“See you later, feel free to contact me anytime,” Chen Han said and strode towards the elevator.
He would regret these words later.
Zhao Yan asked, “Where are you going?”
“The second floor is the Point Mall. I'm going to check how many Life Points I earned this time. You don't need to come since you definitely didn't get any points,” Chen Han waved his hand without turning his head.
Zhao Yan hurried to catch up. Although he also felt that he didn't get any points, it didn't stop him from going to the second floor to see things. He was very curious about the Point Mall.
Upon entering the second floor, Zhao Yan was stunned. The second floor was as spacious as the first floor, like a square. There were many floating light screens in the square, displaying all kinds of goods, dizzyingly spectacular.
Infinite Bullet Pistol: 30 points.
Memory Clearance Card: 50 points.
Resurrection Card: 1000 points.
Mind Reading Technique: 100 points.
Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms, Bad Luck Talisman...
From a piece of candy to various skills, props and martial arts manuals, everything was available.
Zhao Yan was filled with indescribable shock.
“Shocked silly, huh? I had the same reaction the first time I came,” Chen Han patted him on the shoulder and shook his head, “There are quite a few treasures here, but most are irrelevant to us since points are too hard to obtain.”
Then, he casually walked to a floating light screen and said, "Query details of point settlement."
The goods on the screen disappeared. Rows of words began to appear.
[Querying... Member Name: Chen Han. In a recent exchange, you completed the life challenge of helping someone else go to the teacher's office, and with solid financial knowledge, you became a campus celebrity that even professors actively sought advice from. You have successfully made the other person's life more remarkable, earning 5 points for a total balance of 9 points.]
A trace of a smile appeared on Chen Han's face. Earning 5 points so easily was pretty good.
"Can I use any light screen?" Zhao Yan asked, pointing to the floating light screens.
Chen Han was in a good mood and patiently explained, "Yes, you can try even though you didn't earn points. Get familiar first."
Zhao Yan imitated, "Query details of point settlement."
Chen Han smiled as he watched, as if seeing his novice self back in the day.
He's exactly like me back then!
[Querying... Member Name: Zhao Yan. In a recent exchange, the life challenges you helped resolve are: 1. Successfully re-establish cooperation between Binhai International and Hanjiang Group; 2. Remove the mole from the company. You did not make the other person's life more remarkable, earning 10 points for a total balance of 10 points.]
Chen Han's smile froze as his mouth gaped incredulously at Zhao Yan.
He had an expression like he'd seen a ghost ヾ(Ő∀Ő)ノ!
BGM: We're not the same, not the same...
"How...how did you do it? You're a newbie, just an ordinary college student!" Chen Han's voice suddenly rose by several decibels.
Zhao Yan was also baffled, "I don't know! I just operated normally: first do this, then do that. Is this your life challenge? But how is this even challenging? This just takes hands to resolve, right?"
When he signed the agreement, he didn't even read Chen Han's life challenges because he felt he couldn't resolve any. Reading them would've been pointless.
But unexpectedly, he had inadvertently resolved two of the challenges.
Chen Han felt humiliated yet couldn't find words to retort. He could only silently hide his hands behind his back. His hands had lost face.
So now they were too embarrassed to show themselves.
"You...you're a genius," Chen Han finally squeezed out after a long pause. This was his first time seeing a novice earn more than him, a veteran.
Upon hearing the exclamations and gasps, someone dissatisfiedly said, "It's just 10 points. What's with the fuss? Where's your class?"
"Bro, he's a newbie," Chen Han explained to the middle-aged man.
"So what if he's a newbie? F*ck, so fierce as a newbie!" The middle-aged man who had scolded Chen Han and Zhao Yan earlier jumped up, yelling even louder.
The others on the second floor were also dumbfounded, looking at Zhao Yan in astonishment. The pot exploded.
"That's right, I remember him! He just joined last week! How did he accomplish this?!"
"Yeah, just the descriptions show these challenges involve cutthroat power struggles. Complex stuff! He's a newbie without any props, how did he resolve them?!"
"F*ck! His profile shows he's a student. Students today are so capable?!"
"I've embarrassed the student demographic. I'm not fit to be a student. I'll drop out when I get back!"
"Bro, no need to go that far," Zhao Yan said to that guy shouting about dropping out.
Soon, everyone knew that an incredibly capable newbie had joined the club, earning 10 Life Points in his first exchange.
Zhao Yan felt helpless in the spotlight. He was actually someone who preferred keeping a low profile!
"You praise me too much. This is just my basic operation. I didn't even try hard, just got it done casually," facing the praise and awe, Zhao Yan smiled and indicated it was merely basic skills, no need to make a fuss.
After everyone dispersed, he sighed wistfully, "I wanted to keep lowkey. Who knew outstanding people are like the bright moon in the dark night: even darkness cannot obscure their brilliance. Annoying."
"Is this vegetation I see before me?" The corner of Chen Han's mouth twitched.
Zhao Yan shook his head at him, "I knew an average person like you wouldn't understand the pain of geniuses. Sometimes I really envy you for never experiencing the unique distress of genius."
"Indeed, human sorrow and joy do not intermingle. They feel I'm amazing but I only find them noisy. *sigh*"
"Grass is a kind of plant," Chen Han taught Zhao Yan a well-known fact.
Then he directly left the club.
He really didn't want to keep watching this senior-level poser continue pretending. Simply inhuman with that level of pretentiousness!
Were you a woman's underwear in your past life?!
Watching his departing back, Zhao Yan shook his head again, "Left without even saying bye, naughty chap."
Next, he rubbed his hands in anticipation and excitement, "What can 10 points buy?"
"Quite a lot," a soft husky voice sounded. Zhao Yan turned to see the clear-eyed and white-toothed, graceful and charming, Susu the manager.
Her light green cropped tank top paired with a black pleated skirt and black stockings, plus the white hair on her head, looked like a female lead straight out of a manga. After all, who wouldn't be interested in white hair?
Zhao Yan was very curious whether only her hair was white. This had to be investigated thoroughly.
"Miss Susu, what brings you here?"
"I heard a very remarkable newbie emerged so I came to see. Unexpectedly it's you. Do you need help with anything?" Susu gave a charming smile.
Zhao Yan naturally wouldn't decline, "I want to learn more about the club. Thanks for your trouble."
"No trouble at all. Come with me, I'll give you an introduction as we tour. You can decide what to buy after getting a full understanding," Susu smiled and turned to lead the way.
Zhao Yan hurriedly followed, "Thank you!"
"Let me briefly introduce the club. First floor is the Exchange Hall. Second floor is Point Mall. Third floor is the restaurant area. Fourth floor has entertainment and recreation. Fifth floor is the residence area. Sixth and seventh floor are staff-only areas, off-limits to members."
"For Point Mall goods you can't fully purchase, you can choose rental. If you can't find something you want to buy, tell the second floor staff and they will help source it out for you..."
As Susu spoke, Zhao Yan followed her on a tour of the five floors members could access. It greatly broadened his horizons, especially the recreational area on the fourth floor which astonishingly even had brothels!
He also discovered the spaces here were massive, seeming endlessly extendable. Indescribably mystical.
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
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!"
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
iving with nine beautiful women. [Ding! Welcome back to the Joyous Sect, Host…] Lin Yu: ??? I’m clearly in a shared rental, but you’re saying I’m in the Joyous Sect? Watering plants is now [Tending to Spiritual Flora]? Cooking becomes [Researching Elixirs]? Making the bed turns into [Setting Up Formations]? A gentle and innocent auntie, twin classmates, a mysterious hacker girl on leave, a severely socially anxious artist, an elementary school Chinese teacher, a community hospital nurse, a pet shop owner, an antique clock restorer… This system… is kinda interesting.
