102: The class representative has fallen!

The midday sun was scorching, as if it wanted to bake the oil out of the deck.

Zhou Qian squatted in a corner, holding a broken mirror to look at herself.

The person in the mirror had hair like dry grass, and the two dark circles under her eyes were heavier than smokey eye makeup.

Her skin, eroded by long-term sea breezes, was as rough as sandpaper.

"When will these miserable days ever end..."

She sighed and picked at the sleep crust in the corner of her eye.

Creak—

The Gothic-style door at the bow finally opened.

In that instant, it felt as if a portal to another dimension had been opened.

A blast of high-end sandalwood-scented air conditioning swept across half the deck, delivering a dimensional strike to the group of girls covered in the stench of sweat.

All the girls stopped what they were doing and looked over in unison.

Chen Du was the first to walk out.

Black shirt, collar slightly open, hair clean and fluffy.

His entire being was so clean he looked like he'd just finished a fashion magazine cover shoot, completely detached from the refugee-like aesthetic of those around him.

Next was Xia Mo.

A tight tank top outlined her perfect curves. Her skin was so white it reflected light, and a sense of satisfaction radiated from her eyes and brows.

Then came An Nuonuo.

The little loli's cheeks were flushed, and her gait was a bit light.

She looked like she'd drunk some fake wine, so nourished she practically glowed.

Xia Lai was the most excessive.

Stretching her limbs, she let out a punchable groan.

"Ah~~ So comfortable! This is the life people are meant to live!"

She tossed her silky shoulder-length hair and strutted a catwalk in front of Zhou Qian's group.

Her mouth opened, and out came pure humble-bragging.

"Oh dear, I slept so soundly I didn't even dream. How annoying."

"Sisters, help me check—did I get paler? It looks like my dark circles are gone. This is ridiculous!"

As soon as she said this, the deck erupted.

The group of girls' eyes turned green with envy.

"Second Sister! Is it really that magical inside?"

"Holy crap, Nuonuo's skin looks like she had a laser facial! This isn't scientific!"

"This scent... I feel like my migraine is cured just from smelling it!"

For girls, missing a meal might be bearable.

But becoming ugly, aging, or having their skin ruined? That was harder to endure than being killed!

Looking at these three goddesses who seemed to have beauty filters on, and then looking at their own ghastly appearances...

Their mentalities collapsed!

"Magical doesn't even cover it."

Xia Lai raised an eyebrow and continued to embellish: "The bed is as soft as a cloud, it's a constant 24 degrees, and there's full manual massage. Most importantly..."

"Sleeping in there feels like your soul is being purified. Fear, anxiety—none of it exists."

"I want to go in too! Waaaah! I want to sleep on a soft bed!"

Zhao Mengmeng broke down on the spot, crying as she lunged forward and grabbed Chen Du's pant leg, refusing to let go.

"Captain! Daddy! I beg you! Let me sleep inside for one night! I'm even willing to sleep on the floor!"

"That's right, Captain! We're all classmates, you can't play favorites!"

A group of girls looked at Chen Du expectantly.

Those longing gazes were more intense than if they'd seen braised pork.

Chen Du sat on his newly made Bloodwood Throne.

He crossed his legs and lit a cigarette.

Through the curling smoke, he looked at this group of frenzied women.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

Scarcity marketing is always a divine skill for manipulating hearts.

"Want to go in?"

Chen Du flicked the ash.

The entire area went silent immediately.

"You want to go in? Fine."

"From today on, we're implementing a point system."

"Kill a low-level sea monster, 10 points. Collect a liter of fresh water, 5 points. As for pleasing me..."

Chen Du's gaze swept over everyone playfully.

"The price depends on my mood."

"Oh, right! There are only three slots per day."

When the girls heard this, the atmosphere changed.

Best friends who were just supporting each other now had calculation in their eyes.

The post-apocalyptic rat race had officially begun.

A cold smile curled on Chen Du's lips... The implementation of the point system made ferry no. 0819 completely competitive.

The girls, who previously needed Chen Du to use a whip to get them moving, were now acting like they'd been injected with chicken blood.

They scrambled to wash the deck, scrambled to cook, and almost got into a fight over a watch duty slot in the lookout tower.

As a core member, Li Yaozhi was currently standing at the door of the lounge.

She gripped the crystal pendant in her hand, her palm slick with sweat.

Tonight, it was her turn.

"Come in."

Chen Du's lazy voice came from inside the room.

Li Yaozhi took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

The moment the door closed, the clamor of the world was completely shut out.

Chen Du leaned against the headboard, wearing only a pair of loose pajama pants.

His lean, muscular upper body was well-defined, marked with several new scars.

"Chen... Chen Du."

Li Yaozhi felt her throat go dry.

Her aloof Study Committee Member persona couldn't be maintained at all in front of this man.

"What are you standing there for?"

Chen Du didn't even look up. "Nuonuo and Xia Mo aren't feeling well today. You'll take their place."

Take their place?

Li Yaozhi bit her lip.

She certainly knew what An Nuonuo had done last night.

That kind of shameful thing... but looking at this luxurious bed and feeling this long-lost sense of security.

"Okay."

Li Yaozhi walked over submissively and took off her coat.

Underneath was a thin white camisole.

She knelt on the edge of the bed, her trembling fingers reaching for Chen Du's shoulder.

Her fingertips were ice-cold.

Chen Du turned his head.

A pair of golden pupils scrutinized her.

"You're shaking."

"I... I can't control it..."

Li Yaozhi bit her lip hard, a flash of madness in her eyes.

It was a sign that her SAN value was about to hit zero.

The whispers in her ears were driving her crazy; only by being near Chen Du would the voices disappear.

She tremblingly held up the crystal pendant.

The pendant pointed frantically at Chen Du—he was the only way out.

"Save me..."

Li Yaozhi dropped all pretenses and proactively hugged Chen Du's waist. "Please, make me quiet..."

Chen Du grabbed the back of her head and pulled her toward him.

Their breaths intertwined.

"On this ship, I am the only rule."

"If you want this peace, you have to pay the price."

"I know..." Li Yaozhi looked at the face inches away.

This man, who she once thought was cold-blooded and brutal.

Had become her only choice.

Amidst the comfort of her SAN value gradually recovering, her defenses completely collapsed.

"Chen Du..."

Li Yaozhi closed her eyes and moaned, proactively kissing him.

"Faster..."

Chen Du let out a soft laugh and flipped over, pinning this 'flower on a high peak' beneath him.

"Good performance, I'll give you ten points."

Suddenly.

Countless black shadows rose into the air, tightly wrapping around the lovely body before him.

That night.

From within the Bloodwood Door, there was the faint sound of a long-suppressed release.

The sandalwood scent wafting from the door crack grew even stronger.

Even the girls guarding the door felt a flush of heat throughout their bodies after inhaling it.

The terrifying images in their minds were replaced by certain fantasies.

Lin Keke, listening to the commotion inside, felt her legs go weak and slumped to the floor.

Early the next morning.

The Bloodwood Door opened.

Li Yaozhi walked out.

She was still wearing that white shirt, buttoned all the way to the top.

She had regained her usual aloofness and tidiness, but there was an added touch of charm in her eyes.

When Chen Du walked out, she naturally handed him a glass of warm water.

Facing the jealous gazes of the surrounding girls, Li Yaozhi gave a faint glance, her aura fully unleashed:

"What are you looking at? Why aren't you out earning points?"

This scene.

Deeply stung the other girls.

What's going on? Even the Study Committee Member has fallen!
