Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

Chen Nian wasn't on the list of award recipients, yet they still invited him...

How embarrassing!

At this point, the commendation ceremony had officially begun.

The female host, dressed in a red dress, picked up the list and announced loudly, "Next, please come up to the stage to receive your awards. Please give them a warm round of applause."

"Liu Xiao!"

"Ma Dahai!"

One by one, students walked up to the stage in the auditorium to receive flowers and certificates of commendation.

These people may not have made many contributions, but they have the courage to stand up, and that deserves applause and praise.

"Qin Yu!"

As her name was read aloud, Qin Yu, dressed in a pristine white dress, gracefully walked onto the stage. Her beautiful face and refined demeanor immediately made her the center of attention.

"Qin Yu demonstrated bravery and made significant contributions on the front lines. She is hereby awarded an honorary medal and a prize of 100,000 yuan. We hope that all students will take her as a role model!"

"Clap clap clap clap clap clap~~~"

The applause was thunderous.

"I never expected Qin Yu, who looks like a delicate girl, to be so fierce?"

"Dude, you're kidding! He's already in the nineties, higher than most of us, and he seems to be in the rare class 'Elemental Archer,' so his stats are way better than ours!"

"That's amazing... She's beautiful, sings beautifully, and is such a powerful superhuman—she's practically flawless!"

"The only downside is that she has a boyfriend. Wow, I'm so envious!"

Actually, the person I envy and am jealous of the most is Xia Wen.

Xia Wen, once the "campus belle" of Linhai University, now has almost no presence!

I can't compete in looks, I can't compete in figure, and I certainly can't compete in ability...

She was used to the spotlight shining on her, and now that she was invisible, she wished she were the one on stage.

"What's so great about it... It's just spending money to make yourself stronger, who knows who you'll end up sleeping with behind your back," Xia Wen muttered sourly.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Does Qin Yu have anything to say to everyone?" The host handed the microphone to Qin Yu:

"Then say a few words."

Qin Yu took the microphone: "Actually... I owe my growth to one person."

Her gaze fell on Chen Nian.

That's why she specially invited Chen Nian today.

Although meeting Chen Nian for the first time was quite an accident, I have to admit that he helped me a lot.

"The person I want to thank is Chen Nian."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gasp of surprise rang out from the audience!

Is this a public display of affection?

"My rare professional talent was given to me by Chen Nian. He also gave me excellent equipment and helped me level up. It is because of his help that I was able to make a contribution with my own strength."

"Oh~~~~~~"

All eyes were on Chen Nian.

No one expected that this guy would be such a big shot!

"He gave me that rare talent too? Wow, that stuff is incredibly valuable. He's really generous!"

"Wait a minute, Qin Yu's level is already very high, so isn't Chen Nian's level even higher? Could he already be a second-tier transcendent being?!"

"This guy is hiding his true abilities..."

Chen Nian was suddenly the center of attention, which surprised him.

He tried his best to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect this girl to pull such a stunt.

"Brother Chen Nian, when will you have time to take me along?"

"Brother, brother, I want to level up with you too, okay?"

As expected, it turned out this way...

Xia Wen almost broke down on the spot!

What?

Did Qin Yu receive all of these from Chen Nian?

How is that possible!

So, all of this should be mine... I should have been his girlfriend.

But now all these benefits have gone to other women...

She was so angry that her fingernails dug into her thigh flesh, a mix of emotions including regret, resentment, and jealousy.

The commendation ceremony continued.

Chen Nian has generated a great deal of anticipation; everyone is waiting for him to go on stage and see how the school will recognize him.

Unexpectedly, Chen Nian never appeared on stage, and the host never called his name.

"It's the last one, where's Chen Nian?"

"Yeah, he's so capable, he should have made significant contributions, so why didn't he even receive any recognition?"

Gradually, more and more people began to raise questions.

Even Qin Yu was puzzled. Why was Chen Nian overlooked? That shouldn't be the case.

Those male classmates who were already jealous of Chen Nian finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Ha, so all those honors were just hype from others?"

"They boasted so much, but in the end, they didn't even receive any recognition; instead, they created a clown."

"I wonder how skilled he really is. Maybe we should try him out later?"

Only then did Xia Wen feel at peace.

What she least wants to see is Chen Nian being outstanding; the more mediocre Chen Nian is, the happier she is.

"Chen Nian, what's going on?" Qin Yu asked.

"I didn't do anything that deserves to be reported or commended," Chen Nian shook his head.

"But......"

Before Qin Yu could say anything more, the doors to the auditorium suddenly opened!

A group of people dressed in neat law enforcement uniforms walked in, and the one leading them was Li Yunwei.

The students were all shocked.

"Isn't that Captain Li, the battlefield commander?!"

"What the hell is she doing at our school?!"

"She's so cool! To be honest, I was actually quite scared at first, but what she said inspired me!"

"She's probably the coolest female law enforcement officer in Linhai City. Wait, what's she holding in her hand?"

Upon seeing Li Yunwei and the others arrive, the principal hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

"Well, we came here mainly to commend Chen Nian, a student from your school."

"This is a banner specially awarded by the Headquarters of the Law Enforcement Bureau."

After saying this, the two subordinates unfurled the banner.

The red banner bore large gold lettering:

[Chen Nian's outstanding performance during the Blood Moon Calamity is hereby commended.]

"This...this?!"

The principal was so excited that he stammered on the spot.

"That's right, Comrade Chen Nian completed the secret mission assigned to us by our bureau, so we came here to express our gratitude."

"Alright, alright... I see. Thank you all for making this trip."

The principal was beaming from ear to ear. He hadn't expected Chen Nian to go on a secret mission. He had really brought honor to the school!

It truly lives up to its reputation as a prestigious university in Linhai City; it has never disappointed.

So he immediately took the banner to the podium and announced loudly, "All students, let's give Chen Nian a warm round of applause for his outstanding performance!"

This time, the applause was more enthusiastic than ever before!

"Wow... Chen Nian, you've been secretly up to something big!"

Qin Yu covered her mouth, both surprised and overjoyed.

Chen Nian: ......

He was truly speechless. He hadn't expected that these people were all so adept at handling things, making it impossible for him to keep a low profile even if he wanted to.

He had no choice but to go on stage to accept the banner.

Standing on the stage, Chen Nian basked in the fervent and adoring gazes of countless girls, becoming the sole focus under the spotlight.

Xia Wen couldn't stand it anymore.

It turned out that Chen Nian was far more outstanding, stronger, and more remarkable than she had imagined.

He is no longer the unknown otaku he once was, but a pioneer of the times.

"I'm going to the restroom." Xia Wen got up and left through the back door of the auditorium.

"Xiaowen, wait!" Her rich boyfriend followed closely behind.

Xia Wen had no idea what she was about to see...

The most terrifying scene of my life!
