Long Aotian glanced at the template before him and closed it; aside from the increase in points and the buff, nothing else had changed.

Ding! His phone rang.

It was a text from Sakura Airi; today was the study session at the library.

It was time! After speaking with Sakura a few days ago, Kushida Kikyo had indeed invited Sakura Airi to the study session as expected.

Long Aotian's goal wasn't the library incident, but the meeting between the Horikita siblings. Both were scheduled for the same day, one during the day and one at night. In his past life, the timing of the library event in the anime was uncertain, which was why he had arranged for Sakura Airi to confirm it.

He teleported to the previously marked location, avoided the security cameras, and installed his own hidden cameras in the concealed spots around the scene of the upcoming incident.

He then climbed the back wall, jumped onto a tree, and placed a Flying Thunder God Mark so he could watch the live broadcast later.

Checking the time on his phone, the study session on Sakura Airi's side must have already begun, so he headed to the library first.

Arriving at the library~

A red-haired boy slammed his hand onto the table. With a crisp, forceful "bang," it felt as if the very air trembled.

He stood up, grabbed the collar of the girl in front of him, and shouted angrily, "You say I'm ignorant and incompetent?"

The girl remained unfazed by the red-haired boy's attitude and said haughtily, "That's right. You can't even solve a system of linear equations. I shudder just imagining what will become of you in the future."

"So what if I can't? What's the point of studying? Instead of gnawing on textbooks, I'd be better off practicing ball. Aiming to be a professional player is far more useful."

"Is that so? How childish. Aiming to be a professional basketball player? Do you really think the world will let you achieve that dream so easily?"

"Someone like you, who gives up halfway, will never become a professional player."

The red-haired boy released the girl's collar and grumbled, "I took time off from my club for this. It's a complete waste of time."

"I'm done too. Maybe you're smart, Horikita, but I can't deal with you looking down on everyone," one of the trio said.

"Me too."

"If you don't mind getting expelled, then please, feel free to leave," the girl said, straightening her collar.

The three of them brushed past Long Aotian, who was standing at the entrance, and left.

Interesting. A truly good show. Watching it live felt completely different from watching it on video.

He glanced at Sakura Airi's side, then caught the gaze of Kushida Kikyo.

Fearing Sakura Airi might be startled, he walked over and asked gently, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Kushida Kikyo looked at Long Aotian standing next to Sakura Airi and asked in confusion, "Long-kun?"

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka glanced at Long Aotian, thinking, Long Aotian from Class A.

Horikita Suzune looked at Long Aotian; she clearly didn't recognize him, but didn't pay him much mind either.

He gave a nod, and seeing that Sakura Airi was fine, he said, "Long time no see, Kushida-san."

A flash of red light flickered in Sakura Airi's eyes as she heard this.

Kushida Kikyo looked at Sakura Airi, then flashed that cute, standard smile. "Long time no see, Long-kun. It seems you two are quite close."

Long Aotian didn't deny it, also wearing a standard smile. "Indeed. I was planning to come and call Sakura for something, but it seems your study session here has fallen apart."

Emmmm, was this guy incapable of holding a conversation? He had completely killed the mood.

"Since you're finished here anyway," he said, glancing at Kushida Kikyo before turning to Sakura Airi, intentionally saying, "Let's go, Sakura. I have a way to help you pass the midterm exams."

"!" Hearing this, Horikita Suzune stood up and asked suspiciously, "What kind of way?"

Hooked!

Long Aotian wasn't in a hurry. He shook his head and said slowly, "I can't say. Besides, I spent quite a few points on this method."

"How many points?"

Horikita Suzune understood the implication, but she had no way to resolve the current situation, nor did she want the trouble of helping those three.

"50,000 points to tell you this method," Long Aotian said, holding up five fingers.

"This..."

Horikita Suzune hesitated, as this was undoubtedly a huge sum for anyone in Class D, especially since their points for the first month were zero and they had essentially no income.

Ayanokoji glanced at Kushida, who immediately caught on. She slowly approached Long Aotian, flashing a cute smile as she said, "Um, Long-kun, could you make it a bit cheaper?"

A flash of red light flickered in Sakura Airi's eyes once again.

Watching Kushida lean in, Long Aotian shook his head and said, "No can do. I spent 60,000 points to buy this method myself."

"But, seeing as you all have a pretty good relationship with Sakura, 40,000 points. I can't go any lower."

Huh? He glanced at Sakura, wondering why the girl's eyes looked so strange.

"40,000 is fine, but can you guarantee that this method is actually useful?"

Horikita Suzune asked skeptically.

Hm? What's this? If the test papers aren't authentic, are you going to stab me with a watermelon-slicing tool?

"No problem at all. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used this method for Sakura. If you don't believe me, you can verify it later."

"Fine." Horikita Suzune took out her phone and transferred 40,000 points to Long Aotian.

Done! In truth, there was no difference between 40,000 and 50,000 points for Long Aotian; he mainly just wanted to annoy Horikita Suzune and Ayanokoji. No matter what happened later, the redhead would still be one point short, and those two would eventually have to spend points to buy that one point. One point costs 100,000. If he remembered correctly, Ayanokoji only had about 60,000-plus points in the anime, and while Horikita Suzune's total wasn't shown, he estimated that after two months, her absolute limit would be around 80,000 (don't underestimate Horikita Suzune; she had been very frugal since arriving at the school).

Adding them together, they only had about 140,000-plus points. After spending 40,000 on Long Aotian's test papers, that would be enough to leave those two drinking the northwest wind for a while.

At this point, someone might ask why he didn't just charge 50,000 to leave them just a tiny bit short.

Stupid! It makes no difference whether it's 40,000 or 50,000. Even if they found themselves short later, there would still be time to borrow from others (expulsions only begin after school), and a "good person" like Kushida Kikyo would certainly lend it to them, or...

He glanced at Sakura and shook his head; it wasn't worth it.

"Let's add each other as friends. I'll send you the images; the method is in there."

Long Aotian said, looking at Horikita Suzune.

After sending the images, he said, "These are the midterm papers from the Second Year from previous years. I checked, and the Third Year's were the same, so I expect this year's will be too. If you don't believe me, you can investigate it yourself. I estimate there's about a seventy percent chance of similarity. If it turns out to be wrong, I can refund your points, but I can't guarantee that this will definitely make you pass."

He glanced at Ayanokoji, then turned to Sakura and said, "Let's go, Sakura."

"Mm-hmm."

Ayanokoji might have sensed that something about this whole situation was off, but so what? Long Aotian didn't care. Could he force the points back out of his hands? Impossible. The key was that this method was merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause; the exams that followed would still give them plenty of headaches.

[Points: Originally 11.84 million → Now 11.90 million (50,000 points from the fake account not included) (Buff bonus 40,000 → 60,000)]

[Ding! Plot interference completed.]

[Reward: Double Points Card: Can double personal points, limited to one day (No need to worry about the school or others discovering anomalies; everything will be processed as reasonable)]

Oh ho, hit the jackpot. But there was no rush to use it; there was still a big surprise coming tonight~
