《(OLD)Play On! My Lovely Goddess!》 Chapter 1: Li Rou A flabby middle-aged woman waddled into the kitchen on the hunt for food. Her name was Chen Li Rou. With a creak, the cupboard door was pulled open as a hand reached in, fumbling around in search for a packet of instant noodles. Sloppily dressed loose-fitting clothing, Li Rou tore open the packaging and submerged the instant noodles in boiling water. The noodles soon softened under the sweltering heat and startedbecoming incredibly chewy, indicating that they were almost cooked. With Li Rou¡¯s seasoned hands, she tore open the packets of seasoning and preserved garnishing with ease before emptying the contents into the boiling water. Li Rou¡¯s actions were smooth and swift without a single wasted movement, it was as though she had done it a thousand times already. As the seasoning gradually dissolved, its fragrant aroma wafted into the air, stirring up Li Rou¡¯s ravenous appetite. Although Li Rou had eaten the same packet of noodles numerous times before, she could not resist drooling after taking a whiff of its fragrance. Without a moment too soon, the noodles were perfectly cooked and ready to be eaten. Li Rou transferred the noodles into a bowl with one fluid stroke. She then carried the bowl of noodles to the dining table. As Li Rou ate her noodles, she took out her Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and opened up a job searching application. In the past week, she had submitted 20 applications to various jobs from different industrial fields. However, despite having the graduated from one of the most distinguished and prestigious universities in China, a plethora of companies were unwilling to hire someone like Li Rou as she had been jobless for a long period of time. To multinational corporations, an able-bodied adult being jobless over a long duration raised many red flags and highlights the possibility of the applicant not being suitable for hire. Resultantly, all of Li Rou job applications came back rejected by the companies with vague reasons such as ¡°You¡¯re not what the company is looking for.¡± Several companies brutally rejected her by saying, ¡°We¡¯re looking for efficient workers who are capable of working in a team instead not fat whales. Furthermore, when we dialed up your previous job, the manager had little comments to say about you.¡± From the rejection letters Li Rou had received, she concluded that her past working experience had reflected poorly on her. Furthermore, she could not use her ¡®looks¡¯ to get connections with higher-ups to get a decent job. Li Rou¡¯s life was in the dumps. Even Now, she was leeching off her mother by eating her food, lived under her roof, all without paying rent. As a result, Li Rou¡¯s mother despite being in her silver years had to continue working overseas to support her own daughter. After Li Rou polished up the last drop of soup in the bowl, she contently patted her belly and decided to take a shower to refresh herself.Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel. It has been ages since she had last bathed, her body reeked of malodor and matted with dirt that stubbornly clung to her skin. When Li Rou was grabbing a change of clothes, she came to a brutal realization that the laundry basket was full as she had not done the laundry in a long time. Without any fresh clothes left, Li Rou reluctantly decided to sleep butt-naked. Li Rou stripped herself naked and stepped into the shower. While in the shower, Li Rou cupped her nonexistent boobies to check for growth. Li Rou was immediately disappointed, for her chest was as barren as the Sahara Desert. In hopes of growing bigger tits, Li Rou had spent her time every night massaging them, gone to temples in hopes of growing larger breasts. Li Rou had even gone to the point of testing out massage techniques and methods online. It was one of her darkest secrets that she swore to take with her to the grave. Li Rou was immensely envious of busty women. From her time in university up till now, she had her past 13 boyfriends seduced away by women with considerable busts. With the exclusion of food delivery men, it has been close to 5 years since she¡¯s had any real interaction with the opposite sex. After the shower, Li Rouwent to turn in for the night. With a yawn, she turned off the lights and flung herself on the bed. *ding* Li Rou¡¯s phone chimed. She whipped her phone out to check the message that just came in, ¡°Hello, I am a deposed Nigerian Prince. [Sad emoji] You are my only living relative. Please share your bank information, so I can send you money.¡± Li Rou deleted the junk mail without a moment¡¯s hesitation. ¡°I might as well play ¡®Goddess¡¯s World Online¡¯ since the phone is already in my hand.¡± Li Rou sighed as she tapped on the app. Goddess¡¯s World Online is an MMORPG mobile game, players could freely customize their characters'' appearances. But the main attraction of the game was the relationship system involved with the game¡¯s NPC. Relationships had to be maintained otherwise they would gradually degrade over time, just like in real life. Ultimately, by devoting countless hours of her life and splurging her savings, Li Rou was the highest ranked player of the server. Li Rou¡¯s character was drop-dead gorgeous, armed with a busty rank and a diverse collection of outfits, it was voted by the online community to be the sexiest character ever created in the game in a yearly contest. A title that Li Rou held for 5 years. Furthermore, in the game¡¯s online forums, she was given the title of ¡®Pioneer of the Goddess¡¯s World¡¯. Every time new updates and expansions were added to the game, she would be first to obtain a perfect clear. Once she had fully cleared the content, she would release guides and walkthroughs on the site¡¯s forum. While most players have had tried to guess who she was in real life, expecting her to be a gorgeous beauty to even a disgusting perverted old man that was a ¡®solo player¡¯. Li Rou attempted to set up a gay marriage between two of the hottest male characters in the game. However, it would require a great deal of points which could only be obtained an arduous process known as ¡®grinding¡¯. While grinding for points, Li Rou¡¯s eyelids eventually started drooping and mumbled, ¡°If only I could be like my character in the game.¡± as she soon drifted off to sleep with her phone in her hand. . *boom* Li Rou forcefully jolted awake from the sound of the explosion. Her Samsung Galaxy Note 7 had burst into flames from overheating and rays of dazzling bright lines shined from its screen. ¡°F*ck Samsung phones!¡± Li Rou shrieked andthrew her phone on the floor, smashing it to pieces. Despite having been smashed apart, Li Rou''s broken phone screen continued to emit its dazzling brilliance which soon consumed Li Rou¡¯s surroundings and rendered her unconscious. Chapter 2: A New Beginning Sunlight crept through the curtains. Li Rou basked in its warm glow as she lay sprawled on her bed. Birds could be heard chirping from outside. Her phone had its own side of the bed and was in perfect condition even after ¡®exploding¡¯ last night, furthermore, it had even undergone a drastic change which Li Rou would be mortified to learn of when she wakes up. *ding*
New World Loaded
Li Rou¡¯s eyes fluttered as she struggled to wake up from hearing the chime. ¡°I wish we could stay like this forever, I don¡¯t ever want to leave your embrace my darling bed.¡± Li Rou mumbled incoherently into the pillow and tried to return to sleep as the text box faded. *ding dong* *ding dong* The doorbell repeatedly rang. Li Roureluctantly woke up, separating herself from the loving embrace of her bed. Li Rou shivered as she groggily dragged herself to the door while in a daze, grumbling about the weather being unusually chilly and the house having a different layout than before. With a murderous look in her eyes, the image of a raging demon could be seen behind Li Rou as she laboriously swung open the door. Standing outside, was a delivery man, ¡°I¡¯m fromBing Gan delivery! Please sign right here to receive the package!¡± Having several years of working experience under his belt, the Bing Gan delivery man blankly stared at the ground as he handed Li Rou the delivery receipt along with a pen and narrated the same line he was forced to say when completing a delivery. "I have never heard of Bing Gan delivery services, and he dresses up like a FedEx delivery man." Li Rou thought to herself and shrugged off that thought and quickly signed the receipt so she could go back to sleep. While receiving the signature, the delivery man looked up toconfirm that Li Rou had signed the receipt. However, what he saw was the dreams and desires of mortal men. There were two tiny, perky peaks accompanied by an enticing valley below! After burning the sight into his retinas, the Bing Gan delivery man quickly handed the hefty package to Li Rou with a dazzling smile, ¡°This lowly virgin is grateful for your great kindness ma¡¯am!¡± and ran as fast as his legs could carry him. Li Rou was left confused by the words the delivery man left her closed the door as she carried the package inside and dumped it on a table. The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, Li Rou¡¯s mind finally started functioning properly. ¡°F*ck! The delivery man saw me naked!¡± Li Rou¡¯s face flushed with shame as her eyes madly darted around the room, looking for any piece of clothing to salvage whatever dignity she had left. ¡°Where the f*ck am I?¡± It finally dawned on Li Rou that the reason why the floor layout was different earlier, it was because she was not at her own home! It was instead the dormitory she occupied in the past! While putting on a set of clothes, Li Rou felt that she was skinnier than usual, the excess flaps of fat from her excessive consumption of instant noodles was missing. While deep in thought, Li Rou mindlessly went to the bathroom to freshen up. When she peered at her own reflection in the mirror, however, she was astonished by her appearance! Her skin glowed with a youthful vigor, her hair was luscious and silky smooth. Most of the blemishes such as scars from popped pimples were no longer there! Li Rou¡¯s appearance had reverted back to when she was in her early twenties! She was not particularly attractive. But neither was she unattractive. To sum up, she was plain with an average appearance. No wonder the delivery man did not retch in disgust after looking at Li Rou¡¯s body. When Li Rou was ordering food deliveries, the couriers would always gag after taking a glance at Li Rou. Li Rou¡¯s attention returned to the package she had just received from delivery. It was sent to her by her parents. As she tore open the package, she found lesson materials within for Humanities and Social Sciences. Specifically, English. Li Rou finally pieced the clues together, the reason why she had received the lesson materials and was in her old dormitory, was because she had been sent back in time! Sprinting to the bedroom, Li Rou frantically swiped her phone off the bed to check today¡¯s date. However, to her dismay, the phone she was holding in her hand was no longer a touchscreen Samsung Galaxy Note 7. It was instead a Nokia 3310 with a horrifying pixelized display. Or rather, it was a phone that looked like a Nokia 3310, but the brand Nokia which was just above the awful 84 ¡Á 48 pixels pure monochrome display had been changed to Mokia. Furthermore, according to the date, as stated on the phone, she had almost gone back 20 years! That was close to the time where Li Rou had started attending university! Li Rou hurriedly entered the phone¡¯s menu screen in fear that her game¡¯s save data was missing. However, it wasn¡¯t just the savefile''s data that was just missing. The entire application was missing! She could not reinstall it because the game hadn¡¯t even been released yet! Li Rou let out a cry of disgruntlement, she was so close to establishing a gay relationship in the game. Furthermore, her in-game character with majestic 2D boobs and extensively customized pixels were lost. Dejectedly, Li Rou quickly glanced over the applications inside the Nokia phone. There, she found an unusual application named ¡®Lottery¡¯. After pressing enter with the Mokia¡¯s top right button, a slot machine appeared on the Mokia¡¯scrappy screen. As Li Rou looked through the list possible rewards, skeptical of the ridiculously named items and their unbelievable effects.While Li Rou continued going down the list of possible rewards, a specific item caught her eye! Chapter 3: Lottery (1) In the kitchen, Li Rou had beaten two eggs in a bowl and was about to fry an omelette. The frying pan was screeching hot as Li Rou had left it heated on the stove for quite some time. This was because she hadpreviously beenchecking the store on her mobile phone. As sheemptied the contents of the bowl into the frying pan, the egg mixture sizzled as steam was emitted. She then generously seasoned the omelette with elegant shards of pepper and a hefty sprinkling of salt. Curiously, every grain of salt appeared larger than normal. But Li Rou who was deeply engrossed in her phone, didnot payany attention to her own actions. Li Rou was currently checking the remaining unexplored content left in the application, the lottery.
Basic Bitches'' Lottery
5,000 P per spin.
Description: For skanks that can¡¯t afford a better lottery tier and live off welfare checks andtheir parents.
Effect: Unknown.
The lottery wheel was seperated into fifteen fractions. One of which was dazzinglyglamourous and made of gold, two were silver and five were bronze. The remaining few except for one, were all white. The last fractionhad multiple fractures and cracks on its surface and gave off a baleful aura when observed carefully. Li Rou had a wealth of knowledge regarding mobile game gachapon and chance games. Afterall, she had splurged majority ofher entire life savings to get every male NPC in [Goddess¡¯s World] wearing a topless outfit. Based off past experiences, shewas certain the colours on the wheel pertained to the rarity of the reward obtained from the lottery wheel. Where thegold fraction obviously held the most valuable prize. "This lottery is amazingly crass." Li Rou felt deeply offended. As the system stated, she was indeed leeching off her parents. This was not something she was particularly proud of. On the contrary, she simply brushed off the comment about her living off welfare checks. Despite having had her imaginary self-esteem and confidence shattered, Li Rou decidedto attempt the lottery. Reason being, her desired item costsat least a hundred times more than she had on hand. In addition, slowly scrimping and savingpoints which she had no clue how to obtain was an absurd idea. Li Rouhad no clue how long it would possibly take to reach her goal. Moreover, a lottery with unknown reward aroused her interest. She was easily captivated and had impulsively decided to try it out. Li Rouwas armedwith basic mathematics that she had mastered over the course of primary education. With her trusty calculator in hermobile phone, Li Rou expended her blood, sweat and tears as she diligently calculated the probability of obtaining the golden reward. It was one in fifteen. The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. It took her quite some time to arrive at that answer despite her best efforts. ... Li Rou hesitantly pressed the gigantic ¡®Spin¡¯ button on her phone. The lottery wherl started spinning, round andround the wheel goes¡­ Justas it was about to land on the gold reward, the wheel suddenly gained momentumand landed on the white space beside it. "This wheel is f*cking rigged!" Li Rou gasped in disbelief. The lottery wheel had not discreetly prevented her from winning the most valuable prize. It had F*CKING shifted itself just as it was about to landon gold! Didthe wheel really think that shewould not notice? Even an idiot could tell it was rigged. Li Rou let out a sigh of disappointment as she hit the receive button on her phone. A holographic inventory screen suddenly popped out from nowhere. Within it, she saw a tiny vial inside as she proceededto interact with the screento obtain more information. Nothing happened.
Tip: Instead of trying to grab empty air, just think about what you want to do.
Ignoring the system¡¯s snide comment, Li Rou followed the advice given and mentally willed more details of the item to appear.
Hair Growth Serum
Rarity: Garbage
Effect: Causes hair to grow.
Description: Are you bald? Or is your hair too short? Well with this Hair Growth Serum, sprout a new head of hair within seconds! Drink to use.
[APPEAR]
"Appear?" Instantly, a tiny vial appeared in her hand and the Serum was no longer in the inventory screen. Li Rou, stunned by what had just transpired, had almost dropped the vial. Had the vial fall out of her hands, her heart would bleed as it had cost her 5,000 P. It was halfof what she had started with. She attempted to storethe vial to her inventory, but there was no feedbackfrom the system. She was unable to put anything back into her inventory. "This stupid f*cking system." Li Rou murmured in a low voice as she placed the vial in a cup to prevent it from falling over. She then placed the cup holding the vial on the kitchen counter. As a whiff of smoke finally brought Li Rou¡¯s attention back to the frying pan, black smoke was being emitted from the omelette. Li Rou hastily flipped the omelette over. However, it was already too late as the omelette was already burnt on that side. Regardless, she decided to eat the burnt omeletteas she could easily scrape the burnt bits off. Although, the true reason was that she would be f*cking slaughtered by her parents if she wasted food while living like a leech. After scraping the burnt bits away, she quickly took a bite. An overwhelming sweetness filled her mouth. She had accidentally used sugar instead of salt. "No wonder the salt grains appeared larger than normal." Li Rou decisively spat out the partially chewed omelette. By this moment, she had to make a toughdecision. To eat horrendously cooked food, or get slaughtered by her parents. ... As Li Rou left the kitchen, the remains of an omelette could be seen the the dustbin. She had chosen the latter. Chapter 4: Lottery (2) Li Rou sat on a sofa as she deliberated whether she should try the lottery once more. "I only have one more try left, and I still have no clue how to get more points. I guess I¡¯ll go ahead and spin the wheel since there¡¯s nothing else I can do with the points anyway." She pressed the ¡®Spin¡¯ button on her phone and expectantly waited for her prize. As the wheel gradually slowed down, Li Rou cast a fixated gaze on it. She was observing the wheel¡¯s every movement, in case it pulled a fast one on her again. The wheel finally slowed to a complete stop. It had landed on a silver fraction. Low resolution, pixelized 2D confetti came bursting out. Showering the screen with badly coloured rectangular blocks that obstructed Li Rou¡¯s view, thus preventing her from successfully pressing the ¡®receive¡¯ button despite numerous attempts. "Even when you win, this system is still as infuriating as before." Li Rou was visibly agitated by the constant pestering from the system as she waited for the confetti to disappear before receiving the reward.
Talent Imbuing Tablet (Singing)
Rarity: Rare Garbage
Effect: Improves your ability to sing.
Description: For worthless bums that have no natural talent! The Talent Imbuing Tablets are guaranteed to improve one of your many skills, thus making you slightly less worthless.
Caution: Not Swallowing the tablet with water may cause asphyxiation. We take no responsibility for your death. Batteries not included.
"Surprisingly, it¡¯s a decent reward. But to still call it garbage..." Li Rou immediately summoned the tablet and attempted to swallow it without hesitation. Unfortunately, despite having had read the ''blatantly obvious'' warning displayed by the system, Li Rou did not swallow the tablet with the help of water. Li Rou started wheezing and gasping for breath. She hurried back into the kitchen and filled a cup that was conveniently placed on the kitchen counter with water. Li Rou quickly threw her head back and chugged down the water, swallowing the tablet with it. "Ah, f*ck me. That was dangerous." Li Rou heaved a sigh of relief as she caught her breath. "Huh?"Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. Li Rou¡¯s disheveled black hair had suddenly started growing longer at a considerable speed. Her fringe had grown to the point where it had covered her face. Even her previously waist-length hair was now in contact with the floor as it continued to grow. "I swallowed the Serum!." Li Rou finally realized that the cup on the kitchen counter was the cup she had put the vial of Hair Growth Serum in. She had definitely panicked and f*cked up. There goes her 5,000 P. Time passed by as Li Rou¡¯s hair''s growth gradually slowed down and came to a stop. Not before carpeting the entire kitchen floor with her hair though. Li Rou grabbed a pair of scissors from a kitchen drawer and braced herself for the amount of cleaning up she had to do. Firstly, Li Rou quickly shortened her hair to a more manageable length; she had cut her hair till it reached her knees. She now looked like Sadako from the movie: ¡®The Ring¡¯. At least no one could see her hideous face now. Li Rou then tucked her the hair covering her face behind her ears. With this, she could finally see without her fringe obstructing her view. Now she was prepared to dispose of every strand of hair she had cut. ¡­ The kitchen was spotless, there was not a single speck of dust or strand of hair to be seen everywhere. Li Rou stood back and admired her handiwork. Although it was her handiwork that caused trouble for her in the first place. If only she had heeded the warning. However, the damage was already done. Li Rou could not vomit or spit out the vial or its contents. The tiny vial would eventually be passed out of the digestive system. Li Rou went to the living room and sat on the sofa and turned on the television, taking a well deserved break. "In today news, China begins its preparations for the 2008 Olympics that is to be held in Beijing later this year on August. Moving on, the number of intellectually deficient people, also known as retards, in the world continue to increase..." "2008?" Li Rou was taken aback at what year it currently was. As she sat on the sofa pondering, she had finally connected the dots. It was possible that it was not just her appearance that had changed, her age could have changed as well! The system might have sent her back in time to just when she was starting university! This idea was able to completely explain why there were lesson materials delivered to her home. Although, it also implies that throughout the years, her breasts had not grown even a millimeter despite massaging them for so long. While Li Rou was deep in thought as she considered the possibility of that theory, the door to her home opened. It was Li Rou¡¯s mother. Li Rou¡¯s mother briskly dumped bags of groceries on the kitchen counter as she eyed the Fapdex package on the table. "I see the lesson materials have been delivered, you¡¯ll be going to university starting tomorrow. My little girl¡¯s all grown up! After university, you¡¯ll get a good job and buy a house then a car, get married and of course, you¡¯ll support me and your father by giving us money!" Li Rou¡¯s mother was extremely cheery and upbeat as she beamed. She had great expectations for her daughter¡¯s future. Li Rou¡¯s theory was proven correct. She had indeed, gone back in time. However, Li Rou¡¯s only thoughts at that moment were, "Ah. Sh*t." Chapter 5: Returning to University "How did your hair get so long by the way?" Li Rou¡¯s mother threw a concerned gaze towards Li Rou. She was afraid that Li Rou¡¯s ridiculously long hair would get caught on objects. Furthermore, she was certain that Li Rou¡¯s hair had never grown long enough to cover her face. "It has always been this long! I have no clue what you¡¯re talking about." Li Rou quickly responded as she averted her eyes from her mother¡¯s gaze. "Mhmm. whatever, you¡¯re at that age I guess." Li Rou¡¯s mother shrugged her shoulders and started walking towards the kitchen to properly store the groceries. "Just make sure you go to Tsinghua University tomorrow morning! And don¡¯t be late!" Li Rou¡¯s mother gave a last reminder as she focused on putting the groceries aside. Li Rou gave a slight nod and remained seated as she assessed her current situation. She truly had been given a second chance by the system. Having had lived through her university life once, Li Rou was definitely going to make the most out of the chance she was given. "This system is divine!" Li Rou gratefully praised the system in her mind as she stopped ruminating her previous university life.
Tip: Kissing the system¡¯s ass does not grant you any points. Please try another method.
"Well f*ck you too." Li Rou''s had decided to be hostile towards the system''s words from now on. The system was chock-full of venemous words everytime it gave her a tip. Li Rou carefully considered the system¡¯s advice. She definitely needed a way to obtain points to get the [Breast Enhancement Milk]. But up till now, nothing she did gave her points. Li Rou went to her own room and turned on her laptop. She logged into weiboto post her status.
Going to Tsinghua University tomorrow so excited! (????)
Li Rou¡¯s post on weibo barely received any likes. It did however, blow up with comments from her previous classmates from senior high.Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.
Congratulations! I¡¯m so jealous!
You still don''t have any breasts. ( ?¡ã ?? ?¡ã) You''re closer to a man than a woman.
Even an ugly whore can be enrolled to Tsinghua, their standards sure have dropped.¡¥\_(¥Ä)_/¡¥
F*ck off you f*cking ugly bitch. Kill yourself.
Ding~! Li Rou received a notification on her phone. The number of points she had to spend had increased! Though it was an extremely insignificant amount, Li Rou had finally discovered a way to increase the number of points she had! The more popular she was the more points she¡¯d get! However, Li Rou¡¯s happiness was short lived. The more comments she read, the more depressed she got. She decided she had enough internet for the day and turned off her laptop. ... The next day, Li Rou quickly ate breakfast and left for Tsinghua university. Carrying the required lesson materials with her in a bag. Tsinghua University is one of China¡¯s most prestigious and influential universities. It''s every student¡¯s dream to study there. Naturally, such a prestigious school would have extremely strict requirements for admitting students. Unbelievably, Li Rou had truly gotten accepted by Tsinghua in the past. However, university could be said to be when Li Rou¡¯s troubles began. She used to be a top student which everyone had great expectations of. But as the difficulty of school increased, she lost her motivation as time went on. Apart from academic concerns , Li Rou also had socializing problems. Once, Li Rou had a crush on the class¡¯s pretty boy. When her other classmates noticed that, a group of fangirls formed by girls all over the campus began to ostracize her. They cussed and threatened Li Rou in an attempt to force Li Rou to distance herself from her crush. To top it all off, Li Rou¡¯s crush had insulted her flat chest and called her ugly and disgusting openly during class. One could say that Li Rou¡¯s fragile heart was crushed by her crush. As a result of that interaction happening in public, the bullying intensified as it was an ¡®okay¡¯ sign from the idol that every girl in the class revered. Ultimately, withLi Rou¡¯s grade falling below Tsinghua¡¯s minimum requirements she was expelled. In addition, the constant bullying she had received over the course of her university studies, drove her to the point of depression. ... In school, Li Rou sat in the cafeteria as she waited for the student orientation to start. While waiting, she took out of all of the lesson materials from her bag and briefly flipped through them. As she went through the materials, Li Rou recalled most of the content she had gone through during lessons. From lectures to tests and exams, Li Rou already had a basic grasp of the concepts. This time, she was definitely going to ace all the exams while barely putting in any effort. Chapter 6: The Universitys Flower Boy It was almost time for the student orientation programme to begin. Li Rou packed her things, got up from her seat and started walking towards the designated location, the indoor sports hall. ¡°Look! That girl looks similar to Sadako from the movie ¡®The Ring¡¯!¡± Many people would whisper and throw odd looks at Li Rou wherever she went. It was expected of course, Li Rou kept her hair covering her face. People were naturally curious about her facial features. As she walked there, she noticed that there was a commotion going on. A large group of girls were clustered in an area as they surrounded a single male. ¡°He looked at me!¡± ¡°Wow! He¡¯s so handsome!¡± ¡°I¡¯m so lucky to be here with him!¡± ¡°Give me your autograph!¡± ¡°Take a picture with me!¡± In the center of the group, Li Rou saw a familiar face. It was Wang Cheng Yu, the exact same flower boy from her time in university. Cheng Yu was a part-time model. He had attractive looks that made women from all ages swoon for him. With the salary he obtained from his part-time job, he was able to afford numerous branded goods. Cheng Yu was the ideal male that every female wanted as a boyfriend. He was cool, stylish and wealthy. But from Li Rou¡¯s past experience, Cheng Yu was the scummiest piece of sh*t she ever knew. Cheng Yu was a casanova. After ¡®doing the deed¡¯ with one girl, he quickly moved on to another. He manipulated his fan club to clean up after him by having his fans chase away his ex-girlfriends away whenever they tried to confront him. Li Rou immediately turned around and walked in the opposite direction to avoid this living piece of sh*t. Li Rou¡¯s silhouette disappeared into the distance as she walked away from the commotion and towards the gathering area for the student orientation programme.Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. However, Cheng Yu had already noticed her. He was greatly intrigued by her hairstyle and her desire to hide her face. A strange glint shimmered in his eyes as he watched Li Rou walk away. With his curiosity stirred by Li Rou¡¯s ridiculous hairstyle and hidden face, Li Rou had unknowingly become his next target. ¡­ In the indoor sports hall, the student orientation programme had begun. The event coordinators had everyone seated on the floor. ¡°For starters, find a partner and make friends with each other. We don¡¯t really care.¡± The group of programme coordinators proceeded to find an area to sit and study by themselves. University was a non-stop race after all, a single moment of downtime could put a student way behind. Li Rou sighed and started to get up. From the start, she had already anticipated this d*ck move by the programme coordinators. After all, she had already gone through university once. Instead, she was planning to find a co-curricular activity to join. ¡°Hey there I¡¯m Wang Cheng Yu. What¡¯s your name?¡± Cheng Yu suddenly appeared in front of Li Rou and introduced himself with a smile plastered on his face. Cheng Yu¡¯s actions brought a lot of attention towards Li Rou. The girls on campus were jealous that Cheng Yu had willingly struck up a conversation with Li Rou. They were interested in what Cheng Yu had to say to Sadako from ¡®The Ring¡¯. ¡°Li Li. I¡¯m busy. Goodbye¡± Li Rou gave Cheng Yu a false name before turning around to leave in an attempt to extract herself from the situation. ¡°What do you say we hang out sometime?¡± Cheng Yu spoke loudly to Li Rou who had started to leave. With Cheng Yu¡¯s actions, Li Rou had suddenly garnered a lot of hate from the girls without doing anything. The girls were all green with envy as Cheng Yu had expressed his interest in Li Rou. ¡°As sly and sinister as he f*cking ever was.¡± Li Rou solemnly thought to herself. Without stopping to reply to Cheng Yu, Li Rou continued to walk away as she left the indoor sports hall. ... Word soon spread across the campus. The school¡¯s flower boy was greatly interested in a mysterious girl whose face was still not known. Furthermore, the girl did not care about Cheng Yu¡¯s advances. Li Rou set her phone to silent as she constantly received notifications from the mass of points she had gained. She starting heading towards the faculty building with clubrooms. Li Rou had decided to take a look at the club roomsbefore selecting a club she intended to join. Chapter 7: Singing Talent As Li Rou approached the faculty building, she heard musical instruments being played from a distance. There was even music from a saxophone performing a solo of ¡®A Careless Whisper¡¯. Li Hou hummed to the rhythm of the smooth jazz while she toured the clubrooms. So far, none of the clubs suited Li Rou¡¯s interests. ¡°Look, it¡¯s her.¡± ¡°She thinks she can still join a club after what happened?.¡± Whenever Li Rou passed by students, these were the type of comments people would say behind her back. However, Li Rou paid no heed to the rabble. It was clear to Li Rou that Cheng Yu¡¯s actions had caused other students on campus to ostracize her. She had little hope of being accepted into a club for now. Instead, her initial objective of joining a club had changed. Li Rou wanted to build up reputation for points to make her breasts larger. In order for her to do that, she had to be first had to be known for something. Afterwards, she had to grasp every opportunity the system gave her. This meant utilizing the singing talent she had obtained. She continued to merrily strolled around the building, looking for a place to practice her singing. ... Eventually, Li Rou reached the highest floor. There was a desolate classroom with cobwebs hanging on the door frame. ¡°This place is perfect.¡± Li Rou looked around as she entered the room. There was a dusty piano in a corner and the sound insulation foam that covered the walls were already falling off. Li Rou closed the door behind her and starting singing ¡®You Exist in my Song¡¯ sang by Wanting. Li Rou could easily recall the lyrics having had replayed the song numerous times back when it was released. However, Li Rou was reverted back in time. As a result, most of the songs she fondly remembered were not even composed yet. If people heard her singing, they would assume she was the one who had composed it.You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. ¡°You have to still be happy, so that I know I¡¯m not dreaming¡­¡± Considering that Li Rou had barely any talent in singing, her singing was equivalent to the deafening screeching of a banshee despite having had swallowed the Talent Imbuing Talent. It appeared the system had scammed her once again. Li Rou finally understood why the system had labelled the tablets as ¡®Rare Garbage¡¯. While it was true that her singing ability had improved compared to before, there was a long way to go. She needed to consume more Talent Imbuing Tablets before being able to sing beautifully. Despite knowing that she did not gain a significant amount of singing talent, Li Rou believed she could make up for her lack of talent with practice and continued to practice her singing. The Talent Imbuing Tablet had planted a tiny seed of hope in her. ... Her horrible singing ability in combination with the sad lyrics from the song, caused every verse to sound dreadful and full of lament. The chorus was just a series of deafening screeches that threathened to bleed your ears. People who heard Li Rou¡¯s ¡®singing¡¯ in the vicinity were initially curious about the source of the singing. When they found that the singing had come from the desolate classroom on the top floor, their curiosity started to waver. Most of them had decided to call it quits and left, this is because that classroom was where a girl had committed suicide after getting cheated on. The remaining group of people stood at the corridor and watched the classroom from around the corner. They were afraid of there really being a ghost and thus did not dare to openly confront the entity in the classroom. Two hours later, Li Rou decided she had practiced enough. She conveniently took the fire escape staircase as it was closer to her than the elevator lobby. As a result, the group of observers did not see Li Rou leave the classroom. ¡°The singing stopped!¡± ¡°Is the ghost gone?¡± ¡°Hurry up and check!¡± The group of people barged into the classroom only to find no one. They were perplexed ... The next day in school, rumors of a wailing ghost started spreading in the school. ¡°I heard the ghost was crying that she had died unfairly!¡± ¡°The ghost is a vengeful spirit! Stay away from that classroom!.¡± ¡°Yesterday when I went up to check, the singing suddenly stopped! Furthermore, when I entered the room, there was no one inside at all!¡± Li Rou¡¯s phone silently vibrated as the rumors continued to spread throughout the school. Li Rou remained oblivious to the entire situation and continued to return to the desolate classroom after lectures to practice singing. Although she had occasionally seen offerings for the dead placed outside the classroom, she did not think too much about it. She was completely unaware that the ghost in the rumors people were talking about, was her! Chapter 8: Behold! The Garbage Facial Mask [NSFW chapter alert.] As the Sunday finally came, Li Rou sat alone in the living room. She whipped out her phone and opened up the system¡¯s shop on her screen. She currently had over 60,000 P from Cheng Yu¡¯s actions and the ghost rumors from her first few days in school. Li Rou immediately committed all the points she had gained into the lottery. From the wheel, Li Rou still had gotten 0 gold rewards. But she had gotten multiple rewards from the silver and bronze fractions. [5x Hair Growth Serum] [3x Talent Imbuing Tablets(Singing)] [4x Garbage Facial Masks]
Garbage Facial Mask
Rarity: Uncommon Garbage
Effect: Increases user¡¯s beauty.
Description: Made from garbage picked up from the street, this mask is made from the distilled garbage. This is to infuse the user with beauty from the garbage we picked! Apply this on your face for only ten to twenty minutes to make yourself look better!
It appeared that there was a limited prize pool for the current lottery tier. As all the rewards from the white fractions were Hair Growth Serums and rewards from any of the silver fractions were the singing tablets. ¡°But why is it the facial mask even made from garbage in the first place¡­?¡±
Tip: Lottery rewards reflect your worth as an individual. If you¡¯re using low-quality items, it''s because you don¡¯t deserve better.
Ignoring the system¡¯s snide comment, Li Rou immediately decided to use up all the Garbage Facial Masks she had in her inventory. As she waited for the facial masks to take effect, Li Rou pondered over the system¡¯s tip. Although the system was a horrible piece of shit, its tip always held some sort of truth in them. Li Rou needed to increase the quality of the lottery to get better grade rewards due to the fixed prize pool. There was only so much use for Hair Growth Serum other than giving it to bald old men so that they could grow luscious locks that drove other women crazy. Li Rou sighed as she concluded her thoughts. She then lied down on the sofa and started to practice her singing. Her neighbors specially came over and politely asked her to stop.The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. ¡­ Li Rou took off the last facial mask and looked at her reflection in the mirror. The changes were very apparent. Most of the blemishes on Li Rou¡¯s face were gone, her skin was bouncy and rehydrated. Even the mole had truly become a beauty mark. Applying distilled garbage on her face had done wonders to her appearance. However, there was still some structural flaws which could not be fixed such as her eyes, nose and even the shape of her face. Regardless, Li Rou now looked close to the average Chinese student. Albeit, she looked rather plain with her lack of fashion sense. Greatly satisfied with the effects of the facial mask, Li Rou pushed her long hair to the side of her face and took a selfie. She then turned on her laptop and entered Weibo to update her status. It was one of her schemes to get more points. ... ¡°Hey Cheng Yu, have you heard? There¡¯s a ghost wailing in school every time after our lectures! We should check it out sometimes! You have nothing much to do since you didn¡¯t join a club right?¡± ¡°Hmm? Nothing to do? I¡¯m a part-time model, have you forgotten?¡± ¡°Of course not, but all you do in your spare time is f*ck around with women! Let¡¯s go do something fun!¡± ¡°You¡¯re the same as always Zhao Rong. Fine, we¡¯ll go and take a look when I¡¯m free.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a promise! You better show up you motherf*ck--¡± Cheng Yu hung up on the call and rubbed his temples as he laid back. Zhao Rong was one of his friends who also worked in the same model agency he went to. Zhao Rong¡¯s hobby was photography. The modeling agency saw his works and offered a generous sum to hire his services. The two often saw each other during their part-time jobs. Zhao Rong was one of Cheng Yu¡¯s friend that he actually acknowledged but his outgoing and flippant attitude drove Cheng Yu up the wall with his ridiculous requests. ¡°Hey take it all in for me won¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Mmmpf!¡± Cheng Yu roughly thrust his hips back and forth into a petite girl¡¯s mouth, causing her to gag violently without giving her a chance to rest or recover. Cheng Yu was on his regularly scheduled ¡®date¡¯ this weekend. This time, he was in a KTV lounge with another female student that was smitten with him. They were but mere toys to him and he could summon as many as he wanted. They were both undressed and their clothing was strewn all over the room. Right now, Cheng Yu was leaning back against the sofa and the girl was kneeling on the floor trying to pleasure Cheng Yu. ¡°Suck me harder.¡± The sloppy and lascivious sounds became louder, Cheng Yu enjoyed the warmth of the girl¡¯s mouth and the sensation of the girl¡¯s tongue wrapped around him as the let the petite girl work on his member by herself. ¡°I¡¯m cumming soon! Take it all!¡± As the girl started to suck his member harder, the waves of pleasure started to build up pushing Cheng Yu to the edge of climax. Unable to endure it anymore, Cheng Yu soon released his load in her mouth while forcefully holding her head in place. Holding back the urge to gag, the girl made a bitter face. With her head locked in place by Cheng Yu''s hands, she was forced to swallow his load down. Cheng Yu quickly got dressed as the girl tried to wash away the taste of the putrid bile in her mouth with water. ¡°Hey, I¡¯m going to the toilet to clean up. I¡¯ll be right back to continue.¡± Cheng Yu shone a dazzling smile to the naked girl who was recovering as he exited the room. However, instead of heading to the toilet, he turned towards the exit. As Cheng Yu left the KTV Lounge, he blocked the petite girl¡¯s phone number. ¡°She was alright, but I¡¯ve had better. I¡¯ll take up Zhao Rong¡¯s offer to find the ghost tomorrow I guess.¡± Chapter 9: Its You? The next day, Cheng Yu left the lecture theatre as the lesson ended. He startedwalking towards the school¡¯s cafeteria and messaged Zhao Rong to meet him there so that they could investigate the rumors. ¡°Look it¡¯s Cheng Yu!¡± ¡°Cheng Yu! Can you sign this for me!¡± ¡°Cheng Yu can you take a picture with me?¡± While walking towards the cafeteria, countless fans recognized him and swarmed around him as they demanded for Cheng Yu''s autograph and picture. Cheng Yu obliged with the requests from numerous girls, as he had about an hour before Zhao Rong was released from class. ¡­ ¡°What the f*ck?¡± When Zhao Rong arrived at their designated meeting location, he saw a long line of girls queuing up to take a photograph together with Cheng Yu. ¡°Haha, as popular as ever you f*cking nut.¡± ¡°You¡¯re finally here. I waited so long that it became an autograph signing session.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t f*cking message me and expect me to arrive in one minute you dumbass. Hahaha! Forget it though. Since we¡¯re both here now, let¡¯s go.¡± Cheng Yu and Zhao Rong headed for the classroom in the rumors, leaving an entire line of disappointed fans behind. ¡°Aww, I didn¡¯t get an autograph from him.¡± ¡°At least we saw Cheng Yu¡¯s face for a full hour!¡± ¡­ In the gloomy classroom, Li Rou held a bottle in her hand and the three talent imbuing tablets in her other hand. She then swallowed all three tablets in a single gulp.Stolen story; please report. She then prepared to test how effective the tablets were by singing once again. As she sang, a soft and melodious voice rang out. Li Rou was stunned in disbelief. ¡°Is this really my voice?¡± The effect of the tablets had been magnified from eating all three tablets at once! Li Rou was shocked by the huge qualitative leap in improvement in her singing! Her voice was not theear-piercing wail that threatened to make others ears bleed anymore. It now carried a soothing and mesmerizing effect while being pleasant on the ears. Furthermore, all the daily practice she had been doing and fused with the magnified effects of the tablets. Li Rou was even able to hit extremely high pitched notes as she continued to sing. ¡­ ¡°Hey, do you hear that? Are you sure that¡¯s a ghost?¡± ¡°Nope! Let¡¯s take a look at who it is!¡± Cheng Yu and Zhao Rong heard Li Rou¡¯s singing as they approached the classroom. Cheng Yu was immediately captivated and quickened his pace, eager to find out who the singer was. As the duo burst through the classroom door to see who the singer was, Cheng Yu was immediately taken aback. ¡°It''s you?¡± Cheng Yu was flabbergasted that the person who was singing beautifully was also the mysterious long-haired student that he had purposely toyed with. To Cheng Yu, it was unthinkable that someone with such an outer appearance could have such a mesmerizing voice. Furthermore, he had been completely charmed by her voice. ¡°Please leave.¡± Li Rou coldly chased them out. ¡°Hey Cheng Yu it seems we aren¡¯t welcome here, did you do something?¡± Although Zhao Rong could not see Li Rou¡¯s face, he noticed that Li Rou¡¯s body was facing towards Cheng Yu. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I need to time to think.¡± ¡°Sure, you better tell me what you did instead of keeping silent this time.¡± Cheng Yu was internally conflicted. Cheng Yu previously had intended to listen tothe singer''s voice but she had turned out to be the mysterious long-haired girl he had intentionally caused trouble for. As a result, LI Rou had chased him out forcefully. Cheng Yu was not one to think about the consequences of his actions as he had been gifted with everything. But after finding out thatLi Rou had such a soothing voice, he felt guilt-ridden. Zhao Rong noticed Cheng Yu''s dilemma andagreed to leave with him for now. Zhao Rong intended to probe Cheng Yu for answers later. As the troublemaking duo left the room. Li Rou sighed a breath of relief and tried to calm her erratically beating heart. She was originally caught off guard by the two of them when they barged into the room. But the moment she saw Cheng Yu, she was immediately annoyed by Cheng Yu¡¯s mere presence. He was the one that caused her the most amount of pain back when she was a failure. Chapter 10: Making Amends ¡°So. Cheng Yu, what the f*ck did you do to her?¡± Zhao Rong curiously asked. Cheng Yu shook his head as he explained to Zhao Rong, ¡°F*cked around with her. Not like the others though. I don¡¯t f*ck ugly girls, you know this Zhao Rong. And we both couldn¡¯t see her face so there¡¯s no way I¡¯d take that gamble.¡± Zhao Rong nodded his head in response to Cheng Yu¡¯s explanation, ¡°True. But she can sing well though.¡± ¡°Exactly! If I didn¡¯t dick around, I could have made use of my good looks and reputation to persuade her to join my side. I might have gotten even more popular by using her!¡± Zhao Rong gritted his teeth and clenched his fist as he revealed his intentions to Zhao Rong. Little did Cheng Yu know, Li Rou already had an extremely unfavorable impression of him before they even met. She had first-hand witnessed his scummy and manipulative personality after all. ¡°Haha, so what are you going to do now? You made befriending her ten times harder than before!¡± Zhao Rong questioned. ¡°I¡¯ll see if giving some gifts will help. Otherwise, I¡¯ll constantly pester her as long as she¡¯s singing in that room.¡± Cheng Yu carefully thought for a while before responding. Clutching his sides from laughter, Zhao Rong roared, ¡°Hahaha! The handsome flower boy giving presents and spending his time with somebody whose name he doesn¡¯t even know? You¡¯re really going all out this time!¡± Cheng Yu gave off a serious expression and said, ¡°This is an opportunity that¡¯s too good to pass up.¡± Cheng Yu was determined to bring Li Rou over to his side for his own agenda. ¡­ School ended for the day as Li Rou started walking back home. However, at the entrance to the school, there was a large rabble. In the center of that rabble was Cheng Yu. He was wearing sunglasses while he appeared to be waiting for someone. In his hand, there was a plastic bag carrying an elegantly designed box. Within the box, was an assortment of pastries of the finest quality. It was obvious that the pastries did not come from an average bakery. It had been ordered from a five-star hotel.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. As Li Rou walked pass the school gates, Cheng Yu suddenly called out, ¡°Hey! I was waiting for you!¡± ¡°F*ck me.¡± Li Rou quickly hastened her steps but Cheng Yu had already caught up with her. Everything Cheng Yu said had been caught by the crowd that was admiring him. ¡°Cheng Yu¡¯s waiting for a girl?¡± ¡°My Cheng Yu is cheating on me already? Unforgivable!¡± ¡°Who¡¯s that f*cking bitch? I¡¯ll kill her!¡± The murmurs from Cheng Yu¡¯s fans carried a hint of murderous intent in them. ¡°Can you please listen to me for awhile? These cakes and pastries are for you! I¡¯m only here to apologize.¡± Cheng Yu sincerely smiled as he handed the box over to Li Rou. Li Rou opened the box and took a peek at Cheng Yu''s gift. In all honesty, Li Rou was enticed by Cheng Yu''s gift. Most women love eating cakes, even more so when they were from an exquisite brand and cost a bomb. Li Rou was no exception as she accepted the cakes. ¡°I''ll take the gift. Goodbye.¡± Li Rou immediately turned and left after taking possession of the delicious goods. She was smiling gleefully while her hair prevented her facial expression from being seen by anyone. Her immediate response and exit had left Cheng Yu stunned in place for some time. He had never been treated like this before. It took some time for him to regain his senses. Afterwards, Cheng Yu just smiled and laughed to himself. ¡°She accepted the gift, that¡¯s all that matters. You¡¯re already within my grasp.¡± Cheng Yu thought. ¡°Cheng Yu¡¯s gone mad hasn¡¯t he? He was waiting for some random girl and now he¡¯s laughing and smiling to himself.¡± ¡°Who was that girl though?¡± "She''s the one that Cheng Yu spoke to before!" "Cheng Yu''s so modest! He even apologizes when he realizes he caused trouble for others! He makes me love him more!" Cheng Yu upon hearing some of the words the crowd around him spoke, quickly left the venue embarrassed by his own actions. ¡­ At home, Li Rou opened the box and indulged in the sweet delicacies Cheng Yu had bought for her. Back then, Cheng Yu had been completely mistaken. Li Rou had not said she had forgiven him, she merely took the gift he was offering away. There was no f*cking way she was ever going to forgive him even if Cheng Yu did not break Li Rou¡¯s heart in this timeline. But if Cheng Yu was going to offer something expensive she liked, she might as well take advantage of him and take it. ¡°F*ck you Cheng Yu.¡± With that last thought, Li Rou no longer bothered to think about Cheng Yu as she continued togobble down the assortment of sugary treats displayedbefore her. They tasted heavenly, as expected of a five-star hotel. Chapter 11: Secret Admirer! Several days have passed since Cheng Yu¡¯s public apology. The news had almost completely died out. Li Rou continued to practice her singing at the same location every day. Recently, she was in a good mood as she had not seen Cheng Yu since then. ... ¡°Everything I¡¯ve said will be tested next week. That¡¯s all for today.¡± As the lesson ended, the professor proceeded to wipe the blackboard as students poured out of the lecture theatre. The professor¡¯s name was Zheng Wei. Professor Zheng Wei was a relatively handsome twenty-six-year-old teacher with multiple titles and awards under his name. At such an early age, he had already obtained numerous achievements, this allowed him to be titled as a professor. Despite his prestige and accomplishments, he placed greater importance on educating students instead of carrying out research projects like his colleagues. As a result, he was highly popular with the students and was their role model for success. Recently, Professor Zheng Wei frequently did his work in a classroom and even took his breaks there. This all started when he noticed that nobody in class sat next to the girl every lesson. When Professor Zheng Wei asked several students for the name of the mysterious gal, they all called her Sadako from ¡®The Ring¡¯. Professor Zheng Wei was alarmed at how frivolously they would name-call a student and immediately reprimanded them. Professor Zheng Wei was afraid that ¡®Sadako¡¯ was a victim of bullying given how her other classmates were treating her. Ever since Cheng Yu pulled that stunt at the school¡¯s entrance, Professor Zheng Wei decided to keep his eye on her in fear of the bullying intensifying. At the end of every lesson, he would secretly tail ¡®Sadako¡¯ when she left the classroom to ensure she was safe from harm. The girl he had been tailing was Li Rou.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. During his first time tailing Li Rou, Professor Zheng Wei found himself in front of the gloomy classroom. As he was about to open the door to offer Li Rou guidance counseling, he heard a beautiful voice that moved his heart. As he listened to Li Rou¡¯s singing, he soon found himself completely mesmerized by her soft and mellow vocals. Only when Li Rou stopped singing, did he quickly came to his senses and left the scene. Ever since then, he often occupied the classroom below. As the soundproof padding was peeling off and the poor choice of location for a music room, Professor Zheng Wei could easily hear her singing from the windows. Professor Zheng Wei could be said to be Li Rou¡¯s first fan and her secret admirer. ¡°Such an amazing voice, it¡¯s a complete waste of her talent for her to be enrolled in Tsinghua University instead of the Central Conservatory of Music!¡± Professor Zheng Wei regretfully thought to himself. Suddenly on one of the days he was eavesdropping on Li Rou¡¯s singing, he came up with a brilliant idea that would at least boost Li Rou¡¯s popularity and hopefully force the Central Conservatory of Music¡¯s talent scouts to acknowledge her. ¡­ The next day, he quietly left a recorder in the old music room recording for the entire day. When he obtained the recording, he edited everything, leaving only Li Rou¡¯s singing in perfect clarity and uploaded it online on to Weibo. Being a young and outstanding Professor, he naturally had a decent sized following. Furthermore, as this song did not exist at this point in time yet, people thought the singer to be extremely talent in composing music and writing lyrics. As people shared the audio clip, it quickly became viral online. The audio clip soon gained several million plays on Weibo and was at the top in trending. ¡­ Li Rou¡¯s phone vibrated as she received a notification from the system. She immediately took out her phone and was surprised by the sudden landslide of points she had gained. ¡°What the f*ck happened?¡± Li Rou thought to herself while scratching her head, wondering if she had done anything to gain the public¡¯s attention recently. Nothing came to her mind. Nevertheless, she happily smiled at the increase in point she had gotten for no reason. Chapter 12: A Flurry of Activity! ¡°An amazing Singer on Weibo!¡± ¡°Hidden Talents on Weibo!¡± ¡°Who is the mysterious singer on Weibo?¡± "Weibo''s latest trending clip!" With the small audio clip of Li Rou¡¯s singing going viral, numerous newspapers were publishing articles about Li Rou. Meanwhile, numerous talent agencies were frenziedly working to identify the singer. Even some bigshot singers were keeping an eye on the situation, hoping to bring Li Rou under their tutelage. Such vocal talent was rarely heard of. ¡°Quickly find the singer!¡± ¡°She¡¯ll be one of the top singers in China easily!¡± ¡°Where did the audio clip come from?¡± ¡°The original audio clip came from Zheng Wei, he¡¯s a professor at Tsinghua University!¡± ¡°Send people to Tsinghua immediately! We must get the singer before the others!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget! The singer is highly likely to be in the business faculty building as Professor Zheng Wei is one of theirs!¡± ¡­ Professor Zheng Wei¡¯s phone was blowing up. He was receiving numerous calls from talent agencies and journalists. It was now common knowledge that the mesmerizing singer resided in Tsinghua University and Professor Zheng Wei knew the identity of the singer. ¡°Hello, is this Professor Zheng Wei? I¡¯m from Sum Far King Music Agency, we would like to know who the singer in the audio clip was.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry but that information is private and it would be inconsiderate for me to disclose it.¡± ¡°Could you at least give us a hint?¡± ¡°No, sorry. Goodbye.¡±This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. Within seconds, his phone rang again. This time, it was from another talent scouting agency. ¡°Hey there, I¡¯m calling from Sung Shi Tee Talent Agency. Professor Zheng Wei, I¡¯d like to ask if you know who the singer in the audio clip you posted is?¡± ¡°What¡¯s that? I can¡¯t quite hear you, it appears the location I¡¯m currently at has bad reception. I¡¯ll call you back when I am in a better location. *bzzt*¡± Professor Zheng Wei mimicked the sound of a fuzzy television screen with bad connection and immediately hung up. He then turned on his mobile phone¡¯s airplane mode. Despite being good-natured, he was eventually annoyed by the sheer amount of calls he was receiving. It completely distracted him from doing any work. Furthermore, there was not a chance that he would reveal who the singer was to Sum Far King music agency or Sum Shi Ti Talent Agency. They only aimed to line their pockets by getting their greedy hands on the recently trending singer. ... ¡°The number you dialed is not available, please try again later.¡± ¡°Director Ma, there¡¯s no one picking up the phone.¡± The bespectacled middle-aged man sighed as he reported to his superior about the current situation. ¡°There¡¯s no other way. Little Shi, prepare to make a trip to Tsinghua University. We have to recruit that singer otherwise we will lose a top talent as The Central Conservatory of Music!¡± Director Ma was the Arts director in the Conservatory of Music. Whereas Li Shi (called as Little Shi by Professor Ma) was an associate professor there. ¡­ ¡°It seems she became quite popular on the internet, I can use that to my own advantage later on.¡± Cheng Yu silently plotted as observed the endless stream of visitors entering Tsinghua University in search of Li Rou. ¡­ At Tsinghua University, a large number of visitors arrived and were randomly asking students they saw to sing for them. Some even barged into lecture theatres to ask where Professor Zheng Wei¡¯s class was. A large proportion of Tsinghua professors and officials in the business faculty building were outraged by the large influx of people who had brazenly barged into their school for a witch hunt. They had even dared to disrupt lessons just to search for a single person. ¡°Only those from other academic institutions and cultural associations may stay. Talent agencies and journalists are to leave the school grounds immediately!¡± A loud voice blared through the University''s PA system. ¡°Afterwards, I shall address the rest of you formally in the meeting room.¡± ¡°Professor Zheng Wei, please head towards the meeting room as well.¡± Dean Wei of the business faculty was absolutely furious by the large cesspool of unauthorized visitors. Almost everyone who valued their jobs knew of Dean Wei¡¯s bad temper as well as his connections to numerous government officials. Nobody wanted to make an enemy of him. Thus the unruly mob quickly dispersed and left the vicinity while grumbling to themselves, leaving only a handful of distinguished scholars who aimed to recruit the talented singer in Tsinghua to further polish her talent. ¡°Shameless bunch! The audacity of them to enter my faculty building as they please? I¡¯ll sue them next time!¡± Dean Wei muttered under his breath as he marched to the meeting room toattend to the unwelcome guests. Chapter 13: Called to the Meeting Room! Dean Wei and several staff members of the Tsinghua University business faculty sat down in the meeting room. As there were not sufficient chairs available in the meeting room, most of the guests were standing. Only several highly prestigious characters from outstanding associations and institutions were seated. They controlled a huge amount of face in the education sector after all. Seeing that majority of the important guests was present, Dean Wei nodded his head and started speaking. ¡°Greetings fellow scholars, I believe you¡¯re all here for the recently popular singer seen on Weibo. However, I must request for all of you to leave. I have already given all of you sufficient face by not chasing you out along with the journalists and talent agencies.¡± Immediately, numerous retorts from the representatives drowned the room. ¡°Are you serious?¡± ¡°Who are you to decide?¡± ¡°Such musical talent should be obvious be transferred to our school for us to nurture!¡± Dean Wei was not a pushover, he coldly glared at the people in the room and said, ¡°You do not simply barge into my faculty building uninvited.¡± Everyone in the room became silent, they all understood he was truly enraged this time. ¡°Dean Wei, why don¡¯t we let the singer decide what she wants?¡± Professor Zheng Wei broke the silence as he proposed the idea to Dean Wei. Upon hearing these words, Dean Wei¡¯s brow furrowed as he sank deep in thought. ¡°When I recorded the audio clip, I intended to aid the singer to polish her singing talent. If we do not take action, we would simply be letting her talent rot away! It would contrast with everything you said!¡± Professor Zheng Wei continued to reasonably pitch his proposal. ¡°Very well. Professor Zheng Wei, however as you are the only one who knows the identity of the student, please summon the student here so she can decide.¡±, Dean Wei sighed and finally conceded. Professor Zheng Wei flipped through the student attendance and matched Li Rou¡¯s name to her perfect attendance. This was because Professor Zheng Wei offered lectures with content that was not tested. It was natural for those lectures to only have a turn-up rate of about 100% on the first session before sharply declining to 10% from their second session onwards as they were a complete waste of precious time. However, Li Rou had attended even those lectures, and with her appearance, how could Professor Zheng Wei not notice her in class.Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. Holding the student attendance sheet, he quickly made his way to the intercom and summoned Li Rou to the meeting room. ¡°Can Ms.Li Rou from the Business Studies report to the meeting room immediately?¡± The voice over the PA system repeated three times before stopping. Li Rou had a foreboding feeling as she reluctantly made her way towards the meeting room. When she opened the door to the meeting room, she found everyone¡¯s eyes on her as murmurs of surprise and curiosity ran through the room. ¡°Why¡¯s her hair so long?¡± ¡°Is she purposely hiding her face?¡± ¡°How can it possibly be her?¡± She hesitantly entered the room and stood by the door. ¡°Ms. Li Rou, I am Dean Wei of Business Studies. You have been summoned here as Professor Zheng Wei has revealed you to be the recently popular singer on Weibo.¡± Dean Wei introduced himself as he explained the reason she was called here. However, he had purposefully left out the fact that representatives from the most prestigious musical institutions were hoping to enroll her in their various schools. ¡°I apologize, I have no knowledge of what you¡¯re talking about as I have not logged on to Weibo for the past week.¡± Li Rou quickly apologized, she was perplexed by the current situation she was in. ¡°Li Rou could you sing for us? Just a short verse will suffice.¡± Professor Zheng Wei asked politely. His request was a surefire way to quickly prove to everyone that she was the singer. Li Rou nodded her head in agreement as she soon started to sing the same song she had been consistently practicing over the past two weeks. As she sang, everyone¡¯s doubts were cleared as her singing was beautifully eloquent and surpassed even the recorded audio clip. Albeit there were a few minute flaws, but considering she did not have a teacher and was self-taught, her vocals were almost perfect. ¡°You have wondrous singing talent and ability. Why do you hide in the old music room to practice though?¡± Professor Zheng Wei asked. ¡°Hide?¡± Li Rou was completely baffled by this question. She was trying to do the opposite of hiding! Li Rou had never intentionally hidden the fact that she could sing well. Instead, Li Rou was desperately hoping people would notice and spread rumors about her so she could gain more points. But from her perspective, the only people to ever notice her singing were Cheng Yu and Zhao Rong! Other than them, there was f*cking nobody! She needed to stand out to get points yet it always seemed like nothing was happening! And now, here you are, asking her why she was hiding in the old music room? Li Rou''s head ached as she thought to herself, "Are you f*cking kidding me?" Chapter 14: Fighting for Li Rou! Noticing that Li Rou had not answered Professor Zheng Wei¡¯s question for quite some time, Dean Wei let out a loud cough, bringing everyone¡¯s attention to him. ¡°Now that everyone is certain that you truly are the singer from the Weibo post, you are to choose whether or not do you want to transfer to another institution built around Performing Arts or remain in Tsinghua as a Business Studies undergraduate or even change your degree of choice to a music-related one.¡± Dean Wei waved his hand towards the large gathering of school representatives and gave her the true reason as to why she had been summoned to the meeting room. ¡°Naturally, all of us wish to further polish your abilities and highly recommend you to either transfer or switch to a musically related course. However, if you choose to remain in as an undergraduate in Business Studies, your decision will be respected as well.¡± Dean Wei said with a serious expression. Li Rou carefully observed the other strangers in the room. It appeared to her that they all silently consented with everything that Dean Wei has said thus far.Even Professor Zheng Wei stood silently at the side, everything was now up to Li Rou to decide. ¡°But before we go any further, on behalf of the representatives from other schools such as Beijing Film Academy, Nanjing University of the Arts and even The National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, we must insist that your facial features are revealed to us.¡± It was a reasonable request. To industries such as show business, music, and other performing sectors, an artiste¡¯s appearance could play a huge role in their popularity. For example, in the US, Kim Kardashian has absolutely no talent in acting or any other performing arts. Despite that, the Kardashians are a household name as the beauty of her rounded butt cheeks in a sex tape made her largely popular among single men. ¡°But of course, if you continue to stay at Tsinghua University, there is no need to reveal your true appearance. In addition, we will naturally provide you with excellent additional benefits and enroll you as an honor student. Furthermore, we shall refurbish a teacher-sized dormitory for your personal stay.¡± Dean Wei shamelessly said as he threw out the bait. But how could the other school representatives stay silent when they heard Dean Wei¡¯s words?Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. ¡°Nanjing University of the Arts no longer require you to reveal your facial features as well!¡± ¡°My Central Conservatory of Music does not need you to attend any lessons or take any exams! We will always open our doors for you and provide you the same benefits an honor student gets along with a monthly allowance larger than that of Tsinghua!¡± ¡°Our school can easily give you more than what Tsinghua can!¡± Suddenly, a deep voice pierced through the noise and loudly proclaimed, ¡°Peking University¡¯s School of Arts will naturally offer more than what Tsinghua has to offer! Furthermore, we will have Associate Professor Hou Xi Jun and Associate Professor Zhou Yun Cheng whose main focus are in vocal music performance to personally guide you!¡± ¡°It¡¯s Dean Wang Lang Yi from Peking University¡¯s School of the Arts! He has personally come to Tsinghua to recruit a student!¡± Someone who had recognized Dean Wang exclaimed. ¡°Lang Yi you little slimeball! Daring to enter Tsinghua University while hiding in the large crowd of people just to steal one of my Tsinghua University¡¯s students!¡± Dean Wei howled as he saw Dean Wang from Peking University. ¡°Hahaha! I dare! Why won¡¯t I dare? Your Tsinghua musical accomplishments do not even hold a candle to my Peking University!¡± Dean Wang laughed as he loudly rebutted. The group of school representatives who came to Tsinghua University to recruit Li Rou were all eager to see how the situation would unfold. It was public knowledge that Tsinghua and Peking University had a fierce and ongoing rivalry with each other as they competed against each other for the first place in university rankings. Soon the two were deeply embroiled in a fierce argument, boasting about their respective schools while belittling the other. Having displayed her skills before the masters, Li Rou became an irresistible sack of meat and potatoes. Everybody offered numerous benefits and perks to entice her despite not knowing what she looked underneath. They were all willing to take the risk for a chance to get a bigger reward! ¡°I urgently need to go the washroom.¡± Li Rou hastily announced as she swiftly headed to the nearest washroom to consolidate her thoughts. With the recruitment of her as a singer being the trigger, Li Rou finally recognized the golden opportunity in her lap the entire time! Li Rou had finally come to the realization that she could easily become an international fashion model or a famous pop idol by using the talent tablets and facial masks given by the system! If it wasn¡¯t clear after Peking and Tsinghua faculty staff members fought to enroll her their own music course, the Business Studies degree in Tsinghua was now clearly worth dog shit to her! Chapter 15: Li Rous Decision Li Rou sat in the toilet stall with her phone in her hand. She had several things to do before she could properly give a reply to the people who had come all the way to Tsinghua University for her. ¡°Now then, the first order of business is to find that Weibo video. This shouldn¡¯t be too hard. They said it was popular after all.¡± As Li Rou opened up Weibo, there were several eye-catching headlines that flashed by. ¡°Uninvited Guests make their way to Tsinghua!¡± ¡°Tsinghua besieged by talent scouts!¡± ... Li Rou easily found the audio clip of her singing as it was still listed as a hotly trending post. Li Rou was greatly surprised when she saw the number of plays it had. She had underestimated the magnitude of the situation, she did not expect for such a large number of the nation¡¯s eyes to be focused on her. After quickly evaluating the current situation, Li Rou finally understood how popular she had gotten and what motives the people in the meeting room had. ¡°The next thing to do is to spend some of the points that I should have gotten from the clip away. Only by spending part of it, could one¡¯s windfall be secured after all.¡± Li Rou logged out of Weibo and checked the notifications she had gotten from the system, only to find that she had amassed close to fourteen million points! The number of points was about same as the number of views on the audio clip. Li Rou then opened the lottery on her phone and spun countless times and soon, the lottery wheel''s needle eventually landed on the ominous looking space.
Misfortune Reward Penalty Implemented: All consumable items from the Basic Bitches Lottery only have 2% effectiveness.
Misfortune Point Shop Opened. A system update is required to run the new version of the lottery. The system will update when you are inactive.
¡°Wait. What? I have over hundred talent pills and facial masks that I have yet to use!¡± Li Rou was aghast. Her points were eaten by this piece of shit lottery yet again! The rewards she had gotten, now only had 2% of their original value! Li Rou grither teeth as shecontinued to spin the wheel until she finally obtained the gold reward. As expected the gold reward was an upgrade for the lottery wheel.
Congratulations on obtaining the lottery wheel upgrade! A system update is required to run the new version of the lottery. The system will update when you are inactive.
It appears that Li Rou would have to wait until the next day before she could try the brand new upgraded lottery and the Misfortune Point Shop. ... With the remaining twelve million points, Li Rou bought two Breast Enhancement Milk. Ten million points were deducted from her balance as she did so. The Breast Enhancement Milk was packaged in juice boxes with a transparent straw literally duct taped to their sides. You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. ¡°This looks like a scam, it¡¯s so cheaply packaged and yet they cost me five million points each!¡± Even if Li Rou''s heart was not bleeding from the lottery wheel''s scam-like penalty, it was definitely hemorrhaging to death now. Such a crappy-looking product was bought at an exorbitant price of five million points! Furthermore, she had bought two of them! Li Rou stuck the straw into the first juice box and started drinking its contents. ¡°Mmph!!¡± Li Rou immediately covered her mouth using her hands. An overwhelming bitterness filled her mouth when the contents of the juice box came into contact with her mouth. Furthermore, the drink had a slimy texture, similar to that of bile. Li Rou desperately wanted to throw up. ¡°Creamy goodness delight? Aren¡¯t you full of sh*t?¡± Li Rou silently cursed the system and continued to force the horrendous liquid down her throat. After all, it would be a waste if any of it dripped out. She had paid five million points for each tiny box of milk. As the last drop of bitter bile was swallowed by Li Rou, Li Rou hastily took out her water bottle and tried to wash the disgusting flavor of the milk away. Unfortunately, the taste of the milk was far too strong and it stuck to the back of her throat, resulting in its horrid stench and taste lingering in her mouth. As Li Rou recovered from the repulsive taste of the Breast Enhancement Milk, her chest started to slowly grow in size! Two tiny soft lumps eventually formed and continued to grow in size, causing immense discomfort for Li Rou. Her worn out 28AA bra was too tight for her enlarged boobs and the straps were now painfully digging into her flesh! Every time she moved, the bra padding occasionally rubbed against her sensitive areas and stimulated her nerves with pleasure as the bra was no longer well fitted. Thankfully, Li Rou was a person with public decency. here was no way she could masturbate in a public restroom. Li Rou would instead masturbate at home like how she has always secretly done; With her regularly used night-time companion who was currently staying under her bed. In order to stop the bra padding from rubbing against her chest, Li Rou took off her bra and shoved it in her bag. Afterwards, fearing that thefabric of her top would have the same effect, she then proceeded to cover her delicate womanly parts with plasters she kept for emergencies. ¡°I need to be prepared the next time I drink the Breast Enhancement Milk. It makes my current clothing too small around the chest area. But finally! The Milk made my breasts grow larger despite its horrible taste!¡± Li Rou thought as she rubbed her newfound breasts, savoring their exquisite softness. Fortunately for Li Rou, no one would notice the sudden growth of her breasts. The top she was wearing today, was far too baggy to tell the difference from before her short trip to the washroom or With Li Rou¡¯s urgent matters settled, she now had to decide how she was going to respond to the numerous school representatives. ... Li Rou left the washroom and returned to the meeting room. Her small but shapely breasts bounced around rhythmically in sync with her steps. And as she entered the meeting room, she was greeted warmly by Dean Wei. ¡°Welcome back, we would like to apologize for our inexcusable behavior just now. Putting that aside, we would all like to hear the school you have decided on. We assumed that you were deeply considering your options while in the bathroom. Unless you require more time to think?¡± Li Rou sucked in a deep breath and started to announce her decision. ¡°I intend to enroll in Tsinghua as an honorary student in Business Studies and transfer over to the Central Conservatory of Music. ¡°It is not your choice to make as to whether or not you want to be a full-time or honorary in a faculty other than music.¡± Dean Wang from Peking University sneered when he heard Li Rou¡¯s ridiculous decision. He was also starting to feel biased against Li Rou for not accepting Peking University''s gracious offer. ¡°Although we are often at odds with each other, I agree with Dean Wang from Peking University. If you are to continue staying in Tsinghua, you have to remain as a full-time student here. I highly doubt you will be able to cope with the Business Studies final exam and project if you''re exempted from lessons and tests as an honorary student." "You¡¯re biting off more than you can chew.¡± Dean Wei chimed in and supported Dean Wang¡¯s stance on the topic. Chapter 16: A Bold Proposal After a prolonged silence, Li Rou meekly proposed her idea. ¡°If I¡¯m able to perform well for the upcoming tests, there should not be a problem right?¡± Having already gone through the tortuous lectures and projects before, Li Rou decided that she should rightfully get some benefits for all the hard work and dedication she has put in over the years. She¡¯d have to be stupid to not reap such easily obtainable benefits. There was an allowance of 16,000RMB that she could get per month without putting in any effort. ¡°You... Are you really intending to obtain a degree in Business Studies in Tsinghua as well?¡± Dean Wang stammered. ¡°Must you be so persistently foolish? As we have said before, it''s impossible to study for exams for two degrees! A full-time university student simply does not have the time to do so!¡± Dean Wang turned to Dean Wei looking for his support in the matter. But Dean Wei simply sat there as he scratched his chin. He was deep in thought as he considered Li Rou¡¯s proposal. The idea was feasible, but in the event that Li Rou failed, Tsinghua would still end up losing a singing talent as she would still go to the Central Conservatory of Music. Tsinghua simply had nothing to gain by accepting her proposal. ¡°Very well, Tsinghua University shall allow you to take the exams and tests, I believe Professor Zheng Wei has already set the papers. However, should you fail to get at least an A-, instead of going to the Central Conservatory of Music, you shall study only music in Tsinghua!¡± ¡°Dean Wei! We should be placing greater importance on the student¡¯s future and not imprison them in Tsinghua!¡± Professor Zheng Wei urgently whispered after hearing the conditions Dean Wei had. ¡°Professor Zheng Wei, by letting her take the tests, there is a possibility that she will disclose the questions in the future. Even if we make her sign a non-disclosure agreement, even a small slip of the tongue can have disastrous effects on our school¡¯s prestige. Furthermore, if she does become an honorary student, Tsinghua University is the one that has to fork out the resources. There has to be a risk for on taking the tests. But most importantly, this will act as a deterrent and dissuade her from insisting on continuing Business Studies.¡± Dean Wei¡¯s points were completely logical. If it was let out to other students that the school gave preferential treatment, there would be a small uproar. But if tests questions were revealed, it was certainly going to cause a massive problem for the business department. It was even possible that the university¡¯s reputation would be tarnished and news reporters would flock to Tsinghua. Furthermore, it was only reasonable to have no faith in Li Rou¡¯s academic abilities. As none of the major tests and exams have come to pass, there was nothing to judge her capabilities with.You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. Li Rou quietly nodded her head indicating that she was willing accepting those conditions. Dean Wei stood from his seat and spoke to everyone. ¡°Then it is decided, Director Ma and other members from the Central Conservatory of Music who have specially made their way to Tsinghua University, we shall update all you on the situation in the future. On that note, people started getting up and prepared to leave the room. There were some disgruntled murmurs as the crowd thronged through the door. ¡°We came all this way for nothing.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe the benefits we offered were lesser than others.¡± ¡°Our school has less prestige in comparison to the Central Conservatory of Music, what can we do?¡± Dean Wang shook his head in exasperation and turned to leave the room with the crowd. ¡°Youngsters these days really don¡¯t know their own limits.¡± Regardless, everyone had a similar thought in mind, which was: Will this girl rise up to become a superstar in the future? ¡­ Cheng Yu had been observing the entrance of the meeting room from a corner and had noticed that people were leaving. He immediately headed towards the toilet that was nearest to the meeting room and sat in a cubicle. The bathroom door creaked open as people from the meeting room entered the bathroom. ¡°I can¡¯t believe Tsinghua is allowing her to take the tests early to continue her degree in Business Studies while giving her numerous benefits if she passes.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Dean Wei¡¯s decision as well. But that¡¯s how the world works, those with talent get preferential treatment.¡± ¡°I think she should have just transferred to the Central Conservatory of Music, her career as a singer would have been secured there.¡± ¡°If she passes and other students know, they won¡¯t be particularly happy about it. But there¡¯s no way she¡¯d pass anyway.¡± Cheng Yu was half-surprised by what he had heard. It was apparent that Li Rou¡¯s singing talent was heavily valued by musical institutions around China. It was expected as the clip Professor Zheng Wei had posted had gone largely viral. Even he himself had seen the clip. What he did not expect, was that Li Rou would continue in Business Studies. As people vacated the washroom, Cheng Yu sinisterly smiled to himself while sitting on the toilet. He had heard something very interesting. Chapter 17: End Of The Semester Li Rou remained in the meeting room alongside staff members of Tsinghua University after the group of people left. ¡°Professor Zheng Wei, prepare all the required test papers before the examinations begin. The matter at hand needs to be resolved quickly before the media catches wind of the situation.¡± Dean Wei quietly ordered before turning to face Li Rou. ¡°Miss Li Rou, as per your request, you will be given every single upcoming test on the day of the examinations with the other students. Naturally, there will be breaks in between each paper. Any questions? If not, please return to class.¡± Li Rou simply nodded her head acknowledging Dean Wei¡¯s words and started making her way back to class. Li Rou¡¯s mind was in ecstasy as she thought to herself. ¡°Ha ha ha! Do your worst! I¡¯ve already gone through everything in the past! Even if Tsinghua University wanted me to take the tests now, I¡¯d have no problem acing them you stupid old man! You better have the money and accommodation ready for me! Coming to school every day via public transport is a pain in the ass!¡± ¡­ A school bell could be heard chiming from Tsinghua University, lessons had ended and students began to leave the school premises. White snowflakes gradually started falling from the frosty sky, enveloping trees and covering the ground with a thick blanket of snow as the temperature began to plummet to near freezing conditions. To the students, the weather served as a reminder to them, that the semester was coming to an end and that the exams were imminent. Inside the University, the library and hangout locations were more crowded than usual with students seeking shelter from the cold. Furthermore, Students scurried about in preparation for the upcoming examination, doing group revision and seeking for last-minute consultations with their professors. Li Rouwaddled through the throng of students while relishing in the situation around her. She was greatly amused. In the past, Li Rou used to be as anxious as them in the past, hugging Buddha¡¯s leg at the last minute and cramming as much as they could just before the exams. But right now, she was well prepared for every single test the school could throw at her. Soon, Li Rou was out of the teaching blocks and well on her way towards the old classroom. The pathways between the school blocks were open-aired. Li Rou could clearly see the snow gracefully descending and felt the air turned colder as she casually strolled through the pathway. Close to two months hadunknowingly passed since Li Rouhadenrolled into Tsinghua and it was now November. The passing of time seemed so surreal to Li Rou, she had lost track of time since she spent most of her time in the old classroom. At first, her singing improved by leaps and bounds. But very quickly, she felt her singing had reached a bottleneck as there was no one mentoring her. With the exams coming soon, Li Rou came to the realization that she would eventually stop going to thr old classroomand started feeling sentimental.Li Rou softly sighedas she reached for the familiar door handle.This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. The door swung open, butas Li Rou was about to enter the classroom, she heard a muffled sound from behind her. ¡°Miao~¡± Oh? That was unmistakably a cat meowing. Strangely, the mewing seems to come from inside a garbage bin. As Li Rou took off the lid, a foul stench wafted in the air, almost causing her to retch. Students that were passing by threw a disgusted glance at Li Rou and briskly walked by while pinching their noses. From their perspective, with Li Rou¡¯s unkempt hair and disheveled appearance, they assumed that she came from an extremely poor household and had to resort to salvaging scraps for her daily expenses. It was better to avoid people who salvaged trash after all. Their hands were honed in the very depths of garbage bins and strengthened by being in contact with a wide variety of trash that seeps their pores. Nobody knows what kind of infectious diseases and bacteria they had at their fingertips. Li Rou scrunched her nose and held her breath as she peered inside the garbage bin. Amongst the contents of the garbage bin, Li Rou found a set of rounded eyes staring back at her. The pair of eyes belonged to an orange and brown striped kitten. The kitten appeared to be extremely malnourished and fragile, its body was nothing other than a bag of skin and bones. If a gust of wind blew against it, it would most likely topple over with little resistance. And if it was to endure the freezing weather outside by itself, it would surely freeze to death Having had been in a garbage bin, the kitten reeked of trash. Dirt and filth matted its fur, causing its fur to lose originally smooth texture and lustrous sheen. Stray cats were a common sight to see along the streets of China, shop owners and people in the areas where they are commonly located in consider them as pests due to their large numbers and their habit of spraying areas to mark their territory. As a result, animal cruelty was a common occurrence. Especially in impoverished districts. Despite that, Li Rou was surprised. Most students would either find the kitten cute and care for it or ignore the kitten because they found it unhygienic. It appears that the heavens had blessed this kitten for it had encountered Li Rou, who was a kind-hearted and compassionate person despite her past episodes of depression and constant bullying.Her hands reached into the garbage can and picked up the kitten and carried it to the old classroom. Inside, Li Rou briefly examined the kitten¡¯s physical condition before deciding that it was not badly injured and was probably dehydrated from being in the trash. Li Rou then went to the school cafeteria to purchase a bottle of water, leaving the kitten alone in the classroom ¡­ Cheng Yu had originally intended Li Rou to confront her with some juicy information he heard while inside the toilet. But when he saw Li Rou carrying a furry orange ball from a distance, he instinctively hid behind a corner and watched her. Only three minutes after Li Rou left the classroom, did he finally went to inspect what Li Rou had left inside. When Cheng Yu entered the classroom, he found a dirty little fluff ball staring directly back at him. ¡°What have we here?¡± Chapter 18: Two Birds With One Stone Cheng Yu was greatly intrigued by the kitten and lifted it with its arms in the air. ¡°Hmm, why would she bring a kitten inside here? And this one looks like a stray on top it.¡± While Cheng Yu was deep in thought, the kitten which was still dangling in Cheng Yu¡¯s arms, mewed in warning and suddenly pissed on him. Cheng Yu felt a warm liquid running down his leg as he caught a whiff of its horrid scent. Cheng Yu hurriedly took a step back. But it was already too late as he felt an uncomfortable squishing between his socks and shoes. ¡°You filthy pest!¡± Cheng Yu dropped the kitten and delivered a vicious kick towards it, causing the frail kitten was sent flying towards a stack of musty old books where it landed, causing the books to topple over. ¡°A filthy stray actually pissed on me and dirtied my Bucci shoes...¡± Cheng Yu scowled as he cursed his rotten luck. Unbeknownst to him, Li Rou had already returned. Having witnessed everything Cheng Yu had done to the kitten, Li Rou She tightly clenched the water bottle she had just bought and unscrewed the cap. Afterwards, with the open water bottle tightly in her hand, she called out to Cheng Yu in a sweet, angelic voice. ¡°Hey! The handsome guy there!¡± ¡°Hmm? What is it?¡± As Cheng Yu turned to face the source of the melodious voice, his attitude did a 180¡ã change and smiled as he turned towards the voice. It was as if nothing had just happened at all. It was only natural to assume such a high-pitched and angelic voice would belong to a cute and petite girl. However, Cheng Yu¡¯s face was met with a splash of water when he turned around. Resulting in his body being drenched from head to toe. ¡°What the fuck? Are you crazy? The weather¡¯s freezing!¡± Cheng Yu shouted as he wiped the water off his face to clearly see who the perpetrator was. But just as he regained his vision, Li Rou threw a brick she obtained from the dilapidated walls. The crude rectangular projectile flew directly towards Cheng Yu¡¯s lower body, dealing heavy damage to his manly possessions. Cheng Yu¡¯s legs gave way as he gradually slumped to the floor in a fetal position while caressing his jewels. He was incapacitated from the excruciating pain and his veins were bulging as he lay on the floor. ¡°You¡­ My balls.¡± Cheng Yu gasped out while wheezing. He struggled to lift his head and observe Li Rou¡¯s face, only to be met with Li Rou¡¯s indifferent expression as she coldly stared Cheng Yu down. But underneath her indifferent and cold demeanour, Li Rou was actually in a daze.Not only had she had unintentionally struck a man¡¯s most valuable asset, the system suddenly displayed a notification.
Achievement Two Birds with One Stone
Description You really killed his two ¡®birds¡¯ with one stone.(brick)
Effect Throwing strength and accuracy increased!(Insignificantly)
¡°Guh¡­¡±Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. Li Rou quickly returned to her senses when she heard Cheng Yu¡¯s agonizing grunt. Fearing that Cheng Yu could muster the strength to stand up and fight, Li Rou scurried to the pile of books that had collapsed to search for the kitten. As Li Rou scrambled to clear the books away, from under the pile of books, the kitten crawled out, slightly bruised and battered and limping with its hind leg injured. Fortunately, the thickness of the stack of books had largely cushioned the impact with its preposterous number of pages. Otherwise, the results would''ve been unthinkable. ¡°You¡¯re okay¡­¡± Li Rou quickly pulled the kitten into her embrace and fled from the classroom. If looks could kill, Li Rou would¡¯ve been dead by now. Cheng Yu clambered onto his feed, using a desk as support to get up while watching Li Rou¡¯s silhouette got further away. Cheng Yu¡¯s stare drilled holes in Li Rou¡¯s back as he frenziedly murmured to himself while clutching his genitals, ¡°My fanbase will hear about this, you have no idea what they¡¯ll do to you!¡± ¡­ While leaving a pet clinic, Li Rou felt like crying, for her wallet felt lighter than ever. ¡°Who knew veterinarian services would cost so much¡­¡± Li Rou sighed as she counted the amount of money she had left. ¡°Miao.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Li Rou turned around to be met with two adult cats sitting near the door of the pet clinic. ¡°The patterns on those cats are similar to this kitten, they must be its parents.¡± Li Rou thought to herself while comparing the fur coats. ¡°Mew~¡± The kitten in tenderly licked Li Rou¡¯s arm, demanding to be released. ¡°I...I see.¡± Li Rou gently let down the kitten reluctantly after determining what the kitten wanted. To her, the kitten was a kindred spirit, they were both ostracized by society and led horrible lives. Fortunately this time, Li Rou had the Goddess¡¯s World System to change her life. As Li Rou made her way home, she found solace in that thought. ¡­ Unbeknownst to Li Rou, Cheng Yu had riled up his fan club on his Weibo account and called forth a witch hunt.
I stretched my hand out in kindness to the loner in our school. Only to be backstabbed and assaulted. She wanted me all to herself that she tried to knock me out by throwing a brick aimed at my face. Kindness begets kindness, but vicious snakes lie in wait.
Cheng Yu could be considered to be a relatively popular and could garner public interest. Even if Li Rou was unwilling to establish friendly relationships, Cheng Yu was determined to reap some benefits by defaming her with a scandal. Furthermore, by twisting the story and exaggerating the events that happened, the media was sure to flock to his banner. Naturally, there¡¯s was no way Cheng Yu was going to announce that he had his balls smacked.
