When the Female Lead Becomes Obsessive – Chapter 168

Volume Eight: Those Years When I Was an Alpha

Pervert¹

“Yichuan?” Xi Chen saw Jiang Yichuan standing at the mouth of the alley, looking as if she was deep in thought. “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Yichuan put away the rose petal and handed the six communication chips to Xi Chen. “Chaoyang gave these to us, for contacting each other.”

“Chaoyang?” Xi Chen looked around. “You saw Chaoyang?”

“Mhm,” Jiang Yichuan pointed towards the alley. “In here.”

“Has she already left?” Xi Chen didn’t see any sign of Chaoyang in the alley.

He looked at the chips in his hand. “She only came to give us communication chips?”

And to flirt with me a bit, but Jiang Yichuan wouldn’t say something that would annoy her.

“Mhm,” she replied. “That’s all.”

“…” Xi Chen felt that Jiang Yichuan was hiding something, but if he pressed her, she wouldn’t tell him the truth anyway.

“Alright, let’s head back to the hotel first.”

“What’s this thing for?” Quan Yang looked at the chip, which was about the size of his pinky nail. “Just for communication? How do you use it?”

“This is a recently emerged communication device. Its signal reception and shielding capabilities are far superior to the optical computers we currently use and even the communicators in the military,” Shi Jiayang said, pulling up the data he had collected on his own optical computer. “The method of use is to inject it into the skin tissue. The chip is then operated through perception and mental strength.”

“Something so awesome, why have I never heard of it?” Quan Yang felt like he had been an idiot who knew nothing ever since leaving Planet Tofis.

Chu Luo smacked him. “I told you to listen properly in class, but you wouldn’t. The teacher mentioned this chip to us before.”

“…Huh?” Quan Yang scratched his head, speechless. He looked at the others. “Did you guys know?”

The others nodded silently.

Quan Yang: “…”

So among this group, I’m the only study dreg²?!

“This chip is not yet officially in circulation in the interstellar universe because the various planets cannot contact the designer who created it, nor can they crack the central code within the chip. So, even if the major planets gather all the materials to make the chip, they can’t replicate the advanced code and operating programs inside.”

Shi Jiayang swiped his finger across the projection, pointing at a coordinate marked in red. “This chip first appeared six months ago on Planet Derobu³.”

“Planet Derobu? Isn’t that…”

Quan Yang knew of this planet. It was very mysterious; it could disappear from the interstellar universe at any time and could also suddenly appear in the vicinity of major planets. Thus, people named it the “Ghost” planet.

The inhibitor and blocker formulas were also discovered on this Planet Derobu, and the designer who created them was named “Sun.”

Shi Jiayang guessed, “So I suspect the designer of this chip might still be…”

“Sun!” Chu Luo finished his sentence affirmatively.

“I really want to meet this designer named Sun. The things he creates are all so magical,” Shi Yaqi sighed with admiration.

“Sun has vanished in recent years, and many planets can’t find any trace of him. With the appearance of this chip now, many people are speculating whether Sun has decided to re-enter the Jianghu⁴.”

Xi Chen also knew a little about Sun. Planet Tofis had once wanted to hire Sun to be its chief planetary designer, but was regrettably rejected. It wasn’t just Planet Tofis; the other major planets also rushed to it like a flock of ducks⁵. They all delivered olive branches⁶ to him.

Shi Jiayang took out a chip injector from his storage pack and placed the six chips inside. “Come on, I’ll give you all the injections first.”

“Did Chaoyang give us this chip to imply that our current optical computers have likely been hacked?” Chu Luo guessed.

“That should be it.” Xi Chen turned off his optical computer. “You all should turn yours off too.”

“Then how do we contact Major Rossi?” Shi Yaqi turned off her optical computer and asked with concern.

Chu Luo said, “Chaoyang. She can contact Major Rossi. All of our activities are under Chaoyang’s control.”

Shi Yaqi thought for a moment. “True!”

Shi Jiayang injected the chip behind everyone’s ear for easy concealment and communication.

“How do you use this chip?” Quan Yang touched the spot that had just been injected.

“Use your mental and perceptual strength to activate the chip, then silently state the function you need the chip to perform in your mind,” Shi Jiayang closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them to look at the light projection in the empty air. “See? I just thought about projecting in my mind, and it instantly projected.”

Quan Yang was surprised. “It’s that simple? Let me try.”

Everyone began to learn how to use the chip. Jiang Yichuan leaned against the wall, closing her eyes to understand the chip’s functions.

Suddenly, a red light flashed. Someone had sent her a message.

Jiang Yichuan frowned, opening her eyes to look at the others. Seeing they had no reaction and were all immersed in learning about the chip, she wondered.

Was this message sent only to me?

The only person who could know they were using the chips right now was that person.

Jiang Yichuan opened the message and looked at the content.

Little Rose: [No need to look at others, I’m talking to you privately. Isn’t it exciting?]

Little Rose?!

Jiang Yichuan touched the rose petal in her pocket, feeling that this person was truly despicable.

She rubbed her fingers together. It is pretty exciting. So exciting it makes me want to hit someone.

Little Rose: [If there’s anything you don’t understand about the chip, feel free to ask me. I will definitely tell you everything I know.]

Jiang Yichuan: [Everything you know? So you’ll tell me anything I ask?]

Little Rose: [You can only ask me about the chip, oh. Or is it that you want to get to know me? Do you like me?]

Jiang Yichuan rolled her eyes.

Jiang Yichuan: [A person who is covered in secrets, what is there to like?]

Little Rose: [Don’t you think a person with secrets is more exciting to like? Secrets are like clothes. You have to take my clothes off with your own hands to see the truly pure me underneath.]

“…” Jiang Yichuan took a deep breath and cursed under her breath, “Damn pervert.”⁷

Little Rose: [Xiao Chuanchuan, are you calling me a pervert?]

“…” Jiang Yichuan’s brow twitched when she saw the name Chaoyang used for her.

Jiang Yichuan: [If you’re not willing to say, then forget it.]

Jiang Yichuan: [Also, don’t call me Xiao Chuanchuan.]

Little Rose: [I think Xiao Chuanchuan sounds very nice. It makes us sound close. You can call me Xiao Yangyang, too.]

“…” Jiang Yichuan rolled her eyes. “Disgusting.”

Jiang Yichuan: [I have no interest in being close with you.]

She blocked and deleted this alpha, and was just about to exit the communicator when she saw the familiar little red dot light up again.

Little Rose: [Xiao Chuanchuan, how could you block and delete me? I’m heartbroken. Only kiss kiss, hug hug, lift high high⁸ can cheer me up, oh.]

Jiang Yichuan’s brows furrowed tightly. [Are you monitoring me?]

Little Rose: [Nope, I’m just worried about you. Afraid you’re in danger.]

Jiang Yichuan: [You are the most dangerous.]

Little Rose: [Dangerous women are the most charming. Have I charmed you?]

Jiang Yichuan’s pupils widened slightly. [So you’re a woman.]

Little Rose: [Oops, I’ve been exposed. Congratulations on taking off my first piece of clothing, oh, Xiao Chuanchuan.]

Jiang Yichuan had no patience to be inserting gags and making impromptu jokes⁹ with this person. Since she couldn’t close the messages, she would just pretend she didn’t see them. Out of sight, out of mind.

Wen Nuan saw that Jiang Yichuan was no longer replying and smiled helplessly. “Such a stubborn temper.”

【How do you plan to lower the female lead’s blackening value?】 the system asked, seeing Wen Nuan joking around with the female lead without any seriousness.

It was a little worried: 【The female lead’s blackening value remains high. You need to lower it as soon as possible.】

“Slowly,” Wen Nuan took a drag from her cigarette. “The her in this world isn’t easy to handle.”

She planned to slowly get into Jiang Yichuan’s heart. The little girl had been hurt by her to the point of having some PTSD.

The system also knew the difficulty of Wen Nuan’s position. The thought of what Wen Nuan did before leaving this mission world gave it a headache. 【Alright, desire speed then not arrive¹⁰.】

The six of them familiarized themselves with the communication chips Wen Nuan had given them, and they all knew the basic operations.

“Tsk, the designer who made this chip is a real genius,” Quan Yang exclaimed.

“Indeed. This chip must have many functions. What we understand so far is too superficial. It’s just that the time and place aren’t convenient, otherwise I’d really love to study it,” Shi Jiayang’s eyes revealed excitement and thrill.

“Brother, calm down. Wait until we complete the mission and return to Planet Tofis, then you can study it properly,” Shi Yaqi soothed her younger brother. This was the one downside of an engineering guy¹¹; they tended to get excited and thrilled at the sight of high-tech things, like they had taken drugs.

Shi Jiayang thought for a moment, a little disappointed. “I’m afraid Chaoyang will take back these chips after the mission is over.”

These chips were too valuable. Few people in the Federation and the Empire used them, let alone students like them.

“She won’t,” Xi Chen said. “Chaoyang said she won’t take them back.”

Shi Jiayang asked excitedly, “How do you know?”

“She sent us a message.” Xi Chen lifted his chin. “There’s a message in the group chat.”

“Group?” Quan Yang opened the communicator and saw a newly created chat group. He was surprised. “Who created this group?”

Chu Luo said, “Chaoyang. She’s the group owner.”

The group name was “God.” Chaoyang even knew their team name perfectly.

The first message in the group was one Chaoyang had just sent.

Chaoyang: [No need.]

Quan Yang was puzzled. “Her saying ‘no need’ means we don’t have to return the chips to her, right?”

Chu Luo saw the latest message in the group. “Chaoyang says yes.”

Chaoyang: [Yes.]

“Wait, Quan Yang clearly didn’t say anything in the group. How did Chaoyang know?” Shi Yaqi said, astonished.

Quan Yang instantly got goosebumps. “Damn, Shi Yaqi, you’re scaring me!”

“I guess Chaoyang is monitoring us through the chips. She can probably perceive our usual conversations,” Shi Jiayang speculated.

Chaoyang: [I have no interest in paying attention to your chats.]

Everyone: “…”

Shi Jiayang thought he had angered Chaoyang and immediately replied in the group.

Shi Jiayang: [Teacher Chaoyang, that’s not what I meant. I’m sorry.]

Chaoyang: [It’s fine.]

Shi Jiayang breathed a sigh of relief. “Teacher Chaoyang seems so cold and cool.”

“That’s what shows Teacher Chaoyang’s dignified, grand, cool, and reserved temperament,” Shi Yaqi said with the face of a flower idiot¹². “I don’t know if Teacher Chaoyang is a man or a woman, but gender doesn’t matter to me anyway.”

“She’s a woman,” Jiang Yichuan spoke up.

“Huh?” Shi Yaqi looked at Jiang Yichuan. “How do you know?”

Jiang Yichuan frowned. She had just answered casually.

She couldn’t very well explain to them that she and Chaoyang had been chatting privately just now, especially since the chat history wasn’t suitable for public viewing.

Xi Chen said, “When we went out to find Teacher Chaoyang earlier, Yichuan ran into her. She must have discovered that Teacher Chaoyang was a woman then, right?”

Shi Yaqi was doubtful. “Is that so?”

Jiang Yichuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. “Mhm.”

She tacitly accepted the explanation Xi Chen had given her.

“Hey, Teacher Chaoyang was wrapped in a windbreaker and wearing a mask. Many people who have come into contact with Teacher Chaoyang don’t know she’s a woman. How did you know?” Quan Yang expressed his confusion.

Shi Yaqi also realized. “True! Yichuan, how did you find out?”

Jiang Yichuan was suddenly in a situation where a hundred mouths could not argue¹³. “I…”

“…Huh?” Chu Luo looked at Jiang Yichuan, his shocked and incredulous gaze falling upon her. “Then… do you guys want to check… the group?”

The others immediately looked at the group chat.

In the next second, the looks they gave Jiang Yichuan all turned strange, as if to say, “How could you do such a thing?”

Jiang Yichuan grew puzzled under their stares. She opened the group chat, saw the message Chaoyang had just sent, and her eyes instantly widened.

Chaoyang: [She took off my clothes and touched my chest.]

Jiang Yichuan: “…”

Fuck!

That damn pervert!
