Chapter 117 Are You Piling Up Murder Books Here?

The campus forum of Linjiang University is quite a lively place.

Thanks to the unique atmosphere of the school, the forum not only hosts current students but also numerous alumni and outside individuals interested in the institution, like students hoping to get admitted.

Today, the forum is ablaze with one particular topic—the campus league.

Ling Mo single-handedly crushed the entire opposing team and took home the championship, representing Linjiang University and bringing honor to the whole school.

Someone even compiled all his highlights from the match into a video; just watching that one video is practically an award show for the king of pressure.

And now, that video has reached one hundred thousand views.

Ling Mo has become quite famous in the school.

Not just for his skills on the court, but also because of his looks.

I must admit, Ling Mo is quite the handsome guy—tall, in great shape, and has the muscles built from years of working out, all of which exudes a certain manly charm that’s a killer combo for the hearts of some love-struck girls.

And then…

They heard about Ling Mo’s girlfriend—Xia Xinyan.

And just like that, they froze.

Who is Xia Xinyan? The daughter of a wealthy family among the wealthiest, even carrying her shoes would probably be unworthy of them.

And no one is prettier than her.

So why would they even hope that the handsome Ling would notice them?

Ling Mo had no idea how many budding loves he had snuffed out overnight.

Neither did Xia Xinyan know that she had become the biggest roadblock to her little schemes.

After all, she had never been in a relationship and had taken things too lightly.

She originally thought that she wouldn’t need to let those girls come and try to play the role of the “other woman.” As long as they revealed a hint of liking Ling Mo, she could secretly give them a nudge and then gracefully exit the scene herself.

Unfortunately, she underestimated the power of her own identity.

But at least for now, she was blissfully unaware of this matter.

What occupied her mind now was something else—

Those two lottery qualifications.

Ling Mo left for school early the next morning. By the time Xia Xinyan woke up, the bedding by her bedside had already lost its warmth.

Staring at the bedding for a while, Xia Xinyan picked up her phone to check the time.

Speaking of which, this date… doesn’t it mean that Ling Mo is getting close to finding an internship?

It seemed she had also found an internship around this time in her past life.

It was precisely because of the various mundane tasks related to the internship that she hadn’t been able to touch a game for quite a while, resulting in her falling behind.

This time, she wasn’t going to let Ling Mo waste time like that.

Yawning and looking quite disheveled, she lazily got out of bed and started getting dressed.

The clothes she had ordered from the tailor had already arrived. But though they were called clothes, most of them were still pants. The only difference from ordinary pants was… a little hole in the back for her tail.

Just for convenience, you know.

It’s worth mentioning that during this time, Ling Mo wasn’t the only one indulging himself; she had enjoyed plenty too—mostly for training her abilities. As she became increasingly familiar with her powers, she discovered a new function—

In her simple catgirl form, she could refrain from allowing her tail to show.

But in her succubus state, exposing the tail was a must.

This was good news, since that big tail wasn’t easy to hide. If it showed up in real life, it could lead to problems. However, being a catgirl had its perks, providing significant convenience beyond just fighting, like eavesdropping yesterday.

No need to show the tail and much safer.

The downside was that her battle power would be reduced without the tail.

But at least, it didn’t seem to have any major impact for now.

After dressing, she approached the full-length mirror and tried to activate her powers.

A pair of cat ears suddenly popped up from her head, and a long tail swayed behind her.

She turned around, lifted her shirt to check behind her.

The hole for the tail was perfectly positioned, not hindering her tail’s movement at all.

Hmm… this outfit is pretty good.

However, it suddenly made her realize something she had been ignoring all along.

By the way, her current identity, the family background, is quite a significant one, right? Moreover, they were able to acquire so many first-generation game pods, indicating they surely had some abilities there.

So… would they know about this game?

Until now, aside from the butler who had interacted with her, no one else related to this identity had approached her.

Could it be Tianji?

[This system has made no alterations regarding the host’s relevant contacts; the current identity of the host is a new variable inserted as the most suitable result after three simulations.]

“…So it’s completely their issue?”

[The host may utilize the rights associated with this identity appropriately.]

Xia Xinyan pondered.

After a moment of silence, she transformed back to her ordinary appearance and left the bedroom: “I’ll deal with that later, let’s check the lottery first.”

Ever since she drew underwear in the second lottery, she hadn’t had high hopes for the results, so after the third, she didn’t rush to draw either.

It was probably just a stroke of bad luck at the start.

But that said, she still had a tiny glimmer of hope inside—gambler’s mentality, you know?

Ling Mo had left her breakfast, and Xia Xinyan was getting quite used to his daily service. As she sat down with her breakfast, she started on the lottery.

The first one used the ordinary lottery qualification.

It was still that familiar box, and after a tremor, it suddenly exploded, bursting forth a golden light.

[Congratulations, host, it’s SSR.]

Xia Xinyan watched as the layer of golden light faded away, revealing a small bottle underneath.

She reached out to take it, and the description of the bottle popped up in her mind.

[Divine Perfume]

[This perfume will increase the user’s charm by 300%; the effect is doubled for those already infatuated with the user.]

Xia Xinyan: “……”

Tianji made an appropriate attempt to show some presence—

[It is suggested that the host apply the perfume and wear lingerie in succubus form to shoot the original host with an arrow.]

“Are you piling up murder books here?”

[……]

Xia Xinyan promptly threw the perfume into the trash can: “Are SSRs really this cheap nowadays? Everything is being used as filler?”

[Correction, the Divine Perfume is indeed SSR grade.]

Xia Xinyan remained silent for a moment before smiling: “Then can you give me a decent SSR?”

She didn’t even know whether to call herself lucky or unlucky.

If you call her unlucky, she shines every time; if you call her lucky, she just gets all the useless stuff.

Tianji said nothing.

It must’ve sensed Xia Xinyan’s mood.

After forcing herself to calm down with a few sips of porridge, Xia Xinyan turned her gaze toward the precise lottery: “What’s the difference between precise and ordinary lottery?”

[Precise lottery qualifications allow the host to specify the type of lottery items.]

“What types are there?”

[Weapons, consumables, practical battle equipment, practical survival tools… etc.]

“Then… weapons.”

[Weapon type specified, please draw the lottery.]

Xia Xinyan prepared herself mentally for a moment and chose to draw.

She couldn’t believe they would pull out something ridiculous again this time.

—And then, that box glowed with gold again.

[Congratulations, host, it’s SSR.]

“……”

Is SSR really this cheap?

Just as that thought crossed her mind, a faint pink bow suddenly materialized in the air.

Xia Xinyan’s eyebrows twitched, an ominous premonition flashed within her.

—And it quickly proved true.

[Cupid’s Bow]

[Targets hit by arrows from this bow will fall hopelessly in love with the attacker and become obedient to their commands; the effect lasts for one hour and can be ended early by the user.]

Tianji immediately chimed in—

[It is suggested that the host spray perfume, wear lingerie, transform into a succubus, and shoot the original host with an arrow.]

“……”

Tonight’s update was skipped.

Today the school moved dorms, and since noon when I started updating, I’ve been moving until now without a break. I’m so exhausted I could collapse.

So tonight’s update is postponed.

Tomorrow… I might catch up.

Probably.
