LIGHTNOVELWORLD 96. New Mission
After hanging up Wang Zijin’s call and agreeing to engage in some play next Saturday, Su Qi felt she was no longer sleepy.
Although mentally awake, the soreness in her body continued. Helpless, she could only hide under the quilt and lie still. She decided to lie down for another two hours before enjoying the takeout.
Opening her phone a bit fearfully, seeing there were no calls, multimedia messages or texts from An Ning made Su Qi breathe a sigh of relief.
But Su Qi didn’t know, An Ning had already said a lot to her on WeChat. It’s just that her phone had no notifications.
An Ning thought Su Qi was deliberately ignoring her. So, Su Qi inadvertently had her wrongdoings recorded in An Ning’s little notebook.
With free time, Su Qi opened QQ. Every group chat had the familiar 999+ which Su Qi was used to. After all, it was normal for a 500-person group to have people saying a few words.
Randomly opening a group chat and scrolling up the chat history, she saw that group photo of herself, Wang Zijin and An Ning yesterday.
The photo in the group was a screenshot taken from the Moments of the two!
Looking at their Moments captions and the envious comments in the group, Su Qi felt shocked and also sensed danger.
Why did she feel danger? It goes back to the past:
When she was in high school, on a leisurely way home one time, a scene occurred that Su Qi still remembered vividly.
Four high school boys were originally walking and laughing on the road. Boys’ voices were loud so Su Qi heard very clearly. They were roughly chatting about secretly liking pretty girls at school.
This was normal. High school life was boring and tedious. Plus, Su Qi was at odds with her dad at the time and chose a chaotic boarding high school. The studying atmosphere wasn’t strong and the school restricted internet. So many people put their minds on romantic relationships!
At this time coincidentally, a social butterfly came from the opposite direction, holding hands with two girls and walked into the stationery store. The key was the two girls were quite pretty.
This instantly stirred up the surging youthful hormones of the four boys.
Su Qi didn’t know which brave soul said “Why don’t we beat him up”. Perhaps this scene made the four too upset, everyone echoed agreement.
After that guy led the two beauties out, the four surrounded him.
After Su Qi quietly called the police officer, she took an onlooker attitude from far away.
If you asked why she didn’t directly go persuade them, Su Qi expressed she couldn’t stop them. Plus if she went, she would likely also be dragged into the beaten party.
After the police officer arrived and stopped this, taking everyone to the police station, Su Qi didn’t forget the beaten boy’s confused eyes.
Maybe before going to the police station, he didn’t even know why he was beaten.
But as a bystander, Su Qi could be said to have seen through the essence of the matter.
Wasn’t this the angry look of the FFF group?
TN: In Chinese internet culture, “FFF团” refers to a humorous concept originating from an anime. It stands for a group of people, typically single, who express jealousy towards couples or those showing affection publicly. They jokingly claim they want to “burn” such individuals out of envy.
Now, looking at those two Moments screenshots in the group, she just felt her current self perfectly matched the image of the beaten man.
It seemed her sins were even greater, because her female companions were much prettier than those two girls—they were the publicly recognized university flowers!
Would she also be seen as flaunting by others and beaten up!
Su Qi hurriedly went to browse the school forum. She was going to look at what the comments section said first.
Without looking you wouldn’t know, but after looking it was truly shocking.
Last night, after someone unknown posted these two screenshots online, a guy called “Cousin 534” commented: So envious, really want to beat him up.
Normal bullet comments piling up to 10 layers was already very high.
But there were actually over 300 replies under this message.
Su Qi clicked to take a look. Based on this momentum, had over 300 people already joined a group chat? It seemed they had already discussed that as soon as she appeared, they would immediately report in the group.
Then drag her to the men’s restroom and give her a fierce beating. There were even people expressing “A real man should do a man!” Reading it gave Su Qi chills all over.
Taking a screenshot of this group number, Su Qi planned to tell Wang Zijin later and let her thoroughly deal with these people plotting against her.
At this time, Su Qi also saw messages from Wu Wei and Wang Dongxu, reminding her not to go to school recently as there was an ambush, and warning “There are ghosts in the room!” regarding her group.
Su Qi suddenly discovered that the group friends now knew which university she attended.
It was like an author letting readers know their address. It was always a very dangerous thing.
After reporting the group number to Wang Zijin, Su Qi quickly received a reply from Wang Zijin on QQ.
It was an anime pretty girl character in a maid outfit with the subtitle: “Understood, Master!”
It made Su Qi a bit embarrassed. Fortunately, as a QQ group leader, she had an explosion of pictures. She very quickly found a “ah this” anime avatar that only showed the mouth but didn’t look embarrassed.
The two fought with pictures for a while before Wang Zijin said she had student union forms to fill out so couldn’t chat for now. Master!
Only then did Su Qi give up the picture fight.
However, what should she do now? She couldn’t go to university classes for a while and all missions were completed, with a bit of money in her pocket.
Why not relax for a couple days?
As soon as Su Qi had this thought, the system’s voice suddenly appeared: “Detected the host has a tendency to be a salted fish, now issuing mission—Dance Up.”
Dance Up mission description: Due to the host having extremely high intelligence, to exercise the host’s shortcoming, now issuing mission—Dance Up.
Within ten days, choose one of the following dances and perform an otaku dance that can reach the system’s score of 90%.
Dance choices: Paradise Pure Land, Dyed with Your Color, Renai Circulation, Chibi Maruko-chan… (The more complex the dance, the easier it is to score high!)
Mission reward: Stock Trading Books 1-12
Failure penalty: Frivolousness +10
Su Qi looked at the mission and was quite surprised. She asked, “I thought this was to dance for the group friends and gain their approval!”
But the system answered: “The host’s current charm is 8. After gaining the passive halo of Stunning the World, people who see the host have a default 10-point increase in favorability. Plus, the host has already learned the Flowery Swordsmanship Secret Manual and has a dance foundation. Gaining the group friends’ favorability is simply too easy.”
Su Qi felt that was true. Although she didn’t have a mirror at home, she knew her sword-brandishing movements were quite good. Su Qi felt that for an otaku dance, as long as she found an immortal-themed song, sword dancing could easily pass.
“Eh~ But that’s not right either. How come you’re not charging for photos this time? Don’t you usually want 10,000 yuan?” Su Qi asked a bit puzzled.
“Didn’t the host say before that you’ll make money for me to spend in the future? I was thinking of letting the host quickly make some money to obtain the mission reward. I heard from the neighboring system that this stock trading book is amazing, especially detailed! Then the host can learn this and make a fortune to give me to spend!!”
Su Qi couldn’t see the system, but hearing its tone now, it had completely invested into fantasy.
It made Su Qi feel guilty for a moment. Tricking a child made her feel uneasy inside, especially tricking the system, this little girl, made her even more uncomfortable.
Forget it, forget it. When the time comes to make money, she’ll still give her some. Otherwise, this system might really cry!
