She’s Always Good at Dying - Chapter 1.1

Chapter 1 part 1

It was late afternoon in June, the sun was shining, and the room was bright.

There were a few youngsters inside a guesthouse, ranging from 17 or 18 years old, gathered to play board games. A meter-long game map was spread on the table, covered with colored pieces while someone was diligently shaking the dice.

“It’s a 7! You have to go forward 7 frames…. Come on, come on, draw the event card!”

The teenage girls were clamoring, filling the room with noises, while Xu Turan was sitting in a corner, out of place.

She was quietly sitting in the corner, holding a packet of rainbow candy in her hand, chewing it carelessly. Her beautiful face was expressionless, as if she couldn’t hear the surrounding noise.

After Gu Xiaoya finished her turn, she turned her head and looked at Xu Turan, then frowned and pinched the boy next to her.

“What do you call her for!” She lowered her voice and said to the boy, “Who told you to invite her here?”

Coaxing people to drink pear juice with a swoosh, he smiled and tsked, “Didn’t you told me to find a chance to talk to her?”

“I told you to ask her in private, talk it out and apologize. Who asked you to pull her in a party!” Gu Xiaoya continued grumbling, “Even if you managed to pull her over here, you also wouldn’t let the people you invite to play properly. Gu Chenfeng, don’t think that I didn’t see you guys with one thought, deliberately pitting her out of the game! You pretended not to hear when I stopped you!”

“It was obviously her own bad luck.” The boy snorted, “Besides, what’s there to apologize for? I was the one who was harassed, not her!”

Xu Turan is their junior high school classmate. Actually only two years in the same class as she then transferred to abroad. Until the college entrance examination ended a while ago, they hadn’t been in contact before.

But a week ago, she appeared before Gu Chenfeng in their senior class farewell dinner party, and confessed to Gu Chenfeng in public with shocking words. She was rejected after stalking him, but she also swore that she had been in a long-distance online relationship with Gu Chenfeng for three years. The scene was very unsightly.

“An-an was pissed off on the spot! The people next to me were even jeering.” Gu Chenfeng grumbled less than happily. An-an was the girl he had a crush on and she hadn’t spoken to him since that day.

“I’ve been laughed at by my classmates because of this until now, and all you can think about is asking me to apologize.”

Gu Xiaoya was his twin sister, only a minute older than him, but she had an ample amount of arrogance. Gu Chenfeng was forced to not do anything, and really didn’t want to have any more personal contact with Xu Turan. So he took the opportunity of their junior high school reunion and called her over.

Their school is integrated, and there were also quite a number of people from the same junior and senior high school. Gu Chenfeng’s personal relationship was good, so it was only natural that they would be on his side and ostracize Xu Turan.

Their joint backstabbing on their board game was only one of their plots, deliberately neglecting her and being cold in almost every aspect. Even though Gu Xiaoya was doing her best to assist her and keep a straight line, it was difficult to counteract their unconcealed sense of rejection they have for Xu Turan.

“If she had known better, she would have left just now. I’ve told you, she’s not normal….” Gu Chenfeng grunted and was pinched by Gu Xiaoya again. She looked worriedly at Xu Turan in the distance and lowered her voice. “I didn’t say you must apologize, but there was clearly a misunderstanding. How many times should I tell you? You should say something properly, don’t just vent your emotions…. You’re stupid.”

She sighed: “I’m going to talk to her now. When you’re more mature, you should handle it! Have some manners, you hear me…?”

… Don’t. 

Please, please don’t. 

On the other hand, as she listened to the whispers of the siblings, Xu Turan thought with an expressionless face.

It is not that she deliberately eavesdropped, but she was born with better hearing. Especially when someone mentions her name, that voice, it’s almost like being sent to her by the wind.

And her reason for not wanting Gu Xiaoya to come over was also very simple. Not only because she didn’t want to talk, but it was also because she didn’t know what they were talking about.

After all, it had only been three days since she arrived in this world.

——To be precise, it was only three days since she crossed over to this world.

The current ‘Xu Turan’ was a crossover.

And what the place she is in now was the world built inside the novel 《The Fantastic Hundred Day Talk》.

It had an unusual plot. She originally lived in another world, and had the same name and gender as the book’s Xu Turan. She died because of an accident, and when she woke up, instead of the original body’s owner, she had possessed a body in a novel she had never heard of.

About her own memory of death, Xu Turan remembered only a little. The only thing she remembered was the sense that she was falling. It was a very long and very hot feeling of falling down. In a snap, like waking up in a nightmare, she was here.

As for the original body, according to the system, it had stopped breathing the night she crossed over. She had a heart attack while living alone and did not receive timely treatment.

Well, yes, the system – Xu Turan originally had a system.

The reason why it was ‘originally’ is because the first hour after she had traveled inside a book, the system screamed, saying that it needed to return to the factory for maintenance. It then ran away without looking back.

The return date is uncertain and expected to be quite long.

Even if it ran away, the point here is it didn’t leave her much valid information. Even to Xu Turan, the contents of this novel was unclear. The cheap system only told her that this is a thriller romance novel, and the original position of the original body is a cannon fodder – a woman who courted death.

This was also the only task that the system gave her.

–– The system’s only task for her is to continue her vitality and try her best to court death, blending in with the story’s atmosphere as much as possible. ––

As for what to do to ‘blend in,’ the system didn’t tell her anything. It promised her that this was only just one of the phases, and when it returns, it will give Xu Turan new sets of instructions. Until then, she just had to be serious in courting disaster.

“You know what it means to court disaster, right?” It also confirmed with Xu Turan before it left.

Xu Turan was a bane of other’s existence in her last life – no money, no love, no family, only a heart that didn’t know how to write the word ‘death’. She seriously recalled her experience of dying, full of confidence and said that it would be no problem.

So the system left in peace. Before leaving, it left her with a prop mystery box, some novel-related information, and a death value calculation software.

The calculation software is directly bound to Xu Turan’s vitality. With the accumulation of death value, she can activate different degrees of functional rewards. The system solemnly promised that if Xu Turan’s software is full before it returns, it will give Xu Turan an additional wish.

“And if I couldn’t finish it?” Xu Turan seriously asked.

“Then you’ll have to really die.” The system also seriously replied, “According to the rules, I can only ‘strip’ you.”

Strip – it doesn’t sound like a good word.
