After reading the mission the system had issued,
Su Yun could only think: was this some kind of social-death system?
Dance an otaku dance in the city center. Wear revealing clothes and livestream it.
No matter how you looked at it, Su Yun just couldn't bring herself to do either of those right now.
Su Yun glanced at the third mission.
Late at night, dressed for a nightclub, standing at the end of a deserted alley...
If she was lucky and nobody else showed up, couldn't she just claim the reward for free?
Besides, the third mission offered the best reward.
Not only would the humiliation points she earned surpass the first two missions' rewards, but she'd also get a system for a savior organization—which sounded incredibly impressive.
Should she...
Just go for it!
It was all worth it to save the world.
Still, she wasn't an idiot.
She was a girl now—and a stunningly beautiful one at that. Being alone in a dark alley late at night while dressed in revealing clothes was extremely dangerous...
At least she had enough sense to realize that.
Su Yun stood in front of the mirror, admiring her face and figure over and over.
She was so captivated that she couldn't take her eyes off the mirror.
No wonder her Charm stat was a full 100...
And if she also met the mission's requirement to wear a nightclub outfit...
If she really ran into a bad guy, there'd be no way he'd let her go. She'd be in serious danger.
She had to come up with a plan.
“System, open the shop.”
【Shop】
AK-47 assault rifle: 20 currency units
Gene optimization serum: 1,000 currency units
Rank D superpower: 3,000 currency units
…
The shop's home page featured recommended items.
There were plenty of other things besides these.
Su Yun switched the category to All, then opened the filter and selected items costing 0–100 humiliation points.
【Shop】
Alloy dagger: 15 humiliation points
Alloy longsword: 30 humiliation points
Sanda mastery: 50 humiliation points
Strength fruit: 50 humiliation points
Agility fruit: 50 humiliation points
…
After looking through the shop's items, Su Yun's eyes lit up.
Just as she thought!
The system really was impressive. It didn't just have expensive, flashy stuff—it had useful things at low prices, too.
After a moment's hesitation, Su Yun bought Sanda mastery and a Strength fruit.
Strength fruit: Increases Strength by 5 points (effect diminishes with repeated use)
Sanda mastery: Sanda experience at a professional level.
After all, even if she carried a weapon, she might not have the upper hand against a thug with a weapon of his own.
As soon as she bought the two items,
she felt two streams of warmth burst through her body.
“Ding-dong. Host's combat rating has risen to Rank E. Host combat stats panel unlocked.”
Name: Su Yun
Gender: Female
Abilities: Rank S Charm, Rank E Sanda mastery.
Strength: 14 (the average adult man scores 10; same below)
Agility: 9
Intelligence: 11
Spirit: 0 (Spirit is a supernatural stat and the foundation for using superpowers, magic, and spells)
Overall combat rating: E+
Charm: 100 (peerless beauty, the pinnacle of humanity)
After checking her stats, Su Yun broke into a delighted smile.
The girl in the mirror smiled right back.
Su Yun had already been stunned by how beautiful she looked just standing there. Now that she was smiling, she was even more radiant, her face blooming with joy.
“Ah, if only the girl in front of me were my girlfriend.”
After staring for a long while, Su Yun finally came back to her senses.
The smile Su Yun had just shown was because she'd gained some combat ability. She no longer had to fear the challenge of the third mission.
More importantly, she had a love rival!
To be precise, she had a love rival in her previous life.
That guy was called Chu Feng. Back in elementary and middle school, the two of them had been good friends who often played games together.
But after they entered the same high school, Su Yun in her previous life had secretly fallen for their school's campus belle, Mu Zhiqing.
Mu Zhiqing was the campus belle of Jiangcheng No. 1 High School. She was gorgeous, and countless people pursued her.
In his previous life, Su Yun had only admired her from afar and hadn't confessed. He hadn't even properly pursued Mu Zhiqing...
After all, he'd been utterly ordinary in his previous life, and he didn't think he was good enough for Mu Zhiqing.
Then, in their senior year, Chu Feng actually announced to everyone that Mu Zhiqing was his girlfriend—and Mu Zhiqing herself didn't deny it.
Su Yun wasn't the type to cling to a lost cause. He'd only had a secret crush, and Chu Feng had every right to pursue anyone he wanted. Su Yun should've wished them well, even if he still felt a knot in his chest.
But who could've guessed that Chu Feng would break up with Mu Zhiqing in his second year of college!
And as soon as they broke up, Chu Feng got together with another woman.
That made Su Yun furious!
In Su Yun's mind, Chu Feng had thrown away the goddess he adored, Mu Zhiqing.
Unforgivable.
Later, Su Yun went to Chu Feng several times, hoping to get an explanation, but got nowhere.
After that, Su Yun even got into a fight with Chu Feng.
The most infuriating part was that Su Yun hadn't even beaten him.
That bastard came from a wealthy family, worked out at the gym all the time, and had even studied taekwondo for a while. Of course Su Yun hadn't stood a chance.
But that guy had no idea that Su Yun had been reborn!
I, Su Yun, am back—and now I've got a system. I'm going to beat that punk until he can't tell up from down!
With the Sanda mastery she'd bought from the system and 14 points of Strength,
she might not be one of the strongest people in the world, but taking on Chu Feng would be a piece of cake.
Chu Feng, just you wait!
…
Jiangcheng, the old district.
In a dim little alley, the streetlights flickered now and then.
Su Yun walked along, trembling with fear.
She was wearing a tight black dress that perfectly outlined her figure.
At first, Su Yun had hoped to find a loophole in the phrase “nightclub outfit.”
But the least revealing option that still counted as nightclub attire was a skirt or hot pants...
There was no choice. She'd just have to do it!
This was all for the sake of saving the world.
“Crackle—”
A spark snapped, and the last streetlight went out.
Now she really was alone in a pitch-black alley. Only the faint glow from the apartment buildings in the distance and the moon gave her just enough light to see the way ahead.
“Don't be scared. What is there to be scared of?”
“I'm Rank E+ now, with Sanda mastery and 14 points of Strength. An ordinary person would be no trouble at all.”
“Ding-dong. Host, remain here for one hour to complete the mission.”
Just one hour. No problem.
…
Elsewhere, in Jiangcheng's Jinghong Villa Community.
Chu Feng was reviewing company documents in his study, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was stuck inside him.
Unable to focus on the documents, Chu Feng seemed to be under some strange influence. He got on his bicycle, worth hundreds of thousands, and rode off alone.
For some reason, Chu Feng felt as if something in the distance was drawing him in.
…
The alley.
No one had passed by during the first half hour of the mission.
“NICE! Just another half hour like this, and the mission's done.” Su Yun cheered herself on.
But not long after she said that,
two people appeared in the distance, walking toward her.
