Playing This Wildly?

After bidding farewell to Aunt Mei and Qiqi, Wen Nan hurried toward the teaching building. Just as he stepped onto the stairs, a system notification rang in his mind.

9527: [Your 3-hour trial period for the Newbie Gift Pack has ended.]

9527: [Your Charm stat has reverted to its initial value: 4/100. Please be advised.]

Wen Nan's footsteps faltered.

It ended so soon?

A subtle tingling sensation returned to his skin and bones; it seemed he had reverted to his original appearance.

Wen Nan hadn't looked in a mirror, so he wasn't sure exactly how handsome he had become with maxed-out Charm. In truth, he was already quite handsome himself—known as the Taoyuan Eddie Peng—so using his original face to date would certainly be no problem at all.

However, the kind of scene he'd pulled on the playground earlier, pinning the "Little Chili" against the wall for a forced kiss, was definitely off the table now.

Forced kisses, without the support of maxed-out Charm, were no different from sexual harassment. Instead of soothing a girl's emotions, it would likely result in a "women's tag-team" beating.

Therefore, when he met the final target, he had to remain restrained, keep his distance, and avoid doing anything out of line.

With this thought, Wen Nan continued walking upstairs.

"Ah—!"

Just as he reached the third-floor landing, a heart-wrenching scream rang out, making Wen Nan's heart tighten.

What's going on?

He followed the direction of the sound, turned toward the faculty office on the other side, and through the window, saw the Fatty hunched over a desk from afar, his butt stuck up in a very flamboyant pose...

Whack!

"Ah—!"

Whack!

"Ah—!"

Whack!

"Ah—!"

Every time the homeroom teacher brought the rattan cane down with force, the Fatty would let out a shriek like a squeaky toy.

Wen Nan: ...

He felt like he had seen something he shouldn't have...

Is the theme the Fatty chose really this wild?

Wen Nan didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked.

Ultimately choosing to respect everyone's unique preferences, he silently left the window of the faculty office, leaving this beautiful night for the Fatty and the homeroom teacher to enjoy in private.

[hhh]

[hhhhhhhhh]

[hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

[I can't take it, why is the Fatty's style like this?]

[Didn't he choose the uptight, married homeroom teacher? That's not a female ghost, right?]

[Not a ghost, it's a neutral NPC.]

[How did he end up in such a miserable state trying to romance a neutral NPC?]

[You guys are still too young; you don't understand. Sometimes, people are scarier than ghosts. A menopausal, married homeroom teacher with an unhappy home life and a stagnant career is far more terrifying than a school-beauty ghost!]

[Too tragic. Has anyone checked the livestream next door? Has the Fatty really been taking a beating like that all night?]

[Just came from next door, and I can tell you responsibly: yes!]

[All night, just taking a beating like that!]

[He hasn't even changed his pose; he's been in that downward-dog position the whole time!]

[hhh]

[hhhhhhhhh]

[Won't his butt actually bloom like a flower?]

[Need you even ask? He opened a betting pool on whether he'd be beaten to death, and the odds hit 11.38. What do you think?]

[Actually, it wasn't this miserable at the start. After all, the Fatty chose to max out his Armor for his Newbie Gift Pack, so he was thick-skinned and very durable.]

[But he couldn't help it when the trial time for the maxed-out Armor just ended.]

[Tragic.]

[Too tragic.]

[Which one is the Fatty's livestream? I'm going over to place a bet.]

[Right next door in the first room, the "Small and Cute" livestream, don't let the door hit you on the way out.]

[I'm leaving, going to check that out.]

[I'll keep camping in the expert's livestream.]

[Not interested in that kind of masochistic drama.]

[Watching the expert perform consistently is more interesting.]

[Camping here too.]

[Camping.]

[Camping.]

[Of the four targets revealed so far, one is three-star, two are three-and-a-half-star, and one is four-and-a-half-star. These are all high-level female ghosts rarely seen in the novice trial zone. As for this last one, who knows what level she'll be.]

[Maybe she'll break through to five stars.]

[Five stars? No way, that's a level you only encounter in intermediate maps and above.]

[Who knows? With this expert, we've seen everything.]

[That's true.]

[Camping.]

[Camping.]

The meeting place Wen Nan had agreed upon with his final target—the aloof and cunning top student—was at the back door of their classroom.

Walking past the front door marked "Grade 12, Class 2," his gaze swept through the empty classroom, and Wen Nan immediately spotted the figure sitting at a desk by the back door.

At that moment, the system's voice rang out in his mind.

[Name: Yu Shujun (Xiaojun)]
[Identity: Aloof and cunning top student]
[Background: Yu Shujun has been a top student since childhood. Whether in major exams or minor quizzes, her grades have always ranked first in the grade, never once falling to second.
She has absolutely no interest in anything other than studying. Aside from attending classes, taking exams, finishing homework, and participating in Olympiad competitions, her high school life is devoid of any other activities.
She is not only immune to romance but also immune to friendship.
She has always been a loner, with no lovers, no friends, and no social connections that might distract her.
She doesn't participate in extracurricular activities, doesn't attend class dinners or mixers, doesn't care about current events, and doesn't follow celebrities or watch dramas. Her life is so simple it borders on boring—study, study, and more study.
She has a very clear plan for her life, and as long as she follows it step by step, she believes she is destined to become a winner in life.
Therefore, your appearance makes her feel flustered.
This fluster stems from a loss of control—her life is beginning to spiral, and her path is starting to derail.
During the final sprint of senior year, the head teacher launched a one-on-one tutoring program, and you are Yu Shujun's assigned tutee.
Being forced to set aside extra study time to tutor a "problem student" like you has already made Yu Shujun feel annoyed.
What she fears even more is her own heart, which is becoming increasingly uncontrollable.
She has actually started to develop feelings for you, unable to help herself, growing fonder of you by the day.
She loathes this feeling of losing control and wants to distance herself from you, yet deep down, she cannot help but want to be near you, wanting more opportunities to have close contact with you.
Amidst these conflicting emotions, she has followed the original plan and invited you to the classroom to explain the test papers handed out today.]
[Difficulty: ★☆]

Seeing this background introduction, Wen Nan was slightly taken aback.

One and a half stars?

Such a low difficulty?

It wasn't that Wen Nan enjoyed high-difficulty challenges, but the previous four targets were at least three stars. Wen Nan had assumed that the girls in this trial map were all around the three-star level or higher.

However, he couldn't ask for anything easier.

With that thought, he stepped toward the back door of the classroom and called out, "Xiaojun."

The girl looked up at him.

Seeing her face clearly, Wen Nan was stunned.
