Ranked in the top ten of the grade
Is this world fake?!
Jin Can looked at the three transfer students and found so many things to criticize that she didn't know where to begin.
The morning classes passed peacefully, and at noon Ge Ouchen came over to call her to go to the cafeteria for lunch together.
Unexpectedly—
The retro-styled young lady pushed up her glasses and smiled slightly at Ge Ouchen: "You're new here, aren't you Ge Ouchen? I've traveled through time to help you, please take care of me."
Yuanqi Girl plopped down on her desk, crossed her legs, and grinned smugly: "Hey, school heartthrob, I heard you're pretty good at basketball? How about a match sometime? You definitely can't beat my superpowers!"
As she spoke, she made a shooting motion with her hands.
The artsy girl with no personality didn't say anything, but quietly turned her head, her eyes fixed on Ge Ouchen, making a cute, eccentric sound effect as she stared.
Jin Can: System, Space Administration Bureau... Could she be an alien?
[Correct answer! As you mentioned before! These points are very important, please remember them.]
Jin Can: Your concept is plagiarism of a classic work... Hey, say something!
The system did not respond.
Jin Can was about to get up and gesture for Ge Ouchen to go to the cafeteria together when he was stunned by this three-pronged attack. Coupled with Lin Xiaoxiao's rather dubious expression of disbelief, everyone fell silent instantly, and all eyes turned to Ge Ouchen.
"What is that? It's gone, all golden."
Ge Ouchen looked like he'd run into an idiot, and with his arm around Jin Can's shoulder, they headed towards the cafeteria.
Countless "haha" comments flooded the screen...
[Haha, Ge Ouchen's reaction is totally typical of a straight man!]
[Lin Xiaoxiao: What happened? Why did you leave me out too!]
"What's with those three transfer students? Why are they all staring at you? Are they attracted by your chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) vibe?" Jin Can asked as they walked.
Ge Ouchen raised an eyebrow, lazily leaning his weight on her: "How would I know? Are you jealous?"
"Eat my ass!" Jin Can slapped away the hand that was hooked on his shoulder. "Let me tell you! Ge Ouchen! This is a socialist country, do you understand monogamy? Don't give me some harem anime plot."
Then, Jin Can spread his arms in a sarcastic tone and said, "School! Hottie!"
[Don't you think the female lead is a bit fierce...? I can't stomach this kind of thing! I'm out!]
Jin Can was speechless after being confronted by this comment, and he was practically fuming with anger.
Ge Ouchen was startled by her sudden slap, his expression instantly falling apart. He said aggrievedly, "Yesterday after school, a class from next door came to cause trouble. They wanted to play a basketball game with us, and it caused quite a scene. A lot of boys and girls gathered around."
"I don't know how, but my shooting touch was on fire. I made every three-pointer, and I made seventeen in the whole game, leaving the opponents stunned. This morning, everyone called me 'the best point guard in No. 2 Middle School'."
He added, sounding aggrieved, "I called you yesterday, but you said you were going home to watch the new anime."
Then, changing her tone, she said confidently, "You can't deny that I have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and I'm not ugly."
Jin Can was still angry about that comment, thinking expressionlessly: Who asked you that? I was clearly asking those three strange transfer students!
She suppressed her temper and patiently explained to Dog Brother, "Believe it or not, I really had a dream last night that three women were surrounding you! Today, three transfer students came, and I even awakened the system's infinite flow of bullet comments, although I don't know what this infinite flow scene is yet."
Ge Ouchen burst out laughing: "Wow, Jin Can, with your imagination, you're a shoo-in for the next 'This Light Novel is Amazing' contest!"
"If you really want to put it that way, they're surrounding you, you see, forming a circle around you." He made a gesture by clenching his left fist and circling his right index finger in the air.
Jin Can was about to retort as usual when that comment flashed through his mind again. Seeing the pointing and whispering of his classmates, he swallowed his words and could only line up with Ge Ouchen to get food.
Okay, okay—
The school heartthrob and his "official wife"!
Jin Can felt frustrated and had nowhere to vent his anger. Just as he was feeling down, he looked up and saw Lin Xiaoxiao carrying a tray and leading a trio of transfer students toward them.
"No, you can't leave me behind, Can Can!" Lin Xiaoxiao cried and acted coquettishly.
Between the lines, she felt that she couldn't handle these three strange new classmates on her own.
Jin Can's temper flared up again: "Hey, you guys! There's a limit to flirting! Ge Ouchen needs his own space too, what are you trying to do?"
[Host, you're really tough this time! Monogamy is a core socialist value!]
[Be fierce, be fierce! But when it comes to your own partner, you have to give them a slap and then a treat!]
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head away, trying not to laugh, as if she had bumped into something.
The three transfer students all looked at Jin Can, each with a different expression.
Shi Yanxi adjusted her glasses and smiled, "Jin, you've misunderstood. I'm just new to this time and space, and I need to get to know him a bit. I didn't mean to increase his favorability!"
Chao Ningning raised an eyebrow: "Oh, little kid, you've got quite a temper. But I like it. You've successfully caught my attention."
Zhou Yu finally spoke, his voice low: "Jin Can, the name... is quite unique."
Upon hearing the term "favorability rating," Jin Can blurted out, "Special my foot! You three listen up, Ge Ouchen is under my protection, no one else can have him!"
bite--!
[Host has successfully asserted sovereignty, reward: Empress Aura +50!]
[Haha, I've got your back, that's an amazing statement!]
[Ge Ouchen: I'm just a school heartthrob who wants to eat in peace and quiet, how did I become the female lead's little brother?]
Ge Ouchen finally couldn't hold back any longer, put down his chopsticks, and laughed so hard his shoulders shook.
Jin Can glared at him, thinking: Laugh at you! I was forced into this situation!
After this commotion, the awkwardness between the group lessened considerably, and they unexpectedly became more familiar with each other.
Lin Xiaoxiao said, "You three are so unique! By the way, what's this 'favorability rating'? Why did you all transfer to our class together?"
Jin Can was also very curious, but he saw Zhou Yu eating with her head down, not saying a word.
Chao Ningning quickly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this! Do we have PE today? Chemistry is fine too! Math class in the morning is awful!"
Shi Yanxi glanced at Ge Ouchen, then turned her head to stare at Jin Can, making Jin Can feel uneasy.
"what?"
There are grains of rice on the corner of your mouth.
Upon hearing this, Ge Ouchen immediately reached out and brushed the grain of rice away from Jin Can.
"Shouldn't you eat this grain of rice and then say something that makes your heart flutter?" Jin Can said to Ge Ouchen, letting his imagination run wild.
Upon hearing this, Shi Yanxi immediately placed a grain of rice on the corner of her mouth, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to her.
Ge Ouchen rolled his eyes at Jin Can and said, "You need to memorize vocabulary in English class this afternoon. Study for a while at noon, I'll keep you company."
After finishing his meal, Jin Can dragged his tired body back to the classroom, his mind still replaying the absurd scenes of the day.
She leaned back in her chair, staring at the ceiling, trying to reason with the system:
"System, come out here! What kind of stupid mission is this? Why do I have to be the main wife?"
bite--!
[Host, this system aims to help you experience romantic youth and protect true love! Please continue your efforts; completing tasks will earn you a mysterious reward!]
"True love? Romantic youth?" Jin Can rolled his eyes. "I think you're trying to kill me!"
[Haha, the host's mentality has collapsed!]
[System: I'm just an innocent tool, host, please don't blame me!]
Jin Can felt that fate might have played a cruel joke on him.
Jin Can: System, by the way, what is Infinite Flow? It hasn't been explained yet.
[System: Oh, you have to be in the top ten of your grade in every exam, otherwise you'll be forced to rewind and repeat the story!]
A barrage of question marks appeared in the comments.
Even Jin Can's own inner thoughts were questioned.
How come your "infinite flow" is so simple and ambitious? Is it fake?
And why didn't you say so sooner?
[System: I've already said we're a gentle campus setting, a story disguised as an inspirational campus novel. My original plan was to let the host experience it directly later so they could quickly understand it.]
No, our class has a vocabulary test this afternoon! What am I supposed to do?
How can I get into the top ten in my grade for a vocabulary quiz?
[System: Is it possible for ten students in the entire grade to get all the answers correct?]
Jin Can: That's more than that! Our No. 2 High School is one of the top schools in the city. Um... so, I have to get everything right?
[System: Correct understanding.]
Jin Can gritted his teeth, pulled out his vocabulary book, and began frantically memorizing words, trying to cram at the last minute.
Shi Yanxi saw this and peeked over to ask her, "What are you doing?"
"We'll be memorizing vocabulary this afternoon, and there's a dictation test. Although there aren't many questions, this test has example sentence cloze, letter fill-in-the-blank, and part-of-speech completion sections—the questions are quite varied!"
Seeing this, Ge Ouchen seemed to be sighing with relief that his own little cabbage had finally grown a bit. A slight smile unconsciously appeared on his lips as he exclaimed with satisfaction, "Your Dog Brother's favorability rating has increased! Ta-da!"
He even added old-school pixel game sound effects to his voice, making a silly joke in a serious manner.
Jin Can slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Get out! Here!"
Ge Ouchen didn't care at all, made a "watching you" gesture, and returned to his seat in the last row of the classroom.
[Haha, so tragic! I know what happens when you binge-watch anime at night without studying vocabulary! It suddenly reminds me of my painful high school memories...]
[The male lead is interesting; he's a quirky, darkly humorous teenager who gets more and more addictive the more you watch!]
Shi Yanxi was silent for a moment, then said, "If you memorize vocabulary well, will his favorability towards you increase?"
"Help! My dear lady! Let me carry you for a bit, please? Stop going crazy!"
Shi Yanxi took her stool and moved next to Jin Can, looking at the vocabulary book and said, "Look at this word, fuss. There are other people's 'hair strands' on the bed of the school heartthrob Ge Ouchen. What's the big deal about that?"
After listening, Jin Can only recalled an old saying:
"Knowledge has entered the brain in a sleazy way."
Jin Can looked at her expectantly, hoping that she could really help him quickly master these words.
But Shi Yanxi only whispered, "Ge Ouchen's emotional fluctuations are too intense, causing spacetime distortion, which has attracted the attention of our Spacetime Administration. I have traveled through time to help him."
"Once I improve his favorability and restore his calm, my mission in this time and space will be complete."
"If you go back in time, your favorability rating will be reset to zero, and I'll have to work overtime repeatedly to catch up."
Upon hearing this, Jin Can stared wide-eyed at Shi Yanxi, but Shi Yanxi simply placed her index finger on her lips to signal for silence.
[Holy crap? Is this a hidden big boss character?]
Is this going to be a mind-blowing plot twist? I can't wait!
"What else do you know? The system, the bullet comments... what are all these things in my head?" Jin Can asked her in a low voice.
But Shi Yanxi just smiled and said, "diligent, it's an adjective, meaning diligent, as in tilling the fields."
