Today's classes only lasted half a day.
The remaining half was left for students to adjust their state.
The next day, they had to gather at school by six in the morning, meaning they’d have to wake up by five at the latest.
They couldn’t let the students enter the Origin Realm with dark circles under their eyes, could they?
On her way home, Liu Yuan stared at the messages on her phone screen, her emotions tangled.
Each line of text felt like a bucket of cold water, dousing the fiery passion that had just been ignited in her.
She lowered her head in thought for a moment, then tapped lightly on the screen.
【Iris: Big bro… But if everyone thinks like this, who will step forward then?】
【IWantToSleep: Because not everyone will think like this. Someone will always step forward—but I don’t want it to be you.】
Liu Yuan pursed her lips, feeling both indignant and unable to refute him.
On one hand, she understood her brother was looking out for her…
But on the other, she couldn’t shake the thought—if everyone acted this way, wouldn’t the world become a colder place?
So frustrating…
Of course, she would never resent her brother for it.
After all, no one was perfect.
Before she knew it, she had already arrived home.
Glancing at Su Qi, who for some reason had finally emerged from his room and was now lounging on the couch playing with his phone, she headed straight for her own room.
Just then, Su Qi looked up from his phone, noticed Liu Yuan avoiding eye contact, and let his gaze drift downward before speaking. "Wait a sec."
At the same time, Liu Yuan received a notification.
【Equipment Status Updated】
【Card Name: Yet Again Peeked-at White Stockings】
【Type: Exclusive Equipment · Illusion】
【Rarity: Rare】
【Energy Level: ???? (Tier 4)】
【Attributes】
【Strength +15 (Please Advance)】
【Agility +15 (Please Advance)】
【Magic +15 (Please Advance)】
【Special Passive 1: Talent and Effort】
【Special Passive 2: Infinite Potential】
Clearly, her dream of infinitely stacking attributes was dashed.
At least until this card advanced, she wouldn’t gain any more stats.
【Promotion Adventure (Deluxe Edition): In a way, being constantly peeked at is just another form of charm, isn’t it?】
【Promotion Adventure: Without actively reminding them, have the target person peek at this equipment a total of 1,999 times (211/1,999)】
【Can be voluntarily abandoned】
【Think carefully before abandoning!】
【Think carefully before abandoning!】
【Otherwise, the next mission’s difficulty will increase!】
211 times?
Since when?
At most, she’d only had this card for a month.
Averaging out, that meant seven peeks a day?
Su Qi, are you even human?
Even so…
At this rate, it would still take ten months for the card to advance…
Should she accept it?
A little conflicted…
Wait, no—what was she even hesitating about?
If it were her brother peeking 2,000 times, fine—but Su Qi? No way.
Let the difficulty increase then.
Besides, this mission didn’t even seem that hard to begin with…
After running through this mental process, she finally met Su Qi’s gaze. "What is it?"
"And, Su Qi, stop staring at my legs."
Su Qi immediately shot up from the couch in protest. "I wasn’t looking!"
(212/1,999)
Liu Yuan glanced at her mission prompt, her expression deadpan, almost amused. "Really?"
Su Qi, of course, was adamant. "What’s there to see with your skinny arms and legs? I prefer big-chested, mature women."
(213/1,999)
Despite the quick progress…
"Abandon."
Of course, Su Qi wasn’t peeking because he found her particularly attractive.
It just felt… familiar.
Like the pictures Xiao Yuanwei had sent him.
But then again, white stockings all looked pretty similar anyway.
It wasn’t like they had some special lettering or branding.
Not wanting to dwell on the topic, Su Qi tossed his phone onto the coffee table in front of the couch.
"Take a look at this."
Liu Yuan didn’t respond but sat down about half a meter away from him, picking up his phone and focusing on the screen.
It showed footage of an entranceway, followed by close-ups of a pair of siblings’ faces.
She glanced at the progress bar—the video’s title seemed to be "Fate’s Sky."
So… why was Su Qi showing her this?
Just as she was about to keep watching, Su Qi suddenly leaped up from the couch. "Holy—"
He snatched the phone back and swiped to another image. "Don’t go snooping through my phone!"
Liu Yuan corrected him. "This was already open when you threw it down."
Su Qi thought for a second—yeah, he must’ve accidentally tapped something when he let go. Thank goodness he reacted fast; the stuff after that wasn’t exactly kid-friendly.
He just wanted to drop the subject. "Sign the guardian agreement."
Liu Yuan frowned. The only guardian agreement she could sign at this point was probably related to the Origin Realm.
"You’re going into the Origin Realm as my guardian?"
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.

close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
