Xun Ji found it amusing: “Go ahead and eat.”
Yaoxing students all had a bit of that Eldest Young Master or Young Miss temperament. Even the pack trailing his ass turned into little tyrants elsewhere. But Lin Yule gave Xun Ji a rare taste of the innocence and youthful energy a high schooler should have.
Lin Yule snatched a Strawberry and popped it in his mouth, mumbling around it: “These Strawberries are pretty sweet, huh? You don’t get sick of dipping them in cream?”
Xun Ji drawled lazily: “Sour.”
He loved Strawberries—loved them a ton.
He hated sour—hated it intensely.
Even if there was just a hint of sourness left in the Strawberry, he had to mask it with something sweet.
The two quickly polished off the plate. Lin Yule smacked his lips in satisfaction, raring to go.
“A Xun, now that you’re back, let’s go find some fun.”
Xun Ji remembered his Daily Tasks and sighed: “Yeah, time to find some fun.”
Lin Yule’s eyes lit up: “Where to?”
Xun Ji stood, brushing nonexistent dust from his uniform, and flashed the signature School Bully smirk he’d practiced in the mirror for half an hour last night:
“To bully someone.”
At the door of Junior Year Class 3 classroom.
“Young Master Xun, Lu Zhou isn’t here,” said a student whose name tag read Luo Xunan, eyeing him warily.
“I know,” Xun Ji replied arrogantly. “I’m asking for his home address.”
Luo Xunan frowned: “Why do you want that?”
Lin Yule played the lackey role perfectly: “When the senior asks, you answer—what’s with the chit-chat!”
Xun Ji and Lin Yule were third-years, naturally their seniors.
Luo Xunan’s face paled, a touch of fear showing, but moments later he seemed to muster courage. He clenched his fists and stared Xun Ji down:
“Young Master Xun, Lu Zhou’s family just went through that… please… please let him go!”
Xun Ji was mildly surprised. This Luo Xunan was the first besides the Protagonist to dare stand up to him.
Intrigued, Xun Ji teased him on purpose: “Oh? What happened to his family? Why should I let him go?”
“His mom just passed away. He’s got a little sister at home to take care of, and…” Luo Xunan lowered his voice, “I heard his dad owes gambling debts and is hiding from creditors. The family’s all hanging on by Lu Zhou’s part-time gigs.”
Sick mom, debt-ridden dad, young sister, and him, shattered. Xun Ji sighed inwardly—not bad for Protagonist-standard kit.
“So Young Master Xun, please have some mercy and let Lu Zhou go!”
Had Luo Xunan lost his mind? The surrounding students exchanged glances, edging away from him, eager for the show of Young Master Xun putting him in his place.
Xun Ji actually thought the kid was alright. He dropped the School Bully facade and gave him a friendly smile: “You know all that—you his friend?”
Luo Xunan’s face drained further. After struggling, he squeezed his eyes shut and shouted: “Yes!”
Xun Ji pinged the System mentally: “Lu Zhou’s got a friend at school? Was there a Luo Xunan in the original text?”
The System sounded unsure: 【Need me to pull up the original for you, Host?】
Xun Ji was speechless: “You’re the System—don’t even know the original text?”
The System whined: 【I represent the System, but I’m really just an AI service module. System data only loads when the Host needs it. I kept urging you to study the original properly for the Tasks ahead, but you chased pleasure and slacked off—now you’re blaming me!】
Xun Ji had indeed skimmed the opening and ditched the original. He just didn’t like dark revenge stories.
Feeling guilty, he soothed mentally: “Alright, alright—pull up Luo Xunan’s appearances for me.”
【Mastering the original plot is huge for Key Plot Points.】 The System nagged on while retrieving, 【Host, you can’t keep being this lazy… Ah!!!】
A sharp burst of noise exploded in Xun Ji’s head, stabbing pain at his temple.
Lin Yule saw Xun Ji’s expression sour and snarled at Luo Xunan: “If you’re his friend, you know where he lives—spit it out!”
Luo Xunan flinched but stubbornly stayed silent.
Xun Ji rubbed his temple and asked the System: “What was that racket?”
【Host! Big trouble!】 The System panicked. 【The original… the original’s locked!】
“Locked?” Xun Ji puzzled. “Wasn’t it viewable a few days ago?”
【Not just the original—even the Protagonist’s Blackening Value can’t be checked!】
The System’s tone was gravely serious: 【Host, the System has been invaded by an unknown force. I must immediately enter lockdown for a full antivirus scan and investigation.】
…That serious?
【During lockdown, I won’t be able to talk to you, but Task issuance and rewards will auto-process. Good luck, Host.】
With a 【Beep——】, the System went silent.
Xun Ji tried calling out twice—no response.
Xun Ji was done. This Unlucky System looked more and more like a defective product. But…
Hell yeah! No System, no Tasks! Young Master Xun’s Blissful Carefree Campus Life, Episode 1—curtain up!
Xun Ji was thrilled over here, while Lin Yule diligently menaced Luo Xunan over there, finally prying his mouth open.
“Even if you go to his place, you won’t find him,” Luo Xunan mustered his last scrap of courage. “Lu Zhou came to school today to handle early Scholarship withdrawal procedures. He’s probably already got the money and gone to buy a plot for his mom’s grave.”
【Beep—Key Plot Point detected.】
【System Task issued: Stop Protagonist Lu Zhou from obtaining the Scholarship, and destroy [Mother’s heirloom: Peace Jade]. Time limit: One hour.】
【This is a Key Plot Point Task. Completion reward: 1000 Points. Failure penalty: Deduct 10,000 Points.】
【Friendly reminder: Host’s current Points: 10. If Points go negative, Host will be erased.】
