Chapter 47: Top Ten Campus Hunks

After finishing dinner, it was already nearly ten o'clock. Su Ke finished all his homework first, then hurriedly sat down in front of the computer. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he was actually quite concerned about that video of himself.

Logging onto the Langfang Hotline website, he was surprised to see that the video had already made it to the homepage. He couldn't help but watch it from start to finish once more before finally starting to scroll through the comments below.

"Young man, well done!"

"There aren't many people like this left nowadays. Upvoted!"

"Wow! The moves are so cool! Just like Donnie Yen!"

"What Donnie Yen? That's Bruce Lee, alright!"

"Handsome looks, kind heart, good karma!"

Watching the comments roll in, a smile began to spread across Su Ke's face involuntarily. Doing good deeds was actually such a meaningful thing. He wondered what it looked like on Tieba.

After Wang Xiaogang had reposted this video to the No. 17 High School Tieba, it had immediately attracted quite a bit of popularity. That freshman girl had sought him out precisely because of this video. Opening Tieba, he saw that Wang Xiaogang's video post was indeed still pinned to the top.

However, below that post, another one had appeared, and the title was actually related to him.

"Explosive! Su Ke shows off his might in the cafeteria, kicking and punching the Dean's son!"

Seeing that the poster was anonymous—likely for fear of being investigated by the Dean, Li XueliangSu Ke clicked the mouse, and a video screen immediately appeared.

It was clearly filmed with a mobile phone. Although the image wasn't very clear, it still captured Su Ke's agile posture and clean, swift movements perfectly. The focus was also placed on Li Daxing, who was covered in vegetable soup, the somewhat panicked Li Feifei, and the righteous-looking Su Ke.

Moreover, he didn't know how the person had filmed it, but the phone even had a zoom function, giving Su Ke a close-up. His delicate face, bright eyes, and a faint, elusive smile at the corners of his mouth made him look very cool yet charming.

The entire video wasn't long, only a little over four minutes, but the text below the video explained the whole incident, otherwise, it might have painted Su Ke as a school bully who preyed on the weak.

"Li Daxing is such an annoying guy, he's always bullying freshmen!"

"Su Ke is mighty!"

"Yeah! Three against one, a total victory, truly impressive!"

"Isn't that girl the school beauty Li Feifei? Su Ke is simply a Flower Protecting Dragon!"

"What do you mean 'isn't that'? It is Li Feifei. Didn't you see the two of them were on a date?"

"Oh! My heart is shattered. Li Feifei is my dream lover; is she really going to be taken by this kid Su Ke?"

"Su Ke, Su Ke, I love you, just like a mouse loves rice!"

"The person above is a fan-girl, confirmed!"

"I see Su Ke going home with that girl Wei Lan from his class every day. He already has the class beauty, yet he still wants to snatch the school beauty. Go to hell!"

"Su Ke is a heartless playboy, snatching the class beauty and then the school beauty. If I ever run into him, I'll definitely shove a chrysanthemum up his ass!"

"I'll definitely shove a chrysanthemum up his ass, and I'll laugh out loud while I do it. The class beauty and school beauty both belong to me, that would be just too beautiful!"

"That would be just too beautiful? Stop dreaming, go take a leak and look at your reflection, you're just a big idiot!"

"The people above are all gods, but it seems the thread has gone off-track!"

"Don't smear my Su Ke, Su Ke is a good person!"

Su Ke scrolled with his mouse, watching the replies one by one. His face turned from blue to white, feeling incredibly melancholy. It was supposed to be a small matter, but he hadn't expected to become a "heartless playboy." Fortunately, there were still people with the wisdom to recognize a hero, or he would have been depressed to death.

He turned off the computer and lay on his bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He entered the Flower Picking System's space and, looking at the "Help" option on the electronic screen, clicked it casually.

"The help function requires the completion of twenty tasks to unlock!"

"Current: 21 tasks, 17 completed!"

With just three more tasks, Su Ke could unlock the help option. He looked at the tasks on the electronic screen; there were four left:

"Task: Obtain Wei Lan's first kiss; Reward: High school science mastery (intermediate)."

"Task: Invite Liu Qingqing to dinner; Reward: 500 RMB."

"Task: Help Zheng Mo resolve her troubles; Reward: High school computer skills mastery."

"Task: Obtain Zheng Mo's first kiss; Reward: Piano mastery (intermediate)."

"I have to invite Liu Qingqing to dinner tomorrow! That's the easiest task right now," Su Ke muttered to himself. Among these four, helping Zheng Mo with the basketball game didn't have a specific time yet, which would have to wait until he met her. As for the two first-kiss tasks, they were undoubtedly of immense difficulty and were not to be considered for now.

Unknowingly, Su Ke drifted into a hazy sleep. The night passed without incident. Greeting the morning sun, a day full of excitement began. Just like usual, as Su Ke walked into the classroom, Wang Xiaogang suddenly popped out.

"Su Ke, Su Ke, did you check Tieba yesterday?" Wang Xiaogang asked with a lecherous grin, throwing his arm around Su Ke's neck and whispering into his ear.

"I did." Thinking of the replies in that video, Su Ke felt a wave of depression. Someone actually wanted to "shove a chrysanthemum" up his ass; just thinking about it gave him goosebumps, so his reply was listless.

"You're really going to be famous! Let me tell you, I specifically checked yesterday. Both of your video posts have over eight thousand views, and the replies have reached over six hundred floors. I read every single one for you!" Clearly, Wang Xiaogang had also seen the replies about the "chrysanthemum," and his tone was as lewd as could be.

"You're bored enough. Six hundred floors—it must have taken you an hour just to scroll through them," Su Ke shook his head, tilting his head to the side to break free from Wang Xiaogang's embrace.

"What do you mean? You're underestimating me. I read them very carefully. It took me one hour and thirty-five minutes to get through those six hundred floors. Based on my deduction, you're likely to become a celebrity in all of No. 17 High School!" Wang Xiaogang sounded dead serious this time, but Su Ke suddenly had a bad premonition.

Frowning, he tilted his head. "Did you do something again?" Su Ke asked.

"Haha, as expected of my good brother, you know me! As someone who aspires to be a great director, I've been studying the ups and downs of the entertainment industry lately. I've discovered that as long as you hype it up properly, even a sow can become a fairy!" Wang Xiaogang's eyes were deep; aside from the unwashed sleep crust in the corners, he actually looked quite profound.

"And then?" Su Ke stopped.

"And then! Then I launched a poll for the 'Top Ten Campus Hunks' of No. 17 High School, and I listed you as a candidate directly. I've decided, I'm going to make you a star!" Wang Xiaogang raised his eyebrows at Su Ke triumphantly, smiling as if waiting for a reward.

"Damn it! Wang Xiaogang!"

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy?"

"Why don't you just go die!"
