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

Chapter 80 Disappointment
If the relationship between Song Qing and Zhu Yu was too much like that of "men and women in love," then the relationship between Wu You and Shu He was a bit too "pure," as they dared not cross any boundaries when they were together.

When normal people want to be in a relationship, they usually start by making some contact to confirm the possibility of taking things further. Then, they use intimate physical actions or words to create an ambiguous relationship, and finally, they naturally get together.

For them, confessing their feelings is like a "finishing move" in a game; the damage has already been maximized, and the relationship naturally changes in the end.

Some boys and girls who have never been in a relationship are too timid or too conservative in love, and dare not do anything beyond their current status.

For example, they believe that friends should not hug. So, before becoming lovers, even if they have the urge to hug, and even if the atmosphere is perfect for them to hug, they will try their best to restrain this urge, for fear that their impulsiveness will cause dissatisfaction in the other person and thus damage their relationship.

In fact, some seemingly "impulsive" behaviors in a relationship do not lead to dissatisfaction from the other person. On the contrary, they can create a certain ambiguous atmosphere and help each other to better advance the relationship.

Chen Yan did not think that Wu You's view on love was bad. In fact, decades ago, most people used this model from dating to marriage.

However, in today's fast-paced world, this playstyle from the previous version is no longer suitable.

If a normal person's confession is a declaration of impending victory, then these people's confessions are more like a battle cry; the difference is obvious.

If relationships between men and women are likened to playing video games, Wu You is often the kind of player who thinks, "I'd rather do nothing than make a mistake."

……

After the lunch barbecue, everyone started having fun in various parts of the party venue.

For example, Zhu Yu and her partner were having a great time playing billiards in the pool room, while Jiang Lei was deeply immersed in the game world in the e-sports room.

Chen Yan was initially interested in the arcade, but just as he was about to leave, Tian Jingyi stopped him and he stayed in the lobby with the other four people.

"One, two, three, four, plus me, that makes five people, just right for us to play." Han Su looked around and nodded in satisfaction, then pulled out a board game from under the table.

"Ta-da! Look what I found!" Han Su showed off her find like a treasure hunter who had found a gold mine. "A super Monopoly game that combines Werewolf, Truth or Dare, and some content that is not suitable for children."

As Han Su spread out the board game map, she said, "The five of us can play together."

Looking at this obviously pirated Monopoly, a slightly absurd idea suddenly popped into Chen Yan's mind.

"If the official companies behind Werewolf, Truth or Dare, and Monopoly saw this, I wonder how much money they'd have to pay in compensation."

……

Soon, the five of them began this novel game.

Chen Yan took a closer look at the map and found that it was actually no different from a regular Monopoly game, except that some of the content in some locations had been changed, becoming something like "draw a card from the Adventure Cards and satisfy the card's content".

Regardless, Chen Yan was still somewhat interested in this modified version of Monopoly, so he patiently started playing it.

Soon, the five of them took their seats. Chen Yan and Tian Jingyi sat side by side on the east side of the map, Shu He and Wu You sat on the west side of the map, and Han Su sat alone on the north side of the map.

……

As the game progressed, nothing unusual happened at first, until Wu You's piece stepped on a trap set by Han Su in the previous round. "Whoosh!" Han Su cheered, "Wu You, this is the trap I set in the previous round. According to the rules, I can give you a Truth or Dare card."

"Okay, let's go." Wu You nodded, appearing to accept the offer readily, until...

"Wu You, please name five good qualities of your girlfriend." Han Su was somewhat annoyed, after all, this card was relatively simple among all the truth-or-dare cards, unlike some of the more exciting ones...

"This is too easy," Han Su complained, but she didn't intend to cheat. She casually said, "Wu You, Hehe is so great, you can't even name five good points, can you?"

'This is a total freebie.' Chen Yan is extremely experienced with these kinds of questions; he could practically come up with a formula for answering them.

Don't be too vague; it's best to combine your points with real-world examples.

However, for some reason, Chen Yan had a premonition that Wu You, this "honest man," might give some rather unconventional answers, so he watched the two of them with great interest.

Then he noticed that both of them seemed a little nervous.

Shu He was nervous but also looked on with a hint of anticipation. She was clearly eager to know what kind of answer Wu You would give. She lowered her head somewhat awkwardly when she noticed Wu You looking at her.

Seeing Shu He's expression, Wu You was unsure what kind of answer she hoped he would give. After hesitating for a moment, the idea that "it's better to do nothing than to make a mistake" once again took hold.

Having spent so much time together, even though he had been relying on this idea, their relationship was constantly warming up... This greatly increased Wu You's dependence on this path, while at the same time making him afraid to take any additional risks.

"Sister Han Su, Shu He and I aren't a couple yet, why don't you get a different card?"

As soon as he said that, Chen Yan immediately noticed a clear look of frustration on Shu He's face, who was sitting diagonally opposite him.

As for him, he was also taken aback by Wu You's answer.

Dude, there were eight of us, three couples. What do you think the girls brought you here for? Did you really think you were just here to freeload?

Han Su didn't expect Wu You to give such an answer... She could see that the relationship between Wu You and Shu He was almost there, and all it took was a trigger to bring about a qualitative change.

But just when she had finally created this opportunity, Wu You kicked it away.

"Whatever, I don't care anymore." Han Su took a deep breath, put the truth card aside, and casually said, "Forget it, let's just keep playing."

Han Su's attitude made Wu You's heart skip a beat. She looked up at Chen Yan and Tian Jingyi, only to find that the two of them were looking at the map by themselves.

He turned to look at Shu He, but Shu He also had her head down, her long, black hair obscuring her face and preventing Wu You from seeing her expression.

"It must be my imagination... What if Shu He thought I was frivolous if I had actually said it? She's so conservative, she probably wouldn't like frivolous people."

Wu You comforted himself and forced himself to focus on the game.
