The meeting point for departure was exactly at the parking lot of the Mysterious International Student Art Development Center, right in front of the entrance where the lecture was held last night.
In other words, the parking lot filled with the 56E luxury cars of the successful senior alumni.
Su Bai couldn't help but suspect that gathering here was to let the pure junior schoolgirls participating in the camping trip intuitively witness the strength of the senior alumni once again... Oh wait, not pure.
How could truly pure girls flirt with these people...
It was nothing more than the service industry disguised as purity.
But then again, maybe the senior alumni just liked this type, and the junior schoolgirls were also enjoying it. After all, how should I put it, in today's job market, based on the average salary of college students in Jiangcheng, for some liberal arts graduates, instead of desperately competing for a job, it really is better to find a ready-made high-salary man and directly compete in marriage.
It's a case of one willing to hit and one willing to be hit.
Su Bai felt it was understandable. Including this new girl Xue Tao brought, Huang Ran, she was obviously after Xue Tao's family background. Anyone with a normal intellect could see this. Only Xue Tao himself probably felt that his personal charm was at work.
But still, even if it's faked, as long as both parties have professional ethics, they can have a good time. There isn't much truth in romance these days anyway.
On the other hand, the vibe between Chu Mingzhe and the landmine girl looked a bit strange.
Arriving at the crowded location, Chu Mingzhe kept comforting her, but with little effect. The landmine girl's emotional state was consistently poor. Su Bai figured this chick was probably the type to push her luck; the more Old Chu comforted her, the more she acted up, just like a child in a public place—the more the parent coaxes, the louder they cry.
Thank goodness we didn't team up with these people, thank goodness.
So Su Bai couldn't help but turn his gaze to the biggest amusement of the day.
Xue Tao + Normal University scheming girl vs. Liu Yuanyuan + show-off vice president of the outdoor association, do you know?
Ho ho ho, this is really a rare showdown.
Two electric buses were parked quietly by the side of the road. Seeing this, everyone found their respective teammates and prepared to board.
The vice president's figure was obviously taller and bigger than Xue Tao's.
This is very normal. After all, the average height of young people these days is generally higher than the older generation, and Xue Tao is considered short even among the older generation...
Being looked down upon by the senior, Xue Tao was very unhappy and immediately showed a resolute look in his eyes.
"Oh, I remember now, you're the senior who asked Yuanyuan out for dinner last time, nice to meet you." Xue Tao took the initiative to shake hands with the senior, smiling on his face but holding bad intentions, preparing to increase his grip strength when shaking hands to crush him.
"Haha, you're Yuanyuan's boyfriend, nice to meet you!" The senior emphasized the word "boyfriend," fully revealing his disdainful attitude.
It's a male competition right here.
The hands of the two fellow Daoists clasped together, both exerting all their strength.
To think they had the exact same idea.
However, both of them were rather weak. Even though they exerted force at the same time, the actual strength was just so-so. It was a mutual pecking between weaklings, hard to tell who was better.
Beside them, the atmosphere between Liu Yuanyuan and Huang Ran was also not very friendly.
It's really hard to be friendly!
On Liu Yuanyuan's side, although she was riding a donkey while looking for a horse, the horse hadn't landed yet, so the donkey still had to keep working. In fact, Liu Yuanyuan's ideal state in her heart was to have a foot in two boats.
As a result, Huang Ran suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
In terms of looks, she didn't lose to her... No, no, I, Liu Yuanyuan, have the temperament bonus of an intellectual, independent woman from a prestigious 985 university, so it's actually a tie, maybe even a slight win for Liu Yuanyuan.
But this Huang Ran was indeed flirty. In the dead of winter, she was wearing a pair of black silk pantyhose, and it wasn't even leggings, just relatively thin pantyhose.
"You're so amazing, being able to wear pantyhose in such cold weather. If it were me, I'd definitely freeze to death."
"Hahaha, it's alright..."
"My mom told me not to mess around just because I'm young and not afraid of the cold. When I get older and my knees are freezing and uncomfortable, and I can't walk, I'll regret it."
"Hehe, there are solutions for when you're older too. Right now, it's better to take advantage of youth and enjoy life." Huang Ran blinked. "I think Xue Tao should also enjoy life more. Look how hard he works at school usually, you still need to care about him more~"
You green tea bitch, are you telling me what to do??
"Oh, actually it's not that hard. His major is okay. If you don't fiercely compete for a postgraduate recommendation, just coping with the coursework is actually easier than liberal arts majors."
"Eh, really? In our subject mathematics major, there's a girl who wants to transfer to computer science. I see her running to the Jiangnan University lab every day, so busy, and she has to self-study a lot of things online."
"That's because she works hard. My Xue Tao doesn't need to work that hard. Sigh, just lying flat is fine, anyway, he has some capital."
"Ah hahaha..."
During the crossfire, they occasionally dragged Xue Tao into it, leaving the kid stunned.
No, sis, how did you just directly exclude me from the postgraduate recommendation?
I already said my midterm exam was a mess, that was an unplanned accident. This final exam, I, Brother Tao, am going to fiercely turn it around!
But he couldn't say this explicitly. Saying it out loud would expose the fact that he was (temporarily) a poor student, showing weakness in front of the senior.
Damn it, is this senior sick in the head?
Why is he staring at someone else's girlfriend trying to steal her!
Su Bai watched these four acting like it was a stage play from the side, calling it thrilling.
Quack! This is exactly what I wanted to see!
[Ding! A wonderful morning, watching the roommate's emotional tear-down drama, rewarded with 50,000 yuan in cash, and +5 to brain attributes!]
Buzz—
Su Bai felt a burst of clarity, his brain upgraded!
Looking at the system panel, right now, Su Bai's brain attribute had reached 95 points, on the verge of the 100-point mark of the first tier of humanity.
Feeling the current situation, even without using the system's indulgence compensation function, just hugging a textbook and studying hard, he might even get a perfect score.
In fact, the course difficulty at Jiangcheng University is not high.
At least compared to those prestigious 985 universities known for their "strict kung fu" and rigorous teaching, Jiangnan University is actually quite friendly.
So Su Bai always believed that Brother Tao's intelligence definitely had a problem...
Whether a student can get into a relatively good university actually has nothing to do with their performance in university.
The college entrance examination is a massive dose of repetitive training, mainly focusing on not making mistakes in the exam after being well-trained.
University is another mode. Every semester, there are several completely unfamiliar courses, requiring students to quickly master new knowledge.
Considering the students' actual learning curve, this "quickly" actually most likely refers to the week before the exam...
It's completely different from the abilities required for the college entrance examination.
Just like a runner and a weightlifter, the two are not interchangeable. You can force it and say they both belong to sports, but essentially they are vastly different.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
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.
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
