Maomao froze instantly: "???"
This... was this also from a movie or novel?
She had absolutely no recollection of it.
"Bin's high school grades weren't great..."
It sounded like such an unremarkable line.
Could it be some obscure detail from a novel?
But during their duel, both sides had mostly been quoting iconic lines and passages.
Casual phrases like "Have you eaten yet?" or "Hello, see you tomorrow!" were automatically excluded from the question pool.
Had Yu... really not violated the unspoken rules?
The next moment.
Maomao, her brows furrowed, observed the reactions of the spectators and realized—she was done for...
Huang Feirong: "Oh no, oh no! What defeated Maomao wasn't innocence—it was sheer cunning!"
Chi Qingchi: "Huh? Lin Yu is so sneaky, using a niche novel like this. Ugh, there goes my five bucks!"
Chi Qingshui: "Huh? Qingchi, you’ve read it? What novel is it?"
Chi Qingchi quickly averted her gaze: "I... I haven’t read it either."
Chi Qingshui: "Not willing to say, huh? Does Xiaofu-jie know?"
Ye Mengfu immediately lowered her head, shaking it lightly: "N-no... I haven’t read it."
Fang Xinran: "Even geniuses fear the eccentric ones."
Tang Yimian: "Well... that’s not wrong. But both of them are amazing, remembering so much. No wonder Junior Lin Yu has such a talent for writing."
Shen Jiuyi: "Wow, reading really does broaden your horizons."
Shen Buyao: "Just shut your mouth already!"
"..."
Lin Yu smiled faintly, clasping his hands behind his back as he walked up to Maomao.
Time for the victor’s closing remarks.
He leaned down politely and whispered to her:
"Maomao, as I said before..."
"It’s not that you’re weak—it’s that I’m just too strong."
"You see me as a mayfly beholding the vast sky."
Maomao clenched her tiny fists, her eyes brimming with defiance.
She’d lost.
Even though the questions in the app were designed by her.
Even though they were randomly drawn from her own question bank.
She’d still lost!
Didn’t that mean...
Lin Yu’s previous wins hadn’t been flukes at all?
She was just that outmatched.
Maomao took a deep breath, steadying herself before speaking:
"I lost this time..."
"But next time, I’ll definitely win!"
"I’ll figure out where I went wrong and study everything related to it."
"Next time, you won’t catch me off guard again."
The moment she said this, several people in the room exchanged subtle glances.
Not just memorizing the "problem content," but also studying "everything related" to it?
Sigh.
Another pure soul was about to be lost to the world.
As for those who had no idea about Bin’s high school grades, their first thought was...
"Boss Ying’er, aren’t you going to hand out red packets?"
"Heh, good thing I put my faith in Senior Lin Yu."
"Next time there’s a competition like this, count us in!"
"..."
Watching Ying’er scatter money left and right, Lin Yu still felt a lingering itch for more.
He waved to interrupt the crowd waiting for their red packets and announced:
"Why wait for next time?"
"It’s not even mealtime yet—how about another round?"
The first to perk up was naturally Maomao, fresh off her defeat.
She scurried over to Lin Yu, eyes sparkling with anticipation:
"Yu, if we go again, I won’t lose this time!"
Getting two chances to challenge Lin Yu in one day?
To Maomao, it was like celebrating New Year’s early.
Ying’er, seeing this, joined in the teasing:
"Hehe, Xiao Yu, if we draw another question, you might not win so easily!"
"Everyone saw how strong Maomao is—you only barely scraped by last time."
Lin Yu could tell this was Ying’er’s attempt at reverse psychology.
She was worried he’d change his mind on a whim.
But neither she nor Maomao realized Lin Yu’s true intentions.
Doing the same challenge twice? Where was the fun in that?
Besides.
Dueling Maomao even once was exhausting!
This time, they’d competed on movies and novels, and he’d managed to exploit her weak spot.
But if they switched topics and he had no loopholes to exploit, they might end up competing until their lips turned white from exhaustion.
Lin Yu wasn’t about to fall for such a trap.
His mind was on something else entirely.
The [Void Array Talisman]’s effects lasted three hours!
Since he’d already used it, he might as well get his money’s worth.
He’d already memorized all the move lists for the characters in Yu Yu Hakusho, thanks to his photographic memory.
This time, his target was... Shen Jiuyi!
"Xiao Jiu, how about a few rounds of Yu Yu Hakusho?"
"I’d like to see if I can win back what Ying’er lost to you..."
Shen Jiuyi’s gaze froze: "???"
He was coming for her?
Hadn’t Lin Yu just said he wasn’t good enough to play?
Did beating Maomao give him some kind of inflated confidence?
When it came to real-life matters, Shen Jiuyi might be clueless.
But when it came to gaming—especially classic retro games—
Even a pro like Ying’er was no match for her.
A mere Lin Yu?
This was the perfect chance to settle the score after her earlier embarrassment.
[Ding!]
[Heaven-defying move! The Saint stands up for his Dao Companion, stirring the heart of the Array Hall Elder!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]
Hearing Lin Yu’s words, Ying’er was the first to react.
She rushed over and grabbed his arm:
"Xiao Yu, you’re the best!"
"Next time something good comes up, I’ll think of you first."
"But Xiao Jiu is insanely skilled—are you sure you can win?"
To add some suspense—and to mislead the betting crowd—
Lin Yu put on a solemn expression and said:
"I don’t know if I can win, but I’ll do my best!"
"After all... I’m really not that good at this game."
Shen Jiuyi studied his microexpressions, and alarm bells rang in her head.
This was bad.
That was the face of someone "playing dumb to eat the tiger"!
Was Lin Yu secretly a gaming prodigy?
Even so.
Shen Jiuyi didn’t believe she could lose.
In the world of gaming, she’d met plenty of so-called geniuses—
And they all called her the genius!
"Even if you’re a gold medalist today, I won’t go easy on you."
Shen Jiuyi took the initiative, plopping onto the couch and picking up a controller.
Lin Yu, seeing this, didn’t hesitate to join her.
Maomao stood behind the couch, visibly disappointed.
She’d thought she’d get a chance to redeem herself, but it was just wishful thinking.
Glancing at her phone, she muttered:
"Strange, why aren’t Wei and Shan here yet?"
"They’re already ten minutes late."
Lin Yu overheard her grumbling and thought to himself:
What, are they takeout?
"Ten minutes late"?!
But halfway through the thought, he suddenly realized something was off...
It made sense for Nurse Wei to be late—she never had any sense of time.
But Curator Shan wasn’t the type to be tardy...

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)
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?!
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?"
