Chapter 52
"Sigh, I made so many careless mistakes, otherwise I would have scored six hundred,"
Gu Ran said in a sorrowful tone, though his words were a humblebrag.
Ye Zhenzhen: "???"
Six hundred?!
Her cold, clear eyes instinctively narrowed as she looked at the boy beside her with suspicion.
She paused, then said slowly, "Should we... go home and play some games for a bit?"
Play games?
Gu Ran blinked in confusion, turning his head to look at her in surprise. He asked, puzzled, "Why play games?"
"Um... no reason. I'm just worried that you're under too much stress."
Her clear eyes were full of concern. Ye Zhenzhen was genuinely worried that this guy had studied so hard he'd gone crazy and fried his brain.
Under too much... stress?
Gu Ran processed this for a moment, and his face instantly darkened. He said speechlessly, "Ye Zhenzhen, you don't believe me?!"
"Show some respect, call me Sister!"
Hearing him call her by her full name, Ye Zhenzhen didn't even think. She instinctively pouted and reached out her small foot to give him a light kick.
This guy had been getting more and more out of line lately, frequently calling her by her full name.
He was nothing like the obedient boy he was when they first met, making her feel that her dignity as an older sister was being severely violated.
"Pfft! As if I'd believe you. Tell me the truth, how much did you actually get?"
Ye Zhenzhen wouldn't believe he almost scored six hundred even if you beat her to death.
The average score of the advanced class was only a little over six hundred, and that was the result of three years of hard work.
But this guy used to be a two-or-three-hundred-point student. If he could score six hundred after just one month of hard work, how were people who studied diligently supposed to feel?
They might as well just not study at all and start cramming in the last hundred days of their senior year.
"Ye Zhenzhen, don't look down on people!"
Ye Zhenzhen: "???"
She froze upon hearing this, blinking her eyes in bewilderment and disbelief.
Did this guy just call her a dog?!
"You... you're rebelling against the natural order!"
She gritted her teeth, a flash of embarrassment and anger in her cold eyes, and stretched out her leg to kick the disrespectful guy again.
The two of them bickered and fought all the way home. Without even eating lunch, the triggered girl dragged Gu Ran straight into her bedroom.
"Oh my, why are you in such a rush!"
Gu Ran was yanked into the room. He frowned, reached up to adjust his collar, and then pretended to be serious as he spoke.
In a rush?
Coupled with his tone, Ye Zhenzhen felt like this guy had said something inappropriate again.
He just wouldn't stop, would he?
Her dignity as an older sister was being provoked time and time again. She couldn't help but bite her lip, glaring at him in humiliation and anger.
"What? Don't look at me like that. Please restrain yourself."
Seeing her fierce expression, Gu Ran raised an eyebrow. He wasn't scared in the slightest; instead, he found the contrast rather cute.
Seeing him act all coy while saying such terrible things, Ye Zhenzhen ground her teeth audibly.
"Gu 'Dog' Ran, have you ever heard of the Jiamusi grand sweep kick?!"
Gu Ran: "???"
The next second, rhythmic screams echoed through the girl's bedroom.
...
Too lazy to bother with a certain mentally unstable person, Ye Zhenzhen regained her unapproachable demeanor after venting her anger.
With an indifferent expression on her face, she reached into Gu Ran's backpack, pulled out his answer sheets, and began to look through them one by one.
She wouldn't have known if she hadn't looked, but once she did, she was startled.
The more she looked, the more shocked she became.
Math 94?
Not bad, not bad. He made progress and managed to pass!
Comprehensive Science 184?
Quite good, a huge improvement!
Chinese 102, pretty standard.
English... 146?!!
What was going on?!
Did he cheat?
She blinked, then rubbed her eyes in disbelief, looking as if she had seen a ghost.
"Hey, hey, what's with that expression?"
Noticing the look on the girl's face, Gu Ran frowned.
Why was she looking at him like she'd seen a ghost?
So what if he scored 54 on the last exam and 146 on this one? Was it really that outrageous?
Basic operation, just basic operation, no need to be amazed.
Furthermore, he felt that if he hadn't accidentally used a few obscure vocabulary words during the essay section, his score probably would have been even higher.
After all, of the four points he lost, three were deducted from the essay.
But it couldn't be helped. Although his English was good in his past life, the vocabulary he was most familiar with was related to the IT industry.
It wasn't obvious when doing multiple-choice questions, but as soon as he wrote an essay, it was easy to slip in some words never seen in high school.
Even though the teachers at First High were great, they probably hadn't seen many of the words he used, so they might have just marked them as incorrect.
"Did you... really score this yourself?"
Holding the English answer sheet, she examined it left and right, still somewhat unable to believe it.
"What else? Look at this essay. If I didn't write it myself, could I have hired a ghostwriter?"
Gu Ran felt helpless against Ye Zhenzhen's doubts.
Who could blame her when his score increase in this subject was so terrifying?
But he never thought about controlling his score. After all, if he didn't perform well in English, he really wouldn't have had the confidence to score over five hundred.
And if he didn't score over five hundred, how could he make a demand of this girl, Ye Zhenzhen?
At the same time, Ye Zhenzhen remembered that the guy in front of her could make games. She had seen his development process, with the screen full of English code, so she somewhat accepted this reality.
She couldn't help but sigh softly. The motivation of a hobby truly was infinite, making someone who hated studying force himself to master English just to make games.
She attributed the reason for Gu Ran's excellent English to his desire to develop games.
Then, she silently calculated Gu Ran's total score. With a quick addition, she found that it had indeed exceeded five hundred points—he scored exactly five hundred and twenty-six.
Remembering that she had promised to grant him one request if he scored over five hundred, her cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly red.
She had intended to pretend not to mention it and forget the whole thing, but in the next second, Gu Ran asked, "Ye Zhenzhen, looking at your face, you're not planning to go back on your word, are you?"
Ye Zhenzhen: "!!!"
Her cold eyes shrank, as if he had hit the nail on the head.
Lacking confidence, Ye Zhenzhen nevertheless retorted loudly, "Who... who wants to go back on their word? It's just promising you one request. Don't assume everyone is as stingy as you are, okay?!"
It was as if speaking louder made her feel more confident.
Gu Ran: "???"
He hadn't even mentioned what she might be going back on, and this girl had already outed herself?
A suicide bomber, huh?!
Alright, alright. He had noticed her expression was off earlier, and it turned out she really was thinking about reneging on her promise.
"I've made my decision!"
He suddenly spoke up, startling the guilty girl opposite him.
"What... what have you decided?"
Ye Zhenzhen blinked, her usually indifferent face now showing a hint of unnaturalness.
"My request is..."
Gu Ran spoke slowly, and the girl's emotions fluctuated along with his words. Her pretty face gradually flushed crimson, who knows what she was imagining.
"Go watch a movie with me."
Watch a movie?
Ye Zhenzhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. However, Gu Ran added another sentence, and her heart instantly leaped into her throat again...
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
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.
