Meanwhile...
On a secluded lawn at school,
Su Cheng stood face-to-face with a girl who had long, straight black hair. Their gazes were locked on each other, as if they were about to perform some sacred ritual. The atmosphere was incredibly tense!
"Will you go out with me?"
Su Cheng blurted out without any hesitation or delay.
"As if you're worthy!"
The black-haired girl picked up a book and started reading, then furrowed her brows and sneered, her eyes showing contempt. Finally, she spoke in an exaggerated manner: "How dare you dream of dating me? Do you even know who I am? I am the future heir of Jiang City's most prominent family, the Tang Family, and the younger sister of the Tang Corporation's CEO. You're just a mere student, yet you dare to dream of dating me? You're like a toad trying to eat swan meat - absolutely delusional!"
However, her face turned slightly red after saying these words because such speech completely contradicted her actual personality. But due to the strange preferences of the person before her, she had to act against her natural character.
Since she wasn't actually good at insulting people, she had gone to the library to look for books but couldn't find any about how to properly insult someone.
In the end, the librarian recommended a book from her personal collection.
"Enough, that's intense enough!"
Su Cheng quickly put on a placating expression and waved his hands repeatedly: "That was perfect, I'm completely satisfied. I'm so excited I need to go run a few laps."
Then he turned and ran away, his speed surprisingly fast, disappearing from the girl's sight in the blink of an eye.
Li Guanqi maintained her expressionless face, though a hint of confusion flashed in the depths of her eyes, but only for a moment. She then looked at the book in her hand and sat back down on the lawn to continue reading.
Meanwhile...
Su Cheng ran quickly from the lawn and went straight to a bathroom. He supported himself against the wall, breathing heavily, then sat on the toilet, his whole body relaxing as his eyes filled with excitement.
"What will the reward be?"
Thinking this, he focused his consciousness on the system panel.

"?"
Every time Su Cheng saw the character panel, a big question mark would appear above his head.
This time, however, it was a mix of half confusion and half anger, making it difficult for him to calm down.
Why did Li Guanqi have to be blacklisted?
Just because he could exploit a bug, the system changed the rules overnight?
Su Cheng grew increasingly angry, having never felt this upset before, even finding the system somewhat detestable.
[Ding—]
[Due to unspecified rules]
[This A-level reward has been upgraded to S-level]
[Rules have been updated]
[Ding—]
[Random reward has been distributed]
"Phew~"
Su Cheng felt slightly better hearing this, though still somewhat dissatisfied.
"Let's check the reward first."
Su Cheng opened the character panel and upon seeing its contents, he froze for a moment, then his face showed utter disbelief as his eyes gradually reddened.
This was a complex mixture of excitement, confidence, agitation, emotion, happiness, and various other feelings.
[Deus Ex Machina]
[One-time skill]
[Effect: System forced intervention]
[System: When the plot becomes stuck and difficulties seem insurmountable, the system will arrange for powerful forces/items/abilities to solve the problem, creating unexpected plot twists.]
[System: I believe I understand rewards, no system understands rewards better than me!]
"No... I want lychee!"
Su Cheng's face turned red as he pinched his thigh hard. The pain helped clear his mind, and he quickly closed the reward window and closed his eyes to take a deep breath.
What did this skill mean?
It meant that he didn't need to fear even if a nuclear bomb was thrown at his face.
This was a ultimate life-saving skill!
And according to the system's description, even if he were to face the entire world as an enemy,
Using this skill card, the system could resolve it.
It was too overpowered, too much of a bug!
So Su Cheng's heart was racing wildly now, his nails digging into his palms until they bled, his forehead covered in sweat, his eyes wide open, staring intently at the small water droplet on the door in the corner. His heartbeat kept accelerating, his breathing became rapid, his heart feeling like it might jump out of his throat.
"Drip~"
The water droplet fell to the ground, and Su Cheng stood up, his eyes filled with determination.
Confidence burned throughout his body as Su Cheng strode out of the bathroom.
This change came from the skill he had just received; he was now in a state of extreme excitement.
This was the feeling of confidence.
He wouldn't fear even facing thousands of troops.
Because now he could solve any problem!
So, after leaving the bathroom, Su Cheng headed straight for the school store.
He had something to do - this reward came to him because of Li Guanqi.
And Li Guanqi, to help him this time,
Hadn't gone to the cafeteria for lunch.
Instead, she had borrowed a book from the library and waited for him on the lawn.
Therefore, he should prepare lunch for Li Guanqi.
Along the way, Su Cheng walked with his head held high, his steps light, with a slight sway in his stride.
He arrived at the school supermarket entrance
This supermarket was comparable to a shopping mall.
It was a two-story building that looked very classical and elegant, surrounded by various flowers and plants, with a subtle fragrance floating in the air that was refreshing and intoxicating.
It was very well-stocked.
The supermarket wasn't empty, mostly filled with students and teachers, though most young people were buying snacks or fruits.
Su Cheng entered the supermarket and headed straight for the dessert section.
The character profile had told him that Li Guanqi liked desserts.
This was his first time here.
He stopped in front of rows of dessert shelves, staring at the dazzling array of fruits and cakes.
His gaze finally settled on the most expensive chocolate cake in the glass containers, carefully examining it with the belief that you get what you pay for.
"What would you like to order?"
A sales clerk warmly greeted him.
Su Cheng looked up with a slight smile on his face, pointing at the items in the counter: "I'll take a slice of this cake and a fresh milk."

He is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second? That’s six hundred thousand years a minute, and in one day… I can’t even calculate it. Either way, I’m already invincible!” You’re a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re an undying ancestor who has guarded a sacred land for countless ages? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re the strongest chosen one, blessed with heaven-defying destiny? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”

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.
