[System: A temporary side quest has been issued due to detecting the host’s slacking tendencies. Learning is like sailing against the current—you either advance or fall back. The mind is like a horse galloping across a plain—easy to let loose, hard to rein in. Therefore, host, please do not neglect your studies.]
[No! System, you control everything under the heavens, but you’re going to control whether I study or not? Wasn’t completing the cultivation task enough? Why are you restricting my studies now!]
[System: If the host does not get into college, their father will send them to the countryside to raise pigs, and there will be no further opportunity to interact with the cultivatee. Therefore, for the host’s sake…]
[Wait, my dad is really going to send me to the countryside to raise pigs??? No joke?]
[System: No, it’s true.]
After conversing with the System for a while, the gloom in Ji Wenyan’s heart completely dissipated.
It wasn’t that he was inherently optimistic and broad-minded; rather, he realized that if he didn’t follow the System’s instructions, things would become incredibly troublesome!
As for the national math competition, with his enhanced mathematical skills, Ji Wenyan felt confident he could easily outperform all the top students.
Following Bai Mengze to college, however, was a necessity. He learned from the System that his father’s resolve was firm: if he truly failed to get into college, he would indeed be sent to raise pigs!
Since Bai Mengze was consumed by a strong desire to avenge her parents, she couldn’t possibly follow him to the countryside to raise pigs for a few years.
If that happened, his cultivation mission would be interrupted, and without vitality points, he would die!
Sometimes, the System proved quite useful after all.
[System: Congratulations, host, for coming to your senses. Please strive to complete your missions, accumulate more vitality points, and achieve greater freedom.]
After concluding his conversation with the System, Ji Wenyan reopened his eyes.
He turned to glance at Bai Mengze, who was diligently studying. A faint smile touched Ji Wenyan’s lips as he considered that their fate extended far beyond this moment.
Attending college together would grant them at least four more years of interaction.
He hoped to successfully cultivate Bai Mengze within this period, thereby finally escaping the shadow of death.

“Ji Wenyan, do I still need to wear makeup?”
“Hmm, I want to keep practicing my skills. While it looks decent now, I’m still a beginner, after all…”
“Alright, I was hoping that once I removed my makeup, those people wouldn’t keep bothering me.”
On the school rooftop, by the time Ji Wenyan arrived with his makeup kit again, the makeup buff on Bai Mengze’s face had just worn off.
As Ji Wenyan began to reapply her makeup, Bai Mengze expressed a touch of concern.
Upon hearing her reason for not wanting to continue with makeup, Ji Wenyan felt a mixture of amusement and exasperation. He mused that even without makeup, Bai Mengze was stunning, especially with her beauty attribute enhanced.
Applying makeup now allowed them to attribute the attention she received to her appearance. If she went without it, people would be even more astonished.
“You can’t think that way. If you don’t wear makeup, and your attractiveness drops a little, those people fixated on you might report more recklessly. For instance, rumors of back-door deals or shady operations would immediately surface. Perhaps Li Zhongyi, whom we beat up yesterday, would even add fuel to the fire.”
“Oh… in that case, I suppose I’ll just keep wearing makeup every day!”
“Yes, don’t worry. I’ll always be by your side, so you don’t need to fret about your makeup.”

As Ji Wenyan placed the lip brush on Bai Mengze’s lips, he chatted with her, suppressing the surge of pleasant surprise in his heart. He couldn’t outright laugh in front of Bai Mengze; it would be too undignified.
The reason was simple: the System’s rewards had arrived!
