Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 17 - 16 Complicating Simple Problems

Why did Yu Shujun do this?

Isn't she blatantly targeting Wen Nan? What benefit does it have for her to put Wen Nan in trouble?

In fact, stepping back a bit, Yu Shujun's actions to create two "Shura Fields" for Wen Nan through certain means can also be seen as taking actions centered around Wen Nan.

It's just that Qiqi, Wu Yuwei, Xiao Lajiao, and Aunt Mei, their behavioral logic leans towards getting close to Wen Nan, creating opportunities to interact with Wen Nan as much as possible, which also aligns more with the purpose of this "attend the appointment" task.

However, Yu Shujun's actions seem to be more about causing trouble for Wen Nan.

And causing trouble for Wen Nan will not help the two of them complete the "attend the appointment" task more quickly, but only make this task more tricky.

So, for some reason, Yu Shujun doesn't want Wen Nan to complete the task so smoothly... why?

Of course, it's not unusual for some strategy characters to have a favorability score of 0, or even negative, before the task starts.

Yu Shujun's character setting is originally "a cold and scheming overachiever," so it's very normal for her to have a cold attitude at the beginning.

Yu Shujun's initial favorability toward Wen Nan is very low, combined with the fact that Wen Nan has now lost the full charm value bonus, making her resistant to this appointment task, which is not surprising.

But the problem is...

The actions of Yu Shujun encouraging Wu Yuwei, and helping Xiao Lajiao and Aunt Mei enter the campus, all occurred before she met Wen Nan.

Which means, when Wen Nan was still at full charm value, and the two of them had not even met yet, Yu Shujun was already committed to causing trouble for Wen Nan.

Great grievances, great animosity?

Is it just because Wen Nan did not show up for the appointment on time? That's unlikely, and Yu Shujun gave the letter to Wu Yuwei before her tutoring session with Wen Nan, at which time she should not have known that Wen Nan would be late, right?

Of course, taking a step back, in romance strategy games, occasionally there are one or two characters that are hard to conquer; at the beginning of the instance story, they have negative feelings or even hostility towards the protagonist, which is not unheard of.

After all, conquering an enemy that seems insurmountable is far more satisfying than accepting a childhood sweetheart whose ending is already written in the script.

However, Wen Nan feels that Yu Shujun's situation clearly does not belong to the former.

One of the reasons is that this is only the novice trial zone, and Wen Nan feels that there shouldn't be a romance target so difficult to conquer, otherwise, this game would be too unfriendly for beginners.

Moreover, Yu Shujun's strategy difficulty is only rated at one and a half stars, which by any measure shouldn't make her a character with such natural hostility towards Wen Nan.

Of course, these are all Wen Nan's subjective judgments and cannot be used as direct evidence.

As for direct evidence...

Wen Nan: [9527]

9527: [I'm here]

Wen Nan: [Yu Shujun just admitted earlier that she's Wu Yuwei's best friend, did you hear that]

9527: [Yes, confirmation has been made for you, there is a best friend relationship between Yu Shujun and Wu Yuwei]

Wen Nan: [So, in the background introduction you provided about Wu Yuwei earlier, which said, 'Fortunately, her best friend found the letter at the back door of the classroom and promptly alerted Xiao Wei,' in this description, her best friend is Yu Shujun?]

9527: [Yes, congratulations! You successfully discovered a blind spot! You've earned an extra map exploration reward, 10 gold coins!]

Wen Nan: ...

10 gold coins? Is this some kind of joke?

And if I hadn't asked, would you not have planned to give me these 10 coins either?

Wen Nan couldn't be bothered to argue with the system, and quickly returned to the main topic: [9527, retrieve Yu Shujun's background introduction again]

9527: [Here is Yu Shujun's background introduction—

Background: Yu Shujun has been a top student since she was a child, always ranking first in her grade in every exam, never dropping to second place.

She is completely disinterested in anything other than studying. Apart from attending classes, taking exams, completing assignments, and participating in Olympiad competitions, her high school life is devoid of any other activities.

She is not only an "insulator" of romance but also of friendship.

She always acts alone, having no lover, no friends, and no social relationships that would distract her.

She does not participate in extracurricular activities, class gatherings, or social events...]

Wen Nan: [Okay, stop, right here]

Wen Nan: [9527, are you sure that the background introduction you're giving me now is Yu Shujun's current real situation?]

9527: [I'm sure]

Wen Nan: [So you're saying, Yu Shujun has always been acting alone, has no lover, no friends, no social relationships that would distract her?]

9527: [Yes]

Wen Nan: [Then tell me, why does she have a best friend?]

9527: ...

9527: [A best friend usually refers to a close relationship between two female friends, it's a form of friendship...]

Wen Nan: ...

This is where AI can get annoying.

When it can't answer a question, it starts giving unrelated explanations of terms...

But Wen Nan doesn't care anymore.

He has already confirmed his judgment from the system—Yu Shujun, has a problem.

Either Yu Shujun's identity information as a strategy character in the trial map was tampered with, and what the system presents to Wen Nan now is a false background introduction.

Or, the information given by the system does indeed belong to the character Yu Shujun, but... the person sitting next to Wen Nan now is not Yu Shujun.

Among these two possibilities, Wen Nan leans more toward the latter.

Thinking of this, Wen Nan was about to call the system again in his mind when his companion's movement interrupted his thoughts.

At this time, Yu Shujun raised her wrist, glanced at the watch dial, and then said with a cold face, "Time's up, today's tutoring ends here."

After saying that, she put away the papers on the table, picked up her backpack, and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment!" Wen Nan called after her.

Yu Shujun turned her head back, "If there's any problem, save it for the next tutoring session."

"But the question just now, I still haven't figured it out."

Yu Shujun frowned slightly, "Ye Jiu, why do you have to make a simple single-choice question so complicated?"

Wen Nan: ...

He suspected she was implying something, but he had no evidence.

As Yu Shujun left the classroom, the system's voice sounded in Wen Nan's mind.

9527: [Congratulations! You have successfully completed Main Task 1, please head back to the trial zone refresh point as soon as possible—your dormitory—for task settlement.]

Wen Nan did not move immediately but asked: [9527, how many players participated in this novice trial zone map?]
