Freshman and Little Newbie

After enduring Mom's ear-piercing nagging, he felt nothing but hostility from the real world.

Wang Yue wasn't against marriage. He wanted a wife to warm his bed too, but aside from the very few he didn't fancy, none of the rest fancied Wang Yue!

Feeling utterly hopeless, Wang Yue lay on his bed with a mournful expression. Back in university, girlfriends had been easy enough to find, and he'd felt that dating got in the way of having fun. After graduation, though, he discovered that girlfriends didn't just appear whenever he wanted one!

As the saying went, plant a plane tree and the phoenix would come. It seemed he needed to find a way to make some money—big money!

But the old Wang Yue hadn't had that kind of ability. After training in the world of Love O2O, the only thing he was really good at was computers—his hacking skills were exceptional.

But he still hadn't learned any ways of making money that weren't written into the criminal code!

Or perhaps his social circle had simply been too small. The original Wang Yue had lived a two-point life between the office and his rented room. It had been much the same in Wei Wei World, where he had spent nearly all his time learning hacking.

As for flirting skills, there was even less to say. Was Xiao Nai really flirting with girls? They had simply been mutually attracted. Wang Yue had learned a bit of that calculating, aloof temperament, but he lacked the substance to match it.

What was Xiao Nai's substance? It definitely wasn't that convincing act of his. It was one word: handsome! Two words: very handsome. Three words? Forget it. Anyway, as long as you were handsome, reason simply didn't apply.

And Xiao Nai wasn't just handsome—he was rich too! He came from a scholarly, distinguished family. As for Wang Yue? Forget it. I'll create a wealthy family of my own! That's how it'll be!

That night, Wang Yue dreamed that he traveled through one world after another, learning all sorts of skills—making money, picking up girls... Anyway, dreams had everything. Dreams were just that wonderful!

Early the next morning, that damned alarm clock effortlessly confiscated all of Wang Yue's ill-gotten gains from his dreams.

Left with nothing once more, Wang Yue began another day of 996.

After more than a month of hectic work, during the lunch break one day, Wang Yue had just returned to the office when he saw the office beauty staring at her phone with tears in her eyes, occasionally wiping them away with a tissue.

Wang Yue still had a soft spot for women, so he hurriedly asked what was wrong. Xu Jing said she had cried while watching a TV Drama.

Wang Yue sat down speechlessly in his chair, leaned comfortably against the backrest, and had only one word in his heart: blissful!

As Wang Yue lay there drowsily on the verge of falling asleep, he inadvertently caught sight of Xu Jing's phone screen from the corner of his eye.

"Ding. Detected that the host is watching the TV Drama So Young. Loading system..."

"Ding. Loading complete. Activating traversal function..."

When Wang Yue arrived in this world, he was carrying his luggage and standing right at the gates of East China University of Architecture. From the memories in his mind, he learned that this time, Wang Yue was a freshman in the Civil Engineering Department of the School of Civil Engineering.

This world's Wang Yue came from a village called Balitun in Changzhou, Hebei Province. His parents farmed at home and occasionally took on odd jobs elsewhere. Though the family wasn't wealthy, as their only child, he had never suffered much.

From childhood through adulthood, he had always been the best-looking kid in the village, and his grades had been quite good too. This year, he had even become the village's only university student. In short, Wang Yue was the legendary other people's child in the village.

As Wang Yue stood there thinking, he heard a sweet voice not far away. "Thank you, Uncle!"

Wang Yue turned around and saw an impossibly youthful young woman talking to a taxi driver whose face and neck had gone red. The driver hurriedly handed over her change, then vanished in a flash.

The moment Wang Yue saw the little beauty, a voice sprang to mind. "Zhang Xianzong, my tooth hurts!"

The impression had been too profound. Wang Yue stared blankly for a moment. Why had the beauties in the previous world looked so unlike their TV Drama counterparts? If it hadn't been for Xiao Nai's outrageously handsome face, Wang Yue wouldn't even have dared to confirm that he had traveled into a TV Drama.

So why had the actresses in this world returned to looking like their usual publicity stills? Could it be that the system was also restrained by the Great God of Harmony? It seemed he had discovered some incredible secret.

System? I don't know anything now. Is it too late?

Zheng Wei turned around and saw Wang Yue staring straight at her. She felt rather pleased with herself, but her words were anything but polite. "What are you looking at?"

"A beauty," Wang Yue replied casually, then picked up his luggage and prepared to enter the campus.

Zheng Wei's eyes lit up at that. This guy had decent taste! She pulled up her suitcase and caught up with Wang Yue, continuing to tease him. "Did I give you permission to look?"

"What, being pretty means people aren't allowed to look? You planning to charge me?" Wang Yue looked at this dark loli and suddenly wondered whether he might run into her in Wu Xin: The Monster Killer.

On second thought, forget it. That was way too frightening! His body shuddered involuntarily.

Seeing him apparently think of something so frightening that he actually shivered, Zheng Wei decided not to scare him anymore. Still, she joked, "Help me carry my luggage, and I won't charge you. Fair enough, right?"

Wang Yue stopped and looked at her, grumbling inwardly that a loli was still a dark loli no matter what identity she took on. Even so, he reached out to pull Zheng Wei's large suitcase over.

But when Wang Yue casually tugged sideways with his free left hand, it didn't budge at all! He switched his own luggage to his left hand, then used his right hand to pull Zheng Wei's suitcase forward.

When they came to a set of steps, Wang Yue laboriously hoisted both suitcases up. This body really isn't bad! If it had been his body before traveling, he definitely wouldn't have been able to lift them. I need to start working out when I get back. Mm, it's decided.

Standing at the top of the steps, Zheng Wei watched Wang Yue struggle with the suitcases and happily praised him. "You're really strong!"

"All country kids are like this. I'm actually on the weaker side. But does this dark loli suitcase of yours have rocks in it?" Wang Yue compared the two again. "They're about the same size, so why is yours fifty percent heavier?"

Zheng Wei was quite unhappy that he had given her such a nickname the moment they met. She replied bluntly, "Do you think looking at a beauty comes that easily?"

"Mm, it doesn't." Wang Yue nodded in wholehearted agreement. Thinking of the ten-to-one male-to-female ratio in the Civil Engineering Department, he let out an agonized sigh.

"Then you should cherish it more!" Zheng Wei walked ahead with an arrogant look. After taking a few steps, she turned back and called to Wang Yue again, "Hurry up and keep up!"

"Coming!" Wang Yue jogged a few steps to catch up with Zheng Wei, then asked as if casually, "Which school are you in?"

"Me? The School of Civil Engineering. What about you?" Zheng Wei answered readily.
