Tang San, a New Punishment Has Appeared!

I had long known the system was ruthless, but I never expected it to be this ruthless.

"Cough, cough, are we going to scam every girl from now on?"

"Replying to Host: Yes."

"6."

"Of course, we don't scam people for no reason. We must find an excuse, a sufficient justification."

"For example, the reason we scammed Ning Rongrong is that she didn't play by the rules this time, which prevented you from being omniscient. That is her fault, so she must be scammed."

Zhang Tianyu asked: "What about Zhu Zhuqing? She didn't do anything!"

The system replied: "Correct. It is precisely because she did nothing. During the battle against Zhao Wuji, she clearly had the opportunity to assist from the sidelines, yet she chose not to. Therefore, we must scam her."

Zhang Tianyu: ...

After being reborn, why does the system feel like it's become so cheeky?

It was the same when it scammed Oscar before. In the past, the system wouldn't provide any setup at all; if it said we were going to scam someone, we just did it.

Now, it has to find an excuse, like saying Oscar had heatstroke.

What causal relationship is there between Oscar having heatstroke and scamming him?

After boarding the carriage, Ning Rongrong's face turned red and she kept her head down, not daring to look at Zhang Tianyu at all.

If there were a crack in the ground right now, she would definitely crawl into it.

Zhang Tianyu, being clever, chose not to sit inside the carriage, opting instead to sit outside next to the driver, chatting and watching the scenery.

Staying inside at a time like this would only make Ning Rongrong more awkward.

It might even lower her favorability toward him.

Finally back at the academy, after getting off the carriage, Xiao Wu greeted Zhang Tianyu and then quickly fled toward the dorms with Ning Rongrong as if escaping.

Watching their retreating figures, Zhang Tianyu sighed. It seemed the method he chose to scam Ning Rongrong today wasn't great; it looked like he might have left her with psychological trauma.

So, what method should he use to scam Zhu Zhuqing next?

Before Zhang Tianyu could come up with a plan, the system spoke again:

"Notification: The [CC Haha phase has ended] mission is activated. Mission objective: It has been a while since you last scammed Tang San. You must let him know that the CC Haha phase is over and a new round of punishment has descended!"

"Scam Tang San. No restrictions on methods, means, or consequences, but you cannot cause his death, nor can you expose yourself. Mission reward: Reward points +100, Set new spirit bone unlock progress +25%."

Zhang Tianyu's eyes lit up. Hey, this is good!

When scamming Tang San, there's no need to overthink it. The more chaotic, the better; no need to worry about the consequences at all!

Hehehe, he had already thought of many ways to scam him; it was perfect to pick one and use it on him this time!

Early the next morning.

A knock sounded at the door. Zhang Tianyu, already dressed and washed, opened it to find Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong standing outside.

Ning Rongrong looked even more shy today!

"Morning." Zhang Tianyu flashed a bright, sunny smile and nodded at Ning Rongrong.

This was his signature smile for picking up girls.

Sure enough, upon seeing this handsome smile, Ning Rongrong's expression went blank for a moment.

"Notification: Ning Rongrong's current heart rate is 166."

You don't need to tell me that, Zhang Tianyu thought. This move of mine has never failed.

Cough, cough—except for Bibi Dong, of course. That old woman detests men, so his move really didn't have much effect on her.

"Morning, Tianyu!"

"How did you sleep last night?" Zhang Tianyu asked.

"Not bad," Xiao Wu laughed. "Although the environment at this academy is a bit poor, it's very quiet. It has a feeling of returning to nature."

Zhang Tianyu was amused.

High EQ: Living here feels like returning to nature.

Low EQ: The pigs in the village are really something!

"How did you rest?" Ning Rongrong asked, blushing.

"Not bad. It's a single room, after all, so it's quite comfortable." Zhang Tianyu flashed a smile, causing Ning Rongrong to go slightly dazed again.

She had grown up in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and there were plenty of young talents there.

But there really wasn't anyone who looked better than Zhang Tianyu!

"Tianyu!" A call rang out. The group turned to see Tang San.

It looked like he had finished his morning cultivation and had come specifically to find Zhang Tianyu.

"Ah San," Zhang Tianyu greeted him. "Aren't you rooming with Oscar? Why don't I see Oscar with you?"

Since they parted ways yesterday, he hadn't seen Oscar at all.

Therefore, he couldn't wait to see what Oscar would look like with a bald patch on the back of his head!

Hmph, Oscar, don't you always think you're so handsome? Now that you're missing hair, can you still pull off being handsome?

Mentioning Oscar, Tang San immediately wore an expression he couldn't help but laugh at.

"His sausage cart had an accident yesterday, so he was feeling very depressed. He didn't sleep well all night, and when I came out, I called him, but he said he couldn't show his face and would head straight to the training ground later."

"Alright then." Zhang Tianyu shrugged, "Let's go find a place to eat."

"I know where it is," Tang San said, "I walked around here yesterday afternoon. Come on, I'll take you guys there."

"Oh, San, not bad!" Xiao Wu laughed.

Tang San gave an honest smile: "Follow me."

Then, Zhang Tianyu frowned slightly.

If they went straight to the cafeteria, wouldn't that prevent the plot between Ma Hongjun and Cuihua from triggering?

But no, that was a main plot point. Even if they avoided the argument between Ma Hongjun and Cuihua, it would surely trigger in some other way, and they would definitely encounter Ma Hongjun through some other means.

Sure enough, just as they were about to reach the cafeteria, a furious fatty came walking down a side path.

"Damn it, break up? Why break up? I clearly satisfied her so well, yet she wants to break up with me. Heartless woman!"

Hearing the commotion, everyone was stunned. They turned their heads and found themselves face-to-face with Ma Hongjun.

The moment Ma Hongjun saw Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, the anger on his face vanished completely, replaced by a lecherous expression that made him look like he was about to drool!

"Such beautiful little sisters!" Ma Hongjun licked his lips, "Mm! This must be Heaven helping me! Knowing I broke up with Cuihua, it sent two even prettier sisters right to my door!"

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong immediately frowned in disgust.

Ma Hongjun wiped his drool and charged over with big strides: "Beautiful sisters! Come here! My name is Ma Hongjun! I am the..."

Clang!

A dragon's roar erupted, and Yellow Springs was unsheathed!

A streak of black light flashed by. Ma Hongjun was terrified and just about to dodge, but Yellow Springs had already stopped right in front of him.

Only then did he notice that there were two men standing beside the two beautiful sisters.

One of them was exceptionally handsome, many times more handsome than him!

So handsome that it made him furious!

But when he saw the other one, ah, his anger vanished.
