After accepting the ridiculous "Free Soul" mission, Lin Kun felt uneasy all day. He was distracted in class, choked on his food, and nearly shoved the broom into Tang San's face while cleaning, drawing a confused look from him.

"No, it's better to get it over with quickly! I have to complete this mission as soon as possible and get that 'Presence Reduction' buff. Otherwise, I'll eventually scare myself to death or be mistaken for a suspicious person by Tang San!" Lin Kun decided.

An opportunity soon presented itself. After the martial soul theory class in the afternoon, most students hadn't left the classroom yet. They were gathered in groups of three or five, discussing the content they had just learned. There were more than ten people present.

"Now's the time!" Lin Kun took a deep breath, his heart pounding. He pretended to bend down to tie his shoelaces, squatting in the aisle at the back of the classroom, which was relatively empty.

"For points! For the buff! Let's go!" Lin Kun cheered himself on mentally (though he didn't know what "Let's go" meant), then suddenly stood up!

Under the bewildered gazes of the entire class (including the teacher who was organizing lesson plans), Lin Kun's body suddenly twisted stiffly and rapidly. His right shoulder lunged forward, executing a half-hearted, awkwardly powerful "Iron Mountain Lean"! At the same time, his lips moved silently and quickly, clearly forming the shape of "Ji Ni Tai Mei"!

The entire classroom fell silent.

All the students stared at him, dumbfounded, as if he were a lunatic having a sudden episode.

The teacher on the podium pushed up his glasses and asked doubtfully, "Classmate Lin Kun? Are you... not feeling well? Do you need to go to the infirmary?"

Tang San frowned, his eyes filled with extreme confusion. Xiao Wu, after being stunned for a moment, covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking violently. She was clearly struggling to suppress her laughter. Even Ning Rongrong, sitting in the front row, turned her head, her beautiful big eyes filled with disbelief and a hint of… amusement?

Lin Kun's face instantly turned as red as a monkey's backside. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into! So embarrassing! A complete scene of social death!

He stood stiffly in place, his mind blank. He could only mechanically shake his head, "N-no, I'm fine, teacher! I... my leg cramped! Just stretching! Yes, just stretching!" With that, he shuffled awkwardly out of the classroom, his movements uncoordinated, drawing whispers and suppressed laughter.

[Ding! Random Mission "Free Soul" completed! Reward: 50 Plot Breakdown Points, "Presence Reduction" Buff (lasts one hour) has taken effect.]

The system's prompt was like heavenly music, finally bringing a sliver of comfort to Lin Kun's shattered spirit.

He rushed out of the classroom, feeling as though the entire world was filled with an awkward aura. Strangely, as he ran down the corridor, it seemed no one paid him any particular attention. Occasionally, a student would glance at him, but their gaze quickly moved away, as if he were just an insignificant background element.

"Did the buff take effect?" Lin Kun's heart stirred. He tried walking past two girls who were chatting, and they indeed reacted with nothing, continuing their discussion about new skirt styles.

"Amazing! This buff is incredibly effective!" Lin Kun was overjoyed, his recent shame replaced by novelty. Like a child who had received a new toy, he began to "test" the buff around the academy.

He strolled to the training grounds and walked past the group undergoing physical training; no one looked at him. He ran to the window of the academic affairs office and peeked in; the teachers inside didn't look up. He even boldly wandered near the girls' dormitory (purely for testing!), but a sharp-eyed female teacher subconsciously felt "something seemed to have passed by" and glared at him, scaring him into a quick retreat.

"Impressive! Although its effectiveness is reduced against those with high strength or strong intuition, it's absolutely top-notch for stealth and avoiding trouble!" Lin Kun was very satisfied with this reward.

The hour passed quickly, and his presence returned to normal. Lin Kun walked back in a good mood, contemplating how to spend these 50 points. When he passed the academy's notice board, he saw the bizarre new school rules again, but this time he felt much better, even a little amused.

"Hmph, rules are dead, people are alive. I have the system buff, I can do whatever I want... Of course, it's best to avoid embarrassing myself like that again," he muttered softly, whistling (a normal whistle) as he returned to the Seventh Dormitory.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
