Yu Shujun’s words came to a halt midway, his brows furrowed, chest heaving, and the force he applied onto the steering wheel was enough to deform the leather exterior, his whole body trembling slightly. Beads of sweat soon appeared on his pale face. He appeared like a patient having a sudden heart attack, as if he had abruptly fallen into extreme physical discomfort. "System warning?" Wen Nan asked with concern. Because it involved serious spoilers, was Yu Shujun punished in some way while being silenced? Yu Shujun’s bloodless lips tightened as he nodded. Wen Nan searched in his backup equipment inventory for a while, couldn’t find a suitable potion, then turned to the guild’s equipment library, and quickly spotted something called the [Spoiler Symptom Relief Capsule], with Gu Jinxing marked as the sharer. There was only one capsule, but it had been placed in his exclusive shared space before Wen Nan entered the instance, allowing him to directly access it in this instance. Wen Nan took out the capsule and handed it to Yu Shujun. Yu Shujun glanced at the small pill in Wen Nan’s hand. It wasn’t expensive as it could only alleviate symptoms, and there weren’t many players willing to buy it at a high price from the store, but it was extremely rare, and such an item had never existed in Yu Shujun’s guild’s shared equipment library. Shaking his head, Yu Shujun said, "No need, the symptoms will disappear on their own after a while." "Not using the medicine and insisting on enduring it yourself?" Wen Nan didn’t understand. He raised his hand to grasp Yu Shujun’s wrist, pulling his hand off the steering wheel, then pressed the pill into Yu Shujun’s palm. Yu Shujun stared blankly at Wen Nan, allowing the latter to hold his hand, and spoke softly, "This pain, if you wait a moment, will soon dissipate. If it happens when encountering hostile players, it might affect strength and agility, so leave it with you for a critical moment..." "What critical moment? I won’t need it," Wen Nan laughed, "I’ve been praised by the system, never involved in any spoilers up to now, awesome, right, your master?" Watching the smug curve on Wen Nan’s lips, Yu Shujun chuckled lightly. Wen Nan looked at Yu Shujun’s smiling face, vivid like a lily swaying in the wind, "What are you laughing at?" "Laughing at how adorably silly you are." Wen Nan was caught off guard by the compliment - he assumed it was a compliment - and after a moment’s pause, awkwardly switched the subject: "Hurry up and take it, that’s an order." A slight glow flashed across the golden control rune, and Yu Shujun opened the small round pillbox in his hand, pinched the pill, put it in his mouth, swallowed it, and quietly returned the pillbox intact to his pocket. Wen Nan was searching for water in his backup equipment inventory, unaware of Yu Shujun’s subtle action. By the time he found the water and was about to hand it over, he saw Yu Shujun had swallowed it dry and shook his head helplessly, but still shoved the water to him. Turning back, Wen Nan looked at Qiqi in the backseat, who was overly quiet, and found that she was holding a phone, still watching Sun Wukong’s book, though the Jingu Bang had been switched from a female version of Ultraman to a female version of the Third Prince. Wen Nan couldn’t understand, turning his gaze to Yu Shujun, who was drinking water, "You gave her that? Where did you get it?" Yu Shujun shrugged, "In the player community, there’s a lot." Wen Nan shook his head, thinking, the girl grew up; he couldn’t control it even if he wanted to. He then called up the critical items he had obtained from the system and started to study them. These critical items were related to the cohabiting storylines of each character, so they all had background introductions, except Wen Nan wasn’t bound yet, so they were in a shielded state, unable to display. However, from the clues obtained so far, Wen Nan could deduce something very important— This insight was gleaned from the information that Yu Shujun accidentally revealed. Yu Shujun was already a Gold-ranked player. Players of this level must be well aware of the system’s rules prohibiting spoilers, and Yu Shujun had always been strict about adhering to them. So why was he careless this time and let slip something he shouldn’t have? It wasn’t a slip of the tongue, but because the information was too important, so important that even at the risk of system punishment, Yu Shujun had to tell Wen Nan. Although many keywords in Wen Nan’s received message were still blocked, it was still easy to piece together what Yu Shujun wanted to convey from the remaining information— According to Yu Shujun, when the system prepared his role identity, it required ’the provision of an item most likely to trigger the character’s ** trait’. Here, the character trait apparently refers to the "Yandere" attribute in the instance title. This can be deduced from the critical items Wen Nan has currently gathered from other characters— Initially, Wen Nan thought this "critical item" should be used for cohabitation, like a set of keys or a passcode for an electronic lock. However, after clearly obtaining two items, Wen Nan realized that it wasn’t the case. The "critical item" might indeed be related to cohabitation but was not a necessary element. For an item to be considered a "critical item", the essential element is that it must effectively trigger the corresponding character’s Yandere attribute. When Ru Huan invited Wen Nan for cohabitation, she intended to give him a tracking bracelet, because her Yandere attribute lay in her strong controlling desire as a young stepmother. When she wanted to transfer the control she had over her stepson to her new cohabitant, she gave Wen Nan the tracking bracelet. If Wen Nan accepted the bracelet, it meant accepting Ru Huan’s habit of monitoring and remotely controlling Wen Nan’s activities at all times, due to her Yandere idiosyncrasy. Xiao Fei gave Wen Nan a stop-whistle. Although the whistle’s bottom was indeed engraved with their door lock’s password, it was merely an insignificant element. The reason this whistle could become a critical item was because Xiao Fei’s Yandere attribute lay in her being manic and deeply in love with her brother to the core. Because of this, when Xiao Fei wanted Wen Nan to be her new brother and cohabit with her, she uncontrollably bit Wen Nan. This stop-whistle might be a game or agreement between Xiao Fei and her brother. Accepting it meant being prepared for Xiao Fei’s unpredictable outbursts due to overwhelming love. The brother would have to endure it as much as possible, and if he couldn’t tolerate it anymore, he could use the stop-whistle to briefly stop the sister’s "love". If this point is confirmed, then looking back at the key Yu Shujun gave to Wen Nan, the implicit information is easy to deduce— This rusted key is likely to trigger the latent Yandere attribute deep within Yu Shujun. And when would Yu Shujun go berserk? Wen Nan had witnessed it once during the trial map, when he used that cursed fragment. And Yu Shujun had also confided to Wen Nan during a long talk on the window ledge, that his deepest fear was losing Yu Shoushier in his arms and feeling powerless. So, in Yu Shujun’s previous statement, the information that was blocked was likely all related to the Divine Staff fragments. The items that can plunge Yu Shujun into a state akin to "Yandere" total 3.5, including the 2.5 fragments Yu Shujun carries and this key. The permissions for the 2.5 Divine Staff fragments are too high, and the instance’s built-in task system is not authorized to convert them into the mainline mission’s items, thus leaving Yu Shujun with only this rusted key as the key item he can bring out. And this key, if Wen Nan guessed right, corresponds with a Guardian of a Divine Staff fragment. In other words, Yu Shujun had found this treasure chest key in a previous instance, and the treasure chest corresponding to this key belonged to a certain Fragment Guardian. For some reason, Yu Shujun did not acquire the treasure chest, only obtaining this key. And this key could perfectly integrate into the current instance’s storyline, likely because the owner of that treasure chest is right here. This is the information Yu Shujun was compelled to reveal to Wen Nan, even at the risk of system punishment— There’s a Guardian and the Divine Staff fragment they safeguard likely resides in this map.
