After making his prediction, Han Feng smirked coldly.
"I heard you got Xiaoxiao's dress dirty today?" Zhou Zihao grabbed Han Feng by the collar, spraying cologne mixed with his bad breath in my face. "Do you know how expensive that dress is? A poor wretch like you couldn't afford it even if you worked for a year!"
Han Feng deliberately feigned a panicked expression: "I...I didn't mean to..."
"Not on purpose?" Zhou Zihao slammed Han Feng against the wall again. "Xiaoxiao has been crying all afternoon!"
Han Feng glanced at his watch secretly—according to his memories from his previous life, the school principal would come to check for smoking in the restrooms at this time every day. Two minutes left.
"Zhou Zihao," Han Feng suddenly lowered his voice, "Do you know why Mu Xiaoxiao always sends you to cause me trouble?"
Zhou Zihao was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
"Because she didn't dare let anyone know," Han Feng paused deliberately, "Last Friday after school, I saw her with Zhang, the student council president, in the equipment room..."
"Bullshit!" Zhou Zihao's forehead veins bulged, and his fist was already raised. Han Feng silently counted down—three, two, one...
The toilet door was suddenly pushed open.
"What are you doing!" School principal Wang Tiejun's roar froze everyone in place. His bald, shiny head popped in first, followed by his signature beer belly. "Zhou Zihao! It's you again!"
Zhou Zihao's fist hovered in mid-air, his expression incredibly interesting. Han Feng immediately shrank back, feigning fear: "Director Wang, help! They said they're going to 'wash my face'..."
Director Wang's face instantly turned ashen. He strode over and happened to see Zhou Zihao's follower carrying a plastic bag full of water.
Ding: Option complete! Reward: Zhou Zihao receives a demerit.
Ding! Ability unlocked: Combat Mastery
Ding: Host experience points +20, current experience points 60/100
"Everyone! Come with me to the Academic Affairs Office!" Director Wang grabbed Zhou Zihao by the ear and dragged him out. "Your punishment for fighting last time hasn't expired yet, and you're bullying a classmate again?"
Han Feng followed behind with his head down, glancing at his phone when no one was looking. On the screen was a text message he had anonymously sent to Director Wang ten minutes earlier—"There are people smoking and fighting on the third floor of the men's restroom."
As Han Feng rounded the corner of the stairs, he caught a glimpse of Mu Xiaoxiao hiding behind the fire escape door. She was staring intently at him, her lipstick-covered lips pressed into a thin line. Han Feng smiled slightly at her and mouthed, "Is the pearl drink good?"
Her expression instantly twisted.
As Han Feng stepped out of the school gate, the setting sun shone brightly. He took a deep breath, feeling the power surging within him. This was just the beginning. Zhou Zihao, Mu Xiaoxiao, we have plenty of time to play around.

Tomorrow's Event: Math Quiz
"Related Person: Mu Xiaoxiao (Cheating Contingency Plan Activated)"
Han Feng smiled and slung his schoolbag over his shoulder. On his way home, he casually bought a lottery ticket—the numbers were the winning numbers from the same draw in his previous life. Now that he'd been given a second chance at life, he wanted to live it to the fullest.
At 11 p.m., Han Feng's phone suddenly started vibrating incessantly. Half-asleep, he grabbed his phone; the screen showed "99+" unread messages in the class group chat. At the top was a long message from Mu Xiaoxiao sent three hours earlier:
"Fellow students, I hesitated for a long time but finally decided to speak out... Han Feng has been harassing me since the first year of high school, and it's gotten increasingly outrageous lately [crying emoji]. Today after school, he actually... he actually tried to forcibly kiss me in the equipment room! I have a recording as proof..."
The message included an audio file. Han Feng clicked to play it, and a muffled conversation could be heard:
"Xiaoxiao...I've liked you for a long time..."
"Don't do this... let go of me..."
Just one kiss...
Han Feng sat bolt upright in bed, cold sweat beading on his forehead. The recording was clearly edited and composited—the first half was from when he confessed his feelings to her last year, and the second half wasn't him at all!
The group chat has exploded:
"That's disgusting!"
"He usually acts so honest, I never expected him to be this kind of person."
"I suggest reporting this to the school!"
"@Han Feng, aren't you going to come out and explain?"
The latest message was posted by class monitor Zhang Ming: "@Han Feng, please reply if you see this, this is very serious."
Han Feng scrolled down and saw that Mu Xiaoxiao had posted another screenshot ten minutes ago—a fake chat log between herself and Mu Xiaoxiao, in which "Han Feng" had sent a bunch of explicit messages.
"The system has detected a deliberate attempt to frame someone."
"Options are being generated..."
A familiar blue light screen appeared before my eyes:
Option 1: Endure in silence (no reward)
[Option 2] Explain privately (Reward: +10 trust level with some classmates)
[Option 3] Release the recording of her privately insulting classmates (requires the "Recording Evidence" reward skill: Weakness Insight).
Han Feng stared at the third option, a cold smile playing on his lips. In his past life, at this time, he was indeed unable to defend himself and was forced to transfer schools. But now...
"System, retrieve the recording of Mu Xiaoxiao in the women's restroom last Thursday."
"Retrieving audio evidence..."
"Consume 1 prediction point to obtain the complete audio file"
An audio file immediately appeared on the phone. Mu Xiaoxiao's sharp, sarcastic voice could be clearly heard in it:
"That Li Wen from Class 3 is as ugly as a pig, does she even deserve to compete with me in the recitation competition?"
"Zhang Ming is just a simp. Does he think I'd be interested in him just because he's the class monitor?"
"I copied Han Feng's test paper for this monthly exam, and that idiot actually believed I did it myself, haha..."
The recording ends with a conversation between her and Li Ting:
"Once I get rid of Han Feng, no one will know we cheated."
Perfect.
Han Feng didn't respond immediately in the group chat. Instead, he sent Zhang Ming a private message: "Class monitor, can you add me to the teachers' group? I have important evidence."
Ten minutes later, Han Feng was added to a grade-level group chat that included the homeroom teacher and subject teachers. Mu Xiaoxiao clearly noticed and immediately tagged me in the class group chat: "Are you afraid to face your classmates after doing something wrong?"
Han Feng calmly uploaded the recording to the grade group chat, adding the message: "This is the complete truth regarding Mu Xiaoxiao's false accusations. The recording involves multiple disciplinary violations, including verbally abusing classmates and cheating on exams. Please investigate."
Then I went back to the class group and posted a short statement:
1. The audio recording was edited and fabricated.
2. The so-called chat history is photoshopped.
3. The truth is in the grade-level group.
Han Feng logged off after posting. No further explanation needed; let things play out.
The next morning, Han Feng's phone froze as soon as he turned it on. Over 99 private messages had flooded the class group chat.
"Oh my god, I never expected Mu Xiaoxiao to be this kind of person."
"Those words were so vicious."
"We misunderstood Han Feng."
"@Mu Xiaoxiao, come out and explain!"
The most hilarious post was from Li Wen: "@Mu Xiaoxiao, so you think I'm a pig? Who spoke ill of me to the judges during the recitation competition?"
When Han Feng stepped into the classroom, the previously noisy room instantly fell silent. All eyes were on him, but no longer with the disdain of yesterday; instead, they held complex gazes mixed with guilt and curiosity.
Mu Xiaoxiao's seat was empty.
"She took leave." Zhang Ming walked over, scratching his head awkwardly. "Um... Han Feng, I'm sorry, we shouldn't have only listened to one side of the story..."
Han Feng waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care, and his gaze swept across the classroom. Li Wen nodded to Han Feng with red eyes; several boys who had once mocked her lowered their heads and pretended to read; while Li Ting huddled in a corner, her face pale.
Ding: Option complete! Reward: Weakness Insight
The moment their new abilities were activated, different colored markers appeared above everyone's heads. Zhang Ming's was "Yearning for Recognition," Li Wen's was "Inferiority Complex," and Li Ting's was "Fear of Being Implicated"...
During the first break, the homeroom teacher called Han Feng to the office. When he pushed open the door, he saw the principal and the dean of students were there, while Mu Xiaoxiao and her father sat to the side, their faces ashen.
"Han Feng," the principal said sternly, "regarding this matter..."
"Critical decision point detected"
"New options are being generated..."
Han Feng looked at the three new options provided by the system, his gaze lingering on the gold option that required consuming all prediction points.
The game has only just begun.
