Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks

Chapter 1998: Just Let Me Cry

Furthermore, the numbers needed in order to be promoted to being an ultra task-taker was seriously too painful.

“Counterattacks require that you offer up your soul energy. Are you sure you want a counterattack? Once the deal is made, you can’t change your mind,” said Ning Shu.

“I’m sure, I’m willing to give 60% of my soul power.” Yue Shuangshuang nodded with a firm expression.

“Alright, I accept this task.” Ning Shu agreed.

One thing that Ning Shu was rather curious about was, what exactly was that mysterious pearl in Lian Bingmeng’s possession? It had actually been able to make Lian Bingmeng strong enough to summon that many powerful beasts.

“Thank you.” Yue Shuangshuang’s soul gradually disappeared. Ning Shu opened the system marketplace and exchanged for basic necessities like fasting pills in preparation for starting the task.

“Let’s enter the task,” Ning Shu said to the void.

“Understood.”

Ning Shu felt the sensation of her soul merging with a body. Once it was fully merged, she opened her stinging eyes. They were burning slightly with pain.

This body was sobbing with her face buried on the table. Someone next to her was pushing her gently.

“Shuangshuang, I never thought that things would end up like this. How was I supposed to know that Mu Ziqi would think that I was the one who was confessing? I’m sorry.”

Ning Shu lifted her head and looked towards the girl who was talking. The girl next to her was wearing the white robe uniform of the summoning school and her long hair was tied up in a ponytail.

Pretty much all the girls in the summoning school dressed like this.

Her facial features were exquisite, and there was a sort of flamboyant charm to her, causing her to be especially captivating.

“Shuangshuang, isn’t just a man? I’ll introduce you to even better men in the future. He’s the one that’s missing out for not liking you.” Lian Bingmeng said, “Can it be that our friendship is gonna be ruined just because of a boy?”

Ning Shu wiped her eyes with a tissue, then blew her nose. Her voice was hoarse as she said, “Just let me cry and pay homage to my now dead crush. Can’t I at least do that?”

“I knew it, you do blame me. To be honest, I don’t get why you’re that obsessed over just a guy.” Lian Bingmeng shrugged helplessly. “It’s not like Mu Ziqi’s the only man in the world.”

Please don’t use your point of view to look down on other people’s weaknesses. Since you were strong and beautiful, there were plenty of people you could choose from. However, for someone like Yue Shuangshuang, if the person she liked also liked her, then it was already the greatest happiness in the world.

Sigh…

This little boat of friendship definitely had to be overturned. The two of them had completely different views of the world and had gone through completely different life experiences. Lian Bingmeng had been an international mercenary, while Yue Shuangshuang was just a weak and sensitive person.

The best interactions were interactions where two people were evenly matched. This was true regardless of whether it was friendship or love.

“I don’t blame you. I know that I’m not a good match for Mu Ziqi. He comes from a noble family, while I’m just a commoner. On top of that, I don’t have much talent,” Ning Shu said lightly.

Lian Bingmeng patted Ning Shu on the shoulder. “Don’t underestimate yourself, there’s no need to compare yourself with others. To me, you’re the best. At least you’re better than those people who flatter the strong and bully the weak.”

“Thank you for the compliment.” Ning Shu smiled.

So who was in the wrong in this situation?

From your own point of view, you were never in the wrong.

Lian Bingmeng sighed, obviously relieved. In all honesty, Lian Bingmeng sometimes felt that it was pretty tiring to interact with the sensitive Yue Shuangshuang. She always had to pay attention to her words out of worry that something she inadvertently said would cause hurt.

However, Yue Shuangshuang had a kind heart. Back when she was still known as useless, Yue Shuangshuang was the only one that would stand up for her and speak on her behalf.

This was very rare in a world like this where only the strong were respected. If it had been anyone else with a slightly darker heart, they probably would have ruthlessly bullied her, this person who was even weaker.

“Bingmeng, it’s time to go eat.” Mu Ziqi walked in.

Mu Ziqi was quite handsome. Dressed in the academy’s uniform, he gave off a heroic aura.
