I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 132 I, Chen Yan, am definitely not that kind of person!

Compared to the carefree attitude of the students in the back row, Chen Yan seemed to be "in jail." Fortunately, Shen Shulan's talk wasn't too boring, so Chen Yan was mostly in a state of "listening but not really listening."

Did you hear that? Yes, you did.

After about forty minutes, the etiquette lecture smoothly transitioned to the "handshake etiquette" section.

"In social handshakes, the person of higher status, elders, or clients usually extend their hand first; while the host should extend their hand to the guest first."

Shen Shulan stood on the podium and spoke eloquently. After explaining the first two situations, she posed a question.

"So, students, if it's between a boy and a girl, who should extend their hand first?"

Shen Shulan obviously didn't expect the group of people below who were just slacking off to get points to cooperate with her, so after pausing for a second, she gave the answer directly.

"In most cases, the woman extends her hand first between a man and a woman. If the woman does not extend her hand, the man only needs to nod and smile."

Chen Yan felt that this was the only thing he learned in the entire lecture... He would usually extend his hand when interacting with strangers.

Although he felt that most of the people who shook hands with him didn't know the proper handshake etiquette.

"After determining who shakes hands first, there are still some details that the other person needs to pay attention to during the handshake," Shen Shulan said, looking at the large group of students below the stage. "Next, I will randomly select a student to cooperate with me in the performance."

Although it's called random, there aren't actually many options available for Shen Shulan to choose from.

From the beginning, she planned to choose from the people in the first three rows. After all, starting from the fourth row, many people were playing on their phones. If she randomly picked someone and that person reached out their hand as soon as they came on stage, it would be a speech mishap.

There weren't many people sitting in the first three rows to begin with. After glancing around casually a few times, Shen Shulan's eyes met Chen Yan's.

Chen Yan had a vague premonition that he was about to be chosen...

He was no longer surprised by this situation. Ever since he used the [Shaping Capsules] and [Beauty Cream], his temperament and appearance had become so outstanding that he stood out from the crowd and easily caught people's attention at first glance.

Being noticed by the teacher at first glance during class means you're very likely to be chosen to answer a question.

In the days immediately after using the beauty cream, Chen Yan would sit with Shen Dong most of the time, and Shen Dong would usually help share the burden. However, since obtaining the skill [Pure Yang Body] and further enhancing his appearance, Shen Dong's ability to attract attention has greatly decreased.

as predicted……

“Then please come up on stage and cooperate with me.” Shen Shulan stretched out her hand towards Chen Yan’s position, making an “invitation” gesture.

'Luckily I heard that, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself if I had just reached out my hand when I went up there.' Chen Yan muttered to himself, then quickly walked up to the podium and stood about a step away from Shen Shulan.

"This student listened very attentively and remembered the three principles of extending one's hand that I just mentioned: between men and women, the woman should extend her hand first." As Shen Shulan spoke, she extended her hand with a perfectly timed smile on her face. "Hello."

"Hello, teacher." Chen Yan responded and reached out to shake Shen Shulan's hand.

The moment they shook hands, Shen Shulan's hand gave Chen Yan a soft yet slightly warm touch, and at the same time, Chen Yan thought of another question...

Since obtaining the [Pure Yang Body], he usually experiences some "special stimulation" when he has physical contact with women... Thinking of this, Chen Yan subtly observed Shen Shulan's expression.

Her face still held that perfectly timed smile, showing no sign of anything amiss... Chen Yan certainly didn't think it was because the [Pure Yang Body] had malfunctioned, so it could only be that the other party was good at disguising herself.

He guessed correctly; Shen Shulan was indeed a good at disguising herself.

The moment she grasped his hand, Shen Shulan felt her right hand enveloped in warmth, like the winter sun, so comforting it was almost irresistible. A subtle, tingling sensation then spread from her palm throughout her body; had she not been so self-controlled, her legs would likely have already begun to tremble.

Fortunately, Shen Shulan had extremely strong self-control. While enduring this comfortable and stimulating feeling, she continued to speak:
"There are a few details to pay attention to when shaking hands. First, unless there is a special reason, you should stand up and lean forward slightly when shaking hands."

The left hand should not be placed in the pocket; it should hang naturally or rest against the back or abdomen.

When shaking hands, look directly into the other person's eyes, smile, and shake the hand two or three times.

After saying that, Shen Shulan gently shook Chen Yan's hand three times, and then gently let go of his hand.

The moment she let go, the warmth vanished instantly, and with the departure of that stimulating sensation, Shen Shulan suddenly felt a sense of loss.

Of course, she quickly suppressed this feeling.

"Thank you for your cooperation, student. Next..."

Back in his seat, Chen Yan listened a little more attentively, but the lecture was already coming to an end.

Although the event was scheduled to last an hour, Shen Shulan finished her speech in just fifty minutes. After bowing to indicate that she was done, she left the classroom first.

Next, the student council members were responsible for the second sign-in.

After signing in, Chen Yan took advantage of being in the first row and quickly left the classroom.

This was the only advantage of the first class besides being convenient for listening to lectures... After leaving the classroom, Chen Yan headed towards Tian Jingyi's classroom, his mind wandering to all sorts of things.

From a young age, his thinking has been particularly divergent; he can connect questions like "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" to the existence of extraterrestrials...

This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that he often has abundant inspiration when creating, which is also the reason why he has achieved success in writing online novels... Of course, as the plot progresses and more and more content has been finalized, overly divergent thinking is no longer helpful. Instead, it often makes him think, "This book is no longer interesting, so I might as well start a new one."

As for the downsides, it's that unless he has a great interest or passion for something, it's hard for him to stay focused for long periods of time... In high school, he would be distracted for at least ten minutes of a forty-minute class, and sometimes he would spend most of the class daydreaming.

This resulted in his high school grades remaining at a level that was not bad, but he was never able to improve them. In the end, he was able to get into a non-985/211 university without any major setbacks.

And what he's thinking now is...

'Something's not right. The rewards the system gave me back then felt weird.' Chen Yan recalled the rewards the system had given him before and rearranged them.

'If I had simply walked away when Tian Jingyi invited me to play ball, I would have gained the [Enhanced Same-Sex Attraction].'

'After realizing Zheng Feng had become a gambling addict, she chose to persuade him to turn over a new leaf, thus acquiring master-level eloquence.'

'Regarding buying cats, I chose not to buy any, gaining the effect of [Emotional Weakness (Rationality)].'

After clarifying these points, Chen Yan rearranged the skill order.

'Same-sex attraction + eloquence + combat + rationality + emotional resonance + dream matching, then I'll first develop myself in a sneaky way until I'm around fifty years old, accumulate some capital through the system, and then...' After completing a new round of sorting, that feeling of something being wrong became even stronger.

"I remember this is the Male God System, right? System, what are you trying to do?!" Chen Yan was "shocked." The current version was really not suitable for this kind of gameplay. It was fine for him to just be a male god, but doing this kind of thing was unacceptable...

Since he had thought of the system rewards, Chen Yan suddenly remembered that when he chose to help Shen Dong sign in, he seemed to have received a reward as well.

Thinking this, Chen Yan quickly opened the system and found the reward.

【Name: Information】

[Type: disposable props]

[Description: After use, you will receive a piece of news that will happen in the future and be beneficial to you.]

"Wow, this is good stuff! I almost forgot about it if I hadn't suddenly remembered."

With that thought in mind, Chen Yan decisively chose to use it.

next second.

[At 9:43 PM on April 12th, Shen Shulan encountered an elderly man attempting to stage an accident in a blind spot of the surveillance cameras on Lingyun Road. Because her dashcam was broken, and she had drunk a small glass of alcohol two hours earlier and was unsure if the alcohol had completely worn off, she did not try to call the police, and was ultimately extorted by the elderly man.]

Although that amount of money was negligible to her, it still made her feel very bad.

Location: (Precise location map)

Chen Yan: "..."

Wasn't it supposed to be in his best interest? Why didn't he get any opportunities to make big money or trigger a mission? Why did he get a message about Shen Shulan instead?
Does the system think of me, Chen Yan, as the kind of person who is lecherous and obsessed with mature women?

'Wait, I think I am that kind of person.' Thinking this, Chen Yan, who had been mentally 'denouncing' the system, suddenly felt uncertain…

"Ahem, I'll forgive you this time, but don't do it again next time."

After silently trying to hide his thoughts, Chen Yan quickly quickened his pace and headed towards Tian Jingyi's classroom.

then……

[Since the host works in the live streaming industry, they can collaborate with clothing companies to generate profits... and Jinxiu Apparel, as an emerging company in the clothing industry, can serve as a very good stepping stone.]

[Having a good relationship with Shen Shulan will facilitate future cooperation with the host.]

Chen Yan: ┗|｀O′|┛

What's the meaning!
Why does this system only tell half the story and leave the other half unsaid?

……

As for whether or not to go over on the night of the 12th.

Just kidding, the road isn't far, and they've already sent out the exact location, so how could I waste this opportunity?

Tongzi has already said that building a good relationship with Shen Shulan will be beneficial for future cooperation with Jinxiu Apparel, so how can I just give up!
'It's definitely not because I'm lustful.'
