June 9th.
The first day after the college entrance exam.
Graduating class 10, Jiangzhou First High School, Teacher Appreciation Banquet.
"Xu Lin, drinks!"
Lei Haolong handed a bottle of Warhorse to Xu Lin.
Xu Lin took a glance.
[A regular energy drink.]
This was the text floating above the Warhorse bottle, visible only to Xu Lin.
Xu Lin, after finishing the college entrance exam yesterday, went to an internet cafe last night and battled until 5:30 in the morning.
Then slept for another hour.
When he woke up, his world had a few extra things.
Cheat skills?
"System?"
[Life Experience Game System at your service!]
[This system's purpose is to let the host experience a colorful life!]
[You are currently in the highly free world OL!]
[Explore the world at your leisure, this system is here to protect your life at all times!]
[Character: Xu Lin]
[Wealth: 1328.24 yuan]
[Reputation: None.]
[Status: None.]
[Skills: None.]
[Items: None.]
[Physical Fitness: Excellent.]
[Overall Evaluation: Except for an outstanding physical fitness and being quite handsome, there's nothing remarkable.]
Xu Lin thought he was merely confused from staying up too late, which was why he was seeing things.
But it was real.
Incredibly real.
"Unbelievable."
"Could it be that my college entrance exam went so poorly that cheat skills arrived?"
Xu Lin's high school grades were not ideal. In his key high school with a 95.6% undergraduate rate, he was toward the bottom of his class. Typically, he would score for a second-tier university, occasionally barely making the first-tier cut.
Of course, Xu Lin knew he was headed for a second-tier, and that seemed beyond doubt.
Take it one step at a time!
Pop!
Xu Lin opened the Warhorse, and on the cap, he saw the words "One Yuan to enjoy again".
[A Warhorse worth six yuan only requires one yuan to redeem; you could profit five yuan.]
Xu Lin quietly put away the cap, planning to redeem it after the banquet.
Gulp...
Xu Lin downed the whole Warhorse bottle in no time.
[You drank a bottle of energy drink, energy +2.]
[Energy (80/100): Energized.]
"Energy +2, doesn't feel any different, does it?"
Xu Lin tried communicating with the system, but the system didn't respond.
"Xu Lin, Yu Xinyan is here!"
At this moment, Lei Haolong nudged Xu Lin's shoulder.
The two of them were crouching in a corner of the hotel's large private room, right under a floor microphone.
When Xu Lin looked in that direction, he saw a tall girl enter.
With an oval face, willow eyebrows, and a slightly distant, cool look, she was stunningly beautiful, exuding a charm akin to a secluded orchid in a valley, making her seemingly unattainable.
Moreover, Yu Xinyan stood at 1.75 meters barefoot, striking and graceful, she stood out a mile ahead, making not only girls feel inferior but also many boys.
And her figure was exceptionally outstanding; no other girl in school could compare with her.
Hence, as she entered, nearly all eyes in the class were on her.
"Xu Lin, it's my first time seeing Yu Xinyan in anything other than school uniforms!"
"Right!"
Xu Lin glanced at her to notice that Yu Xinyan was wearing a short-sleeve top and gray tie-dye jeans, looking vibrant with youth, especially with that exquisite profile, fair swan neck, beautiful collarbones, and overall figure.
The true goddess, nothing more, nothing less.
At this moment, all the boys in the class were watching Yu Xinyan.
In fact, Xu Lin's class had many pretty girls, especially now with the college entrance exam over and complete freedom, girls who usually didn't dress up were giving it their all for the banquet, showing off their natural attractions and looking stunningly radiant.
Making the boys dizzy.
But after Yu Xinyan arrived, all the boys' attention was drawn to this beautiful girl.
Tall, beautiful, good figure, and also a top student.
No one could understand why there was such a perfect girl, nor find the words to describe her.
And when looking at other female top students in the class, it was simply hard to comment, beauty and brains seemed to be an impossible combination, but Yu Xinyan broke this rule.
Since her arrival, she greeted everyone and started looking around.
Finally, she spotted Xu Lin's figure in the corner of the room.
"Xu Lin, Yu Xinyan is looking over!"
Lei Haolong took a deep breath, and he who was crouching only felt his whole body tense instantly.
He thought this squatting position looked ugly, but being stared at, he didn't dare to change his pose, and thus pretended to play on his phone.
Xu Lin, however, didn't care and simply sat on the ground.
Squatting was too tiring.
Yu Xinyan came over.
"Xu Lin, how did you do on the exam?"
Yu Xinyan asked as she approached.
Xu Lin casually replied, "Second-tier university is steady as an old dog, might take a shot at first-tier."
"Xu Lin, at most you hit the first-tier line, but don't kid yourself, even if you hit the first-tier line, the schools you can apply to are really second-tier, plus, how many times have you hit the first-tier line in three years of high school? I remember only three times! This exam was generally more difficult, you might even do worse than your usual grades!"
Zhao Yifei approached.
This guy was the class scholar and class president, second only to Yu Xinyan in grades, and also one of Yu Xinyan's many admirers, yet he was the most well-known.
But because Xu Lin was close to Yu Xinyan, Zhao Yifei always held a grudge against Xu Lin, and seeing him irritated him.
Xu Lin was always aware of this.
Yet Xu Lin wouldn't back down, I just like getting close to your goddess!
"Yifei, remembering so clearly, seems you have deep love for me?"
Not to mention, Xu Lin himself couldn't remember how many times he'd hit the first-tier line.
Looking at Zhao Yifei, Xu Lin saw a line of text above his head.
[A person with malice towards you.]
[Note: Task can be triggered.]
Looking at Yu Xinyan's head.
[An almost perfect girl.]
And Lei Haolong?
[A reserved teenager, likes pretty girls but prefers older women.]
?
Damn, this guy is secretly something!
Xu Lin looked at Zhao Yifei's "can trigger task."
[Can trigger task: Show him what a punk is!]
[Life is about experiences, seek revenge that night, beat him!]
Hmm?
Am I a punk?
[Note: Task duration three days, no failure penalty, successful completion may reward skills, wealth, items, etc.]
Oh!
Interesting!
Zhao Yifei: "Xu Lin, let's not beat around the bush, the exam is over, you're second-tier, I'm first-tier, doesn't that make me better than you?"
Xu Lin looked at him as if he were an idiot, saying, "You're better!"
"Zhao Yifei, life is full of uncertainties, the college entrance exam doesn't determine much!"
Yu Xinyan directly rebutted on behalf of Xu Lin.
"But..."
Zhao Yifei intended to say, for most people, if the exam doesn't go well, the rest of their life remains similar.
But in front of Yu Xinyan, Zhao Yifei faltered.
Yu Xinyan was his goddess!
Ever since the first day of high school, after seeing Yu Xinyan, she mesmerized his life.
"Yanyan, you're still the best with me!"
Xu Lin straightforwardly stood up, came in front of Yu Xinyan, and boldly grabbed her hand.
"Wow! Xu Lin, impressive!"
Lei Haolong felt the urge to give a thumbs up in amazement.
Lei Haolong knew his longtime deskmate of three years was always bold, but hadn't expected this much boldness.
The homeroom teacher was still present!
Seeing this, Zhao Yifei turned visibly green.
[Zhao Yifei's hostility towards you +1.]
[Zhao Yifei's current resentment: 1/100.]
[Zhao Yifei's Malice towards you: +6.]
[Zhao Yifei's Malice towards you: +3.]
[Current Zhao Yifei's Malice towards you: 11/100 (Task completed if malice reaches 100)]
