System and transfer students
Jin Can suspected that aliens had abducted her in her sleep and remodeled her.
When I woke up, I not only had a "Main Empress System" but also a bunch of comments floating around in my head, saying things like "The Infinite Flow Campus Dungeon is now open."
Last night, she secretly ate instant noodles while watching the new anime, complaining that the male lead was a "walking hormone emitter".
She dreamt of her childhood friend "Dog Brother" Ge Ouchen, and there were three beautiful girls surrounding him and pulling at him!
One is a rich young lady type, another is an energetic type, and behind them is a emotionless type, holding a book, expressionless, with the tips of her ears bright red...
It's like a harem anime!
In a daze, she muttered that the script was so cliché!
After all, the popular themes now are system cheat codes, bullet comments, infinite flow, and pay homage to King B!
He clearly didn't sleep well that night.
Is this God's punishment for her, a second-year student at a top-tier high school in the city, for not studying hard enough?
The absurd thing is that once they got to school, Jin Can, his childhood friend "Dog Brother," inexplicably became a popular figure at school—
Commonly known as the school heartthrob!
"Huh? No way? Am I the school heartthrob's girlfriend? Why? Why? Am I still half asleep?" Jin Can sat on her desk, holding a half-eaten jianbing guozi in her hand, staring at Ge Ouchen, who was surrounded by boys and girls in the corridor, her mind a complete mess.
bite--!
[System: The Empress System has been activated! Host Jin Can, your mission is to protect your position as Empress and defend against all external threats! Please take immediate action!]
"The Empress System? What is that? Launching an operation... is it trying to make me go up there and assert my dominance? It's a romance novel trope that was popular ten years ago, so corny..." Jin Can calmly took a bite of his jianbing guozi.
[Haha, host's reaction is amazing! Another unlucky soul hit by the system!]
[The surrounding NPCs are practically mesmerized by the school heartthrob's scent! The female lead is still munching on a jianbing (Chinese crepe)... Is that really the female lead? Her hair looks like grass from a bushy area.]
[A main wife system? Is this setting the stage for a harem war? Isn't this a male-oriented genre? Why is it in a female-oriented genre?]
Jin Can stared at the barrage of comments flooding his mind, so angry he wanted to drag the system out and beat it up.
"Who says girls have to have long, flowing hair? I look cool with this short hair!"
"Where's my cheat system? It's quite adept at stirring up trouble!"
"Besides, who gave you permission to spam the comments? My brain capacity as a high school student is already insufficient. Can't you just give me the answers to the exam?!"
Before she could even process this bizarre premise, her deskmate and best friend, Lin Xiaoxiao, rushed over, as excited as if she'd won the lottery: "Cancan! Did you hear about your dog brother's amazing feat yesterday?"
Jin Can rolled his eyes: "Uh, you didn't tell me. Why are you so excited?"
What did Dog Bro do this time?
She grew up with Dog Brother and was used to his crazy antics.
"Dog Bro is a god of basketball! He completely crushed the class next door!"
"But there's something else. Three incredibly beautiful transfer students joined our class today! Three of them! I saw them in the office! They're all top-tier looks. Right now, Dog Bro is really in the spotlight, so you'd better watch out for your own position!"
Jin Can had a look on his face that said, "What are you talking about in your sleep?"
Three transfer students arrived just two weeks after the Lantern Festival?
Isn't that too dense?
It's like a dream she had. Is this either part of a plot or a sudden, unexpected event?
She and her brother lived close by and were in the same class at the same school. They progressed through the school years, and even the high school entrance exam didn't separate them. As a result, their parents knew each other well.
Dog Bro is a man of few words, and occasionally a bit eccentric and eccentric. A few weeks ago, while he was still on winter break, he suddenly "confessed" to himself.
This is what he said:
I'm a clumsy man who only knows how to fight, so all I can say is: I...you...you...I like you! I need you...!
By the end, his face and ear tips were flushed with embarrassment, and his voice grew softer and softer.
Awesome!
That was Jin Can's only reaction when he heard that "confession".
Jin Can thinks he must secretly watch a lot of anime at home... So how does he maintain his first place in grades every time?
However, he didn't say anything more after that, and Jin Can didn't take it to heart. Life went on uneventfully... until today!
"Be careful, they might all be interested in your Ge Ouchen!" Lin Xiaoxiao said.
"What? You're interested in my family... ugh! In Ge Ouchen?" Jin Can almost choked on the last bite of his jianbing guozi and quickly drank some water to clear his throat.
"What is all this nonsense? First of all, why would she suddenly become interested in Brother Dog? Secondly, do you even know the core socialist values? We practice monogamy, okay?!"
bite--!
As soon as she finished speaking, the system in her mind started acting up again:
[Three threat targets detected approaching! Host, please immediately enter combat mode and defend your position as the Empress!]
Three pinned comments floated into my mind:
[Target 1: Zhou Yu, Affiliation: Space Administration Bureau, Threat Level: ★★★★☆]
[Target 2: Chao Ningning, Affiliation: Superpower Management Bureau, Threat Level: ★★★★]
[Target 3: Shi Yanxi, Affiliation: Time and Space Administration Bureau, Threat Level: ★★★☆]
So there's a science communicator in these comments?
Jin Can inwardly felt like he was about to vomit blood again: "I'm already a sophomore in high school, stop with the chuunibyou stuff!! Affiliation? Combat status? Threat level? What's with the high and low star ratings? When did Ge Ouchen become so sought after?"
[Haha, the host is finally getting restless!]
[Ge Ouchen: I just wanted to be a quiet campus heartthrob, how did I become such a hot commodity?]
Look at those three transfer students! They're absolutely incredible! In every sense of the word!
Jin Can was so angry that he wanted to turn off the barrage of comments in his mind, but the system didn't provide any instructions at all.
Just then, the school bell rang, and everyone returned to their seats.
Jin Can also got off the desk, grabbed his schoolbag, took out his textbooks and pencil case, and sat down obediently in his seat.
She, Jin Can, is a principled modern woman who would never get involved in any palace intrigue dramas!
Feudalism! The dregs of society!
Ge Ouchen was surrounded by a group of classmates as he returned to his seat. As he passed Jin Can's seat, he gave her his signature "wicked" smile.
This smile, which Jin Can affectionately called "the king's disdain" since childhood.
...Actually, Jin Can knew that he was just a little stiff in expression and not very good at smiling.
Watching his departing figure, Jin Can wondered to himself if the guy had grown a little taller again.
He's about 1.85 meters tall now, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He wears his school uniform shirt like a custom-made suit, and even the sunlight seems to favor him, suddenly giving him a golden glow.
He consistently ranked first in his class and especially loved playing basketball...
What?!
It really does seem to have the template character design of a male lead from an old idol drama!
Jin Can felt a real sense of unease, but he still muttered something aloud:
"Tsk, what a cool act."
But suddenly a comment popped into my head:
[The host is jealous! Is this what the main wife's jealousy is like?]
bite--!
[Warning! Host, please be mindful of your behavior! Repeat offenses will be punished!]
This message is from the system.
"The reward hasn't even started yet! Has the punishment already begun?" Jin Can almost slammed his fist on the table and stood up, but he was afraid of this unknown "punishment" and finally gave up.
Just then, the homeroom teacher, Ms. Yang, walked into the classroom with three girls with very different personalities. Jin Can turned around and saw that the students around her had already started to discuss it quietly.
The first girl wore a retro vest with a swallowtail over her school uniform shirt, dressed in a school uniform dress that was rarely worn except on special occasions, with gold-rimmed glasses, flowing long hair, and an elegant gait. She had the air of a young lady who had stepped out of a period drama.
"Hello everyone, I'm Shi Yanxi. If you ask me for a favor, I'd be happy to be your friend!"
The second girl wore a black T-shirt, a school uniform shirt tied around her waist, a jacket draped over her shoulders, slightly messy hair, and a roguish smile. She walked with a confident stride, blowing kisses to everyone, immediately sparking a buzz of discussion.
"I am Chao Ningning! I am going to be someone who stands at the top of the world! Remember me!"
The third girl was completely different. She had a neat bob haircut, wore a simple white school uniform shirt, had a cool and aloof demeanor, and a hint of melancholy in her eyes. She held an English copy of "A Brief History of Time" in her hand and carried a bag-like backpack, looking like she had stepped out of an art film.
She looked up and said only two words: "Zhou Yu".
The three of them do look like female protagonists from a manga, but there are just too many flaws to criticize!
First of all, they're dressed like that... Why didn't the head of student affairs come after these three?!
Teacher Yang! Please don't have that "I'm just a working person, it's better to avoid trouble" look on your face, okay?
These three people have clearly been corrupted by something; they're totally delusional!
However, that's the advantage of being a young teacher; as long as you don't go too far, they'll turn a blind eye to everything.
Otherwise, given his "relationship" with Ge Ouchen, his parents would be called in within two days!
Jin Can stared at the three people, his mind flooded with the system's messages again:
[Mission issued! Host, please take immediate action to prevent them from contacting Ge Ouchen!]
[Oh my god, isn't this the most classic energetic type, emotionless type, and rich girl type?]
[The main heroine's character isn't very prominent... Look at that hairstyle, tomboyish?]
[Everyone, start placing your bets now!]
[Host, hurry up! The dignity of the main wife cannot be lost! I'm investing in my childhood sweetheart; childhood sweethearts are the ultimate power! Childhood sweethearts are the way to go!]
Jin Can was so angry she gritted her teeth: "What character design, what 'official wife'?! Let whoever wants to fight for it fight for it!"
"You can sit at the empty tables in the last row for now. We'll rearrange the seating according to your height at lunchtime," Teacher Yang instructed.
[System: Host, please take immediate action to prevent them from contacting Ge Ouchen!]
The system is calling!
The homeroom teacher glanced at the last row: "Only Ge Ouchen is left. None of you three have prepared your teaching materials yet, have you?"
[System: Host, please take immediate action to prevent them from contacting Ge Ouchen!]
Okay! I got it!
Frustrated by the system, Jin Can pretended to raise his hand and said loudly, "Teacher, there's still time to rearrange the seats. There's still some time before morning exercises, so it's convenient for everyone to adjust their seats!"
The homeroom teacher probably thought this made sense, so she directed everyone to make adjustments.
As a result, Zhou Yu, who was a nobody, sat in front of her, Chao Ningning, who was energetic, sat at the next table across the aisle, and Shi Yanxi, the proud young lady, sat behind her. Together with Lin Xiaoxiao, the four of them played Go and turned her into a dead piece in the middle.
She felt that her future campus life would be incredibly noisy.
[System: Mission complete! Reward: Stamina +10!]
Jin Can suddenly felt as if his lack of sleep had been restored, much like the jolt he felt after accidentally spilling coffee on his book – it was truly amazing!
She tapped the system: Are you perhaps a real system? Is this a beginner's tutorial?
[Correct understanding! Host, we're set in a school environment, so the overall atmosphere is rather gentle. Please be aware of this. The purpose of this system is to correct the awful, clichéd harem anime tropes. Such youthful romance stories shouldn't exist in a socialist context!]
Jin Can rolled his eyes: "You're quite nosy... Creations are all fake. Sometimes I even find it quite amusing when I look at these works myself."
[However, to the host, the world you inhabit is definitely not fake. Please keep up the good work!]
Jin Can fell silent, because the system was right, even undeniably so.
Although she didn't do well in school, had a bad temper, and was impulsive, she always felt that she was a lucky and happy person. She was healthy and had parents who loved her very much, and she got along well with her teachers and classmates.
Dog Brother also "listens to his every word," which in female-oriented novels can be called "pampering" for now!
“Every ordinary day we live is a series of miracles.”
She absolutely refused to believe that this kind of life was all fake!
