In practice, I can issue tasks to my master.

So... it's popularity?

Probably.

Since these characters appeared early in the story, and the factional struggles in the novel "Classroom of the Three Kingdoms" are mostly centered around them, how could they not be popular?

But if we filter by popularity, wouldn't we lose a lot of high-quality hot pot restaurants?

Leader, you can't be so short-sighted!

[Insufficient permissions, please upgrade your level as soon as possible]

"I understand what you mean."

Nangong Cheng was just complaining, because even with a large number of people, he could only issue three tasks a day, which was simply not enough.

Let's think about how to use today's last task attempt. Should we find the third little fat sheep, or continue to choose between Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyo?

"I hereby declare this year's opening ceremony adjourned..."

The time for reflection passed in the blink of an eye, and the opening ceremony finally came to an end.

The students from the four classes began to leave.

Nangong Cheng still chose to walk at the back of the crowd, and then glanced at Horikita Suzune in the crowd without making a sound.

Now that he has given Horikita Suzune two tasks in a row, he has aroused the girl's suspicion. Although Horikita Suzune is absolutely unable to find any evidence that he is the mastermind, it is not appropriate to provoke her any further.

As for Kikyo Kushida...

As long as he makes more contact with Horikita Suzune on the surface, this Horikita Suzune fan will definitely take the initiative to come to him, so there's no need for him to go out of his way to make contact.

[Additional Note: The owner of the subsystem will not be aware of the existence of the main system, and will regard the host as a community with a shared destiny. Therefore, the host can confidently issue tasks related to themselves.]

Oh my god, why didn't you say so earlier!

Adhering to the principle of "if you doubt the system, don't use it; if you use the system, don't doubt it," Nangong Cheng directly chose to believe it.

Since that's the case, let's choose a new "little fat sheep" to fleece for our last task today.

The question is, who should we choose?

Considering that it's easy to get in touch with someone, it's best to choose one from within Class D.

Sakura Airi has a gentle and easy-going personality, and Karuizawa Megumi, who is pretending to be a gyaru (a type of Japanese girl), is also eager to find a fake boyfriend to protect her.

Both are high-quality Little Sheep hot pot.

But if it's a choice between two...

"I've decided on you, Karuizawa Megumi."

Volume 1: 6. Karuizawa Megumi's Spring

Karuizawa Kei, a teenage girl who should have had a normal youth, experienced a very embarrassing period of school bullying during her junior high school years.

Not only were indelible scars left on his body, but he also developed PTSD-like psychological trauma, so it's no exaggeration to say that his life was ruined.

Because she is now filled with the fear that someone will bully and humiliate her, the idea of ​​seeking out a strong person to parasitize has taken root in her subconscious.

Even though she has now enrolled in a highly educated institution, even though she has learned to feign strength, even though no one in this school knows her past, and even though she could start a new life, her past experiences and psychological trauma still led her to choose a path of survival that parasitizes the strong.

"Karuizawa-san, shall we go shopping together?"

"Karuizawa-kun, want to have dinner together later?"

"Karuizawa-san..."

Karuizawa Kei, who is on the verge of becoming the core of a small girls' group, is actually in a pretty good mood right now, after all, the changes she has made have yielded visible results.

However, Horikita Suzune's question during the class meeting made her feel somewhat depressed.

Why is the teacher unwilling to answer?

Is there something wrong with this school?

She wanted to ask, but didn't dare, and in the end could only go with the flow, hoping that "the law will not punish the masses."

"But we don't know if we'll have 10 points next month, so I think it's better to be careful with money in the first month."

This is the kind of thing she should say.

But fearing that the little "prestige" they had just built up in the group would vanish because of these words, they ultimately chose to remain silent.

As Karuizawa Kei watched her personal points on the student terminal slowly decrease with each shopping trip, her unease began to build. Meanwhile, the other girls seemed to be indulging in the pleasure of spending recklessly, with some even suggesting going to karaoke that night.

Karuizawa Kei wanted to refuse, but if she didn't participate in this kind of event, she would basically be considered to be out of touch and isolated.

I was just about to grit my teeth and agree—

"Excuse me for bothering you..."

"Excuse me, are you Karuizawa-san?"

The person who came was naturally Nangong Cheng.

He had been following Karuizawa Kei and her entourage ever since the opening ceremony, waiting for the right moment to make his appearance.

"Nangong, is there something you need?"

Because Karuizawa Kei was looking for a reliable guy to protect her, the handsome and charismatic Namiya Makoto naturally caught her attention.

Now that the other party has taken the initiative to contact her, does that mean he is also interested in her?

Hmm... if that's the case, I'm a little worried that the other person might be the playboy type.

Okay, let's hear what he has to say first.

"Well, there's a saying in my hometown: 'New look, new atmosphere.' Now that I'm in high school, I want to make some changes to my appearance."

Following his prepared statement, Nangong Cheng said, "But I've never been good at dressing, so I'd like to ask Karuizawa-san and your friend for a favor and help me choose an outfit."

"As a token of my gratitude, and since it's almost noon, I'll treat you to lunch."

After saying that, he directly issued a task to Karuizawa Kei based on this request.

Karuizawa Kei wanted to agree after hearing this.

This way, you can avoid incurring additional expenses and get a free meal, all you have to do is ask her to help you put together an outfit for a boy.

She could even use this opportunity to have more contact with Nangong Cheng, so she could decide whether to choose him as her protector.

But just as she was about to speak, a light blue, semi-transparent panel suddenly appeared in her field of vision.

[Ding, Perfect Life System is being bound...]

[Current Task: Grant Nangong Cheng's request and help him choose an outfit.]

[You will receive points upon completing the task, which can be redeemed for items in the exchange shop.]

[Failure to complete the mission will result in punishment: You will be forced to ask Nangong Cheng to become your master in front of your friends.]

Karuizawa Kei was momentarily stunned.

What is this?

Is it a hallucination?

"Karuizawa-san? What do you think?"

She heard Sato Maya and the others asking her questions, which made Karuizawa Megumi realize that they seemed unable to see the semi-transparent panel in front of her.

"Sure, it's not a big deal, and I get a free meal too."

Since she wasn't planning to refuse anyway, she figured she might as well agree and see what this so-called system was all about.

"Nangong, are you going to have to spend some money?"

"Please, ladies, have some decency in your words!"

Although Nangong Cheng didn't interact much with women in his previous life, he still knew basic conversation skills. In addition, he was facing a relatively innocent high school girl, which gave him a psychological advantage.

The group arrived at the clothing store.

Karuizawa and her group had just come out of the clothing store, but this time they came for the second time because of Nangong Cheng.

"Does Nangong have a preferred style?"

"No, as long as it's not too flashy."

After confirming the person's opinion, Karuizawa Megumi and her small group picked out clothes for Nangong Cheng.

Although they mainly study women's clothing, the same principle applies to dressing. After all, they've seen handsome men before, so surely they can copy answers, right?

soon.

Nangong Cheng had a large pile of clothes in his hands.

"That's all, give it a try."

Urged on, Nangong Cheng entered the fitting room.

The old saying is indeed true.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and a good-looking person combined with decent outfits easily achieves a visual effect of 1+1>2.

Nangong Cheng was quite satisfied with this.

"Thank you so much for your help, ladies. I'll treat you all to whatever you like to eat later."

Karuizawa Megumi and the others were also very happy.

Besides getting a free meal, they also got to enjoy a fashion show featuring handsome Tokyo men, making it a worthwhile experience and even a huge win.

She wanted to say something, but the pale blue, semi-transparent panel popped up in front of her again.

[Task Completed]

[Mission Reward: Host receives 100 points]

[The system's redemption shop is now open]

System Redemption Shop?

What is this thing?

The moment the thought flashed through Karuizawa Megumi's mind, the screen in front of her changed, and a dazzling array of products appeared before her.

[Youth Preservation Pill: After consumption, your appearance will be frozen at its peak. Required points: 100000]

[Perfect Shaping Liquid: Repairs all body imperfections, sculpting a perfectly proportioned figure. Required points: 5000]

[Flawless Skin Cream: Eliminates all scars, acne marks, and blemishes for flawless skin. Redemption points: 1000]

……

The rows and rows of items are all extremely tempting to women.

Of course, there were other types of items as well, but Karuizawa Kei's gaze was fixed on the product called "Flawless Skin Cream".

1000 points!

With just 1000 points, could she remove the indelible scar on her body?

Karuizawa Kei was somewhat incredulous.

Is all of this real? Or is it all just a hallucination caused by excessive mental stress?

However, proving that this is true is also very simple.

Karuizawa Megumi quickly identified something she could just afford to redeem at the moment—

[Cash Exchange: 1 point = 1000 yen/points]

[Note: The cash will not be deposited out of thin air, but will be given in a completely reasonable and justifiable way.]

"If it's true, don't disappoint me..." Karuizawa Kei murmured as she clicked the redemption button, immediately investing all 100 points she had just received.

The moment she clicked to confirm the redemption, her phone in her pocket vibrated.

Could it be that……

Karuizawa Kei swallowed hard, casually taking out her phone from her pocket, and then saw a text message with a note indicating a money transfer—

Congratulations on being the first new student to enter our store! In accordance with the event rules, we are pleased to present you with a welcome gift package containing 10 personal points.
