Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 299 Flirting
At this moment, Han Zhou was naturally unaware of the conversation that took place in the milk tea shop.

After thinking about Zhong Yin's purpose to no avail, he quickly put the matter behind him, climbed into bed and began to study another more important matter——

Status bar upgrade.

To this day, although this is no longer an imminent matter, he still has high expectations for the new functions of the fourth-level status bar, and checked his current status before upgrading.

[Name: Han Zhou]

【Intelligence: 7】

【Charm: 8】

[Stamina: 8 (temporary)]

[Skills: Efficient learning, cooking proficiency, fast reading, chronic illness (strengthened), powerful throwing, photographic memory, adrenaline, analogy, animal affinity, conscience, good at crafts]

[Occupation: College student, senior chef, skilled quack doctor, passionate young man, mission master, fearless warrior]

[Inventory: Dali pills Eleven Future Simulator×16]

[Current status: Dying (temporarily cured): Your breathing is long and powerful, your heartbeat is active and strong, your vitality is as strong as fire, your overall physical fitness has been greatly improved, and your body functions are far beyond ordinary people]

[Random status: Resign yourself to fate: Let God and fate arrange and manipulate you. Now you will be more likely to trigger temporary tasks and event tasks]

[Professional Status: Passionate Youth: You are a passionate youth who acts bravely for justice. After the status is turned on, all attributes will be slightly improved. Good deeds may be rewarded more easily in your body. You can turn it on and off at any time]

[Status bar level: 3, current points remaining: 681]

"It takes five hundred points to upgrade the status bar. The remaining one hundred points should be enough to deal with most emergencies..."

Thinking of this, Han Zhou did not hesitate and decisively chose to upgrade the status bar.

Like the previous two times, this upgrade was still completed very quickly, and a series of characters popped up soon.

[Status bar upgrade completed, current level: 4]

[New products are added to the mall every month, so you will have a higher probability of getting high-quality products in the future]

[The maximum limit for status effects has been increased, please use your imagination more boldly]

[Task access channels have been broadened, and the probability of triggering tasks has increased. In addition to daily tasks, the number of points obtained through any means will increase by 20%]

[Added new function of detecting and modifying the specified target status]

[Points required to advance to the next level: 2000]

……

Han Zhou quickly read through all the information.

Compared with the third-level status bar, the fourth-level status bar does not have many new functions, but more of it just upgrades the original functions.

However, he is not disappointed. Whether it is the new products or the increase in the ways and quantity of points, they are very useful to him.

As for the meaning of "increasing the upper limit of the status that can be effective", it is not difficult to understand. To put it simply, those statuses that could not be successfully modified due to too exaggerated descriptions in the past may now be able to be modified successfully.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Han Zhou set the "senior chef" in the profession to the professional status, and then tried to modify it.

[Senior Chef (modified) → Senior Chef: The military has a handsome man, and so does his cooking skills. Within three hours after the status is turned on, your understanding of any given dish will reach its peak. When competing in cooking competitions, you will have a greater chance of overwhelming your opponents with momentum. During this period, your charm will increase slightly, making it easier to attract others. Eyes, when you win everyone's attention, you will have a certain probability of making glowing golden dishes. Cooling time, three hours]

"This can all work..."

Seeing the new status with full effects, Han Zhou was surprised and happy. He had tried to modify the status of various professions before, including this "senior chef", but most of them ended in failure.

Now even the "luminous cooking" effect added with the intention of being a prank can be realized. It seems that the saying "please use your imagination more boldly" is not just talk.

He was quite satisfied with this.

Giving up the idea of ​​going out to find a place to stir-fry dishes now, Han Zhou turned his attention to the only new function that appeared after the upgrade of the status bar.

Simply put, the new function allows him to spend points to designate a target, detect and modify the opponent's current status.

His evaluation of this feature is average.

It's not that the function is average, but the practicality is average, and the places where it can be used are relatively limited.

Han Zhou had noticed before that, except for himself, the states of Guzheng Lin Anyu and others were basically changing all the time, and most of them were insignificant mood states, sometimes one or two, sometimes none, and even if they could be modified, they were not modified. necessary.

Precisely because it was too inconsequential, he rarely paid attention to the status of people around him before.

The problem is, apart from those people who are close to him, he has no intention of wasting points to check the status of irrelevant people, let alone modify it.

They don't use it where it can be used, and they don't bother to use it where it can't be used. In short, at least in Han Zhou's opinion, the practicality of this new function is not very high.

Of course, if one day you happen to see someone in a "dying" state, then this function can play an extraordinary role.

Han Zhou was not in a hurry to make a conclusion, and planned to find an opportunity to study it carefully in the future. Speaking of which, he still couldn't see Mo Yixia's state until now, so he could just find that guy to test it out...

Forget it, I always feel like I will be discovered, but if I just take a look, it should be fine...

Han Zhou's mind was filled with random thoughts and he fell asleep soon.

There was class the next morning, so he got up early as usual, went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast, and headed to the classroom while eating, thinking about how to ask Xiao Xiaoxiao about her insomnia later.

Xiao Xiaoxiao probably doesn't know anything about it, and I'm afraid it's hard to find out why...

While he was thinking, Han Zhou suddenly felt someone pat his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw the tall and powerful Zhang Tao appearing behind him, saying hello with a smile.

"Morning."

The temperature is dropping day by day, but Zhang Tao is still dressed as if he has just entered autumn. He is holding a book and a pencil case in his hand. He is obviously going to class.

"morning."

Han Zhou smiled and saw that the other party was carrying a backpack containing live broadcast equipment and asked curiously, "Senior, do you also bring these things with you in class?"

Although Zhang Tao raised the issue of addressing each other several times, he still used to address each other as senior.

Mainly because it's smooth.

"How is that possible?" Zhang Tao laughed and said, "These devices are expensive and not easy to drop. I will only bring them with me when I want to live broadcast."

So are you planning to start a live broadcast?
Han Zhou hesitated for a moment: "The content of the senior's live broadcast seems to be usually about extreme sports..."

He looked strange, thinking that Zhang Tao actually planned to broadcast live in the school. Could it be that he wanted to skydive from the top of the teaching building?
Zhang Tao knew from the look on his face that he was thinking wrong, and explained with a smile: "Most of the time it's extreme sports, but sometimes there are also live broadcasts of night explorations of haunted houses or late-night adventures."

"Like today?" Han Zhou understood.

"Yes, originally there was quite a demand for visiting the dormitory of freshman girls at night. I heard that there have been rumors of being haunted there recently, but you also know that I can't get into that place, so I found a relatively famous one on the Internet. It’s a haunted place, I plan to visit it tonight.”

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Senior's courage is worthy of admiration."

Although he does not believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world, he has always been in awe of them and would not go out of his way to play any ghost-detection games. And it can be seen that this senior has really no fear. He talks as if he is just checking in. I'm afraid he has visited many haunted places in the past. No wonder he is called "I don't know whether to live or die."

As for whether this should be called courage or seeking death, that is a matter of opinion.

"Don't laugh at me. There's nothing admirable in this. I just like to pursue excitement."

Zhang Tao shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then said sincerely, "To be honest, although I dare to do many dangerous things, I don't dare to jump off a cliff to save people like you."

Although extreme sports are dangerous, they are still within the scope of sports, but they require higher physical and mental qualities. Jumping off a cliff without taking any safety measures is really seeking death. He thinks that is It can't be done.

"It's just good luck. I won't dare to jump again if I do it again." Han Zhou smiled.

"Look at what you said, how many people don't even have the courage to jump once."

Zhang Tao did not continue the topic, thought for a while and asked, "By the way, I want to change the live broadcast style tonight, and I plan to find a few people to go explore the spirits together. Are you interested?"

As if he was afraid that Han Zhou would misunderstand, he added, "I just asked casually, it doesn't matter if I don't go."

He had invited Han Zhou to participate in extreme sports many times before, and he was worried that he would give him the impression of being a stalker.

Of course Han Zhou was not interested in soul searching or anything like that, but he didn't refuse directly. Instead, he said, "I'll think about it."

"Okay, if you want to go, remember to contact me before six o'clock in the afternoon so that I can make arrangements in advance."

Zhang Tao smiled and the two separated downstairs.

Han Zhou came to the classroom, found an empty seat by the window and sat down, lowering his head to check the news report that Zhang Tao had just sent.

The content of the report was very simple, probably about how strange things happened frequently in an unfinished building, the cries and footsteps in the middle of the night, the lights that flickered from time to time even though the power was not on, and the vague ghostly figures seen far outside the window... ...it looks quite similar.

However, this type of reports usually have a common problem, that is, no matter how extravagantly they describe strange things, they cannot provide any tangible evidence of the existence of ghosts.

It just so happens that a documentary can be filmed just like this...

Han Zhou shook his head secretly, but did not directly question the authenticity of this report. After all, if I had to say it, the description in the report was quite similar to Wang Runxue's description last night. Since there can be "ghosts" in the school, then the school Of course, the outside can also be "haunted".

Hoping that there might be something in common between the two incidents, Han Zhou was fascinated by the report.

"What are you looking at? Show me."

Not long after, a sleepy voice interrupted Han Zhou's thoughts, and he saw Xiao Xiaoxiao throwing the book on the table, then yawning and sitting next to him, patting his face randomly with both hands, as if Didn't seem to sleep well at night.

Han Zhou glanced at her and handed her the phone over.

Xiao Xiaoxiao lowered his head and glanced twice, his eyes widened immediately, as if he suddenly woke up, he quickly handed the phone back, and said calmly: "Looking at this so early in the morning, do you have a mental problem? "

Han Zhou observed her expression calmly and said tentatively: "Similar things have been circulating in girls' dormitories for a long time. Don't you know?"

"Stop talking nonsense! There is no such thing in the girls' dormitory, just...even if there was, I wouldn't know!" Xiao Xiaoxiao's face turned red and she kicked him angrily.

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, wondering why this guy's reaction was so big. When he lowered his head, he discovered that the report page on his phone had disappeared at some point, and was replaced by an unseemly pornographic website, with a woman covered in burly clothes on the cover.

There is also a particularly eye-catching line of large characters directly above -

"Passionate hookups are available all over the country."

The corner of his mouth twitched, and then he realized what happened, and quickly exited the page, thinking that he could automatically jump to this kind of website. It seemed that the source of this report was not serious, and he didn't know where Zhang Tao found it...

He coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment, clicked on the report page again, pushed his phone over and said, "You misunderstood, this is what I'm talking about..."

"I'm warning you, if you show me those inappropriate things again, then don't blame me for being inhospitable..."

Xiao Xiaoxiao decided to give Han Zhou a chance. He snorted and turned his head to look over. He was stunned for a moment, then became furious and gritted his teeth and said, "You bitch, I'll fight you!"

Han Zhou felt something in his heart when he saw the page on his mobile phone automatically jump again. A new sexy cover appeared, and there was still a line of eye-catching large characters at the top——

"A date? Tonight at midnight, passionate."

His eyelids trembled, he took a deep breath and said, "I can explain."

Xiao Xiaoxiao didn't believe it and would fight him desperately without saying a word.

Han Zhou held down her head expressionlessly to prevent the opponent's bastard punch from hurting him, then exited the page and re-entered under the opponent's glare.

"That's what I just watched."

"You bitch, let go! If you have the ability, let go..."

Looking at the report about hauntings on the screen in front of him, Xiao Xiaoxiao's momentum gradually weakened, and then he realized that he might have misunderstood Han Zhou, but he had no intention of apologizing, so he slapped the other person away and held his head. hands and curled his lips in disdain.

"What's the difference? It's not a good thing to watch this early in the morning."

"..."

At the back of the classroom, Zhou Ting, who had been paying attention to the two of them silently, nodded secretly, becoming more and more sure of her previous guess——

There is indeed something wrong with these two people!
Xiaoxiao looked like she hadn't slept enough before she came to the classroom. Not only did she naturally sit next to Han Zhou when she entered the classroom, but now she was suddenly full of energy, chatting and laughing with Han Zhou...

Isn't this flirting?
Han Zhou didn't know that someone in the classroom had redefined the word "flirting". He observed Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was still angry, for a moment and asked, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

"I caught a cold last night. I wonder if I could sleep well."

Xiao Xiaoxiao snorted coldly. She could still think of those pictures that made people blush. She felt ashamed and angry and spoke very rudely.

Han Zhou didn't care and asked the question that concerned him: "Did you take cold medicine before going to bed?"

"Nonsense, you don't take medicine when you are sick?"

"Did you take your cold medicine and sleeping pills together?"

"None of your business..."

Xiao Xiaoxiao didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but when he noticed that the other party's tone suddenly became serious, he cooperated and said nervously, "What's wrong, can't we eat together?"

"Answer my question first, that's important."

"Also...it can't be considered as taking them together. I took the cold medicine first and then the sleeping pills. There was about a minute or two in between...Is there any problem?"

Xiao Xiaoxiao answered truthfully and murmured in a low voice, "So these two things can't be eaten together. Who told you not to tell me before? Why did I keep having nightmares last night..."

"Having a nightmare?" Han Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he suddenly understood something, and repeated, "Did you have a nightmare last night?"

"Yes, what's wrong with the nightmare? Why are you so excited?" Xiao Xiaoxiao was startled and looked at him doubtfully, "Why do I feel that you are so strange today..."

"Do you still remember what kind of nightmare it was?" Han Zhou interrupted her and said seriously, "Answer my questions first. If you have any questions, I will tell you later."

He suspected that the problem might lie in this so-called nightmare.
