At the entrance of Eleventh High School.

A little girl in a red Martial Dao uniform walked side by side with another adorable little girl who had her head lowered. The two were Xia Weiwei and Mai Mengmeng.

Xia Weiwei puffed out her cheeks. Thinking about how Mai Mengmeng had kept her up all night after she brought her home yesterday made her stomach burn with anger.

It also proved that Wang Hao really was a shameless lecher. Otherwise, why would the drug have been so potent?

Pah!

What was she thinking!?

Xia Weiwei shook her head, throwing those wicked thoughts out of her mind.

"Weiwei, did I really kiss Brother Wang Hao yesterday!?" Mai Mengmeng kneaded her little hands anxiously, her heart in turmoil.

"Brother Wang Hao? Do you really have to get eaten by that pervert before you see his true colors!?" The moment Xia Weiwei heard Wang Hao's name, her anger flared. She snorted. "I told you long ago, any high school student who can concoct that kind of potion is either a lecher or a psycho."

Mai Mengmeng timidly explained, "Weiwei, you misunderstood Brother Wang Hao. Yesterday really was an accident during an experiment. It had nothing to do with him. Besides, he only made that potion to earn money for researching other potions. You know, that kind of potion has low production costs and sells really well. It's very profitable."

The more Mai Mengmeng spoke, the redder her face became, and her voice grew softer and softer until it was practically inaudible.

"I don't know any of that!" Xia Weiwei shrieked and viciously pinched Mai Mengmeng's waist.

This girl was actually smearing her so badly just to defend that big pervert Wang Hao. She was a pure high school student—how could she possibly know about that potion's production costs and sales volume!?

"Ah!" Mai Mengmeng curled up slightly in pain.

"Hmph!"

Xia Weiwei snorted angrily, took a meat bun from the plastic bag in her hand, and bit down hard as though she had some deep-seated grudge against it.

It was all Wang Hao's fault. Mai Mengmeng had kept her up all night because of him.

Then she had rushed to school for the assembly this morning without even having time for breakfast, leaving her to gnaw on meat buns here.

Suddenly, Xia Weiwei felt a chill run down her back. Someone was watching her, and the gaze was extremely wicked.

She turned around and saw Wang Hao staring at her, drool even hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Wang Hao paid no attention to Xia Weiwei's disgusted glare. He was so hungry that his chest practically clung to his back, and stars danced before his eyes.

He had been busy cultivating after returning home last night and had not eaten dinner. Even if he had wanted to eat, he could not bring himself to touch those expired crackers.

He had also left home late this morning, and there was nowhere selling breakfast left along the way.

Of course, the main reason was that every one of his features screamed the word "poor." He simply could not afford to buy any.

Now that he saw the meat bun in Xia Weiwei's hand, it was like seeing his own mother. He had no restraint whatsoever.

"Shameless pervert, what are you looking at?" Xia Weiwei watched Wang Hao vigilantly. Could this pervert be planning to take revenge on her for ruining his good thing, or perhaps make a move on her!?

"Brother Wang Hao, you're here." Mai Mengmeng lowered her little head shyly and greeted Wang Hao in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Whenever she saw Wang Hao now, her mind grew dizzy, and she remembered what Xia Weiwei had said about her kissing him.

At the same time, Mai Mengmeng was terribly conflicted. Would Wang Hao have a bad impression of her because of this!?

Wang Hao narrowed his eyes as he studied Mai Mengmeng. The little girl was only sixteen or seventeen. Not only was she shy, she was also incredibly endearing.

She was also a School Beauty-level goddess with countless admirers at Eleventh High School. According to his memories especially, Mai Mengmeng seemed to have feelings for him.

But that made sense. Although the original Unlucky Egg did not talk much, his achievements in potion-making far surpassed those of his peers. He was not bad-looking either. On Earth in the past, he would have been the sort of person considered a school heartthrob.

For a little girl who loved potions and was just beginning to understand romance, that was indeed fatal.

"What is there to say to a pervert like him!?" Xia Weiwei held the meat bun between her teeth, rolled up her sleeves, stepped forward, and pulled Mai Mengmeng behind her protectively.

Wang Hao's face darkened. Those had clearly all been accidents, so why was the label of pervert being forced onto him!?

"Hmph. For the sake of maintaining world peace, Xia Weiwei needs to learn that falsely accusing someone comes at a price..." A holy light flickered in Wang Hao's eyes. The corners of his lips lifted into a mysterious smile that was both sleazy and strangely righteous.

At once, Mai Mengmeng and Xia Weiwei shuddered as if struck by electricity. Their minds went blank, with only that smile—evil beyond all evil—circling through their thoughts.

Seeing the two little girls standing there in a daze, Wang Hao unceremoniously snatched the meat buns from their hands and swaggered toward Eleventh High School.

"Ding-dong. Congratulations, Host. You have robbed someone else's property and received 200 Villain Points."

Wang Hao instantly felt like he had become a towering figure. Not only had he taught Xia Weiwei a lesson, but he had also earned Villain Points and filled his stomach. If they had an annual list of the ten most inspiring young people here, he would definitely make it.

But his principle in life was to smile faintly and hide his merit and fame, becoming an unparalleled Big Bad Egg misunderstood by the world.

"Shameless lecher, stop right there, Miss demands it!" Xia Weiwei snapped back to her senses, shouted furiously, and sprinted toward Wang Hao.

Shameless lecher!?

The surrounding students turned at the shout. Xia Weiwei was chasing after him with a face green from rage, while Wang Hao ran ahead looking thoroughly pleased with himself.

With that scene, combined with the words "shameless lecher," these students in the prime of adolescence could not help letting their imaginations run wild.

Could Wang Hao have made a move on Xia Weiwei!?

And even used force!?

Otherwise, why would Xia Weiwei be this furious!?

If that was the case, were High School Students these days not far too wild!?

"He actually dared take advantage of Miss Weiwei! Brothers, grab your weapons and kill this guy!"

"Damn it, Weiwei is my goddess. I don't even dare fantasize about her, yet this pretty boy actually dared lay a hand on her? He's courting death!"

"Nothing more to say! Brothers, get him!"

"He dared provoke Goddess Weiwei? We'll chop this brat up and feed him to dogs, whether he flees to heaven or burrows into the earth!"

"I'll let him know that a goddess may be admired from afar, but never defiled!"

"Kill him!"

"..."

Wang Hao was startled by the dozen or so male students rushing toward him. Where had these brothers come from!?

Then Wang Hao suddenly remembered that Xia Weiwei was the School Beauty of Eleventh High School and had the Flower Protector Squad.

"Ding-dong. Congratulations, Host. You have defiled the goddess in someone else's heart, igniting their anger, and received 300 Villain Points." "Ding-dong. Congratulations..." "Ding-dong. Congratulations..." "..."

Listening to the repeated notifications, Wang Hao froze. Did giving a goddess a Y-Insect Smile count as defiling her!? Wouldn't earning Villain Points be way too easy then!?
