Villain: He humiliated the protagonist's sister, but she fell in love with him.

Gu Zhi Qiu's smile froze, and he looked utterly exasperated.

Ji Chen was shocked!

I meant to say the most beautiful, how did it turn into the ugliest!

He quickly waved his hand, trying to explain:

"Teacher, that's not what I meant. I misspoke. I just wanted to say that you are beautiful, gentle, generous, and responsible..."

However, when the word-reversal card is used, the result is:

"Teacher, that's exactly what I meant. I was right. I just wanted to say you're ugly, short-tempered, mean, and irresponsible..."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Ji Chen felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Every word he uttered was completely different from what he was thinking.

He was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead, but no matter how hard he tried to correct himself, the words that kept coming out were more and more outrageous.

The students below the stage looked at each other, then involuntarily frowned, their eyes filled with doubt and dissatisfaction as they looked at Gu Zhi Qiu.

The effects of the credibility halo are taking hold.

So even though these words were utterly absurd, they found themselves unconsciously believing them to some extent the moment they heard them.

Of course, this excludes Lin Ba, who has a system in place to protect him.

Some of them even whispered among themselves:

"I hope he's not the kind of teacher who seems gentle on the surface but is actually mean-spirited."

Gu Zhi Qiu's face had turned somewhat pale.

This was her first time being a counselor, and she was somewhat at a loss when she encountered this situation.

She took a deep breath and, forcing back her anger, said:

"Ji Chen, I don't recall ever offending you, do I? Why are you humiliating me like this?"

Ji Chen was frantic, almost going crazy. He opened his mouth to say "I didn't," but the voice that came out was completely different once again:

"So what if I humiliate you!"

Seeing that his words were once again out of control, he was on the verge of a breakdown, and he cursed the system in his mind:

"You dog system, are you kidding me? This is a load of bullshock regarding credibility! You son of a bitch!"

[Sorry, host, I don't have Feng.]

Ji Chen was unable to refute this for a moment.

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with this halo?"

【no problem.】

Inside the classroom, the skeptical gazes that had just been fixed on the students now turned into unfriendly scrutiny.

The power of the aura of trust led many freshmen to subconsciously side with Ji Chen.

Faced with so many questioning gazes, Gu Zhi Qiu's eyes reddened slightly, but she bit her lip to suppress those emotions.

She didn't understand why Ji Chen was targeting her for no reason.

She didn't understand why so many classmates looked at her with distrust.

Is she really that ugly, that people hate her so much?

For a moment, Gu Zhi Qiu was plunged into deep self-doubt...

[Ding! Host has humiliated Gu Zhi Qiu. Congratulations on obtaining 10 Trust Cards!]

[This product significantly enhances the persuasiveness of your arguments, but statements that defy common sense will still fail to convince others. The effect lasts for one day!]

[Note: The effects can be reversed at any time.]

At the same time, Lin Ba, who was watching the show, was stunned for a moment.

I never thought this could be considered a humiliation on his part.

Lin Ba decisively used a trust card, the recipient of which was himself.

It's time for him to step in and experience what it's like to show off.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Ji Chen, I really don't know where you get your manners from, you're just spewing nonsense like a hater."

"From the moment Ms. Gu entered the classroom until now, she has been polite to everyone. Does she deserve to be humiliated by you for no reason?"

"And some of you, think about it: someone who dares to run naked in public might have some kind of mental problem. Do you really believe what he says?"

Lin Ba crossed his arms and began to berate Ji Chen without any politeness.

"Exactly! Teacher Gu is so beautiful, and you still insist that she's ugly. It's disgusting."

When Su Yuqing, who was standing next to him, saw her boyfriend start a group buy, she also followed with a single click.

Her impression of Ji Chen also dropped significantly.

Their words were righteous and eloquent, bringing many students back to their senses.

"That's true..."

"I almost believed it just now... Luckily, Young Master Lin reminded me."

"Exactly, what credible things would a mentally unstable person say?"

The students who had just questioned Gu Zhi Qiu felt ashamed.

What kind of bad person could such a gentle and beautiful counselor be?

At this moment, Gu Zhi Qiu also looked at Lin Ba and Su Yu Qing with gratitude.

It was only because the two of them stood up for her, especially Lin Ba, who was the first to stand up for her.

This boosted her confidence as a first-time counselor, and warmed her heart.

She rubbed her slightly reddened eyes, nodded gently in their direction, and silently said thank you.

Ji Chen also noticed Gu Zhi Qiu's gaze towards Lin Ba, and he was somewhat exasperated.

He had unwittingly helped Lin Ba achieve his goal.

Gan!

He hurriedly tried to refute, intending to angrily rebuke, "Lin Ba, what nonsense are you spouting!"

But the words that came out of his mouth turned into:

"Lin Ba, you're right, I was just talking nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, the students below the stage all looked at Ji Chen with disgust.

Gu Zhi Qiu's tone also turned cold:

"That's enough, Ji Chen! Get out of here!"

Ji Chen opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but he felt it was a problem with the halo, and that continuing to argue would only make things more awkward, so he reluctantly walked back to his seat.

[Ding! Host has humiliated Ji Chen. Congratulations on obtaining Ji Chen's Lamborghini!]

The vehicle's registered owner has been changed to Lin Ba, and the car keys have been placed with...

Lin Ba looked at the system's rewards and was momentarily speechless.

It's incredibly sinister.

Now Lin Ba felt that it would be extremely difficult for Ji Chen to gain any more "cool points".

Lin Ba took out his phone and sent a text message, telling An Yi to go and drive the car away.

As one student after another went up on stage to introduce themselves, the class meeting quickly came to an end.

After class, Lin Ba was taking Su Yuqing to the cafeteria for lunch when a soft, delicate female voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Junior students, please wait a moment."

Lin Ba and Su Yuqing turned around together and saw Gu Zhi Qiu walking over quickly, her eyebrows and eyes gentle, and a faint smile on her lips.

"I'm so grateful to you all for helping me out of that awkward situation during the class meeting earlier. I'll remember that. How about I treat you all to lunch as a way of thanking you? Would you do me the honor?"

Su Yuqing was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at Lin Ba beside her.

Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi added softly:

"Don't be so polite with me."

Name: Gu Zhi Qiu

Age: 22

【Height: 170】

Appearance rating: 93

Body type: C

[Special: 0]

【Favourability: 45】

Lin Ba nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"Okay! Thank you, counselor."

When the other students saw the pretty senior student offer to treat them to a meal, they were filled with regret, wishing they had stepped forward earlier!

As for Ji Chen, he was extremely jealous and resentful.

He had just been cursing the system in his mind.

But the system was practically a personal computer, only able to blankly repeat the three words "no problem," which annoyed him.

Before leaving, Lin Ba didn't forget to retract the effect of the Words-Twisting Card.

He figured Ji Chen wasn't that stupid; he'd realize something was wrong soon enough. He figured if he pulled back now, he could use that information to his advantage later...
