Then again, you actually get rewards for just enjoying some gossip?
Feels like the System isn't very strict.
Of course, Su Bai liked a lax system. If the system were strict, how could he slack off and reap the benefits?
But then again, this gossip was truly juicy.
Who would have thought that Xue Tao would encounter a romantic bloodbath, even though the two women causing this love triangle were at a level where Su Bai wouldn't even bother looking at them if they threw themselves at him...
It wasn't that they were ugly.
To be fair, Huang Ran and Liu Yuanyuan were already considered pretty girls in a college environment.
For the vast majority of students, having a girlfriend like that was, at least on the surface, quite a face-saving thing.
This also explained why, when Xue Tao and Liu Yuanyuan first started dating, he valued it so much and showed her off everywhere.
He really had to show off.
However, even then, Su Bai never envied Xue Tao. After all, it was visible to the naked eye that Liu Yuanyuan was not an easy person to deal with.
In relationships, looks are just the threshold; personality is the core factor that determines the actual experience.
Dating someone with a bad personality is truly agonizing.
You're better off staying single.
Take Xue Tao, for example. He had now entered the phase of wearing a mask of pain. Obviously, this "love triangle" wasn't something he could enjoy; instead, it left him completely overwhelmed.
He was never good at dealing with women to begin with, let alone shrewd ones who were leagues above him.
Add to that a senior student who clearly had ill intentions and wanted to steal his girlfriend, and Xue Tao was left at a complete loss.
He stood there looking a bit dumbfounded.
In his head, Xue Tao was already starting to regret it.
If he had known, he never would have teamed up with Liu Yuanyuan and that senior!
He had made the decision last night out of youthful arrogance, somewhat intending to clash head-on with the senior. Moreover, he wanted to take the opportunity to clearly break up with Liu Yuanyuan.
But this atmosphere... it felt like a place not meant for human survival.
The thought of a two-day, one-night hiking and camping trip made Xue Tao's scalp tingle with dread.
He couldn't help but cast a pleading look toward Su Bai... Oh wait, where was Brother Bai?
Su Bai had immediately activated his divine evasion and slipped away.
He ran over to Old Chu's side to see what was going on there.
After all, if he could get a Mind +5 attribute point reward just from enjoying the drama of Xue Tao's weird little group, surely the Shanghai big shot wouldn't disappoint him either.
Chu Mingzhe's chosen team members were also a couple.
Their hiking backpacks were covered in various little keychains... oh, in anime community slang, they were called merch.
Su Bai glanced over them and felt they were all from popular major IPs.
The two were quite outgoing and tried to strike up a conversation with Chu Mingzhe and the goth girl, but the results weren't very significant.
Needless to say, the goth girl had social anxiety.
Chu Mingzhe wasn't much better. This guy was the secretly passionate type but very shy around strangers. When school first started, he loved to act aloof in the dorm, and it was only after repeatedly bickering with Xue Tao that he finally let himself go.
In the end, until Xia arrived at the meeting point almost exactly on time, Chu Mingzhe still hadn't provided Su Bai with any attribute point rewards.
Damn Shanghai big shot, he really isn't even worth a hair of a local. Bad review!
Hahaha, as expected, my bro Tao is the one who delivers the real entertainment.
What are you looking at so intently?
Xia Lin leaned in next to Su Bai and asked curiously.
Xia Lin's long hair was tied back in a neat ponytail. She wore a standard windbreaker and hiking pants. From a purely sartorial perspective, she seemed no different from anyone else present, yet she stood out strikingly.
Her upright posture and beautiful face drew plenty of attention from the surroundings.
Some people knew who she was, or who Su Bai was, so they just took a couple of glances and left it at that.
Those who didn't know them couldn't help but stare a bit longer. Seeing her docile posture standing next to Su Bai, especially the faint dark circles under her eyes from a lack of proper rest, revealing a soft weariness, it left much to the imagination. People couldn't help but guess what had happened between her and Su Bai last night.
My god, are those two celebrities here for a variety show? They're both so tall, and their looks are unreal.
They're probably rich kids. Sigh, it's nice to have money. That girl, just the shoes on her feet are enough to buy my entire set of gear.
What can you do? Us poor folks have our own cost-effective ways to play...
Feeling the gossiping gazes, Xia Lin looked at Su Bai's handsome side profile. Suddenly recalling the gentle touch of his fingers running through her wet hair last night, the tips of her ears couldn't help but grow slightly warm.
This was also why she had dawdled in the hotel by herself for a while before coming; she purely needed to adjust her physical condition and calm her mind.
She really loved being with Su Bai, but it was indeed a bit too draining on her energy. A guy like Su Bai really wasn't someone an ordinary girl could handle.
In order to maintain her authority as a counselor and to shake off her shyness, Xia Lin went over to check on Xue Tao and Chu Mingzhe.
These two were students in her class, after all, and they were even the types with a high chance of failing courses who needed special attention. You could say their debuff stacks were full.
The person in charge of the event did a roll call, confirmed everyone was present, and announced their departure.
Although two buses had arrived, they were actually mainly for carrying luggage. Camping gear was plentiful and bulky, and besides, some people were driving their own cars.
There was a status game to this as well. Those who dared to drive their own cars definitely had good ones. People with ordinary luxury cars simply took the bus together. Looking around, the vehicles following the buses were all expensive off-roaders and high-end SUVs.
Not bad, very successful person vibes.
The vice president drove an AITO M9 and took Liu Yuanyuan up with him.
Xue Tao watched them go, gritting his teeth somewhat.
Damn it, if he had known, he would have brought his Cayenne!
A second-hand Cayenne was still a Cayenne. In terms of prestige, it could at least tie with an M9.
The reason he ultimately didn't choose to drive was because of his driving skills... Driving up a mountain wouldn't just be an issue of losing face; it would likely be a safety hazard.
His life was more important.
Thinking about this made Xue Tao feel even more depressed.
Huang Ran comforted him, Xue Tao, your girlfriend really has no sense of boundaries, getting into a senior's car for this kind of event.
Sigh, to tell you the truth, today I was planning to find a suitable time to have a good talk with her. This relationship exists in name only now.
Xue Tao smoothed his hair, looking sorrowful.
Huang Ran's mouth twitched. Wait, bro, you already planned to break up?
She felt this was reasonable, but she needed to carefully plan how to handle it. Otherwise, it would be easy to become the morally condemned party. If Liu Yuanyuan painted her as the other woman, it would be bad.
Meanwhile, inside the AITO M9, the senior was excitedly introducing the car's features, sounding just like a car dealership salesman.
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?"
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System."

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...
