A Beautiful and Magnificent Landscape

The scorching summer sun beat down as cicadas chirped joyfully.

Waves of heat surged like a rising tide, carrying the intense, sweltering atmosphere unique to this season.

Yet, under this blazing sun, one room was kept at a cool 20°C by the air conditioner, creating a sharp contrast between the chill inside and the sweltering air outside.

Zhuge Linghao wished he could stay in this cool, comfortable dormitory 24 hours a day, enjoying this rare moment of refreshment.

The final exams had passed smoothly, and Zhuge Linghao lay flat, waiting for emotion points to come to him on their own.

On the first day of summer vacation, Zhuge Linghao's emotion points finally reached over 3,000.

You might wonder, how did he get so many points all of a sudden?

Because the Sakura incident had made it onto the school network, Zhuge Linghao had become a model student for his courageous act, and after the entire faculty, staff, and student body learned of the matter, they generated nearly a thousand emotion points in total!

[System, upgrade!]

[Ding... Upgrading...]

[Ding... System has upgraded to Level 3! Host, please collect your upgrade rewards in a timely manner!]

[System, claim rewards!]

Zhuge Linghao was munching on a refreshing slice of watermelon when he suddenly choked!

[Ding... Congratulations to the host for obtaining the permanent skill--Super Fast Escape!]

[???]

[What is wrong with you, System? Why do you keep coming up with these bizarre, unserious skills? Are you toxic?]

[Sigh, I'm used to it. Another cowardly skill!]

"Bang, bang, bang," someone knocked on the door.

In a foul mood, Zhuge Linghao shouted impatiently, "Who is it? Why are you knocking on the door so early in the morning!"

"It's me, Zhuge-kun." A voice like an oriole chirped from outside the door.

Zhuge Linghao opened the door to see who it was, and it was her!

The dark figure before Zhuge Linghao spoke eloquently: "Are you interested in taking down Class A?"

Zhuge Linghao's dead fish eyes widened in shock as he said, "Are you serious? You want to collaborate with a piece of trash like me from Class D?"

Last night, in the pouring rain behind a certain teaching building, five figures in raincoats were discussing something.

The first figure said: "Is that thing ready?"

The second figure said: "Of course, just make sure you don't mess up the setup points."

The third figure said: "The girls' locker room voyeurism plan, initiate!"

The fourth figure said: "This will finally satisfy our emptiness and loneliness!"

The fifth figure said: "May everything go smoothly, God bless us!"

The sixth figure said: "Hehe, if things go as expected, we'll be expelled if we get caught, right?"

The leader of the previous five figures said: "That's true, so this plan must succeed; failure is not an option!"

Wait, there were only five people, so where did the sixth voice come from? What the hell!

Those five people also just realized that the sixth figure was Zhuge Linghao!

Zhuge Linghao, who had been passing by, saw them plotting something sneaky and had quietly blended in among them without a hint of awkwardness!

Zhuge Linghao wore a wide grin and said with an innocent face: "Don't even think about it, I'm going to report you!"

At the thought of all the beautiful girls being seen, Zhuge Linghao naturally...

[I want to see too! I really want to see! I dream about it!]

But sharing the joy with others is not as good as enjoying it alone!

If he had the chance to get his hands on exclusive resources, Zhuge Linghao would probably bleed to death from a nosebleed.

On the first day of summer vacation, Zhuge Linghao looked at the schedule on the wall and showed a very satisfied expression!

[6:40 to 7:10 Breakfast.

7:10 to 7:50 Memorize ancient poems, science formulas, and liberal arts summaries.

8:00 to 8:30 Solve 12 math multiple-choice questions.

8:30 to 8:50 Complete 1 reading comprehension passage and 1 cloze test.

9:00 to 11:30 Complete 1 full Chinese practice exam.

11:30 to 13:30 Lunch and nap.

13:30 to 14:30 Memorize chemistry formulas or physics knowledge.

14:30 to 17:00 Complete 1 full math practice exam.]

18:00 to 20:00 Summer homework time.

20:20 to 21:30 Review and summarize the day's incorrect knowledge points.

21:40 to 23:30 Complete 10 Chinese multiple-choice questions, 1 reading comprehension passage, memorize vocabulary, and recite classical poems.

23:40 Sleep.]

Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted Zhuge Linghao's self-satisfaction.

"Have you seen enough? If you have, please leave."

Zhuge Linghao quickly sat up straight, not daring to let his eyes wander, and said, "Sorry, Suzune-chan, for a second I thought this was my room!"

This was the first time he had seen Horikita in her pajamas, though he didn't know if she was wearing the underwear he had gifted her at the start of the school year...

This was the third time Zhuge Linghao had been in a girl's room, so he had developed some resistance. Aside from his ears burning red and his heart drumming wildly, he didn't show any other abnormal behavior.

Horikita picked up her Chinese textbook and said, "As you can see, I am following my study schedule to memorize classical Chinese. What exactly do you want?"

Zhuge Linghao swallowed hard, touched his earlobe, and said, "Um... can I invite you to the pool?"

Horikita's fox-like eyes shot out her familiar death glare: "No. Get lost."

Zhuge Linghao felt like he'd been struck through the heart. His mouth hung wide open as he said, "Hey, hey, hey, that rejection was way too crisp and clean!"

Zhuge Linghao had no choice but to tell the truth: "Actually, this concerns the future of Class D! I'm begging you!"

Horikita kept her back to him, reading her book without a word.

Zhuge Linghao continued, "It was Ike Kanji who suggested going to the pool, and they are planning to place cameras in the women's changing room! I already tried to stop them last night, but they voted me down unanimously."

[Including Ayanokoji, who also voted against me! Well played, Ayanokoji, you're quite the actor yourself!]

Horikita finally put down her book, pondered for a moment, and gestured for him to leave!

After waiting a long time without seeing Zhuge Linghao react, Horikita couldn't help but lash out with her sharp tongue: "You pervert, get out already! I need to change and head out!"

"Alright! I'll be waiting for you at the door!"

Hehe, Zhuge Linghao had successfully disrupted Horikita Suzune's entire first-day study schedule!

By the poolside, under a sun umbrella, two lounge chairs sat side by side.

"Golden-haired guy, when are you going to give me that 10,000 points?"

"Black-haired Boy, you are still so impatient."

Zhuge Linghao shifted into a more comfortable position and took a sip of his fruit juice: "Actually, I have a favor to ask of you. How about we use those 10,000 points to settle the debt? How does that sound?"

The sunglasses-wearing Meili-ge Koenji replied, "How unfortunate. Ever since I gained consciousness, basically no one has been able to command me."

"However, if it is a request from Black-haired Boy, I might consider it."

Zhuge Linghao was overjoyed. Maximizing his skill activation, he said, "Can you take me along to do some fitness training?"

"No."

[Damn it, the summer vacation 'get stronger' plan is a total failure!]

Just then, Ryuen and his Black Bodyguard appeared beside the lounge chairs!

"Hey, Zhuge Linghao, your little lackey is here too!"

Ryuen's unique, low voice rang out.

Zhuge Linghao was startled. This was a direct confrontation!

Zhuge Linghao hurriedly glanced at Koenji, but seeing him still combing his hair in front of his gold-rimmed mirror as usual, seemingly completely immersed in his own world, Zhuge Linghao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ryuen stared at Zhuge Linghao and said, "Tell me, whose idea was that bet?"

Zhuge Linghao had long since made lying a daily habit: "It was Horikita's, of course. Hmph, I told you already, Horikita wouldn't let me get expelled."

Suddenly, a familiar, large figure emerged from the pool!

Zhuge Linghao quickly pushed Ryuen aside and said, "Move over, you're blocking my view of the beauty!"

Then, Zhuge Linghao revealed a lecherous, obsessed smile.

[System, open Sakura Airi's personal panel. I want to see her bust size!!!]
