Although everyone said they wouldn't sleep that night, after the excitement died down in the middle of the night, they were all so tired that they started snoring around two or three in the morning.
The next morning.
Wang Yue woke up from his sleep and found that these guys were still sound asleep.
"Congratulations on achieving: Graduation."
"You, a nobody in your previous life, began a downward spiral after graduation, as if your most glorious moments were all left in high school. But in this life, your glory will not fall, only soar."
"Reward Attribute Points *5, Random Event Card (Good Luck) *1, Show-off Card *1."
Seeing these rewards, Wang Yue's spirits immediately lifted.
He hadn't expected there to be such benefits for graduation.
He calculated that his birthday was also approaching.
By then, he would be a true adult.
So, Wang Yue shamelessly said, "System, will there be a coming-of-age ceremony for me when I become an adult?"
System: "..."
Seeing that the system was ignoring him again, Wang Yue chuckled, "A generous system like you shouldn't fail to give me a coming-of-age gift. Actually, my demands aren't high; a villa or a sports car would suffice. Don't call me shallow, because I am indeed that shallow."
System: "..."
Wang Yue began to examine the two new items.
He was quite curious about the Show-off Card.
He wondered what this thing could do. Could it turn me into a god of showing off?
"Random Event Card (Good Luck): After use, you can randomly encounter an event that is very beneficial to you."
"Show-off Card: After use, you can obtain a show-off skill with a limit of ten uses. Showing off is like the wind, always with me."
Seeing these two items.
Wang Yue's curiosity was piqued.
He used the Show-off Card first.
He wanted to see what kind of show-off skill he would get.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Prophet. What you say to others will happen ten seconds later. It cannot change natural factors like weather or disasters, but for matters with minor real-world impact, such as making someone run naked on the spot, it can be achieved."
Seeing this skill.
Wang Yue's eyes lit up. This was indeed a rather convenient show-off skill.
So, could he predict winning a hundred million lottery?
He acted on the thought.
"I will win a hundred million soon!"
Wang Yue said.
After ten seconds, nothing happened. He glanced at the system panel and found that the number of uses had not decreased.
"Okay, it seems it really doesn't work."
Wang Yue said with a hint of regret.
However, he soon noticed that one of the conditions was about saying something to others. If he talked to himself, it definitely wouldn't have any effect.
With this thought, Wang Yue immediately jumped out of bed and shook Hu Qianhao awake.
"Brother Yue, good morning. Why are you calling me up so early?" Hu Qianhao said sleepily.
"Haozi, I won ten hundred million in the lottery!" Wang Yue said with great seriousness.
"What?"
Hu Qianhao was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Stop bragging, Brother Yue! The grand prizes for lotteries are all fixed. There's no way you could win."
After ten seconds, Wang Yue found that the number of uses still hadn't decreased, confirming that the skill couldn't predict overly outrageous things.
"Even you can't be fooled by this."
Wang Yue sighed, then suddenly said, "Actually, Sister Xia likes you. She's going to confess to you."
"Pfft."
Hu Qianhao, like a turtle in a shell, couldn't help but laugh.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could Sister Xia like me? We barely even talk... Besides, the person I like is not..."
Before Hu Qianhao could finish speaking, his phone rang. He picked it up with a look of disbelief. "Sister Xia is calling me!"
He glanced at Wang Yue suspiciously, wondering if Brother Yue and Sister Xia were colluding to trick him.
Wang Yue remained calm, but he saw that his system panel had decreased by one use of the skill. He thought to himself that such small matters could indeed be realized.
Since Li Hongxia and Hu Qianhao later got married, perhaps they had already developed feelings for each other secretly, but hadn't realized it yet.
Hu Qianhao answered the phone. Li Hongxia's voice came from the other end: "Hu Qianhao, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
Hu Qianhao felt guilty. It was the first time in his eighteen years that a girl had actively sought him out. Could he really be about to be confessed to?
"Um, I like you. Let's be together." Li Hongxia stammered.
"Ah?!"
Hu Qianhao was dumbfounded. Although he was beginning to believe Wang Yue, when the moment actually arrived, he was still stunned.
Thinking about his past interactions with Li Hongxia, Hu Qianhao hesitated. He liked An Ran, so how could he let Sister Xia disrupt his Dao heart!
With this thought, Hu Qianhao was about to refuse.
However, the words wouldn't come out. He had confessed to seventeen girls in his eighteen years, and all of them had rejected him.
The pain of rejection was like a nightmare, tormenting him every night.
Sister Xia, such a shy person, would be very sad if I rejected her.
I was once a dragon slayer; how could I become the dragon?
With this thought, Hu Qianhao decided not to be so direct.
So, he said, "Sister Xia, I'm actually not planning to date right now. How about we get to know each other better?"
Li Hongxia on the other end said, "Are you politely rejecting me? If so, just tell me directly. I can accept it."
Hu Qianhao panicked.
He quickly said, "No, no, no, I'm not rejecting you, I'm just..."
Li Hongxia said again, "Then you agree?"
Hu Qianhao was confused: "No, no, no, I'm not agreeing either, I'm just..."
Li Hongxia: "Just what? Why are you being so indecisive, man? If you agree, say yes. If you don't, say no. Anyway, I've laid my cards on the table. I like you, and I want to be with you. What about you?"
Wang Yue, listening from the side, clicked his tongue.
He hadn't expected Li Hongxia, who seemed quiet and reserved, to be so bold in private.
This made Wang Yue somewhat believe that Hu Qianhao's claim in his previous life that Li Hongxia had pursued him was true.
"Sister Xia, what I mean is, I still want to consider it." Hu Qianhao said somewhat awkwardly.
"Got it."
After speaking, Li Hongxia hung up.
Hu Qianhao breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Wang Yue with a wry smile, "Brother Yue, I finally understand what it feels like to be pursued by a girl. It's a bit overwhelming."
"What's overwhelming about it? Listen to me, hurry up and get together with Sister Xia. You'll save yourself more than ten years of detours. You two are destined to be together." Wang Yue said.
Hu Qianhao shook his head and said, "Brother Yue, you shouldn't be meddling in other people's affairs. My heart and body belong to An Ran. I will remain chaste for her! I'm sorry, Sister Xia, though your infatuation is sincere, alas, it is like a bright moon shining on a ditch."
