Do I have the answer on my face?!
"I've had quite a lot of classes lately..."
"Yes, there are a lot."
...
On the way to 8 a.m. with Gu Ye, Lin Yehuan racked his brains for topics, as if under some kind of spell, and could only say a few sentences about each topic.
The information on the data panel remained unchanged.
Lin Yehuan was stunned by Lu Xingzhi's responsive yet monotonous replies. He had been overwhelmed by the sudden surge in data yesterday, and now he only regretted that Lu Xingzhi was a blockhead.
A soft yawn came from the back seat. Xu Pengpeng was lounging in the back row, forcing one eye open to watch the two wooden figures interact.
[Helping the male protagonist regain his mastery of the art of language is also an important task!]
Take control again... but please don't reset it to factory settings!
What a mess! Testing for the sake of testing, torturing for the sake of torturing, what is all this?!
Lin Yehuan leaned against the car window, looking resentfully at the wooden figure beside her who was resting with his eyes closed. Thankfully, this face was perfect from the start; otherwise, she would have lost all desire to accept any missions.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xingzhi noticed the gaze and suddenly opened his eyes to meet her gaze.
Lin Yehuan's breath caught in his throat as he was stared at by the man's slightly dazed gaze. A long list of descriptions of handsome men flashed through his mind: bright and handsome, with clear eyes and delicate eyebrows, dashing and debonair...
If she had to describe her current feelings, her gaze would be... like that of a nearsighted person who hasn't woken up yet.
Lin Yehuan was disgusted by his own bizarre thought process that had suddenly taken place. He didn't reply, adjusted his seat, woke Xu Pengpeng up, and they got off the bus and headed straight to the classroom.
"Oh no, we forgot our books!" The three of them realized at the same time as they arrived at the classroom just in time that they were missing something, and sat in the first row scratching their heads in frustration.
The biochemistry professor was a notorious tyrant. It is said that a brave person once stared blankly in front of him for half a minute and was asked to leave the classroom, and then failed the course for two consecutive semesters.
Lin Yehuan had a bad feeling that his life was in danger today.
[A new item exchange function has been launched in the system. You can purchase various equipment by paying the corresponding amount~ Come and check it out!]
Is it a timely help or something that has been planned for a long time?
Lin Yehuan had no time to worry about that; he opened the toolbar to search.
The system tirelessly pops up various newly added functions and reward/punishment systems.
A semester has passed, and the system's reward system hasn't changed much, but the punishment mechanism has increased dramatically. Failing any course will leave your IQ score stuck at that level, with no chance of recovery.
Well, I guess I have no choice but to buy it now.
Lin Yehuan's heart bled as he paid. Three books cost him fifteen IQ points! What kind of game is this?! Aren't they all exchanged for gold coins?! Can't you give me a discount?!
[This feature is not yet available. Please stay tuned.]
Lin Yehuan could tell whether he was foolish for a moment or foolish for a lifetime.
In order not to fail the course, you have to jump into the pit that has been dug for you.
The system was quite considerate; it included a memory-clearing function with the purchase of the book, so no one questioned why she had pulled a nine-and-a-half-pound book out of the pocket of her shirt, which she had only ever used to hold ear picks since childhood. It even thoughtfully filled in the notes according to the handwriting of the three people.
"What's missing?" Lin Yehuan glanced at the carbon pen, wondering what kind of operation this was, offering free carbon pens and health points as a bonus.
Although the system certainly didn't have good intentions, adding some health points wouldn't hurt. Just to be on the safe side, Lin Yehuan only took three and didn't dare to take any more.
Lin Yehuan meticulously followed the tyrant's pace in taking notes, afraid of being noticed.
"So... why does a lack of vitamin B1 lead to lactic acidosis..." The tyrant, sporting his thick-rimmed glasses, launched into a classroom tour.
Lin Yehuan lowered her head even further, her head already bowed. It wasn't that she didn't want to listen; it was just that her IQ was too low—the knowledge wouldn't stick in her brain.
But... wouldn't that make him seem too guilty? Lin Yehuan thought of the fate of being asked questions whenever he was afraid of them since he was a child, so he slowly straightened his back and pretended to be able to answer questions to lower the probability.
"You."
Lin Yehuan slowly rose from his seat, trying to buy himself a few more seconds to find the answer.
"Don't look at the book, describe it in your own words." The teacher placed her perfectly round belly, which was completely covered by her shirt, on the first row of desks, perfectly blocking her view. She leaned forward slightly, and Lin Yehuan felt as if all the air was being stolen from her, leaving her feeling suffocated.
Actually, reading the book was useless, Lin Yehuan knew perfectly well that only those who could thoroughly understand the first two chapters could answer the questions.
Obviously, she wouldn't know. Secondly, the two people next to her would. Thirdly, this Teacher Cheng is known for her keen eyesight and sharp ears; the answer probably wouldn't even reach her ears before the people around her were already defeated.
Lu Xingzhi's hand, which was rapidly writing cheat sheets, was forced to stop. He looked up, blinking his big, bright eyes, trying to communicate with her through brainwaves.
It's unbearable to look at; I can't look up or down.
Perhaps fainting now would be an excellent choice.
Great, my health level is too high. Even though I didn't eat breakfast, I can't trigger the hypoglycemia trick. I can't escape death at all.
So... it's still a damn trap?! Indeed, in the face of absolute wickedness, all clever tricks are just self-inflicted wounds.
This system is so stupid! It costs 70 IQ points for each answer. If I actually buy it, I won't even be able to tell my hands and feet apart!
"..." Lin Yehuan didn't dare to delay any longer, and looked up at him in despair, "Because... pyruvate metabolism is blocked?"
The tyrannical teacher Cheng had never seen a student dare to look him in the eye before. He turned around, went up to the podium, and said, "Why are you looking at me? Do I have the answer on my face? Sit down."
Yes, there really is.
Lin Yehuan was seeing this for the first time. He was prepared for the worst, but when he looked up, the dense reflection of the answers in the man's glasses was astounding!
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully survived the Tyrant's Class. Stress resistance +15]
[Every 10 points of stress resistance can be exchanged for 1 point of perfection.]
Lin Yehuan was so angry at the system that she laughed. The tyrant glared at her. The two people next to her looked at her with the kind of concern one would show to a vulnerable person, as if afraid she had been scared out of her wits.
The chaotic class passed by in a daze. Under Teacher Cheng's "scrutiny," Lin Yehuan chatted idly with two other people, trying to leave the classroom without being too deliberate.
"Kobayashi."
Lin Yehuan was startled by the address and turned around properly to listen to what he was saying.
"I see you're doing well in your studies. Are you interested in this area? Your teacher would like to welcome you to join our research group."
Teacher Cheng pushed up his glasses, revealing a rare, relatively kind expression. Years of teaching experience told him that anyone who dared to look him in the eye must be a top student.
A top student who can understand his sense of humor is even rarer.
If she hadn't been so terrified that her whole body went numb, Xu Pengpeng would definitely have taken out her phone to record the tyrant's current "appearance." It's said that the last time he showed this expression was when he failed 60% of the students in one go.
The plot is going wrong. They've been so focused on finding tasks for themselves that they've forgotten the male lead is the one who needs to level up the most. Lin Yehuan's brain started racing.
According to the system records, Lu Xingzhi had contacted him multiple times, expressing his desire to work in this direction, but had been turned away each time. Today is a good opportunity.
“Teacher, I’m already in another teacher’s research group.” Lin Yehuan took two steps back to make way for Lu Xingzhi. “He’s smarter than me, and much more studious. Why don’t you…”
"What's the use of being smart?" The tyrant's expression changed instantly. He put away the teaching aids, left behind a harsh remark, and went straight away.
Damn it! Can't you speak properly?! You know that daring to criticize anyone will lead to serious problems?!
Lin Yehuan's mind was about to explode as he stared at the system loading screen and Lu Xingzhi's stunned expression.
[Male protagonist unlocks rage value, character perfection +5]
Great, there's an unexpected bonus.
[The male lead's self-esteem is severely damaged, and his character perfection level is reduced by 10.]
What? !
If the system had a physical form, Lin Yehuan would definitely use her well-trained and powerful fists to repeatedly pound it 9966 times, turning it into a hand-beaten mechanical pill.
Lin Yehuan wanted to say something but then shut his mouth. Given the system's behavior, feeding him motivational platitudes would be useless. He should save his energy and think about which side quest might be helpful.
"Why is your teacher always acting like he's on fire?" Gu Ye suddenly appeared out of nowhere and seamlessly joined their conversation.
"You didn't know, did you? It has a nickname: tert-butyllithium." Xu Pengpeng raised an eyebrow and began her professional explanation. "It's a continuous self-igniting compound that explodes with the slightest breath."
The group laughed so hard they were doubled over, completely forgetting that they had a meeting scheduled for the next class.
"Pengpeng?" Shao Xi and Li Zheng appeared at a very inopportune moment, interrupting the cheerful atmosphere. "Don't you have a meeting at ten o'clock? This is..."
Lin Yehuan turned on the screen and glanced at the time. There were still three minutes left. Forget about the sweet nothings and goodbyes, the three of them left the other three behind and headed straight for the seventh floor. They were panting heavily and didn't forget to complain: Why do we have to climb so high to have a class meeting!
The three people who arrived at the meeting room on time again were forced to become the counselor's protectors, and listened to more than two hours of repetitive talk while trying to stay alert.
"Alright, then I won't take up any more of your time. Everyone, go about your business."
What should I do? I wish someone could tell me what to do.
Lin Yehuan grabbed the table with his head, unsure of which task to choose next.
[Your paper has been accepted. Congratulations on completing your personal growth profile and unlocking the title "A Genius Who Emerged from Nowhere"]
The genius raised his head again.
[Personal perfection +10. Based on your stat settings, the male protagonist receives a corresponding buff, perfection +20.]
See? This lousy system tortures geniuses like this all day long.
[To celebrate your successful completion of the academic settings, this system has matched you with the most suitable task at present.]
"Ye Huan, there's an honorary alumni donation ceremony tomorrow."
"Would you like to come? I'll save you a seat."
"It seems to be related to some kind of titanium-based group, and he's supposedly a super handsome guy."
"There are a huge number of people who have signed up."
"Oh right, the newly built Xingming Building was donated by him."
Lin Yehuan's vision blurred, then went completely black. Xingminglou, wasn't this like stabbing the male lead in the heart?!
If the male lead is so angry that he's heartbroken and his face is contorted, and then there's some kind of hatred or jealousy value, then the perfection score is very likely to drop to a negative value. A negative value means that she can say goodbye to her graduation certificate for good.
"Is this also under the jurisdiction of your publicity department?"
"Wow, save me a good spot."
When death is imminent, one might as well take a few more glances at handsome men; at least that will be a worthwhile death.
[The "Brothers United" mission has been issued. Please check your inbox. The mission objective is to prevent the male protagonist from clashing with his older brother and to ease the tension between them.]
[This task is closely related to your future career development. If you make a mistake, it will be considered a complete failure of the assessment, and you will lose your qualification to graduate.]
"Save me two good seats."
"no problem!"
Lin Yehuan immediately went to check the reports about Lu Xingming. In short, apart from the saying "There's no one better than your mother in the world," every positive adjective could be used to describe him.
I wonder what Lu Xingzhi's feelings are.
Lu Xingzhi found it very strange and stood in the gymnasium looking at the other five people, asking the fundamental question: "Nobody told me we came here to play volleyball."
“Hey, that’s normal,” said the “heavyweight” on the far left in a dialect. “I’m on the football team, so we got pulled in too.”
“We play basketball,” the three people next to me said in unison, “We’re all playing with balls, so it should be about the same.”
Lu Xingzhi said that he only knows how to play badminton.
All eyes were on Shao Xi, who had organized the gathering.
"Actually... all I can do is juggle the ball." Shao Xi looked at the several pairs of eyes that were surprised and a little angry, but had no fighting spirit, and continued, "But they insisted on competing, and I really couldn't find anyone else, so we can't just admit defeat."
After losing three games in a row, Lu Xingzhi felt that there was nothing wrong with just admitting defeat. However, he couldn't say that. Although he gained nothing, he was exhausted.
Just kidding, for the first time in his life, he made four friends in such a short period of time, which was enough for him.
[Changes in the male lead's character relationships have been detected and updated accordingly.]
[The male lead's interpersonal relationships become more complex, his character design becomes more perfect by 20, and his backstory becomes more complete by 15]
"It's not even dawn yet, how can I be daydreaming?" Lin Yehuan, who had just drifted off to sleep, jumped out of bed. "Holy crap, it's actually true!"
