Although Su Ke was angry at being scolded by his math teacher, he was helpless. He recognized every single one of the dense equations on the blackboard, but he had no idea how to solve them, leaving him flushed with anxiety.

"Get out!" The math teacher pointed at the classroom door and shouted again. Although Su Ke's offense was minor, the teacher felt compelled to act, intending to make an example of him to warn the others.

Class 3-8 was considered a lower-middle-tier class in the grade, and most of the students had some bad habits. The boys talked and messed around during class, while some girls held small mirrors to pop pimples, and others even had earphones stuffed in their ears.

Su Ke's sudden, foolish laugh caused Wu Ming, who had been suppressing his temper, to explode. He had never paid any attention to this introverted, mediocre boy who was usually as invisible as air, but now he felt as though Su Ke was slapping him in the face—slapped by a boy who usually sat as quietly as a ghost.

"Teacher Wu, I!" Su Ke opened his mouth, but no sound came out; he was truly terrified.

"Out!" Wu Ming pointed at the door again, his expression stern and his eyes burning with rage.

Su Ke lowered his head and walked out from his seat. He could only submit to the teacher's demands, lacking the courage to talk back. The entire class had stopped what they were doing, watching him walk out step by step.

Suddenly, he stopped, slowly raised his head, and walked quickly toward the podium.

Wu Ming was stunned. Watching Su Ke stride toward him, he felt an ominous sensation. Could he be planning to hit a teacher? He stepped back while shouting, "What are you doing?"

Su Ke ignored him. The moment he had left his seat, a cool sensation had flooded his mind, bringing with it a vast amount of mathematical knowledge. Theorems and formulas suddenly became crystal clear, and the math problem on the board that had left him stumped a moment ago now seemed incredibly easy.

Picking up the chalk from the podium, Su Ke wrote furiously. He only glanced at the problem once, and the solution path appeared in his mind; his right hand simply acted to transcribe the answer.

"Snap!" Su Ke tossed the chalk stub onto the podium and finally looked at Wu Ming.

"Teacher Wu, is my solution correct?"

Wu Ming had been shocked from the moment Su Ke stepped onto the podium. This kid had always been timid, blushing when talking to girls and speaking like a mosquito even to his male classmates; yet now, he had dared to charge up to the podium.

Furthermore, looking at the answer written on the board—the steps were clear and the result was correct—he was even more astonished. The problem was highly difficult, and Wu Ming believed that no more than three people in the entire class could solve it, and Su Ke was definitely not among them.

"Correct!" Wu Ming stiffened his face, deliberately looking at the blackboard as he spoke.

Su Ke brushed the chalk dust off his hands and walked straight back to his seat, but this time he didn't lower his head, and a rare trace of a smile played on his lips.

Wei Lan looked at Su Ke as if seeing him for the first time. With his delicate features, bright eyes, and an indescribable smile at the corner of his mouth, was this really the invisible Su Ke? The Su Ke who was as shy as a girl? Thinking this, the study committee member Wei Lan suddenly felt a spark of curiosity toward him.

Su Ke sat down, feigning ease, and looked up just in time to meet the math teacher's gaze. It was Wu Ming who looked away first.

"Students, Su Ke's solution to this problem is completely correct!" Wu Ming's voice rang out, but Su Ke had already begun to giggle foolishly again. The Flower Picking System was real! The one hundred yuan was real! High School Math Mastery (Beginner) was also real!

This is a miracle bestowed upon me by the heavens! With this Flower Picking System, I will definitely change my destiny! Su Ke shouted in his heart.

Suddenly, a cold, mechanical prompt sounded in his mind. Su Ke, no longer caring about Wu Ming's lecture, quickly entered that strange space and looked at the electronic screen. One look was all it took to break out in a cold sweat.

"Task: Touch Li Feifei's buttocks; Reward: 200 RMB."

Oh my god, isn't this going to be the death of me? Su Ke was dumbfounded. Seeing the task prompt, he immediately recalled Li Feifei's ferocious, man-eating expression.

They say you shouldn't touch a tiger's backside, but he was being asked to touch a tigress's! And the worst part was, he had to touch it again and again!

Li Feifei was the famous school beauty of No. 17 High School. Although Su Ke had always been very introverted, he still had an interest in beautiful things; otherwise, he wouldn't have sought Li Feifei out and completed the previous task.

Exiting the space, Su Ke sat blankly at his desk, his mind wandering as he blocked out everything the teacher said. He remained in this state until school ended.

As he retrieved his half-new mountain bike from the shed, his peripheral vision caught a familiar figure brushing past him. Or perhaps, a familiar pair of buttocks—those two swaying spheres wrapped in denim shorts had already taken deep root in his heart.

Su Ke quickly turned his head away, his heart rate accelerating again. His mouth went dry, his legs felt weak, and his breathing grew rapid. He waited until the figure was no longer visible before pushing his bike out and fleeing as if his life depended on it.

I have to touch it again?

What if I get caught?

But honestly, it really was quite bouncy!

And so, with his head full of nothing but buttocks, Su Ke finally returned to the small shop run by his parents.

"Mom, Dad, I'm home!" Su Ke put his schoolbag in the back storage room and went out to help. His parents ran a small supermarket at the entrance of the residential complex. Besides cigarettes, alcohol, tea, sugar, rice, flour, oil, and daily necessities, they also sold fruits and vegetables.

It was the time when people got off work, so the shop was quite busy with residents from the complex. Most came to buy vegetables for dinner. Naturally, vegetables were the most profitable item, all of which Su Ke's father hauled back from the wholesale market at four in the morning.

Su Ke helped his parents in the shop every night and usually didn't get to eat dinner until after nine-thirty, but he was already used to it; he just made sure to eat more at lunch. As he emerged from the storage room, someone pushed the door open.

"Su Ke, back from school?" The woman who entered had long hair draped over her shoulders and looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Su Ke knew she was a resident of the complex who worked at the mobile service hall. Her name was Liu Mengmeng, and she had been married for a short time. She had a voluptuous figure, especially the soft flesh on her chest, which was quite mountainous.

Liu Mengmeng was wearing her company's summer uniform, with a silk striped square scarf tied around her neck, making her look dignified, elegant, and beautiful. Her top was a slim-fitting white short-sleeved shirt, and her chest seemed so full it might burst the buttons at any moment. Below, she wore a pure black pencil skirt that reached just to her knees.

"Hello, Sister Liu!" Seeing Liu Mengmeng greet him, Su Ke's face turned red instantly, and he quickly lowered his head. He knew this was what the internet called "uniform temptation," but in truth, she did look very beautiful, and his heart began to race again.

Seeing Su Ke's shy appearance, Liu Mengmeng smiled and went to pick out her items.

Suddenly, Su Ke felt a change in the space within his mind. Entering the space, a new task appeared on the electronic screen.

"Task: Check the color of Liu Mengmeng's underwear; Reward: 200 RMB."
