"Hmph! Damn it! It's all that bastard Xiao's fault! Of all things, he had to drag Huo Yuhao into the Laboratory, saying he wanted to teach him about Soul Tools in advance so he could get started quickly!"
"If Xiao hadn't interfered, I would've already taken Huo Yuhao around Mingdu properly. Then wouldn't getting him to write my name ten times in his Diary have been easy? Damn it!"
After returning to her room, the irritated Meng Hongchen unleashed a flurry of soft punches on her pillow, venting her frustration.
Meng Hongchen had spent ages making herself look gorgeous, certain that Huo Yuhao would be unable to resist her like that. Yet the moment she found him, she saw her brother dragging him toward the Laboratory while animatedly describing the power of Soul Tools. Before Meng Hongchen could invite Huo Yuhao to tour Mingdu with her, Xiao Hongchen had shut her outside the Laboratory.
He had even said not to disturb him and Huo Yuhao today. Once they began making Soul Tools, they might spend the entire day in the Laboratory. He would personally take Huo Yuhao to New Student Class One tomorrow, ensuring that Huo Yuhao's enrollment would not be delayed.
What she found most unacceptable was that Xiao Hongchen had dragged Huo Yuhao off to make Soul Tools so early because her excited howl after receiving her reward had interrupted his sweet dream, making him wake up so early!
"One's a shut-in tech geek, and the other's a workaholic who only wants to focus on his career. Damn it! Aren't I prettier than Soul Tools? Why won't he look at me?"
Meng Hongchen looked at herself in the mirror. Though she was still underage, her figure had already begun to take shape. Her white hair fell over her shoulders, and her looks were beyond reproach.
Yet that guy Huo Yuhao only wanted to learn more about Soul Tools. He had not even glanced at her, much less mentioned her name in his Diary!
Ever since Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen had entered the Laboratory, he had been writing all sorts of strange things in his Diary.
Soul Tool Grenades, Soul Tool Tanks, Soul Tool Rifles, Battle Armor, and ideas such as using an Assembly Line to mass-produce Soul Tools.
From what Huo Yuhao had written in the Diary, these items undoubtedly possessed tremendous destructive power. Any Soul Engineer who saw them would certainly be drawn in.
But compared to that, Meng Hongchen clearly wanted to see her own name appear in the Diary more!
Had she known, she would not have spent so much time dressing up. She should have gone to find Huo Yuhao before her brother did!
"Calm down, calm down. I refuse to believe that I, this young lady, can't win over Huo Yuhao! Just wait! One day, I'll make your Diary full of my name!"
"Tomorrow, tomorrow is the official start of school. I have to take Yuhao to enroll before Xiao does! I absolutely can't miss it!"
Meng Hongchen raised her clenched little fist at the mirror, cheering herself on. After all, she held the home-field advantage. Missing one day's rewards was no big deal.
The truth proved that women could never be trusted when it came to the amount of time needed for makeup and dressing up. Even young girls were no exception.
In order not to miss Huo Yuhao's enrollment, Meng Hongchen began washing up and dressing herself far in advance. She staked out the entrance to the Laboratory early and successfully snatched the task of taking him to enroll from Xiao Hongchen.
After chasing her brother away, Meng Hongchen smiled at Huo Yuhao and asked, "So, Yuhao? Was making Soul Tools boring?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head excitedly. "Not at all. I quite liked it."
Huo Yuhao had many ideas regarding Soul Tools, all waiting to be brought to life once his skills improved. That was why, even after staying up all night, he did not feel tired in the slightest.
Meng Hongchen felt a little discouraged, but she quickly rallied and invited Huo Yuhao to breakfast. Naturally, Huo Yuhao did not refuse. Looking at the table full of delicious food, he began eating while also making an entry in his Diary.
A wonderful day began with Miss Meng treating me to a meal. Image Image Image.
Seeing her name mentioned, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on Meng Hongchen's face.
Very good, just like this! This young lady wants all of today's rewards too!
The strong start put Meng Hongchen in an exceptionally good mood. She even skipped as she walked, and together with her silky white hair, she looked utterly adorable.
Huo Yuhao subconsciously praised her in his Diary, using it to pad out his daily thousand-word entry. Meanwhile, he was considering whether those useful things from his previous life could be made with Soul Tools.
Only after they arrived at New Student Class One did Meng Hongchen smile and bid Huo Yuhao farewell.
"Yuhao, don't forget to have lunch with me! Also, don't hole up in the Laboratory with Xiao today. I'll take you around Mingdu."
After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuhao agreed. He was also curious about what Mingdu was really like. It would not be too late to continue learning about Soul Tools after he had looked around the city.
Seeing Huo Yuhao agree, Meng Hongchen immediately felt that today's rewards were in the bag. She would definitely claim those three rewards again, and she had even begun imagining just how generous tomorrow's rewards would be.
The moment Huo Yuhao stepped through the door of New Student Class One, he froze. The several girls seated in the front row were all breathtaking beauties.
As Huo Yuhao observed the girls, they also turned their gazes toward him as he entered through the door. Their eyes flickered continuously, and no one knew what they were thinking.
Damn! Are the beauties of the Sun Moon Empire really this high-quality? Each one is prettier than the last, and every one of them is no less attractive than Meng Hongchen. There's even one white-haired girl who's the prettiest of all—she's way prettier than Meng Hongchen! I love it! Huh? Isn't something wrong here? Has Meng Hongchen become the unit of beauty?
No! Calm down, calm down! Damn it, there are always people disturbing my Dao Heart! Let me say it again: I absolutely cannot be assimilated by a love-struck brain! I have to focus on my career first! As for everything else, it can wait until later!
After rapidly writing those lines in his Diary with his thoughts, Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious. He headed directly toward the window seat in the back row that had caught his eye at once.
Upon seeing the contents that had just appeared in the Diary, the expressions of the girls in the front row instantly became rather subtle.
He says he wants to focus on his career and absolutely can't be assimilated by a love-struck brain, but when he sees a beauty like me, his heart still can't help but stir, can it? Hehe, I'd like to see just how long you can hold out!
Still, just as Huo Yuhao said, aren't the girls in New Student Class One a little too high-quality? Is this really normal?
Nearly identical thoughts arose in the hearts of the girls seated in the front row.
