My Online Friend Can't Be This Cute

What if it didn't work out and they held a grudge against you? Wouldn't that be awful?

You've been out working for so long, and you still don't know how to protect yourself?

You're an adult already. Can you stop being so childish?

Mo Xiangwen closed his eyes and thought for a long time. In the end, he slowly let out a breath.

Fuck it. Childish it was. A man stayed a boy until the day he died.

He viciously kicked Liao Feiyang in the ass, sending him stumbling before he face-planted into the grass.

"You dared to climb a wall that high, but shouting one sentence is too hard? What a coward."

"Fuck, who says I'm scared?" Liao Feiyang climbed to his feet, spat out the grass in his mouth, and ran toward the office.

Liao Feiyang's powerful shout came from inside the office. Even from dozens of meters away, it was crystal clear.

"Teacher! I want to get into an undergraduate program!"

PS: I went to the hospital for treatment and medicine today, so I couldn't write during the day. I was pressed for time tonight, so I didn't split it up—this is a combined chapter. Tomorrow, I can finally write about my favorite beautiful girl group friends again.

Showing Off Pulls Is Wrong

Don't Play Holy Slash: To celebrate our group's Xiao Yi achieving excellent results in this Third Mock Exam.

Don't Play Holy Slash: Everyone, stand up and applaud.

Baibai: Clap clap clap.

Don't Play Holy Slash: Clap clap clap.

A Seductress: Clap clap clap.

Flaked Out: Clap clap clap.

On Sunday, when he routinely reported his study progress and Third Mock Exam results to the group, he received unanimous praise from his group friends.

Don't Play Holy Slash: Your improvement has been insane, Xiao Yi. I never expected that after just over ten days, you'd go from being safely Third-Tier Undergraduate level to safely Second-Tier Undergraduate level.

Human-Dragon Unity: I wouldn't say I'm safely at Second-Tier Undergraduate level. There are still lots of questions I don't understand.

A Seductress: That's reasonable. Second-Tier Undergraduate level means you understand the general idea. If you really understood everything, why would you still be aiming for a Second-Tier Undergraduate program?

A Seductress: The group would probably have to start calling you [Young Master Hua] or [Master Jing].

Don't Play Holy Slash: How bold!

Flaked Out: Wuwuwu, I'm tearing up. Xiao Yi is the best student I've ever taught.

Human-Dragon Unity: I never thought Pigeon was a teacher. Exactly how many classes of students have you taught?

Flaked Out: Hehe, just you. Touched?

Flaked Out: Also, Xiao Yi and I are in the same graduating class, so I'm not a teacher.

Don't Play Holy Slash: ???

Baibai: ???

A Seductress: ???

Human-Dragon Unity: ???

Don't Play Holy Slash: I never thought this group would have a second senior-year student.

A Seductress: So can we put Pigeon and Xiao Yi in the Black Room together later?

Human-Dragon Unity: No wonder Pigeon was able to make such a detailed study plan so quickly.

Flaked Out: Mm-hm, you guessed right. The plan I gave you was adapted from the one I use myself.

Flaked Out: Even my deskmate doesn't get this kind of treatment. Aren't you touched?

Human-Dragon Unity: Honestly, I am. Thank you, Pigeon.

Flaked Out: Hehe.

Flaked Out: Since you're being so honest, I'll make you a new one later. I didn't expect you to improve so quickly. Looks like you need an updated study plan better suited to your situation.

Human-Dragon Unity: I don't think I need to trouble you. I can try revising it myself.

Flaked Out: It's fine, it's fine. It won't take long anyway. We're all so familiar with each other—why are you being so polite with me?

Human-Dragon Unity: Ha, alright. Then if there's ever anything I can help with, just ask.

Flaked Out: Mm-hm, there definitely will be. I'll disappear for a while first.

Human-Dragon Unity: Okay, thanks for the trouble. Oh, @Don't Play Holy Slash, President, I received the books.

Human-Dragon Unity: The books didn't suffer any violent courier treatment. They were still perfectly neat when they arrived.

Human-Dragon Unity: The notes inside were all very thorough too. Thanks.

Human-Dragon Unity: But does your sister really not mind? I can tell she treasures these books quite a bit.

Don't Play Holy Slash: It's fine, it's fine. My relationship with her is great. It's enough that they can help you.

Human-Dragon Unity: Honestly, they've helped me a lot. Without the President's books and Pigeon's study plan, there's no way I could've improved this quickly.

Don't Play Holy Slash: Hahahaha, really? But you really have improved fast.

Don't Play Holy Slash: I thought even in the best-case scenario, you wouldn't reach your current level until right before the National College Entrance Examination.

Don't Play Holy Slash: More likely, I thought you'd just give up halfway through.

Don't Play Holy Slash: I was even a little worried that sending those books to you might've been a waste.

Human-Dragon Unity: Sigh, whenever I want to give up, I look at these books and feel like I'd be letting the President and Pigeon down.

Human-Dragon Unity: So giving up is impossible.

Don't Play Holy Slash: Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease.

Human-Dragon Unity: You can rest assured. I'll also take good care of the books and mail them back to you in exactly the same condition.

Baibai: Isn't Xiao Yi working too hard? Isn't the pressure too much?

Human-Dragon Unity: Hm? Thanks for caring, Baibai. There is quite a bit of pressure, but I think I'm doing okay.

Human-Dragon Unity: After all, it's senior year. Who doesn't have some pressure?

Don't Play Holy Slash: True. Xiao Yi, pay attention to your mental health.

Human-Dragon Unity: OK. I don't think there's anything wrong with me right now.

Baibai: Pigeon doesn't seem to have any pressure at all. She chats in the group all day.

Human-Dragon Unity: Uh... I haven't been online much lately, so I don't know what she's been up to.

Baibai: She was talking to me about Itchy Mouse yesterday, even sending screenshots of Leopard Jump stomping all over her face.

Baibai: She keeps trying to trick me into pulling with stuff like "I got one in a single talisman" and "the drop rate is really high today."

Baibai: She's a senior-year student just like Xiao Yi, yet she's still playing mobile games. Is that good? No, it isn't.

A Seductress: I don't think it's good either. We should put her in the Black Room.

A Seductress: So she stops showing off her pulls every day.

It seemed that in this life, everyone was still suffering from Pigeon showing off her pulls.

Baibai and Xiaohuo played mobile games, and they could be said to maintain a balance between luck and misfortune.

But the President was different. She often had to invoke the power of money and spend her way through a banner before getting what she wanted.

Pigeon couldn't exactly be called a free-to-play player, but whenever she spent money, it was usually because she wanted to fully max out a character.

For example, there was the ancient 2D ancestor, Diffusion Million Arthur.

And the one that was still alive now, Kairi-Sei Million Arthur.

Because he had to prepare for exams, he had only formed a regular party with his group friends in Kairi-Sei Million Arthur for a short time at the beginning. Later, since it required both grinding and spending, he simply couldn't afford it as a student and stopped playing.

Itchy Mouse was a game he hadn't played yet in this life.

But as a mobile game that could be called a milestone among domestic 2D games, he had naturally played it in his previous life.

Since it was made by a certain major company, the grinding and spending were naturally unavoidable.

Still, its art was undeniably excellent, which attracted plenty of players.

Even many people outside the 2D crowd played it. Or rather, those people were the main player base, since there weren't actually that many 2D idiots.

So whether this thing even counted as a 2D mobile game was something nobody could really say.

Don't Play Holy Slash: Hiss, what you're saying actually makes sense.

Don't Play Holy Slash: Xiao Yi is a senior-year student, so he has to be put in the Black Room.

Don't Play Holy Slash: Then Pigeon is a senior-year student too. There's no reason she should get away scot-free, right?

Human-Dragon Unity: Pigeon can make such a good study plan for me, and she said it was adapted from one she uses herself. I don't think we need to worry about her studies.

Human-Dragon Unity: Fundamentally, I'm being put in there because my grades are too poor.

Human-Dragon Unity: At Pigeon's level, I think she knows perfectly well whether she should be playing or not.

Flaked Out: Sigh, Xiao Yi really gets me. I didn't trust you for nothing.

Flaked Out: Uploaded a file.

Flaked Out: Alright, take a look and see if there are any problems. If there are, adjust it yourself.

Don't Play Holy Slash: Are you done talking?

Flaked Out: Huh? Me?

Don't Play Holy Slash: Yes. Once you're done, it's time for you to enter the Black Room with Xiao Yi.

Flaked Out: I don't think I need to enter the Black Room. Not to brag, but my grades are very good.

Don't Play Holy Slash: Oh, come on, the group is just concerned about you. There are less than twenty days left anyway. Bear with it and it'll be over soon.

Flaked Out: ? I don't think that works.

Baibai: I think it does. Xiao Yi would be pretty lonely in the Black Room by himself.

A Seductress: I think so too. Aren't you and Xiao Yi the most in sync? You're even in the same graduating class.

A Seductress: How can you not go in and keep him company?

Flaked Out: One thing is one thing. From now on, I'm not in sync with him anymore.

Don't Play Holy Slash: Then let's do this by procedure.

Don't Play Holy Slash: We will now vote on whether Pigeon, as a senior-year student, should be put in the Black Room.

Don't Play Holy Slash: First, I vote in favor.

Human-Dragon Unity: I vote against it.

Flaked Out: Xiao Yi! I knew I hadn't misjudged you.

Human-Dragon Unity: Ahahaha.

Sigh, kid, haven't you figured it out yet?

Was this really about making sure you studied? Couldn't they tell that you were doing well academically?

Once they decided to go through the procedure, the result had already been decided. What difference did his vote make?

He was just taking the chance to raise her favorability a little.

Baibai: I vote in favor.

A Seductress: I vote in favor too.

Flaked Out: I vote against it!!!

Don't Play Holy Slash: Sigh, three to two. Get in there.

Flaked Out: No—!
