The girls gathered in groups of two or three, mostly clinging to their roommates whom they had met while moving into the dorms earlier that day.
They were either whispering among themselves or chatting on their phones. Some shared their new university life with friends, while others exchanged expressions of longing with their high school lovers.
Most of the girls who had just entered their freshman year did not yet know how to showcase their charm, except for a few who were more mature and dressed vibrantly.
The rest were mostly bare-faced, their clothes uncoordinated.
However, gold always shines. Even without intentional styling, some were enough to attract the gaze of most boys. Luo Yueli was one such girl.
Though her height was not particularly striking, her figure was well-proportioned and clean. Her skin was smooth and fair, like a freshly peeled lychee.
Her small face featured exquisite traits, and her crystal-clear eyes were full of life, making her incredibly beautiful.
Her gorgeous black hair fell over her delicate shoulders, neat yet free-spirited, still carrying a hint of lingering childhood innocence.
Even among these sixty-some girls, she was the most outstanding—a pure and beautiful little white flower. She was like the cold, desirable, yet unattainable white moonlight in every man’s heart.
The girls surrounding her were also attractive.
Though they could not quite compare to Luo Yueli, they each had their own merits. In just a short while, several boys had already gone up to strike up a conversation.
‘This is probably the “beauty dorm” that often appears in urban novels,’ Su Yichen thought as he watched the scene unfold.
Of course, this was just a small interlude in his vision. Regardless of gender, no one was better looking than him.
In male clothing, Su Yichen was an inviolable, peerless beautiful youth, but if he changed into female clothing, he was a fairy capable of charming all living beings.
Under his glasses, the youth’s gaze was cold, like an aloof god looking down on the masses. He was searching for his capture targets.
Based on past experience, the more targets there were, the higher the probability of meeting one in the first scene.
There were exactly four now.
Reasonably speaking, he had to run into at least one today. He needed to start testing the waters as soon as possible to reap some benefits first.
Among the capture targets in the Void Realm, Su Yichen was not sure about the Hatred Value, but the Love Value was subject to change.
It would not stay fixed once it increased; by that logic, Hatred Value should be the same.
However, Su Yichen was not too worried; he had experience.
Even though values changed, if a feeling was unforgettable enough, it would remain relatively stable, leaving room for manipulation within a certain range.
‘But can two completely different attributes like love and hate really rise together? Instead of one rising as the other falls?’
Su Yichen was merely puzzled; he did not doubt the rationality of it too much. The Void Realm would never have such a low-intelligence bug.
Every Void Realm was like a story. Since it was a story, there would naturally be protagonists, supporting characters, and extras.
While everyone is the protagonist of their own life, in a larger environment, only a few dazzling individuals are true protagonists. This was true for the Void Realm, and even more so for the real world.
The targets were the protagonists, distinct from everyone else.
So… After watching for a long time, only those few from the beauty dorm seemed to fit the bill.
‘Which one of them could it be? It’ll be easier once I know their names.’
Before confirming exactly who the target was, Su Yichen did not plan to interact with people blindly.
He walked a few steps toward the four boys near the back door. Two of these four boys had just come back from investigating the crowd.
“Hello, classmate. I’m Su Yichen… May I ask you something?” Su Yichen lightly tapped the arm of a tall, sunny-looking boy and said somewhat shyly, “Do you know the names of those pretty girls over there?”
His voice was pleasant, crisp yet seemingly bashful. “I’m not as brave as you guys. My face turns red as soon as I talk to girls… So, I’m a bit embarrassed… um…”
Su Yichen had experienced many types of Void Realms in the past, from an aloof, cold master to a flamboyant male escort in a female-dominated world.
He had even played the part of the green tea white lotus elf femboy princess who triggered a great war between worlds and was hailed by the Winged Race prophet as a red-faced calamity.
He had dabbled in them all and successfully managed every role. Precisely because of this, Su Yichen had long been accustomed to playing different characters.
With the boost from his Fate Pattern, [Seven-aperture Exquisite Heart], he was a man of a thousand faces.
Now, he was playing the role of a shy, insecure young boy.
“Su Yichen? Hello, I’m Zhang Zhe.” Zhang Zhe was cheerful. He looked in the direction Su Yichen pointed and gave a smile every man understood.
“Those four over there? The one in the middle is Luo Yueli. The tallest one on the right with the longest legs is Shen Ran.”
“The shorter one on Luo Yueli’s left with short hair who looks cute is Tong Ya. The remaining one playing on her phone is Zhao Shubai. I’ve already checked—Zhao Shubai has a boyfriend. The rest are single.”
“You and I have a great future ahead.” Zhang Zhe reached out and patted Su Yichen’s shoulder.
Considering Su Yichen’s slightly thin build, he did not use much force. After all, Zhang Zhe stood over 1.8 meters tall, towering over Su Yichen.
“You know all that already? Brother Zhe, you’re amazing!” Su Yichen’s voice rose slightly, not hiding his admiration at all. “I’m hopeless. I don’t even dare to ask their names, let alone find out all that…”
“Of course. Choosing the Department of Literature was a wise move.” Zhang Zhe felt his liking for Su Yichen increase significantly. “Brother Yichen, who do you think is better looking?”
Su Yichen’s eyes moved slightly. He noticed that Zhang Zhe had been staring at Shen Ran. Shen Ran was tall; it seemed Zhang Zhe preferred that type.
“They each have their own merits. Tong Ya is quite cute, Luo Yueli is pure and beautiful, and Shen Ran has the best figure.”
“I’m short, so I like girls like Tong Ya. But for a sunny and tall guy like you, Brother Zhe—Tong Ya and Luo Yueli fall a bit short. Only Shen Ran’s height and figure are worthy of you.”
‘Brother Yichen really knows how to talk,’ Zhang Zhe thought. He did indeed like Shen Ran’s figure and would glance at her from time to time—mainly at those long legs.
Listening to Su Yichen, Zhang Zhe felt they were a perfect match the more he looked at her.
“Brother Yichen, great minds think alike! Which dorm are you in?”
“305.”
“Such a coincidence? I’m in 306. If you have any trouble, come find me there. I’ll help you!”
“Sure thing, Brother Zhe.”
After chatting casually with Zhang Zhe for a few more minutes, Su Yichen returned to his small corner.
Surprisingly, not even one of them was a target.
After realizing the four girls from the beauty dorm were not his mission targets, Su Yichen immediately lost interest in them.
An SSS-rank Void Realm would not be that easy to clear. It seemed he would have to wait until the orientation meeting ended and get his hands on the freshman roster to check further.
Thinking this, Su Yichen simply found a seat, grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the box at his feet, unscrewed it, and took a sip.
