“So that’s how it is. Recruiting new blood really is pretty troublesome, especially since none of us has any experience.” In the classroom, Peach had also learned that the Light Music Club was short on members. However, compared with the nervous Tang Keke, Peach seemed remarkably mature.
After all, when it came to handling affairs, Peach was unquestionably far more capable than Tang Keke and Bai Yuyou.
That was the power of a super part-time worker. No matter what the problem was, she could always deal with it properly.
Seeing that Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke still had yet to take action, Peach said, “Since the opening ceremony is over, let’s go recruit new members later. I know where there are usually lots of new students.”
Tang Keke’s eyes lit up at once. “Okay, okay! Peach, you really are the most reliable. Yu You and I were still wondering where we should go recruit people. We can’t exactly grab someone off the street and ask them one by one, right?”
“What about the posters?”
If they were going to recruit new members, they would need to prepare posters as well. They couldn’t just stand there like idiots shouting, “The Light Music Club is recruiting!” That would feel a little strange.
Still, Bai Yuyou and Keke’s looks alone were enough to draw plenty of attention. Their effect was far stronger than simply shouting, “Everyone, look at me!”
In fact, Keke was the kind of person who came with a built-in taunt effect. No one could help looking at Keke before turning their attention to Bai Yuyou.
If they looked at her face first, all one could say was: thumbs up.
“About making the poster…”
After hearing that they needed to make a poster, Bai Yuyou thought for a moment before taking a blank sheet of A4 paper from her desk drawer. She usually used it to write down important points from class or draw four-panel comics, and there were still plenty of unused sheets in the drawer.
She usually recorded things on her tablet, so she rarely used paper anymore. That was why she had so much left over.
“How many do we have to draw? This feels like a huge amount of work.” Tang Keke noticed the A4 paper in Bai Yuyou’s drawer and rested her chin on her hand, looking thoughtful.
Her own drawing skills weren’t very good. If they relied entirely on Yu You, it seemed as though they would be making her do too much work.
“If we draw them one by one, it’ll take too much effort, and it wouldn’t be practical,” Bai Yuyou said softly. “We can draw one first, then print the rest.”
“Right, let’s draw one first,” Peach agreed.
However, the three girls had no idea what to put on it. Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke had never researched how to recruit new club members, while Peach was so busy that she naturally had no idea how to design an eye-catching poster either.
But that wasn’t a problem. The academy had bulletin boards for posters all over campus. There were even school gossip papers, club recruitment posters, and, of course, all kinds of confessions from one student to another.
Peach suggested that they go look at the other clubs’ posters and see how they had been designed. That way, they could better filter out the kind of members they wanted without wasting unnecessary time.
“Come on, come on! Let’s go steal ideas from everyone else’s posters.”
The girls made their way to the poster board. Since it was the beginning of a new semester, not only were quite a few people gathered there, but the board was also covered with promotional posters for all kinds of clubs.
Some were incredibly elaborate, with even the edges finished in gold foil. They proudly called themselves the Young Masters and Young Ladies Club.
Others were plain and simple: a sheet of white paper with a few huge words written across it—“The Manly Men’s Club Needs You!”—followed by some contact information.
The sheer variety of posters left Bai Yuyou and the others dazzled.
“They really are something. What a complete mess.” Tang Keke felt that with so many posters, standing out from the crowd would be no easy task. No matter what, they had to make sure people noticed their club, right?
“It’s difficult,” Bai Yuyou said, shaking her head.
There were simply too many posters, and quite a few of them had been designed beautifully. On top of that, there were already plenty of music-related clubs. Attracting new members would be extremely difficult.
“How about writing, ‘Shocking! You’ll Never Believe What This Club Does—’” Tang Keke suggested.
“That’s a good idea? It doesn’t sound very reliable, but it might work.” Peach was unexpectedly impressed by Keke’s suggestion this time. After all, it really would catch people’s attention.
“See? See? It’ll definitely work!” Tang Keke said confidently.
Bai Yuyou, however, pointed toward the corner of the poster board. “Here.”
Keke and Peach looked in the direction Bai Yuyou was pointing.
“Shocking! The Beautiful Club President Is Actually—”
“Shocking! There’s Someone Inside the Locked Clubroom—”
“The Sky Is Falling! The Strongest Club in the Universe Has Actually Started—”
Tang Keke: “…”
“Looks like a lot of people have already used that idea. I thought it was a good one.” Peach seemed a little disappointed. Even a good idea would become ordinary if a whole bunch of people used it together.
The clubs had also pulled out all the stops in their recruitment efforts. Some had even printed pictures of their club presidents, especially when the presidents happened to be attractive boys or girls, and claimed that joining the club might even lead to a romantic encounter.
If they put a photo of Bai Yuyou on the poster, it would certainly attract plenty of attention. But then the members they recruited wouldn’t be coming for the Light Music Club. They would be coming for Bai Yuyou instead. That had already happened the last time they recruited members.
“You three look pretty troubled.” A voice came from behind them.
Bai Yuyou and the others turned around and saw a long-haired girl with her hands in her pockets, also looking over the contents of the poster board.
“Mm… hee hee…” She was sucking on a lollipop, her teeth clicking against it.
“Xiaoyi, you’re here too?”
“I was just passing by. I saw the three of you huddled together, so I came to see what you were doing.” As Anshi Yi spoke, she noticed the A4 paper in Bai Yuyou’s hand. In an instant, she seemed to understand.
“Is the club recruiting new members?”
“Yeah. You and Little Yu never bother with club business, and Zhixia and Linlin are about to start their internships. We definitely need some fresh blood, otherwise once we start our internships, there won’t be anyone left in the club,” Tang Keke explained.
“Eh—” Anshi Yi wasn’t concerned about whether the club had any members or not. After all, would everyone still care about their old school club after graduation?
To Xiaoyi, what had always mattered was the people—not objects or some kind of formal structure.
“If that’s the case, I do have a great idea,” Anshi Yi said.
“A great idea? Seriously?” Tang Keke asked, though she had a bad feeling about it. Anshi Yi had far too many crazy schemes. Who knew what kind of trouble she was about to cause?
“Of course I’m serious. How hard can it be to attract people’s attention?” Anshi Yi said, then gave a mischievous grin. “Hee hee. You put on a swimsuit, stick a poster to your body, and walk around campus once. It’ll work like a charm.”
“I knew you were up to no good!”

e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one."

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
