The Cheat Is Back! / This Is Just Awkward

"Pah! Anyway, I'm not that perverted!"

Time flies...

For several days in a row, Ling Mengxue stayed indoors, only occasionally venturing out in her black robe to buy some goods, but she was always hesitant and timid.

People looked at her strangely, but at most they would ask a few questions. It wasn't inconvenient at all. She could just do whatever she wanted, no big deal!

At least it's much better than being stared at. That being said, her voice alone captivated many heroes.

This is just ridiculous~

Zhao Ping and even Yuwen had both sent her messages, asking about things like playing games at internet cafes, hanging out with friends, or leisure activities. Ling Mengxue made excuses to brush them off, and thankfully nothing serious happened.

During this period, apart from Ling Xiaoyu sending her living expenses, there were absolutely no problems.

By the way, during this period, Lin Ruoxi, Bai Chuting, and even Qiu Yun'er all went to look for him again, but unsurprisingly, they were all turned away.

After all, Ling Mengxue couldn't just open the door for them in their current state; she could only leave them feeling utterly disappointed.

They came happy, they left disappointed.

I'm sorry, but that's all I can say. It's the same with WeChat chats; I just have to make up an excuse.

On the contrary, Ling Mengxue herself stayed at home all day, checking her body every day. She called it a way to gradually adapt and avoid being unable to cope with special situations in the future.

After a week's summary, she's a bit anemic...

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Cheat Returns!

The night before school started, Ling Mengxue sat at her desk.

Looking at her stunning reflection in the Spatial Prism, she was finally able to maintain a calm and serene state of mind.

Every moment from the past seems like yesterday; each scene remains vivid in my mind—joy, pain, gains, sorrow, and faith...

"All that has passed is but a prologue..."

Looking into her own captivating eyes, her gaze grew even more resolute. Her clear, bright, icy blue eyes held a mixture of melancholy and determination, making her all the more pitiful.

For a fleeting moment, she even felt a pang of pity for herself!

This is outrageous!

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't completely hide the sadness in her eyes.

Of course, at present, she can only remain calm and composed; she cannot laugh, absolutely cannot laugh! Otherwise, all her efforts will be in vain.

Tonight, the class group chat was quite lively, with everyone seemingly discussing their experiences from the spring break trip.

Ling Mengxue peeked at the class group chat for a while but didn't say anything.

[My dear brothers, the holiday is almost over, have you missed me?!]

[Get lost! No one will think you're mute if you don't speak! We're having a serious discussion about important matters concerning Chongming City with the class monitor, don't interfere.]

[Holy crap, that's incredible! Is that even human? It's practically taking off! Is it some kind of immortal cultivator?]

[What nonsense are you spouting? I've seen Magical Girls cast spells at concerts, so what if they know martial arts? I wouldn't be surprised if there were immortal cultivators!]

[But this is too amazing! It's martial arts! Ordinary people can learn it!]

[Sparrow food? Compared to magic, this real fighting suits me much better!]

Do you think... if I go to Chongming City now, will I still have a chance to join those major sects or top schools to learn performing arts?

[Lan Yuxin: @Xi Xiluo Fengxue, Ling Feng, we'll see each other tomorrow! Happy first day of school!]

[Holy crap, what happened to my goddess?! She's actually become that Ling Feng guy's simp?! How are we supposed to live like this?!]

[Keep your voice down, or Feng Shen might be spying on you!]

[Oh, and also, Ling Feng's WeChat ID is copied from Duskfall's! He's probably in the industry too, right?]

What are you talking about?

[SK, have you heard of Chronicles of Time and Space? It's the one that's been really popular lately!]

Watching the conversations in the chat group, Ling Mengxue felt a pang of longing. "It's a pity you'll never see Ling Feng again."

After making up her mind, she immediately stopped hesitating, opened the group settings, and resolutely chose to leave the class group!

But the moment someone was missing, the group chat exploded!

[Wow, who left the group? That's awesome!]

[No rush, let me check... It's Feng Shen! Feng Shen is gone, damn it!]

[Ling Feng? No way? He was really spying? Could it be that you guys were talking bad about him and he got angry and left the group?!]

[If that's really the case, then you've gone a bit too far.]

[I don't know, we didn't say anything. Wait, Lei is online, he's quite familiar with Feng! We can ask him!]

[Zhao Lei: What happened? Brother Feng is gone? Did someone do something to him? Whoever did it, step forward! Don't make me go looking for him tomorrow!]

[No, Brother Lei, we were just chatting normally when Feng Shen suddenly left the group. ~(*++*)~]

Zhao Lei has been banned from speaking by the administrator for 12 hours.

[Liu Yinxuan: Class, please be quiet. Ling Feng just messaged me; he's transferring schools and left the group chat to avoid causing us any trouble.]

The class was having a heated discussion when Liu Yinxuan up to explain, and things instantly turned upside down again!

[Wow, Feng Shen is transferring schools? That's awesome!]

Why did he suddenly transfer schools in his senior year of high school? Could there be something fishy going on behind the scenes?

During the discussion, Lan Yuxin couldn't sit still any longer; she was probably the "most" upset person in the entire class.

"Why? I already promised not to bother you anymore, why are you still leaving? Am I really that annoying to you?"

Lan Yuxin believed that it was her fault that Ling Feng suddenly decided to transfer schools, so in just a moment, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

She just wanted to see him every day, even though she only had one year left. She wanted to hear Ling Feng's voice every day, so ordinary and simple.

But even such a simple request couldn't be granted by fate; it didn't even give her a chance to make amends?

Lan Yuxin leaned on Tang Ling's shoulder, her lips tightly pursed. Although she tried her best to hold back her tears, they still streamed down her face uncontrollably, like a burst dam.

"Waaaaah~"

For the first time, Lan Yuxin felt so helpless, so desperate and powerless. Even just being able to see Ling Feng every day would be enough for her.

Why is fate so cruel?!

Seeing this, Liu Yinxuan felt very sorry for them, because in her heart, the three of them were like sisters.

Tang Ling and the other man patted her on the back at the same time, offering comfort and concern... but it seemed to have no effect. However, even if it only had some effect, it would be worthwhile.

Tang Ling remained silent because she was stunned when she heard the news! She no longer had a deskmate?! She had lost a close friend! She had lost a job she could have taken for granted!

Good heavens, what is all this about?!

"No, I don't believe it! I... I'm going to call him and get to the bottom of this!"

Lan Yuxin wiped away her tears and, unwilling to believe it, turned on her phone, but no matter how many times she dialed, she couldn't get through. The other party had even turned off their phone, or even put it on Do Not Disturb mode, rejecting all calls!

Liu Yinxuan did not stop them at all, because she had tried calling to inquire about the situation earlier, but it had no effect whatsoever.

What kind of determination did Ling Feng have? Was it really just because of transferring schools? Surely that wouldn't warrant such a sudden disappearance? Not even answering the phone? Or did he encounter some insurmountable problem?

Nobody knows this!

Perhaps, tonight will be a sleepless night for many!

"Should we just cancel the phone number?"

Ling Mengxue had also considered this point, but when she thought of Ling Xiaoyu and Luo Xiyan, she immediately dismissed the idea.

[The Destiny Sign 3.0 update is complete, unlocking more features and applications. Owners can check them out!]

Hearing Xi He's cold, arrogant loli voice echoing in her mind, Ling Mengxue felt a chill run down her spine.

After waiting so long, has my cheat finally returned?

[All-Attribute Query enabled, unlimited points usage, Point Exchange Shop updated with new items, Thought Query now.]

Ling Mengxue: "??"

Chapter Thirty-Eight: This is just speechless.

"Unlimited points?"

Upon hearing this detail, Ling Mengxue was completely dumbfounded.

She knew exactly what amazing items were available in the Destiny Sign Mall; there were practically countless of them.

She originally planned to earn points by checking in and reading every day, and then slowly redeem them for the things she wanted.

And now you're telling me I have unlimited points? I'm just baffled.

Doesn't this just delete my goals? I've lost my direction in life?

Damn it, what's the point of having this cheat code-like life? I get no sense of accomplishment at all!

Before going to bed, Ling Mengxue changed into a pure white spaghetti strap nightgown, then lay down on the bed listlessly, feeling somewhat depressed.

Even as she was about to embark on a new chapter in her life, she couldn't muster the slightest interest.

"I don't want to cheat; what's the point of a life where I can just win without effort?"

Burying her head in the pillow, Ling Mengxue turned her head away unhappily and pinched her little white rabbit in revenge... Ah, so satisfying, ptooey ptooey!

To be able to feel something just by touching yourself, that's fucking outrageous! It should be between B and C, right? No... don't get horny!

As she pondered, Ling Mengxue's thoughts became increasingly chaotic. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she turned over and lay on her back on the bed, immediately opening the Destiny Sign points exchange shop.

She needs to indulge in some serious spending now, otherwise she truly can't quell her resentment. This one night, she's lost her dreams and her goals! How tragic is that?

Seeing a few useful items, she embarked on a shopping spree, completely ignoring the icon in the upper left corner that read "Rational Consumption."

Since I have unlimited points anyway, I can spend them however I want without worrying about wasting them! I'll store them all in my Destiny Space storage backpack!

[Thousand-Answer Pen (Causality Item) × MAX!]

[Ding! Healing potion × MAX!]

[Ding! Sword Origin Blade x MAX!]

[Ding! Astral Engraving Blade x MAX!]

[Ding! Magic Spring × MAX!]

[Ding! Star Source Potion × MAX!]

[Ding! Seven Space × MAX!]

[Ding! Clothing store items all packed up! Max out all clothing!!]

[******×MAX!!]

Shopping! Shopping! Shopping spree!

"Awesome! No wonder girls love shopping so much! It's so addictive!"

Although it was all about conscious control, Ling Mengxue herself started to feel overwhelmed after buying so many items.

"Xi He, I want to buy the Fate Mall!"

[Master, the Destiny Sign Mall will be updated with new items in the future, and some items are hard to come by!]

"It's okay, buy as much as you have now, and we can buy new ones later!"

Ling Mengxue waved her small hand and said in an unquestionable tone.

[Ding! Congratulations, Master! You have obtained 1 Destiny Sign Mall! You can now directly retrieve and use any items you need!]
