2: Chapter 2 System?

When Wang Shuo arrived at the school auditorium, sweating profusely, the auditorium was already packed with people. There were also many freshmen filling the aisles, making it almost impossible to pass.

Just as Wang Shuo was at a loss, a voice suddenly shouted: "Second Bro, over here!"

Wang Shuo looked up and saw a tall, bearded young man waving at him from a seat in the third-to-last row. His voice was deep and loud, causing those around him to glance over.

Wang Shuo really wanted to slap this guy to death, but now was clearly not the time, so he had to bite the bullet and push through the crowd beside him.

"I say, Second Bro, how about that? Am I loyal enough?" The young man patted the seat beside him with a smug look on his face. "I saved this seat specifically for you. Someone without eyes tried to snatch it earlier, but I chased him off."

"You're amazing, you're the most amazing." Wang Shuo rolled his eyes and plopped down into the seat.

The young man's name was Zheng Jun, a lad from the Northeast. Standing over 1.8 meters tall, he stood out remarkably in this department dominated by skinny, artsy youths. Of course, he was also the dormitory leader who had just been elected today.

"That's right. Ask Third Bro, ask Fourth Bro, how I chased that guy off." Zheng Jun was beaming with pride.

Third Bro's name was Li Li, a youth with an artistic air. He was a few months younger than Wang Shuo and wore a pair of large, framed glasses that looked like they were about to crush his nose bridge. Li Li loved software programming, and he had the distinct aura of a coder.

"I didn't see that." Li Li pushed up his glasses. "I was just conceptualizing new software. Fourth Bro, did you see it?"

"Me neither." Fourth Bro, Chen Cheng, wore a mischievous smile. "After all, there are so many pretty girls. I only have two eyes and two ears; they're simply not enough."

Chen Cheng possessed an incredibly handsome face. What? How handsome? Well, every time Wang Shuo saw that face, he inexplicably wanted to land a punch on it and give it a little plastic surgery.

To put it more bluntly, hmm, if Fourth Bro went to act in a TV drama, he would definitely be an idol type.

Interrupted by Third Bro and Fourth Bro, Wang Shuo looked at Zheng Jun with an innocent expression.

"You guys..." Zheng Jun didn't expect these brothers of his to be so shameless. After huffing for a while, he turned to Wang Shuo and asked, "By the way, Wang Shuo, what were you doing? Why did it take so long? You almost missed the ceremony."

"This..." Wang Shuo thought for a moment, then shook his head. "It's complicated to explain. I haven't even figured out the situation myself yet."

"Oh?" The three brothers were immediately interested. "What sort of unspeakable secret is it? Tell us and let everyone have a laugh."

Truly, birds of a feather flock together; it seems there's a reason these three idiots ended up together.

"It's nothing, I just ended up playing the hero saving a damsel in distress for no reason." Wang Shuo described the situation he encountered with a depressed look.

"Wow, my admiration for you is like a surging river, endless. You are my idol." Chen Cheng put on an exaggerated expression, his tone extremely ambiguous.

"Hurry up and tell us, was the girl you saved pretty?"

"Wang Shuo, do you have some kind of superpower? The kind that specifically attracts girls?" This was Zheng Jun.

"Didn't anything happen between you and the girl?" This was Li Li.

...

Wang Shuo was bombarded by the group and felt completely bewildered. He rubbed his head, feeling speechless. What was in the heads of these people? Even Li Li, who usually looked very mature and serious, had changed his face.

"Can I say that I have no idea what's going on? I'm still completely confused. As for what the girl's name is, how would I know? Go ask the girl yourselves!"

"No way, right?" Chen Cheng looked disbelieving. "You played the hero saving a damsel in distress; shouldn't the beauty offer herself to you?"

"You've been watching too many TV dramas!" Wang Shuo looked at him with disdain.

"Then you should at least know what the girl looked like, right? Don't tell me you played the hero, and didn't even see what the girl looked like?" Chen Cheng also looked at him with disdain.

"This..." Wang Shuo touched the back of his head where he had been hit. It felt perfectly normal; it seemed as if being hit was just his own hallucination. "I... apparently... really didn't see it clearly..."

"Damn!" Chen Cheng immediately let out a weird cry, pointing at Wang Shuo. "You... you..."

"You really are a talent, brother." Zheng Jun patted Wang Shuo's shoulder. "I thought I was the only one who didn't know how to please girls. It turns out you don't either. It's okay, we're not alone. At worst, we'll just be single dogs together." As he said this, he looked gratified.

Third Bro Li Li also looked like a fellow traveler.

Wang Shuo felt mentally exhausted.

"I say, have you guys noticed the girls this year? The quality is rarely seen in recent years; we're in luck." Chen Cheng's train of thought jumped quickly. As he spoke, he looked around.

"Indeed. I've observed it too. The quality of the girls this year has improved a lot." Zheng Jun looked very agreeable. Although he wasn't looking around wildly, he still had a lecherous expression.

Regarding this matter, Wang Shuo expressed that he would not voice an opinion, because he felt it had nothing to do with him. He was a shut-in; a shut-in should stay at home. Picking up girls was clearly not suitable for him.

Thus, Wang Shuo wisely chose to keep his mouth shut, listening to the leader and Fourth Bro spouting all sorts of nonsense. One moment they were evaluating which pretty girls were in the neighboring class, the next they were staring at some girl and commenting on her figure, or if that didn't work, guessing the girl's measurements.

In short, it was all sorts of lewdness—at least that's what Wang Shuo thought.

As for Third Bro, he had long been immersed in his own creation.

As his thoughts slowly drifted, Wang Shuo seemed to slowly sink into a strange state.

"Waking up... Unknown information detected... Receiving information... Reception complete... Executing conversion..."

"Mental fluctuations detected, beginning detection..."

"Detection failed... Restarting detection..."

"Detection failed... Restarting detection..."

"Detection failed... Initiating judgment..."

"Judgment result: Mental fluctuations are weak, unable to detect..."

"Judgment result A0014532, does not exceed limitations."

"Executing logic sequence... Opening database... Openness coefficient 0.00000000000000000001..."

"Closing intelligence... Closing highest sequence... Executing secondary sequence..."

"Beginning target identification... Warning... Load too high... Unable to search for target..."

"Error occurred... Executing logic sequence... Changing priority... Identifying nearest target..."

"Target confirmed... Beginning database input..."

"Target information confirmed: Wang Shuo."

If Wang Shuo had been conscious at this moment, he definitely would have exclaimed: "Damn! System!"

Unfortunately, Wang Shuo was currently unconscious; only his brain was silently receiving the data stream.

Time passed, second by second.
