Able to Break Up One Couple Is One Couple

Xu Nan glanced over. Sure enough, a head had popped out from the window outside the lecture hall.

Wasn't that Qin Lele?

The flat-chested female thief made a shocking remark, and the senior girls immediately snapped, "So shameless at such a young age. No wonder you're related to that bitch Zhang Yingluo!"

"This is an Accounting Department class. We won't tolerate you Foreign Languages School people causing trouble here!"

"Old Hai, I formally report that someone is trying to disrupt the class!"

The middle-aged man at the podium, bald as a polished egg, smiled mildly and didn't mind. There were still five minutes before class officially began. After teaching for so many years, time had long worn down his edges. These young people bickering and making noise were rather adorable, and he never stopped or interfered with them. Still, the commotion Xu Nan had caused today surprised him.

Normally, even roll call for Fundamentals of Accounting couldn't get everyone present. Yet today, because of Xu Nan's arrival, the room was packed. According to rumors around the school, quite a few girls from other colleges were planning to take this course as an elective, specifically requesting his class.

Come to think of it, his years of personal charisma couldn't compare to some boy wearing a mask and making a WeChat post. How depressing.

With that thought, Old Hai silently shook his head, took out his old-fashioned thermos, and drank some water by himself. He couldn't be bothered managing the chaotic atmosphere in the classroom anymore.

Qin Lele was actually a familiar face at Shang University. She studied at the nearby Foreign Languages School, but because of Zhang Yingluo, she came running over to Shang University all the time. On top of that, she was naturally likable, and many old professors liked her very much.

Ordinary staff wouldn't stop her either.

Qin Lele completely ignored those fierce women, her eyes fixed only on Xu Nan. "Xu Nan, I'm asking you a question!"

Xu Nan took a deep breath. Was she really adding fuel to the fire? Had she gotten addicted to practicing her Pickpocketing Technique on him?

He simply went all in and sneered, "I'm not wearing underwear today!"

After saying that, he looked at Qin Lele smugly. Let's see what you can steal now.

But the moment those words came out, the entire lecture hall fell silent.

The senior girls stared at Xu Nan in utter shock. Even the boys wore expressions of indescribable astonishment.

Xu Nan's face reddened. No one said anything, but his WeChat received a flood of messages—

Bro, awesome. You actually had the guts to announce your preference for not wearing underwear in front of all these people. I don't even respect my grandma crossing the street as much as I respect you! From a certain shameless roommate.

Junior Xu Nan, try to keep a lower profile during class. Old Hai is pretty open-minded, but saying something like that is kind of provoking him. From a certain kind senior girl.

Junior, junior! You don't like wearing underwear either? High five! I don't like the feeling of being restrained either. Let's find some time to properly exchange experiences on this topic, okay? From a certain bold senior girl.

Junior Xu Nan, I don't mind your strange preferences at all. Please go out with me! From the blushing Finance Department senior girl to his left.

Xu Nan was expressionless. Of course, with his mask on, no one could tell what he was thinking anyway.

At that moment, the Quest Card, which had been quiet for a long time, changed again. This time, though, the change seemed rather significant!

Ron Sorcerer Bloodline Awakening Optional Quest

Quest Name: I Love Nature 1

Quest Description: Announce some of your unique preferences in public, and bravely face society's judgment!

Quest Reward: 6 Shame Points; unlock the "I Love Nature" quest chain

Quest Progress: Completed!

You have gained 6 Shame Points!

You have obtained an independent quest clue—I Love Nature!

Xu Nan was completely dumbfounded. What did not wearing underwear have to do with loving nature? He had a bad feeling about this.

I Love Nature: Ultra-Large Independent Exploration Quest Chain

Description: Every action you take that involves loving nature will trigger the next quest. This quest chain contains a total of 36 branch quests. Complete them all for generous rewards. (You may obtain some Druid superpowers.)

Xu Nan felt a little suffocated.

He was a perfectly good sorcerer. How had he somehow started heading in the direction of a druid? But on second thought, the sorcerer profession really was bizarre and varied, relying entirely on Bloodline Awakening. Whatever direction one's bloodline awakened toward wasn't strange.

The only good news was that this quest chain was listed separately and wouldn't affect the Quest Card's regular quest list.

Xu Nan sighed a little. Today's refreshed quest opportunity had been used up just like that. Six Shame Points looked pretty good, but the current Xu Nan wanted more.

No sooner had that thought crossed his mind than the Quest Card underwent another earth-shattering change—

Since you have independently completed Bloodline Awakening Optional Quests without instruction more than three times, the quest system has upgraded!

Quest system upgrade complete

New system functions—

1. Bloodline Awakening Optional Quests will be issued at midnight each day and refreshed at dawn the following day. Opportunities are fleeting and never return.

2. Events that slightly stimulate Bloodline Awakening and grant Shame Points will no longer be issued as individual quests. The host may explore them independently.

3. Magical pet proxy quests have been added. Quests will refresh randomly. The host may explore them independently.

4. Bloodline Awakening activities have been added. Different activities will be issued each month, with generous rewards. If you crave power, carry them out to your heart's content!

Xu Nan stared in astonishment.

This month's Bloodline Awakening activity quest has begun: The Eternal War Between Single Dogs and Public Displays of Affection!

Quest Description: Across this vast land, Single Dogs suffer countless critical hits from maniacs flaunting their love every day. They rise up in resistance. They struggle. They seek change—but without exception, they fail! Couples brazenly occupy every dark corner of the campus, controlling its very lifeblood. Have you ever encountered such a scene? You want to find a quiet lawn at night to gaze at the moon and memorize vocabulary, only to hear strange sounds from the bushes. When you blush and cautiously make your way over, all that remains is a mess and some rubber product? The few words you painstakingly memorized have already vanished completely from your mind?! Therefore, since ancient times, Single Dogs and Couple Meows have been irreconcilable factions. Now, make your choice!

Faction Selection: Single Dog/Couple Meow

Xu Nan was utterly confused. He clicked to view a more detailed explanation and discovered that even though he was single, he could still join the Couple Meow faction. If he joined the couple faction, he had to choose a female partner, then occasionally deal critical-hit damage to some Single Dogs.

Showing off affection wouldn't directly grant Shame Points, but it could earn Activity Points exclusive to the event. When the event ended, those points could be converted into Shame Points or used to draw generous rewards.

"I'm a Single Dog. How could I so easily defect to the enemy? Of course I'm choosing the Single Dog faction!"

Xu Nan still had principles!

After he chose the Single Dog faction, the activity changed—

This Month's Activity: Revenge of the Single Dogs

Activity Slogan: Able to break up one couple is one couple!

Activity Description: Take action against those couples who love showing off their affection! Our principle is to break up as many couples as possible. If we can break up two, we'll never settle for breaking up just one!

Activity Points: 0

Xu Nan let out a long breath. At that moment, the class bell rang, and the disorderly lecture hall finally quieted down somewhat.

Old Hai put down his thermos and was about to begin teaching when he suddenly realized that there seemed to be far fewer people in the classroom!

"Strange. Where did everyone go? Forget it, never mind. Next, let's discuss the recognition and measurement of intangible assets..."

Naturally, there were fewer people because Xu Nan had secretly slipped away.

Qin Lele had kept calling to him through the window and bombarding him with WeChat messages. Naturally, she had a reason for it.

He found an opportunity, pretended to go to the restroom, activated Expeditious Retreat, ran outside the classroom, and scooped Qin Lele up in his arms.

Unable to find Xu Nan, everyone else was naturally disappointed. Some senior girls simply left openly through the back door, and broad-minded Old Hai wouldn't say anything about it.

"Fine, what did you want with me?"

"Did Senior Sister ask you to find me?"

Xu Nan asked.

Qin Lele said disdainfully, "My sister guards against me so closely right now. How could she possibly send me to find you?"

"I'm not on the same side as her."

"I came to find you because I have a secret to share with you."

Xu Nan was unmoved. "Oh?"

"I found a dungeon."

Qin Lele looked into Xu Nan's eyes with absolute seriousness. "I want to invite you to explore it with me. Alone, I'm a bit outmatched."

Xu Nan didn't believe her. "Wouldn't it be best to let the Thousand Rays Society handle something like that?"

Qin Lele didn't care. "I told you, my sister and I have different ideals. She guards against me, and I guard against her."

"Those people brainwashed her and turned her into some hot-blooded teenage girl. I'm not like that."

"Do you really think I'm some idiot thief who put all her points in the wrong places and only knows how to play with throwing knives?"

The next second, Xu Nan only felt his belt loosen, then tighten again!

Xu Nan leaped backward and pointed at Qin Lele. "What the hell are you doing?"

Qin Lele looked at the two pairs of underwear in her hand in surprise. "You actually wore two pairs today? Not bad. You were guarding against me."

Xu Nan sneered. "Actually, I wore three."

Qin Lele: "..."

Xu Nan abruptly changed the subject:

"Tell me, what's this dungeon about?"
