"Congratulations, Host, for completing the random task. You have been rewarded with three hundred achievement points."
At that moment, Du Wanrou arrived, her delicate face bearing a faint smile as she walked into the classroom with her backpack.
Qin Hao couldn't help but look up, and the more he looked, the more he found Du Wanrou charming and alluring, like a flower yet to bloom on her chest.
Just before the class started, Yuan Zhengxiang and Song Wei entered the classroom.
Honestly, Qin Hao had felt some envy towards Yuan Zhengxiang before, because not only was his family wealthy, but he also excelled in his studies.
However, now Qin Hao no longer held that envy in his heart, having the system meant it would soon be others envying him.
Du Wanrou sat at her desk, took out her revision materials, and started to read them earnestly.
Qin Hao glanced at his side task; writing a love letter to Du Wanrou was still incomplete.
He also noted that his calligraphy skill was still at level zero, but his achievement points had reached nine hundred. He spent six hundred achievement points to upgrade his calligraphy skill to level 2 without hesitation.
After all, it was his first time writing a love letter to a beautiful girl, and attractive handwriting would undoubtedly make a good impression.
He took out the colorful stationery he had prepared in advance, took a deep breath, and began to write.
A one-thousand-word love letter was still quite a challenge for him; he started with the very first moment he had seen Du Wanrou.
As the graceful and flowing handwriting appeared on the page, even Qin Hao was stunned. Did I really write this?
After more than half an hour, Qin Hao finally finished the love letter, which was well over a thousand words.
He carefully folded the love letter and sneaked a glance at Du Wanrou, relieved to see her engrossed in her studies.
Little did he know that while he was focused on writing the love letter, Du Wanrou had stolen several looks at him.
She was curious about what he was writing on that colored paper. Could it be a love letter for someone?
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but take a few more peeks. When she saw Qin Hao was nearly done, she quickly pretended to be diligently studying.
After finishing, Qin Hao carefully put the letter away, planning to give it to Du Wanrou after school at noon.
He spent the entire morning reviewing, and before he knew it, time had passed by.
When the noon school bell rang, those in the class who were going to have lunch left, leaving only a few people still in the classroom.
Seizing the moment when no one was paying attention, Qin Hao quickly placed the love letter on Du Wanrou's desk.
Then he walked quickly out of the classroom, under Du Wanrou's astonished gaze.
Once out of the classroom, Qin Hao let out a long sigh of relief and headed to the school cafeteria.
Looking at the letter on her desk, Du Wanrou wore a surprised expression. Did he write this for me? What did he write? Should I read it?
Under the influence of various impulses, Du Wanrou eventually and slowly opened the letter.
The first thing that caught her eye was the graceful, effortless handwriting.
Even Du Wanrou had to admit to herself how beautiful the handwriting was; she had never seen such elegant writing before, especially not from a black carbon pen.
The strokes were robust and graceful, as natural as if they had been penned by a master calligrapher.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that Qin Hao, known for his poor academic performance, had written it.
She now felt that Qin Hao was becoming more and more mysterious by the day, with his exceptional prowess and master-like handwriting.
And that newfound confidence he exhibited, what exactly had happened to him?
After reading the content, Du Wanrou's cheeks turned slightly red. Indeed, it was a love letter. She had received far too many during her three years of high school.
However, she had thrown away all of those without reading them.
...
"Congratulations, Host, for completing the side task. You have been awarded 100 achievement points."
In the school canteen
Qin Hao heard the system's voice and knew Du Wanrou must have finished reading the love letter.
As he ate his lunch, he wondered how Du Wanrou would reply to him.
Reject? Agree? Or ignore?
As he pondered, someone with a tray of food sat down opposite him, "Lost in thought? What's so captivating?"
Qin Hao looked up and was startled to see Chen Shuna sitting across from him, a bit stunned, "No... nothing."
Seeing his reaction, Chen Shuna laughed, "Why? Are you surprised to see me sitting here?"
Qin Hao, "Of course, Chen, you have never eaten with me before."
Chen Shuna surveyed him carefully as she ate, "I think you've changed a lot from before, like you're a different person."
On hearing this, Qin Hao's heart tightened; this wasn't good news for him. The system was a secret to him, a secret that no one else could know.
He didn't want to end up on an autopsy table as a lab rat for experiments.
Qin Hao's face maintained a natural smile, "If you had gone through what I have, perhaps you would act the same, either dying in cowardice or erupting out of it, and I belong to the latter."
Chen Shuna paused at his words, finding there was some sense to them.
While they spoke, a guy with his meal sat directly beside Qin Hao.
Both Qin Hao and Chen Shuna frowned slightly, and Chen Shuna asked the newcomer, "Lv GuiBo, what do you want?"
Lv GuiBo with an unruly expression retorted, "Nothing, can't I eat here?"
Qin Hao had heard of Lv GuiBo, a student from Class Seven well-known at Changle Second Middle School, constantly pursuing Chen Shuna.
There had been someone who tried to woo Chen Shuna before, but it was said they were severely dealt with by Lv GuiBo.
Qin Hao finished his meal and said, "You guys talk. I'm taking off first."
No sooner had he exited through the canteen's back door than he was stopped by several men, seven in total.
Liu Wei, Yu Da, and Wang Fei were among them; Qin Hao understood what was happening immediately upon seeing the scene.
Liu Wei was out for revenge.
Qin Hao looked at Liu Wei with a sneer, "It seems you haven't learned your lesson."
Liu Wei cursed, "Quit your damn posturing in front of me. I'm going to teach you a lesson this noon."
Just then, Lv GuiBo came walking out of the canteen. He glanced over and said, "Take him to the back."
Liu Wei obediently called out, "Yes, Bo."
Qin Hao showed no fear; if he didn't want to be bullied in the future, he had to establish his might and show these people how formidable he was to keep them from provoking him.
He followed them to the back of the canteen, where some onlookers had gathered for the spectacle.
Lv GuiBo made no move to disperse the crowd; he wanted them to realize his toughness, to bolster his reputation at Changle Second Middle School.
Lv GuiBo addressed Qin Hao, "Liu Wei, Yu Da, and Wang Fei are my brothers. Since you beat up my brothers, don't you think you owe me an explanation?"
Qin Hao glanced at him, responding lightly, "Give you an explanation? Who the hell are you?"
The onlookers were stunned at this retort: Brother, at a time like this, you still talk tough? Aren't you just asking for it? Now if you called him 'Bro' a few times, offered a few soft words, maybe they'd go a little easier on you.
Someone murmured under their breath: This guy just can't lose face even when he's suffering. Just you watch, he's going to get beaten up badly in a moment.
