Freshman Class Meeting

The classroom returned to its original state. Everyone was chatting and laughing, and some were looking at their phones, not sure what they were watching.

In the back row, Yang Wenzhao didn't care about Zhang Huizhen's teasing at all; his heart remained completely unmoved.

The first time someone teases you, you might frown and feel a little angry.

The second time someone teases you, you might just frown at most, thinking how annoying this person is.

When someone teases you for the third time or more, you start to become numb, as if the person being talked about is no longer you.

Zhang Huizhen clapped her hands, stretched out her arms, and smiled widely.

"Little cutie, let big sister give you a hug."

Candy, in Mo Jingchun's arms, looked at Mo Jingchun, then at Zhang Huizhen who had her hands out.

Zhang Huizhen wouldn't really wait for the little one to make a choice. Children are naturally resistant to strangers. If she waited any longer, she definitely wouldn't be able to hold her. Zhang Huizhen directly took Candy from Mo Jingchun's arms.

Held in Zhang Huizhen's arms, Candy stared blankly at Zhang Huizhen, losing her earlier liveliness.

When it comes to taking care of children, girls are better. The little one, who was a bit restrained at first, started laughing heartily after being teased by Zhang Huizhen for a while. Mo Jingchun, her brother, was probably thrown to the back of her mind.

The appeal of a baby was too strong. More and more girls gradually gathered around Zhang Huizhen, scrambling to hold Candy. Mo Jingchun, the brother, and Yang Wenzhao were completely bewildered and directly squeezed out of the circle by the girls.

Why was this happening? Where was the girls' reserve?

Yang Wenzhao and Mo Jingchun, who were squeezed to the back door, fell into contemplation.

"Her eyes are so big and beautiful."

"Whose child is this?"

"If my brother were this cute, how could I possibly hit him!"

"Senior, senior, let me hold her quickly, she's too cute."

"Huh? Why is she frowning?"

"The way you're holding her is wrong. Holding a child like that will make them uncomfortable. Why is she frowning? It's good she's not crying. Let me hold her quickly."

Seeing that his sister didn't need him for the time being, Mo Jingchun simply sat down in the last row near the back door. Seeing this, Yang Wenzhao also sat down next to Mo Jingchun.

"You want to get a scholarship?" The taciturn Yang Wenzhao suddenly asked. Mo Jingchun was clearly stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"It's best if I can get it, but it's okay if I can't."

In Mo Jingchun's opinion, with so many algorithms in his mind and the AI Smart Butler, would he still not be able to make money?

Yang Wenzhao raised an eyebrow, reached out, and pointed to the crowd of girls.

"See that girl with the youthful white hair who's holding your sister and smiling foolishly? Her name is Li Xuanyu. You've probably heard of her name. If you want to get a scholarship, you have to be better than her."

Li Xuanyu, Li Xuanyu, such a familiar name. Suddenly, Mo Jingchun's eyes widened as he looked at the girl holding his sister and smiling foolishly, then looked at Yang Wenzhao, seeking confirmation of his guess.

"Don't tell me, she's the Li Xuanyu I know."

"Very unbelievable? Or do you think the world is too small? Don't doubt it, she is the top science student in your An Province, the Li Xuanyu who has always been ahead of you."

Yang Wenzhao patted Mo Jingchun's shoulder, "Let's reintroduce ourselves. My name is Yang Wenzhao, and that thick-skinned senior of yours is Zhang Huizhen."

"Keep it up, I believe you can defeat Li Xuanyu."

Mo Jingchun gave an awkward smile, unable to guess how much truth was in Senior Yang Wenzhao's words.

For three years of high school, the name Li Xuanyu had completely overshadowed him, Mo Jingchun, without exception. Every time there was a unified exam, the name Li Xuanyu would invariably appear in first place, while he, Mo Jingchun, constantly fluctuated between second place and the top ten.

During the college entrance exam, he performed quite well, achieving third place overall in the science stream for An Province. Mo Jingchun truly hadn't expected the world to be so small. Before, he had only frequently heard the name Li Xuanyu from his homeroom teacher and various subject teachers. Now, he was actually sitting in the same classroom.

If it weren't for the system that appeared after the college entrance exam, Mo Jingchun wouldn't have truly believed he could compete with Li Xuanyu. He hadn't won a single time in three years, and now he was fantasizing about competing after entering university?

But now? Mo Jingchun was very confident in himself, or rather, he was very confident in the system.

Ding~

"Congratulations to the host for realizing the system's power. To allow the host to wash away shame, the system is now releasing a mission."

"Please, host, fight against the crowd and win this semester's National Scholarship. Completing the mission will grant 100 points."

Mo Jingchun slightly furrowed his brows. Yang Wenzhao, who was beside him, thought Mo Jingchun was feeling pressured because of Li Xuanyu.

What Yang Wenzhao didn't know was that Mo Jingchun was complaining to the system in his mind.

"System, this mission can be considered a long-term mission, right? Only 100 points, do you, old man, think that's appropriate?"

"Also, you only mentioned the reward. If I fail, what's the punishment? You haven't said yet."

The system was silent for a moment before replying to Mo Jingchun.

"Host, the points given by the system are all reasonable and well-founded."

"Furthermore, please do not be misled by novels. This system and the host are already integrated. We prosper together, and we suffer together. There is no punishment for mission failure, or rather, the points the host loses as a result are the punishment for the host."

Speaking of this, the system's tone became resentful, "Host, for this kind of beginner mission, if you fail, you might as well just buy a block of tofu and bash your head against it, or hang yourself with noodles."

"Life isn't worth it. This system can't afford to lose face as a system."

Heh heh, I didn't expect you to be this kind of system.

"What are you two doing? One is frowning, and the other has a long face."

Li Na, who had just walked into the classroom from the back door with a workbook, saw Mo Jingchun and Yang Wenzhao, the temporary class representatives, sitting by the door looking emo. Was this the state a university student should be in?

"Ah, Teacher, you're here." Mo Jingchun scratched his head. He couldn't possibly tell the teacher that the system was looking down on him.

"Mm." Li Na lightly hummed and nodded, her gaze, however, was fixed on the group of people gathered around, teasing the child.

Seeing the girls all gathered around Mo Jingchun's younger sister, Li Na, who had been slightly frowning, relaxed her brows. Things seemed to be much better than she had thought.

Li Na, still in her sportswear, walked from the back row to the podium. The classroom gradually quieted down, and the girls who had been gathered together also returned to their seats. Mo Jingchun's younger sister, Candy, was also carried back to a seat by a girl Mo Jingchun didn't recognize.

In the back row, Zhang Huizhen met Mo Jingchun's gaze and spread her hands helplessly.

"Good evening, everyone, new students."

Clap clap clap~

Li Na raised her hand to quiet the students' applause and said with a smile, "I think some students already know me, but more students have only heard about me through word of mouth. Now, I will introduce myself."
