(Oh no, I just remembered I still have a character design image. The author's level isn't high enough to post images in the main text, so I'll put it in the comments section of this post.)
Su Qi felt he was genuinely sincere in seeking advice.
So why did she get angry?
Who was the one who just solemnly told him she had a boyfriend and that he should mind his boundaries?
What if some 18-year-old hot-blooded guy suddenly popped out of nowhere and tried to pick a fight with him?
Should he fight back or just take the beating?
If he fought back, he’d already be somewhat in the wrong, and winning would just mean having to pay compensation.
But taking the beating?
Could Su Qi endure such humiliation?
From the day he was born until now, even his own father had never laid a hand on him.
It never happened before, and it never would in the future.
Just as Su Qi was about to stand up—
Something bizarre happened.
[Debuff: Energy Drain]
[Equivalent Exchange: Have a cute girl help restore your confidence (In progress, current completion: 33%)]
Hey, hey, hey!
Are you blind or what?
Liu Yuan = cute girl?
But…
He did feel a bit of confidence swelling in his chest.
Su Qi fell into a brief dilemma.
Would this be betraying Little Iris?
Well, maybe not…
It’s not like there was any direct physical contact.
Oh no…
Did he have the makings of a scumbag?
But if Su Qi had to endure months of energy drain, wouldn’t that be…
It’s all this damn talent’s fault.
Borrowing power from "Him" came at too steep a price.
Once he found someone to blame, Su Qi’s guilt instantly lightened.
He started rationalizing to himself: I’ll get up as soon as the task is done!
But soon, a new problem arose.
He’d probably have to get up to complete the task.
Though, the two didn’t necessarily conflict.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"Where’s my reward?"
[It’s been sent?]
"Where?"
[…]
[……]
[Su Qi’s favorability toward Liu Yuan’s identity +1]
[Current favorability: 30/82 (Friendly/Wife Material)]
Wait—
Su Qi’s favorability toward her was already at 30?
Seriously?
And hold on—
You’re just an equipment card, how do you even have this function?
But…
It’s unexpectedly nice?
Let’s put it this way: if you could see favorability levels, what kind of girl couldn’t you charm, dear handsome readers?
Liu Yuan was about to get up when she realized the equipment she was wearing was still clutched in Su Qi’s hand.
Just that slight delay triggered another notification.
[Su Qi’s favorability toward Liu Yuan’s identity +1]
…You can farm favorability like this?
And so, the two fell into an eerie synchronization.
I’m farming favorability, what are you waiting for, bro? Get up already!
I’m waiting for the task, what are you dawdling for, brat? Get up already!
[Delight +666]
……
Finally, after some indescribable twists and turns, Su Qi’s task progress reached 100%.
He was back in action!
[Debuff: Energy Drain (Removed)]
The moment the debuff lifted, Liu Yuan’s expression shifted from confusion to—once again—turning into a blushing mess.
She practically leaped off Su Qi in an instant.
[Delight +666]
"I-I… I’m going to sleep now."
Liu Yuan fled to her hammock like her life depended on it.
Su Qi didn’t dare say a word either.
Silently, he retreated to his own hammock.
This repair fee might have been a bit… excessive.
Inside the tent, an awkward silence settled in.
It almost felt like things were back to how they were before the incident.
The only difference was that this time, Liu Yuan wasn’t facing away from Su Qi.
Su Qi pulled out his phone.
The glow from the screen illuminated his face.
[Sleepyhead: Little Iris, Little Iris, I miss you.]
They say midnight confessions are proof of a guilty conscience.
Liu Yuan felt her phone vibrate and pulled it out as well.
The screen’s light cast a glow on her face too.
There they were, lying barely a meter apart, facing each other, both clutching their phones.
[Iris: What’s wrong, gege? I miss you too.]
[Iris: Cat Ambush Sticker]
[Delight +666]
Su Qi glanced at the time on his phone.
2:30 AM.
He typed again.
[Sleepyhead: Why are you still awake at this hour, Little Iris?]
Wait—
Little Iris was still awake at this hour?!
Some overlooked details began surfacing in his mind.
Why did Delight trigger just now?
Because of post-misdeed guilt?
Shouldn’t it have triggered when he first sent the message?
Come to think of it, some of the earlier notifications didn’t quite add up either.
[Iris: Cat Playing Dumb Sticker]
Su Qi kept typing.
[Sleepyhead: Did something dangerous happen?]
He watched as Liu Yuan, on the opposite hammock, furiously tapped at her phone.
[Iris: Not at all, gege, don’t worry. A-Yuan feels perfectly safe.]
[Sleepyhead: What time is it now?]
[Iris: 2!]
Su Qi’s eyes widened in horror—he had just seen Liu Yuan tap her phone three times before sending that.
So he deliberately stopped messaging.
Sure enough, Liu Yuan just held her phone without typing.
After a minute, Su Qi sent another message.
[Sleepyhead: Let me see…]
[Iris: Legs?]
Su Qi broke out in a cold sweat.
He had just witnessed Liu Yuan tap her phone five times before hitting send.
No…
No way…?
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
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." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
