenes, issuing different quests often share the same base model, at most changing name and outfit.

He indeed hadn't linked the "Staff A" from the assessment with the "Registrar B" at check‑in before.

Now it seems......

Hmm, at least the modeled hair color is consistent?

How much information do you expect him to get from those pixelated squares?

"Oh."

Ying Duo blinked innocently, as if having solved a mystery of some world.

"So the three of you are the same person."

Teacher Li Ya: "......"

She stood frozen, holding the Detection Device, watching Ying Duo's "I see" expression; she opened her mouth to say something, but found any language appeared pale and powerless before Ying Duo.

Teacher Li Ya propped her forehead, sighed, gave up communicating with Ying Duo, and focused on examining Luo Jinyou, who on the bed seemed eager to crawl into the seam of the mattress.

Reason with Ying Duo?

She's afraid she'll be taken into the ditch first.
