Dear host, hello. It has been detected that life on Earth has been especially difficult for you. You cannot see the future, yet you have already seen it clearly. Would you be willing to pay one meme to bind this system and travel to Blue Star?
"(meme.jpg)"
Payment successful. Congratulations, host, on successfully binding the Life Background Editor.
"Why am I still an orphan after arriving on Blue Star? This is ridiculous!"
Editing an identity background requires fulfilling the corresponding cause and effect.
The host can exchange Emotion Points for corresponding identity backgrounds, skills, and various rewards.
"What background could an orphan whose parents are both dead possibly edit?"
"Tsk, these backgrounds... They're terrifying! I'd better choose carefully."
"The son of the Provincial Party Secretary? This one's good. Too bad I'm an orphan. And I don't have enough Emotion Points."
"This one seems pretty good too..."
Shangan City, Yongan University of Science and Technology.
At noon, in front of the cafeteria, reporter Bingbing smiled sweetly at the camera.
"Welcome to Integrity Campus, a documentary program specially authorized by CCTV.
"The cafeteria has always been a major problem area on campus, so for this episode, we've invited the Education Bureau director to explore this university cafeteria with us."
The camera shifted. A group of school leaders in administrative jackets were seen surrounding an utterly ordinary-looking man.
He was the Education Bureau director, Yu Shu.
Yu Shu frowned and said unhappily, "Why are you all surrounding me? Are you afraid the students won't be able to tell that I'm the director?
"Or are you worried that I'll uncover something?"
The principal wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Not at all! Director, our school cafeteria has always been open and transparent.
"Whether it's the taste, hygiene, or prices, the students are all very satisfied."
"Hmph. What you say is useless. I'll have to investigate personally to know whether it's good or bad."
After stepping through the entrance, the director suddenly turned around. "Remember! Don't let the students know my identity."
"Yes... yes."
The director's actions sparked a lively discussion among netizens.
—Now that's a good leader. Have a like.
—The school leaders must be sweating buckets.
—I think this program is all for show. If there were really a problem, how could they possibly let you broadcast it?
As Yu Shu entered, everyone hurried in after him.
"Time to eat! Time to eat!"
"Student, what dishes did you get?" the director asked, stopping a student who had just finished getting his food.
"Sweet-and-sour pork tenderloin, cumin lamb, braised pork ribs, and fried chicken strips."
"What do you think of the food?"
"It's great! It's tasty and cheap, and it's clean and hygienic. Because of this cafeteria, I don't even order takeout anymore."
Yu Shu nodded, his expression unchanged.
Meanwhile, the school leaders watching from a short distance away all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Immediately afterward, the director stopped a female student.
"Miss, did you get two portions because you're planning to eat with your boyfriend?"
"I'm eating them both myself. Dating would only slow down my eating. You really can't get food as good as our school's anywhere else."
Yu Shu nodded, a hint of satisfaction showing in his expression.
"Not bad..."
Several school leaders approached with beaming smiles.
Principal: "Director, our cafeteria has always maintained high standards, with everything centered around the students. We never cut corners."
"Not bad... They're the sun at eight or nine in the morning, full of youthful energy. They're in the prime of their lives, so we must make sure they eat well."
"Rest assured, Director. We'll definitely do that."
—That moved me so much. I always thought I was a lowly wage slave. Turns out I'm the rising sun.
—Remove "the sun."
—This cafeteria is really great. Can people from other schools come eat here?
—Even though I know this might be for show, I still can't help shedding tears of emotion.
At that moment, the director caught sight of a delicate-looking youth at the corner of a dining table. In front of him were only a bowl of white rice and a bowl of clear soup.
He stared blankly at the two small bowls before him, his eyes lost.
The director narrowed his eyes. "Why is that student only eating that?"
The principal's smile froze for a moment. "I... I don't know. Maybe he's trying to lose weight?"
The other school leaders hurriedly chimed in. "Yes, yes. A lot of our students have been learning about low-fat meals and intermittent fasting online."
Yu Shu snorted without saying anything. Instead, he walked over and sat beside Xu Yi.
The school leaders stood nervously behind them, staring fixedly at the two bowls of food.
"Hey, student~"
"..."
"Student?"
Xu Yi was still immersed in choosing a character background in the system shop, but without any Emotion Points, he could only sigh at what was beyond his reach.
Only after hearing someone call him did he pull his thoughts back.
"Student!"
Tense Emotion +1
Tense Emotion +1.
"??!!"
"Huh? Are you calling me?"
"Yes. I called you several times."
Xu Yi glanced at Yu Shu and thought to himself, The Impatient Emotion Points must have come from him.
Then the Tense Emotion... ?
Xu Yi swept his gaze around and noticed several school leaders behind him looking at him, a trace of nervousness showing on their faces.
There were also cameras filming nearby.
He understood everything at once. So the old man sitting beside me is some big leader, and they're filming some kind of program.
Xu Yi's eyes shifted. Sorry, Principal. This is all for the Emotion Points!
Xu Yi immediately hunched his body and moved the bowl in front of himself.
Everyone: "???"
Confused Emotion +1.
Yu Shu blinked. "Student, why are you only eating this?"
The spoon Xu Yi was about to put into his mouth suddenly stopped. He revealed a trace of grievance. "I'm sorry. I didn't know this couldn't be eaten. I thought it was free. I can pay. I have money."
"You can eat it."
"I didn't mean to steal Da Huang's food."
"Who's Da Huang?"
"The dog raised by the cafeteria auntie."

Xu Yi hurriedly searched for money in his clothing pocket. His hands were trembling so badly that all the coins fell to the ground, making a series of crisp sounds.
There was a one-yuan coin, a fifty-cent coin, and even a ten-cent coin.
The director shot the principal a cold, questioning look.
The principal hurried forward, his forehead covered in fine beads of cold sweat. "Student, the rice is free. You can eat as much as you want."
"Really? The cafeteria is so nice. Since it's my birthday today, they even gave me free rice."
Anger Points +30
Tense Emotion +30
"Di—Yu Teacher, the cafeteria's rice has always been free. Really." The principal hurriedly explained.
But Yu Shu impatiently waved his hand, signaling for him to step back.
Xu Yi hurriedly crouched down to pick up the coins. But because he was too anxious, his forehead struck the corner of the table.
The skin was scraped, and drops of blood flowed down.
Yet he seemed not to feel it. He took a wrinkled red plastic bag from his pocket, carefully wrapped the money in paper, and put it inside.
"Thank you, thank you, cafeteria."
Yu Shu took out a tissue and prepared to wipe Xu Yi's blood. "Why didn't you apply for financial aid?"
Unexpectedly, Xu Yi seemed to have received an enormous fright. He clutched his head with both hands and crouched on the ground, his tone pleading.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me! I don't want the financial aid anymore! The class leader demanded sixteen pieces of fruit, and I shouldn't have fought him for this poverty subsidy. I was wrong..."
School leaders: "???"
