“Sang Qiu, do you see that giant in the distance?”
“Master, that’s just a windmill.”
“Teacher, I just transferred here. I don’t have my own textbooks yet, so I’m borrowing from Meng Siyu. Sorry about that.”
“Oh, that’s fine. Sit down.”
“Let’s continue with the lesson.”
Looking at Su Moli beside her standing up so casually to brush off the “teacher’s roll call” that she was most afraid of, Meng Siyu’s eyes were full of admiration and longing.
If it were her, she would definitely be nervous standing in front of the entire class, stammering without being able to say a word.
“Alright, don’t be nervous. Let’s focus on the lesson.”
Su Moli quietly comforted Meng Siyu, then raised her head, eyes fixed intently on the blackboard.
“Hmm… hmm…”
Seeing Su Moli actually paying attention to the class seriously and not teasing her anymore, Meng Siyu was quite surprised.
She could only nod slightly in a barely audible voice, probably only she herself could hear it, then looked down at the textbook, feeling a bit disappointed for some reason.
【Congratulations, you have successfully become friends with Meng Siyu. Although she hasn’t admitted it yet, she’s starting to mentally accept that you and she can talk and chat, no longer hostile like at the beginning.】
【Please keep it up, continue to deepen emotional and psychological communication with Meng Siyu, help her unravel her inner conflicts, and change her selfish, sensitive, prideful, self-abasing, and self-neglecting personality.】
Waiting.
【Success: Reward—Primary Hypnosis; Failure: Reward—100 yuan】
Is the failure reward really that severe?
Interesting.
Hearing that the System’s rewards and punishments differ so greatly this time, Su Moli no longer treated it like a game and started taking it seriously.
After all, hypnosis is an indispensable part of all novels, comics, and doujinshi.
It’s extremely versatile as a superpower.
Compared to that, the 100 yuan failure reward was basically insulting.
“So, how can I change Meng Siyu’s self-abasing, prideful, sensitive, and self-neglecting personality?”
Looking at the teacher lecturing confidently at the blackboard, Su Moli raised her head and began to think intensely, running through events in her own life that helped her grow rapidly, both mentally and physically.
Suddenly!
A lightning bolt flashed through Su Moli’s mind—she had an idea!
【What did you think of?】
“I’m going to take her to get foot baths!”
[???]
【Are you crazy?】
“I’m not! You have to know, Lu Ziqiao from Apartment of Love was a virgin since childhood, but after 100 dates, he became a love god. I don’t believe that if I take her for 100 foot baths, where she can interact closely with boys, she’ll still be this shy!”
“Besides, one foot bath costs 200 yuan. 100 times is 100 x 200 = 20,000 yuan.”
“Spending 20,000 yuan to buy Primary Hypnosis is super worth it!”
【You’re the first host I’ve encountered who takes beautiful girls to foot baths. Other hosts, even men, if they just glance at their girlfriends, want to kill them and their whole families, exterminating nine generations.】
“In my opinion, these male protagonists are just too selfish. Love means acceptance, not endless restrictions.”
“If I could, I would give every beautiful girl in the world a warm home.”
“After all, a wife is only one, but you can have many friends.”
【Girlfriend, huh?】
“Don’t slander my innocence without evidence.”
【Innocence? Just refreshed earlier this morning?】
“Is she seriously listening to the lesson? Of course…no, I have to study hard too. I can’t be outdone by her, or she’ll probably look down on my grades too.”
Seeing Su Moli so focused on the blackboard beside her, Meng Siyu, as both friend and deskmate, didn’t want to be outdone and started trying hard to memorize every understandable word.
“Ding ling ling~”
Class is over.
The teacher had extended the lesson by two minutes but finally left the classroom satisfied.
The moment the teacher stepped out the door, the classroom instantly filled with laughter and chatter.
After the first class together, it was like fish in a tank getting used to each other’s scent.
A few bold male and female classmates started trying to greet Su Moli.
“Hello, you’re Su Moli, right? I’m Li Buba, the Chinese class rep. If you don’t understand anything, feel free to ask me anytime.”
“Okay, thanks.”
Hearing a long-haired girl walking over right after class, Su Moli was happy at first, but the moment she heard the voice, she realized it was a boy—and instantly felt…utterly deflated.
Only then did she remember that boys here could also have long hair and wear skirts.
“By the way, new student, do you play games?”
“I’m a 100-star King of Glory player. If you want to rank up, you can find me.”
“Stop messing around. I can tell right away Su Moli is into 2D. What’s your game UID? We can play Fate God together after school.”
Looking at the suddenly crowded desk beside her, where the only friend she’d just made was now surrounded by people, Meng Siyu felt inexplicably sad and wanted to avoid it.
She instinctively laid her head on the desk and pretended to sleep ♣
“Alright, alright, let’s chat next time. My friend is sleeping now, don’t disturb her.”
“By the way, I bought these snacks. I can’t finish them alone. If you like them, take some.”
“How…how can we accept this?”
“Sister, you’re so generous. If you ever need anything, I’ll dedicate all my resources to you.”
After using snacks to disperse the classmates, Su Moli rested her hand on the desk, her right cheek leaning against it, amusedly planning to watch Meng Siyu pretending to sleep.
【The girl is sad because you’re paying attention in class while she can’t focus ♥】
【The girl is sad because you’re so popular while she has no friends ♡】
【The girl is sad because you shared the food you bought for her with others ♡】
【The girl is sad because she realizes the food isn’t hers but thought it was, feeling selfish and hurt ♡】
“This person really can’t be saved. Time to use drastic measures!”
Hearing the System’s frequent notifications, Su Moli realized Meng Siyu might have already developed Dream Syndrome, possibly even psychosomatic.
Meng Siyu was probably starting to negate and belittle herself, feeling life was meaningless.
Fortunately, Su Moli had a very successful way to treat Dream Syndrome from high school.
Back then, a classmate in his final year of high school was struggling—poor grades, parents working away from home, full of illness, and had a younger brother under ten to care for.
The whole family depended on him to succeed.
As expected, the stress caused him to develop Dream Syndrome, feeling life was pointless and wanting to give up.
But after about a month, something suddenly changed overnight—he got better.
Everyone asked why.
It turned out his hometown was undergoing relocation, and he received two houses and over three million yuan in compensation.
FALL…
Su Moli had already planned a three-step treatment for Dream Syndrome.
First, take her to get foot baths, to say goodbye to being shy and blank in front of strangers, unable to utter a word.
Second, provide unlimited financial support (ripping off the System’s benefits), letting her try delicious food and fun experiences to broaden her horizons and shake off her self-abasement.
Don’t wait until 30 years old to finally have the money and time to visit the amusement park, aquarium, or zoo she loved as a child.
Third, send her to work in a factory—no, to continue her studies.
If working in a factory is hell, then school is undoubtedly heaven.
Make her realize money isn’t easily earned, temper her pride, and say goodbye to empty ambition.
Su Moli believed that after going through all this, Meng Siyu would definitely grow into a qualified high school girl.
“You…what…are you doing?”
Pretending to sleep with her head on the desk, Meng Siyu could no longer stand Su Moli’s unwavering gaze.
She felt a terrifying demon was hiding behind that smiling look, making her skin crawl.
