Chapter 9: Cold-faced man Shen Qingling

Shen Qingling heard the continuous broadcast of Heartbeat Values in his mind, and these Heartbeat Values were all converted into integral.

He opened the system panel and took a look.

Shen Qingling originally only had over three thousand integral, but now, through yesterday's trending topic and today's Heartbeat Values provided by the girls in school, the converted integral had already exceeded twenty thousand.

It had increased so much in just one day, so it seemed that maintaining long-term exposure was indeed very necessary.

"Ordinary Heartbeat Values are also very useful. As long as I can maintain exposure, I should be able to accumulate one hundred thousand integral very soon."

"Yes, Host. Once you accumulate enough integral, you can unlock some plotlines and character endings. There are also many items in the system store. Would the Host like to take a look?"

"Are the items you're talking about legitimate items?"

"Of course they are legitimate items. Of course, there are also illegitimate ones. As long as the Host has integral, there's nothing that can't be bought."

Shen Qingling looked around the system store and indeed, there was a wide variety of things, even adult toys.

—As expected, it wasn't a legitimate system.

However, with his current integral, he couldn't afford anything, so he could only look.

Soon after, the teacher came in, and Shen Qingling put away his thoughts and listened attentively to the lecture.

Although he had inherited the original owner's memories and knowledge, he would still fall behind if he didn't listen to lectures. He couldn't go from a top student to a slacker.

On the other side, Ruan Mingyi got up early in the morning, put on exquisite full makeup, and went to the coffee shop.

Upon learning that Shen Qingling only worked part-time there on weekends, she showed a look of regret.

"Qiao Qiao, he's not here."

"I told you. Today is Thursday. Shen Qingling is a Jiang University student, so he must be in class right now."

"I heard he's a top student. I just saw him on the trending searches this morning when I scrolled through Weibo. It turned out to be him."

"I also saw that Weibo post. That photo was indeed handsome. No wonder you fell in love with him at first sight."

"Alas, it's a pity he didn't even accept my WeChat friend request. Otherwise, how about we go to his school to find him?"

"Ah, aren't you afraid he'll ignore you?"

"I'll just say I'm looking for him to apologize, and then take him to buy a new set of clothes, saying it's compensation for him. Anyway, I have an excuse."

Ruan Mingyi felt her plan was flawless. Anyway, she had a reasonable excuse; it just depended on whether Shen Qingling could bear to refuse her.

Ruan Mingyi was very familiar with Jiang University. The Ruan family had donated a building to Jiang University, and she had even dined with the school's board members, so getting into Jiang University was easy.

Seeing the young faces in the school, she suddenly felt a bit old, lacking that youthful aura.

Ruan Mingyi sighed, "So young."

Ye Qiao smiled, "Why are you suddenly getting sentimental? You only graduated two years ago; you talk as if you're middle-aged."

"That's different. Graduating two years ago means you're an old hand. The clear foolishness in the eyes of university students is something we, who have worked, cannot possess."

"Oh please, is that what you call working? Sitting for an hour or two every day, pretending to work, drinking coffee, and not even turning on your computer—is that working?"

"Hmph, can't I even be sentimental for a bit? If I had to live like that, I'd rather jump off a building."

Ruan Mingyi and Ye Qiao chatted as they walked to Shen Qingling's classroom.

Ruan Mingyi immediately spotted the young man sitting upright in the classroom.

Ye Qiao: "How can he be so handsome even in class? It's like a scene from an idol drama."

Ruan Mingyi: "Those young idols aren't even half as handsome as him. Cold Face Bro is the handsome one."

"Cold Face Bro" was the nickname Ruan Mingyi gave to Shen Qingling.

Although Ruan Mingyi was a bit eccentric, she knew it was bad to disturb others during class, so she and Ye Qiao leaned against the railing in the hallway and chatted.

Even so, they still attracted the attention of many people in the classroom.

For example, a boy and a girl in front of Shen Qingling.

"Oh my, there are two beautiful women outside."

"Such good figures, fair skin, and long legs, I'm envious."

"Which department are they from? Such beauty shouldn't be unknown."

"Maybe they're not from our school. Look at their clothes and style; they clearly look rich, unlikely to be students."

"I'm a bumpkin; I can't tell what luxury brands they're wearing."

"I remember that bag seems to cost over a million."

...

Shen Qingling didn't even glance up, still immersed in his studies.

On the surface, it seemed that way, but in reality, he already knew who had arrived outside.

He remained calm, turning a deaf ear to the discussions outside, which immediately earned him praise from the girls in the class.

"Look at the guys in our class; their drool is almost flowing out. But Shen Qingling didn't even lift his eyes."

"It seems beautiful women hold no attraction for him. Perhaps the fragrance of knowledge is more alluring."

"My male god is someone who doesn't even care about the campus belle. To him, even the most beautiful woman is just a mere shell."

At this moment, another boy retorted, "Isn't it just that he knows he has no advantage besides a face? Which woman would want to look at his deadpan face every day?"

"Exactly. He probably doesn't even have money to buy his girlfriend clothes. How can someone who has to work part-time to earn tuition dare to date such a beautiful woman? She probably wouldn't even look at a pauper like him."

"Hahaha, the total value of those two beauties' outfits is his entire life's earnings. I think he doesn't dare to date purely out of fear of losing face." "If you girls knew how stingy he is in private, who would still worship him as a male god and swoon over him every day? Then his sense of superiority would be gone."

"You! Shen Qingling just doesn't have money now; it doesn't mean he won't have money in the future. You guys can just be jealous; may you die of jealousy!"

The boys chuckled, while the girls who had been discussing Shen Qingling earlier flushed with anger.

Damn it! They only know how to attack Shen Qingling by calling him poor. What a bunch of useless people!

Soon after, the bell rang, and people gradually left the classroom. Some even tried to talk to Ruan Mingyi, but she maintained a cold demeanor.

Everyone privately discussed who Ruan Mingyi and the other woman were there to find.

"Who do you think they're here for?"

"Cheng Chuan? Xie Zhiyao? Or Shen Qingling?"

"It can't be Shen Qingling. Who would dare to do that? Aren't they afraid of being humiliated by him face-to-face?"

"Then it must be Xie Zhiyao. After all, he has many beautiful women chasing him."

"Xie Zhiyao can date such a beautiful woman? I don't believe it."

"Then it's Cheng Chuan. Cheng Chuan is quite handsome too."

...

Shen Qingling got up and walked out of the classroom, immediately spotting Ruan Mingyi.

The two exchanged glances. He turned to leave, but Ruan Mingyi blocked his path.

"Hi, Shen Qingling, do you still remember me?"
