Physical Description

Xiao Wu is a strikingly beautiful young girl with a delicate, almost ethereal appearance. Her skin is so fair it seems translucent under moonlight, and her long, smooth legs are often accentuated by gray silk stockings and crystal high heels 23 37. She typically wears a pink gauze dress that sways gently as she moves, and her long black hair is usually tied into a neat, spirited scorpion braid 24 37. Her face is clean and fair, with large, round eyes that have slightly upturned corners and lips that are a natural pale pink 22. Overall, her look combines girlish charm with a touch of elegance, often described as being sculpted from moonlight 23.

• Hair: Long black hair, usually styled in a neat scorpion braid 24; when unbraided, it falls loosely over her shoulders 22.
• Dress: A pink gauze dress with thin straps and side ribbons, often described as soft and light 23; the hem sways with her steps 37.
• Footwear: Crystal high heels that tap crisply on the pavement, paired occasionally with flat cloth shoes at night 23 37.
• Stockings: Gray silk stockings covering her slender calves 37.
• Accessories: A Pink Rabbit Pendant (a cloth rabbit) kept under her pillow or in her clothing 10 24. She also possesses a pink nightgown for sleep 21.

Personality

Xiao Wu is a complex and multifaceted individual whose actions are driven by a potent blend of ambition, loyalty, and impulsiveness. She is fiercely determined, stopping at nothing to achieve her goals, whether that means exposing a manipulative classmate, rapidly increasing her soul power, or securing the favor of a mortal shopkeeper. This determination often manifests as a strong competitive streak; she takes obvious delight in surpassing her peers, such as when she secretly reaches Silver Member status and laughs at Ning Rongrong's lower rank 24. However, her drive is matched by an impulsive nature that can lead her to act rashly and without full consideration of the consequences. As noted, "Xiao Wu was impatient by nature. The more he hesitated, the more anxious she became. When she got anxious, she tended to lose her head, and when she lost her head, she tended to do impulsive things" 22. This impulsivity, combined with her resourcefulness, can also make her manipulative, as she is willing to use her Charm soul skill to override Qin Chuan's resistance and achieve her own ends 22. Beneath this calculating exterior, Xiao Wu is deeply protective of her friends and those she perceives as vulnerable, stepping in to stop Tang San from harassing new female students and later lying to academy authorities to shield her dormmates and the secret of their power gains 43. She also shows a caring, even tender side through small acts, like bringing Qin Chuan breakfast every day 51, and a playful, mischievous sense of humor, often teasing her friends and taking joy in her private victories 8. Overall, Xiao Wu is a character of vivid contrasts: ambitious yet loyal, calculating yet impulsive, and secretly caring beneath a confident and sometimes combative exterior.

• Determined: Unwaveringly pursues her objectives, such as leveling up quickly or exposing Tang San's deceit, often without regard for personal risk or moral boundaries 2 22.
• Impulsive: Acts on sudden urges and strong emotions, leading her to make hasty decisions like sneaking out at night to use her Charm on Qin Chuan 22.
• Protective: Stands up for her friends and other vulnerable individuals, intervening to protect Huo Wu from Tang San and lying to Qian Renxue to shield her dormmates 2 43.
• Competitive: Possesses a strong desire to win and surpass others, taking intense pride in her accomplishments and secretly enjoying being ahead of friends like Ning Rongrong 24.
• Resourceful: Quick to devise plans and adapt to situations, as shown when she fabricates a plausible lie to explain her power increase during Qian Renxue's interrogation 43.
• Secretive: Willingly hides her activities and motivations, maintaining a facade of normalcy while engaging in clandestine visits to the claw machine shop and concealing her Silver Member status 24 43.
• Assertive: Confidently takes charge in interactions, whether confronting Tang San on the sports field or initiating her relationship with Qin Chuan 2 22.
• Caring: Shows genuine warmth and consideration through repeated actions, such as bringing Qin Chuan breakfast daily 51.
• Playful: Enjoys teasing and laughing with friends, taking delight in humorous situations like Oscar's misfortune 8 24.

Abilities and Skills

Teleport

Xiao Wu's third soul skill grants her the ability to instantly vanish from her current location and reappear at another point within an undetermined range. In combat, she used it to escape Tang San's Blue Silver Cage without breaking the cage, reappearing at his side to land a kick. The skill appears to require no visible activation delay and allows for precise positioning, as she teleported directly to Tang San's right side.

• Applications: Used to evade area-of-effect imprisonment skills and to counterattack from unexpected angles. Combined with her physical strength, teleportation enables hit-and-run tactics against opponents with higher raw power.
• Limitations: The exact range and cooldown are not specified, but it cannot be used to phase through solid barriers—it simply relocates the user. It may require a clear line of sight to the destination, as she teleported to Tang San's visible flank.

Charm

Xiao Wu's second soul skill emits a soft pink halo that influences the target's emotions and perceptions. When used on Qin Chuan, a mortal with no soul power resistance, the effect was nearly one hundred percent, causing him to become receptive to her requests and proximity.

• Applications: Used to persuade or manipulate individuals, especially those without strong soul power defenses. Can overcome reluctance or hesitation in social interactions.
• Limitations: Effectiveness depends on the target's soul power level and mental resistance. Against soul masters, the charm may be resisted or partially effective. It is a single-target or small-area effect? The text only shows it enveloping the entire shop when used on Qin Chuan.

Void and Violent Killing Eight-Stage Throw

A 90,000-year soul skill obtained by Xiao Wu from a high-tier claw machine doll. It consists of two components: Void grants immunity to all physical and energy attacks for an unspecified duration; Violent Killing Eight-Stage Throw is a multi-hit combo where once the first strike connects, the opponent cannot resist, and each subsequent hit carries a stun effect for a total of eight consecutive throws.

• Applications: Void makes her temporarily invulnerable, ideal for initiating or surviving high-damage exchanges. The Eight-Stage Throw is a guaranteed combo finisher against any target that can be hit once, bypassing normal defensive actions.
• Limitations: The immunity duration is unknown; it may be short. The combo requires the first hit to land—if it misses, the skill cannot be triggered. The stun effect duration per hit is not specified. Possibly has a cooldown like other high-tier skills.

Double Speed

A buff that Zhu Zhuqing can activate to greatly increase her speed for ten minutes. During her spar with Dai Mubai, she used it to move faster than his eye could track, dodging all his attacks and landing multiple hits on his weak points.

• Applications: Grants a temporary speed advantage against opponents with superior strength or close-range attacks. Allows evasion of area-effect skills and rapid counterattacks. Effective for agility-type soul masters relying on mobility.
• Limitations: Duration fixed at ten minutes; cannot be maintained for extended fights. The speed boost seems proportional to base speed; no exact multiplier given. Provides no defensive or offensive bonuses beyond speed.

Nether Flying Wings

An 80,000-year soul skill obtained by Zhu Zhuqing that grants her the ability to fly with no time limit. Flight dramatically increases her mobility, enabling her to engage aerial targets or withdraw from ground combat.

• Applications: Provides vertical and three-dimensional movement, allowing escape from grounded opponents and access to high ground. Combined with her speed, she can harass enemies from the air and reposition instantly.
• Limitations: No altitude or speed restrictions are mentioned. The skill may be activated and deactivated at will. It does not provide any other enhancements—she remains vulnerable to mid-air attacks if caught.

Evasion

A 50,000-year soul skill possessed by Bai Chenxiang that, upon activation, grants 100% evasion against all attacks for ten seconds, with a three-minute cooldown.

• Applications: Guarantees survival or invulnerability during a short window, useful for escaping deadly blows or activating a counterattack without risk. Can be used tactically to bait opponents into overextending.
• Limitations: Only lasts ten seconds; cooldown of three minutes cannot be used consecutively. Does not negate area effects that cannot be “evaded”? The description says “against all attacks,” implying dodge of targeted strikes but may not protect against continuous damage fields.

Blue Silver Cage

Tang San's fourth soul skill generates over twenty thick stalks of Blue Silver Grass that weave into an airtight cylindrical cage around a target, with paralytic barbs on the surface. It is designed to trap opponents of equal or slightly lower rank.

• Applications: Imprisonment in a confined space; the barbs inject paralyzing toxins upon contact, weakening or immobilizing the target. Can be used to isolate a single enemy or protect an area.
• Limitations: The cage can be bypassed by teleportation or other spatial abilities, as Xiao Wu did. It can be broken by sufficient force—Xiao Wu chose to teleport rather than test her strength. The toxin may not affect high-level soul masters with immunity.

Blue Silver Overlord Spear

Tang San's fifth soul skill condenses his Blue Silver Grass into a spear with high speed and immense piercing power. It is described as his trump card, capable of damaging a soul master of the same rank if taken head-on.

• Applications: A concentrated piercing attack effective against single foes, especially those with physical defenses. Its speed makes it difficult to dodge at close range.
• Limitations: Linear trajectory; can be missed or blocked if the target has sufficient speed or defensive abilities. Requires soul power to maintain; may leave Tang San vulnerable after firing. Not shown to have homing properties.

Speedy Flight Mushroom Sausage

Oscar's third soul skill creates a grayish-brown mushroom sausage that, when consumed, grants a pair of transparent wings on the back, enabling flight. Oscar used it against Ning Rongrong to gain aerial mobility.

• Applications: Provides temporary flight for physical attacks from above or escape from ground-based threats.
• Limitations: The wings have a limited duration (not specified). The sausage must be created and eaten before use, so it cannot be activated instantly. The user is still vulnerable in the air.

Fake Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring

Bai Chenxiang obtained a doll from the claw machine that replaced her existing black soul ring with a red ten-thousand-year soul ring in appearance for eight hours. The effect is purely visual; the actual soul ring underneath remains unchanged.

• Applications: Used for deception and intimidation, as a red soul ring is associated with extreme power and danger. The girls used it to scare Ma Hongjun into believing Bai Chenxiang was a formidable soul master.
• Limitations: Lasts only eight hours; after that, the red ring disappears and the black one returns. The fake ring provides no actual power increase. Its effectiveness relies on the target's ignorance of the trick.

Relationships

**Qin Chuan**

Qin Chuan is the mortal shopkeeper of the “Happy Claw Machine” shop, entirely unaware that the young women who frequent his establishment are using their interactions with him to gain secret membership experience and level up. Maintaining a professional yet approachable demeanor, he treats each visitor with polite warmth—accepting Xiao Wu’s grape-feeding, allowing Ning Rongrong to massage his shoulders, and letting Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang clean his shop 51. He is genuinely puzzled by the sudden romantic confessions he receives. When Ning Rongrong confesses and kisses him, he rejects her with the self-deprecating observation that “a man with empty pockets shouldn’t lead a beautiful woman astray,” showing his lack of confidence and his sense of unworthiness as a mortal in a world of powerful soul masters 21. Later, when Xiao Wu knocks on his door in the middle of the night and asks him to be her boyfriend, he is bewildered, noting that two girls have suddenly taken an interest in him 22. Under the influence of Xiao Wu’s Charm skill, he succumbs and shares an intimate night with her, after which he sleeps soundly, unaware that she has used the encounter to level up in the system 23. Despite these interactions, Qin Chuan remains largely oblivious to the girls’ hidden competition for his favor and the system’s mechanics. He casually reveals to Xiao Wu that he plans to go fishing with Hu Liena, showing no awareness of the jealousy this triggers 51. His relationships with the girls are thus defined by his own innocence and the stark contrast between his simple contentment and their calculated maneuvering.

**Xiao Wu**

Xiao Wu is the most proactive and competitive of the four roommates in her relationship with Qin Chuan. Initially, she discovers the shop and wins a pink rabbit pendant that boosts her soul power eight levels overnight, setting her on a path of rapid growth 2. She quickly befriends Ning Rongrong and shares the secret, then brings Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang into the fold, showing a strong sense of camaraderie 8 10. However, once she learns from Ning Rongrong that kissing Qin Chuan grants 10 membership experience points—more than double the five points earned from chores—a fierce rivalry ignites within her 21. She lies in bed that night, calculating that if she goes further than Ning Rongrong, she might earn even more points, and she decides to act 21. The very next night, she sneaks out to the shop and, using her Charm second soul skill, persuades a reluctant Qin Chuan to be her boyfriend, leading to an intimate encounter that elevates her from Ordinary to Silver Member 22 23. She keeps her new status secret from her roommates, snickering to herself when Ning Rongrong remains only a Bronze Member 24. Xiao Wu’s relationship with Qin Chuan is thus a strategic calculation tinged with genuine affection; she enjoys feeding him grapes and spending time with him, but her primary motivation is to gain an edge in the competition for prizes and strength 51. Her jealousy flares when she learns that Hu Liena has been going on solo fishing trips with Qin Chuan, earning far more experience than her own daily grape-feeding sessions 51. She also holds a deep grudge against Tang San, having humiliated him in a public fight for harassing female students, and she later lies to Qian Renxue to protect the shop’s secret 3 43.

**Ning Rongrong**

Ning Rongrong is the bold one among the roommates—the first to act on the system’s prompt that “showing affection to Brother Chuan increases membership experience” 21. After visiting the shop and winning a white cat pendant that gives her two levels and a soul bone, she returns with Xiao Wu and becomes increasingly curious about the ways to gain the shopkeeper’s favor 5 10. One afternoon, she delivers food to Qin Chuan and offers to clean his shop, earning 5 member EXP 18. But it is her confession and kiss that truly unlock progress: she gathers her courage, tells Qin Chuan her feelings, and after being gently rejected, she kisses him on the lips, immediately leveling up from Ordinary to Bronze Member 21. She shares this discovery with her roommates in a late-night whispered conversation, but she does not disclose the full extent of her boldness until pressed by Xiao Wu 21. Ning Rongrong’s relationship with Qin Chuan is marked by her initiative and care: she massages his shoulders, cleans the counter, and is visibly affected when he mentions his fishing plans with Hu Liena 51. She also maintains a close friendship with Xiao Wu, laughing together over Oscar’s stone mushroom sausage mishap, but the competitive undercurrent regarding Qin Chuan’s attention is always present 8. Unlike Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong does not employ any charm skills or deception; her approach is more straightforward, albeit still driven by the desire for leveling up.

**Hu Liena**

Hu Liena’s relationship with Qin Chuan is more secretive and strategically intimate than that of the other girls. As the vice-president of the academy, she initially visits the claw machine shop under the guise of curiosity, but she quickly discovers the same system that the dormitory girls use 33. Qian Renxue notes that Hu Liena “secretly visiting a claw machine shop and meeting a mortal man” 33. Hu Liena leverages her maturity and confidence to take Qin Chuan on a “fishing trip” to the Star Dou Forest, which is actually a cover for grinding membership experience points 38. During this trip, she shares an intimate tent encounter with Qin Chuan, witnessed inadvertently by Qian Renxue, and afterward she levels up to Gold Member—far surpassing the Bronze and Silver statuses of the four younger girls 38 42. Hu Liena’s relationship with Qin Chuan is characterized by her ability to stay composed around him even while struggling with her own feelings; she “struggles to maintain her composure around Qin Chuan, revealing her true feelings and intentions” 38. She is aware of the jealousy she inspires in Xiao Wu and the others, and she “chuckles to herself” when she sees their sullen reactions 38. Unlike the dormitory girls, Hu Liena does not have to share Qin Chuan’s time with roommates; she secures exclusive outings, which gives her a significant advantage in the game. Her relationship with Qin Chuan thus represents the next tier of commitment and reward, and it serves as a major source of tension and motivation for the other girls.

**Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang**

Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang are the quieter, more reserved members of Dormitory 666, but they are drawn into the circle surrounding Qin Chuan after Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong share their secret 10. Initially, they experience male harassment: Zhu Zhuqing is “pestered by Dai Mubai every day,” and Bai Chenxiang is “harassed by Ma Hongjun several times” 8. The shop provides them with a path to strength and a safe haven. When they first visit the shop and help with chores, they quickly understand the system: Zhu Zhuqing, after wiping down claw machines, hears a notification sound in her mind, confirming her membership experience increase 24. Both girls develop a quiet, diligent relationship with Qin Chuan. Zhu Zhuqing focuses on tasks like mopping floors with intense determination, unwilling to lose in the competition for his favor 24 51. Bai Chenxiang washes curtains and wins the first doll of the group from the claw machine, triggering a voice transmission that hints at special abilities 24. Though they are not as forward as Xiao Wu or Ning Rongrong, they are equally affected by Qin Chuan’s plans with Hu Liena: Zhu Zhuqing’s mopping motion slows, and Bai Chenxiang’s hands “suddenly clench tight” when they hear about the fishing trips 51. Their relationship with Qin Chuan is thus one of quiet loyalty and shared purpose, bolstered by their friendship with the other two girls. They also develop a mutual respect for each other, standing together in the face of the F4’s hostility and later in their collective resolve to keep the shop’s secret and find ways to catch up to Hu Liena 50.

**Tang San**

Tang San’s relationship with Xiao Wu is defined by humiliation, rivalry, and suspicion. He is the leader of the Campus F4, a level 69 Soul Emperor, and is initially portrayed as a manipulative womanizer who uses his charm to pursue new female students 2. When he tries to woo the new student Huo Wu, Xiao Wu intervenes, exposes his past behavior, and defeats him in a humiliating public fight that sends him crashing into a wall 2 3. This defeat shatters Tang San’s confidence and fuels a burning desire to uncover Xiao Wu’s secret. He confides in Oscar, expressing frustration and determination to investigate her sudden power surge 3. His relationship with Xiao Wu is thus adversarial: he sees her as a threat to his status and the source of the unexplained strength gains of the girls in Dormitory 666. He also feels betrayed by the academy’s official investigation, which concludes that the girls’ improvements are merely “personal fortunes,” and he bonds with his friends Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun over their shared humiliation 43. Tang San’s interactions with Qin Chuan are minimal, but he indirectly targets the shop via his suspicions and letters to the administration 43. His conflict with Xiao Wu is the central antagonistic relationship, representing the clash between the old male-dominated hierarchy and the new order empowered by the claw machine system.

Story Synopsis

Initial Discovery and First Triumphs

Xiao Wu, a student at Spirit Academy, stumbles upon a nondescript claw machine shop called "Happy Claw Machine" run by Qin Chuan, a man who has transmigrated from Earth. On her first visit, she wins a pink rabbit pendant, and the system immediately grants her a staggering bonus—eight levels of soul power, jumping from level 62 to level 70 1 2. Empowered by this rapid increase, Xiao Wu publicly confronts and defeats the overconfident Tang San, a level 69 Soul Emperor, after exposing his manipulative behavior toward new female students. The humiliation of the so-called "Campus F4" begins 2 3. Excited by her gains, Xiao Wu brings her roommate Ning Rongrong to the shop. On her third attempt, Ning Rongrong wins a white cat pendant, receiving two levels in soul power and an 8,000-year Medusa head bone with an active skill 5. The next day, two more roommates—the cold and determined Zhu Zhuqing and the quiet Bai Chenxiang—join them. After registering on the crystal ball, they all play the claw machines, though only Bai Chenxiang successfully catches a doll (a Ragdoll Swallow), which grants her a fake Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring 11 25.

The Secret of Membership and Rapid Leveling

The girls soon realize that the shop operates on a membership system, and experience points can be earned not just by winning but by pleasing the shopkeeper. Ning Rongrong discovers that helping Qin Chuan with chores or receiving his favor increases membership EXP. Acting on this, she confesses to Qin Chuan and kisses him, instantly raising her membership from Ordinary to Bronze Member, unlocking additional daily attempts and access to the High-Tier Zone 21. Xiao Wu, driven by competitive spirit and the desire for even greater gains, takes a more drastic step. She sneaks out of her dormitory at night, knocks on the shop door, and uses her Charm soul skill to seduce Qin Chuan. After a night of intimacy, her membership EXP skyrockets by 100 points, boosting her directly from Ordinary to Silver Member—skipping Bronze entirely 22 23. As a Silver Member, she gains two extra game coins and two extra daily attempts, and unlocks the High-Tier Zone. The next morning, she secretly enjoys her five attempts while concealing her newfound advantage from her roommates 24.

Escalation, Rivalries, and Inner Competition

As the four girls—Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang—begin to reap the rewards of the claw machine, their power grows exponentially. Xiao Wu obtains a 90,000-year soul skill, Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda levels up, Zhu Zhuqing gains the ability to fly, and Bai Chenxiang obtains a 50,000-year soul skill. They agree to keep these gains a secret, especially from Qin Chuan himself, and to avoid attracting attention 50. Meanwhile, Tang San, humiliated and desperate for revenge, returns to the Clear Sky Sect. His uncle, Sect Master Tang Xiao, refuses to directly intervene but provides him with a thirty-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape soul ring for his second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer 45 46.

The girls soon realize they face a new competitor: Hu Liena, a senior student who has discovered the shop's secrets and has already reached Gold Member status. Hu Liena monopolizes the afternoon sessions, gets six attempts per day, and draws superior prizes. The four girls feel a sense of crisis and intensify their efforts to grind membership EXP by pleasing Qin Chuan—doing chores, running errands, and showing him affection—each trying to outdo the others 38 50. Over the course of a week, while Tang San and his group train rigorously, the four girls skip classes to serve Qin Chuan, steadily accumulating EXP and gaping the competitive gap with Hu Liena 48. Their schemes also include using Bai Chenxiang's fake Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring to scare off the persistent Ma Hongjun, one of the F4 members 25.

Consequences and Looming Threats

The rapid power increases of the four girls do not go unnoticed. During an investigation by instructor Qian Renxue, the girls are questioned about possible collusion with outside forces. They deflect by citing personal good fortune, but the administration remains suspicious 43. The rivalry with Tang San and his group intensifies; the F4 train diligently for revenge while the girls focus on maximizing their claw machine benefits. With each passing day, the gap between the two groups widens, and the secrets of the God-Tier Claw Machine begin to reshape the power dynamics of the entire academy, setting the stage for future confrontations and alliances 48 50.
