Heaven-Defying Stats

The girl, dressed in a complete black coat and pale-faced, leaned against Shen Qingling's chest. Her hands clung trustingly and dependently around his neck.

A breeze brushed past his hair. It seemed even the wind favored him especially. The solemnity in the young man's deep, handsome features only made him seem colder and more abstinent.

His outrageously long legs were particularly eye-catching. The hand holding the girl had distinct knuckles, like slender bamboo.

A camera could infinitely magnify a person's flaws, yet this young man was exquisitely perfect in every way. The reporters kept pressing their shutters; anyone unaware of the situation might have thought this was some red-carpet event.

The police rushed over at once, but Song Zhining refused to get down from Shen Qingling.

She looked at Shen Qingling and said softly, "I want him to stay with me. I'm scared."

The officers exchanged looks before asking, "Was he the one who saved you?"

Song Zhining nodded and hugged Shen Qingling even tighter.

Although Song Zhining was once again being watched by a crowd this time, her clothes were intact and there were no visible injuries on her body, avoiding the tragic ending from the novel.

The students watching could not help discussing the scene, but the topic was not Song Zhining—it was Shen Qingling's face.

"Shen Qingling is too handsome. Men lose their minds when they see him, women stop having periods when they see him. He's the cure for depression, an alarm clock for vegetative patients, and the savior of delicate women!"

"Shen Qingling has totally let me down. He talks about caring for small animals, yet he's ignoring me, his little lapdog."

"Holy shit, Shen Qingling is so handsome. How is he any different from a novel's male lead? If I were that girl, I'd never forget him for the rest of my life."

"Too handsome. I used to think Shen Qingling was handsome too, but he felt like a flower without a scent—I just couldn't get what made him charming. But today, I fell for him at first sight."

"Shen Qingling isn't just handsome and good at school, he's also so kind. I wonder how he found that girl and saved her."

"I guarantee these photos will trend the moment they're posted online."

"Shen Qingling is going to become famous."

Outside the police station.

Why didn't I finish that book back then? I don't even know how it ended now. What rotten luck.

Shen Qingling finished giving his statement and came out early. Sitting on a bench outside, he considered what to do next.

What Shen Qingling regretted most now was not finishing that book.

The plot had simply been too absurd, and he had not liked the male lead's personality either, so he stopped halfway through. Who would have thought he would be bound to this damned system and transmigrate into the book?

The male lead of this novel, Gu Yijin, had the personality of a standard villain—selfish and self-serving, willing to do anything for power. God knew how many people he had killed. Shen Qingling was merely one of countless unlucky victims.

Although he had changed the Original Host's fate of disgrace and ruin, Gu Yijin definitely would not let him off easily. When he returned to the Gu Family, more traps were likely waiting for him.

The plot might also change because of his arrival and not necessarily follow the novel's original storyline. To him, everything was unknown.

Other than this handsome face, he could practically be said to have nothing.

"Don't worry, Host. You've successfully taken the first step and changed the Original Host's fate. You are rewarded with 3,000 points."

"Now that you mention it, I haven't had the chance to ask. What kind of system are you exactly? What can points do?"

"I am Goddess System 077. Host may call me Qiqi. As long as Host obtains Heart-Throb Scores from members of the opposite sex, the system will provide corresponding points. These points can be used to exchange for all sorts of cheat abilities in the store, helping Host complete missions more effectively."

077 had specifically chosen Shen Qingling.

Shen Qingling possessed top-tier looks and a meticulous mind. He could play cold and aloof, pretend to be innocent and pure, and combine the strengths of countless others. He was practically the ultimate playboy.

In his previous life, Shen Qingling had also been an actor. He was handsome and talented, and he had dated enough goddesses to fill a room. The women who had admired him were even more countless.

—He was simply the perfect Host, born for the Goddess System.

So it was no surprise that 077 had chosen him.

A panel appeared before Shen Qingling's eyes.

Name: Shen Qingling

Age: 18

Height: 188 cm

Looks: 94

xx: 25

Health: 60

Combat Power: 65

Reputation: 20

Heart-Throb Score: 50

Points: 3805

Cheat Abilities: None

Goddesses Conquered: 0

Reversal Progress: 10%

Side Quests: Not unlocked

Shen Qingling's gaze was immediately drawn to that 25.

"Qiqi, that 25... it isn't what I think it is, is it?"

"Yes, Host. It is exactly what you think it is."

"That's a little too..."

"Not only that, Host also possesses the ability to go eighteen times in one night."

"So this book is probably aimed at women, right? Anyone capable of writing eighteen times in one night must have hired an expert."

"With Qiqi, Host can even surpass the number eighteen~"

"Stop. Let's talk about something serious. Just explain the rest to me."

"Certainly. Host's main quest is to reverse the Original Host's fate and achieve a life turnaround for him. Side quests will be activated at random, and completing each one will grant corresponding rewards."

"Conquering goddesses means Host must obtain Heart-Throb Scores from members of the opposite sex. The scores provided by ordinary members of the opposite sex can be ignored, as they will basically be converted directly into points. However, goddesses designated by the system must be conquered, and their Heart-Throb Scores for you must reach the maximum."

"If I don't conquer them?"

"The system will be unable to obtain energy and will perish. You will also die."

"That serious?"

"Because these goddesses are all closely connected to the novel's plot. By conquering them, Host will also be changing their endings."

After hearing the system's explanation, Shen Qingling roughly understood. These goddesses probably had tragic endings too, most likely related to the male lead Gu Yijin. By conquering them, he could change their fates.

"I haven't conquered anyone yet, so where did these 50 Heart-Throb Scores come from? And the extra few hundred points?"

"The points were provided by the Heart-Throb Scores of those girls in the crowd. They are ordinary members of the opposite sex, classified as C-Class. They do not need to be conquered, and their Heart-Throb Scores will turn into points, which is beneficial to Host."

"As for the 50 Heart-Throb Score, it was provided by Song Zhining. Although she is not a goddess designated by the system, she is a B-Class character. The more closely a character is related to the plot, the higher their rank and the more Heart-Throb Score they provide. Host may choose whether or not to conquer B-Class characters."

"Following that logic, there are A-Class, S-Class, SS-Class, and SSS-Class above them. All goddesses above A-Class must be conquered."

Shen Qingling finally understood how the system worked and knew what he needed to do next.

Winning the affection of the opposite sex was something Shen Qingling excelled at. After all, that had been his profession in his previous life.

Besides, the Original Host possessed such heaven-defying looks. Shen Qingling had experienced firsthand just how popular superior looks were with women.

"This face is even better-looking than mine was in my previous life. That really is like adding wings to a tiger."

"With such heaven-defying stats, Host, no woman can refuse your body!"

"Why do I feel like you aren't a proper system?"

"I'm merely stating facts. Besides, even without all that, your looks score of 93 would still make women utterly obsessed with you."

"Speaking of which, the Original Host has such high looks but only scored 93. I'm curious how heaven-defying it would be if it reached 100."

"Host can work hard to earn points. One Attribute Point can be exchanged for 100,000 points. Host can add these Attribute Points to various attributes—looks, combat power, and so on can all be increased."

At this point, 077 added, "Also, length can be increased too~"

"Then I need to work hard and earn points. For max-level looks, go, Shen Xiaokui!"

Shen Qingling automatically ignored the system's last remark. This system felt oddly sleazy—definitely not a proper system.

Just then, someone patted Shen Qingling on the shoulder. He looked up to see the girl standing there, smiling brightly at him. "Thank you, Shen Qingling."

Babies, please add this book to your shelves, okay? Updates will be irregular—give it a little pat~
