Yan Miaozhu had only executed half of her smooth little routine.
After the praise came the public reward segment...
"Lin Yu, starting this new semester, you'll be the photography class representative."
"You must take this responsibility seriously and help me supervise the progress of our classmates."
"Keep up the good work, my partner!"
"Come to my office after class to help me organize everyone's photos."
"New job starts today—let's give him a round of applause, everyone."
"..."
With that speech, the room immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause.
At the front row,
the minions of the "Flame Sea Demon Gang" cast pitiful and helpless glances at their former leader, Shi Yanhai.
When a new class representative emerges,
it naturally means the fall of the old one.
Unfortunately,
Shi Yanhai was that outdated model!
At this moment,
Shi Yanhai had completely lost his ability to be magnanimous and didn’t clap at all.
He just stared blankly at Teacher Yan on the podium.
A few days ago,
hadn’t Teacher Yan been so concerned about him? Didn’t she often chat with him about meals and drinks?
Back then, Shi Yanhai had felt like they were close friends.
He’d even foolishly confessed to her that he had feelings for Chi Qingshui!
And now, just days later,
a new favorite had already replaced the old?
In the back,
Chi Qingshui, standing beside Lin Yu, clapped vigorously,
exclaiming excitedly:
"Congratulations! Gold always shines through."
Lin Yu could only force a smile in response.
Shine?
More like about to be stripped bare!
The naive Chi Qingshui only saw potential threats among classmates.
But wasn’t the teacher also a woman?
Her perspective was still too narrow!
If she kept celebrating like this, Teacher Yan would soon be "handling" her boyfriend in the office!
For the rest of the class,
Lin Yu had no interest in continuing the "photo appreciation" session.
Instead, he pulled out his phone again, typing rapidly on the screen.
There was no choice.
She had already "singled him out" to go to her office.
If he didn’t prepare in advance and learn more about Teacher Yan’s situation,
he’d have no idea how to respond to the "enthusiastic teacher" once he got there.
Ever since mastering extreme cyber skills,
Lin Yu had always exercised restraint in using his privileges.
Human desire was boundless.
Overusing "superpowers" would only accelerate the expansion of those desires.
For now, he could still resist the urge to invade others' privacy, respecting the boundaries of those around him.
He only used his abilities when absolutely necessary.
Lin Yu believed his self-control surpassed 99% of his peers.
Otherwise, reckless abuse of power would turn him into a prisoner of his own cravings—a destructive monster devoid of respect and compassion!
Teacher Yan, oh Teacher Yan, you struck first. Don’t blame me for this.
After a few simple maneuvers,
Lin Yu effortlessly unlocked a vast trove of information.
To quickly understand someone’s recent activities,
starting with social apps like WeChat and QQ was never a bad idea.
However,
to truly grasp Yan Miaozhu’s world, two other apps on her phone needed attention:
Momo!
Tantan!
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Teacher Yan Miaozhu was this... comprehensive?
Tantan had only launched last month,
yet it was already among her most frequently used apps?
For the remainder of the class,
Lin Yu only regretted that the photo review session wasn’t longer—he barely scratched the surface of what he uncovered...
WeChat – Li (added via "Shake"): I’m serious—if it’s under two hours, I’ll send you 1,000 RMB for every minute short!
Yan Miaozhu: Hahaha, you’re hilarious. At that rate, you’d owe me hundreds of thousands!
...
WeChat – Zhang (added via "People Nearby"): You’re not a student at Pingchuan Normal, right? Doesn’t matter. Want to grab a meal sometime? My treat!
Yan Miaozhu: Maybe. Let’s see my schedule next week.
...
Momo – "Sad People Listen to Slow Songs": We don’t even know each other. I’d never interfere with your life. Isn’t happiness the point? Mutual enjoyment sounds perfect.
Yan Miaozhu: Feels like a trap. I’m not well-read—don’t trick me.
...
Momo – "Building Materials Fortune King": How about 3,000? Don’t misunderstand—it’s just a friendly greeting gift, nothing else.
Yan Miaozhu: Would your wife kill me if she found out?
...
Tantan – "Cold Rain": You’re so beautiful, sis. Seriously my type. Our cities aren’t far—can I visit you?
Yan Miaozhu: Not sure I’ll see you.
...
Zheng Changyuan: Miaozhu, what do you want for dinner? I’ll go buy groceries.
Yan Miaozhu: On a diet—just some greens. Hurry back, don’t dawdle.
Zheng Changyuan: Got it. After dinner, want to walk around the neighborhood?
Yan Miaozhu: I told you, colleagues from school live here. Let’s not.
...
Looking at Teacher Yan Miaozhu on the podium, then back at his phone,
the world had gone utterly mad. For a moment, Lin Yu even felt like he was the normal one.
Yan Miaozhu... what was she after?
Some kind of collector’s obsession?
Different styles, ages, statuses, models, sizes...
Did she need to sample them all to feel alive?
Damn!
Lin Yu was too conservative!
She was living life on another level.
At that moment,
the image of the middle-aged history teacher flashed through Lin Yu’s mind.
Who knew what cosmic crime he’d committed—in this life or the last—to deserve such a fate.
...
Once all groups’ photos were reviewed, the scores were announced on the spot.
Unsurprisingly, Lin Yu’s group took first place.
The gaps between other groups were mere decimal points or a single point.
But Lin Yu’s team scored a perfect 10—
a full two points ahead of second place!
Part of it was Yan Miaozhu’s special favor.
But with Lin Yu’s skills and the twins’ photogenic charm, who else could’ve topped them?
"Lin Yu, Little Chi and I will head to the cafeteria with Rourou and Chun Tian first."
"Teacher Yan asked you to help organize the photography assignments in her office, right?"
"While you’re gone, we can discuss the equipment borrowing details."
"Once you’re done, meet us in the cafeteria to finalize everything."
Chi Qingshui gathered the group and calmly laid out the plan.
They could chat leisurely,
but Lin Yu?
He was about to face a silent, grueling battle alone!
Some burdens, after all, only he could shoulder.
...
(Here's an extra update for you all. Good night, everyone! We'll continue the battle tomorrow. If you're interested, you can also check out the audiobook version with real voice acting. I've listened to some of the song-related content myself—the sound effects are quite nice. Thanks for your support!)
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)
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
spital. Good news: I've bound a system. Bad news: I'm still a baby. "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the middle-aged for being poor — Divorce Comeback System." "Your marriage may have failed, but your luck in love has never run dry. Your childhood sweetheart, out of contact for twenty years, reappears. Her beauty remains, yet her eyes are brimming with tears." [Listen to the childhood sweetheart's sorrowful story.] Chen Zhi looked down at the diaper he was wearing, then at the little childhood sweetheart crying her heart out beside him, and fell into deep thought. Can anyone relate? I'm having a midlife crisis at an age where even rolling over is a struggle.
